When it comes to Thai BLs, I usually lose interest halfway or cringe too much/become uncomfortable. But LWTS, a series I didn't have any expectations because I just randomly passed by it on wetv, ended up being one of my faves.

1. Gene - Kao was right, Gene got me hooked from the first ep. The awkward works, sometimes relatable and most of the times funny. 
2. OTP/CP - SibGene/KaoUp's chemistry worked for me from the get go, unlike other bls that take me a few eps/some never. And they're not problematic so it didn't make me feel uncomfortable. 
3. Plot - I find this one fresh and interesting, from the perspective of a male writer in a female dominated bl world. It also highlighted issues in bl in a lighthearted way, with romance and comedy while still being realistic. And that plot twist was so good, it made the story better.
4. Sound Effects - I enjoyed it. It's on brand with the bl shade, since most series have those slowmo + bgm + light shining grand entrance for their god-like MLs.
5. Music - Aside from One To Ten, Maybe It's You and Don't Turn The Page, I also liked the instrumentals esp. Hopeful, Cute, Playful and You. The right theme was played at the right scene at the right time.
6. Ending - It was really good and very satisfying.
And last but not the least, 
7. Kisses - The series lived up to it's title. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7,  8 9 10 and... ! 

Overall, I really enjoyed LWTS.
It's better than most of the Thai bls that I've seen. 
And it's up there in the fave list along with SHL for me this year.

Maybe they wanted to be realistic with the ending of the special. 
I thought they'd go with "he came back from overseas" for Aey. But the one he got was actually realistic with the toxic fan culture. 
While with Mhok, I guess not everyone gets a happy ending. At least not at the same time with everyone else. More believable compared to other series where everyone somehow gets a partner then they all lived happily ever after. 

And I'd love a S2, but I won't hold my breathe, after all the special was planned all along and wasn't made because of fan demand. And I'm already good with the last ten minutes of the special.
Though I understand Mhok fans who want to see more of him. Maybe they can do a spinoff instead, with him as main.

Same. Aey's ending was good and satisfying (not saying he can't have a happy ending later on, just that he has to earn it). As for Mhok, even if he didn't get with anyone since it's only 4 months, I was hoping to see him hit big. Kinda like the one who survived Bad Engineer. lol
But nope, 2 years later and he's still hung up on Aey. And we only get to see him for like 3 min.

I see. I would've wanted to see more of him too. Though not in Bad Engineer but as himself as a person. Cause he really was just there to be Aey's "guy".

Probably a campus romance where the 2ML is nice and caring but for whatever reason, the shy and cute MC will always end up choosing the tsundere and rude ML. Hence the title. lol
