A masterpiece.

I was way too old when I realized that not all cultures have some kind of initiation in college where people make you do weird things to gain that "team spirit". In Portugal we call it "praxe", in english i believe the word is - like i said - initiation. That may have helped with how accepting I was of the beginning of this series. Even though I didn't participate in mine when I was in college because I don't really agree with how it works, I ended this series wishing it was as well thought off as this one.

However, I can't tell you enough how at first I thought this would be that type of story where a bully falls for the person he's abusing. After watching big names in the BL community like Tharntype and Theory of love (with the amazing actors Off and Gun) I was scared to watch this one.
Not only because it's older but also because no review could tell me exactly what to expect. I was afraid, from the summary that it would be something way too complex and not just something fun to watch like I wanted. I was also afraid that it would be too sad since the poster is also different from other series (darker like it's a thriller or suspense series).

And now, I thank the community for not spoiling me anything.

This story was a rollercoaster. Everything is so well thought. The SOTUS acronym is pure genius.
Both characters bickering made me blush. Even the side characters are interesting!
This might be the most well written Thai BL I've ever watched.
I'd even say this one went instantly to my favorite asian drama list.
I don't want to give spoilers to anyone, but this one is a true masterpiece.
SOTUS will make you rethink every review you've ever done, every rating you've ever given. That's just how good it is.
