SKYNANI'S CHEMISTRY PROVES THEIR HIGH CAPACITY AS ACTORS

SKYNANI IS OBVIOUSLY THE MAIN REASON WHY I LIKE THIS SERIES SO MUCH. Their chemistry is insanely good. That is what adds quality to this show. But not only that, the conflicts, the cast, cinematography.
AND HERE ARE MORE DETAILS:

SKYNANI’S VISUALS
They’re both dead gorgeous. Nani’s cute and handsome at the same time, his eyes are absolutely stunning. He has this elegant and mysterious vibe, while Sky’s handsome and cool, but also well-built, and has this positive aura about himself. The fact that they resemble a cat and a dog makes it even better. They seem to be completing each other. And this, however, contributes to me thinking that they are a perfect match and are ideal for having the roles of Saint and Shin.

SKYNANI’S ACTING/CHEMISTRY
Not only are their visuals extremely breath-taking, but also their acting skills. Their chemistry is off the charts! The way they look at each other is so beautiful. The way they convey their feelings through their eyes is simply brilliant. In their “love-hate” relationship shown in the couple of first episodes, you can clearly see how much Shin’s suffering when the topic of the past SaintShin’ friendship is raised. And that emotion is excellently reflected in Nani's eyes. It’s the same while showing anger. And it's not only his eyes. It's also his sighs and overall body language that depicts him being uncomfortable, deeply wounded or simply in pain. His contemptuous smirks were great too. But when Nani smiles, oh my, he shines so brightly. Similarly, Sky’s puppy-face-like expressions seem more than suitable for portraying Saint’s feelings of deep regret for what he did to Shin in the past. It's also likewise, when he’s tearing up for the mentioned reasons. But him acting angry is something else.
Back to the topic of chemistry, I must say, every time they look at each other, it gives me butterflies. You can feel that tension between them. And although it's labeled as a bromance, the 'more than friends' feels accurate too. That's how good their chemistry is. I mean, If they did not need to kiss, and the chemistry is still chemistrying hard, then that only proves the capacity of the actors. Everyone can tell that there's love between SaintShin. What a beautiful bond!

PLOT
Firstly, I need to say that I haven’t watched the original ‘School 2013’ that this series is based on, so I have no comparison whatsoever. But it doesn't change the fact that I truly adore ‘High School Frenemy’. The story unfolds gradually and slowly. I really enjoy that. The whole SaintShin' situation touches the heart. Shin’s frustration and Saint's determination is totally understandable. Both of them have been deeply hurt. You get to know their own perspectives of their conflict. Their bond is immensely beautiful. You get to witness some sweet moments too. And there is also this Jeng and Ken issue that needs to be resolved. Ken's story is truly distressing. People in such difficult situations often think that there is no way out, and it's totally understandable. During the series, several times appears the theme of trying to help someone who doesn't want to accept your help. I know it can be very exasperating for both sides. Sometimes it is really problematic to reach a mutual understanding. The same goes for the motive of overcontrolling parents that also occurs in the show. Both parents and kids can be gunuinely hurt, when this type of matter arrives.The whole series is packed with all kinds of feelings. I'm telling you, just watch it already!

PRODUCTION
In most Thai series the cinematography is on point and here it wasn't otherwise. However, when it comes to fighting scenes, some of the camera angles weren't the best choice. It could be improved. But those are literally the tiniest flaws that could be found. They're nothing compared to the overall series. The scenography was good. All the school uniforms, classrooms and other shooting locations were rather pleasing to the eye. As for the music, in some cases it was okay, in some it could be better, but it could be worse also. Nevertheless I really enjoyed the intro. It suits the character of the series well. And the SkyNani' ‘Promise’ song is really cute.

CONCLUSION
I'm really grateful for this series and obviously for pairing SkyNani together. I love their dynamic so much. Nice plot, great actors, everyone did a great job and what are you doing, still reading this review, go watch the series right now, and if you already did, you can always rewatch it! Can't wait for upcoming SkyNani projects! 😭💖

Sending positive energy to everyone who's reading it 💕
