I felt this series started off positively. There's good writing and acting, and the bonds of friendship, teamwork, and roommates were the strong points. This series is also proof that the final episode could almost ruin the 11 episodes that came before it.

I appreciated that the normal looking guy won the heart of the ML over the hot, charismatic guy. On paper, Saint was the likely choice because due to my own bias, I place more emphasis on history, than I do other attributes. In other words, Mon has a long-standing, close friendship with Saint until internal jealousy and envy got in the way. They had a very trusting friendship, and great chemistry together, but Saint missed his opportunity, probably due to insecurity and immaturity that we feel in high school.

I really did not like the final episode. I don't like when as a viewer I feel jerked around. Mon and So go through this drama, admit mutual feelings, then So leaves for school. The final narration makes it seem like they drifted apart, then after the end credits, it makes it look like So came back to Thailand to be with Mon. Yet, it could have been symbolic.

I also didn't like that the ending showed the kind and sensitive Pond as a player, just because Amy ended up falling for the coach.

I fast forwarded through most of the basketball scenes, so there's that.

I recommend episodes 1-11, but skip episode 12, it brings down the whole series.
