Ending did not Live up to Potential - Soundtrack was great!

**Spoilers**
High School awakening of sexuality and love. Fine acting by War, and cast, but War is the standout. I thought the cinematography caught the heavy makeup on the actors here and there, but I overlooked that.

The soundtrack and singing was fantastic. War is very good at singing and the love song was wonderful.

This mini series really did a fine job showing how teens grapple with their new feelings of sexuality, love and attraction. Where it went wrong is when one of the female classmates (Fern) used her feelings over unrequited love to destroy the very person she claims to love (Dew). Fern uses Dew's mother as the weapon to separate Dew from Best even before the guys even expressed their feelings toward one another. Dew's mother makes sure that he attends university across country so that he doesn't "turn out" like Best, the gay. Dew's mother is so lame that she uses the "you're my only child" reason to guilt Dew into capitulating. It shows that women aren't always the allies in these situations.

Upon first watch, I was angry about homophobia winning again, but upon reflection, I realized that Dew returned Best's feelings in the very last 10 seconds of the series. Best was going to confess that he liked Dew when he autographed Dew's shirt, but stopped writing when he saw Fern's autograph expressing her ongoing love. According to Thai translators, Best wrote, "I li" on Dew's shirt. At the very end, viewers are shown a photo Dew sent to Best where he wrote "I li" in the lost notebook where Best wrote about his feelings for Dew. Not only did Dew confess, this also revealed that he had the lost notebook. Maybe now that their feelings are on the table, and are reciprocated, there will be room to defeat the homophobia keeping them apart.
