TBH I had heard about this series a year ago (I think?) and I did wait for the series after loving the book, but I wasn't particularly that invested in this series as I was with the other series that were also released in this quarter.

But to be fair, once I got started, I felt like this was a breather after all the heavy drama that the recent Thai BL dramas that came out had us all grabbing for our undies for.
There was no toxic, homophobic parents.
There was no gender prejudiced public
There was no phenomenal, dramatic plot twists and mind-boggling climax... and yet the plot progression was still hooking the viewers in the most fluffy way possible, and by no means boring.
I also love the main lead's parental influences to be so open-minded and wise and still gave us the childish coupley character that you can't help but adore...
it was all fluffy and lemony and although not a perfect portrayal of reality, logic and common sense, it was a much needed breather from all those heavy BL tropes.

The acting was average. but appropriate enough for the type of energy the series was trying to go about... I just felt a little iffy about the acting of the one who played Por... he felt stiff with his character emotion-wise.

Fame can work on his crying expressions, since it felt forced at times... he did good, his sad scenes did make me cry but the wailing made it sound like he's pretending to cry (I mean, he is, since he's acting, but) I mean, it ruins the build up of emotion from an audience's stand point, so I think he can definitely work on it. But other than that Fame did a very good job! His acting was moving and relatable.

Fluke also did an exceptional job on acting, his eyes really draws you to the emotion that's being portrayed. And, good lord, his dimple smile is lethal. Not to mention his visuals, it just becomes a national crime when he smiles (p//v//q) staaahp... Of course, he wasn't just looks, his acting was just as good as his looks. No doubt.

Also it would've been nice if their kiss was a little deeper than just the touching of lips, but the intimacy was not diminished nevertheless... They probably wanted to stick on the kind of romanticism from the book, or are not comfortable enough to take it a step further, which I totally understand... It didn't make the scenes any less romantic anyway so it's forgivable, I guess ~

The sound engineering and OSTs also helped a lot in the entire series. It helped build up tension, emotion and even emphasis on scenes than neede to be emphasized. There was no dull, awkwards moment because the bgm and effects make up for it...

In conclusion, this was cliché but it was a very captivating
