It's commendable that SOTUS S continues the realistic depiction of the struggles of non-het people, which we've seen in its prequel. Arthit's reaction when Kong flirts with him in public is highly understandable (been there, done that), and I'm glad that his character developed by the end of the series. However, the conflicts Kong and Arthit faced are easily-solvable by communication. Kong and Arthit as a couple facing society is a good focus, and I hope in the next season, they will face their families. (Here's to hoping there will be a third season!)

Tew and Dae are a nice addition, but I'm not sure what to say regarding Yong and Nai. It is unclear if they are just developing a bromance or a real BL, and their story has no development. They should have developed M and May's relationship more or explored Prae and her girlfriend.

SOTUS S is a nice sequel to SOTUS, so if you enjoyed Kong and Arthit in the first season, you surely will enjoy this one since it has a more fluff.

In my honest opinion, its depiction of the male-to-male relationship is close to reality, at least in Southeast Asia. It also does not vilify women for the sake of having a conflict, unlike on other BL series. I like that it does not rely too much on fluff and sex; instead, it has strong plot points that even non-BL fans would enjoy. Singto and Krist portrayed Kong and Arthit well.

The first part of the series might push away some viewers because of the ridiculous hazing portrayal, but it's worth it given that the latter part of the series will bombard you with lots of great moments.

I highly recommend the series, and it still remains my even favorite after watching a lot of other BL dramas.

Good and hot actors, but the story is so bad. It's hard to root for the main couple when the start of their romantic relationship started with rape. Then, there are two more rape instances in the show (Prae towards Farm and Bright forcing Farm to have a foursome). I'm okay if they addressed those as such, but they didn't, which doesn't convey a good message. I'm really uncomfortable with the teacher-student and doctor-patient relationships too. It's like this show collected a lot of problematic plot points. -___-

Knock is so stupid too, and it's like he doesn't really deserve Korn.

I'm also not a fan of vilifying women to push BL couples.

Only Yihwa made the series watchable for me.
