Meh

Pretty underwhelming for something that seemed to have quite a decent budget.

~Story:
Mama, let me tell you something: I don't know what the hell is happening inside the heads of this people to think such a dull story deserves a whole drama. It is well written and coherent (for the most part), but there's literally NOTHING here that someone could find appealing for a drama unless the drama is about the dull life of dull college students. Then this is perfect.
Usually, a drama is a straight line that raises up when there are important events happening and that goes down to its original straightness when said events are resolved -- kind of like a roller coaster; well, regardless of what event is unfolding here, that line never goes up or down. It always remains straight. There's genuinely nothing. It's like looking at a wall for fifty minutes non-stop.

~A couple of things I want to point out:
As a gay man, I found so aggravating that everyone was pretty much forcing the poor guy, Jin, to fall in love with Bbomb. Red flags coming up! You DO NOT force allegedly heterosexual men into a homosexual relationship. That's how they start hating on us. It was such an irresponsible thing to romanticize that I was automatically against this pairing. No matter what the outcome was at the end, such thing is WRONG to partake in.

Also, Bbomb's manipulation. More red flags! I said it in my Tossara review and I'll repeat it once again: "if you have to manipulate someone to fall in love with you, then that's NOT real love." And the worst part is that Bbomb had the damn audacity to get mad at Jin for giving him fake "illusions" when it was his (Bbomb) own fault in the first place for manipulating Jin into giving those illusions. Really, manipulators are some of the worst kind of people I know. Get. That. Man. Out. Of. Your. Life. Sis!

~Cast:
This drama got some great talent but, unfortunately, all of them were undermined due to the dull plot.

~Jin/Bbomb: These two reminded me so much of the "Until We Meet Again" main couple, Pharm and Dean. One is cute and smiley and the other one dead inside. However, unlike Pharm and Dean, these other two were the complete opposite in terms of chemistry. Not even once I felt love coming out of them but, instead, it was very socially awkward. It looked quite forced, which makes sense since that's pretty much how this relationship started.

~Song: This actor, Kao, is to me one of the current BEST actors in Thai BL. He's such a natural that his roles are something to look forward to every time. I mean, look at him and then look at the mains and you'll see the difference in acting skills. Genius, can't wait to see him leading a drama.

~Ball/Keam: ????????? I mean, ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! All this building up for nothing. These two had better chemistry than the mains, yet it was completely wasted.

~Aim: Honorable mention because she is SO beautiful. I couldn't stop looking at her. I do admit that her acting here was more successful than in "Oxygen." Good to see she's improved.

~Editing and pacing:
Like I said before, this drama looks like it has a decent amount of budget to the point that the camerawork, sound and editing were really good. Unfortunately that doesn't make up the fact of how boring it is. This is quite a slow drama due to events getting dragged for too long with little to no outcome so, even though the pacing is good, it is still tedious to follow.

Sis, this show has everything: Chaotic relationships, forced relationships, manipulative relationships, dull relationships, rumors, friends you can't even trust and, what is sexual orientation any longer? I don't really recommend this, but I don't hate it either. You do what you want with this info, jush.
