I will not dig into further about the details of the story because the plot twist and and the way they tell the story even made it more beautiful. So, just decide it for yourself if you are going to watch it after reading my reaction. :-)
This TV series talks about second chances that not all of us can experience, forgiveness, importance of family, the effects of our decisions towards others, relationships (romantic relationship, family, community and relationship to everyone), importance of LIFE and etc. etc... The story itself will made you think of so many what ifs but the plot twist, instead of answering your what ifs will make you ask why and what happened.
The acting skill of the casts were superb, though I'm not that surprised because I already saw them somewhere (maybe, one of the move or TV series that I've watched). Actually, one of the reason why I watched this TV series is because I know some of the casts, especially the leads. Ah, by the way, I haven't mentioned in the brief summary that the main female lead (Tharmnam) has a boyfriend who is now a superstar. He's quite famous in Thailand in real life as well.
Lesson wise, this story made an amazing job. This series suits very well to those persons who have suicidal tendencies and anxieties in life. It's a super dramatic TV series. Full of crying, but I never cried hahahaha (LIES!).
Anyways, I recommend this TV series for everyone whether you have a suicidal tendency or not because this series also talks about family which obviously all of us have. Enjoy watching. :-)
My personal rating is 8/10.

First of all I don't see any reason why the charcters need to be in full nudity in some scenes. Well maybe because of the director. If you happened to wastch similar movies of the director you can see simliar scenes. I was disappointed with the story though. For me the story just goes this way. There was a member of the baseball team who has a girlfriend and his bestfriend snatched the girlfriend from him. And that's it. Well the movie showed some scenes on what the members of the Baseball team are doing but I guess this should have been a documentary and not a movie. For me there was no entertainment factor.

I think the plot is quite common. We always have this friend who will support us in what they we like to do and this movie shows the benefit of having such friend. Regarding the fake boyfriend thing I think that is quite common in Thailand or should I say that kind of topic has already been featured in some movies an series out there. The ending is quite unclear for me though. Did they end up still being good friend or did they started to lie each other in a different level. If you want to think with me regarding how the movie ends well you can watch it. :-)
Acting/Cast:
I saw some of the casts in some series but I am just not that sure though. Acting skills? Quite so so withe me. Their still young and there's always a room for improvement.
Music:
I love some of the music, just some of it.
Rewatch Value:
I can give it a go. But I've already watched it and learned the lesson from it. Maybe if there's something I want to see again on that movie I can watch it again. :-)
Overall:
Story wise the movie was good. But honestly speaking I was not satisfied with some parts most especially the ending.

After seeing that it has 52 episode I turned by back already but every time I visit this site I found myself going back to this page and read some reactions that would convince me to watch it. Actually one of the reason why I watched this series is because of Luhan. I only know him as a singer but as an actor, not. And the other thing is that one of our subject right now is Mandarin so I thought watching a Chinese Series would help me appreciate mandarin Better. So I downloaded 10 episodes first. I watched the first episode until I finished watching all 10 episodes nonstop. :-) So I downloaded all 52 of them afterwards.
About the Series. This is a one of a Kind Series. Lesson of friendship, sacrifices, forgiveness, repentance, Love (all forms of love especially one sided love), greed for power, fame and the likes was wonderfully depicted in this series. The story was wonderfully planned and the twist was crafted well. I enjoyed watching it. Well, their expenses in producing this kind of Series is huge so they better give their all to it. The actors are great. I start liking them. But what love best in this series really is the plot.... Its AMAZING. I tried convincing my friends to watch it. Well them were amazed by how I narrate it to them and they would watch a bit of it and they said that it was a good series but after knowing that is has 52 episode and 45 minutes per episode same as what I've did at first they also turned their backs. :-(
But anyways don't be like me or like my friends. Challenge yourself and you would not be sorry for watching it.

FIRST STORY:
I want to know what happened to the both of them after that night. The story was hanging for me. The film that I was able to download don't have any subtitle thank God I know how to read and speak a little bit of Korean that is why I was still able to understand it. I want both leads on the first story to have a happy ending though. Both leads were quite attractive too. Indeed you would start cherishing a thing once you don't have it anymore.
SECOND STORY:
This story was quite good but I don't like the concept. What my Korean friend told me was indeed true. That in Korea you can't determine just by looking on their face if they are queers or not. Hay... Easy com, easy go. That's how I view it.

Some people are sensitive and they might found this movie on their not too good side. This movie contains a bromance theme but not so daring. There's no kissing scene either not unless you consider performing a CPR a kissing scene. This plot is not new to me when you found out that the friend you have known is not an ordinary person. Well in this part it suggest the beauty of acceptance, Acceptance of a friend from a friend. The movie also showed how important parent's support is to our dreams as their children. When I discover that the friend is like that I hoped for a better ending and that's when the twist enter the scene.. Hehehe. With all fairness to the friend though he was disregarded and abandoned he did not hold any hard feelings and grudges toward his friend - the value of forgiveness. Sometimes or most of the time we value the presence of a person when he is gone. The sad reality of life. If that person went back to you well you're such a luck guy but that's not the situation all the time because there are persons who never ever return once they are gone and this movie belongs to the prior one. By the way I love the location very much it's like the beaches here in our country. :-)
ACTING
Most of the actors and actresses in this movie are teenagers so their acting skills are not that remarkable though they were able to perform well in those scenes where emotion's badly needed.
MUSIC
The music made the movie more interesting, more humorous, more emotional and I commend this area. Especially that part when his friend waited outside his house and when the gay land lady checked the reason why the dogs are growling.
OVERALL
Let me give an 8/10 rating for this movie. This is one good movie and it's worth the time watching for. Hehehe
Acceptance / And / Forgiveness

A certain educational system exists in one of the top school in the country. The highest level or section that a student can attain is the section which they call "The Gifted". But not all students can be on that level or section for some extraordinary reasons. The story begins after the students who has extraordinary "potentials" passed the exam to become one of "The Gifted" students. And after a student from the lowest section made it to "The Gifted" class.
Personal Reaction:
I was hoping actually that this series contains stories of extraordinary powers like the most common one which is telekinesis because the series's trailer did not give away any hint of some supernatural powers or something on it. What I thought is that, maybe, the students were just insanely intelligent for them to be called gifted. And when I watched it, I realized that, hoping is a good thing, especially when you get what you hoped for because the series is a story of students who have supernatural powers which they called "potentials". And I found myself enjoying while watching it. :-)
I knew most of the casts, that is why I am more accustomed watching them act. I even call them on names which they used on some of their other TV series or movies because I was used to it. Watching a film where you knew the actors and actresses is really much comfortable than watching films and series with alien artists. :-)
Anyways, what made this series wonderful, for me, are the following:
1. The storyline is great. Woooo! It reminds me of "Spirits" (a Philippine series where the leads are teens who has supernatural powers). But I found this idea refreshing though it was not my first time watching a series or a film with persons who has supernatural powers.
2. The special effects were spotless. I can somehow say that Thailand's film industry is now getting more advance.
3. Of course, the acting skills. Though I still can't get over of their roles in some of their series and films, I still enjoyed their performance.
4. The music! Especially the introduction music. It reminds me of carnivals where magic shows are being performed. :-)
5. And that ending gave me chills! I was not expecting for that kind of ending. I kept on picturing a different kind of ending where the lead won instead of losing but it did not happen, instead, they gave me a jaw dropping ending. Wooooow! Just wow.!
What made me don't like this series is that, it made me like it more but actually I don't really like it (what?????). ☺ I ♥ it.
So if you are going to ask me what would be my rating after watching it, uhmmm, and since I'm generous I think I'll give it a 6 if it's over 5. ???????? Hehehehe and 11 if it's over 10. :-) Sorry, but I just like series and films with this kind of storyline. :-)
A must watch TV Series. It's available in YouTube by the way. :-)
Enjoy watching.

What is the film all about?
The movie talks about misunderstandings among siblings. So, this film was obviously a family oriented film and it contains a pinch of love story as well.
The story line was great but what made me love the movie were actually the casts :-) . The main female lead was played by Yaya from the TV series "Life Waves". I don't know what's the name of the main male lead but he looks familiar to me. I'm pretty sure that I've seen him in some of the Thai movies and TV series that I've watched. The other male lead was Nichkhun, a member of the Korean boy band 2PM and was dubbed as the "Prince of Thailand". I already saw his acting skills in the film "Seven Something" but I found him adorable in this film because he played as a half Thai - half Japanese boyfriend of Yaya. I don't know why but he got this charm that I can only see when he is playing a role of a Japanese like when he played as Terrence something (sorry I already forgot his name) in the live action film "Ouran High". I think, he's better off playing the role of a Japanese instead of a Thai. :-)
Honestly, the film was great. You will come to appreciate this film if you have a sibling whom you love to fight with from time to time.

(As narrated in the Korean TV Series Reply 1997)
First Love. The reason why we think first love is beautiful is not because people we first love were actually handsome and pretty. It's because we were unconditional, innocent, or a bit stupid at the time of first love. And because... we know that we can never go back to that young, passionate time of our days.
First Love is a bit rash. Without any calculation, we throw ourselves with passion and finally came to face failures. But it is at the same time dramatic. It comes with inexplicable feelings that we never get to experience again. So first love becomes the most dramatic moment of our lives. It's okay to fail. Tragic stories stays longer than "happily ever after". It's nice to have that wonderful story as one chapter of one's life.
First Love is a period of time. It never comes back. If the next love comes, time has to yield for that new love. It might not be as innocent as (your) first love, but it would be a little more mature, due to the pain suffered with the first love.
A person who dreams of love, is the one who waits. And a person who waits can recognize the love when it comes near him.
After the romance, the real life comes. Innocence gets dirty, passion gets cold, and youth gets old with cleverness. So first love becomes part of one's exhausted daily life. That's why first love looks like it can't be accomplished. Because no one talks about a successful romance with first loves.
Thus, it's (okay if you did not end up with your first love. There's too many kinds of love anyway).
PS. I just made the title. The contents thigh were exactly the same in the series except those inside the parenthesis. I just added them to give complete thought.

What made me love this film aside from the cast, the acting skills, and the scenes was the music used. It was like heaven. Well since the film is all about disk jockeys (DJs) I guess its reasonable to have a good choice for music. Its quite good film though. Try watching it. :-)

STORY:
The story form me was wonderful. Though I know for sure that they will end up together hahaha I just want a happy ending for the both of them though I think it would never happen in the story because.... hahaha you should watch it to know it. Well it was a happy ending but not for long :-) you would know why if you are going to watch it. It was just a short film... or should I say an advertisement? Hahahaha
CASTS/ACTING SKILLS:
I think is they were just going to stand and look to each other face to face throughout the duration of the film I would already faint. HAHAHA that was my way of saying that I would love them no matter what they do but is it too much if I would say that they were GREAT ACTORS? I think not, because I believe all of you would agree to me.
MUSIC:
This is what made the film even more wonderful. Nothing much to say though.
REWATCH VALUE:
Uhmmmm I've already watched it more than five times. It that enough? I think not. I think I would still see myself in the future watching it because if I could watch every episode of Sotus and Sotus S four times a week how much more a short film with the both of them on it.
OVERALL:
Sorry but if you ask a person like me who love the both of them I would surely be biased with my opinion. This was a great movie but not perfection. :-)

PLOT
I found this series so charming, so cute. Though honestly if I were to rank the four Project S series that I've watched this series will be the last. My basis for the ranking would be the story line. The story in this series was so simple yet beautiful but it's impact to me was not that big compare to the other Project S Series. I like that part when Bo, Shan, and Arrow went to Japan and saw Ami instead of Fame and then what happened next was one of the most cute twist in this story so I will not spoil you guys. You must watch it to for you to find out.
ACTING / CASTS
The scenes were so calm and simple that no heavy drama was required for the actors and actresses to act. Among all characters who caught my attention really was Pibunsonggram (Shan). He was stunning in this series so I tried to search some of his past movies and series and I've already watched some of them but I can't really recall him in those series or films, so sad. His facial expressions in this series was cute like when
Ketprapakorn (Bo) added (Fame) in facebook using Shan's phone, his expression there was totally priceless. For Ketprapakorn (Bo), I was not really able to appreciate her acting skills here. For me her best was the elevator scene with Shan. I don't like (Fame) Songmuang's role in this series as well. I found her wicked in this series, hehehe sorry. For Santinatornkul (Arrow/Archwin) well I already saw his acting prowess so many times like in Bad Genius, in Hormones, Bang Rak Soi and etc so I don't have much to say about him. I was expecting for him to be like that in this series though.
MUSIC
Project S opening song was really catchy and I can't keep myself from smiling every time I can hear it. About the background music, uhmmmmm, let me think...hehehe... well, I can't really think of any remarkable scene which was even intensified by the use of music so I'm sorry for that.
OVERALL
Well I will give an 7.5/10 ratings for this series. I am not really a fan of romantic comedy kind of series that's why. If you are going to check my history if I have watched any romantic comedy film before and I liked it well maybe you can count them using your hands. But you know what I think I like to try archery now hahaha like when I want to try skating after watching Project S:SOS. This was a wonderful series though. You must watch it.

I love the main characters, actually this series does not focus on one story only there are more than one couples but base on my observation there are two main couples in here. The first main couple is Cho and Yihwa (Opposite Sex Relationship) and the second couple is Knock and Korn (both boys).
It was Yihwa who was narrating the story. The series started when she attended the anniversary celebration of Korn and Knock. Yihwa and Korn are very close. Yihwa calls Knock as "son" and Knock calls Yihwa as "mom". It was even emphasized in the series how willing Yihwa is in helping Korn in saving his relationship with Knock and on the process of doing so she got to know Cho who will soon become her Boyfriend.
Hehehe sorry, instead of doing a review I am already narrating it to you. Don't you worry I am just giving you a short overview.
Yihwa has two close friends, namely; Being or Be and Dewey or Dew. Cho on the other hand also have two close friends, namely; Martin or Tin and Tanguy or Tan. Their friends will fall for each other respectively. Being with Martin and Dewey with Tanguy.
BUT...
It was the story plot and twist that you should look for. The storyline was magnanimously done matched with professional actors and actresses, I must say that this was the best Series I've watched ever (but I can't really recall how many times I've already said this just add it up to the best series checklist of mine ?). I was literally shouting while watching because of the twist in the story, you wouldn't know who did this and that and why. Amazing.!
If I were to rate it I will give a 10/10 rating. Again this is a Subjective Review so it is base on my own liking and opinion. You must watch it I guess.
Hands Up to the Director, Writes (but I guess it was based in a book or novel), actors and actresses and all the persons behind this wonderful series.
