Consistent Story and Surprising Acting

I will be honest, I spent the majority of the series nit-picking plot points and complaining about Kawi's character. But at the end of the 12 episodes, I was surprised and very thankful for the Twitter Trends page for introducing me to this series.

I don't love that they made the time gap 10/12 years, because the characters behave in the present the same way they did in the past. It's hard to get actually invested in the plot, especially at the beginning, because of this huge detail. It would be better if the jump was just to the end of their college years, not such gap.

Things get better from episode 4, because Kawi actually opens up about the things that make him this awkward, lonely kid. I felt sorry for the way he was treated at the Summer Party, but I also blame the script for setting up such stupid situations just to emphasize his awkwardness. The kid has to carry three bags, one of them is a backpack, why the hell didn't he put on both straps? These unbelievable situations made it harder for me to completely enjoy Kawi and his troubles at the camp, but I can't deny the character emotional development, he's much better at least for now.

Something I really loved was how strong Pear is as a character, despite the role she plays on the show, being the prettier girl in the faculty and the romantic interest of both male leads. She has her own beliefs and thoughts, she doesn't shut up and stays put, I love the scene were she calls out the seniors about the stupid traditions. She's actually a character I loved!

Their first kiss wasn't in the best of situations. Kawi was drunk, which means he was vulnerable and couldn't consent to anything. The kiss was sweet, but the lack of expression in Gawin's face really threw me off. Then he laid Kirst down and started unbuttoning his shirt??? No, buddy! Kawi is drunk! The lost look in Kawi's eyes wasn't really expressive, but it was enough to convey how he wasn't really there, in the moment. I'm glad Pisaeng stopped things when he noticed Kawi falling asleep, but I would rather he hadn't started anything.

The scene where Kawi checks the future again after playing at X10 is so, but so bad. I cringed from the moment he showed up backstage with Max as his manager, to the very point where I had to pause for a second because he found out Pear will marry Not. The moment he realized his dad was still dead was so bad, it took him so long to react and Max just stood there, waiting for his queue. This particular moment felt so unnatural, why did Max just stand there????

I've only now started watching BL series, so I can attest to the actors acting and if they're already getting better or not, but I also have to blame the Directors for not telling them what to do with their limbs. So many heartfelt and angsty scenes were almost ruined for me because of the actors instances. Kawi is dying and Pisaeng is desperate? He, Max and Pear just stand there in front of the doctor like the ? emoji.

Suddenly it's been 8 years since their college days? The timeline is very messy, but the concept is still very solid.

Pear is such a good person, I feel sorry for her troubles with her mom, but I'm glad she's still very nice to others despite all her pain. I've liked her from the start, there was a moment where I thought she would get in between Pisaeng and Kawi, but I'm glad she didn't. She's probably one of the best BL female characters I've seen so far.

Kirst's acting was such a surprise. He was amazing just for being able to make me loathe Kawi at the beginning, only for me to slowly fall in love with the character as he grew more mature and learned how to navigate the time travel. I decided to watch this series because I was in love with Unar/Dan in 'Not Me', but Gavin's acting also surprised me, he really knew how to make us feel sorry for how much he felt for Kawi and how far he would go to see him happy.

The story was solid, from the very first hint at the plot to the very end, it was consistent and not once the time travelling felt too much. The end was definitely the best, Pisaeng being the one to see for himself like going back to fix things is not always the best option.

I thoroughly enjoyed this show, might not rewatch because I usually don't, but I will definitely recommend this one to peers who want to get into Thai BLs.
