Sweet and funny with lovely characters

Let me just start off by saying that I wasnt sure if I would actually like this series when the trailer first came out bc Im usually not a fan of high school bls. I decided to give it a try after 6 episodes were already aired and I was simply blown away!

The chemistry of Fourth and Gemini was off the charts. The storyline has been done before, yes, but it was still really nice and they made it feel fresh. Too many times we see unnecessary drama and toxic things going on between couples in bls, but this one, literally the most minimal conflict, but when there was conflict, there was COMMUNICATION. Such a wild concept for bls for the characters to actually communicate with eachother and help eachother through struggles they experience. I am also not a fan of super cringy stuff, but they pulled off all of the silly, comedic relief scenes flawlessly with very minimal second hand embarassment and most of the time had me actually laughing rather than cringing.

Overall if you like sweet, light-hearted, and silly dramas with characters that just love eachother unconditionally, def give this one a watch!

I might add more to this later, but thats it for now♡

Very diverse story telling

I honestly really loved this drama because of the diversity of it. Its unlike any drama I've watched. Each 2 episodes, theres a different couple instead of them switching between each couple every episode and granted, I have gotten used to that from watching dramas, it still kind of bothers me because sometimes story lines are left unfinished and also the switching back and forth between 3 or 4 couples just throws my brain off some days haha
If you like watching anthology series that semi link up together, then you should definitely watch this one. Some episodes will make you cry, some will make you laugh hysterically, some are super steamy, and some are super cute, then theres ones that will literally just make you say what IS this??? I personally love some of the tropes they did with this because they are different and I either haven't seen them done often or I've never seen them done at all in a drama.
I will say that not ALL the acting is great, but theres alot of really good actors in this one. (Kudos to Talay and Perth for breaking my heart with their performance)

Character ratings(contains spoilers from here on):

Tue & Ake: 4/10 Personally didnt enjoy their story. It seemed really forced and fast tbh and just I dunno. It wasn't for me.

Nuea & Sun: 8/10 They were incredibly adorable and I loved Nuea being such a flirty little brat and Sun being an awkward cutie. Overall I enjoyed their story, but it didnt wow me as much as it could have

Team & Mon: 6/10 Their ending was nice, but the beginning was just... meh for me. They are cute and I love the way Mon talks about Team in the other episodes after they are together. He's really adorable.

Thurs & Pae: 8/10 I love spirit dramas so this one got me. Its so cute and I just love it so much. Their dynamic was great and they were so pure and sweet.

Kaeng & Puth: 7/10 Here we go. Unpopular opinion, I kind of wish they didnt get together at the end. I really, really wanted to like them more. I did. I do like the developement. They did a great job portraying their situation in just 2 hours honestly. Its just so, so toxic. Their relationship is just so bad. Their chemistry is amazing on screen and the reason they got a 7 instead of lower is because they portrayed these characters so well and the acting was phenomenal. And I understand the storyline very well and I understand what Kaeng was going through(because I've been in a similar situation irl so I know and understand the feelings of the character). But the scene where Kaeng shows up in Puth's room and just tries to get him to have sex with him and Puth told him no and he kept going for a bit longer really just.... was a little too far for me. That being said, I did like the storyline and I love the acting in this one, but I think they are a really overhyped couple for what goes down.

Sat & Choke 7/10 Okay. I enjoy their story. I kinda wish they went a different route instead of the 13 going on 30 spin off, but to be fair, I havent seen that done in any dramas so... Other than that, I love the characters. The acting was great imo. The way Sat portrayed himself as really confused and acting a bit childish during the episodes was a great touch. I did feel bad for Choke though because he was real confused with Sat coming to see him after all those years out of the blue. I'm not surprised(or upset) that he went off with someone else at the end of the one scene. It broke my heart, but I could understand why and it made it more realistic rather than them just ending up together after Sat hurt Choke like he did and didn’t speak to him for all those years. They ended up happy in the end though so that was fine with me considering the time travel thing going on so.

Tw // death mentions Masuk, Tir, & Jia 9/10 Maybe I'm biased because I literally adore all of the actors in these episodes, but it was my favourite(I love hurt and angst as well). Lets start off with what I DIDN'T like about this one. First of all, Masuk and Jia seemed a little weird and awkward to me. I wish they had been able to show a little bit more chemisty(considering their roles in other dramas had great chemistry) with eachother in this. They seem so blah in this one. Also, as others had stated, Tir needed to move on at some point. Like why did he keep showing up in all the scenes. Lastly, I felt like it was dragging on SO long at the end. The last 10 minutes or so were TORTUROUSLY slow. They could have cut out that entire last scene of them sleeping in the bed together and left it at them having their meal with Tir and it would have been better imo. Also, damn do cinemas in Thailand catch fire like more that once a year because Masuk went through 2 fires in 2 years...... I would not be going to see movies in a cinema there tbh if thats the case....
Anyways, on to the positives. Masuk and Tir story was so, so heartbreakingly painful to watch(in a good way). Masuk just going through that pain and feeling so much guilt and Talay did a fantastic job at portraying that. They did such a great job making it seem real and making you feel that ache in your chest as you watched Masuk drag himself through life. I loved Masuk being able to see that he wouldnt have been able to save Tir even if he was there so that he would not feel as guilty for not being there. Then being able to have that moment between them and Tir telling Masuk that its okay to always love him and never forget him, but to also move on with his life and find things that make him happy as hard as it is. And I think thats really what Masuk needed was to hear that. It makes me think of like when people lose loved ones and most of the time, they wish they could talk to that loved one, once more to clear everything and Masuk got that because the universe knew that would be what he needed. I loved being able to see Talay and Perth playing a more serious role. It really shows how great their acting skills are. I prefer them as a silly cute couple, but from an acting standpoint, its refreshing to see that they could pull off such a serious and heartbreaking role and make you feel that pain.
As for Masuk and Jia as a couple, I appreciated Jia being the type of person to let Masuk come to him instead of actively persuing him. He was patient and kind and attentive and just such a sweet bean. I feel like we didn't really get a good feel for Yoon's acting which was a little upsetting(becsuse he really is a great actor), but he did good nonetheless. I kind of wish we would have been able to see their relationship grow a bit more, but alas, you can only put so much in 2 hours.
Alright. I'm done.

Anyways, its a very enjoyable series and I hope this review was helpful to anyone who needed an opinion :)
