Timeless and amazing

One of the only BLs that has two mature adults who are just navigating through life together. No unoriginal plot like an ex reappearing, misunderstandings or some shit. Actors had GREAT chemistry, the writing is impressive and I like how they try to avoid the annoying tropes like defining top/bottom and the whole “calling the bottom a wife “ thing. It is by far one of the best BLs out there and I recommend it to anyone who likes emotionally mature relationship with communication and understanding from both parties.
Their first kiss was PHENOMENAL because of the acting and how authentic and real it felt, I was glued to my chair and cried like a baby (I’m an adult, says a lot). The story is decently developed and the characters do develop as people and they evolve as a couple but also INDIVIDUALLY which I felt was very very important

Unwatchable for people over the age of 13

I remember hearing about the series when I was younger and it was fairly hyped so I, as an adult, decided to give it a go, mainly because I’ve been getting into watching BL series.
SOTUS has been by far one of the worst series I have ever had the displeasure to watch, so much so that I couldn’t finish it for a long time (I forced myself to in order to give it the benefit of the doubt until the end)

#1 Acting

Was decent at times, but mostly amateurish, I blame it on the lack of chemistry between the leads and the overall exaggerated situations, which is the biggest flaw of the show

#2 Story

Horrible. I understand exaggerating an aspect of reality in a series or a movie, that is normal, but the lengths that the writers go to make Arthit the most unlikable character in history while simultaneously putting all the characters in ridiculous situations that could never happen in real life is insane to me. It’s not about not being realistic, it’s UNBELIEVABLE, the hazing scenes are insane and the fact that there are little to no consequences for the horrible things the older students do baffles me. No redemption arc was good enough for that piece of shit.

#3 Main leads
I felt that they were bros but there was little to no romantic energy, their kiss was laughable (to be fair at that time all bl kisses were shit, but most of them had somewhat of a chemistry). Arthit became unbearable to watch and he acted like a 12yr old girl most of the series, I just felt like no adult would act in such weird, cringe and horrible way. It was unrealistic and hard to watch, had to skip a good part of the show because of that


#4 It was good for its time
I understand why it was a hit back in the day, people really didn’t have much content to choose from in the bl world so it made sense. However, if you compare it so bad buddy, I told sunset about you, A tale of a 1000 stars or any of these very good BLs, it would be impossible to point out any positive traits of this series. It’s just not good.

SUMMARY: Don’t watch it if u want to watch something actually good, only for nostalgic purposes

good potential, bad execution

The story, even though cheesy, had good potential, the charecters were charming and had a decent chermistry, but because of how fast the plot flies, there is no time to get emotionally invested. I didn´t feel happy or sad for the characters, i felt nothing, If this was a (at least) 5 eps with one hour each, this could have been amazing. So many plot holes, things left unadressd, and at this point I think it´s a lack of budget and not just lazy writing. Had this been a long and well elaborated series with the same plot, but just more deeply explored,, it would have been AMAZING. Wasted potential tbh
