better than expected

Knowing this was made on the cheap, so to speak, I was a bit hesitant about watching it. Not because I have anything against low production values, in of themselves, but because low budget can oftentimes mean bad acting. Which i something I find harder and harder to watch as I get more educated as to what good acting is supposed to look like.

Ko, an online singing star, has been in love with Teng for years. He knows it's futile, but he can't help but hope. His friends tell him about a holy man in the woods who can make a 'love poison' to change Teng's heart. He goes off and gets it, with some shenanigans involving ghosts, and then joins the soccer team so he can get close enough to Teng to get him to drink it.

Teng, in the meantime, is interested in Nuan and when Ko asks for his help to get better at soccer, Teng asks for Ko's help with singing so he can woo Nuan. Nuan and Teng start dating.

Ko is devastated, and gets drunk with his friends. They call Teng to have him take Ko home and Teng and Ko have sex.

Drunk sex is a thing in this series, because the side couple, Tak and Ko's brother Sek, end up doing the same thing.

Ko tells Teng they should just forget it ever happened and then starts dating Tak.

The rest of the plot is pretty predictable and there's a happy ending all round.

This series has no awkward product placements, no over-the-top sound effects and no disapproving parents. Ko and Sek's father accepts both their relationships and is a sweet and caring man.

The scenery is beautiful, too, because this set in the country and there isn't a university or an engineering student for miles.

The soundtrack is great, the acting is pretty good, the writing is surprisingly sharp at times and this is overall a good series. It's only eight episodes, too, so you can watch it in less than a day.

Overall, I enjoyed this and I think it's worth a watch.
