I don't understand the reviews

I think perhaps it's because people are more used to other Kdramas. But I don't think this is worth such bad reviews. It's a good show. It's quite unpredictable, and it's clearly a coming of age story where the main characters all find where they want to be in life and how they want to be living along with coming to terms with how the real worlds functions. No, it's not supposed to be hyper realistic. It's fiction. But I don't think anything that happened is unjustifiable with the circumstances presented, especially when you know how hard and how far one of the parents pushes their children. If you want something pretty different from most kdramas, it's good. If you want something similar to most kdramas, you might not like it. But as it stand by itself, it's good.

This isn't going to be super organized, i just see a lot of ratings that, for what it is, seem too high. tbh i don't watch many thai dramas, maybe all this is normal, but the production was just.... really bad.

there's one point in the drama where he removed the string the other guy tied on him, and it NEVER comes up again. but it was supposed to be dramatic. and later on it's magically back on and there's no scene addressing this. and the way the music is cut, the way the end of the episode is cut, it seems very low-budget. but it doesn't really bother me that much.

but i love the casting and acting. as an mlm myself, seeing a cast that doesn't look all like runway models is very refreshing. and the surroundings too, they look very normal. and the cast, altho there's some forced/cringey parts, act very much like how any group of friends i've been in acts. it's really worth watching, so long as low-production value doesn't hinder your ability to enjoy smth.
