Girl likes boy; boy doesn’t like girl back; girl tries (with the help of her friends) to woo boy; boy still not interested; girl losses interest and stops pursuing boy; boy misses her and begins to like girl. It’s not an too unfamiliar a storyline and unfortunately this version is nothing special and brings little in the way of storytelling or great acting to the Teen RomCom genre. Set in the same school and even classrooms as the Hormones 1,, 2, and 3 series, it’s hard not too make comparisons (fairly or unfairly) between the two series. Frankly, Hormones just does a better job with the similar storyline. The storyline in Hormones has more depth, the acting is better and it has a more believable plot. Beyond Hormones there are just so many better Thai series out there that do the Teen RomCom genre better.
Speaking of Hormones, Belle - the lead character in this series - is played by Kanaywee Songmuang who has a major role in Hormones 2 and 3. In this series she’s passable but not entirely convincing as a head over heals infatuated girl. I think Songmuang is better in roles where she plays a strong but yet vulnerable character much like she does in Hormones, Kiss Me Again, and Project S - Shoot Me. In this series her best scenes are those where she’s standing up for herself from an infatuated ex played by White Phumphothingam of LoveSick Series fame.
Korapet Kirdpan is ok at best in his role as S, the male lead in the series. His acting isn’t entirely convincing either. He’s basically indifferent the whole time which makes his switch from not liking to liking her a bit more difficult to believe. You never get the feeling that he cares nor gets mad or even understands what’s going on. And no, it’s not intentional more like green acting. He does a much better acting job in a similar role in My Dear Loser Series: Edge of 17 and thankfully has seriously matured with his recent role in The Gifted series. The rest of the actors are fair playing their roles. Most portray their roles stiffly, including White. It would be funny if it didn’t come of as young actors learning the ropes.
Story - This story has been told many times and there are better out there in the same genre.
Acting - Eh... good potential but only ok at best.
Music - Appropriate but not something you’d remember
Rewatch - unless you really like these actors that much or you’re looking for a fluffy series it’s not worth the time
Overall - There are better series out there.
