I respect the BL elders but poor production aside it was terribly paced, SO MANY scenes in the second half dragged, and the evidence to actually justify the SOTUS system existing was poor. Also, it is absolutely wild to me that a conversation between Kongpob and his friend talking about a movie got as much screentime as Arthit coming out to his friend?? This happens all the time where conversations that contribute almost nothing to the plot drag on for ages and it's meant to show banter between characters I suppose, but in all honesty so much of the dialogue is stilted and unnatural that you just end up bored.The postive is that the main couple is cute and in particular I really enjoyed Arthit's character. Overall though I would not recommend someone watch it in 2020 unless you a) fast forward through a bulk of the second half 2) want to pay respect to the BLs that paved the way or 3) love Krist/Singto.

Incredibly impressive production-wise, the netflix money came through. There were also some legitimately beautiful shots and the setting and music were all really well done. I loved the cast and characters and I was really hopeful about this series for the first half but even though overall I enjoyed it, it definitely has a fair share of problems. There's a bunch of eerie things that happen on this island but in the end most of them seem absolutely irrelevant or only existed for an episode-long subplot or just to make the atmosphere eerie. As a mystery this is pretty badly written and I can't imagine the ending would be satisfying to anyone.
That said I really did like the cast overall (Ying! Arisa! May! were all great!! Kram was endearing!) and it had some genuinely good moments. Didn't live up to anything it built though.
