this show doesn't know what it wants to be
This felt like one of those sloppy fluff fanfics written by a 14 year old on wattpad in 2017.
I would say that the characters act OOC a lot, but frankly, I don't think the writers had an actual understanding of who the characters are to even start with. Fah is set up to be a tough, intimidating popular guy, but he's really just a blank slate for most of the show. Teerak is almost unbearably childish, yet they constantly put him in serious situations he couldn't believably handle. Most of the side characters are very underdeveloped in my opinion. I didn't really care about any of the side couples since I was given little time to understand them or their stories.
The characters do not drive the plot themselves. Ridiculous things happen to the characters and they rarely make any sort of meaningful choices to develop as characters. I kept thinking to myself while watching that the college setting wasn't very suitable. With how immature Teerak and his friends are paired with the cheesy plot, I kept thinking that this should've changed some things to set this in high-school instead. At least then the childishness of the characters and their actions would make more sense.
The writers tried to shove every single cheesy bl trope into the show without thinking about actual storytelling. Not every drama has to do something revolutionary to be good, and this could've been a great simple happy-go-lucky kind of drama, yet I just found myself incredibly bored half the time.
All in all, this show is good if you just wanna watch something fluffy and cute without much substance. there isn't much of a story and the acting is kinda meh (though, I feel like that's mostly the fault of the bad dialogue and poor directing, but I digress). I still enjoyed watching it regardless. I needed something fluffy and silly to watch after finishing a dramatic drama, and I will say that this show did fulfill that need well.
