This review may contain spoilers
So I will start with a little disclaimer: I am probably biased when it comes to this drama a little bit as New is my absolute favourite actor, so I probably got a lil more enjoyment out of his scenes than the average person watching. Overall I thought this was a really good drama, I haven't watched the movie but I really enjoyed this drama. I found it to be very slow in the beginning which was pretty discouraging but pushed through in hopes of it improving and boy am I glad I did! I really liked the chemistry between all the characters, not just romantically with the coupled but the friend groups as well, I thought were really was casted well.
I agree with many other reviews that I saw, it did not feel as though Waii and Apo were the main couple as they didn't get much screen time, especially in the beginning. Towards the end though they got a lot more scenes and this is where I really started to get into the drama as New and Earth did a phenomenal job portraying their characters, their connection had me hooked! I feel as though the show focused too much on Min and Wan, it almost felt as though they were the main couple, and honestly I did not click with their characters. In the first half of the show it seems to only focus on these 2 characters and I didn't think they needed to pay as much attention as they did to them.
The biggest thing I would've changed with the show was to see more of Kluay and Achi as they got ripped off, in my opinion, when it came to their storyline. I loved the chemistry between their characters and wanted to see more of them together. Also I will put a little note I was not pleased with what they did to Pan's character, she clearly said she was a lesbian and even said she didn't like men but in the end they had her end up with a man which I found very upsetting (I did end up skipping a lot of their scenes as I disagreed with this, so I could have missed her saying she was Bi or something).
Now, despite all the things I wasn't too happy with I did love the show, and will probably rewatch it again. This show had me go through all the emotions, I was angry, heartbroken, happy etc. I found that once it passed the slow parts and the drama seemed to really get going that it flowed really well, they had my attention and I was on the edge of my seat. I'm not gonna lie I did have to pause and take a breath a few times as I got way too into it and was very frustrated with the characters lol. I loved the plot part of the end, I thought it was very mature and realistic which you don't always get in dramas so it was a nice change. To conclude, what I think would of helped improve the show tremendously was if they didn't try to focus on so many "main character" storylines at the same time, as it got kind of boring trying to follow so much but also at times seemed all over the place, I thoroughly enjoyed this drama!

chemistry. Chemistry. CHEMISTRY
Oh I am so sad this is over what a journey this drama was. I fell in love with this cast and the story and I am going to miss all the characters every Sunday lol.This is my first drama with ForceBook and I literally was hooked from like the second episode and I remember saying out loud to myself "I am going to be so sad when its over." I loved their story and I LOVED the Arm-Sand-Po trio so much!! It brought a comedic element and their group dynamic was perfect. I was sad to move on from the ArcArm storyline, but I will now be watching all of ForceBook's series lol.
PerthSanta was the reason I started this show ngl, I have been in love with Perth and his works for years so I am always eager to watch anything he is in. I fell for their couple immediately, their chemistry is unmatched for their first drama together too. Their storyline made me so sad lol but also the most smiley and giggly, they had me kicking my feet and twirling my hair. I thought this pairing was perfect and even though Gun gave in too easily imo I love them sm. I also loved the dynamic of Gun and Faifa being besties with Fai and Yotha being brothers, there were a lot of good moments throughout that made me laugh.
I feel like the drama started to drag on towards the end, as much as I love Faifa and Wine I just felt like they didn't need as many episodes for their storyline... I loved Faifa's character and I'm glad that he got his part in the plot but I just was missing ArcArm and YothaGun too much by the end I wasn't fully in to FaifaWine's story as I was the others. However, the last episode I thought tied everything so perfectly, seeing the old trio, characters from the first episodes, the ending to KlaoWa's story (which I love AouBoom a lot too so I was happy to get glimpse's of them throughout). It was just a perfect sum up of the series.
I really loved this drama, I highly recommend. Like I said many times I am so sad to see it go and not getting to see these characters anymore but I am excited to watch all the actors in new and upcoming works!!

I had a fun time
Oh how I adore PondPhuwin. I really enjoyed this series, I thought they did a great job of showcasing each couple and their storylines. I think the story itself was lacking a bit, but the actors did such a great job that it didn't bother me that much lol.I wasn't sure what to expect and honestly started watching this drama solely because of Pond and Phuwin and I fell in love with the other couples along the way. The chemistry between PondPhuwin and AouBoom is undeniable. I wish we got more of Aou and Boom's storyline, I freaking love Tan and how obsessed he is with Fang. I didn't expect basically all the side couples to get together before the main couple even admitted their feelings, but we still got all the cheesy cute moments from all along the way.
This is not a deep story by any means, definitely don't have to do a lot of thinking, but it was fun!! I had a good time, I felt the love, I loved the big group of friends. Overall I think this series has a very high rewatch value for me personally, I am already missing Phum and Peem.

YinWar does it again!
I'll start this off by saying I may be a bit biased as I absolutely LOVE YinWar but I mean who doesn't...I really loved this drama, the story was fun and the cast hit it out of the park! There's no denying YinWar has amazing chemistry, but all the side characters and pairings were amazing as well (I will still be holding out hope for a S2 with Tattoo and Aran). I didn't watch this as it was airing unfortunately just at the end of its runtime but I literally binged the whole season in a day because I got so sucked in every episode.
I can't wait to see more projects from these actors, I had such a fun time watching this series!!
