Elongated
*outline*I really support the message of the story and what was trying to be portrayed to the audience indirectly. The drama was very motivating, especially to those who feel insecure about themselves. This is one of the reasons I really liked the drama. I actually learnt a few things from this drama so I definitely recommend this to anyone and everyone.
*thorough*
STORY : The story had a touch of cliche feelings, but it was also unexpected because the fact that everything was being played out was in a way I hadn't seen before. Sun and In were a bit obvious though... but I didn't mind because I liked the pair anyways. I wasn't very favorable of Oh and Peach's ship from the beginning even though I knew they were the main ship. I've just watched way too many BL's, so I shipped Oh with Pong majority, if not all, of the time. The pacing would seem a little slow while watching the drama, but once you've watched the whole thing you may realize every scene was worth the time and wait. At least, I felt that way.
ACTING/CAST : Oh's character being so complex and compound was actually played quite beautifully. I wasn't expecting his character to be so deep with a backstory. Most would brush this off, thinking nothing much of it but this remained in my memory. Usually, the audience would just talk about Oh's feelings he portrays physically/verbally, but the fact he had to deal with so much and come out of his shell must've been so difficult for him. I say this hypothetically, but honestly that was the most beautiful part about this whole drama so this will be at the top of my list for a while. The other actors also did well, but Oh stuck to me.
MUSIC : I didn't really like the songs in MDL Edge of 17... They're not the type of songs I listen to, anyways. But they did set the mood and managed to make me empathize with the story and the actors so...
REWATCH VALUE : I'm not sure whether I'd rewatch this but because it's such a good drama I'll leave the rewatch value a little high. This isn't the sort of drama you can finish off in a day, but it's nice to watch an episode or two a day, unless you become addicted like me and end up watching like half the drama within a day...
*p.s.*
I would definitely recommend this to a friend, whether an old Thai drama enthusiast or a new one. I don't usually watch straight Thai dramas because I can no longer watch straight dramas normally... but this one proved otherwise. If it's really good, I would watch it.
*recommendations*
'Together With Me' is similar in the way, it has straight and BL couples, but it does focus on BL. Unfortunately I don't watch straight dramas, so this is the only one I can think of to recommend.

Liked it but not Loved it
It did like this drama but I didn't love it. I started watching it because of Nanon, he is one of my favorite Thai Actors and for that I wanted to watch this one too. I don't usually like school dramas with bullying and so I had a hard time at the beginning but after our Main leads became friends and stood up for themselves I started to like it more.My favorite characteres of the show are Sun & Ainam but I also really liked Oh. I had my problems with Peach and also In even though I started to understand him a bit more later on. I hated Copper and his gang.
Which keeped me going on this drama was for sure the growing friendsship, how I wished I had such supportive friends when I was still at school. Also loved when Oh came accors the Bikers, these were also some of my favorite scenes.
I was fine with the ending, espcially like the scene were Sun & In talked it out in the shopping center, that was really cute. I just felt sad that Ainam didn't get anyone at the end, I wished she would also found someone.
I might re-watch some of my favorite scene but don't think I'll rewatch the whole drama.

It's a good example that if you believe that you can then there's no ''I can't'' allowed.

bullying inferior students on basis of their looks and personality manily can be seen in these genre and in this too.
copper who changes later into good boy it seems like life and experience of failure and success make us(teenagers) mature to accept evrything wether related to personal life, social life.physical aspect,or ones sexual orintation.
AINUM. is like angel in this whole drama who understands her feelings and can guide her frends for good path that is how he make IN undrstand the real meaning of having crush on someone or loving someone not as attraction but living a moments of life with ur love ones.
princess PEACH also who finally gets her happiness with the right person .
Thank you so much for this drama ;___;. At first, I wasn't really into it, cause I had a hard time for liking Oh, and his love interest didn't interest me that much. I just kept watching because of Sun (this boy is too sweet) and In, even if at that time I never thought they will end up together though I wanted that (but since this drama didn't have the classic BL vibe, I thought it would be just a bromance at best). but i need
More on team inxsun for season two? . BUT IN THIS IN IS NOT GAY HE JUST LOVE SUN AND TO BE WITH HIM AND HE IS STILL FINDING HIS FEELINGS FOR SUN BEST OF LUCK FOR HIM THAN HAHAH

Story - I thought the story was good, it was interesting to watch and the pace was at a good speed.
Acting/cast - I rated it a 10 stars because I feel as though the chemistry between Insun, the bl couple was amazing. The way they drew me in, the way they teased each other, it was so natural...I will just say there was a cafeteria scene with them when they were teasing each other and the directors said it wasn't part of the script. Sun's acting I have to say stood out for me a lot, it was really good.
Even the main couple, I think the casting was good, I liked everyone in this drama which made it more enjoyable.
Music - The theme song was pretty good.
Rewatch Value - I have already re-watched the show but just the bl cut and I can see myself rewatching this show again. Their chemistry was out of this world.
A season 2 with Insun would be amazing. But if you are on the fence with this I will say give it a go, it's quite good.

Bullies and other suffering
This series made me go from angry to sad to happy back to angry and this several times. Yelling at the screen to either speak tf up already, walk away or grab the boy. Which ever suited best at that particular scene. It was not so much the bullying itself that got me twisted, it was the utter cowardice and disregard of the onlookers and especially the FL. This girl needs some assertiveness lessons. Pfew. I cannot understand why Oh never really calls her out on this.Characters are on the whole a bit one-dimensional, but thats the kind of story this is.
The BL couple SunInn left me in pain. Sun got the short end of the stick for sure, settling for dating without real commitment from Inn, while being so very much in love. The scene in the bed left me in tears. So painful. Needless to add that there are plenty of feels here, but certainly not all good ones.
SO to the OST, the music was very well suited for every scene. Its a shame I couldnt find an OST album on my streaming app.
Greatest disappointment was the utter lack of skinship. 1 (yes, ONE) kiss ON THE CHEEK fcol. I felt a bit cheated in that department.

Surprisingly disappointing
First, let's start with the good things: I really like how Sun and Ainam were written, they were my favorites. Nanon and Chimon were good actors. And I liked the music.If you here for the BL, don't bother. While InSuns story was realistic, it just wasn't good. There was something missing. At first it seemed like we would get a enemies-to-lovers, but this gets resolved in 10 min and then they are just friends. Don't get me wrong, I love a good friends-to-lovers, but this isn't it. And wtf was In thinking- I get that he was confused, but come on that was just an asshole move. Eventually it just got boring and the ending was unsatisfying (In didn't even explained ANYTHING). The love triangle was ok, at times I couldn't tell who In really likes and considering who he really liked his actions didn't make sense at times. I didn't ship InSun in the end.
I was here for Nanon and unlike most watchers I didn't hate Oh, he was cute at times but I just couldn't feel bad for him. He didn't annoyed me but I didn't cared about him. And about the bulling: It was realistic because nobody took it seriously or did something to stop it. However, it was handled as a joke so that bothered me a bit.
About Peach: Oh deserves better. Peach is like "My boyfriend is bullying a friend of mine, that's annoying :(((" like it's about her. I don't understand why she didn't leave Copper instantly. (Copper is just your average bully, his whole personality is "I like violence and I have an massive ego") Besides being pretty and annoying Peach doesn't have a personality, especially when compared with Ainam. Is it so hard to write a good female lead...
In conclusion I think that it had potential but it just got worse and worse. If Peach was better written this could be so much better. And what disappointed me the most is that they didn't went through with the enemies-to-lovers with InSun it had so much potential.

Eh
There were definitely some shining stars in this series (namely Nanon and Chimon), but on the whole this show fell very flat for me. Most of the characters felt very unlikable, and the characters that I actually enjoyed (Pong and his friends) didn’t get nearly enough screen time. I wasn’t a huge fan of either of the romances, though I have less complaints about the BL romance.To start, the bullying aspect of the story was really hard to watch— the first few episodes made me so sad every time Oh or Sun were bullied, though thankfully this was toned down some after a while (with the episode four debacle as an exception). I know I should have expected the bullying, but I just wasn’t prepared for how intense it got in places.
As far as the acting goes, I was SO impressed by Nanon’s performance in this series. Every other role I’ve seen him in so far has been much more stoic and serious, so seeing the differences in his mannerisms, his expressions, and how animated he portrays Oh was so fun. It really showed what a versatile actor he is. He plays into Oh’s awkwardness and the comedy of the show very well. Chimon also gave a very good performance, especially when it came to the soft looks and the subtle heartbreak later in the series. Otherwise, the other actors didn’t really stick out at all. They weren’t bad, but they weren’t amazing, either.
As for the romances, I was initially very hesitant about In and Sun’s relationship, mostly because In starts out bullying Sun. I’m not a fan of bully romances, but fortunately this situation changes very quickly and In spends much more time being Sun’s friend than his bully. The love triangle that formed here was kind of odd to me, but I do love me some pining so that part was pretty enjoyable. In and Sun are definitely not one of my favorite couples, but they were pretty cute.
When it came to Peach and Oh’s relationship, I had such a hard time rooting for them because I could not like Peach. She was so complicit in Copper bullying Oh: allowing Copper to force Oh— someone she considers a friend— to do her homework, and even just standing by while Copper very physically bullies him. I swear, if my boyfriend did something like Copper did in the fourth episode, he would have been dumped so fast his head would spin! And yet, Peach doesn’t even appear to care about it until multiple episodes later. Like, she knows Copper bullies Oh for spending time with her, and then goes out of her way to invite him to hang out? I just could not sympathize with her at all because of all this. I would have preferred she not know about Copper’s bullying— or at least the extent of it— and then break up with him once she learned about it. That could have at least made her somewhat likable.

I gave this series a rate of 1. Reason behind this rating is that I really hate when there is bullying and was never addressed. The story wanted to tell the viewers that it is OK to bully someone in school and nobody cares about it, students and school faculty alike.
