It... Has a plot... (If you squint really hard)
I will have to say I AM GOING TO WATCH THIS SERIES TILL THE END BECAUSE IT JUST STARTED TO GET GOOD.
I started watching because of Bed friend and that Yim and Tutor will be the main couple. Was really excited too. But GOOD LORD does the director not know how comedy works. I think the screenwriters who wrote it did not intend this much over the top acting and the actors probably really tried their best to fulfill the vision of the director. (Seriously, Yim and Tutor have better acting roles in 6 min shorts and have been successful characters is other dramas ie Cutiepie. Even in Bedfriend Jade was a better character).
The 1st episode was so painful and I had to physically hit the wall with how over the top Jade was. But pretty sure the director figured what he was doing wrong cuz in the 2nd episode onwards, Jade seemed to have toned it down a bit though not much.
Mai is a good character as in he's the calm to Jade's chaotic nature and I think they worked well to an extent. But perhaps we need a bit of a balance where Jade needs to match Mai's energy since Mai seems to be able to catch up to Jade more times than not.
For Uea and King, I have no notes. They are perfect. They are the definition of a healthy relationship and act like it. And after what happened in Bedfriend, this was a suitable outcome. Not to mention how they both are more than happy to wing man Jade (seeing as they have been good friends in a long time.) We support friends supporting friends.
Tong and Gus are good too. I liked seeing how Gus was trying hard to win Tongs affection and Tong wasn't reciprocating but when faced with Gus ignoring him, (What's this? the consequences of my actions?) Having Tong chase after Gus was entertaining and brings an homage to the previous series (Bedfriend).
Once you get to episode 5, The heavier, more relatable stuff kicks in and it's actually starting to be good. (At least compared to the almost derailing of the comedy scenes were.)
Khun Cheewin Thanamin Wongskulphat, if you are reading this: (Press X to Doubt) before you start the comedy, please try to make the MC relate to viewer first. Or at least let them sympathize with MC before you throw in the fact that they're bat shit crazy. But you a have very good eye for support characters, so A for effort on that part.
Or you know, you can just stick to sexual tension and heavier themed based drames. You seemed to have more success in those areas.
Also: If you are going to make a driving scene in the day, PLEASE DON'T MAKE IT LOOK TOO OBVIOUS THAT THE CHARACTERS ARE IN A STATIONARY CAR. SOUND EFFECTS CAN'T SAVE BAD CAMERA ANGLES AND EDITING!
EDIT: I am convinced that this director is only well versed in sexy time scene cuz.... Well when you get to episode 7 & 8 you'll get it...
