Now obviously it takes a lot to call series one of the best but this one deserves it and here's why:
STORY: The story overall is original, with a lot of thought put into it, plot twists etc. This is something that we haven't seen yet and it's just overall beautiful! Also what I loved, it that the fact that Than being gay isn't the main focus on the series but rather the fact that love between Than and Mes won't ever be the easiest and the most "normal" or traditional and of course it will be hard for others to understand un thus a lot of hardships will come with it. Also I this is one of the rare BL's where characters are actually said to be gay and not just "oh he's an exception". At first, I really liked this in BLs but the more you watch BL series, the more you see how occasional it is so the fact that they openly said that the characters are gay and not just in love with each other is a big plus from my side. Overall the story is really beautiful and it contains a lot of small details which can help you to discover the plot twists and let you think more into the story.
ACTING/CAST: At first, I decided to watch the series only because it was a BL and for the cast. I knew most of the actors (Ohm, Singto, Sing, Chimon, Gunsmile, Ampere, Guy, JJ) from their previous works and was really excited to just see them in new work and they sure didn't disappoint me! <3 Ohm's acting has become so much better and you can just feel all of the emotions from him. Singto as well. I saw a lot of people saying that it will be hard for them to watch the series since Singo had already started in a BL with Krist (SOTUS) and that ship was pretty big around the BL community so it's understandable that some hardcore shippers were kind of pissed that GMMTV were ruining one of the greatest BL ships. Of course, at first I had a thought about this but after the first 2 episodes, you see that Singto can also play a gay role with other actors and not just Krist which is a great point because a lot of actors aren't really comfortable. I could even say that this pairing is much better (sry peraya fans). Overall Singto's acting has become greater as well as Ohm's so I'm really happy about that. Also, the actress who played Than's mom was amazing. You can feel that she is talking with her heart as if he's her real son who she's talking to.
MUSIC: I just loved that they used mostly old songs from the mid-'90s and most of them I even downloaded right after cause they all felt so sweet and genuine. Few were sad and few were happy songs and they were really nicely placed around the moments so there weren't any awkward silent moments. Thai music is overall really great so these series won't disappoint you with that.
REWATCH VALUE: For whether I'm going to rewatch them or not, we'll see. I probably will because they're not that long and when you have nothing to do it's a really nice one to rewatch and just smile like an idiot c: But also I would like to rewatch them knowing all the details because a lot of times when you rewatch series you see certain things much differently than before when you didn't know that something's going to happen.
OVERALL: As I already said, these series are just beautiful because everything just comes together so perfectly. As for whether this needs a season 2...I doubt. This is a small beautiful moment that shouldn't be ruined just because fans want more. If GMMTV decides to do something similar to ReminderS with these series, I'm all for it. No need for a full-length season but just a small reminder of the happiness that lightens up my day <3
