Wanted to add something to my original review.
I'm totally shipping Arthit and Kong pop.
The more I see of Singto I feel he's so cute when he's on variety shows! So I'm shipping both Krist Singto and Arthit Kong pop lmao
That said while I found the romance of Sotus really good, I still stand by my original thoughtson Singtos acting and the idea of hazing.

I have so much to say about this one.

But first off those last two episodes were so good! I love every moment between Arthit and Kongpop, everything from the pink milk to Arthit switching their foods, and the "cog" as the heart was just adorable! I love their sense of humor and that scene at the bridge was just SO GOOD.

Skinship wise this is a REAL SLOW BURN okay. Even when it happens there's not much proper skinship which made it feel like a teen show. The kissing was barely anything more than a peck. I feel like it would have benefited from more but still whatever. Not a deal breaker.


Because on one hand I'm totally in love with Arthit and their moments, they were so so good but on the other hand the premise is so ridiculous it really hampered my viewing pleasure.

First off, this is the dictionary definition of Hazing:

haze
/he?z/Submit
verb
gerund or present participle: hazing

force (a new or potential recruit to the military or a university fraternity) to perform strenuous, humiliating, or dangerous tasks.

Hazing is NOT A GOOD thing.

See, I love seeing all those weird tropes in fiction I wouldn't ever want in real life. Stalker tropes, non con, etc. I saw ADDICTED and despite that non con scene I was in love with Gu Hai and Bai Luo Yin! Mostly because Gu Hai knew he was nuts, he was obsessed! He said it himself, he didn't even expect Luo Yin to forgive him let alone rationalize what he did!

But the problem is not with showing that kind of passion in fiction but the problem is in not realizing that it's abuse and non consent. That's why SOTUS bothered me so much. They kept acting like hazing was something positive lol ugh NO.

I would have just preferred to have Arthit be abusive bully and it could have been a story about peer pressure and problems at home, the reason so many students bully everywhere in the world and they could have fallen in love regardless like ADDICTED. If you've seen Bad Romance this is why I freaking love Knock and Korn, just watch their interaction, they literally come to blows that's how angry and passionate they get but never rationalize hitting someone!

So now that's out of the way, let's get on to the other aspects of the show.

First off, Krist played Arthit and he constantly reminded me of Suga, he does resemble him a bit but it was more than that, it was his attitude too, typical tsundere with a genuinely adorable and sweet soft side.

Singto played Kongpop and I love that he was assertive and not a pushover despite having a good heart. But I was disappointed by Singto's performance tbh he's handsome and all, but his facial expressions remain the same in every scene! Does he not have any real life experiences to draw on? Either that or he's too immature atm.

But I would definitely watch the next season even if it's mostly for Krist and a BL story line. It was entertaining and I think you should see it but it's not my favorite. As for the supporting cast M deserves a special mention but generally all the support cast was appealing. I liked that there were no slapstick annoying characters.

Btw despite the faults of the premise I would have rated it a ten if Singto's expressions weren't so woody all the time. So, I'm confused about shipping them atm. I kind of ship them but mostly I ship Arthit! I hope Singto gets better in the next season.
