The first one is tagged as a boy-girl (or “straight”) couple of Tomo Visava Thaiyanont and Maengmum Pimnitchakun Bumrungkit who play the roles of Cho and Yihwa, respectively; and the other one is the “boys love” a couple of Max Nattapol Diloknawarit and Tul Pakorn Thanasrivanitchai playing the roles of Korn and Knock, respectively. Similar to other Thai dramas, also there are some other couples and actors who bring life to the series. Most of the scenes are taken in a university and in condominiums where they live.
