There's lots of room for improvement.

I would like to believe that this drama was supposed to have a few more episodes of content, but due to the Covid situation, a lot had to be cut off for the sake of not putting the actors and staff in danger. That being said, I'm going to give the drama the benefit of the doubt and talk about it for what it is.

I'm also adding my review on Saifah/Zon's special episodes here for the sake of having everything in one place.

~ The story.
It was decent, for the most part. To be honest with you, there wasn't anything that I could consider new, so I am not amazed by it, but it wasn't bad either. We need to start branching out of the usual "enemies turned to lovers" trope because it's getting way too tired, and the fact that 4 of the 6 couples were going through that route was way too much for one drama. The creativity was dragging on the floor with this one. You could also tell how it exponentially grew more and more detached from all the other characters and solely focused on Fighter and Tutor, and I would normally be mad at it if it wasn't because I really liked them as a couple.

The highlight of the series to me was Fighter's argument with his dad at the end. It combined usual elements of BL scripts with a touch of reality to it. Nothing but praise to that.

~ The editing and pacing.
Dude this was a M E S S. It wasn't even like they tried to gradually make it a mess, but you could totally see when the editors just blindly began joining scenes together. Now, I get it, it was miss Corona's fault, but man. At this point I wouldn't have minded if they took a break and waited until things were a little better in Thailand for them to start recording again. A lot of stuff seemed to be removed leaving a lot of unanswered questions and confusion.

The editing was very amateur and the camera work could have been done better. Honestly, I have seen short YouTube videos with way less budget and better production than this drama. Just saying. If you're gonna do something, do it right mama.

~ The acting.
First of all: CAN WE PLEASE STOP NORMALIZING THE THARNTYPE COUPLE?! The most unhealthy relationship we have had so far, and these people are still tryna have the audacity to romanticize it. I won't condone it!

~ Fighter/Tutor: Let's talk about a couple that actually matters now. Great chemistry, sis. I am glad that Saint got this role because his character in Love by Chance was so unrealistically bad that he deserved a more realistic character that lives up to his acting skills. Now, if you allow me to be picky, it did feel like he changed characters after they admitted their feelings. I prefer the Tutor before confessing, but the after isn't too bad.

When it comes to Zee, I enjoyed his performance from start to finish. This is the kind of heterosexual actor I'll support, with such confidence in who he is as a man to the point that his acting was pretty much flawless. Very expressive eyes and super adorable crying. He gets a ten from me.

~Saifah/Zon: They got the short end of the stick as the second main couple. I am not a big fan of Tommy's acting because it looks very staged, but everything changes once you place him besides Jimmy. Their chemistry together got progressively better throughout the episodes, and their special is what sold them to me. They were THE couple to look forward to. In all honestly, we need a season 2 so they can all get the drama they deserve.

~Natee: Yes, yes, YES! The best support character in the series. Naturally hilarious and approachable. That MOMENT scene with the other guy was so genuinely funny that it is a shame they were pretty much cut off from the rest of the season.

~Hwahwa: You guys, I feel bad for her because they wrote her as such an easy girl. It was so funny, though. Not even three minutes out of a relationship when she was already in another one.

~Fighter's dad: Honorable mention because he IS daddy.

Girl, this show has everything: comedy, tragedy, character development, gud dix, male titties, MOMENT, daddy issues (those are mine), questionable fashion, and too many beach episodes. I had a good time, so I recommend it.
