I have watched a lot of lakorn series and most of them if not all is always missing something, the characters are good for the most part but the immersion and the cheesiness at times are overloaded especially for bl series. This is a much less traveled genre for lakorn but I must say its one of the best, something that for me is almost in par with american series when it comes to production value. The cinematography, plot, acting, direction. Oh god I literally had my feet standing after the last episode.
I may not be an expert as much but this review is solely based on my personal judgment and taste. And I do have watched ample amount of series from different countries.
The first episode already made me hooked with it. The plot is interesting especially for lakorn series. I loved how they tried to explore each character by the succeeding episodes which helped a lot in understanding the students under the gifted program. Though on the latter part, most of them did not have much spotlight as it was already focused n the main plot which had Pang and Wave centered. I would say that Pang is the central key to the series as it was all his idealism that had created the conflict between him and the director of the school creating all those events on the end part of the story. One thing that I noticed is that the dialogue especially on the key events o the story is very well thought of there is a philosophical standpoint that you can see and evaluate from the major character. And its funny coz I actually had my thoughts about it I mean the concept of superiority and inferiority, the equality not having achieved that easily, as most do not want to lose their standing in the movie its pretty much applicable in the society that we have. having that privilege what are you suppose to do abut social responsibility and all. It makes you think about it as much. So Kudos to the writer for that.
When it comes to the actors OH GOD STANDING OVATION! The one thing that I like about american series is that for the most part the acting feels so organic that you don't even feel that they are acting at all I mean it just feel so real. That's exactly what the actors of this series made me feel, for most lakorn series I've watched it always feels that the acting is their but it doesn't feel as real and organic as this. I recognize that there are other determinants to be considered but its exactly where this one excelled the setup it created made the actors stand out and the acting organic. Best actors fro me would be Pun that episode 5 he deserves an award for that, Ms Ladda, the director, wave and pang .
The story-line some says that its dragging and slow but for me that's just because it wanted to introduce its characters well and its totally understandable. I loved how the director developed the story inch by inch making it interesting as you watch every episode. This is the only Thai series where I was able to discipline myself to not watch the ending part because of how great the excitement it creates as the story unfolds more and more secrets leading up to the last part of it. i loved how the plot creates multiple twists ass the story progresses. The ending part where the director and pang is like playing and using all their cards one after the other is just so amazing to watch. BRAVO!!
Special mention to the musical director: The music is very immersive well done.
Lastly, I am seriously hoping for GMMTV to consider creating a season 2 for this even season 3 and so on so long as the plot stays as amazing as it is . For me there are still a lot of exploration that can be made even extending the set up outside the school. There is a vast number of possibilities that can be created. For me this is a masterpiece from Thailand and I wish it would be recognized as such hopefully. looking forward for more quality series as this
Nobody may read this but series is worth the review for me.
KUDOS! to the whole production team, the actors. You have made an excellent piece of series worthy to be recognized.
