I kind of liked it? It wasn't extremely special in some kind but it is a really good lakorn in it's genre. These days the theme internet gets more and more attention in movies, series and books. And this lakorn was about it. Facebook, Instagram, Line and Tinder (!) were the means to get to know each other to communicate with each other. You could see yourself in the characters.
They were ordinary stories every could relate to one of them or more and the actors did a good job, as everything seemed really natural, they were just some students who felt lonely in this society.
The music was good for those pats that I listened to them, it didn't disturb the flow or was annoying (like in some tw & k-dramas).
You should watch it if you want more GMM, youth dramas, light fluffy dramas :D

What this series was was a non-traditional (for dramas of this class) look at life as affected by social media. SM played a crucial role in each and every life in this series, as it does today. How many of us are not affected by Twitter, InstaGram, Facebook, Line, YouTube and Tinder? How many of us do not live on these media and don't even know our next door neighbour?
A little dramatic at times, the characters are totally relatable in our modern context. The fact that they are University students and a little more mature than the other dramas being based in High School was quite a plus.
Again, I must hand it to the Thai's: they have product placement down. This time the adverts, ahm I mean product placements, were not quite as annoyingly placed as other drams which shall go unmentioned, but they are still quite noticeable. Good job though!
All in all a good drama to keep you busy in the downtime between Tweets, IMs, Lines and such. Well worth the watch!

In all honesty, I picked up the series for the promise of Off Jumpol. Although I had to wait a while for his proper story, I thought it was worth it and was impressed by his acting at such an early point in his career.
All that said, I did have some complaints. For instance, I thought some of the queer representation was poor. Although her friends redeemed themselves some, Min was emotionally abused by them. The comments they make throughout Min's episode about the prospects of fluctuating or fluid sexuality were damaging not only to Min but to some viewers' perceptions of gay women. It's not to say that they don't represent some real views, but those are in the minority. And in a community so little represented, it's maligning to make that some of the so few depictions people will see.
I also thought episode nine was a little ridiculous but I could tolerate it.
