IT IS A LOOK INTO AN ADULT LOVE

The series is a showcase of adults' love lives. It's not the kind of love that you would commonly find in the other series. You may think that wearing university uniforms would mean this series would be as lovey-dovey and buoyant as the rest, but you will be wrong. There are some plot holes and intentional story-prolonging takes, yet, the love in the series was profound, emotional and well-thought-through.
First of all, I don't think people would find the story pace enjoyable, at all. It was long and draggy, the characters were given short sentences in intervals with long pauses and sloppy speaking pace. I myself had to put it on x2 speed (on less important scenes) just so that I didn't have to wait too long for them to finish 10 sentences. However, the greatest compliment I had for the dialogs was every single one of them has supportive meanings for the process of developing the characters and for the story itself. Nothing was redundant.
Looking at the acting, the actors did not do so well. They acted very well in scenes where the characters were happy and were enjoying themselves, on the contrary, in scenes where the characters were depressed or sad or crying, they didn't had it in them. I was even annoyed by the feigned cry. But still, there were far less crying and being sad in this series than laughing and being silly.
On the other hand, the camera work was so refined and beautiful, I thought I was watching something made with a billion budget. Except for when they play basketballs, every other scene was filmed beautifully and carries within itself a span of emotions. For someone who adores picturous camera takes like me, this was a candy for the eyes.
The biggest praise I give is to the written characters. The 2 main characters were a lot of things, and some of those, might be you; I know plenty of those were me. Zo/Zoe/Soh/So was a calm, chill, caring, silly, selfless and mainly matured character. His interactions with the second main character would always revolves around (and can be explained through) these qualities. Anything he does, he does for a good reason. His desires conflicting with his rationality was true and understandable. The only illogic action he did was refusing to confess his love until episode XXXX. But as I said in the beginning, the series was intentionally prolonged on some things; Next, we have Mon, he was going through mild-severe depression (which made him inactive and socially distant), he was also a sensitive and stubborn loner. Therefore, If you don't understand this type of person or that you have never seen one, it would be really upsetting to see him interacting with the Soh, nevertheless, if you do know/understand this type of people, you will surely sympathize with him. The funny thing is, because they were both so sensitive that they mistreated each other many times, yet, they were the match that you could have never replaced.
On top of that, the music was brilliant, the music was not magnificent itself but it was placed at the right time, in the right scene, in other words, was used to its fullest. Thai series don't usually pay that much attention to music but this one really hit the spot, in every important scene, you have the music guide your feelings and sometimes, even tell you things that the characters didn't say aloud. It translated, it conveyed. They really deserves a standing ovation with the music.
Lastly, I would like to quote a dialogue from the series: "You did the right thing. You were right. You were so right...that it was irratating...Being a good person, doing the right thing, I say it's bullshit. Don't you want to follow your heart ?"
