It's still ongoing but I'm very much enjoying each and every episodes so far! Nothing too dramatic (yet!), The casts and LOVELY 😊 It's a fun and goofy series for people who like to smile a lot😁 I love all characters because they are so perfect for their role! Their love interests are superb and the story-line... AMAZING 😍 Can't wait for more people to watch this great series!!

I've actually been waiting for this series to come out and I was so happy when it did. The filters used (or cinematography) for this series is remarkable and cute, It makes the characters shine and the mood very lovely! I also love TILT (the theme song for the series)

Update: Doesn't meet expectations (6 to 8)

No, it's not the language barrier. I have watched too many Thai films and TV shows from the past. The actors are great. I think my struggle is with its story writing. Some scenes felt rushed and doesn't make any sense. Like episode 2-3 or 3-4 not sure.

I rewatched them but i just moved on to the following episodes. In general it's good. But if you're looking for something with substance. This is not for you. Episode 7 felt rushed. And it seemed uncharacteristically for Sun to act the way she was portrayed. Which annoys me. Same with Ongsa. Its like they just wanted this episode to turn them to girlfriends and set the most childish way to do it. I guess i was just expecting too much from this series since its from a well known company.

I will still watch it for the sake of Sun. Her smile is everything but if im being honest. If another actor plays this, I wouldn't bother watching it after seeing episode 3.

Update: Okay, so the past few episodes i like the fact that they are addressing somethings that others are afraid to take a dip into.

1 of that is the brooding affection between the trans teachers. I like it as love knows no gender nor gender preference.

2nd is with Sun and Ongsa situation. I like the gact that Sun stood up for herself. She's already out there risking it all and ready for what lies ahead but here comes Ongsa who's too afraid to come into terms with herself.

I'm saying with herself because: 1. She's the one that started it. She liked Sun, even to the point of deceiving her. And when sun asked for time, Ongsa acted like a baby and her friends manipulated Sun to jealousy. (It's all cutesy but look into it as your own relationship, you will understand why Sun acted that way.) I like that they're showing us all these now. But I still fell the same towards the those other episodes.

sweet coming-of-age you wish you had watched in high school
mibean28 May 2024
This a goofy, comforting and sweet coming-of-age story that will make you smile from beginning to end.

All the different side stories bring out a number of important dynamics (in a pure and non-toxic way) from friendships and family support, to intimacy and neurodevelopment. The also allows for many different kinds of love (especially amongst the different girls/women) to be explored. That truly stands out!

The chemistry between the two main leads is simply outstanding. The two actresses bring you on an emotional journey like no other. Every single interaction is packed with emotion and tenderness. Shyness, embarrassment and angsts are all beautifully portrayed. Truly 10/10 there! Intimate scenes deserves a special praise as well for being pure and a fairly realistic representation of teenage love. They showed the love many queer women wished they had experienced back in high school in a very sweet and tender way.

In hindsight, I wish it had been a longer show. Throughout the episodes there were instances where I felt like time was taken away from the main storyline. It was also somewhat imbalanced. The two main characters (Ongsa and Sun) were not explored to the same extent. It felt more like a coming of age of Ongsa. While showing growth, the very last episode was overly predictable and lacked the emotional depth of previous episodes. The usage of voiceover was soothing but more could have been done there.

Overall, the depiction of first love is as beautiful as it is clumsy. I loved the casting and all the different subtle references and the little details (from outfits and makeup to lighting) that the production team deployed. I genuinely wish shows like this had been around when i was in high school.

Super sweet GL show on YouTube
devldyk21 May 2024
Crazy how much I love this silly show. I rarely submit reviews for mainstream productions; never have for a YouTube serial. But here I am... feeling a need to spread the word. If you want an injection of feel-good, take a shot of this show on YouTube.

So much is absolutely absurd, but all the characters are so lovable, and the dialog is surprisingly well written, sometimes even deep. And of course the best part is the off the charts chemistry with my new favorite girl-girl couple. I look forward to the releases every Friday, but try not to watch them right away because then the wait starts over. There will be a void when it ends! I hope they keep churning out these charming GL romances.
