The first 2 eps are like 90% introducing the characters (there are srsly like 26 characters) and their dynamics together. I slowly discovered that most of the side characters don't matter that much and I never really cared about their stories (though I never felt bored or annoyed OTP wasn't getting that screen time), but I did spend the whole first 2 episodes just pausing on someone's face and going 'wait, who is this?'

It did a very good job of getting that authentic high school feel. Many shows set in school kinda feel like a caricature of a real school, but this feels really believable.

Once I learned the main characters, and got used to the horror of white socks/black shoes and just how much thigh you see when the boys sit down in those tiny blue shorts, I really, really loved it. ALL the feels. Minimal angst, and what's there seemed mild (though maybe that's just compared to TharnType which I had recently finished) the acting of the main couple was very good and had a subtlety and intimacy that I look for in an emotional show. Yes there is some awkwardness, but that is part of being a teen and discovering who you are and it did not feel out of place here.

The production value is kinda all over the place, particularly the sound, but it was not unexpected from what I've seen of older Thai shows.

Also the 1st ep should maybe have a seizure warning for flashing lights.
