The plot is based in a University where there are multiple couples, which is a classic set up. Each relationship is special in its own way. There are ups and downs in each relationship but nothing that you can't handle. My favourite moments are the comedic timings just before a potential romantic scene. The medical senior and Duen's cousin Thara is my favourite character because he has a part which is handsome, smart, kind and charming and then the other part which is completely weird that wards off people.

The OST is surprisingly lighthearted and gives good vibes which is one of the aspects that I like about this series. The production is not too bad. Yes, there are certain scenes which seem being rushed or not well coordinated, however; we don't know how tight schedule was and what were the other factors that could have affected them.

The later episodes keep getting better and it seems after spending some time together the bunch of new actors have bonded and are comfortable acting with each other. I swear, in the initial episodes I decided to drop the series because the awkwardness and lack of chemistry were evident amongst the cast. I'm glad that I stuck around and followed the series. It's getting better as it's about to end.

I still feel that the scenes for the other three couples besides Bohn - Duen were really rushed. Especially Boss - Mek, the episode covering them realizing their love for each other is messy and I feel that the director could have excluded the kiss because boy Ryan looked forced in it. He crushed his lips with Inntouch - ouch, that would have hurt! A simple confession and hug would have been much better than the kiss, I don't understand why Thara and Frong's relationship took this long to flourish, it seems too rushed too. King and Ram also are in an ambiguous relationship and we aren't sure if King will even realise that he has fallen for Ram. Duen and Bohn had the most screen timing but their love story doesn't seem strong enough to take the lead in my opinion.

However, the only thing that I liked about Bohn's character is that despite being a "stud" he has this mesmerising enchantment towards flowers which is a feminine side of him although he denies it. I didn't like the idea where they dedicated 1.5 episodes on deciding who will be top and bottom when ultimately they couldn't even decide. I mean, is that even necessary. However, that is also to break stereotypes around Uke - Seme attributes in BL.

Well, my plea to all the potential viewers is to give the series a chance. It may not seem strong but it's comic relief makes it watchable.
