Not bad, but not the best

This series as a whole flip-flops between the good aspects and bad aspects of a series.

The good is how they articulate the typical Thai BL school setting but under a different scope of perspective. There's bullying that is acknowledged, there's the raw and truthful feelings of fear as these late teens approach adulthood, and there's relationships that tie into the title itself. The chemistry/intimate moments is another plus that I was quite shocked with. In a sense, it's a new form of characters displaying affection with their partners. A lot of these characters are portrayed as young, so their experiences feel just about as awkward and rushed in as any late teen would be. There's a lot of nostalgia that goes hand in hand with Second Chance as a whole, which is why I kind of sympathize and relate to some of the characters.

The okay of the show is the acting. Part of this plays in with the length, but there's quite a bit of scenes that have pauses, under or overacting. There are some good actors, but there's also some that need to work on their craft. It's not terrible acting, again, just needs to be improved upon.

The bad is, as I've stated one, the length. It just does not cut it. At first it seemed to be 8 episodes, but then it got shortened down to 6. And while it could've worked with only 6, there were too many filler scenes or characters that tried to fit into a scene but didn't work out. Much of the story relies on the character's interactions, but there were characters that felt too flat to understand. Another thing is the music, it was just a complete distraction. But the biggest distraction is that in most of the scenes there's very loud background noise that many times took away my focus from the scenes. Likely some editing error, but also likely a simple fix that somehow went over their heads.

Overall, this series is still worth a watch. It's a nice show to sidetrack from another if you want something happy, short and sweet.
