đ Recommendation Off Campus: a young adult romance novel. [Eng/Esp]
Hello, film lovers!
I hope youâre all well. Iâve been really busy with uni, so I havenât been able to post recently, but now that Iâve finished my first exams, Iâm feeling much more relaxed. And as Iâve been constantly seeing edits of hockey and a girl wearing JLoâs iconic green dress dancing with a guy dressed as Maverick, I decided to watch the new Amazon Prime series: Off Campus.

The story goes like this: Hannah Wells is a music student with an incredible voice and a painful past, who is secretly in love with Justin Kholh, but Justin doesnât even look at her. Then thereâs Garret Graham, captain of the hockey team, a decent bloke but a bit of a womaniser, and a father he canât stand. Garret just needs to pass one subject, and Hannah needs to get Justinâs attention.
So Garret, in âmen want what other men wantâ mode, convinces Hannah that Justin will only notice her if they become a couple. So, in exchange for Hannah tutoring him, heâll pretend to be her boyfriend and make the guy jealousâwho, according to Garret, âis just a pretentious idiotâ. And so begins the fake romance between Garret and Hannah that will turn into love.

I donât watch many teen romance series, but I really liked this one, though I admit I did pause it several times because I couldnât bear the heartbreak, ha ha ha; itâs just that some of the things that happened either made me laugh or cringe on their behalf. The story is a clichĂ©, but that doesnât detract from it. I liked how the relationship between Hannah and Garret developed; there was chemistry from the start and the trust needed to turn to each other when they needed help â in other words, a healthy relationship.
Plus, it wasnât some weird love triangle between the hockey player, the confused girl and the singer with a deep soul. The story fits right into this sports romance boom, being entertaining and melodramatic without going over the top. Garretâs teammatesâLogan, Dean and Tuckerâbrought that fun, humorous tone to the series, as well as setting up subplots that, as I understand it, will be developed in future seasons.


I really liked the execution of the story; it was entertaining in every episode and managed to hook the audienceâmostly femaleâwhether through the romance, the drama, the personal growth, or simply the handsome lads playing hockey, making it ideal for viewers aged 20â30 or older.

I really liked the character of Garret, as heâs a guy whoâs understanding towards Hannah and breaks away from the dynamic of the âmale lead who treats the girl he claims to love badly at every turnâ, and Hannah as a girl who knows exactly what she wants in life, which makes the romance flow naturally and without too many hiccups, beyond simply realising they like each other. From what Iâve read, the series is based on a series of books by Ellen Kennedy, so it already had a solid fan base, and now, given the success the story has enjoyed, it looks set to continue with Garretâs friends and hockey teammates.

ÂĄHola, amantes de las pelĂculas!
Espero que se encuentren bien. He estado muy ocupada con la universidad, por lo que no he podido publicar recientemente, pero gracias a que ya presenté mis primeros exåmenes, estoy mucho mås tranquila. Y como no han parado de salirme edits de hockey y de una chica vestida con el icónico vestido verde de JLo bailando con un chico disfrazado de Maverick, decidà ver la nueva serie de Amazon Prime: Off Campus.

La historia va asĂ: Hannah Wells es una estudiante de mĂșsica con una increĂble voz y un pasado doloroso, que estĂĄ secretamente enamorada de Justin Kholh, pero Justin ni siquiera la mira. Por otro lado, estĂĄ Garret Graham, capitĂĄn del equipo de hockey, buena persona, pero mujeriego, y un padre que detesta. Garret solo necesita aprobar una materia y Hannah necesita llamar la atenciĂłn de Justin.
Por lo que Garret, en modo âlos hombres quieren lo que otros hombres quierenâ, convence a Hannah de que Justin solo se fijarĂĄ en ella si ellos se vuelven novios. Por lo que, a cambio de que Hannah le dĂ© tutorĂas, Ă©l fingirĂĄ ser su novio y darle celos a quien, segĂșn Garret, âes solo un pendejo pretenciosoâ. AsĂ comienza el romance falso entre Garret y Hannah que derivarĂĄ en amor.

No veo muchas series juveniles de romance, pero esta me gustĂł mucho, aunque admito que sĂ pausĂ© varias veces porque no podĂa con la pena, jajaja; es que algunas cosas que pasaban o me daban risa o pena ajena. La historia es un clichĂ©, pero eso no le quita puntos. Me gustĂł cĂłmo se desarrollĂł la relaciĂłn entre Hannah y Garret; habĂa quĂmica desde el principio y la confianza necesaria para acudir al otro cuando necesitaban ayuda, es decir, una relaciĂłn sana.
Ademås de que no fue un triångulo amoroso todo raro entre el jugador de hockey, la chica confundida y el cantante con alma profunda. La historia entra en este auge del sport romance, siendo entretenida y melodramåtica sin caer en la exageración. Los compañeros de Garret: Logan, Dean y Tucker le aportaron ese tono divertido y humorista a la serie, ademås de dar paso a subtramas que, por lo que entiendo, se desarrollarån en futuras temporadas.


Me gustĂł mucho la ejecuciĂłn de la historia, siendo entretenida en cada episodio y capaz de enganchar al pĂșblico, mayormente femenino, ya sea por el romance, el drama, la superaciĂłn o simplemente los chicos guapos que juegan hockey, ideal para el pĂșblico de entre 20-30 o mĂĄs.

Me gustĂł mucho el personaje de Garret, al ser un chico comprensivo con Hannah y romper esta dinĂĄmica de âprotagonista masculino que trata mal en cada paso a la chica que dice amarâ, y Hannah como una chica clara de lo que quiere en la vida, lo que hace que el romance fluya con sentido y sin tantos tropiezos, mĂĄs allĂĄ del darse cuenta de que se gustan. SegĂșn leĂ, la serie se basa en una serie de libros de Ellen Kennedy, por lo que ya tenĂa una sĂłlida base de fans y ahora, con el Ă©xito que ha tenido la historia, parece que continuarĂĄ con los amigos y compañeros de hockey de Garret.
estĂĄ interesante, buen post
