Started great, becomes annoying, no real curse/mystery
When I saw the trailer, I was hoping for something like the Netflix Thai series Stranded with paranormal phenomena involved. Well, that DID not happen, the curse is caused by human hand to manipulate people into following the strict rules of the school. That was the first big disappointment. The show should not have been misrepresented as paranormal in the trailer if it wasn't.
The chemistry between Akk and Aye that starts off as amazing impressed me and I was thinking this one as the best BL of the year. Than some things really ruined the moment for me.
1. The first kiss between them was presented as real originally and then we find out that Akk imagined it. Big turn off.
2. The second kiss was when Aye confesses his feelings to Akk who cannot say what he feels and the confession falls flat. Another big turn off.
I continue watching the series, but so far I am on episode 7 and there is no real development in their relationship, no real development in any other character besides a repetition of what they have already been doing with very minor changes and the only important information is what I mentioned first, that the curse has been fake.
There is clearly a problem with pacing, maybe they do it to feel up the episodes? I am not sure. In general, my biggest problem is with Akk, I have really come to dislike his character because he talks to him self wondering why does he like Ayan (so he IS aware of his feelings) yet keeps rejecting him like a prude or homophobe. It makes no sense, since Ayan never asked him to be openly gay and so far it has ruined all the romantic moments. I hate anxious avoidant characters.
I said that in another forum and people disagreed with me, but this review is just my opinion. Overall it's kinda claustrophobic (90% of things happens in the same building) and too slow and the main character needs to make up his damn mind, if this was real life Ayan would have written him off as a loser long ago.
