I will be a bit contrary to many here and say I kinda liked this series, it was a light and quick watch. It wasn't too cuddly or overly sexual, and it wasn't dark, abusive, or heavy. It feels very much like a 2017 era BL series, and that is OK by me if done right. However, this series suffers very badly from the subtitles, and maybe from a few flaws in the story, and/or maybe the directing and editing.

Lets start with the subtitles. They messed up pretty much every pronoun. They instead of me, you instead of I, we instead of me, they didn't get even one right in this series. Then they couldn't decide on the spelling of the names of the characters, which often changed throughout the series and even within the same episode. Calling the girl "necklace" instead of Soi, which I think is the literal 1:1 translation of that name, but not the intended outcome of translation. It makes it so hard to watch, and you have to re-translate things in your head while you are watching and listening. By the second or third episode, I had caught on to their mistakes, and could fix it in my head to mostly make sense.

If you like tropes, then OH BOY this story is 𝙛𝙞𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙙 with them. The sick mother. A group of engineering students with the grumpy and cold older head student. The "I'm straight, and only gay for you" thing. Work-study trips to help poor village children. Misunderstandings galore. The next to last episode curse where the leads won't talk to each other and don't know why they are arguing. The only thing missing is the white truck of death.

The story is a bit thin in places, and I think they dwelled too long on certain elements like how Pluem is a cold hearted jerk and his weird fascination with a girl who clearly is over the whole relationship. I probably will never understand why Pluem's friends didn't sit down with him back in High School 15 relationships ago and say "hey buddy, you know that you are being a jackass, you might want to tone it down". I won't disagree with anyone who says the story could have been better written and edited in general. But it wasn't probably ever meant to be a complex story filled with twists and turns, it was probably supposed to be a basic 𝘧𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘯 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 story.

I said this in the comment section, but what type of crazy person wears high-heels and a skirt on a jungle work expedition? Girl was trying too hard to be a temptress, and play the helpless victim to get her a man. I would have told that chick to march her own ass up that mountain trail. How did they even let her on the bus dressed that way?

I wish they would have put some of the stuff that the actors said in the behind the scenes into the storyline. Like Pluem's parents, for example. That would have filled in some big gaps in the storyline, and explained the actions of the character. Instead, we learn about it after the series ended.

Continuity and editing is pretty poor at times, for example the dog that Pluem brings home is a big white fluffy Malamute or Chow, and the puppy is a tan Pomeranian.

Parts of the ending was a bit odd as well, we get some potential side couple love confessions, but then cut right to behind the scenes with no apparent resolution to those confessions. Even a simple acceptance/rejection of the proposal would have worked, or maybe that did happen but the subtitles messed it up?

I think the acting was mostly good. The twins are hot as well as 𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘣𝘭𝘦 and Suea is cute as a button and funny. Most of these are beginner actors, or in their first series, and they did good considering that. I liked the contrast between the soft and almost feminine Prod compared to the barking and rough Pluem. That said, Kimmon sure doesn't like intimacy. To me, he almost looks uncomfortable at times, and I suspect part of why the girls got a love scene while the leads did not.
