Spoiler free??????????

For the most part this is better than the first season, each episode seems to be more stand alone-y focusing on mostly 1 topic 1/2 characters. It deals with almost everything a teenager could face (almost) and the writing of it is done so damn well. The likeable charcters are extremely likeable and the unlikeable charcters are well, unlikeable. A charcter that I really loved was Phu, i didnt think it was possible to like a character this much...he has his flaws but god do I think he is just such a brilliant character. The actor (March Chutavuth) managed to potray someone struggling with their sexuality so perfectly. Episode 5...the Phu/bomb fiasco is what I’ll call it...was written so damn well, there was a specific scene that I cherish so much where bomb introduces phu to her friends...nothing particularly special happens in this scene, its just seeing his realisation that their are others that have struggled in similar ways to him, and that he isn’t alone, that he is normal...it made me so happy Whilst watching alot of Phu’s scenes i had to remind myself that this is only a fictional character..which shows a great ability from the writers to be able to suspend disbelief as well as an exceptional actor. I also liked Dao’s character more than i did in s1 shes still a bit of a brat (rightfully so) but its good to see her become less annoying and more of a likeable character. Other storylines which are quite good are Phai-Fern I won’ get into it too much since I want this to be spoiler free...but you can feel the tension through the screen during the hotel scebe, i was once afain reminding myself that this show is fiction.

Now my criticism, firstly I think the writers could have potrayed Win’s addiction situation better although it was portrayed okay in ep 6(?) which primarily focuses on it afterwards it seemed to be too romanticised with the whole Kwan situation too,..the actual issue seemed pushed aside in order for a half assed romance. Secondly the ending...honestly I hated the end. I feel like alot of situations and problems were left hanging in the air not really resolved. However I then found out there is a 3rd season only to see that the majority of the main cast is different meaning we’re left with a too open ending for the characters of s1/2....
