Story.
The first 8 episodes had me in my feelings for both Tine and Sarawat and some of the other characters too. The series started off so great and had great potential to be even more great but the last 3 episodes ruined it for me even though they started to go downhill before that.
Jealousy?? Even though Tine and Sarawat were officially dating at this point they had begun falling for each other, or should I say Tine was falling for Sarawat. We saw the whole jealousy scene with Earn and Sarawat, So for the writers to use Pam as a plot device to make Tine jealous was just lazy and irrelevant for me because we had already seen that with Earn and Sarawat.
I don't know what happened along the way with some characters, this minute they are apart of the series and other time they completely vanish, this happened sometimes with both Tine and Sarawat's friends they only seems to be used only when needed and I wish the producer and director had used them better, I was happy to see that Tines friends were there for him when he needed them, especially Frong and same for Man and Sarawat.
Green ~ I really appreciated Green's character because as a bl fan, we don't ever get good femmie gay representation so it was refreshing to see his character, but that's about it. His character had its flaws from being stalker-ish to being just used as a tool by the writers to help Tine and Sarawat get together, silly but I guess it worked well for the first couple of episodes.
Communication ~ The communication in general is very inconsistent between the two main leads, they seem to have communicated better when they were faking their relationship, but once they became a couple the communication between the two just became non-existent. I'm not sure how the filming went prior to the release of the series airing but the main leads look slightly uncomfortable in the last few episodes compared to the earlier episodes and I found it really awkward to watch, and to even sit through that crappy end.
Oh my gosh, again where do I even start with the writers??? Sarawat character was first introduced as a confident guy who says what he feels and goes after the one he loves and will also protect that person he cares about. We see this multiple times throughout the series where he confesses to Tine, etc., yet the writers still manager to ruin his character in the end and sadly, they did the same to Tine character as well. The writer of this series is just sloppy.
Acting
In terms of acting all the actors played their roles well but I must admit I wasn't expecting much from the acting I was more interested in the story which was a huge let down. Metawin proves that he's really a hidden gem, I was very impressed by his acting after watching him, it's hard to believe that this was his first series. Bright a brilliant actor as well, don't get me wrong but I wish he had shown some more emotions in his face in this series.
Music
I loved the OSTs for this series a lot more than I thought I would have and that's a great thing, I never skipped the into or the outro of the series ever. The music again seems to have played a major role in the entire story, from being to end seeing that couple meet at a Scubbs concert and main characters favorite band is the Scrubbs, etc.
Overall, this isn't a terrible series at all but watching while it was being aired and having to wait every week for a new episode the ending came as a disappointment seeing that it had shown so much potential in the beginning. It feels a little bit more like a betrayal to fans honestly. I am not one for overally excessive sexy scenes or a lot of intamacy in bl but Tine and Sarawat should have just stayed fake dating because after they became official the two felt more like they've been in a relationship long enough and is just sticking around without any real love (if you know what I mean), sorry to say but in the last few episode I was slightly rooting for Mil his character seem to have been a better pick for Tine.
