Simple but cute
I'm writing this review before I had watched the Japanese version. The only reason I'm watching this at the moment is because of 'ลบยัง' ost. So fucking peak bro. I love the dance aswell it's so cute and I've been seeing it everywhere. I'm not sure why it never crossed my mind to watch this series, especially as someone who has been watching since like 2018. Even if the most is peak I have to say the begin title is not my style at all and one of the most disappointing once I've seen Gmmtv have. A lot of people who saw the Japanese version say they prefer the Japanese one. I'm really excited to see the Japanese version aswell. Haven't seen the best reviews on this series, so when I started this I got really curious on why? But now I get it.
Love how the cast includes a lot of newer and less well known gmmtv actors. I really hope to see more of Chokun, Pahn, Aungpao and Papang in the future. Although I did watch some other series where they played supports in. Having a more original casting is also sooo fucking nice because it isn't like: "oh hey didn't you play in ....." every time I watch a scene. Also really good acting work, love especially fourth and Chokun.
Ok so I know this sounds weird but I love misunderstandings. It just adds some small angst to the story, but for this story, in my opinion, the angst was really weak. I loved how fluff, sweet and green flagged coded the characters were, but it also made the story weak, especially on the first part. It's just veryyyy simple not super special or anything. Just you average middle school romance.
I love how it's Idiots in love and it makes it really funny. Just two stupid losers who don't know what to do with their feelings. Lol and half and Kongthap not do a shit when it comes to confessing hahahhah, it was just Atom and Matmi that did all the work. They tried to get closer to their love interests but for Half and Kongthap there was like barely any effort. Also, I was expecting something like a love triangle but even that was gone within 2 episodes, just like the erasure and the feelings Atom had for Matmi... I have to say, I started this show for Kongthap and Atom but stayed for Half and Matmi. I normally feel more relatable to the gay couples, but the story of Half and Matmi was wayyy more interesting than the gay story.
Again, it's very mid. But, I do think this show is more for kids/younger audience. From the romance, slow burn and story. Another thing I have to mention is the expression weren't strong either. That's not the actor's fault, but the writing. They barely had very emotional or expressive realisation moments. Which made the series feel cheap. There was almost nothing shown over the fear of coming out, even though they clearly TRIED to imply it. Love the Gay teachers who helped Atom realise his feelings, because apparently he couldn't do that himself? It's nice how they tried to add them but they ended up having to fix the relationship issues, and after it was fixed like almost ZERO screen time.
Overall, the ending was veryyyy weak. Nothing special and I'm not sure if I would suggest the series. This is cute for people who are like 13-14 years old maybe. I think I would've definitely liked it more if I watched it back then. It also kinda reminds me of heartstoppers, especially with the type of romance. I wouldn't be surprised if there were some influences they got from heartstoppers, it just got the same kind of vibe yk? Another thing I disliked was the amount of advertising. Like yes, you have sponsors but seriously? Needing to add it every 3 seconds?
