It's a good series overall

Don't get me wrong, I liked the series, I liked the actors and I even liked the flaws that the show has... is just that I don't feel like it is one of the greatest shows ever as a lot of people usually say. So, to understand why I'm hesitant about it, please read.

Well, let's be honest, it wasn't the best story among alls, actually, there are a lot of flaws since the very beginning. My first complaint was that they don't show Tine responding to Green's confession, so I couldn't understand if Tine was a push-over, if he had an issue saying "no" to people -weird thing since he had to break up with his ex, so it means that he can be straightforward sometimes-, or another particularity of his personality. I forgive that flaw and continue with the show.

When we see their first interaction with Sarawat, somehow I get that Wat was into Tine (I didn't need to read the spoilers, it was kinda obvious), what I never understood was why he was so stubborn about talking with Tine, and after we learn that he was looking for him since the very beginning, that doubt was reinforced. Yes, I know he was kinda shy to finally met him, but, come on... Tine was following you on a bicycle, you could just pull over there and hear him.

The story goes on, they start to interact, I started to realize he was more into him than I expected, I found pretty interesting their dynamic and how Tine little-by-little started to notice Wat as a man and not just as a fake boyfriend.

The acting wasn't outstanding but it has a lot of peaks for some characters:
- When Tine cries because he couldn't finish the song,
- Wat's excitement to finally found Tine (I have to admit that I wanted to go into the screen and hug and kiss Wat when he was jumping so happy about founding him),
- how Man managed being insulted in Type's dinner (I wanted to kick them too),
- and Phukong crying in the bench after asking Mil to not see him; just to name some.

The storyline, I insist, wasn't the best among all, still entertaining. I think that one of their most remarkable things is actually that; the story was soft, easy to watch, and easy to follow, but that doesn't make a great series, if so, a good one. But, that's just my opinion.

The characters were so diverse that I found some interesting, others entertaining, others disgusting, and some just unbearable.

** I have to admit that I dislike how Green was so after Tine even when he made clear that he didn't like Green (and after we realize that he was just using Tine, that was worst.) buuuuut I also dislike how Man was so haunted because of Type, for me they both were in the same line, just that a lot of people loved "Man" and disliked "Green". For me, both behaviors were just too much.
After Green went back with Dim I found funny their relationship because is pretty common to see people acting like that in real life hahahaha and after Man got to be with Type, I realize that they were cute together. But, the path to it, was disgusting.

About Tine and Wat's relationship, I have to admit that I have never had a problem with the lack of kisses or skinship in Thai dramas, actually, I enjoyed more the couple dynamic than other things. For example:
- I got pleased by seeing Wat and Tine ignoring the yellow tape so they could eat together when Type went to their place,
- how they cuddle in the coach to sleep together,
- and when they look to each other's eyes.

For me, the lack of kisses meant nothing at all. What I couldn't understand was the whole drama about Pam, I know, they needed to extend one or two chapters of the series, but, it was just plain stupid, but it is what it is, so I can't complain too much hahahahaha

In the end, I get to understand Tine's low steam and why sometimes he acted the way he did.

Overall, I still believe that it was a good show, but couldn't find the "greatness" that I read over the Internet...
