Good representation of LGBTQ+

What surprised me about this BL is that it is very realistic in terms of the social situation. Although, this setting in a weird cult-like school might seem over the top at first, it did play its role in portraying an institution that is of conservative values. I like how they included a clear divide between the school principal that was openly homophobic and allies like teacher Sani. I could relate to the struggles of Akk accepting his identity so much. The scene of him coming out to his parents was heartbreaking. The plot twist with teacher Chadok was great and unexpected, the way his character changed after everything was revealed... All in all, it encompasses the struggles and experiences of the LGBTQ+ community very well.
This said, I do have some complaints. The first half of the series is pretty boring... Nothing much is happening, there is no development of the characters as a couple, and not enough mystery to keep me entertained. Also, FirstKhao are the most switch pairing there is in Thai BL, but they still had to use the 'wife' label (although, it was kinda like a joke). The dialogue writing... I was cringing so bad in some moments that I was actually considering dropping the series.
Overall, I enjoyed the series, and I would like to thank the writer for the representation. However, I recommend watching the first half on double speed.
