Honestly I don't know what went wrong with this. the premise was good, the plot could've been executed very well but it just wasn't. Let's talk about the positives first.

The Acting. As usual, Gun is amazing. All the other actors did really well too which includes Film, Nani, Jane and Dew, kudos to the actor who played Prasath, guy was so creepy he gave me chills every time he was on screen. Chimon played Pennhueng exceptionally well that i wanted to protect him as well, Love also played a pathological liar very well. Amazing acting.

Now i think that was the only best part of the series. While i must say the series maintained it's suspense element, but there were so many things that ruined it.
For once, why was no other Gen 4 student shown, like ever? Why did the series start with Run running away and getting caught, but no idea what actually made him take the final step of running away? (or maybe i missed it, but I'm sure i didn't.)
Next, Jingjai and Hugo were shown leaving for another city when they went back home, why didn't they leave? actually how was even the police involved with the Home School administration to bring them back when they first tried running away?
Another question is, how does hypnosis even work? At one point we're shown Master Amin is hypnotized to the point his views change, and the students also get hypnotized that they turn into potential killers. but then we see that students like Jingjai stop themselves moments before killing them, without any intervention like Fuji and Biw had. I get that "love" made others stop, but even then they had to be reminded of it, why did Jingjai stop? So many questions which never get answered.

Now we come to the characterization.I think Dew and Nani were not seperate characters of their own and I'll stand by this. They were very superficial, only existing for the female leads (which i saw for the very first time, usually it's the other way around, #.malesinfemaledominatedfields lol). Even Maki didn't feel...real till her backstory was revealed, which still didn't help much. the only characters i could comnect with was Love and Chimon's, who actually showed development and felt like real characters. even jingjai and fuji had better development than dew's and nani's character.

This could've been a power show if it wasn't for the plotholes and odd characterization, with a great cast(which i didn't understand the reason of half of it disappearing in the second half). Maybe even reducing the number of episodes would've helped, made it bit more coherent.
Wish to see better stories with similar vibes with these actors again, they deserve the chance. Just will regret the lost potential of this series.
