I wish I wouldn't have listened to the poor reviews and watched this sooner!

This must fall into the love it or hate it category or something. I really liked this a lot, and I don't understand the poor ratings.

I am so glad to have something that is cute and easy to watch between the surplus of vampires, time travel, murders, and prostitutes in many recent series. I would encourage anyone that is on the fence to go ahead and watch this. I put it off for so long because of the negativity, and I shouldn't have waited. This doesn't deserve the hatred that many on here are giving it.

As far as the story goes, Pun is a warm hearted and shy boy who has a massive crush on the actor Ashi, who was once kind to Pun. Pun doesn't know how to approach his crush, and is quite awkward at times dealing with his feelings. Ashi on the other hand doesn't know how to love, and is cold at times, he doesn't even remember the kind act he did for Pun. It is that whole opposites attract thing.

Some of the people within this couple's circle are very supportive and want to help these two to become a couple. Others try to derail the couple and introduce chaos into the relationship for fame and money, or selfish reasons. Grandma is the wise one, and Pun should have listened to her speech about forgiveness, but ignores that advice until the end.

I loved the acting here, it is a very different role for Ja and First from what I remember in their other series. The chemistry is terrific. Both First and Ja are quite handsome and cute. I thought the side couple of Bosston ( Mingmueang)and Jo (Namning) were also cute, and they helped the main couple quite a bit. I also don't understand the comments about how creepy and stalker-ish Mueang is, the Doc seems to just be playing hard to get here, and I think them chasing each other (figuratively speaking) is interesting.

I must have been one of the few who thought the Lakorn setting and the TV crew within this series (a series within a series?) was a fun element, and totally ridiculous, but also seems very realistic in how over the top they are. It was just different enough to not be yet another school series, and gave an opportunity to see a variety of character types, some of whom are over the top crazy.

Overall, this was enjoyable to watch. I binged this whole series over a weekend, I just couldn't stop watching.
