Love Storm (2022)

It would be better if they didn't split the series

I was interested in Payu and Rain's storyline, which is the reason I started watching this show. I didn't know the focus shifted halfway through, and I wasn't a huge fan of the second half. The motorcycle storyline went nowhere, and they reference a character constantly and you just...never meet him? They also played the exact same 8-minute or so long clip of the motorcycles being transported like three times. Why.

The best part about the show was the chemistry. Both couples felt well thought out in terms of development, and they managed to have two very different couples. I think I just don't like the whole switching to new leads thing they did. I felt like I should have been more invested in the Pai/Sky storyline than I was. It also felt like the show got way too serious way too fast in the second half. Instead of a fun, lighthearted show, it turned into a story of trauma and assault. If they were going to have more serious themes, I wish they would have brought them in towards the beginning of the show, instead of having them all at the end when it's totally unexpected.

Go get yourself a glass of wine. Watch as sequel to some drama that fails you cos this one won't

This drama is unique in its structure. The first half of the drama you are following Payu and Rain, and the second half follows Pai and Sky's relationship. I did not think it possible but I was equally invested in both couples.

Starting with the positives, the actors did better than your average bl actors. Also more hot scenes than your average bl that were somehow appropriately distributed. Everyone seemed very invested in those hot scenes and it shows. Cringe was minimal. And the drama worked to develop characters individually, which I greatly appreciated, to understand them better.

I could see how Pai improved in his acting throughout the show, that at some moments he brought tears to my eyes really. From smiles that became his go-to expression (and low key annoying), he be getting cuter tho from ep to ep not gonna lie..

Also, isn't Payu somehow green flagy? Like my man conditioned his partner to focus on his school prior to him. Gotta love man with his priorities straight. Pai was not that at all, but he had his moments.

...and now on weak points. There were really no major disappointments. Despite a lot of turbulence it dragged a bit. Major question mark is I did not understand why would both Payu and Pai fall for Rain and Sky respectively. I mean physical attraction I understand but they did not explain at all what was special about them so those handsome, mysterious, rich, bad boy and smart loners would find in them the love of their life them.

Soundtrack I actually noticed so I gave above average score.

Do not miss this one. This one is for cleansing eyes from you previous failures.

modern lakorn with hot scenes

It's a lakorn, if you know what i mean... But it's modern and it's got some hot scenes! What else? Not much... Young cast, some better than others.
Excellent cinematography, nice camera angles, nice settings, nice details... Fashion & hairdo are a bit weird.
Plot is full of tropes, like the character with a traumatic past and those dom/sub love dynamics (power balance in the two couples is totally off! being patted on the head is something so pleasurable? I almost saw those two subs wiggling their tail...).
It's like one - or two - BL Cinderella's encounter their respective prince.
The comedic element is hardly done right.

Story of Sky and Prapai

I’m glad that they separated the stories of the 2 couples so I could only watch episode 8 to 13 as I absolutely love the story of Sky and Prapai! It begins with exciting NC scene but as I learned more about Sky and realised why he acted like that, I just couldn’t help but caring about this couple! The casting is excellent as well.

I did try to watch a few episodes of Rain and Phayu, but I just didn’t get the chemistry between them. Rain’s supposed to be good looking but again I just didn’t feel anything. How they fall in love with each other seems contrived.

Que química meus amigos.

Não assisto muitos doramas nesse estilo mas vi um tiktok do rain e do payu e quase passei mal com a química que esses dois têm, e já fui direto assistir. Gostei bastante da atuação dos atores e da química dos dois casais.
Não conheço muito esse mundo dos bls tailândeses, vira e mexe eu tô assistindo um, mas não acompanho muito oq acontece no "fandom", então não entendo muito bem o q tem com a diretora do dorama. Mas foi um dorama bem legal de assistir, a história n é 100% maravilhosa e ótima, acho legal terem abordado assuntos importantes, mas que poderiam ter abordado de uma forma diferente. Mas enfim, estou completamente apaixonada pelos atores, espero muuuito que os casais possam fazer outros doramas juntos, adoraria ver eles atuando em uma história diferente.

Recomendo darem uma chance para a série, não só pelo ótimo trabalho dos atores, mas também para os casais lindos que eles formam.
E, bom, é o q eu sempre penso talvez o q alguém odiou vc possa amar, ou vice versa.
Ah, e antes de assistir da uma olhada nos gatilhos q possam ter.
Para finalizar, vou sentir taanta falta desses casais que conseguiram o q poucos conseguem, me deixar boba de amor por eles. Fico feliz por essa experiência que me deixou feliz em momentos tristes.

Mmmm idk.

I found this show very questionable sometimes. I was left with a bad taste with how the relationships started and the way they then took a turn did not please me completely, it was a bit hard to see the characters in a better way after how they acted the firsts times they met with her later partners, but the truth is that I enjoyed the show, excluding those scenes that bordered on the non-consensual things (between the couples), but for what I've seen in Thai bls this one has not been so bad. Undoubtedly, the ending was a bit rushed, I think it was a plot that could have been deepened more and in a better way, but well...

Dont compare

I personally LOVE this series and will definitly re-watch it, the actors did AMAZING considering some of them are new to BL and i also liked the stories between PayuRain and PrapaiSky.

My problem is iv read most of these reviews and some of you compare bossnoeul and fortpeat, you should not be comparing them its not fair to fortpeat to be compared to bossnoeuls chemistry, its not their fault they arent as comfortable with eachother as bossnoeul, even though fortpeat are close they dont need to be compared to anyone (neither does bossnoeul). And of course their stories are completely different so there is absolutely no need to compare things between them the only thing the stories have in common is that payu and prapai are friends and so are rain and sky.

So please stop comparing them. ❤️

Excelente química, péssimo roteiro

Love in The Air é uma série muito gostosa e fácil de assistir. Ela tem uma trama chiclete (pra não dizer clichê) e personagens fáceis de entender. A química entre os atores é incrível e provavelmente uma das melhores coisas aqui.

Entretanto eu continuo não gostando de nada que venha da MAME. E apesar de ser mais sútil, todas as problemáticas das outras obras dela continuam aqui. Rain e Sky são os "passivos" da relação e a construção desses personagens é a típica construção de uma personagem feminina estereotipada. Eles são geniosos, imprudentes, atrevidos e no final dos seus arcos precisam ser salvos de um grupo de homens que tentam (ou ameaçam) estuprar eles.

Já os "ativos" são apresentados como dominantes, perigosos, ricos e homens bem sucedidos que sempre conseguem o que querem. O fato de ambos trabalharem para a máfia em NADA tem relevância na história e só é apresentado ali pra criar esse ar de periculosidade nos personagens.

A trama não se aprofunda em nada e a decisão de dividir os casais em dois arcos é um erro. O problema é que o primeiro arco é mais leve e sensual, com um romance rápido e quando o segundo arco chega, a impressão é que a série pisa no freio e repete as mesmas interações do primeiro arco.

Eu gosto muito do tempo que eles levam para desenvolver o Sky e os traumas dele. Mas ambos os finais são desnecessários. Eles criam um vilão aleatório para ameaçar o Rain e a volta do ex do Sky é algo que não me agrada em nada.

Não é uma série ruim, longe disso, mas tampouco é uma obra prima como dizem. As atuações são bem medianas, a direção não tem estilo e a história é uma tanto rasa e simples. Ela funciona por repetir a mesma fórmula das outras séries da autora e por ter atores que entregam ótimas cenas de intimidade.

First Story or the 2nd, or both... That is the question.

Now I don't mind having two couples in one show, but they way they did 2 stories in one show, was just plan weird. I didn't like how when it got to the 2nd couple/story it shows use parts we have already seen, now I get why they showed it so we knew where it starts from, but they could have just shown us both couples staring point in one Episode, then gone from there, this way we wouldn't of had to see the same thing twice. Anyway...

First thing first, if you are looking for cute and fluffy series that will make you melt, this is not the one you want to watch. Don't get me wrong it's not like it's all bad thru-out the series or anything, it doesn't, you get to the cuteness and all, but it's not the kind that is all softhearted fluff from the get-go like the cute fluffy ones are. You get all that at the end.

First Part: Payu and Rain

I wasn't sure how I felt about them at first, Payu kinda ticked me off most of the time the way he was. In time I did get why he was meaning an ass, he liked Rain from the get-go and was just teasing him, though some things still kind of ticked me off, but in the end I thought they turned out well and Payu got way cute with Rain as they got closer to one another and became boyfriends.

Rain was and air head in ways, pretty dense in others and not so smart in others. He is a mix of all kinds, but he was cute in his own ways. I liked how he changed (because of Payu) thou-out the series, by getting more responsible about his schoolwork, thinking about how he really feels about Payu then getting more confident in his relationship and needs, I like in the end how he could play Payu in his hands, though knew how to play in Payu hands when needed. I also like how Payu showed Rain his kink (Sub) side, and thou all this and more, Payu is patient with him. He is a good Dom for his little Sub.

Second Part: Prapai (Pai) and Sky

This one is darker(?) in a way then the first story. Well, it deals with the dark side of what can happen with the wrong person. (Sky's past).

I didn't really like how Pai was at all in the beginning. First he pretty much blackmails (even though he had nothing) Sky to sleep with him and from that he got addicted (pretty much) to Sky and wanted more, not caring Sky didn't. Pai just because more of an asshole. All he wanted was another round of fun, so he won't leave Sky alone. Poor baby had a hell of a time because of Pai. Sky fought him so hard even though he is starting wanting what Pai was giving, just was to scared to really go for it, I felt so bad for Sky, I cried with him even for him.

I do have to say that as the story took hold, Pai became better. He saw Sky as more than just something for a jump time and when he started liking Sky, he tried even harder to get Sky to open up. He really tried, even though Sky did not make it easy. Pai didn't give up, which I am thankful for, shows he did really care for Sky. I thought it was sweet him taking care of Sky when Sky was sick, even though a few times he almost lost control, in the end he didn't.

I love how both Payu and Pai ran to their loves in their times of need, Pai making it in time and Payu for doing what he did. I do have to say I would have loved to see Pai beat Gun a whole hell of a lot more, but I get why Payu stopped him, can't take care of your love if you are locked up, Right?

Furthermore, I do wish we got to know what really happened to then, saying Chani (?, I believe that is his name) took care of it, ok that's nice but how? What did you actually do to them? I can think what I want, but don't mean I'm right....

Peat (Sky) did a great job with his character in this series. Not to say the others were bad, they all did a good job, there were some not so good, but nothing to complain about, I just think Peat did I excellent job in his roll.

Oh, before I go, I have to comment on the sex scenes. Wow! This is one that showed the whole scene, and boy did they get into it at times. *fans self* Most of the time you see a bit, but then they turn away or something so you don't see it all. HOT! Yes I am a Perv, so what, :-p LOL

Poor First Couple Compatibility vs. The Perfect Chemistry of the Second Couple

A typical Tay BL drama with bad voices again. Someone told a scene on TikTok, I started watching it to see that scene.
Rain is a very sweet and lovable friend on his own, but the harmony between him and Payu was insufficient. Acting can be called good, but there is a problem with the characters written. My least favourite thing in a series is to ask the question "what did this person fall in love with?".

But our second couple was very good. It starts from the last scene of episode 7 and it just flows. Sky is my baby, I like her a lot. Even though the slight changes in her character towards the last episodes bothered me, it doesn't matter. There are no words to say about Pai's persistence and love, the whole story is about his effort not to let go of love. I may have watched episodes 8-13 a few times. 🤫 the chemistry of our couple was very good (a new independent series of this duo will also be released, I am waiting with love)
I don't know if it will be like a fan girl, but it's as if they have characters like the roles they play in real life. Regardless of the subject, it seems like every film with actors playing roles similar to their real characters is heard.
