So I made a mdl account just to leave a review on this series. It's that good.
I had no plans of watching it when I saw the trailer. Yet another hs/uni romance? count me out! But ep 1, right from the beginning, had me captivated. I finished 5 eps in one night and the rest the next day.
It's addicting! It's drinking like warm creamy hot choco before going to sleep at the end of a day in which everything went right. Like, this is your happy pill! If you're having a bad day, this series will definitely cheer you up :)

First, the dynamic! Bully/bullied is not one of my fav tropes, and it has a lot of chances of going awry if not done right. But not in here, nope! On top, it also had the highschooler/uni student age gap, but trust me, the show handles it so so well.

Noey, though scary, is the dorkiest goofball I've seen in my life. And so is his gang. Special mention to Thiw, that man deserves more screen time, he's hilarious. And also Nidhnoi.
Thi, though being an absolute coward (you can go as far as to call him spineless at the start) is the best tutor anyone could have. He's there for his students, especially for Noey. Not gonna say much here cause spoilers, but let's say, as a college student who tutors highschoolers, I wish I had Thi's patience and skill for teaching. Some might not like Thi's snivelling character and his overacting (I believe the overacting was a conscious decision on the director's part), but he starts subtly standing up for himself as the series progresses.
Also, their banter. And Noey mistaking Thi to have a crush on him, and his subsequent reactions. Really, 10/10 on the comedy scale.

Aside from comedy, I'd also cheer for the cinemategraphy and the location choice of the shoots. There's nothing 'polished' about the setting, it looks messy, and very, very lived in. But also very beautiful. I feel it makes you get closer to the characters, cause yeah, this is how most places in South East and South Asia look like! I can totally imagine Thi as my neighbour lmao

Another good point is the pacing. Maybe it will feel different for others, but for me the pacing was good, great even. Though I had to a fast forward a couple of second at a few places when the two leads decide to stare into each other's eyes for a minute or two. As a person who struggles with draggy plots and can't finish series', I will knock you is a breath of fresh air.

There are a few bad reviews, which is inevitable since everyone has different tastes, but what I've learnt of mdl reviews is that...you can't trust the bad ones too much. If I did, I'd end up missing a lot of superb shows (like kinnporcshe and cutie pie as examples, I'd almost skipped them XD).
Of course, you may end up not liking it, but I'll say, give the first ep a try with a clear mind. It's funny fluffy goodness hook you right in. I can totally see this series coming into my comfort watchlist u.u
