More romanticizing r@pe
StoryThe whole thing with his dad is understandably kinda gross. I didn't really like it to be honest. I also didn't like the once again romanticizing r@pe scene. I also didn't enjoy that one of the first lesbian characters ends up with no girlfriend. Otherwise I think that the plot is good. I like the little friendship misunderstanding thing that whole going on throughout the group and that they talked it out later.
Acting/Cast
To be honest again I really think there is more chemistry between New and Tay rather than with Earth. I think that Earth was also a little awkward. Don't get me wrong he is an amazing actor but he was a little awkward in some of the scenes.
Music
I love the OST and the fact that Victor sings it. It is the finest wine on the shelf.
Overall
I really recommend watching it!!! Other than a few personal thoughts about it it is fantastic.

Na mě až moc zdlouhavý seriál. Trochu mi vadilo, že hlavní role hrálo šest herců a to neustálé střídání příběhů. Divák se dívá na jeden příběh, sžije se s postavami, aby potom dvacet minut čučel na jiné. A ta sexuální nevyhraněnost byla dovedena až do extrému a pro mě tím pádem méně zajímavé, mimo mísu. Nebýt Eartha (a i několika dalších herců) v nynějším seriálu 1000 Stars, tak bych se snad ani nedodíval, neboť Waii - postava, kterou Earth hraje, mi lezla krkem. Celkově jsem tedy ubral v jednotlivých kritériích od dokonalosti tři až pět bodů ...

Storyline: The 4 couple in this short series (14 ep) is too much, I can't focus in any of couple because it's rather short and forgettable. And some of the big story plots aren't quite well delivered. Some of the progresson is rushed. The one I like is some secret that makes me curious.
Casting: All main character is well portrayed, some of the extras are bad.
Acting: The veteran Actors (Victor, Fon) are excellent in portraying their character, Earth is a bit weird, New, Piglet, and White are quite good.
Music: The music is okay, the actors sing the OST (Victor and Piglet), not great just okay, the BGM also okay.
Rewatch Value: one time is enough, if you can focus on all couples you should rewatch this series.
Verdict: I give Waterboyy the series 7.0/10, I would give it higher if only the writer makes less mistake.

Splash.....
This drama was enjoyable, and of course when watching the notes at the end were very uplifting.The storyline and production were good. Apo and waii were good together, although there were parts i due feel confused, like when he trying to figure his feelings, but the girlfriend used guilt to keep him. They both needed to trust each other.
Many things happen with the other characters that were on point as well and well played out.
Although i did feel that apo and waii story was sort of rushed and strange, just when they fall into on romance he goes and leaves and story fast forward to a year later.
Overall narrative could have been better

The story focus more im the friendship and other couples.
Min and Wan lack of chemistry, the story is a bit mess too.
Fah and Pan are more suitable being best friend.
I love Kluay and Achi, but their screen time is a pain.
For Put and Sang, they are bro but sometimes the jealousy looks like a couple. Lol.
I love this series!

To be honest, the story plotline was everywhere. Like, my gay self couldn't even track it and I have seen American LGBT dramas. It originally started with the idea to save the swimming club and characters were added out of nowhere. They would forget the main story point and come back to it when it was helpful to. However, the side characters and their stories were great. Each character, you will rout for and there are secrets that I am not going to tell you about, but oh man! Some parts will make you uncomfortable, like the age gap between some of these people. I was a little disturbed there and really wanted to stop watching the show in those moments. Also, there is forced sexual content (not explicit). I was a little disturbed by how fast Apo recovered from almost being raped by Waii. I do understand how they were still able to become good friends. Waii is a very emotionally unstable character due to the fact that his father is an oblivious, neglectful son of a -----. Waii doesn't know what to do with his feelings and loses control. He distances himself from Apo because he doesn't want to hurt him anymore. Apo understands that he is truly feeling guilty and forgives him.
The casting choice was very well done and I applaud them for it. The personalities of all the people in this show are amazing. This show isn't really about sports, but more about the relationships within the team.

But, when it pulls you down
That's where stupidity begins. - Episode 13
When you had watched several thai series, you will not find whose most charming actors and actresses, its the storyline that will be wow factor after all.. Beautiful faces does not fascinate you at all. Well, honestly, it's a plus point, but if your story is inferior, you will not be able to take it.
First episode, just a few minutes, I said, "What is that, how come a girl be in a swimming team who is purely male? I think that's the story all about. I killed my laptop and suddenly after few more minutes of reading reviews, i nodded and got back To watching the series.
This may be your series that makes me tired of watching. each character has a side story. It has been sewing so much. But I think it's part of the storyline, telling the viewers that everyone's part of every person. A man can not stand on his own without the help of other person. Perhaps it is also a moral of the series.
In the Philippines, 'suicide is not the case because of many gossipers, so even a neighbor's brother, knows. In Thailand, 'not so. If you're not interested, you will not notice. They have their own life. When you do not come close, you have no friends. But this series tells a different perspective, unity. I'm wrong to say that they have their own lives because the Thai ones, at first it was silent, at first unobtrusive. But when they know you better, whether you like it or not, you'll be someone's friend. Your gestures are just like your eyebrows, just keep quiet, they know that something is wrong or something else. Make them friends, friendship, deeper, just like water. If they are not, they will not be too busy if there is no solid evidence.
"It does not matter where other people might be happy for yoy. What's important is what makes you happy."
It ended up well and I feel Season 2 is just like other series. Speechless but many are said. Kudos!

When a show has *basically* everything and still fails
This show had potential, but 14 episodes of build up end up taking you nowhere.New and Earth don’t really have that much romantic chemistry, but I think the pairing somewhat worked. The other pairs, not that much. I really don’t understand the idea behind Pan’s story. Having a strong lesbian character was one of the strongest aspects of this show, but in the end she gets a rushed ending with Fah?! Wan and Min’s story was a circle of repetition. The new couch plot line was very bad. And what’s up with the high school and college relationships on this show?!
I understand that there’s been some time since Kan and Tee relationship became “public”, but I feel like people don’t seem to understand how problematic it was and see Waii’s reasoning. I know this show came out in 2017, but the “half of the couple decides to spend 1 year abroad our or nowhere in the last episode” is a lazy plot device. Besides the travel cliche we all get the coward main character that spends 14 episodes unable to break up with the girlfriend + the villain girlfriend in a BL.
If the actors were really bad I wouldn’t mind it too much, but this cast had so much potential! To be fair, New and Earth got better in other projects, but people like White, Piglet and Victor were actually good here.
