Will catch you off guard!! ?
💖 Spoiler Warning of course 💖
Since there are 4 couples to talk to, I am going to talk about the plot in general.
Starting this series, I have very low expectation because the actors are from the new generation of GMM actors so I was just watching it for fun since I have nothing to watch and oh my it caught me by surprised. While the plot is seem fairly simple on paper and actually it is, it works. The production caught the feeling of the high school vibe really well, with the teachers, the students, the music, the costumes and the filter. this weirdly bright and colourful filter they use for this series work so well in their favour. there is not one character from the main/support role that I do not like, I truly feel for every characters here which is new for me because I don't like BL series where they have like a dozen couple in one series.
the casting here also is so good because surprise surprise, they actually look like a bunch of high schoolers and the casting of Pod and Papang as the teachers also work surprisingly well. They all look like their characters which you can't say a lot in the industry where they snatch every good looking person off the street to be on tv no matter the character. (these kids highkey act better than some of the seniors from the company ngl) 🎉
One thing I appreciate the most from this series is it is in the universe where being gay is so normalized for high schoolers and everybody that we as a viewers can focus more on the trope like jealousy, etc, we need to bring that energy more to in real world.
🎨 Kit (Luke) & Shane (Mick): The story of Shane and Kit is fairly cliché as one is the smart kid that needs to tutor the not so smart kid which is an overdone trope at this time of era but for me personally, I do love a little bit of cliché in the world where every BL series try hard to stand out with their out of the box plot. Each characters bring the best of each other's which is nice to see as its not only one sided character development. their struggles as a couple and individual slowly unveil as the series go on and none of it feels rush from my view and I appreciate that a lot. (also I almost chocked on myself when I learnt that Mick is Win Metawin biological little brother)
🍦 Chokun (Kim) & Aston (Mon): this pairing is absolute fluffball, they are so cute together and both of the actors look very natural doing the characters they were assigned for which brings a very smooth watching experience. Their story is actually really weird to analyse because they became a couple really quick even before they knew each other that well which actually happened a lot among teenagers so their whole deal is they learning about each other and facing struggles together such the possibility that Mon is Bisexual or Kim is very paranoid as a person. at some part you would be like "ugh miscommunication" but then they actually talk like talk talk and not I am sorry and that is which I appreciate (this also intended to the other couples as well). Overall I love their dynamic I would like to take a second to applaud Chokun's acting improvement since I first saw him on My Love Mix Up.
🧸 Ken (Rer) & Paul (Tar): their story is even weirder to analyse because they actually did not officially became a couple like the other two BUT for some reason I like it because they actually do care for each other and have feelings for each other but there is this silent agreement that they will not leave each others side and I interpreted their dynamic that both of them are not ready for relationship yet but neither wants to leave the other side so I hope they make a little mini series in the future to see everyone in the university setting instead to show their growth.
🥂 Pod (Nut) & Papang (Tan): making an older couple among these teenagers is such a smart move because it gives the viewer a break from watching teenagers for 12 episodes straight and also it shows that adult also has a relationship and self problem and that being adult does not just instantly remove the problems teenagers face. anyways, these two as pairing work surprising well and I don't have a lot to say since their story is very straightforward so it's easy to understand.
overall, the plot resonates to me a lot especially the plot where they all struggle what path they want to take for their future. this for me is the definition of adorable to the max, everyone I just want to pinch their cheeks and this might be my comfort series in the future. I highly recommend it 🏫
