As others have mentioned, the first episode really threw me off. I started this series a couple of times but could not get past the first episode, but it was so worth it. This has become one of my favorites.

The story starts off with what we would call straight up bullying and I just couldn't imagine as the one doing the bullying as the love interest. Once I figured out it was more of a cultural difference thing and when you learn their reasons for doing what they are doing it eases it a bit.

I love the main character, love how he doesn't really care what people think just what Arthit thinks. It helps that they are both easy on the eyes, especially when they smile. The story is a bit slow going and there isn't any hot and heavy scenes, but if you like the warm feel good, love the mc kind of story this is for you.

Story: The story is pretty good, it dragged in some parts and others I was a little put off by but again I think it was a cultural difference type of thing. I would love to read the story which it was adapted from as I feel I messed a lot of the details that would have made this story great.

Acting/Cast: I don't think anyone could have filled the roles as well as these 2 did. They had such chemistry and Kongpob fit his role as a cheeky jr. Arthit was so serious that when he gave his smiles it felt like winning...something. Their acting was believable (and from what I can tell many fan girls want it to be true in rl) and it never felt forced, something that is usually wrong in BL dramas

Music: Got to be honest, I don't remember the music much but from what I can remember it fit the mood great.

Rewatch value: I am not one of those people to rewatch something again and again. I'm usually a once and done kind of person or once and then maybe a few years down the road kind of person. This series though, I'm already wanting to rewatch it, just to see what I missed and to see the 2 leads chemistry.

Overall, give a go if you like slow romances and just power through the first few episodes. Also follow up with Sotus S the sequel is so worth it!
