"Reality" wasn't in the room with us
I couldn't see any reality, I mean, didn't we know who would be a couple, who would win, we already knew that even if they didn't win Thomas and Kong would get their own series, the only twist was Latte and Firstone.
It was nice to see them modeling and practicing their acting, but it also seemed funny that they tried to make it look like a dating show. The "romantic dinners" wasn't really romantic though, it was only awkward.
They were very nervous thought the show, these guys supposedly know each other, what is this awkward tension then? The general atmosphere of the show was strange.
While the program failed to show the real characters of the boys, it was successful in showing their talents and shortcomings. Now I know who is not a good actor, I would be happier if I didn't know.

Should have been a series.
It was obvious that they compressed this to be a movie. The story flow could not convey to us what happened. It would have been much better if it had been a series and the story had developed in a long-term manner. Also, I was expecting to be more scared while watching it, maybe that was not the purpose, so I won't talk about it much.Apart from that, I expected the characters to solve and discover the events that happened in the past throughout the movie. It was not satisfactory for one of the characters to watch the events like a movie. And it was not satisfying for the ghost woman to give up so easily. A very wrong path was followed in terms of how the story worked. The characters had to fall in love while discovering the events. Something very beautiful could have happened but it turned out something average

It's one of the most entertaining bls you'll ever see. Maybe even the most entertaining one. It's one of my favorites because it's a series that I really had a lot of fun watching. But the problem is that I watched it when it was airing and left it at episode 11. Episode 11 is a bit annoying, there isn't much going on when the plot is in the most important part, it's frustrating. Even the first half of the episode 12 is annoying. So I watched it again recently and I finished the last two episodes, but I already knew what was going on with the ending. If I didn't know what happened, I would be very angry. If I watched it without knowing while airing, I would be really REALLY angry. I don't like things with time skips and I don't like being fooled. I would to cry while watching it, for litteraly no reason.
There are some annoying points, but I would watch it over and over again because it is really fun. The story is simple but beautiful. Sometimes simple stories can turn into the best stories when done well.

This one was for me!
Yes, this series was made for me. I don't know where to start praising. First of all, I would like to thank for bringing my ideal relationship dynamic to the BL world. The relationship between King and Uea was one of the healthiest relationships you will ever see in the world of BL, even though it started off on the wrong foot. So I really don't know how to praise. First of all, I can relate to Uea very much because his personality type is very close to me so I love him so much. Whereas King is completely my ideal type. He is someone who will give princess treatment to his partner. There is no other character like him in bls, he is very original and completely made for me.There are actually very deep and dark events going on in the story , but no one wants to see them. While very dark events are happening, we are also watching a very entertaining office romance. Everything is together and completely balanced, perfect for me.
Also, it was one of my favorite parts that I could understand the actions and behaviors of both characters clearly. I didn't think anyone was acting ridiculous. I could understand both characters very well. What didn't I say? It was perfect and it was made for me.

This was personal!!!
Cause it hit me from a very personal point, I've never cried so loudly in anything I've watched or read. I don't think I'll ever experience something similar again. The series really touched me from a very personal point and deeply. It was a very good, sweet series that made my heart move until the 8th episode, and I was not expecting the slap in the face in the 8th episode. Myungha's suicide gave me goosebumps and made me gag from crying.Since I am someone who is suicidal and struggles with depression, I saw myself in Myungha. I have seen other suicidal characters, but Myungha made me feel like I was looking in the mirror, I felt her loneliness to my bones. While I was stopping the episode and crying, I was always thankful that I had my sister with me. Despite my sister, I feel so alone and once again I realized that I don't get support from anyone emotionally, if it wasn't for my sister, I would be as lonely as Myungha...
It made me think about my own life, what I have. It made me feel grateful and made me say "I still have my chance". Her saying that this life is a chance really impressed me. Myungha'a getting a second chance after committing suicide made me say to myself "You won't have such a chance in real life". It made me think that I should appreciate this chance, that is, this life of mine, and I think this is very important.
The fact that "sunbae" said "I thought if you learned to love, you would love yourself too" hit me hard. I always say that I am a "hopeless romantic", I really want to experience love, but months ago, I realized that I don't know how to love anyone because I don't love myself. And the fact that Myungha said "I want to disappear", it really made me feel like Myungha was me in another universe, because I always say this sentence when I'm at the bottom. The fact that he wrote "like minded friends" to the question about happiness and said "I want someone" while looking at the stars really destroyed me.
Myungha is the character I can relate to the most, no matter how long I write, I cannot adequately describe how the series made me feel, it also taught me a very good lesson. People who experience or feel similar things will understand me.

This was what I always dreamed of.
I watched this series about 3-4 years ago. Before discovering this series, when I saw Triple H's 365 Fresh MV and I said it should be a series and I should watch it. I wanted it so much, I wanted it so much that it came true. Years later, I found this series. I definitely think it was inspired by that MV and I am very happy about it. I remember falling in love when I first watched. It's one of my favorite Thai TV series that I can't forget it for years, but my only problem with the series is the ending. It didn't seem like a poly relationship to me and I was so angry about it. But this was years ago, I grew up and maybe my thoughts are changed. I hope to watch it again and be more satisfied later, but I'm not so sure.Was this review helpful to you?
I really tried
I really, really tried to watch it. I love firstkhao and I wanted to watch the side couple's story too, but I just can't take this seriously. The school is supposedly very strict and has tons of rules, but the only rules we see in the six episodes are the rules about wearing uniforms and not using phones. We never see the very strict rules of the school, the kids have been protesting for just one of these two rules for six episodes and they just look funny. I studied at a boarding school in high school and it was truly one of the worst experiences of my life. It was a school with really stifling rules that interfered with every minute of our lives, there was also great academic pressure on us, and I was really depressed because of school. I guess those who wrote the script do not have such experience because I cannot take what is happening in this school seriously. Of course, maybe the problem is cultural difference, but there are examples of this type of schools from all over the world.The most realistic scene of the series was the psychological violence inflicted on Ayan by the teachers. They handled it very superficially though. I know from my personal experience and from the news I have seen that although a very good series could have been created, it did not happen because they dealt with the subject too superficially. Don't people know that really terrible things can happen in schools? If the real events related to the subject being tried to be discussed here were investigated and reflected in the series, a really good work could be produced. I'm really sorry that this series could have been a masterpiece but it wasn't.
