How am I just coming across this and how is this so good?

During the winter in Thailand in 2023 I was stunned that PP Krit is all over the place, and I am not a huge fan of him. After watching this, I am.

Kuddos to the director and the crew- every single person on the set. Nothing but beautiful. High class , set up, story, scenery, acting of the main leads and the support actors. It is nothing like your typical enemies to lovers Thai BL series. They go really deep with teen struggles from all perspectives. From what is the real friendship, true parenting, sexuality from gay and straight perspective, small town upbringing, competition- healthy and not. And all the sacrifice we make to move forward in life, stupid decisions that make us human.

Leads are normal looking teens, for beginner actors they have made this series a perfection wearing emotions on their faces and expressing through intricate body language. It is very obvious that there is so much work was put in into developing the characters. They are intimate without going overboard.

Cinematography is what makes this a true masterpiece. I was drowning in the warmth of the Phuket sunrises and sunsets. Seeing such a beauty in the overrun by tourists small southern town, little details of everyday life.

Chinese influence and idolizing of it is real in Thailand, and the project incorporating that without overpowering feeling.

To catch everything- I watched it twice.
