Réal « gel » boys wihtiut usual Thaï cliché

I binge-watched it — and I can confidently say: it’s a masterpiece. A serie I almost skipped because of the cover and the title. Thank God I gave it a chance.

If you’re looking for pink unicorns, Porsche-driving tops, and glossy boys — this is not the show for you. This is a story about regular guys, a bit rough around the edges, dealing with real, awkward, and painful love issues. There’s no clear division into tops and bottoms, no obvious pairings. You never know who will end up with whom — the only thing that’s clear is that everyone has a broken heart.

The four main characters might not have equal screen time, but each of them is fully fleshed out and relatable. There are no clear-cut good or bad guys, no love at first sight. Everything is messy and complicated — just like in real life. Honestly, if I didn’t know it was from Thailand, I would’ve thought it was a European series. It feels that raw and grounded — no glitter, no sparkles, no fairy dust. Just teenagers and their feelings.

Special shoutout to that running gag with the ridiculous nails — such a small detail, but unforgettable.
A solid 10/10. I’ll definitely be following the actors — they all nailed it. And Leon (the redhead)… you know what I mean.
