It was a nice series overall but my interest between the two couples greatly differs!
I'm going to start with Hill and Ter as they are the first couple to start the series.
Their story started quite nicely but the fact that it relies too much on their past and that we don't have any proper flashbacks before they get together (not officially but still...) was a real problem for me because I needed to fill in the blanks by myself and, oh my God, I was wrong... Because I thought at first that the very first scene of the very first episode was just a dream from Ter's imagination - even though, it contradicted Ter's "hatred" for Hill (which we all know wasn't true based on his behaviour towards Hill alone...). And it was logical to think that because Ter was always saying that Hill couldn't be in love with him because he liked his sister or Mild, depending on the day. But, as the eagerly awaited flashback finally came out, it totally ruined their story for me because, from that moment on, I knew their story didn't make any freaking sense. It didn't make sense that Ter thought that Hill liked Mild or even his sister. Actually, their story started not to make sense from the moment Ter's dad interrupted them because after the argument with his dad, Ter is seen leaving his house to go straight to Hill to cry his eyes out but we learn after that scene that Hill was forbidden to see Ter ever again. So how was he able to see Hill at this moment? Again, Ter is seen calling Hill and blocking him for whatever reasons but they were supposed to be apart at this moment so it doesn't make any sense... Especially as Ter isn't even supposed to be working in his mum's café at this moment of the story. Or I'm an idiot and I didn't manage to follow their story properly but... they are a lot of nonsense in their storyline...
I would quickly add that, even though I like Earth as an actor, I didn't particularly like the faces he made throughout the series. It was particularly cringe... And how did Hill take all these photos that he has in his album?... Because it's impossible for him to have taken them...
I'm going to move on to my - but also many - favourite couple: Johan and North.
I already fell in love with Johan's character even before his story with North started as I love that type of character. And I also really liked North's character who, beyond his video games' addiction, is a really nice and friendly person. I liked the development of their relationship, even though it could've been better sometimes, mostly because of bad editing. I remember, for example, that we have no explanations as to why Johan increases North's debt. But what I really liked with this couple is, first, how they acted as a real couple, kissing each other with no shame or hesitation and, second, a coherent story (contrary to their friends...). And I really liked that we have one whole episode of their past story instead of several flashback scenes as we did for Hill and Ter's. I would've prefered 17 episodes of Johan and North instead of more than half of Hill and Ter...
As a whole, it was a nice watch. I'm not particularly interested in Tonfah and Typhoon and, even though, I like Arthit's character and actor, I'm not interested in Dao, so I probably won't watch season 2 (unless we see Johan and North in it!).
