As others have mentioned, the first episode really threw me off. I started this series a couple of times but could not get past the first episode, but it was so worth it. This has become one of my favorites.

The story starts off with what we would call straight up bullying and I just couldn't imagine as the one doing the bullying as the love interest. Once I figured out it was more of a cultural difference thing and when you learn their reasons for doing what they are doing it eases it a bit.

I love the main character, love how he doesn't really care what people think just what Arthit thinks. It helps that they are both easy on the eyes, especially when they smile. The story is a bit slow going and there isn't any hot and heavy scenes, but if you like the warm feel good, love the mc kind of story this is for you.

Story: The story is pretty good, it dragged in some parts and others I was a little put off by but again I think it was a cultural difference type of thing. I would love to read the story which it was adapted from as I feel I messed a lot of the details that would have made this story great.

Acting/Cast: I don't think anyone could have filled the roles as well as these 2 did. They had such chemistry and Kongpob fit his role as a cheeky jr. Arthit was so serious that when he gave his smiles it felt like winning...something. Their acting was believable (and from what I can tell many fan girls want it to be true in rl) and it never felt forced, something that is usually wrong in BL dramas

Music: Got to be honest, I don't remember the music much but from what I can remember it fit the mood great.

Rewatch value: I am not one of those people to rewatch something again and again. I'm usually a once and done kind of person or once and then maybe a few years down the road kind of person. This series though, I'm already wanting to rewatch it, just to see what I missed and to see the 2 leads chemistry.

Overall, give a go if you like slow romances and just power through the first few episodes. Also follow up with Sotus S the sequel is so worth it!

Warning, may be spoiler-ish to some but I tried to keep the spoilers out, I just know some are more sensitive than others.

So let me start this review off by saying I made the mistake of watching Love By Chance first (it was my first ever Thai BL) which set the bar high.

-The story, though done before, is really cute. With out giving too much away I love how they are both connected to each other through their past. I really have no complaints on the story, but I'm one of those who doesn't HAVE to have something new and different. If its sweet, I'm happy

-Acting/cast, This is were the comparison to LBC comes in. After watching LBC and seeing the whole casts amazing acting I was a bit let down with this one. The 2 leads physically fit their role but it felt like neither actually wanted to be there, not much in the way of chemistry. The one that played Pha seemed very stone face, very handsome, but maybe needs to work on his facial expressions. Maybe he is better in non bl roles? He really didn't seem to want to be in there. hopefully he finds his niche.
*Kit and Ming were really good, no complaints with them at all and great chemistry with each other, they seemed like they enjoyed being there (that or they are that good at acting). They are the 2 that I wish was in the remake I wanted to know more of their story :(
* Forth did pretty well. Beam was really stiff and awkward in a couple of the shots when he was just standing there, like he didn't get any direction on what he was suppose to do. The other side characters were not bad, and the Star for the Science faculty was pretty and I think her acting was very natural for her character.
*I think some of the problems steam from the Director maybe? Seems like there was way too many awkward or unneeded pauses. Made it feel like they forgot their lines at times or were waiting for something, other times the lines didn't flow right. Things that the director should have caught and done a retake.
....Then again, the Director for LBC was really good, and you can tell he demanded perfection so maybe I'm expecting too much?

-Music, ok I'm a sucker for the song they use through the whole thing...12345 I love you, ok I'm done.

-Rewatch value, well I've watched it twice now so not bad. Will I watch it a third time, probably not. I'm excited for the remake.
