Copyright infringement issues
When the series premiered on August 10, 2022, the viewers noticed a character in the episode "Curse" using the BLHS community logo as the school's emblem on uniforms. This led to the hashtag "#รพขิ๊ก" trending on Thai Twitter.[5] The Fivestarmovies fan page later shared a letter on August 11, 2022, stating that they had gotten in touch with the designer of the uniforms. The staff told the copyright owner that the designer was prepared to accept accountability and work with them to find a solution, which might involve paying royalties.[6]
Response
The show received harsh criticism for its cliched plot, lack of coherence, and excessively similar viewer-attracting strategies.[7] Nonetheless, the series was able to hold its place in the top 10 for four weeks in Thailand and for two weeks in Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam in terms of Netflix views.[8]
