A blueprint of modern Teenage Thai drama
Every opinion aside, this became the blueprint of modern Teenage Thai drama and anything and everything you see started after Hormones became a big hit.
Even if you watch the drama a decade later it somehow completely fits the present day scenario perfectly. The plot revolved around multiple people with multiple relationship and friendship dynamics that the youth could relate too. It was daring, messy, discussed things openly which has been considered taboo. This was such a refresher. The story didn't revolve around 2 people, it revolved around stories and that made multiple possibilities of what might happened. It talked about relationships, love, teenage problems. It talked about different parental and family problems teenagers face. It shed light on multiple aspects of sexual intercourse and also a bit of sex education. Every character felt like they were real because they weren't created to cater to a certain audience with either overly saturated green flag characteristics or ever so hating red flag characteristics. Each of them made mistakes and the story took turns to give them a chance to realize the mistake and how to do better. It was an amazing character centric story where the plot was never empty.
The acting of the young cast truly showed how we must have more new faces in the industry. Most of them were newbies with little experience and they made the characters from the page alive on the screen. Hormone truly gave us the next generation of Thai actors. Everyone, even the smallest of roles did an amazing job.
The camerawork was nothing extravagant but it was realistic. It gave of the early 2010's vibe and the editing was much more ahead of it's time with the pacing and frames.
All 3 seasons of hormones are still enjoyable to this day and I believe it will remain one of the best even in the upcoming years. The viewers could connect with the characters and thus became the groundbreaking drama it is.
