Freddie Wong and RocketJump shaped my childhood. This show incapsulates in my opinion the greatest era in YouTube history where creativity thrived. I loved VGHS then and I love it now. It is so endearing and my ultimate fantasy as a kid... i mean going to a video game high school!!!

Finishing this rewatch genuinely made me sad, i remembered watching this when it first came out and being excited for the new seasons and rewatching them under my duvet late night in Ramadan hoping my parents wouldn't find out.

It is very 2012 but the show doesnt shy away from its 'cringeness' and the comedy and characters are so amazing. I miss that time in my life, its a childhood i wish i could go back to where I could fantasise over living Brian D's life. Such a special show that has never been replicated.

I thank Freddie Wong for making a show that was free and gave me so much joy. I wish i can watch it again and again and again. Even typing this review gets me sad. So nostalgic i love it so much.

This show... can i just say it is such a visceral feast, i don't think i have seen wounds and blood effects look this good?? The story is very engaging with great pacing and a lead that is instantly easy to get behind. Yeon Jin as an antagonist is equally, SO HATEABLE! I enjoyed my time with this very much, it was consistently good with a few standout episodes. Bullying and school violence is a subject that needs to be explored more within media. Also the lighting in this show is insane, casually better looking than any MCU modern project. K dramas take their time and don't hold back on the story they want to tell. Would have liked to see Moon delve into the consequences of her seeking revenge more but the show handles the grey morality of these characters very well and it is a very satisfying experience.
