Unrealistic, mediocre and annoying....but cute if you're bored.
It's cute, I give it that. And if you're bored and really starved for something new, go watch it by all means.
Just be prepared for a whole LOT of CRINGE:
1. The absolute WORST direction I have seen in a long time (if not ever) in a BL series. The whole time I've been watching it I kept pausing the video and commenting "I can't believe how stupid and badly directed this is", but I still watched the whole thing, because at the end of the day it was cute, AND because parts of the plot felt like it was loosely inspired by the manga of the same title, which I liked when I was younger.
2. Unrealistic to the point that it made me burst out in laughter several times each episode...and not because it was funny. It was just cringey af and plain absurd. No, just no, when it comes to the credibility of the story. The script was written by a lunatic and it was just sooo bad technically, too. Most scenes were too long and 1/3 of them were unnecessary.
3. It's personal preference, but I generally am not a fan of series with (especially many) side couples. Whereas sometimes the side couples grow one me & I end up liking them a lot, here the side couples flat out annoyed me. They were taking away from the main story and I never really cared for any of them.
4. The character of Prab's friend Long irritated me to the extent that I needed to pause the video every time he appeared on the screen. Not the actor's fault, it's just a badly & unrealistically scripted series.
5. Can we talk about the music please? OMG, no, no no. The same song playing over and over again made me want to kill myself on episode 3. I understand they made a theme song, but that doesn't mean it has to play in the background during 40% of each episode. The remaining background music was so basic it felt as if it was created by a 10 year old.
6. The disturbing teacher/student side story. Creep alert! Just no, especially since it wasn't the student who was the "interested" side.
7. Lastly...the in/out of commercial panels. I mean....disturbing much! I'm not sure WHO wants to see those BOYS topless, but not me! If they were at least well-built and a little older-looking, it would still be a little cringe, but sure - give it to me. Mind you, I'm of age - and whereas I understand this is a series about teenagers - I'm not much older and it still made me extremely uncomfortable. Mostly because the actors look very young. Also the topless takes had nothing to do with the series itself that just barely contains kissing (the most innocent kind, too).
Rewatchable? Absolutely no.
Cute? Yes (only the main story IMO, tho).
