Regardless of any enjoyment I got out of watching the show, I had to have a friend tell me when Kang stopped being such an absolute douche and then skip to that point, because I couldn't stand him in the beginning, so it immediately loses points there.

Some people are upset the romance itself wasn't 'dangerous.' But I will remind you that the native title is "Heart in the Wind." The English title played you. Don't blame the show's plot for that.

Likes:
- Perth acts his butt off here, and I really enjoyed him. Scenes where Kang got upset, where he got teary eyed or straight up cried, were always lovely. Kang's story is of a boy who desperately wants *someone* to believe in him, someone to want him for more than his money, someone to tell him he's capable of more. And that's tragic and sweet. (I still absolutely abhor him in eps 1-2)

- I thought Chimon did rather well too, except for crying scenes. I've heard people have issues with his kissing scenes, but the only one I thought was too tense was the first one, and it was tense for a Reason, so? Yeah, his kissing didn't bother me overmuch.

- I liked that we had a legitimate Love Triangle for all of 20 minutes, until two sides realized they're actually bi and moved to other pursuits. (It is still weird to date your ex-teacher, even if you're lesbians, though. I can't...I can't quite get over that.)

- Saifah and Sailom's relationship.

- Max and Auto becoming Best Friends Forever. I loved every minute of it. (and if they end up dating, I'm okay with that too.)

- The development of Guy and Nava's relationship. (Tho RIP them after that bar scene. They would both be dead, or at least in the hospital.)

- The study montages. I loved them.

- Kang taking care of a sick Sailom and finishing the assignment for him. Kang with little kids was amazing (I saw him with the kids in Korat and said 'one day, he's going to teach little kids soccer' and then WHAT DOES HE DO in the final episode? <3)

I find it hilarious that I trusted Papang implicitly when he walked on camera in Not Me, dressed like a mechanic and actively plotting crime and anti-government movements, but Papang as a nursing assistant, dressed in soft colors and smiling a lot? Hm, something feels fishy here. XD

Issues:
- the show REALLY likes its flashbacks. There are so many sad or romantic montages of previous scenes. Every episode has at least one.

- they tried to make things So Dramatic, cutting to every single person before something happened, sometimes twice, that I was clicked ahead 5 seconds at a time just going 'Okay, I GET IT already, geez.'

- I've seen promises that go belly up before, but Kang doing a 180 less than 60 seconds after making that promise? That wins some kind of Shitty Behavior award, right? And then he's continuously shitty to Sailom for a full episode, multiple days their time, until suddenly he says 'I've always been here' like he never left Sailom's side because he was following him around on his motorcycle? Bro. Bro, what are you *talking about*? You kicked him out of your house. You yelled at him and told him you would never help him again. You responded to his goodbye thanks by basically telling him he didn't belong anymore. That is the shittiest 'I never left you' I have ever seen, dude.

- Guy struggles learning to walk again. Then Nava punches him and calls him on being sad, they cry about it, and literally like 24 hours later, Guy is sans-crutches or brace and is walking just fine?

- Someone doesn't understand how roofies work.

It's not really an issue, but hot damn, someone got majorly hurt in every single soccer match. Sports have never been so dangerous.
