started of really strong

The first 2/3 of the series is well produced and edited, then something happened. It’s also like they kind of gave up on the story line? I’m not sure. The plot isn’t jumpy and difficult to follow, and the series is an easy watch. Someone compared it to an old soap opera and I like that analogy.

Acting wise its a little stiff at times, not as natural as I personally would have liked. Its not bad, just sometimes feel like they are delivering lines they are uncomfortable with or doesn’t come natural to them to say.

It’s def NC heavy, some scenes better done than others. And some edited a lot better in the post-production than others. My take away is that the production company started to do a bad job somewhere in the process of making this series and that is hurting the overall feel of quality more than the delivery of the actors.

Will I rewatch? Maybe, maybe not. Probably only the first half, if I do.

Different Young Adult Program

An amazing story giving a snap shot of 7 fresh university students life, how they deal with becomming adults and dealing with various difficulties in their upbringing while their lives intersect over the time as the series progresses.

I personally enjoyed some of the storylines more than others, however overall they were all interesting and varied. The supporting characters are also great and bring a lot to the stories.

If you expect something cute and fluffy, this is not the series for you. But, if you would like something more gritty, dramatic and at times action filled then this is the series for you.

The acting of Phuwin, Ohm, Piploy and Satand is top notch and I particularly enjoyed seeing them in roles we have not seen from some of them before. It gave it freshness and newness that kept my interest throughout.

Excellent series, ep2-8

Cute, warm and the best ever after episode 1.

Picking this up again after dropping it after episode 1 is the best desicion I’ve made seres-wise in a long time. The first episode was so over-the-top that I chose to wait for all the episodes to be released and try again binging it. And ep 2-8 was amazing!

It is so unserious, and funny, and an easy watch. I loved it and now regret I didnt keep up watching it weekly. If you have dropped it, I would recommend you picking it back up again. Its never gonna be the best masterpiece you ever saw, but if you are in need of something to make you happy this is a good series to choose.

Difficult to rate

I greatly enjoyed this series each Friday when it aired. To me its difficult to rate because the story behind all the product placements (both commercial and GMMtv own) is pretty great. However they do not give the story enough time to shine. Taking out all the commercial bits from the series leaves us with a lot shorter time to tell the story.

The story itself isnt the most groundbreaking or new, but it is feel-good and will definitivly make you laugh out loud in places. Sometimes you just wanna watch a story thats gonna make you happy. Creds to them for making a BL where the Het couple arnt hella annoying and manage to keep my interest. The best parts of the series are the ones that we have found out were improvised by Gemini and Fourth, which says something about the script quality.

The acting is good, the chemistry is decent and except for the directing and script, overall its a good series. Would I recommend you this show? 100% yes. But if you are easily annoyed by product placements then use the skip button. I probably will rewatch it again someday in the nearish future.

Slow burn you need to watch

After episode 3 I was completly invested. It is a slow burn, but the chemistry is there in spades. If you appreciate a good romance story with undoubtly queer storytelling, this is a series for you. The side couples are also good and have engaging plot lines of their own, and not just as fillers.

The series is quite spicy, but it doesn’t feel added for shock value and misplaced. It feels as its there to drive the story further and as a tool to show the progression of the relationships between the couples. Also, they all have great chemistry in their pairings.

I just love the cuteness, affection, spicyness and clear love in this series. The actor who plays Sky is a standout to me, and I’m now a fan.

starts getting really good at ep3

I think this is one of the only series where I was disappointed after watching the first episode, because it didn’t reach my expectations. But, then as the episodes went by, it got better and better and in the end I really enjoyed the story and the actors performances. If you can get theough episode 1, and drop your negative feelings during episode 2, then from 3 and onwards it’s actually a really great story.

The story really hooked me, and struck a cord in me as I myself have been a Jade in the sense that I have been struggling with self-acceptance and self-confidence. The thourough stary telling of why Jade is who he is and how that has affected him till this day, makes him a very familiar character whom you have symphathy for. Mai is delightful and Tutor does an excellent job in making him communicative without saying much. Their chemistry was great and the acting top-notch. Their story hooked me and I became invested quite easily.

The side-couples are also great, however I would have liked more time spent on them, but I guess a show is in the works for them as well? Idk, but I’m invested in them as well.

Real Life Experience in a Show

Except for certain scenes and the ending: This was a series with the perfect depiction of real life and relationships. It showed raw emotion and how messy those early twenties can be. You think you are grown-up and know who you are. Its a show with no good-guy and no villain, just regular messy human-beings.

I was a little disappointed in how the series was tied up at the end, and it felt a little like a cop out. However, I understand why they chose to do as they did. We could have had the same ending, but written better.

I love the characters, the cinematography, the sets, the feelings and the plot. All in all this is one of the best BL shows I have ever watched. And I have already rewtched it in parts and will definitivly do a full rewatch later on.

Coming of Age

This is a great series exploring coming of age. Who am I? And what is my goal in life? If you look at this as a stricktly romance series I can understand that you miss a lot of the interesting underlying plot lines. I personally love how strings and crumbs were given in episode 1 and with a red thread throughout the episodes became clear how each character had multiple hidden agendas with their actions and experiences.

The series explore self-awareness into adulthood, how ties to family changes from childhood into young adulthood and romantical connections. How past experiences are carried with us and impact our future decisions and reactions in various situations.

Personally I loved how Dunk’s acting showed parrallels in scenes from the beginning of the series to the same scenes happening at the end of the series and you can clearly see his character growth. (Zo is supposed to be an awkward character in the beginning before he grows into himself over the couse of the series. We see Joke grow and learn more about himself as a person and how to approach his friends, family and situations.

The side couple wasnt showed much, but Aou and Boom did amazing in the few scenes they were present. And gave the perfect counter-balance to Dunk and Joongs characters.

Also, we cannot deny that Joong and Dunks chemistry carried in the low plot parts of the series.

Finally, a good progressive BL

I thoroughly enjoyed this show. It had some great progressive scenes that made me immensely happy to watch. I loved how educational it was and how non-toxic it protrayed intimacy.

The characters were greatly varied, humans with flaws, but not in a way where you cannot understand them. All their growth and development was organic and gradual. It is never boring, and the comedy relievers hit the spot as they should.

Great pacing in the story. The acting could maybe need some polishing in the more emotional scenes, but overall good performance from them all both mains and sides. Their respective love stories are very believable, and they portray the love not just through words but also body language.

I will be back to rewatch, especially for Almond and Latte, because that couple captured my attention and I adore their love-story.
