Oh my gosh, this is so intriguing to me. They haven't announced what exactly this is yet, but I saw the teaser on P'Boun and P'Prem's Instagram stories and it piqued my interest.
Lovely rant. I wrote a sort of “outline”/main theme or storyline list a few episodes back to try to make sense…
I agree! I don't regret watching this show at all. I do however regret that Strong's acting was put to waste once again, I feel like he deserves so much better. A lot of people were disappointed with this show because of it's apparent low budget and that the actors weren't top notch, but that wasn't the issue I had with this story. I thought that the actors did pretty well considering this was the first project most of them had ever been on. The story overall was too much for one show to handle in only 13 episodes, and a lot of different story lines didn't come together in the way that I would've wanted them too. But it did have it's own unique charm that for some reason kept drawing me back to finish this series. I appreciated the thought that they put in with having a GL couple, but just throwing them in without any real purpose just felt kind of odd and off putting. Like I said I don't regret watching it, because it was still....... entertaining? I don't actually know what word I'm looking for. But I 10000% agree that this show could have been exponentially better had it been organized more, and cut off many of the unneeded story lines.
I'm glad to see someone share the same opinion as me! I love talking about how I feel about a series after it ends, and you're reply made my day! Thank you :)
This is a series that I don't think I'd be satisfied no matter what ending they gave us. However what I was NOT expecting was almost three bed scenes taking up over half of the final episode. I just kind of wish there was more substance to it. The volleyball plot while yes, in theory should be a main plot line, feels both rushed and unimportant. There are way to many couples, more than I could keep up with. The Arm Ten relationship feels like it was just real out of nowhere and we saw them like three times the entire season with random tidbits of information that we didn't need to know. The Indy-Jedi relationship feud was cute at first, a lovers to enemies to lovers thing I guess? But it felt dragged out and the whole story line with Indy's sister feels out of place. Mai and Waan were arguably my favorite couple out of the whole series, just because they seem to be the most relaxed couple with no unnecessary drama coming between them. That is not, however, saying that they are the most depth characters in this series. In fact I think Mai and Waan are the two most underdeveloped characters in this entire series, and that they could have done so much more with the fact that they were not only childhood friends of North, but Mai was also roommates and friends with Ongsah. They really undermined the potential of these two characters and focused on them being to horny for each other to keep in their pants. I would've really liked to see more character development from them, not only for their friendships but I would've also liked to see their relationship as it developed from a one night thing to feelings for each other, and how they adjusted to that. Back to the volleyball story arch, it feels kind of unneeded, like they were just trying to find a way to justify the mom's hatred for lgbtq people, and I didn't like how it kind of undermined what was supposed to be like the main premise of this series, you know, the whole North was a spirit in the pool that the ENTIRE first half of the season focused on and then they kind of dropped it out of nowhere? Yeah.
It feels like they were trying to fit 5 different series into 13 episodes and it just didn't work. The story was hard to follow sometimes, and other times I just didn't have a CLUE what was going on. I feel many characters that we were introduced to were there for literally no reason, like that whatever the heck his name is, the nosy one that I think is in the volleyball club but we literally barely ever see him unless he's sticking his nose where it doesn't belong. And P'Ken, that story line also had so much potential. Again I feel they were trying their best to give us more than we or they could handle.
In my personal opinion I feel like this story would have been better if they focused MAINLY ONLY on the couples of Ongsah and North, and Mai and Waan, how their relationships and friendships created problems and solutions for each other, and how they helped each other. When I saw Mai and Waan almost fight because of Ongsah and North together and Waan made Mai go check Ongsah's room, I realized how interesting that would have been to see unfold. The volleyball thing, while I see where they were coming from I wish that it wouldn't have been made a major plot driver. The other couples, I really didn't need to know anything about them or their stories because it seemed extra and irrelevant and out of place and sometimes made me feel uncomfortable even, as if I was watching an entirely different show. Also, North being a spirit was the main "conflict" or idk, focus point of the first half of the series, and it felt kind of rush resolved. Like, he just comes to terms with it, we don't get to see his process of trying to understand what is going on, or him and Ongsah really just sitting down and talking trying to figure out how he's supposed to feel about it, they kind of just forget about it and move on, leaving us dazed and confused. His mother was a mess, took way too long to figure out what the everloving mess was going on with her and by the time that we did I felt no sympathy for her nor did I even want to try and understand her point of view.
Another possibility that I would've liked to see was them focusing on the swimming and volleyball clubs. They were treated kind of like a plot device that was supposed to seem important in the series but kind of felt like it faded into the background.
Either way, this series just leaves me unsatisfied in so many ways, and I feel that SO MUCH MORE could have been done with this series and these characters, and I will never forgive them for getting rid of all of Mai and Waan's personalities and making them seem strictly liek horny teenagers were their entire being. I love the character of the two and would've killed to see more of them together just being a normal couple.
P.S episode 13 kind of felt like a long porno, like I wasn't supposed to be watching what was happening. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for the horny boys loving on each other but it made me uncomfortable and mad that it felt like the only reason this episode existed was to show us horny male couples making out and didn't give is almost ANY ACTUAL CLOSURE TO THE SERIES. Rant over, thank you.
I don't think y'all understand me when I say this.....

PISSED.
To the fucking max like my emotions are so messed up, idk who to trust, who's on who's side, who the actual good guys are, if there even ARE any good guys in this god forsaken series. It PLOT TWIST after PLOT TWIST and JUST when you think there's going to be a breakthrough, it says SIKE and SLAPS you in the face with new decision changing. view altering information that YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH.
This series is better than I could've ever thought. I was scared at first because of how good the first season was and I didn't really know how they could make a second season to follow it up and make it just as good, especially since the first few episodes were so slow burning I wasn't quite sure how they were going to pull it off. But BOY OH BOY ARE THEY DOING IT.
Every episodes it gets more and more confusing and intense but in the best way possible. It's INSANE how this story's plot is developing continuously while keeping everything in check, managing to throw so many problems at us and still keep it making sense and within the realm of possibilities. Playing off of problems that the students are facing and using those emotions to help stir their decisions is so realistic.
How the screen writer manages to come up with this is beyond me, but kudos to them for being brilliant. And let's not forget the amazing actor's and directors and everyone involved in the making of this series. They're all amazing. Once again Gun Atthaphan best actor. I fucking love him to death he is so talented in portraying every role, every character, ever feeling that need to be shown and it's honestly astounding.
N E WAYS one last lesson that needs to be taken from this is literally never trust any of the adults for their words ever. FUCK this episode was a ROLLER COASTER of emotions and SO MUCH SHIT HAPPENED AT ONCE I need a while to fully process what I just watched, but if you haven't a;ready, I advise you to go watch episode 9 AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
I'm annoyed. I'm annoyed because I know I shouldn't want to watch this show because of the low quality production and less than perfect acting, not to mention to atrocious subtitles, but for SOME REASON, I keep coming back to this show. Whenever I try to drop it something in the back of my mind feels unsatisfied, unfulfilled, and regretful that I didn't finish it. There's just something about it that's like a rope tied to my waist, no matter how hard or how fast I try to run away, I keep getting pulled back. It's not perfect and there are many, MANY things that I would've either changed or limited in this series. but I don't know. This series has it's own unique weird charm to it that makes me feel uncertain to stray away from it. It's almost like it's so bad that it's good. There's one episode left and now I'm sure that I have to stick it out to the end and see how they try and wrap up all of the numerous story lines.
I just want to focus on the fact that the description says "Very Wholesome" but here I am yelling at the mom every episode for being a split personality lunatic.
I'm actually lost for words rn. Time is not only not dead, but it with the director. Korn isn't dead but he's basically not alive either. Pang watched Korn try to kill himself, only to come back to find out that because Time helped him find Korn he "died". Imagine the guilt on Pangs mind, thinking he was responsible for 2 of his friends deaths. On top of that all of his friends have turned against him, some of them even helping that god forsaken woman. She said that they're getting treated and getting better but those kids are barely living. Not being able to respond to commands, losing all of their memories. And Grace starting to unlock her potential. Bruh there is so much going on that I can't even begin to explain my thoughts on what's happening. Not to mention Punn helping Ms.Darin and almost losing himself again in the process, I can already tell that it's going to happen and become part of a conflict in upcoming episodes. What hurts me the most is how hard it was for Pang and Wave to become friends in the first season, for them to learn and accept that they could trust and rely on each other, and that bond is in jeopardy now. Wave has had trust issues in the past and although he wanted to trust Pang at first, those issues along with the whispers from people around him caused a rift in that trust and Wave is scared to lose another friend. I'm interested to see how they play this out, hoping that they'll be able to solve their problems and become friends again. I'm also interested in how they're going to play out Punn being able to adapt everyone's potentials. Ms.Darin seemed really excited about it, and they heavily stressed it this episode, so I'm curious on how they're going to use it.
