I am going to be very honest. I had no plans to watch this series, even though it was on my list. After reading some of the reviews, I was a bit disappointed. But then I got to know that it was produced by Saint Suppapong. What can I say? I am a sucker for Saint. Just love that guy! So I said, okay, maybe one time, let's do this. But I was in for a very pleasant surprise.

The 'main' characters in this story, a group of 4 friends. In a regular drama, the 4 of them would have been friends of the main couple, or sidekicks or used for comedic relief. But in this series? They are the leads. You have Toh, Jao, Daisy and Som (the only girl), all 2nd year students of Communication Arts. Their friendship is to die for. Toh crushes madly on one of the popular boys, Nuea, who has a clique of his own, consisting of Sky, Tor, Khongkwan and Fon. He ends up clicking Nuea's picture, which kind of brings him and his friends into Nuea and his group's lives. This is the basic premise of the story.

Nothing new, you say? I agree. Nothing new, except the way it has been treated. As I said before, Toh and his group are not your regualr 'lead' characters. But the way they have been built, the way they have been treated, is wonderful. I know a lot of people felt that Toh is a creepy stalker. But he is absolutely not. He has 0 stalkerish tendencies, because he never makes Nuea uncomfortable. On the contrary, it's actually Nuea who, if I may say this, uses the crush Toh has on him to turn a bit stalkerish and possessive. But in no way does any make anyone uncomfortable. Toh simply loves the attention that he gets from Nuea. Although he thinks nothing will come out of it, he still is happy he got a chance to be in the world of his crush. But much to his surprise, Nuea not only crushes back on him, he also wants to be his boyfriend.

Then we have Sky and Jao. Jao has body issues and is always conscious of that he may not be the perfect match for someone like Sky, so does everything to push him away. However, slowly and steadily, with lot of love, understanding and support, Sky wins Jao over. What really surprises me is how all a lot of issues have been handled. Jao's body shaming, Toh's apparent 'ugliness', Daisy being trans and In falling for that. The beauty of this series is the way in which Nuea and Sky handle their boyfriends' insecurities. The obvious and blatant public display of affection is so beautifully done, that there is no way in hell that anyone seeing them together will not be able to figure out that how head over heels in love Nuea and Sky are with Toh and Jao. They don't lose a single opportunity to tell their partners how beautiful and wonderful they are and how much they deserve their love.

This is why even I fell in love with this series. Because true love exists, but needs to be shown. The truth is, Toh and Jao are not the only ones like that in the world. We all face insecurities everyday because of the way we look, the way we are physically, intellectually, even mentally or emotionally different. We all have that one moment in life when we feel like we are the odd one out. And somewhere, we all want that one person who can just let us be ourselves, lets us dream of a better life, loves us without any boundaries, cares for us with their whole heart and makes us believe that we are perfect just the way we are. Finding someone like that is rare, but isn't it something we all dream of? So somewhere, SCOY makes you want to believe, believe that true love is there. Whatever look like, however you behave, whoever you are, love is waiting for you.

Things that I loved:
1. Acceptance of the families.
2. Blatant PDA!
3. The kisses between both the couples were hot and smouldering.
4. The 2 couples were given 2 distinct styles of NCs, depicting the nature of their relationship.
5. The three scenes in which Saint appeared.
6. The relationship, trust and love between the 2 sets of friends in their own groups and a group as a whole. I loved how they intermingled perfectly and fit together so well.

There are some things that did make me a bit frazzled.
1. There was a really weird and unnecessary fight scene depicted at the party Nuea took Toh to. Not impressive, and a sheer waste of time.
2. Daisy-Intouch and Som-Tor relationships were somewhat done outside of the screen. I would have liked to see a bit more of the development of their story arc.
3. Prao and her cronies. They were funny, but selfish and entitled. I especially did not like the fact that despite Nuea making his feelings perfectly clear, she could not take a 'NO'.

My opinion? Definitely a watch!!
