No doubt about it- this series is a hot mess. Yet I was still entertained

Okay, let me start off by saying- I understand why a lot of people don't like this series. Heck, after I watched episode 5, I honestly didn't know what the bejeezus that was. But the last episode- it swayed my mind a bit. Let me also say that I am not saying that this series is one of the best out there (because, it's not). But it was able to keep my attention for the majority of the episodes unlike another series where so far 2 out of 18 was able to keep my attention (cough cough- HIStory5- cough cough).

Story- 6/10
Here's the thing- the story is a hot mess. We have 6 episodes to explore three 'couples'. Couples are in quotations because one of them- Matteo and Shokun- are basically the only couple in this whole series. Although I still don't know how long they would last as Matteo just basically gave up a big part of him (BDSM) for his love for Shokun.

We know that King likes Burger as more than friends but Burger likes King as only friends. I honestly don't know what thier end result because of how choppy the final episode was as it was not the uncut version.

Saint and Hida (the step brothers) didn't even really developed as Saint is still with his girlfriend Fern at the end. So...yeah. And Fern and Saint's storyline is just....yeah.

And then Ken and Pimtha...they're just there to be annoying and evil, I guess?

The series is confusing because a lot of people would think that it's a BL- which somehow turned into a mystery (giving off Riverdale Season 1 or PLL vibes). But this is not the case as I did see this statement if it was not in the 0 episode , it was on Reddit that stated that this series is NOT a BL series, but an LGBT+ production...with morecreal life coming of age and sexual exploration story line, and more in a social portray way. With the intention of educating the Thai society about such issues, and of re-opening the debate on sexual education and understanding that started years ago with HORMONES The Series in 2013-2015. Was this executed properly to show this? Honestly, I don't think so. But the mustery part, which I wasn't even invested in when I started this series, is the only reason why I am giving this hot mess of a storyline a 6.

Acting/ Cast-7/10
You know what? I may be in the minority but I found the main actors acting was actually passable for this being thier first roles. So, because of that, I will give them a 7.

Music-7.5/10
While the misic is sounding like a lot of auto-tune was used, I still found it cute and catchy. At the beginning from episodes 2 to 6, I would have actually hummed along with it. As such, I'm giving it a 7.5.

Rewatch Valu- 6/10
Let's be real. It is choppy if you are watching this series and don't have access to the uncut version. The storyline does not flow properly and it has left people hella confused. But all in all, what I was able to understand is what will make me give this a 6.

Overall-6.5/10
Overall I give this series a 6.5. I really won't recommend this series to anyone because as I have stated, it is choppy and does not flow properly which can be peet peeves for people. Also, they might be very dissapointed thinking that it's a BL series and that if not all the majority of the 'couples' end up together. When in fact only one does.

Will I be one of the few to actually want to watch a season 2? Shockingly- yes. I'm not that eager to see it but I do want to see how the story unfolds for the majority of the characters as we the viewers are just left hanging qithout any answers.

P.S.- if they want to continue with this murder mystery tag and want another victim- I day off the teacher/ principal. I don't need that kind of negativity in a series.
