Almost unbearable to watch
I’ve watched all the U-Prince series, and I can confidently say this one is by far the worst. To be fair, you can't expect too much from the U-Prince franchise. Most of the installments (except the first one) are short, lighthearted romcoms that are cute and fluffy with simple storylines and writing, which is exactly what I was expecting going into this drama. The other parts delivered exactly that vibe, so I thought this one would be no different. However, it really let me down. Sure, there are a few cute and fluffy moments, but the romance itself felt more like puppy love than anything that would make me invest emotionally. Honestly, I can’t believe that these two would have lasted more than a month after the show ended before they got bored of each other and broke up.I had a hard time connecting with any of the characters. The ones I didn’t actively dislike, I simply didn’t care for. Both of the leads were extremely childish and behaved like they were in middle school. The female lead is not only immature but also a fairly unpleasant person, and I appreciated that the drama didn’t try to paint her behavior as normal or acceptable. As for the male lead, he’s also far from being a good person, though I won’t go into detail to avoid spoilers. Unlike with the female lead, however, the drama actually tried to excuse the male lead’s shitty behavior. The childish antics of both characters resulted in more cringe-worthy scenes than I could count, and that’s not the only reason why this drama was hard to sit through. The acting is mediocre at best, and the supposed chemistry between the leads was practically nonexistent. The only reason I’d ever consider rewatching this is for the brief cameo of Aurora, who was a shining moment in an otherwise forgettable show.
If you’re thinking about watching a U-Prince series but can’t decide which one to pick, I would highly recommend any other part except this one. It truly is a major waste of time.

Acting/Cast: the acting is good,.. the guy are very flirty. the girl are damn flirty and funny. it was so annoyingly cute and cringe watching both main lead. the villain girl will make u feel annoying, but not like any other typical series where the villain girl suddenly hold a gun to kill main female lead. the villain here is more like typical jealous young adult girl.
Music: the ost ? not really remember,, haha
Rewatch: i`ll rewatch it when i want to find something that is annoyingly cute.. cute and annoying, hahaha.

At first I really didn't like the female lead's role, she really just have a huge crush unto the male lead but as it goes on she grew on me. The actress just acted the role/character and I find her cute at the end of the series. Well, most likely the male lead is handsome but the acting is not it. Another factor that make me like the drama is the second couple alongside the main lead, though they are not the center of the drama, I like that it had little portions of their love story, cute.

But besides that, this drama was an interesting take on fan service. Teddy and Pascal were best friends and they were extremely popular at the university, so much so that their fan club started shipping them and they played into that with various fan-service-y things, up to and including kissing. Their popularity really helped them with their projects etc. But then their fan club started taking it too far...
Interesting is that several years later, New Thitipoom who played Pascal fell victim to the same thing, to fans taking fan service way too far, and they made his life a living hell. They insisted that, when he announced he had a girlfriend, he was cheating on Tay and destroying the TayNew ship and they cyber bullied him so badly that he actually deleted all his social media for a while and though he still remains friends with Tay - luckily, those jerks didn’t manage to destroy that - he now keeps a noticeable distance at any official outing. It was really a case of life imitating art. Unfortunately.
Overall, this drama was worth watching for Teddy and Pascal. Their friendship gave me warm fuzzies. They had so much obvious love for each other. Though I wish we were told why Pascal was actually living with Teddy in his villa...
