A serious (with funny bits) series in the growing genre of BL projects from Thailand. At first I thought 'here we go again', another lot of gorgeous mixed up Thai guys searching for their sexual identities and making us wait forever for a first kiss. But no; this very quickly turned into compulsive viewing helped no end by the excellent acting skills of a professional cast well seasoned in such dramas. Gun Atthaphan (Third) and Off Jumpol (Khai) have worked together before and it showed; but here they were joined by other good actors which raised the quality.
SPOILER ALERT...! After the acting, I was impressed by the unusual storyline where each episode was referenced to a famous romantic movie - "Flipped", "Stupid Crazy Love" and so on. That Khai and Third ended up very much a couple at the end despite some appalling behaviour by the former was a testament to romantic love, not at its purest but at its most intense which made each episode good viewing.
For once in such a series the side plots were also given plenty of time to develop and added to the overall satisfaction factor. And the music - brooding and melancholic - was superb.
Overall then 8 to 9 is fair for this and re watchability is high too, especially episodes 6 to 11 with 6 the standout. Highly recommended.
