Cute mess
My expectations weren't high due to reviews but I must say this is one of the best series where all plot is focused on romance. Is it messy? Yes, but I enjoyed it.I think as long as you won't have relationship smiliar to Kluen and Dao then you might see it as stupid but let's be honest; for some people feelings are hard to understand and many sucks at communiation. I can relate to Kluen tbh. Sometimes we can love someone but hurt them because we don't know how to deal with our own feelings.
I didn't enjoyed any BL like this for a long time. JoongDunk absolutely stole my heart, especially Joong. In Dunk case; you can see in hidden agenda and THK how he improved since this series.

Wasted potential
Let's start with that I wasn't happy with casting. Engfa already proved herself in BKK and POT, she's great actress but Charlotte... I'm still wondering how greedy must be Nawat to push that girl into acting. She has better scenes, sure but overall she's stiff as plywood. I can count good scenes when you can see Run's emotion on fingers of one hand.Malin and Meena along with Engfa did amazing job but Charlotte has a lot to work. Tbh I think if she wasn't paired with Engfa, she wouldn't get any acting jobs.
Anyway, at first I loved the criminal part of plot but the deeper we got, there were more and more plot holes. TulRan as characters started to annoying me at some point because they overstepped their functions multiple times and did simply what they wanted.
About romantic plot.. oh god, where I should start.. I'm sorry but MGI should separate Englot long time ago. They have no chemistry since their relationship in real life become so tense and their love scenes are mess. I feel like the only people who hype it are Englot shippers. Also that slow mo during their scenes makes me wanted to throw my phone thru window.
Predicting who's the raindrop killer is pretty obvious somewhere in the middle of series which makes me less and less excited for new episodes. I gave up after 8ep because I simply couldn't stand the poor handle of the plot.
I think the highlights of this series is Tul, Jiew and Phu friendship. I really loved them as trio and I need more projects with EngMeen. I would love to see them as couple. I also loved JiewMay relationship, too bad writers didn't give them enough justice.
In conclusion? Maybe if they would give main role to different couple or at least pair Engfa with someone else and get rid of slow mo the romantic plot would be bearable. For crime plot it started good but end up poorly.

One of the best GL series
I guess I won't be the only one if I say it's one of the best GL series we have at the moment.Starting from plot; I'm big sucker for Friends to lovers so no wonder I was sold from first minute. The side plot including Wanwiwa's trauma and what happened with Pleng's father was also great and actors did amazing job.
LMSY chemistry is INSANE, and I'm hoping they get another series soon because both Sonya and Lookmhee did spectacular job. Other actors also was amazing and tbh it's hard to find an actor who was bad imo.
On the other hand I find that "sisters" plot unnecessary and disgusting. Idk but I feel like author of novel have some weird fantasizes about "forbidden" topics. Also I'm kinda sick of homophobic mother/grandmother characaters in every GL. Like, been there done that, NEXT.
Overall; I adore this series and LMSY. Can't wait for their next project.

Not so hidden agenda
The description of plot and actual plot in series doesn't have much in common since Zo pretty soon find out he idolized Nita instead of loving her.To be honest; I enjoyed this series. At first I thought it's just silly lovey dovey romcom but at the end of the series we find out its not so glittery pink because both main characters have family issues which was showed in realistic way and as person who relate to Joke, ngl some tears escaped my eyes.
I also enjoyed second couple's plot, I think it's nice to see gay character understanding that they can't stuck forever in bubble and hide, especially when you're hurting your loved one.
Some scenes was unnecessary long; small talk between characters, characters standing in front of building for few seconds. I skipped some of it.
Going to characters and actors; I LOVE GRANDMA, she's absolutely my favorite. Also I fell hard for Joong and his smile... this man is so adorable and played Joke's characters so good especially when i have comparision to Fadel from THK where the character is much different. Joong really did great job.
In Dunk case; I think people are too harsh. It wasn't Oscar worthy performance but he wasn't bad, I can list at least worse 5 actors/actresses. He had better and worse moments. For example the first kiss scene was phenomenal. You can see all of Zo's emotions, I think its one of scenes which Dunk nailed.
I think the biggest flaw of this series is music. I'm also sick of BL characters singing and playing guitar. Just STOP I'M BEGGING!!!
There were also some threads without sense but in conclusion it's cute series. Did I like it? Yes. Will I rewatch it? Probably no.
