Amateur schoolplay with (literally) kids who cannot act

Yeah, blue shorts might be back, but seriously don't expect another 'Hormones':-//

Actually they wore black shorts most of the time, but that's not the main problem:) Watching this doesn't really feel like you're watching proper series/drama. Someone took the trouble to make opening/insert credits that look professional, with big letters all across the screen so you won't miss all the stupid english "nicknames" for each brat (could live without it... they're thai, what's wrong with having a thai name?) and then they all stand like parrots and repeat the name of this "show" sponsor. Problems start when each actual episode begins.

Basically the child actors who cannot act portray the characters of musicans who cannot play (kinda fits) so they arrive in a small rural place where another group of kids awaits them to try and make them better (well, they could not possibly make them any worse), plus of course they will form couples (almost everyone is gay), though they are age when they probably still play with toys.

As for the "skinship", there was not really a kiss scene in this one for obvious reasons and if there was, then I was not sure whether I should report this, LOL. As for the script, they tried to touch some more serious problems towards the end but I'd prefer if they didn't. They originally have intended to improve their music, but I don't know where did that go.

Seriously, it's cute. There hardly is anything to be called "cinematography", it's all backgrounded with ever-repetitive bits of music, actually instrumental parts of the few songs they got permission (else god knows what we'd listen to), but I'm far from criticizing. It's watching cute kids:) Wanna watch cute kids for couple minutes? Didn't harm me, won't harm you. So if yes, watch it. Simple as dimple:)
