The series is chef's kiss just because of the CAST!!!!!!

This series started off mysterious and intriguing just bcuz of the curse, the system of ruling in school and something behind Dika's self- death. First of all, the cast is just superb especially the two leads. Honestly idk what to expect from FirstKhao but, damn, their chemistry is just oozing with sweetness and obviously better than PoddKhao. The cast is really the only one that stands out when it comes to this series.

When it comes to the plot, it progressively became weak and somewhat pointless. I was really hoping a strong plot execution knowing this is a mystery drama series so I really expected something stronger but I don't really have that much problem, it just fell short. The plot twist of Dika and Chadok's hidden relationship shocked me but other than that, it could have been better. It's also good that the series also linger around homosexuality and mental health awareness which are both stigmatized til now.

The curse did not really add up to anything bcuz it's not an accident or something supernatural it's obviously made to make protesters afraid. I love how First portrayed his character. Firm yet insecure prefect leader who suffers from the pressure of doing something shady just to keep up with his position and Ayan a vengeful, mysterious and seemingly rebellious person who wants to investigate whose behind his uncle's death. It also revealed Ayan as soft and transparent as well. I thought their characters were fleshed out more than the actual plot of the series.

I also felt strange of student and teacher love, not bcuz it's straight no offense. I mean, it's just weird that idk what to say about that. I'm not hating it it's just weird.
I also found that there is a perhaps weak enemy here, the principal. She's the driving force of it all but she's that, nothing more.

I can safely say that they tone down some tension at some point. For example, Thuapu's stepdad came off first as arrogant then became open about Thaphu's sexuality and put much into the ruling system of the school. In the end, I could say "all's well it ends well". It's just rainbows and unicorns everywhere in the end. Unproblematic (at least the last minutes of the finale. I think it's not outstanding but still good and kinda unique.
