Best Thai drama I've seen. Happy ending.

Realism and Representation: no stereotypes, caricatures, heteronormativity, or demonized female characters. Thun is gay and he talked about how excluded he feels when his guy friends talk about girls. He struggled to accept himself. He had an emotional coming out scene with his mom, which was well acted. Everyone else is accepting, which is cool.

Story: it's not uncommon to have dramas about straight romances across the living and dead realms but there aren't many supernatural BL dramas. This is a supernatural university romance, and based on traditional death culture at that, which is something I've never seen before. It's honestly very creative and interesting. Even if it doesn't have gay romance I'd watch it and I recommend everyone to do the same. It's also interesting for me to see how similar Thai culture is about death compared to my own culture (Hong Kong) and it turns out it's EXACTLY the same, even the part about carrying the incense to transport the spirit and praying to the earth god to let the spirit stay. Anyway, even though the beginning is a little slow, I'm truely impressed with the story, which is not something I say lightly. It's a solid 10/10, the best Thai drama I'm seen, not kidding. Great twist and foreshadowing, great coming out scenes, sweet romance scenes, fascinating mysteries, AND a happy ending?... It's got it all. I thought the only way for this to end was for it to be bittersweet but I'm glad the writers decided against that. There are some beats where the pacing is a bit slow but in the grand scheme of things, it's pretty negligible.

Characters: the leads make a cute couple. Even though they might argue, Thun's friends care deeply about him. Thun's mom is accepting. Plai is also a great character.

Acting: pretty decent. Although there is some awkwardness, the important emotional scenes are very much on point. Kudos to the young actors!
