Found family, even if it's simple.
I didn't really know what to expect when I chose to watch this series. It was quite late and I was tired aswell. So tired that even though I do not struggle at all with facial recognition, I was so confused who was who in the first episode, however I might've been just sleepy. So yeah, I fell asleep and rewatched the first episode. The first time I watched the first episode I was so tired I didn't really know who would go with who and just a mess in my head hahahaha.
Now, over to the plot. I've mentioned before in other reviews but kinda I''m done with the engineering school plot, but this is probably considered an 'older' bl so I'm not surprised it's part of the plot. Even if I'm super done with the whole engineering plot around 2020-2022 they were VERY creative with the whole dorm selection thing. I love how each one of them had different type of 'person'. It was a bit confusing which dorm was which since like there were like 6 dorms. The most important once are of course:Dorm 2: Athletes/Strength (Songkhram is the head) and Dorm 3: 'Charm' or 'Goodlooking' guys (Ai is the head). To be honest remembering the other like 4 dorms isn't that important and I just wish it was WAYYY more clear what the other dorms are.
So here is a small note on the tropes, in my opinion this is not really enemies to lovers. They kinda make up and they just have a bickering relationship. Aside from that the whole 'love triangle' also failed. It was just kinda clear who was gonna end up with who between Meen, Songkhram and Ai. It was confusing aswell and it just didn't add nicely to the plot in my opinion
Another small point for me is that it doesn't have the best introductions of the characters, and this disappoints me. Because I was soo confused around episode 5. I kinda figured myself which character had what role. Ai and Songkhram were pretty clear but Pipe and Meen for example. However, extremely well done slow burn, super impressed. It's like not tooo long of a wait and not tooo short of a wait. so adorable.
This is something that doesn't make my rating lower at all, but sadly the translations were SUPER off on the site I watched it. Even Ai's name was once like a whole weird sentence. I'm so happy my Thai Isn't super bad but if you struggle understand I do suggest looking for the good translations and not just auto translate.
I care about music quite a lot and it would be amazing if it had a bit more sound over the simple sounds they've used, this is a personal opinion again and I will leave this out of my rating but just a small thing I noticed while watching.
Not the dorm leaders letting all the juniors get drunk like that just to check something HELPPPP
I had to laugh so hard as a German person when they put on 'German', IDK what language that was but definitely not German? It sounded like a scanda language.
Ok I'm being super negative about this show while it wasn't even super bad, it just felt repetitive to other engineering high school drama's. I do have to say the whole series was insanely creative and I'm super impressed by the whole styling since they did it slightly different than other 'highschool' series. Also, the acting was INSANE, which for the plot is incredible. \
To be very honest even if I think there's a lot of downsides here aswell, I might've found comfort in this series. It's extremely found family I just love the whole community in the series. I definitely recommend this series!
