Cute but nothing groundbreaking
Idk why the reviews are giving this so much hate lol. It’s a perfectly serviceable Thai adaption of the manga/japanese original. Is it as good as either of those? No. There were things I liked about it and things I didn’t.
Kieta Hatsukoi relied on a combination of slapstick comedy mixed with heartfelt moments. This was far less slapstick and also removed some of the more dramatic moments from the manga (ie, the homophobic counselor). So it did result in it being less funny and less emotional simultaneously. Maybe it’s not fair to compare the two, but it is an adaption so it’s kind of hard not to.
I also hated that they turned the play into a musical lol y’all are talented but I can’t ?
That being said, it’s just a sweet high school drama lol. Like perfectly mid imo. It actually follows the manga pretty closely, even the ending is pretty much identical.
If you’re just looking for something low-thought and cute, this fits the bill.
