There are some very very cute scenes and some great kisses. The younger guy/older girl couple are frustrating a lot of the time (well, it's mostly her) but when they're not being frustrating, they are so watchable, so adorable, so natural, so giffable. The other couple have some sweet scenes but they have a very different type of chemistry than the other pair do, namely due to her age.
The editing could be a bit choppy; sometimes I felt like a whole bunch of scenes had ended up on the cutting room floor but that was mostly in the first 6 or so episodes. It felt smoother after that.
I think the cast did a great job for the most part. Again, it was March and Namcha that carried the show, and then the others came in behind them. Bie has room for improvement but he has the ability to make you forget that with his smile. Pearwah is freaking adorable. I really liked Dao's friend Dew (Tay), he was a really lovely secondary character, necessary but not, at the same time.
It's rewatchable but I think in a rewatch, you'd fast forward all of the non-cute scenes. Skip the PPL, skip the school scenes, skip the 'Kook being annoying or stupid' scenes, skip the ex-girlfriend. If I was rewatching, I'd probably just watch all of March's scenes plus some of Bie's when he's smiling.

While relationship with wide age gap may not a big deal in some age range and certain culture, may become a hindrance in younger age range and other culture. To my calculation, the adult characters may be: Kong and Kook are both 26, Dao is 22, and Khai is 18. In this drama it seems like the female characters have difficulties getting into a relationship with guys with wide age gaps. Some viewers felt somewhat creepy that an 18 year old player boy can fall for a 10 year old girl, especially since in the drama Khai is not drop dead gorgeous both in her younger or older age. I feel mainly drama plot, cast, acting look more exciting when it comes to Dao and Kook's story, because Dao is romantic and crafty, while Kook is "pretty and bitchy" (Dao's saying, English sub) making the ups and downs in their relationship entertain enough to watch, played very well by Chutavuth Pattarakampol/March and Sheranut Yusananda/Namcha. They both have a great chemistry. In the other hand, it's not so easy for Hsu Thassapak/Bie to create that kind of chemistry with Nichaphat Chatchaipholrat/Pearwah if he is surrounded by a bunch of teenagers running around with school uniforms. Bad editing and choppy screenwriting don't help much, making this 2 relationship stories even more complicated with unnecessary pairings of the rest of Khai's friends. Therefore, though this romcom is light and fluffy, I won't watch again as I will skip lots of scenes and only leave scenes of Dao and Kook, than the drama will be cut to less than a half.

One couple is girl around 18, guy around 29. Other couple is girl around 30, guy around 21. Nobody needs to deal with any other weird(er) specifics, because that's not what we actually see in the series (we CAN see the general age of portraying actors, that can't be helped). So I would quit it and concentrate on the actual romantic stories here.
First, I find it FASCINATING this series has TWENTY episodes considering it's actually about NOTHING at all. LOL. The story of both couples is not much, there is nothing much really happening except long talking in circles approx. 6 times about 1 minor thing that almost/happened.
General story of the first couple is she is young and timid, doesn't have much freedom in her age and the older guy is coming on her rather strong while her older sister with aggressive protective attitude keeps hovering.
General story of the second couple is she is desperately in love with too a young guy for her opinion (namely her pride), while he is desperately in love with older girl who acts like a c*w as she cannot come in terms with that she loves him, too.
It's going in circles, especially with the second couple.
It's not very "lovey dovey" but it's watchable, due the lack of even worse bullsh*t (like evil plotting bad guys, crime lines, family secrets...) and good dose of lighthearted scenes where nobody is getting kidnapped by vile secondary male or their hair pulled by hysterical secondary female.
Skinship scenes of the second couple are way better as the guy is way hotter and the girl is not so green and constrained.
I didn't like the music.
Around 14th episode I seriously felt the whole theme has exhausted itself. I don't know who needed to keep selling commercials to drag this for 6 more but I got tired while watching.
Stretching for more than necessary, I started getting nitpicky with the series. Episode 15, Pearwah Nichaphat's character is the object of two guys fighting over her (literally wrist-pulling her in between themselves) for the second time already. This is unexplicable as in this series, she is as dull as doornail. Ciize Apichaya actually looked more similar to the child actress in episode 1, maybe it was a mistake SHE was in the side-role. Also Bie Thassapak was getting on my nerves, he looked... so gay in this. But I think I would not write these things if the series ended sooner.
Rest of the episodes consist of even more random and unrelated bits that don't form any story (it made me even check the scriptwriter, looks like it's someone who only wrote some sequels before or did some editing), therefore saying they were boring would be an understatement.
I DID appreciate that in the last episode none of the characters suddenly pulled a gun from their drawer to rescue someone in a demented "action final", nevertheless I didn't enjoy lukewarm conversations on the same topic for the 10th time or the 100th time of listening to the same bits of "wistful piano" soundtrack. It all went slower and slower. It felt like stuck in a time-loop. It was like it would never end...
