Is this a perfect series? No. But it doesn’t mean it’s not an amazing drama.
This series is just like the relationship it’s talking about, it’s not ideal, it has its weak points but it has many strengths that overtake this tiny imperfections.
Now let me talk in detail what can Sotus S offer you.
-Acting - Singto and Krist didn’t surprise us much... they’re just so talented! Amazing actors! We couldn’t expect less, we actually got more! Krist really became Arthit, awkward, easily embarrassed young adult that pose to be strong and cool but actually is soft and lovely boy that is more than happy receiving all the love and attention from Kong. This slight smiles, this emotions that he tries to hide.... so adorable. He changes along the way, he grows up to be more sensible, stronger and wiser. But it takes him time.
Singto. Let me tell you he is one of the most talented actors I’ve ever seen. I don’t know how to contain all my compliments as not to overwrite. He has so many faces in this series: he’s a head hazer, a student, a senior, a friend, an intern and last but not the least a lover. Every single of this positions makes him show us differed side of his. His performance is superb, I can’t skip his crying scene... he’ll break your heart... prepare yourself, his emotion will hit you haaaaard!
-Production - pretty noticeable they’ve got more sponsoring. Better outfits, nice locations you can easily spot how different season 2 is from season 1. Everything is on bigger scale but it’s not overwhelming. I very much enjoyed to see more and better clothes on Krist&Singto ?. Watching Sotus I really wanted to buy another pants for Arthit... seeing him all this time in this baggy jeans I wanted to kill the stylist, but I understood that money are needed to have many outfits and they had many actors to take care of.
-Story - why is Sotus S (following Sotus) so different from other series? There if a few things to point out here. First off all what I love in both of this series is that we do not have this major misunderstandings. Problems and misconceptions happens but they’re fixed pretty fast. What we get to learn from this drama is that good communication is the most important thing in a relationship (not necessary in a romantic relationship but in any type), that sometimes we need to reach to people ourselves and not just wait, this way we’ll be able to fix many things.
We meet a few problems along the way and this problems will able Kong&Arthit to deepen their relationship, to understand their problems, pains and needs this way they’ll be able to grow up as people and as lovers.
Kong&Arthit’s relationship is not open to us viewers, we just see the top of the iceberg , they don’t let us to eavesdrop and peep on them too much, they are very privet. Sometimes I was like “please can we have more? Maybe another hug or at last can you hold hands?", from time to time I was hoping for Kong to be more than just being flirty and taken some actions... but after some thought I realized that it wouldn't fit the story, that it would be awkward. This rare moments of intimacy between them were just more precious because they were so spare. But they couldn’t be more perfect than this as they were just so heartwarming.
We do have some side couples but they don’t gat too much of a screen time and I must admit that I really liked it that way. We do get to see them and witness their stories, understand their characters but they don’t overtake the place of the main couple. This way we had enough time to develop the story of Kong&Arthit.
- Soundtrack- not much to say but we have two pieces sang by Krist and Singto ?.... really nice!!!
There are some things that I would like to see in this series and I find them missing but this doesn’t make this series worse, it’s still very very satisfying!
Personally I would love to see more of Kong&Arthit relationship with other people and their families.
This series talks about many important issues. How to communicate and understand other people. How to be more sensitive to needs and feelings of another. How to make the best out of your time when you still have it as working life and student life is very different. How to cherish our friends and people we love and how to care for them. How to face problems, take responsibilities and be brave.
Maybe it’s not a series for every person, but if you’ll have an open heart and open eyes&ears you’ll gain a lot from this experience.
I’ll definitely rewatch.
(Ps it took me half a year to be ready to watch second season as I was worrying I will be disappointed because first season was so good. I’ve read some comments and heard some informations about the "misunderstandings" and was so stressed... I shouldn’t have...)
