Despite my headline, SOTUS S is BL to watch if you've watched SOTUS. It takes a closer look into Arthit and Kongpob's relationship after they have been together for 2 years. It also focuses on the difference between love as a student, and love in the real world.


~~ STORY ~~

Taking place 2 years after the original series, Kongpob is a 3rd year and the head hazer. Arthit is just starting his first day as a working man in society. SOTUS S focuses on how Arthit and Kongpob deal with bringing their relationship into the real world, while comparing it to their days as a student.

Personally, watching this series was hard. The contrast between the real world and school was too different. Kongpob and Arthit's days in University was fun and exciting, while the Arthit in the workplace was boring. While realistically true, SOTUS S is a fictional drama, so they could have spiced things up a little more. The series was a little boring at first, leaving the audience wondering why Arthit is giving Kongpob a hard time when there is nothing to have a hard time about. Even if Kongpob goes out of line and starts interning at Arthit's workplace and moves in next door, it seems like a non-issue. You get to see your boyfriend more and he's not bothering you. What's the problem? It's only when rumors spread about Kongpob and Arthit dating does the drama finally get interesting.

While very realistic, I felt the series was too realistic that it took away from the fun while watching it. I ended up skipping lot's of Arthit's scenes because it was too boring and mundane. Kongpob's university life and all of the students were much more fun to watch than Arthit's scenes. However, as a fan of Arthit and Kongpob, you have to watch the series because it really does give a peak into their day-to-day lives.


ARTHIT x KONGPOB

Taking place 2 years after SOTUS, you can see that they are indeed a couple that will last the test of time. Arthit is comfortable enough with Kongpob to show his weakness and Kongpob is still only thinking about Arthit. The only issue I had with them is that they both still have communication issues... Which they are more than comfortable with, so it's frustrating. Arthit is always thinking about Kongpob, so he doesn't want to bother him with his own issues, which is similar to Kongpob. The worst part is that they know that about each other, so they are willing to forgive the other for not communicating properly. I guess it's okay since they know and understand that, but most of their dramas could be resolved by communication. Kongpob could have told Arthit about the internship and moving next door, while Arthit could have asked for more space from Kongpob, or even asked Kongpob to move in with him.

Either way, they are a couple that's going to last. Kongpob has stopped being as cheeky as not to fluster Arthit too much, while Arthit is more expressive of his feelings to Kongpob. Arthit is still shy about being open about their relationship, but he is learning to open up more to make Kongpob more comfortable.

~~ OVERALL ~~

I really loved how they showed Kongpob and Arthit's relationship, but I really found Arthit's workplace storyline to be super boring. I don't know if I liked it or not because of it.

Watch SOTUS S for Arthit and Kongpob... But you can skip anything and everything at Arthit's workplace until after the company beach party where Arthit and Kongpob's relationship is exposed. After that it's amazing.
