I had heard about this series from comments on other series about how the actors from Waterboyy appeared. I finally decided to check out the series while resting from food poisoning. I want to start by saying this series is not a BL completely as it has several straight couples and unfortunately the BL couple is rarely shown. That being said, as far as a BL story I think it's one of the best. Everyone had natural development as the series progressed. The main couple went from a sligtly tense first meeting to eventually bonding and the main brute of the show (because honestly that's what Waii was) becomes a better person for being with Apo. All of the couples were like that, they brought out the better side of their counterpart. I think what was most enjoyable was the way all the characters actually interacted. BL's tend to spend a lot of time on cute moments between couples but in this they actually had meaningful conversation. Waii would listen to Apo as he helped cool the other down and ultimately aided in mending the relationship between Waii and his father. Again that was an interesting storyline and what drew me in was the conflicts that were slowly revealed like Min and the new female coach, Min and Fah and Kluay. The dynamics were good as the friends who were meant to be supporting characters all stood out. To be honest, while I like Waii and Apo, I much preferred the scenes with the other club members which usually in BLs unless they too have a romance, the characters are there for comic relief. Put, Sung, and Kluay had interesting stories of their own. There was a classic girlfriend in the way but for once the reason she was around made sense. While this had a nice wrap up I wouldn't mind a second season or spin off just to tie up the stories for those three. All in all this was one of the best BLs out there and is easily above overrated series like Sotus.
