It was my guilty please

A lot of the reviews were written prior to the show ending due to confusion over how many episodes there were going to be. So hopefully this one will give a clearer picture.

This show was a straight up mess, but it had a certain charm that made me (and others) want to come back every week to see what new is going to be there. It was definitely my guilty pleasure. The story was not really original but the chemistry between the two leads, Nut and Satha was interesting and felt different to any I have seen on screen. The feel of the show in terms of filming style had a sort of polished amateurish feel to it.

The story was the major problem with this show. It was all over the place especially at the beginning. At the start there was a lot of nonsensical scenes. For example a teacher who had zero relevance to the plot, had a scene(s) that took ~30% of an episode. In that same episode we barely saw anything from the two mains. As the show progressed we got more of a focus on the main plot and the leads, but it is very strange the number of scenes and events that I can recall which didn't develop anywhere.

The acting in this show was not bad. Of course no one here will be winning an Emmy but everyone did a great job especially since quite a few were first time actors. The music was probably the best parts of this show. Tawan is a pretty good musician and pretty good looking. One other positive I want to mention is the actual queer representation in this show instead of the straight guy who happens to have a thing for this one guy. That is a huge plus and explore (for a tiny bit) coming to terms with your sexuality.

Do I recommend this show? Only if you have a passion for trashy tv. It definitely was a guilty pleasure show. I say give it a chance and if you don't like it you can drop. While watching it a lot of people fast forwarded through scenes so don't feel convicted to watch all of it. Anything to get through it!!
