Not amazing but not bad.
Decided to watch this series since it's short and has been on my watchlist forever. 4 episodes sound like way too less, and that was the main reason I never decided to watch it. I thought if this series has 4 episodes they might push too much story without proper explanation. Overall this was really cute but there were some things I disliked. It took me hours to find the right place to watch this because most sites crashed for no reason. Normally I can just watch everything but my wifi was not working along. I didn't have much expectations for this series at first and when I say not much I mean like zero. I was not expecting to like it as much as I did.
First, the introduction of the characters is done super cute and I love the cute animations. Overall this series was extremely aesthetically pleasing. Everything looked alright, the colour correction looked a bit off but maybe that was just my wifi fucking everything up. A little sad MDL does not have the crew like normally written down. I personally have never heard of the director Choi Sittichai. I couldn't find much information about the crew either, which makes me a bit sad because I normally do care a lot about the crew. Apparently Choi Sittichai works mostly on commercials and not much on series/movies.
What I like extremely much is that the highschool/middleschool students who actually look the right age. I was really surprised when I found out Q and X's actors were both at least her the 20 when this was shot. I like how they look so young because, as a student, this just makes it feel more realistic. I really like the acting of both the actors. While watching it I kept thinking about how I recognised the actor of X but I wasn't wrong about knowing Bever Patsapon since he is in many series I have watched before, just didn't realise it. As for Tee Khunakorn, I have never heard of him before, genuinely. Love how Bell Warisara is in the series!! I know her from her music.
In the beginning I was a little confused about everything and just a little suspicious of Mook aswell. Mook didn't seem like a trustable person and not gonna lie I was expecting her to become a 'main villain.' Which I have to laugh about after seeing the series. I didn't understand the original relationship between Q and X. Like were they childhood friends? Just school friends? Or nothing before? Maybe it was just me but I was confused. One thing that disappointed me was it had either no drama or too much. Episode 1 and 2 were pretty quiet but then 3-4 were arguments and more drama the whole time. Look, I don't mind drama but it was getting a bit too much.
The friendgroup was so cute and funny. I love how one was nerdy and the other was super shy and then Q of course who is 'talented'. Talking about Q, something else I found really bad was how Q was portrayed as 'popular' but didn't show it at all. He won many prices for acting but 0 signs of it. Like it was mentioned once or twice but it didn't, in my opinion, seem to play a big spot in the series. The whole SSEAYP totally got out of the plot, genuinely didn't understand and it felt unnecessary.
Ending was a bit disappointing, to be honest I do prefer to see more than just them 'reuniting,' It felt very rushed and I felt rage baited as well. It's nice to have an older queer figure like Uncle Man, because representation matters!Talking about representation, the realisation of X being gay was... not amazing. It could've been for sure better. Overall cute but gets lost a bit.
