a decent student project

Overall: I gave it a rating bump as I believe this was a student project - the intro says School of Communication Arts, Bangkok University. 10 episodes about 40 minutes each. Aired on Viu in Thailand.

Content Warnings: past death, grief, bullying, homophobia, punches/slaps, cyberbullying

Watch Suggestions (for the cute side m/m couple)
- episode 3 watch 6:50-8:50
- episode 4 watch 21:10-22:20, 27:05-28:50, 39:45-40:55
- episode 5 watch 4:30-5:40, 8:10-9:30, 11:30-13:25
- episode 6 watch 13:15-15:20, 16:20-18:10
- episode 7 watch 22:20-25:15
- episode 8 watch 38:40-41:35
- episode 9 watch 33-39
- episode 10 watch 16-16:40

What I Liked
- that I couldn't predict the ending
- the side m/m couple (and decent character growth/a former bully romance I can support)
- supportive friends (minus 1*)
- caring moments

Room For Improvement
- voice over exposition dump to start
- *Love saw a character doing bad things and then told her friends that he was actually good?, she talks to one person in the group and suddenly everyone was okay?
- pacing could have been faster, characters refuse to say things just to pad out the episodes
- wannabe fiancee
- cliche involving a car in episode 9
- nonsense world building (couldn't touch people and then could in an extra scene, total nonsense in the final episode)
- the side couple had a lot of potential but was very underdeveloped (only had 40 seconds in the 40 minute final episode!)
- not even sure what that ending was (there is a post credit scene, see my spoiler comment)
