Underwhelming.
I gave this series the benefit of the doubt but the story fell flat. It started out good but as it progressed it just became monotonous and uninteresting. The conflicts were trivial and unjustified and I just cringed through most of the scenes. I was hoping that it would make me relate or even feel for the characters but sadly, it did not. I couldn't see the intimacy between the two but merely two close friends being cute to each other. What's with Tine almost always fainting or having a medical emergency every time something happens? Didn't even explain these random medical situations.Surprisingly, the climax was anti-climactic. I skipped through side couples’ scenes as this has become a trend to most BL series and I rarely find these side characters alluring. A lot of their soccer practices were unrealistic, their clothes were always clean or they tend to look fresh even after practice.
As for the acting, it was not bad but also not good. I wasn’t invested with the acting but I still finished it. Like most of my friends say, they like this because it’s a light story, nothing too serious or dramatic. I agree that it is light but the writing could have been done better and the acting could have been improved. The series had potential but it altogether is disappointing.
The ending was underwhelming.

I couldn't see the chemistry between the main actors as well. Win was awkward but I have to say Folk tried his best but it just didn't work for me.

Mork and Sun's story kept me hooked compared to the main couple's because their acting was on par. I'm not saying that Tawan is not good, in fact, he nailed the role, he usually overshadows New in every scene, he was believable and an amazing actor. I was more drawn to him than New. New's acting was underwhelming and dry that their scenes didn't work on me unlike Mork and Sun's.
I base my opinions on the acting and the story, even if the story isn't good as long as the acting is great, I'd still watch it.

The writing and the direction was really done well plus the great BGMs they used. The plot is not really something new but it worked well except for the side couples' stories. I usually skip and go to the main couple scenes. This series is one of my top recommended Thai BL series.

The bully who falls in love with the bullied isn't new but it still worked for this series. The progression was done great and the balance between the two main couples was also good.
Wayne's acting was astonishing that I believed every word he said and every emotions he conjured. Don't get me wrong Huang is also a good actor but I was more impressed with Wayne.
A highly recommended BL series.
