Frustrating

It's a nostalgic look back at high school in 2002 rural Thailand. Sappy melodrama with gay kids. I like the nostalgic way it's filmed, the actors are mostly fine (Nut's brother is not as good).

Nut and Phob like each other secretly but do not communicate well, and when Phob has to move away he doesn't tell Nut why, he's just suddenly gone. They both have crushes on each other but refuse to tell each other. Phob especially barely speaks, and Nut reacts appropriately but then feels guilty later when he finds out the real reasons.

This is trying to be so much more than it is able. Not well enough written or acted. Pales in comparison to similar-setting ITSAY. None of this feels natural except the cinematography, not the conversations in person or in writing. First 5 episodes are very slow moving, but then the last 3 episodes nothing happens, almost literally nothing. And then it was over - I kept waiting for the next episode but it was over? Weird. So basically there are 5 episodes with plot and then 3 episodes without plot and the end.
