One of the first popular Thai BL dramas, but doesn't hold up as well today

NO-SPOILER REVIEW

Before watching this series, keep in mind that it was one of the first Thai BL dramas ever made. Because it was a pioneer during its time, certain stylistic conventions hadn't been developed yet, so some parts may feel off compared to more current BL dramas. Other dramas owe a lot to this drama for helping the BL genre take off. For those who watched it when it first came out, they remember it very fondly. For those of us who are watching it after the fact, it may not hold up without the nostalgia factor. I wanted to like this series but unfortunately, it left a lot to be desired.

Pros
- The series portrays relationships between characters in a relatively realistic and mature way. No drama for drama's sake.
- The cast is good and the acting is on-point.

Cons
- The overall pacing is very slow. Multiple scenes could have been condensed. The overall development of the relationship takes a very long time to develop.
- It was a bit hard for me to believe that the main couple would have feelings for each other given the types of interactions they had on screen.
- There is a heavy focus on college hazing that ends up dominating the series. This becomes very tiresome and repetitive and can be off-putting for some.
- Potential side couples/relationships weren't ever really developed.

Overall
- Most fans of this series seem to love it for being one of the first big Thai BL dramas. It's still an ok series worth watching today, but unfortunately, it just doesn't hold up to other modern series.
