Quite original background but boring storyline

Stupid synopsis, with girls playing the couple breakers and the lovers unable to talk with one another. Like in so many Thai dramas before P'New...
But everything else was great : the action is set in the countryside, with many traditional-style songs ; the actors are handsome, played well, sang well, and kissed with a commitment rarely seen in other Thai BL ; and a happy ending.

Overall it was nice to watch, with some irritating moments. I think these moments spoil the show but, once you know that everything is going to be ok in the end, it's easier to be patient. Hence my "review", which is more a "Don't be discouraged, it's worth a try because of its originality!" than a review. I believe I will enjoy it more when I will watch it for the second time.

P'New needs some rest

P'New is going down at an impressive rate! From marvels like LBC1 or UWMA to this! There is nothing left of the beauty of the pictures in UWMA… Nothing of the beauty of all his previous characters… Nothing of his intelligence…
The series is backward until episode 9 ; and I mean really backward, Lovesick backwards even. 9 episodes without any gay couple, plenty of straight ones, and the only two gay characters are awful jerks.

In the first part of the series Pai is in love with Itt. At least, it's what we are supposed to believe. But in episode 5, Pai let himself be kissed by a girl in front of Itt. This girl is the ex-girlfriend of Itt, and after trying to push Itt back into her, Pai is now letting the girl kiss him in order for her to agree to date Itt again…
In the 6th episode, the math teacher says to Pai that, as promised, Itt's club is going to be kicked out, and Pai just answered ครับ (OK)… Itt was eavesdropping. Needless to say that Itt's mother died in the 5th episode ; neither to add the inconsistent lie Pai and Itt just made in the previous scene (in 30 seconds time they spent the night in the classroom and just arrived early)… Is it possible to make a character more vile than Pai ? And a drama cheaper than this ?
In the second part of the series, it is Itt who is in love with Pai. He pushes him on the forefront, knowing Pai is very shy and uncomfortable in these situations… He does this because… well, because he wanted Pai to gain confidence!
Speaking about love, Pai's parents now come into play. They stumble upon their son's first kiss, and interrupt him, horrified ; then they decide to put him in another school, away from his boyfriend. But that wasn't because they are homophobes, no no, believe it or not, it was because they were worried that their son might not be strong enough to live his love in an homophobic society…
The nonsense will remain up to the very end, when Itt was hidden in Pai's parents house hoping for Pai to say that he didn't want to go to another school…
Well, as you see, P'New's filming is now backwards, uninspired and nonsensical : I would recommend a rest long enough so that he can find inspiration again, and the need to film as beautifully as he did in UWMA! I want my beloved P'New back, please…

Characters had their brain removed

They added some characters to those of season 1. All of them are servile, easily swayed, stupid, morally repulsive or boring, often all of these. There is not a single sympathetic new character. Even ancient characters have badly evolved.
At the moment I am still hoping to see Pang and Wave form a couple. But I know I am lying to myself : I feel there will be only straight couples. Still, I will continue watching hoping that I am wrong at least about this.

They added many advertisements too, for noodles or whatever.

And the plot… Is there even one ? The writers are unable to follow a subplot for more than a few minutes. There is no development, reason is out of the picture, remains only a sequence of pseudo-ideas stopped before yielding anything, ie a sequence of frustrations…

It's a shame to do so little with the actors from season 1 who are very decent despite their young age…

PS. I continued up until the end of episode 6, when the series get rid of Korn and Time. A shame, because Fiat played Korn very well. But it's hard to be sad for a character when this character has only been a traitor.
I can't bear the stupidity of the characters anymore. In season 1 they were not that stupid, except for the last episodes, but in the second season there isn't a single subplot when the characters take the right decisions up to the end.
It's so frustrating! And it was not meant to be funny ; by the way the characters are way too serious…
So I have decided to give up on my hope of seeing Pang and Wave together (anyway the series is so stupid, this couple will never exist but in my imagination).

Again, what a waste of good actors! The actors from season 1 did an excellent job (I would have liked to see more of the twins, whose characters are almost absent). I particularly enjoyed Gun and Fiat, also Nanon ; the others' characters were too monolithic to be completely interesting to play, but they were played as well as it was possible. I hope they will get interesting characters to play soon.
In fact, the actors are the only reason why I could go this far (plus my dreamed couple).
