The series was first unveiled during Tencent's launch of WeTV in Thailand in 2018. While the 2017 film it was based on focuses on efforts of the lead characters to cheat on the national exams, the series delved into their personal lives. Pat Boonnitipat directed the series along with a new set of characters and crew. At first, he was "hesitant to take on the project" but later accepted it as a way to improve his skills as a filmmaker. To get a perspective from different generations with regards to the action of the lead characters, Boonnitipat also included veteran actors like Apasiri Nitibhon, Willie McIntosh and Saksit Tangthong. == Awards and nominations ==
