I really support the message of the story and what was trying to be portrayed to the audience indirectly. The drama was very motivating, especially to those who feel insecure about themselves. This is one of the reasons I really liked the drama. I actually learnt a few things from this drama so I definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone.
*thorough*
STORY : The story had a touch of cliche feelings, but it was also unexpected because the fact that everything was being played out was in a way I hadn't seen before. Sun and In were a bit obvious though... but I didn't mind because I liked the pair anyways. I wasn't very favorable of Oh and Peach's ship from the beginning even though I knew they were the main ship. I've just watched way too many BL's, so I shipped Oh with Pong majority, if not all, of the time. The pacing would seem a little slow while watching the drama, but once you've watched the whole thing you may realize every scene was worth the time and wait. At least, I felt that way.
ACTING/CAST : Oh's character being so complex and compound was actually played quite beautifully. I wasn't expecting his character to be so deep with a backstory. Most would brush this off, thinking nothing much of it but this remained in my memory. Usually, the audience would just talk about Oh's feelings he portrays physically/verbally, but the fact he had to deal with so much and come out of his shell must've been so difficult for him. I say this hypothetically, but honestly that was the most beautiful part about this whole drama so this will be at the top of my list for a while. The other actors also did well, but Oh stuck to me.
MUSIC : I didn't really like the songs in MDL Edge of 17... They're not the type of songs I listen to, anyways. But they did set the mood and managed to make me empathize with the story and the actors so...
REWATCH VALUE : I'm not sure whether I'd rewatch this but because it's such a good drama I'll leave the rewatch value a little high. This isn't the sort of drama you can finish off in a day, but it's nice to watch an episode or two a day, unless you become addicted like me and end up watching like half the drama within a day...
*p.s.*
I would definitely recommend this to a friend, whether an old Thai drama enthusiast or a new one. I don't usually watch straight Thai dramas because I can no longer watch straight dramas normally... but this one proved otherwise. If it's really good, I would watch it.
*recommendations*
'Together With Me' is similar in the way, it has straight and BL couples, but it does focus on BL. Unfortunately I don't watch straight dramas, so this is the only one I can think of to recommend.
