Beautiful story and acting, but has some flaws

To make myself clear, I really loved the series and the acting. First let's talk about the good things

1)Acting

Gun was amazing in the first half of the story. He portrayed third and his agony so well. I felt his pain and helplessness. I also felt very torn and angry when Khai played a trick on him to test him. I was broken when he confessed his love in front of the camera. Wow...just wow❤️❤️ Though in the later half, I have to admit, I was quite annoyed with him but that's a different discussion. Off....my oh my...the guy is a genius in portraying an asshole. I wanted to punch him so bad esp when he knew Third's feeling and still kissed him to hurt him. I was extremely angry and wanted to kick him in the balls (that's just the testament to how good he acted) Mike did a good job with this guy in love with a teacher (come on admit it, it's a bit of a guilty pleasure😉) I have always loved White since lovesick series but Earth and White's coupling was somehow more interesting and touching to me than really the main couple (sorry am a sucker for side couples)

2) Music

This has to be my Favorite OST after Lovesick/LBC ost, UWNA ost and DBK ost. It was so good. It hit you right on the feels and it was placed in such correct moments that you would tear up because how the music made you feel

3) Different setting

Finally, a series with no engineering or doctor as the background. God, I was getting tired of engg and doctor background. This had a fresh background of film students and the bonding over making the short movies. The different setting made the story a little more interesting esp when Khai started pursuing Third!!

4) Friendship

I was truly happy to see the four guys frdship. It was not the perfect one but it was heart felt. They were supportive, caring and very real. The male bonding other than love was so well depicted not just between White, Mike, Off and Gun but also between Earth and Gun, Gun and the president of drama club, also the president of drama club and Earth. It was so heart warming not cheesy neither exaggerated. Really loved all the male bondings.

5) Character development

One of the things that thai bl lack a lot is properly creating a character arc. But here all the characters had an arc and it was so well depicted. Third had an arc, khai had an arc, Un had an arc, Earth had an arc, Mike had an arc and they were not messy but slowly revealed. I liked how the characters grew and changed as the time went on. Khai's was the biggest development but I particularly liked Un's development as it showed how true feelings can change a person's heart naturally.

Even with all the above great points, there were some really annoying issues as well

1) Third in 2nd half:

I know EVERYONE FELT SORRY for third even I did but people tend to forget that Khai had no idea third was in love with him so his actions were not meant to hurt him except when he did discover the truth and used Praw to hurt Third so that Third would give up. But in the 2nd half third was being plain mean. He knew how khai felt but didn't believed him and was being a complete jerk. Plus, towards the end he became annoying and boring. Sorry it is my personal opinion so don't come at me. I just felt Third just got annoyingly bitchy at the end

2) No time to other plots

When you can't properly give time to other plots then don't put so many plots. I wanted to know more about how White and Earth came to like each other and also how Earth started to like him and how he and Gun became frds. Same for Mike and teacher thing (though I gotta admit, they still managed to do some justice to it) Same for Un and the girl he liked. So many plots but barely any time to fit in all. The director still did much better job than many other dramas but still I felt too many plots were introduced but not well explored


3) Slow first half

This is just nit picking but I felt that till ep 7 the story was TOO SLOW. Third was going on being hurt by Khai and Khai was going on ignoring Third's feeling and round and round it went. I just think that portion could have been shrunk in 4 eps and rather used to show some side characters story development.

That's about all. It was a good drama to watch and enjoy. The first half might feel a bit draggy n painful but please bear it, coz it's worth it. Highly recommended!! Thank you.
