Best Teen Drama I've seen in years

I never give 10/10s but this show 100% deserves it. I typically don't see this quality of acting, story, and production in Thai BLs that I've watched. This show in the way that it's filmed and set up it feels classic. The shots reminded me a lot of an post WWII Italian movie I watched in my film class. Which isn't super important to my review but I kept thinking about it so I had to share. Along with the classic feel it bring in elements of the modern world. I am obsessed with the way the editing was done. The aesthetics of this show and the clothing are literally to die for and so current with the times without feeling too out of place with the current time. I really loved the story I think the characters were written so well. They felt like people I know, and the way they deal with their emotions makes so much sense to me. While would I do the same? No. I understand at that age it's really hard to understand your full emotions especially when it comes to love. I've found alot of Thai BL dramas dramas don't hit the mark with me especially the jealousy trope they usually have. This show however the jealousy is more realistic and understandable. I loved loved loved the acting in this I thought it was so well done. The characters were so dynamic and the way that social media was portrayed was so realistic which I quite literally never see. The only thing that I don't use as much as they do is Instagram stories lol. Even though this show is more artsy and film like, it's not hard to follow in comparison to A24 films I've watched. I can't say enough how real this show felt. I think this will be hard to beat for other dramas this year. In honor of the gel boys I got my nails done while not as crazy still fun!
