What If is just quintessential classical Thai BL coming of age BL and a well acted and written one will always destroy me. There's something about these stories, the slow burn, the mutual pining, the way there's gentle love that ends up hurting so much because neither party is talking.

You have Smart working hard to insure that he can catch up and join Peach at university and then Peach so excited to see him and the jealous girl (named Mind! Mind versus Smart! So similar to each other and yet so different) and then Smart, who's absolutely in love with Peach having a new boy flirt with him and Peach's jealousy and just... y'all, I am here for this.

I love them so much. All these boys in love with each other but unsure how to handle it and what to do.

It's very obvious that all his friends care about both of them and have the same protective urges with Smart.

But this is definitely focused on that separation and growing up and changing how sometimes it's much, much harder for one side than the other.

Because Peach is going on to exciting new things while Smart is staying in the same place because of their one year difference.

This is also following that same idea from My Only 12% of one side being much more aware of their love than the other side. Smart is absolutely aware how much he cares about Peach while Peach seems rather oblivious to the deeper emotions his friend is holding onto for him.

And Smart realizing that his food has too many veggies in it because of years of Peach taking them for him? Smart is going to hurt in this show, honestly.

Because he's the one that got left behind, the one that's fighting to catch up but he's also the one who can't because there's an entire year between them and that makes such a difference sometimes, especially if both sides aren't on the same page about a relationship.

They're darling. And the habits of a lifetime as they eat together, the familiar way they roll their eyes at each other and wake each other up and smile is just darling. I love this already.
