Wha...?! I actually ate this up lol nothing mindblowing but that was so much better than I expected. In all categories! Acting, characters, script, visuals and all. These kids are messy alright lmao but I was just so entertained. The way it was shot was definitely indie vibes, but it didn't feel "in your face," it just looks really good to me. The shots from the scenes when they're outside are my favorites. I'm not from Thailand but from a southeast asian neighbor lol a lot of it feels ~familiar~ I guess because it seemed like they didn't staged these external locations. Obviously, the show had a vision with the aesthetics of it all, the kids' rooms, outfits, their bags are just sticker galore which I loved. The use of technology and social media to tell the story was fun too even though it also made me feel really old.m, the tiktoks and all. Boy, were these kids recording and filming everything lmao makes me feel like I don't have a phone addiction. The kids just simply like getting their nails done aspect of it all is so refreshing and fun too. The nails are so cute too, I mean I don't know how they function with that but love!! 😂

Anyway, these characters! Messy messy messy but also, I was just rooting for them lmao I feel like if you're gonna do a love square like this, it has to have compelling actors, characters and script and I don't know why, but I just bought it for the most part. It's funny to me how at the end of all that, Fourmod had the least cleaning up to do because my guy was just down bad with one person lol. The theme of "leading someone on (intentional or unintentional)" being one of the driving force of the story was frustrating to me at first but it made it more compelling as well. See, all these four had problems with communicating and expressing their emotions, they're young and immature, right? But let's be real, being vulnerable and confessing your feelings is hard even in adulthood, all the awkwardness and embarrassment and fear are there and I think the way they captured that here is why this worked for me. Let me tell you I feel all these four's heartbreak. Whenever anyone of them hears something that hurts them and they pretend they're fine?? The acting shines! I really felt for all of them whenever they're trying not to cry and the way these scenes were shot everytime, I'm just impressed. I gotta say, the actor playing Fourmod, New, got me choked up multiple times. I feel like a 16 year old getting broken up by her first love lmao pls but he's just really good at emotional scenes.

I was sure at one point, it's either no one ends up with one another OR it's a Baabin/Fourmod endgame. Honestly, I was rooting for them because I just personally liked that trope with Baabin, ya know. That friend who has always been there, it's "your loml is in front of you all along, idiot" vibes. But in the end, this ending isn't crazy to me either, I'm not mad about it. Maybe the Baabin/Bua needs more to convince me that they actually fell for each other but, it's fine. I really thought they'd just be Blinks bffs that would also make fun of the other two lol. But Bua's individual journey and growth has been my favorite. Also, was shocked that this whole story spans two years which I didn't realize til it was said? I love that so much. I think all of them did grow in the end.

I guess something I didn't like was the Faifa little storyline there but then again, I wouldn't get that scene of Fourmod posting that picture knowing Faifa would hate it. I love that scene because it showed again how terrible they are at communicating. He'd rather do that than just broke up with her. I mean that's so immature and wrong but that shit happens in real life.

Yeah, I just really enjoyed this lol
