It's against my M.O. to watch airing dramas (i live for the binge watch) so I started this by accident and have not for one minute been disappointed. This show cements why I can't watch airing shows, I feel so anxious waiting for the next episode!! I will update this review after the show is completed, but for now here are my takes.
I love love the plot so far! So unique! Very Romeo and Juliet-esque as far as Korn/In's story goes. I admittedly had a hard time getting into the first episode. I'm not sure if I don't like Earth as an actor, or if I don't like the roles I've seen him in (this and LBC), but I got over it ** I like Earth more now, but he's still not one of my favorite actors. His style is FABULOUS though. THE MUSIC! Wow, a lot of the music is instrumental and really gives off film score vibes which makes this feel more like a film than a tv show (I mean honestly it is SO GOOD!! I ran to download the OST). We don't deserve Boy Sompob. Big props on the production too. Very, very well made show.
Imo, aesthetically Dean/Pharm are not my favorite couple, however, both actors do an amazing job with the portrayal of their characters. Fluke really warms my heart, his Pharm is one of the all around cutest characters I've seen. It had to be stressful to cry as much as he did. I really love Fluke he's one of the more seasoned young Thai actors and one of my absolute favorites. Ohm definitely nails the brooding but deep down a sweetheart character. He really looked ready to devour Pharm at any minute. And I honestly love the secondary characters as well. WOW Win! Swoons, I love a chignon. So far I really can't find fault with anything in the show. Small caveat I don't like Alex, but that's the point. I'm a little worried about where they're going with his storyline. I sincerely hope this isn't headed for a tragic ending. I really hope the show continues on this strong note!

Update
This is the first series that I've ever rated as a 10. I expected nothing less out of the same studio that gave us LBC. I have already rewatched the series in it's entirety, as well as having rewatched multiple episodes individually. I laughed, I cried (A LOT), and my heart went "squish" lol. My heart was ready to explode from equal parts anxiety, sadness, cuteness and frustration especially during the last 2 episodes. I enjoyed the chemistry between all 3 couples and was only a little bit sad that Win/Team don't really get any screen time (there's A LOT going on with the main couple Dean/Pharm). There's a camp that felt the show was boring.... well to each their own but I was NEVER bored not for 1 second. I also don't agree that the ending was rushed, forced, or poorly done. I was/am content. Also kudos to studio Wabi Sabi for uploading their episodes with subs the day of release (As an inter fan I can't do anything but stan).

This series is as close to perfection as I've ever seen (especially coming from Thailand and especially to be a BL), but I won't pretend that it didn't have ANY issues at all. For one, I hated how often they commented on Manoaw's weight. There were some issues w/ the sound: background noise competing with the actors voices (most notably the aquarium scene and the fountain Christmas lights scene), as well as a couple scenes that were too dark. The face Ohm makes when he's disgusted w/ himself (the kitchen scene) is so crigne, yikes. If you're used to and enjoy shows with high drama and conflict, yea, this show probably comes off as boring. I was living for the sweet and seemingly uneventful events. I enjoyed the show IMMENSELY! It will be at the top of my all time favorite BL list. Run and watch it now.
