Not only about school life but also family issues
First of all, I haven't watch the Korean version. So, I will review purely based on this Thai remake.I really love the acting, especially Namtan, Jan, and Kay. Namtan plays 2 characters in this series who are pretty much opposite of each other (despite being twins). It's easy for me to differentiate when she was playing Meen or Mind, only by the way they talk, their facial expressions, and their gestures are quite different even though they literally played by the same actress. As for Jan, she did an amazing job portraying Tida as the villain of the story. There were times that I want to slap Tida through the screen, as she is very cruel and heartless. For Kay, he's amazing as well. Gotta admit I still have Second Lead Syndrome for his character (Gun). He is simply charming, funny, adorable, but also has conflicts that made me feel sorry for him.
This story not only tells us about bullying and school life, but also about family issues, the relationship between parents and kids. Almost every characters, main or supporting, has family issues that has moral value.

Really good, but the plot is not as complicated as the previous season
Hormones is one of the Thai series that made me hard to move on after watching them. The relatable story, the characters, the ship dynamics, the conflicts, they're all really good. Even though the time setting is in 2012-2014, it's still relatable for me who watched all seasons in 2020. The final season for me is also very entertaining and satisfying to watch. But, the conflict in this season is not as complicated as the season 2. In season 3, the main conflict is about the student council and the sports day. I don't mind the new characters, for me they're just as interesting as the OG characters from the first season, but of course watching this season made me miss the OG's so much.The acting is really good too, especially Frung Narikun who portrayed Oil. She really got on my nerves with all her character's behaviour ; hypocrite, attention seeking, backstabbing liar. But, Oil also had some aspects that made me feel sorry for her, like her toxic parents. Good job for the actress. Pea Sarit's character Boss is also very well acted. How he made me agree with his mindset in the early episodes then changed my opinion into disliking him in the middle to final episodes, also good job for the actor.
Other characters are very interesting as well, Non the sweet charming guy, Kanompang the brave cute girl, Jane the badass savage girl, Sun the funny f-boy, Mali the sweet innocent girl, Pala the calm and collected guy, Zomzom the bold fierce girl, and so on. Also, honorable mention for First who successfully made me cry because of his conflict with his parents.
Overall, Hormones 3 is really good.

Funny story about friendship
The story is funny, light, and entertaining. It revolves around 5 guys who live under the same roof with their everyday struggles like financial problems, occupations, and romance. Each main character has their own charms and trademark, which is interesting. I also love their friendship, it feels so real and natural. Dave and Krating's friendship is the cutest in my opinion, they're very understanding and supportive of each other even when they had an argument, the kind of friendship that I want to have in real life.For the romance part, I love the relationship between Krating and Jim the most. It's so cute that they're so whipped for each other even though they had to face some obstacles before. As for Mikey and Ibiza, they're also pretty cute. The dynamics of a cute innocent guy and a bold feisty girl is very interesting. But, I find Jungo-Vanessa's arc kinda boring, even I wanted to skip some of their parts (but I didn't). Maybe because in my opinion, Jungo is quite annoying of a character, but he has some good side too.
Apart from the story, I also love the setting of their house. Small but unique. But I feel sorry for Mikey because he had to sleep on the couch while the others have rooms :(
