Why not follow the novel?

This review is from a non english or thai speaking, bl lover, film students point of view. From what i can tell is the casting really good, the actors really put there hearts into it and i can see that. There are many award winning acting pionts from different actors. And i appriciate it, i get really out of the story if the actors are not believeble. I really liked the simplisity and soft/slow pasing of the story in the beginning, its not a serie with a lot of hardcore stuff and i liked the atmosphere.I recommanded this to a friend that i new to bl dramas. So dont espected to much hardcore love scenes. I watched the serie while it was airing and i enjoyed it mostly But for some reason after episode 8, idk what happend but the pasing was really off. Moments with a lot of story where to fast and "boring" un importand moments where really long. Iy was also edited weirdly...I wanted to drop this serie after ep 8 because of the wierd storyline changes and editing... Oke so I personally did not read the novel BUT i do see stuff about the original novel online. From what i can see there did this serie not follow the novel, what made me a bit less interested to watch the rest But I wanted to give the serie a second chanse because i wanted it to prove me that the writers and directors knew where the were heading with the story. Today i watched the last episode as it was released and sadly im a bit disapointed. All the drama that was formed in the story between, tine and sarawat, mil, phukong, man and type where all over the place. I know 1 season of just 13 episodes is not a lot of time to really tell all the details of a story but for me the struggels, the pain and fights where all solved to quickly. I will not give spoilers for the people who still wanna watch this serie. But there are a lot of plot wholes. if one is really hurt by an loved one, one dont simply sleep 1 night and forgives/forgets. There where moments when things stared and ended in 1 ep without any reasoning given... also i know its an soft story but 1 good kiss would be nice. the side couples did not really have a lot of screen time for there relationship to develop..mil and phukong for example had an really foreced and weird ending... mil was hardcore interested in tine then suddenly, his switch changed so quick at the end... personally man and type where my favorite couple in this serie. Man's pure love for type and his reasons really studd out to me more than wat and tines story... i hope they will get there own little serie :) I still recommand you watch the serie for a light and easy watch but if you are someone like me, who really focuses on the story than you might get an headache.
