I can't fully explain why I'm just too attached, I see myself in the characters. "My SAFE Place"
My rating is determined solely by the screen time presence of the primary ( KoSong KoNueng ), secondary couple ( Augar Achi ) and August..
I hated that Tle totally disappeared in the last episode. They didn't even gave us a hint bout what happened between them, in that 1 year, and he didn't come back to the hometown with them for new year celebration.
Looked like August losed his contact with himm..
It's the most memorable drama I won't ever forget!!
We all connect with dramas differently, and everyone has that one specific show that feels like a safe haven. For me, this drama is that safe place. I know many people dropped it, but it resonated with me so deeply that it will stay in my heart forever. It is a story I never want to forget. I became profoundly attached to it.
I loved the subtle details and the way it beautifully conveyed thousands of unspoken messages.
I will always cherish the story between Ko nueng and Ko song, very part of their relationship. Also the time I spent watching it, I'll never regret it
I never expected to love this show as much as I do. When it was about to release, the trailer made it look like just another boring, cliché coming-of-age story. Because of that, I missed the first two episodes. But curiosity got the better of me, and I gave it a chance.I still can't believe how quickly I fell in love with it—the very first episode was all it took.
Such a cute coincidence with their names! Those nicknames are precious—now I low-key want someone to start calling me 'Orange' (ส้ม).
Watching the characters transitioning from initial dislike to a beautiful, deep friendship completely won me over. Their friend group is incredible.
In real life, I don’t have a chaotic, fiercely supportive circle of friends like Ko does, so watching them filled my heart with such warm, sweet emotions. It left me wanting more and wishing I could experience that kind of connection.
At times, I felt a wave of envy watching Ko Nueng enjoy such a healthy, vibrant school life. It is exactly the kind of life I have always dreamed of and wished for myself.
Seeing them go from simple, newly moved-in neighbours to absolutely inseparable constants in each other's lives was beautiful. This show has truly become my safe place—the safest place I know.
What hurts most is knowing I have to let it go soon. It has become my Wednesday ritual, something I never miss even on my busiest days, and soon my Wednesdays will feel empty. I have watched plenty of slow-burn, school-life, and coming-of-age, youth dramas before, but I swear this is the only show that makes me wish it would never end .
Every single part of this drama holds profound meaning.
Even the endings the last lines, helped me immensely understand life, just those lines. Soon, I will find myself exactly where Ko and friends are standing.
Sometimes, I still feel like I don't belong in the path I chose, experiencing the exact same doubts as Ko Nueng.
While waiting for the next new episode, I decided to watch Lovesick (2024), and the difference in Almond and Progress is incredible.
They have grown so much and their acting has improved tremendously, even though they were always talented.
It makes me really happy to see actors around my own age starring in such a critical drama. I love watching them grow together since they started their careers at the same time, and I truly hope they continue to stay together.
They looked so young, especially Almond. Seeing their drama brought back memories, and watching their new show makes me proud of how much they have grown.
I deeply connect with the characters' inner worlds, finding myself mirrored in their raw thoughts, emotional struggles, and every decision they make, whether reckless or deeply meaningful.
This bond goes far beyond just a shared age; it is rooted in the shared experience of watching their lives shift from a chaotic, sweet youth into the bittersweet reality of growing apart.
Experiencing their transition as they head to college, discover their academic passions, and choose their own paths perfectly captures the beautiful, messy process of growing up. The transition that I'm going to go through in coming years..
This drama is a masterclass in coming-of-age storytelling, a rare piece of television that achieves high-level artistry while perfectly weaving in extreme nostalgic vibes through an immaculate re-creation of an old 1900–2000 environment.
It is a work of total creativity where the entire story revolves around an orange tree filled with a lot of sweet oranges, turning a simple setting into a deep, poetic anchor for the narrative.
Though it functions as a slow burn, every single part has deep meanings, and the show pays incredible attention to extremely great details, allowing each and every episode to conclude really well with just a few chosen words.
At its core, the series beautifully maps out the important phrases a student goes through during the time they're growing, underscoring the absolute importance of living life to the fullest.
The characters live their lives joyfully, showing us what it truly means to enjoy the little moments—whether they are navigating a chaotic and sweet relationship with parents, enjoying a small school trip, or going on a short sea trip with friends and family.
The drama totally teaches us to enjoy these little moments because, even though they're short, they carry very deep emotions that shape who we are. As the story progresses into adulthood, it offers a gentle guide on how to face the world, teaching us that when we grow up, we must learn to adapt to the environment and changes that might change our personality due to heavy academic pressures or career pressure. Instead of letting the stress overwhelm us, it tells us to keep up with these pressures and find what we're interested in calmly.
Ultimately, it serves as a moving lesson on transition, telling us to adapt to the bittersweet changes of life—like getting apart from friends and family for attending higher studies—while reminding us to maintain a proper relation with everyone, keeping our bonds strong and meaningful even though they're away from us..
I feel their pain through these changes, but their courage is inspiring. I hope to be that brave when the stage comes..
Ko used to rely on his parents to wake him up every morning.
Now, he lives alone in a Bangkok condo, far away from his family and his familiar coastal hometown. Moving from a quiet old town filled with the scent of the ocean to a bustling, unfamiliar city with no one around to nag him has been a massive shift. This sudden independence made Ko realize that his high school days are officially over—a beautiful past he will always cherish.
Despite numerous challenges and frequent arguments, their connection remains unbreakable because their love is genuinely pure. They now share a condo far from Ko Nueng’s hometown and the iconic Orange tree.
Ko has matured significantly—a sharp contrast to the chaotic version of him that I deeply miss . He maintained his old friendships with Augar and August and made new friends.
Ko Song pursued a demanding medical career. His schedule as a doctor is entirely consumed by work, leaving him completely exhausted when he returns home.
As a result, he has no time left to spend with Sôm. Ko Nueng carries a heavy emotional burden; he deeply craves quality time with Ko Song to talk through everything, yet he chooses to keep all of these overwhelming thoughts entirely to himself.
I hated that Tle totally disappeared in the last episode. They didn't even gave us a hint bout what happened between them, in that 1 year, and he didn't come back to the hometown with them for new year celebration.
