This is NOT a BL/Romance/Getting together
You can se my individual reviews are high but the overall is low, in comparison; that's because I personally really liked it but at the end of the day this is a review for people that haven't watched the show, and there's a big chance you're disappointed.
Normally BLs have 2 main characters, and they're the main relationship; and have other side stories (most of the time other side relationships). That doesn't happen here, this isn't a story about Tian and Phupha starting a relationship, it's Tian's story about personal growth.
Story:
The relationship between Tian and Phupha is a side story, I found it interesting and sweet but I must warn you, it is VERY slow paced. It's also the only romance story, so you don't really see couples being couples. They do have romantic scenes, but they're mostly longing (wanting something but not being able to have it), even when both know the other likes them. They do have a reason to not act towards their feelings, despite knowing the other person feels the same. So depending if you like angst or not you may like it. I loved it, but I can see people that disagree.
If the relationship isn't the main story, what is it? Tian's character development. The entire series is about him, and everything that happens is to improve him as a person. His relationships (romantic, family and friendships) are enjoyable and sweet. I liked all the characters, however besides Tian (and Phupha in a much smaller account) no one has much of a character development.
Acting:
It's good, not over dramatic, the way they speak and their gestures feel natural.
Music:
Good, I liked the way they also used covers by actors of the series, specifically Aye Sarunchana (Torfun) and Earth (Phupha).
Rewatch value:
I enjoyed the series, on a personal level would give it a 9/10 but I honestly would only rewatch Tians and Phupha's scenes. Or rewatch the entire series with someone, but not on my own.
Should you watch it?
I do recommend it, but see it as the story of a guy that beats death and doesn't know what his meaning in life is, so he goes to look for it. In the process he accepts his life is valuable, and has always been, and that he shouldn't let others (his parents) live through him.
