Good characters with a disappointing plot

Let me start by saying what I loved about this show: the friendship, especially Peem's group of friends, was great and I loved every single scene when they were together. They genuinely felt like a very close group of friends who care and take care of each other and who wholeheartedly love spending time together. Watching their scenes together truly made me ache and yearn for such a group of friends.
From episode 1 the show managed to establish their friendship, bond and dynamic perfectly and their drunk scene in episode 1 remains one of, if not my number one, favourite scene of the show: it feels real, like watching a real group of friends getting drunk and being stupid.

On a very surface level I also enjoyed all of the couples, in the sense that the foundations for fun and interesting dynamics were all there, sadly the actual execution of their stories and the development was not good at all.

We had a total of 16 episodes but instead of delving deeper into the characters, we wasted so much time just going nowhere. The development of the relationships was stagnant and extremely repetitive, to the point that it became almost annoying. I personally binged the show once it had already aired, but, if I had watched it while it was airing, I feel like I would've felt even more frustrated by the constant going nowhere.

An extremely disappointing aspect was, in my opinion, Phum's character: the potential is there, but instead of actually showing us who he is and why he is the way that he is, we get info dumps towards the end of the show and never really end up exploring his relationship with his father (that was hinted on episode 1) until the very end.
The pieces for a very compelling character are all there, sadly the writers weren't able to actually explore and flash out his character.
They should've showed us instead of telling us and they should've done so bit by but throughout the whole show.

Chain and Pun's story was also very disappointing: it started out very well, from episode 1 we could see that they felt extremely close and intimate with other (eg: Pun hugging Chain to sleep and biting his ear; Chain being very caring and soft with him and not with others etc), we ever got some very nice moments towards the beginning of the show, but then absolutely nothing happened at all until the very last part of the show.

Peem and Phum (and Q and Toey to an extent) felt like they kept walking in circles and going nowhere, and while it was annoying how they kept backtracking and being oblivious and dumb, at least there was a development, things were happing, but with Pun and Chain it just felt like they completamente forgot about them at some point.

A very disappointing show with a simple concept that could've still worked for me had it been executed better.
