Ok the lack of a consistent story is just too much, there is literally nothing happened, just cuteness and fluff, I'm not really complaining but I had Evan's facial expression the whole time while watching~
I do not know what that was, I just know that it didn't make any sense and it was boring~

It took me a long time to finish this drama not because it was boring or anything it's just I didn't had much time for it, I didn't skip much but by the time I reached ep8-9 I skipped many scenes because I just wanted it to end at this point, the acting was so good and the story is nice you won't get bored though half way through it you will know who is the bad guy and what he did ~
I have to praise the acting again because it was so good for a lakorn, most of the lakorns I've seen are full of over-acting and man-handling and though this one has a character that was "hurt" by someone it wasn't that bad.
I highly recommend this one, James reminded me a good deal of Song Joong ki xD so that's another reason to like this drama ~~

I have seen many dark stuff so yea, this was lovely ~

LOL the UWMA reference is on point, actually MaxNat are the reason I continued this, sadly their story was plain and at some point boring but I finished the series with some skipping ~

The premise gave me a Hana Kimi vibes with a twist, but it was nothing like it, I don't know what is wrong with it really because acting wasn't that bad for a Thai drama - seen much worse - and the plot is kinda interesting but the execution was flat and boring, I felt lost and some actors confused me I wasn't able to interpret their emotions lol specially Vier, are you jealous!? Angry!? Constipated maybe!?
Generally it wasn't bad but it was all over the place, maybe not me but others may actually like it, I thought it lacked consistency and logic in some parts ~

There is no story here, it could be much better if there were something that really happened, the whole series is just fan service and some actors were just below average.
I found some characters to be really funny and adorable, but I couldn't stand the way NuNew was saying "Hiaaa" nasally, and Zee's whole dialogue was a cringe really xD
I couldn't listen to them talking at all and after the 9th ep I kinda skipped most of their parts.
Side characters were somehow more interesting but there was no development in their stories so even that didn't save the series for me.
It was overall a let down.

Well, nothing made sense at all in this drama, I stills wonder how did I manage to finish it, I had to skip most of it ~

Because that is the term used for it! I have never seen someone calling any drama a "direct sequel" ever!! Korean or not, just sequel would mean that, I didn't even see it as a tag here.
You may be correct but my opinion stays the same.

Yea sure, this could be a great drama, even better than the first one and I would definitely give it a try.

My whole point is using that title and calling it a sequel but with different characters and actors makes me wonder why!? How is that a selling point?
They are sitting up the whole drama based on the first one's success that they didn't take anything from, not the characters nor the actors, just the title which I believe may backfire because people will definitely watch and compare, and that's why I said it has to be very good to be successful.

Ok, I respect everyone in the cast but seriously why would anyone watch a sequel without the main characters that were the main reason for the drama success, tbh if it wasn't for Minmin and Bongbong and their chemistry I do not think the drama would have been that successful, also the side cast that would change by the change of the story, I mean Kim Wonhae ahjusshi and his dual characters!!! Those stupid funny gang members!? Literally Wonhae ahjusshi was a "series stealer" not just a scene.
This has to be very very good to live up to it's name~
But I won't be so judgmental and deem it a failure before it was even made, I'm just not excited about it, I really hope it'll be a good one~

I don't know what to say about this one, the premise is good and the story is nice and despite the repeated idea the story it is still different here. But! By the end of it I was so confused, so bored and I skimmed through the last 3ep or so

I was lost, who loves whom and even with how things ended I wasn't convinced specially with Rin, I first 4ep were good then everything went overly complicated unnecessarily.
I have not read the manga so I don't know if they had too much of the story they wanted to show so they just squeezed everything and that's why it was confusing or it's just bad!!

Generally I didn't like it~~

This is one of the creepiest dramas ever xD I mean that in a good way but I was staring at the screen with wide eyes not believing that this is supposed to be romantic, It's a very unique drama, I haven't seen something like it that didn't end up with someone getting murdered or in an asylum.
there are a few things that doesn't make sense at all but overall the drama wasn't bad, I understood what they were planning to show and convey through the drama.

There is something I noticed that kept me distracted a little while watching, why does everyone has a specific colour that they have to wear most of the time? Nuea is orange, Sky is red, Jao is pink, Toh is blue, Daisy is yellow and so on. I think that was on purpose but I don't understand the reason behind it.

I don't know about the second question, the first it's kind of explained in the book, it's the strongest who rules, and that is why tankhun is out of the compilation because he doesn't want it.
The leader family has a ring to represent them so does the second family and that measures their powers and duties in the whole family business.
And whoever betray them should be killed and his authority would be lost.

Ummm I don't know anything about Bas tbh so I don't know, but right now I can't see anyone else as Vegas but Bible xD

I think being shy and introverted is a Double-edged sword it makes it harder for people to read you and I think it's a very good trait for actors because they can be a chameleon that changes to fits the characters they play~

Actually Vegas is a really smart and always one-step-ahead character, just Kinn is more mentally stable and supported by his family than Vegas - also he is the main character xD - that's why Kinn comes as better.

I don't know if you read the novel but I'll try to not say too much

Minor spoiler ahead:

In the book he actually admired him a lot because Vegas thought Porsche was like him, he has suffered his whole life, received no love and has a younger brother that he loves more than anything and he'd die for him, also Vegas was hurt when something happened - I won't say what- and Porsche was mad and probably hated Vegas so yes, you can say that he clearly loved Porsche and if Porsche has ever responded to those feelings he'd definitely fall in love with him.
But that didn't happen and then Pete came into the picture ~~

Tbh at first I didn't imagine Bible as Vegas at all xD but after watching some footage of his workshop and his personal life I think his sharp features and introverted character fits more as Vegas because he is the devil in disguise.
I understand Vegas as a character and what he do completely and how evil he is and I think Bible was able to portray that, he can look playful then intimidating and later in the story - no spoiler- his character will change and I am excited to see how will Bible do that.

Be that as it may, I also think if he was Kinn he'd be so good, specially when Kinn in the book is still a student and Bible looks young and he can add the craziness and youth charm into the character.
So yes, unpopular opinion but I agree xD

It's not only in BL that also happens in other dramas with straight couples too, and it's also not only limited to Thai dramas.
IMO when fans love a drama couple with good chemistry and they get popular, for film makers that simply selling. So they tend to choose the same couple again.
It's not always the case and some actors did change partners.

Another reason I believe - it might be just my guessing- for BL sometimes it's more awkward for actors to play gay, so picking the same partner would make the work easier because they are already comfortable with them.

God! That was bad!!
I thought the first ep was terrible but I believed it may get better as the show goes on since there are many dramas like that.
Unfortunately it didn't.

1- ML keep looking down at the other lead with high eyebrows and stiff body and he stares back up at him with half opened mouth, there is no progress whatsoever in the story, just a couple of months in the boring life of 6 students
2- 2nd leads are a little better - thanks Ming for getting better as the series goes- but still nothing happens besides a few bickering moments.

The whole environment of the series is awkward and stiff, no wonder there were trouble backstage because it shows.
Not recommended at all~~

WELCOME !!!!
it's both cute and fits the mood, I like how they goes for things that fits their characters' personality
