Warm. That would be the most suitable word to summarize this show in one word.
I think, to start, the first thing I noticed in this movie from the very beginning, which I don't usually find in other series, especially Boys Love series, is the use of colors in the making of this show. It really matched the original theme of the book "When Oranges Fall", which is from the early 2000s. The warm "orangey" color used on the show really interests me and created a warm feeling for me personally that would honestly make me want to watch more. I watched this show blindly from a YouTube recommendation without knowing a single thing about the story & character. It was purely random, and it is a great decision of mine, I would say.
I'm a big fan of high school BL to start, and I've been watching BL since 2021. But I haven't found anything quite like this before. I believe it was also an effort from both of the actors, Poomsuwan Suwansatit as Ko Song & Passawish Thamasungkeeti as Ko Neung. The storyline is really not niche. I firstly am curious why the producer named it "When Oranges Fall", since I didn't know the context of the movie (pure blindbox XD), but later I found out the concept is actually really cute, where a single orange tree created a later to be romantic relationship between the main characters. I also can't forget to mention about the relationship development between the characters. At first, they don't even like each other because Ko Song doesn't seem friendly to Ko Neung, but who knows they would end up in a romantic relationship?
Talking about the characters, I would really love to mention about the great acting of Ko Number 1, he could really build that fun, extroverted, and cute character that has really caught my attention. I'll take one example, his habit of putting the peeled-off orange skin on his head? No wonder why Ko Number 2 fell in love with him :P His emotional act has also really gotten to me, I nearly cried when he couldn't accept the fact that he might be separated from Ko Number 2 because he knew they'd eventually grow up and couldn't be high schoolers forever.
I also won't forget to mention the great character of Ko Song played by Poomsuwan Suwansatit. Recently, I've noticed that most of his shows have him being a smart and lovey-dovey boyfriend, and yeah, I agree LOL.. He really is built up to be that kind of character. The way he talks and cares for his boyfriend somehow made me jealous sometimes.. LMAO... My favorite scene of him is when he was avoiding Ko Number 1, he finally confessed his feelings when the rain poured that he actually loved Ko Number 1 and couldn't resist anymore. If you noticed, LOOK AT HIS FACE IN THE SCENE!! I almost died seeing his pleasing face!
The last thing I loved and need to mention is the friendship aspect of their "gang"! It was truly a wonderful and perfect friendship. The way they always hang out whenever and whenever together is just pleasing! Going to the beach, hanging out after school, sailing together, and many more! Also, the relationship of Augar and Achi really adds up to the story! Sometimes I even forgot to focus on the main characters because of the cuteness overload from Augar's relationship! And this is honestly the kind of friendship I need, and I want.. T-T
The only thing that I had wished to be on the series is more screen time for August and Tle.. It is honestly sad that we couldn't know and could only guess how they would end up. To be honest, their story is really interesting too.. That's why It disappoints me.. Tle didn't even get to show up on the last episode, where I really wished we would get to know how they finally ended up :(
I had a lot more to say about this movie, but It would be such a waste as you should've gone to watch this amazing series yourself! This show even moved me to watch LoveSick 2024 because I simply just couldn't move on from them! To be honest, I don't really write reviews myself, that's why you guys might notice that it's really messy... but Ko Number 1 & 2 really pushed me to write this review :D I would definitely rewatch this wonderful show in the future :)
