My Thoughts:

This is yet another Thai Drama in a row..... Well, I was out of things to watch but still this short-drama grew on me. More like its characters grew on me. I fell in love with the characters. Well, I may have started the drama disliking the lead girl and I won't reveal why but one thing that I had to lower or completely mute the volume. 

But then, the lead guy came and thank goodness he came for he completely changed the mood of the girl. With the appearance of such, I enjoyed watching the love grow to fuel jealousy and feelings of "I want to take care of you" The characters acted in a way that's not over the top but still engaging enough. And ended up with me, pitying the girl of her situation. I like the way how they don't drag a crisis for too long. Sudden troubles don't brew for long and end pretty fast. The timing of things were perfect. 

What a perfect drama to spend time on.... Anyways, feel free to watch this drama. One of the perks that actually caught my attention of this drama was how the situations are not too absurd and that it is a school life drama which made it relate-able.

My Thoughts:

I came across this drama by chance through a Youtube Random. And I was hooked. Although it has just 8 episodes, it does not feel rushed at all. Seriously, I loved it. And I would never have thought that I will be watching a Thai drama in my life at all. 

The story was super great. I like how the story went on as I predicted like I want this lead girl to be with that guy and I got it. I love the twists and turn and how they never touch long on the dark side of things, you know jealousy..... But, overall, it is great. I haven't finished watching though and I would love for it to go on forever. Sometimes you may know what's gonna happen, but you accept it like you never knew. Because it kept the mysterious tone alive and exciting. And if one wants to go out and widen their horizon, I think you can start with this. Or any others. Because I never knew Thailand could also produce great dramas, although this one was based on a book but still great.
