I love the chemistry between the lead actors. Max and Tul did a great job playing Korn and Knock. I loved their story. I love how Korn was totally into Knock, and Knock was going through this identity crisis, but not really. Because I don't think we really see him struggling with the fact that he slept with a man, but rather with the fact that he's losing his friend because of it and how to proceed with that. Yes, along the way he questions what he's feeling towards his friend. Idk if i'm making sense. To me, it seemed like Knock's probably a canonically Bi character from the beginning. Even if neither Korn nor Knock are necessarily "out", they seem to both be comfortable being gay or bi, in their private world, but seem indifferent to being outed. This seems to be a totally 180 from Bad Romance and TWM:The Next Chapter which are both set in the future where they are paranoid about being outed and get angry and have outbursts about it.

I found some aspects of the story a little far fetched and unrealistic, especially where Plern Pleng was concerned, but that's probably just the pragmat in me. I think most people probably liked the unnecessary drama.

I loved Korn's sister. I wish she was more present and more wholesome as a character. Also, I'm pretty sure, student-teacher relationships are prohibited because of the power imbalance and it has nothing to do with it being on or off-campus. I mean I was totally rooting for that couple, but the logic there was totally invalid. haha.

Yihwa is probably the best character in the history of nosy pushy best-friends. I totally adore her and how involved she was in her best friend's love life.

Also, this ending totally messes with the continuity of Bad Romance, but I digress.

Bright/Farm really creeps me out. I really don't like Bright. Except for his interactions with Knock.

P.S. For people saying Knock sleeping with Korn was consensual. Drunk sex is not consensual sex. Your judgment is impaired, you cannot give consent when you are drunk. Also, just because someone is not actively saying no, doesn't mean they are saying yes. Sometimes our bodies react to external stimulation without us realizing (if you're talking to someone hand them something, they will take it without question, conversely if they are holding something and you hold you're hand out to them, they will hand it to you without realizing it - but you need to be deep in discussion). I know this is a point of contention for a lot of people as many people hook up in bars/clubs after drinking. But, if someone claims rape after a night of drinking, it can be considered valid as drinking impairs judgment. Also, consent is a changing thing, just because someone gives consent at one given moment, doesn't mean that consent cannot be taken away if they become uncomfortable later on. They can rescind consent.
