tl;dr? Every episode starts out with an introduction basically telling you not to take the series too seriously because the show is supposed to be for fun, and, honestly, I recommend going into every episode with that idea because it's actually super enjoyable~

PLOT:

It's a bit over the place and entirely chaotic, but I still found myself smiling. The entire show is introduced with the idea of not taking it seriously, and I think that's how it should be viewed: it's just some silly show meant to be funny, and, during these times, I really think that's something that's super important. That being said, there are a LOT of Thai cultural jokes in it, and a LOT of references to other BLs. I would honestly compare it to the "Scary Movies" of BLs--while they're not necessarily making fun of BLs, there's definitely a plethora of BL references in it like you would find a plethora of horror movies referenced in "Scary Movies." So far, I've seen references from Make It Right, Why RU, and several others, and it makes my day~

ACTING:

To be honest, I started this show because I saw Lay had a main role, and I love him as King in "My Engineer," so I decided to check it out while I waited for another episode of "My Engineer." Of course, Lay's acting in this is just as good as in "My Engineer," and I'm actually impressed with P'Yoon (who plays Nott) too. Honestly, the whole cast is great and over-the-top, and it's awesome~

OST:

Like the plot, the OST is all over the place (in a good way, I swear). Sometimes, there's piano and acoustic guitars for a "serious" scene, but then it'll switch to some vocalized music almost immediately when someone does something stupid. Also, because it has several BL scenes featured in it, there's a lot of other OSTs from other BLs in it as well, including Why RU's OST, which just makes it that much better, especially since I really enjoyed Why RU's OST.

PRODUCTION:

I haven't watched very many Thai sitcoms, so I don't want to get too far into this just yet, but, so far, I enjoy it. As mentioned above, there are a LOT of Thai cultural jokes, so it can be hard to follow if you're not familiar with little Thai things, but I don't think it takes away from the cute, nonsensical plot they've got going on so far~

OVERALL:
I'm pleasantly surprised with this series, and I'm excited for the next episode~ For something that was just supposed to be a "passing time" thing, I'm actually invested into the chaotic storyline they've got going on. It's great~
