I really liked this series, despite the trailer tricking me into thinking there would be something supernatural happening. Still, it's not a typical BL, but more a social commentary where the school is a stand-in for a traditional, authoritarian society. It shows us how the broken system corrupts those who have to live in it, by brainwashing (Akk), but also making people dependent on it (like Akk depending on the scholarship), indifferent to the harm done to others (Chadok about what happened to Dika), or even doing crappy things to fight it (Thua). It shows how the evil committed by those on the bottom gets instigates by those above them, who in turn are being goaded by those on top. And how even the biggest a-hole can be redeemed. One could argue that neither character really answered for their deeds, but honestly, I don't think punishment would make anything better. They could only move on and try to do better in the future. Also, I liked the way the characters influenced each other throughout the series and inspired each other to be better. Overall, if you expect a cutesy student love story, look elsewhere, but if you like more ambitious productions, give it a shot.
I liked this series up until the last episode. Call me cynical, but I think that after three years they should both just move on. Also, their reuniting was too easy. Not a word about Kevin bailing on Pluem, running away and not talking to him, no question, no apology, no forgivenes. They act like they've been away for three weeks. Also, while we see Pluem making a career, Kevin is supposed to improve as well, but we have to take his word for it because we don't get to see any change. He's still making a ghost podcast. Apparently, it's successful, but is it enough for him to make a living? What about his studies? Honestly, his mother gets enough progress than him! A shame, I loved the supernatural element and the chemistry of the main leads was great.
I recently watched Cutie Pie and when I saw that line, I nearly fell off my chair: "It’s like we are practicing ballroom dancing every time we meet." I guess they decided to turn it into a series XD
So excited to see Chimon get the main role <3 He intrigued me in The Gifted and with each role I saw him in, I liked him more. As for those talking about homophobia, it's a classic example of foreigners getting offended by a joke they didn't get. Go to the original video and read the comments from people who actually speak Thai. It's about a frigging song, not prison rape.
