It's a mess
I don't even know what happened. The timeline of the series is very hard to follow, so I am not really sure what events happened first nor what followed. The series opens with an interogation scene, but by the end of the series I wasn't even sure how many people (if any) are actually dead. Was it all just one case or were there multiple deaths? So what excatly happened before, during and after investigation? This is what I mean by confusing and hard to follow timeline.
As for the couples, there wasn't really any chemistry between them. Maybe I just didn't see it, but the "relationships" appeared very cold, distant. Ken and Shogun were not a good match, sadly I think the same about Matteo and Shogun as well. Their relationship seemed kind of creepy to me, and that has nothing to do with BDSM part (which was done very poorly), it's just their dynamics and how it all started. Burger and King were boring, I don't even know what were they at the end. Saint and Hida are confusing as well, I really don't know what to think about them. The whole stepbrothers who grew up together was a bit too close of a family relationship for my liking (even if they are not blood related).
As for the worst character in the whole series, I must say the teacher. The comments from the teacher were absolutely awful from the first episode forward, but what was said to / about Pimtha later in the series really made my blood boil. When such comments are made towards young, vulnerable teens who are still looking for their place in the world, the damage they can cause is inmeasurable.
Another major concern is the age of the actors for me. They are all very young, many were only 15-16 during the filming of the series. I know this was supposed to be a high school drama, but an older and more mature cast would be a better choice for a series dealing with such important and complicated issues that were (kind of poorly) adressed in the series.
I feel like 6 episodes is both too little and too mcuh - it was hard to get through it all, it felt like it would never end (I made it half way, so I was finishing in hopes of improvement), but it also felt kind of rushed and choppy as there was way too much going one and way too many characters and relationships to squeeze them all into such a short series. They are planning for season 2, so there is not really much to be said about the ending as they left pretty much everything open and to be continued in the next season.
