Moorim School

Little dude and I finished The King's Avatar and so are looking for our next together watch. I talked him into trying Moorim School, as it looked like a decent match for him. Teenage-ish magical fantasy action-y adventure set at a school with kick butt scenes and at least one feisty heroine. Some humour as well.

I wouldn't say he was in love with the first episode, though he did like it. Mostly he thought it was kind of stereotypical and, well, he's right. There weren't any surprises.

There's the K-pop Idol (with blonde hair) being blackballed by his manager because he's made enough money off of him and he's difficult and the poor dude is struggling with some kind of uncontrolled magical power + hearing loss caused by it and feeling very alone.

Then there's the rich dude with the controlling father who's been kicked out of every school he's ever gone too...his father kidnaps him to try and force him to go to Moorim school and he tries running away and is ultimately saved from drowning by plucky, non-nonsense "could sell ice to an eskimo" long dark haired pig-tail girl from a humble background...and falls for her immediately, calling her Little Mermaid. Once he finds out she goes to Moorim school, he's all in.

And there's the other girl, who (I think) is the daughter of the headmaster, who has some kind of magical ability of his own...and she's a big fan of the Kpop dude, even saving his life when some lighting rig almost falls on him at his concert.

Hmmmm...I think we can see who's going to wind up with who based on who saved who? Could be wrong, but maybe.

Anyway, it's kinda cheesy but fairly interesting. I think he would have liked it more if the end bit with the preview of the next episode hadn't basically given the entire episode away. Might have to try him on some other shows as well and see which one sticks, but I'll watch this one either way, I imagine. I like the plucky girl in particular.
