At first, I find the story quite ridiculous. However, with a narrator and the magical unicorn, thought I should expect that this is a fantasy and things just happen the way they are. What I really like though are the morals presented. It was shown that love knows no boundaries, it doesn't matter what your sex or your sexual preference is because when you really love someone, you can do things you never thought of, you can sacrifice your own happiness in exchange for theirs. But sometimes even though how much you feel that way for someone, there can be times where they could disappoint you or things don't go your way, but you just have to have faith. I like how the story emit positive, warm, and flattering vibes into every episode and how the way they ended it which was simple yet very fulfilling and sweet.
Acting/Cast:
Everyone gave justice to the roles given to them but I have to give props for James (Male Love) and Jaylerr (Tangmo). James just once again proved how talented and dedicated of an actor he is to every role he receives. His every move in portraying the female Love were very smooth and believable as if he really is a girl. Jaylerr's acting also came out so natural wherein you could really see his energy or seriousness just by the look or smile he gives. If anything though, I think some of Third's (Nuclear) and Jackie's (Menn) scenes look a bit awkward sometimes but all in all, everyone was great.
Music:
I really like the OST sang by 9x9 and that music in the final scene as it really added up some factor of being in that moment.
Rewatch Value:
If I were to rewatch this, I don't think I'll watch every episode but only my favorite parts (probably Tangmo's - because a blonde Jaylerr is a must seen- or the ones of my major ship). However watching them all isn't also bad as there are only 8 episodes after all.
Overall:
This series is perfect if you want to watch something light in your free time. I also think that once you started watching, it'll be hard for you to stop so I recommend you to watch it in the day so you won't sleep late, 555!
P.S. For those who think it's BL, I don't think that it fits into that category because technically, Love is a girl.

Just a bit of a background, but the reason I started watching this is because of a recommendation I got from my Thai friend. I have never watched any Thai series before so I don't know much about how their shows are or even much about the country's culture so I really don't know what to expect. However, I'm glad that I got that recommendation and that this was the first Thai series that I was able to watch.
This is actually a heavy drama as it has the family story, not to mention that they added even more mystery and intriguing details in the plot. It has shown how people can love so much and how far they can go to protect and fight for the people they love to the point that they can even betray their families that they have so much trust on. With the family values presented, I think there is something we can surely relate on and definitely learn from. It has relayed the message the we are just humans and that we are not perfect, we make mistakes but that doesn't mean that we are entirely bad and that we can't go past these sins we have committed. We just have to own up to our faults, be better people and hopeful as no matter what happens, our family will always be there as our home.
How the story started was quite confusing at first because there were no introductions for the characters considering the big cast but as the details are revealed little by little, every episode becomes more and more intriguing. The flow can sometimes feel dragging too but I think that that is to savor every emotion from each character which made the ending to be really anticipating.
Acting/Cast:
From the senior actors to younger ones, everyone gave a great acting and I think that that is a big part of the overall success of this drama. You can see that they really gave out their best shots as if every scene is real and that they're not acting. They really cry so painfully and without caring if they'll look good because what matters is that they convey their characters' emotions and they successfully did that. I would just like to give extra props however for the people whose acting have really impacted me: Mate, Cris, Phatson, Nipha, Yi, Pete, Toei and Meimei. If I were to choose my favorite characters though, it will be Yi and Pete. It is really interesting to see how both love so much but have contrasting beliefs as one is blinded by it while the other balances that love with being rightful.
Music:
The music added spice to each scene, especially to those with suspense.
Re-watch Value:
I think that I will not actually re-watch this but just because it's too intense and can really feel heavy on my emotions but I think that it's something someone should see at least one so I am definitely recommending it to everyone. Everything was worth it!

If I were to be frank, I think the story is quite weak and typical. It's basically about archery and the people who do the sport for different reasons, people who know their own dreams and people that are searching for it. I don't think there is that much in the story line but I like its simpleness and warmth. It's a story of youth, of how confused or impulsive people can be sometimes, but as well as their growth and how each character realizes something, which I think can also help us to reflect on ourselves. I also like that it didn't give a really defined ending.
Acting/Cast:
Without the heavy drama story, there really isn't that much opportunity to show the asnhjdcasts' acting skills. However, I would like to applaud Jaylerr (Shan) for being a natural awkward just like how Shan is. I also like the chemistry between him and Frung's character. In contrary, I didn't like Frung's (Bo) acting as I find it sometimes too much but there's one time that I like to cry with her. I find Thanaerng really cute in portraying the reserved yet caring Fame and the bubbly and playful Ami. As for Non (Archwin), he gave the usual good acting but I'm not impressed with his character because of his decisions.
Music:
The intro is quite long but i'm not even skipping it because of the music and graphics! The rest add up impact to every scene too.
Re-watch Value:
I like this one but I think not enough to watch it again.
Overall:
I learned a lot about archery and I had fun watching the characters. I think that it is still a good addition to the Project S Series.
