Classifying this as a "light" series is even an exaggeration.

Okay. I know a lot of people come to watch this series because of the visuals of the main actors. Even that's not enough to save the storyline's progression.

It started strongly and so promising with the fact that the dynamics involved in many characters. Tine wanted to avoid a boy who had a crush on him by seeking out a fake boyfriend. It went well and made the viewers jump of fluff and cuteness. As Tine slowly started to develop feelings for his fake boyfriend, the promising storyline and heightened tension between them started to fade too.

When Tine and Sarawat officially went out, they lacked many features of a new in love couple. Taking things too far as to move in together didn't help either. They didn't show any affections at all, which itself wasn't a problem if the story was executed perfectly. They didn't communicate well with one another and to their family and friends. Tine also had a big trust issue for Sarawat as if he got heartbroken many times because of him. They didn't have a healthy relationship and giving a bad example of how jealousy and childish behavior could be normalized without having a resolution.

All things considered, there were many things that I'd like to address as to why this series was overwhelmingly overrated:
1. Introducing a girl for a "destroyer" in their relationship in the last few episodes was a major disaster because it gave a rushed storyline with no appropriate closure.
2. Another character, Mil, who was supposed to like Tine also, was given a badly written villain edit with no chance of redemption. Even when he was being chased by Phukong, their story was as messy as it could get because they ended up with yet another rushed storyline.
3. Many side characters are just that, side and were not given any adequate character developments. They were there just to be a filler and not adding anything useful to the main plot.
4. The musical theme helped to alleviate this catastrophe a bit, but still the music could do so much to just be another filler.

In conclusion, this is not a good series with a proper representation of a gay relationship, or any relationships for that matter. Watching this as an enjoyment is a big turn off because the story just doesn't add up and can be frustrating to watch, and not in a good way. Overall, if you just want to watch their beautiful faces well, this series is a good way to go.
