I watched this series as a Pond Naravit fan, hoping to support his work. The only saving grace for me was his part as Alan. However, I found the friends-to-lovers storyline distasteful, especially with Khaotung pining for an older man. It reeks of grooming young girls to think this is romantic, and it's disturbing that a Thai larkorn would normalize such pedophilic tendencies. The director, being a man, apparently didn't see anything wrong with it. Alan's love for Khaotung seemed shallow, merely based on her looks. She was a bland and boring eye candy in the series, and I couldn't believe the director made her book-smart but common-sense stupid, a typical Thai larkorn formula. They attempted to remake a Thai rom-com like "While You Were Sleeping" and failed.

If you enjoy toxic mother and brother characters, this series has plenty of prime content for you. The male lead comes across as a doormat, and the female lead is senseless and deceitful, playing nice but lying. The series is filled with enablers for these toxic characters, making it a larkorn that might appeal more to the Thai audience than international fans like me.

The only redeeming quality about the mother is that she mourned the death of the father, while everyone else seemed unaffected. Alan was unaffected by the father's death and made a funny comment to the mother about hers.

Despite having a cast of good actors, the crappy script and larkorn-style direction disappointed me.

Overall, it's worth watching for Pond's performance as Alan or if you're a hardcore larkorn fan. Otherwise, you might find yourself feeling frustrated and wanting to throw your iPad across the room, just like I wanted to on many occasions. If it wasn't for Pond's being in this series, I would not have watched this series at all.
