Not Great, But Not Bad Either.

Where to start?

Short Summary: We have a typical college playboy, Jin who is presumptuously straight as we open the show with him being dumped by his gf Aim, fall in love with Bbomb, a boy from another faculty. Bbomb pursues Jin who eventually succumbs to his charms, and eventually accepts Bbomb. The two get together, have some turbulence, and we find out that Bbomb has always liked Jin--since freshman year. Aim ended up dated Jin, and felt guilty that she took her cousin (Bbomb's) love interest away and decides to have both friend groups work together in secret to help Jin fall in love with Bbomb.

Overall, the plot is quite mediocre and the acting sometimes is also mediocre. Sometimes, it seems like Bbomb couldn't remember his lines and they did several cuts and back and forth to make it feel less obvious. I think these two actors may be novices which is fine, but it reminded me a lot of Lovesick, where you could see that the actors were still learning how to act. Sometimes, I wasn't convinced about what they were talking about.

Some characters seemed quite random and really served no reason to be in the drama except to pair up with someone at the end?

Keam's character was the most bizarre because he seemed to be into Bbomb, then he had a gf, he seemed to be into Jin, and then he was into Ball? It was like, who is he into?

Song drugging Bbomb in one of the episodes was weird, especially how only one person in that group was upset by their actions, and everyone else was okay with it.

Bbomb forcing a kiss onto Jin was also weird to watch. What was even weirder was that after that kiss, Jin falls in love?

The ending was quite vague too. It tried to tie loose ends by giving everyone a significant other to pair off with. Which again was with each other. Is this like, a Thai drama's version of Gossip Girl? Where every character dates each other?

Finally, I didn't understand why both group of friends would agree to try to change Jin, who right when the drama began presented as straight and had never dated a man, suddenly force him to fall in love with Bbomb. Like, how would they know that Jin would be bisexual, or might be open to the idea of falling for a man when he never showed interest in men to begin with?
