Too messy storyline but the main pairing was great

First of all, I always skip a lot within episodes. However, in this case, it was.... excessive. I usually only skip a few seconds, but here it was up to a minute. I don't know if it was because I was watching the drama for the second time, but it didn't really manage to capture my attention.
I know that the amount of plotlines contributes to that and it also is my first point of critique. The ideas themselves are good - it's the execution that is missing. I'm not sure if I captured it correctly, but to me, the focus of the storyline is not clear. If I'm not mistaken it should be on saving the swimming club and the evolving relationship between Waii and Apo. However, I feel like other potential relationships get almost as much screentime as the main pairing. I understand that those are important as well if you want to explain the relationships between all those people but the same things could probably have been shown in half of the time. If the screenwriters and producers had put their focus a little more clear and had not decided to use literally every cliché seemingly possible this drama could have turned out a lot better than it did.
And, did they really portray rape? I'm sorry but if there are no consequences it looks like they're trying to normalize it. There hasn't been any discussion or any other consequences to the relationship between them which doesn't sit well with me. Then there also are bullying and manipulation. According to the only girl in the club, the members of the swimming club can't express their feelings well and often end up hurting people they care about because of it. Another thing that I didn't like is that the only 'lesbian' suddenly becomes bisexual. It wasn't necessary.

I think the cast did pretty well, I especially like how New portrayed Apo. I think he really shines and managed to convey Apo's feelings well. The chemistry between Waii and Apo seems to be quite good as well after the first two quite awkward episodes. For the others, their performances weren't outstanding but still okay.

I got to say that I didn't really pay attention to the music. What often threw me off are little audio breaks whenever there is a cut to another scene. I'm not sure if this only happens because I need new headphones or if it really is the case, but it always strikes me as odd if I don't hear any sound at all.

About the rewatch value: I was re-watching it right now because I had forgotten about literally everything except for "Thai bl drama swimming pool", and I got to admit, that's probably all I will remember after rewatching it. So I guess that the re-watch value isn't too high.
