Saint-Perth-Mean-Plan Superb acting
The first few episodes were confusing for me. The story jumps from one prominent lead couple to another supporting couple. From the start finding and focusing on the story was frustrating.After 5 episodes I became aware of what exactly was happening so I started skipping other characters' scenes. except for Ae's Friend and Pete's friend. after 3-to 4 episodes when Ae's and Pete's story windup (they get together and start living life as boyfriends I skip on that) and focus on Pete's friend 'Tin'. Tin's character and his paired up started to gain my interest. Then I watched Tin and Can's character story till the end. I was disappointed when the series ended with Tin's crying. I was expecting to start season 2 but when I read a review of that. I again faced disappointment to find out they changed Tin and Can character setting and also changed Ae and Pete's character setting. so I will be skipping season 2 and I am done with this.
Let's talk about the production: They cast so many characters and university/house the whole drama setting where drama was shot and the usage of prompts wasted money. They should have focused on the main characters. 2 main couples are also acceptable but 5 couples. it was too much. The story was stuffed.
Ost was good and catchy. The story would have been more interesting if it was only focused on "Ae and Pete" and "Tin and Can".
You can just watch it for fun and don't mind with story. just enjoy beautiful characters and their acting.

Production Fault, Gu Hai and Yin Zi characters were performed well
This Drama Series Story had lots of potential to grow But the scriptwriter and director messed it up. There were lots of loopholes, and all the situations/scenes with supporting roles were left open. lots of the time you will be waiting for what will happen next but they totally cut down the scene from the last episode and just turn the story on the main character. character development was not enough. it felt like the main characters turned from classmates to good friends who live together. There was the potential of chemistry BUT dialogues between them were too general like close friends talking. Till the end, I was expecting to something happen but nothing happened, Simply put just too general.This is not the fault of the actors but only the production's fault.
In Japanese setting dramas, they highlight the features of adults (teachers/parents' authority & strictness and feel proud in it but if you compare with Thai setting dramas they mainly focus on the main characters and the close relationship of the main characters, remaining actors, and situation become backdrops. which helps the audience to focus more on the story, production, and other things)

This Move is to see different side of our normal society
There was no plot JUST Showing the minority part of our society. Not everyone is perfect, Not everyone lives according to social norms, and Not everyone's love is the normal love we see in movies and dramas. This movie showed the story of those people who exist in our society but our society ignores them.I wanted the main characters to be more crazy. I see love but not the crazy passion of obsession of love for each other. which I was looking for. On crazy people's standards, this was so general and average character behavior.
The script writer did a great job of making the story as acceptable kind for normal society as a writer could.
Watch this move from a new perspective. This move is not for normal people who follow social norms.

Mark <3
OST was great with awesome lyrics. The drama set and complete production with actors were all good (looking wise also acting-wise). The main characters VEE and MARK acting was superb. I loved MARK acting a lot.The story to me seems a little toxic. VEE character till the end doesn't realize how wrong he was and keeps hanging MARK giving him signals while not making things clear with Plong.
This story was reality-based. MARK character in real life has to endure and be more forgiven. If he is not he will face society criticism for being narrow-minded. VEE character in real life can be easily forgiven because of his stupidity and indecisiveness.
I like they showed the positive culture of an engineering department, all the orientation events, and the gear ceremony. In most cases, Drama shows seniors as "a bully" and "Bossy". This drama showed that college culture is in a positive light with most of the brotherhood.
The scriptwriter did an amazing job.
The director, producers, camera, lighting, and sound technical work was done beautifully.
All characters left an amazing impression even the side characters.

Different Intimacy, Not for those Who follow social norm Romance
This Series has 2 impressions, If you read both one after another then you will know what really happening in this Drama series otherwise you will miss out on a lot.First impression: Directors/producers should have checked the competitors before choosing the main characters. The main characters acting was OK but they were not meant for this series. Kim was cry baby and Kamol was a stiff face. other side characters were forgetful. All casts were not selected carefully. This is not an acting issue. It is a scriptwriter, producer, and directing issue.
This was my first impression of this drama after watching the first 2 episodes.
Second impression: This drama is for those who want to see 'not out of culture norms' romance/intimacy between main characters. The chemistry starts building between the main characters after episode 3. Kamol's character was sure what he wanted and Kim from the start wasn't sure about his feelings Kim's character realized it in the last 3 episodes. After episode number 3 all actors seemed more relaxed, in character and this made the character more alive. The intimacy part of this drama might not be acceptable for everyone even for those who accept the BL series because it is still against cultural norms and not that common. But this drama writer showed a different side of partner intimacy to society, like spreading light on what was hidden in society and we avoid talking about it.
Main side characters: 'Baiboon', This character was there to play the role of their baby and supporting character role 'KOM'. Kom's character had few more expressions and more time on screen due to 'Baiboon'. 'Cherry' character was only present for advertisements (vitamin advertisements). Maybe investors were really happy with this character. Kit, Lop, and Ruj's characters were like we had enough of dog food (seeing lovers together and doing this this this, just let's be together all together). Danai's character had only one motive 'to die'.
All together story is engaging with all characters' support. The acting of all the actors was better after 3rd episode. This drama series has different tastes. watch it with an open mind. Don't just focus on couple romance. enjoy character development and Art.

Deep Lesson In This
First, The story and the script/dialogues are the main reasons I continue watching this.2nd: The drama set was shot on limited ground with limited people. it was also OK for me. for me who likes minimalist style. The drama set and limited actors were comfortable to the eye and I was focusing on the story more.
3rd: Actor: Pond Ponlawit Ketprapakorn needs to work on his acting more but the story was interesting to me so the acting was also ok.
The story showed the real truth of our society. This kind of toxic parent behavior is common in every culture. Parents forget they are also human and their decision can be wrong. Children are also human, parents should present the reasons in front of them and work on common ground to find a solution.
Society made a norm: school > college/university > work > married > children > die. if we all try to go against this norm. it becomes a 'problem'.
Some children sacrifice their happiness for their parent's temporary satisfaction and endure the pain and hurt. which became the trauma of a lifetime. some fight back, follow their heart, and become taboo of their society and an ungrateful beings.
our society needs this kind of story to know the other face of our society not everything is a rainbow in real life.

Win and Team Performed Well
The drama story was catchy, the same old university setting. There were lots of supporting characters. All the characters were beautiful and handsome (if you want to watch handsome men and their handsome bodies, this series is for you) it was sometimes annoying because I watched the drama as Art (I watch everything from production, acting, editing, song, story and everything as Art). Handsome characters were distracting and kept me not focusing on the story. maybe which was what the director was looking for.The Drama has everything a typical Thai university has but more scenes were based on the swimming club, dorm rooms, and Bar. All the friends get to gather and friends fun. With all of this fun, you will be totally about the story. The story wasn't much though. "Just spending life in university and finding love".
There were forced edit scenes of Dean and Pharm which were not needed at all and also distracting, making me think about the 'Until We Meet Again' series.
The drama Edits gives each supporting role so much screen time that it made every effort to make this drama general university life and not focus on the story. Even though the Win and Team story had lots of potential.
This drama pool side and water scene were shots early and all other scenes were shot in winter. Win had different hair colors. This showed that this drama didn't receive careful consideration from technical staff as compared to Dean and Pharm's series "Until We Meet Again".
With lots of Loopholes, This is a fun drama to watch with friends together on vacation or on weekends.
This drama has a good life lesson, that the writer might wanted teens and youth to know. Childhood trauma stays with us for a long time until we face it but we, alone are not strong enough to face it. we need our loved ones to stand with us to face it and heal our heart with their love and care. The second lesson was spreading awareness even though this culture has accepted different forms of relationships, the criticism still exists. They don't leave any chance to let you know how much they hate this with their harsh comments. This is our duty to not respond to it and to focus on our loved ones.
