SOTUS: The Series

SOTUS: The Series (Thai: SOTUS: The Series – พี่ว้ากตัวร้ายกับนายปีหนึ่ง; SOTUS: The Series – Phi Wak Tua-rai Kap Nai Pi Nueng, lit. SOTUS: The Series – The Evil Senior and Mr. Freshman) is a 2016–2017 Thai television series starring Perawat Sangpotirat (Krist) and Prachaya Ruangroj (Singto). It is an adaptation of the novel SOTUS: พี่ว้ากตัวร้ายกับนายปีหนึ่ง by Bittersweet.[1] The title SOTUS refers to the S.O.T.U.S. system[lower-alpha 1] which Kongpob (Prachaya Ruangroj) and his fellow freshmen have to undergo to be recognized by the hazing team, led by third-year student Arthit (Perawat Sangpotirat), as their official junior students. As the activities unfold, the two groups go through a series of conflicts and reconciling, and the friendship and love among them gradually flourish.

SOTUS: The Series on LINE TV

Directed by Lit Samajarn and produced by GMMTV together with Felloww, the series was one of the two television series announced by GMMTV in early 2016 along with Senior Secret Love.[2] It premiered on One31 and LINE TV on 20 August 2016, airing on Saturdays at 22:00 ICT and 24:00 ICT, respectively.[3] The first eight episodes aired between 20 August 2016 and 8 October 2016. After the passing of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the series was ordered to stop airing during the 30-day official mourning period. The remaining eight episodes were eventually shown between 19 November 2016 and 7 January 2017,[4] effectively delaying the finale from its originally intended air date of 3 December 2016. On 14 January 2017, a special episode aired entitled SOTUS: Very Special EP, which featured never-before-seen and behind-the-scene scenes.[5]

In early March 2017, a sequel of the series entitled SOTUS S: The Series was announced where both Perawat and Prachaya will reprise their roles. The sequel premiered on 9 December 2017[6] and was followed by a spin-off on Our Skyy (2018).[7]

Synopsis

The "Gear" – or cogwheel – is the symbol of the Faculty of Engineering. It is part of a system of cogwheels which power and run a device (e.g. a clock). If one gear fails, the device stops working. Wearing the "Gear" symbol signifies being a student of the Faculty of Engineering. However, in order to get one, all engineering freshmen must first undergo the S.O.T.U.S. (acronym for Seniority, Order, Tradition, Unity, and Spirit) system. Third year senior student Arthit (Perawat Sangpotirat) is the head hazer who tends to abuse the power offered to him by the S.O.T.U.S system to make the freshmen do things uncomfortable for them.[lower-alpha 2] Freshmen students are practically powerless to complain or resist any orders given to them by their seniors. Arthit was seemingly unstoppable, until Kongpob (Prachaya Ruangroj) stood up against the abuse. This initially resulted in a strained relationship between Kongpob and Arthit. However, continuous encounters between the two helped transform their relationship into something much more affectionate.

1 August 20, 2016
The happy atmosphere of the engineering freshmen orientation is cut short when the hazing team led by Arthit barges in to explain the faculty rules and the SOTUS system. When the nervous freshmen are given the first major order, Kongpob stands up and talks back. The tension between Arthit and Kongpob escalates during their encounters in the following gatherings.
2 August 27, 2016
The tension between the hazing team and the freshmen continues to escalate to the point that several breakouts occur. Outside of the gathering activities, however, the freshmen start to learn about the hazing team seniors' intention with the activities and their care for them.
3 September 3, 2016
An intense confrontation between Arthit and Kongpob at a gathering leads to a sincere conversation between the two afterwards. But that is quickly followed by Arthit's quiet dismissal from the hazing team. Disappointed, Kongpob stumbles upon Arthit at a restaurant and is bullied but also learns more about him.
4 September 10, 2016
Arthit, now reinstated as the head hazer, orders the freshmen to win every competition for the engineering faculty in the upcoming Freshy Day. Activities that Kongpob and his friends focus on include basketball match, grandstand competition, and Star Contest. Recognition by the seniors is among the main drives for the freshmen, especially Kongpob and Wad, to compete.
5 September 17, 2016
Kongpob and Praepailin score big victories in Star Contest as they deliver heartfelt performance and speech to express themselves and also communicate with the seniors who show up in the audience for support. At the celebration party, the love triangle among Em, May, and Kongpob becomes clear. At a following hazing gathering, the 4th-year seniors led by Deer show up and punish Arthit and the hazers for their power abuse.
6 September 24, 2016
The punishment of Arthit extending into the evening prompts a junior–senior joint watch group, a new experience for the freshmen. Kongpob takes the opportunity of delivering food to the recovering Arthit to explore his room and take care of him. The hazing team announces the finale of the hazing activities, the Flag Capturing Event, while working hard to materialize a beach trip afterwards.
7 October 1, 2016
The Flag Capturing Event challenges the freshmen with brainstorming to figure out their tasks and strategies to complete them, deepening their understanding of S.O.T.U.S. along the way. The last stage takes Kongpob to explain his sincerity of choosing the engineering major to Arthit and convince him to engage in an act by the freshmen which, as revealed later, moves Arthit to tears. The wrist-tying ceremony follows the successful capturing of the flag.
8 October 8, 2016
The sincerity of the hazing team earns the permission to take the freshmen to the beach as an initiation camp. The joyful activities at the beach trip are mixed with fierce conflicts, but they all settle in cordial understanding at the Walk the Bridge ceremony at the end of the camp, and the freshmen receive their gears.
9 November 19, 2016
At the end of an earnest conversation at the beach, Kongpob asks a clueless Arthit to take care of his gear. On the bus back to campus, Kongpob gets to look after Arthit. Upon request, Arthit goes shopping with Kongpob and the two exchange gifting idea. They bump into Namtan, Arthit's first crush and friend since high school. The two go to a restaurant and a hair salon afterwards.
10 November 26, 2016
Arthit decides to crash at Kongpob's place as his is flooded and no other friend is available. While there, Arthit realizes that Kongpob has been keeping a secret and questions if the latter has feelings for him. Kongpob dodges the question, but later admits it when he assumes Arthit is asleep. The next morning, Arthit starts to avoid Kongpob.
11 December 3, 2016
A meet-up at a café reveals Arthit's past with Namtan and helps Arthit to start dealing with his feelings for Kongpob. That evening, Arthit finally returns Kongpob's call but hung up before Kongpob could finish his confession. The call leaves both dejected, and Kongpob takes off the thread Arthit tied for him.
12 December 10, 2016
Arthit and Kongpob continue to avoid each other while both contemplate relationship and their feelings. An accident leads Kongpob to take May to the infirmary, where May confesses her love for Kongpob but is rejected. Em steps up to comfort May and confesses his love for her.
13[lower-alpha 3] December 17, 2016
Events leading to and during Tum and Fon's wedding help Arthit and Kongpob understand what they want. After the wedding, Arthit invites Kongpob to a meal and then a walk, at the end of which Arthit opens up to Kongpob and both confess their feelings. One last time at the food booth, Arthit and Kongpob order each other's favorites, and Arthit asks Kongpob to take care of his gear.
14 December 24, 2016
  • Arthit grows concerned about many potential boundaries in his relationship with Kongpob, but Knot relieves him of his worries. Arthit eventually announces his relationship with Kongpob at the Thank You party.
  • Kongpob retells the first time he met Arthit, which Arthit has forgotten, and explains his reason to choose the engineering major.
15 January 7, 2017
  • At their first initiation gathering, then-freshman Arthit and his friends entered a fierce confrontation with then-head hazer Tum, which seeds Arthit's becoming the head hazer two years later.
  • Now-head hazer Kongpob pursues a different hazing strategy and makes the gathering activities a success. Arthit pays a gathering a visit to deliver a message and ends up staying at Kongpob's where the two look back on their past.
