the uncut version is superior

Overall: though this is based on a book which has 2 other live action adaptations, I am reviewing this on its own merits. That being said, I think some fans of the book and original adaptation will not like a few changes that the creators have made as they fundamentally changed 1 character which changes the dynamic. Airing 10 episodes about 1 hour long on WeTV (need to VPN to Thailand, cut version & uncut version https://wetv.vip/en/album/pgahblq3qny0xuz) and YouTube cut https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqQkseRPA8d53_Hg0wnBlDFwNtFBw6xo3&si=rpt7pbo4KhLJoAoj You can tell you are watching the uncut version if ep 1 starts at a fancy event in a flash forward. The cut version starts with a bunch of students taking an exam.

Content Warnings (uncut): non con kissing/biting, fight, bullying, drugging, abusive parent/violence

What I Liked
- visuals (i.e. working out scene)
- countryside setting
- sweet moments
- production value (especially how the opening scene transitioned into the flashback, however it needs better transitions overall)

Room For Improvement
- the cut version is taking out key relationship development between both couples so the uncut is the better version to watch
- choppy (even the uncut), it quickly jumps from one scene to the next
- only 2 guys seemed to get punished after meeting with the principal
- 1 sided bullying (but it didn't last long)
- one of the worst/most confusing releases I've ever seen, the youtube channel that released episode 1 was different from the channel that released episode 0, no subtitles even though there were supposed to be and then the subtitled cut version was removed from youtube shortly after it was available to watch, 1 week later ep 1 and 2 cut were back up with subtitles

Note About Actors' Ages (I didn't take off points for this but as an fyi, 1 actor was 16 when he filmed this, the other lead actors' ages were: 26, 17 & 18; age of majority in Thailand is 20)
- from the source material and as shown in the series, the characters are the same age, they start in high school and it appears there will be a time jump at some point in the series
- although there is a cut and an uncut version, right now we have no idea if/how explicit scenes will get, if there are explicit scenes...
-- it's valid to feel uncomfortable with a 16 year old actor doing explicit scenes and to wait/not watch this series
-- it's valid to feel fine with a 16 year old actor who voluntarily agreed to do explicit scenes (and must have had his parents' permission) and watch/enjoy this series
- everyone gets to make that decision for themselves, I hold no judgement either way for this example
