Sarawat keeps me watching

It's extremely juvenile, exaggerated, the sound effects are annoying and the product placements are extremely obvious BUT Sarawat is cute enough to keep me watching lol. The acting is pretty decent although I have to give credit to the actor portraying Sarawat since this is his first TV show. There are 3 things I particularly love: Sarawat was actually pretty forward with his affections for Tine. The other thing that I love is the reveal that Sarawat has been in love with Tine since a year ago and that his stoicness in front of Tine is absolutely a facade. That's a good twist. He's actually incredibly happy to have found Tine. That's super cute. He joined Instagram for Tine and even wanted to use LoveTine as his username. On the other hand, it's disappointing that Tine always holds back, and is so insecure with their relationship. He feels like an entirely different character since he went on the reforestation camp. Lastly, Green is based on a stereotype but he's more than that. He's stereotypically gay: hilarious, hyper feminine and extremely clingy. However, the show balances these traits or subverts this stereotype by making him an excellent fighter and by revealing that he's actually in an on-again-off-again relationship with Dim; Green is romantically desired, not rejected (by everyone). And to add on to this point, the show also avoids common BL pitfalls, like calling one of the gay men "wife," or using the rather homophobic premise of "I'm straight but I like this man only." I make a point to mention this in every review I do. The sequel, Still 2gether, fails the "wife" criteria in the first episode.

One of the weakest points of the show is how absurd the premise is. If Green is this persistent, it's sexual harassment. Instead of reporting Green to the school and getting rid of him permanently, Tine is putting more effort into chasing Sarawat. Also, convincing Green that he's straight is way better than making him think he still has a chance by flirting with Sarawat (because it shows that Tine accepts men). Tine is also painfully, unreasonably oblivious, which is annoying, because it's obviously to drag the show on. There's too much repetition and tells from Sarawat for me to believe that Tine is unsure of Sarawat's feelings for him. It'd be more believable if Sarawat made Tine confused about his sexuality and have him spend most of that time sorting that out instead of being unsure of Sarawat's feelings. Also, the assaults on Sarawat and then both Sarawat and Tine: why didn't they report them to the school? Absurd. The return of Pam felt completely out of place and unnecessary since she's introduced in the second last episode. She should have been introduced much earlier to add fuel to Tine's confusion about whether he's bi, and whether Sarawat likes him. THEN comes Mil who tries to chase Tine too. Anyway, if they made this change, and shortened the series to maybe 8 episodes, I feel it'd flow a lot better. Some nitpicking: I've never saw any cheerleader perform any cheerleading moves. They just put their arms up. Their first aid is crap. Really. Can't they disinfect properly?
