PG13 version of Kinnporsche
This was done better than I had expected. I'll be honest, I'm not sure how well GMMTV does dark, gritty, more serious than a school romance, shows quite yet. The only other one I've seen from them was Not Me, and that was a decent enough show. This ALMOST feels like the PG13 version of Kinnporsche! That's a good way to describe it.
The main couple had some really good moments, sad and happy ones that really made you feel for them. You felt the beach vibes, you felt the despair, you felt the seperation. Other times though, they felt very distant. I think it's because of Ponds character, he was TOO stubborn! He never truly seemed to let Nuengdiao in.
The second couple really had no time or development but hey, Perth is hot, so whatever. It was a cute small side story. Perth was dressed to impress in this one!
What I really didn't like:
Why was the rich kid being bullied? Why was the school so rundown? Shouldn't he have been in fancier attire at school and worshipped by the other kids so they could get stuff from him. They probably skimped on the budget of the school for other parts of the show but MAN that school was run down. I couldn't believe for a second it was a school for rich kids. I also couldn't believe that kids that went there would really go after someone they could benefit from in the future. Burning a super powerful bridge? Doesn't seem smart.
Can we stop shaking the crap out of people who just got shot? I get it, but also, put pressure on the wound! Stop shaking them like a rag doll! Imagine getting shot, being in pain, and having someone shake you like a jackhammer haha.
Also the death of his mother felt so odd. It felt like we saw her get shot and then she was assumed to be dead right away. It also felt like a "Hey, you're mom is dead but keep fighting man!" I didn't feel much from him about his moms death.
Finally the relationship not feeling real because Palm is a stubborn idiot who never accepted Nueng's love. He was always MR. Nueng and Palm never got over that feeling he didn't deserve him.
Overall I'm glad I watched this. It was different from the usual GMMTV college BL, it was fresh and thrilling. The romance was good and it wove together well with the rest of the plot. The ending was satisfying.
