Love Storm (2022)

Enjoyable; needs improvement

Before I write my review their is some things I need to say and this is: This is my first time watching something written and produced by Mame and I am now aware of her "controversial" writing style.

Story/Plot: The moment that I read the novel, I noticed that this was that of a fanfiction which is literally Mame's writing style. Which I don't have an issue with it as she has introduced more cliques/tropes from her other works (according to other people who have watched her other projects) into Love in the air. Secondly, I write my own fanfictions as well and can identify with her cliques and tropes. The first couple I want to get into is Rain and Phayu, I liked them as they were portrayed well by their actors and I LOVED their story as well. I liked how Rain, is airheaded, cute and irresponsible at first, however he progressed as a character and got better later on. On the other hand, their was Phayu, even though his character isn't all that original I fell in love with him. Which I felt Mame did a good job writing both character no matter how they were dicpited from both in the book and show. Phayu is very mature, cool, and strict, however even though many see him as perfect he too has his flaws and that he is insecure. Which I praise Mame for the fact that both Rain's and Phayu's quality's are of the complete opposite however Phayu is mature enough to ground Rain when he needs to be. Which would resemble a real relationship. Their isn't much to any misunderstandings, which is good and even angst ( Which I kind of would have love -- just a little). Another thing, is that I love how Phayu doesn't put up with Rain's bad behavior just because he is interested him, likes, or love him. Which is something I see often times within Asian dramas across the board.

To contrast, the second couples were okay, yeah just okay for me. As someone who can relate to Sky with his trauma, I just couldn't get with the story. I don't nor shouldn't expect for the whole r*pe scene to be taken seriously as this is a drama for pure entertainment. Which I'm not expecting that nor should anyone since as I said previously this is just for entertainment and writing. However, this was interesting since I don't watch shows with r*pe elements. Even though, both Peat and Fort did good, however they didn't have the chemistry like Rain and Phayu. Which is fine considering that Boss and Noeul are actually close in real life. I like Sky's character more than P'pai considering that P'pai just wasn't a saint (Red Flag!!!) and he did things that got under my skin (not for the same reason it did other people). I just wasn't convinced that P'pai had changed from a F-boy to a committed gentlemen because he still gave F-boy energy. The ending was pretty rushed which was to be expected because the show only had 13 episode, which could have been more if Mame didn't combine the stories. Furthermore, I didn't expect Sky's Ex to be punished severely considering that it never happens in Asian drama.

Acting/Cast: I think everyone did a good job with playing their parts. Especially Boss and Noeul since this is their first acting gig while this is both Forts and Peats job in a main role. In the future, I would like both Boss and Noeul to venture out and be more diverse with their acting/roles as they have become close. I do ship them however I want them to be more like Bright and Win from GMMTV where even though they are popular together, they can still survive without each other. On the other hand, I want Fort to improve his acting because he did come up a bit short as well as Peat.

Music: I didn't like the music, it just wasn't my taste and its going to get some use to hearing both Boss and Noeul sing considering that this is not K-pop. In show, the music choice was questionable at times since again this is not like a Chinese nor Korean drama.

In conclusion, I would watch this drama again, which I know I am going to anyways. I would definitely recommend this show to future viewers as well.

I could appreciate it for the bodice ripper that it was.

The NC scenes do stand out as the actors weren’t afraid to go as far as they could go with them. I liked that they showed the students actually working lol. For being a bodice ripper type of series, I got what it was going for. Was it a masterpiece like I see everyone calling it? Imo, not really. Tho I think it’s all up to preference/taste. The direction and editing could be a bit better. The acting, especially for some of the more serious plot lines (esp the PrapaiSky ones), could be a bit better too. But I think it achieved what it was going for. The production was also quite good.

It is a great series. I love the story, the characters, the theme songs and the actors are very talented. The male leads and side characters are all so good looking, ang popogi nila makalaglag panty. It is a must watch series. I just wished it was longer, more episodes, go for season two. the series is so romantic and their acting/feelings they are all natural. The bed scenes were really really hot to handle nakakabaliw sa kilig.

Rain is a ditz and Payu is the only person who knows what's going on in his head!

Rain, Payu, Sky, and Pai were acted amazingly. I loved their scenes together and apart. It was interesting to have the couples in the same drama but with their own set of episodes. Of the two couples, there isn't one I liked more. Which is odd, considering I tend to root for the side couple. But, then again, it didn't feel like there was a side couple. In fact, I missed Rain and Payu when it was Sky and Pai's turn.
Something similar between Rain and Sky is that they both become more innocent/childish once they get with their respective boyfriends. For Sky that made sense. He felt safe and probably let some mental blocks down. For Rain... I think he was just being more submissive to Payu? Which isn't a bad thing! Just something I noticed.
I wish we had seen Payu with his hair down, and the constant Chelsea boots instead of steel toes in the mechanic shop were driving me a little crazy. P'Aon, Nui, and P'Joy were funny. I thought more would happen with the whole illegal race thing! They brought in this whole plot point and then bearly used it!
I'm glad Sky came clean to Pai, but I would have appreciated seeing Gun get the life knocked out of him! He fucking gang raped a minor and then had the audacity to claim Pai had sent him after Sky! And the whole kidnapping event with Rain? Give my boys a break!
My favourite couple moments were 1) Payu having to lean down ever so slightly to kiss Rain after Saifah brings him to Payu. 2) When Pai puts his forehead against Sky's when Sky is sick.

Still SMH Over This Series!

I usually don't write detailed reviews of the BL series because I know my thoughts about the series tend to change over time. But with Love in the Air, my thoughts never changed, because I really couldn't think about what was going on in this series. However, I think if I give my personal PROS and CONS, it may make more sense.

PROS:
1) All four mains were certainly "eye candy!" No doubt about that.
2) The two stories were fairly easy to follow and not that complicated to understand.
3) The cinematography was pretty good (meaning the technical aspects of the series were really good). It felt like a quality
production. The pacing of the episodes was pretty good.
4) The acting of the main characters was not bad, especially since most of the main characters were novices prior to this series.
5) It had a lot of good discussion from the posters about the actions in several of the scenes. Whether you liked the scenes or not, it did elicit good discussion.
6) Finally, the sex scenes between Phayu/Rain and Prapai/Sky were pretty hot! Remember, PRO #1 did say that the mains were "eye candy." "Eye candy" having wild passionate sex will certainly bring in the viewers!

Now for the CONS.

CONS:
1) The biggest Con, IMO, is this is a MAME production. Each time I've had the opportunity to watch a series based on her books and novels (as well as read the novels), I wonder what is going on with this chick! Is she a female sadist? Is she overly obsessed with sexual assaults, sexual violence, and rape? Is she trying to make an analogy of the treatment of women and girls in male-dominated cultures such as in Thailand and other southeastern Asian nations by using male LGBTQ2+ characters? Finally, is she trying to "make a statement" within the LGBTQ2+ community, simply make money, or both?

2) I was NOT a fan of some of the scenes in the series. For example, 1) the scene in which Phayu messes with Rain's car just so he would break down and have to be "rescued", 2) the scene in which Phayu gives Rain a "forced enema" as "punishment," 3) the scene in which Prapai "coerces" sex from Sky in order to allow Sky to leave his room, and 4) the scenes in which Prapai is "stalking" Sky. These are merely a few examples of some very disturbing behavior in this series. There are also quite a few other scenes just as questionable when it comes to the behavior between individuals who are "supposed" to care for one another.
However, some of this CON is mitigated by some posters providing the opinion that the relationships portrayed in this series represent a "Dom/brat" or "daddy/son" type of LGBTQ2+ relationship. If this is what MAME had intended, then this CON is simply another of my personal dislikes.

3) Another CON is how with the complexities of the relationships mentioned in the previous CON, it appeared that by the end of the two series (remember it's broken into two sessions), everyone has fallen in love and wistfully jotting off into the future to be "life-long" loves. Yeah right! LMFAO!

Those are my primary PROS and CONS. All-in-all, it was not a bad series, just a series with some plot flaws. If the plot flaws were intended, then I would guess that it's a matter of opinion whether anyone would enjoy this type of series. All I can say is that I would've probably enjoyed the series more if the sexual assault and deviant stuff in the series was either addressed more "maturely " or rewritten. In other words, treat mature themes as mature themes and not as some form of high school or college hijinks.

But, any of you who read this (and probably not many), watch the series and make your own judgements and conclusions.

HAPPY VIEWING!

Unexpected Destiny

I have decided that this is a review I need to write. Why, you ask? Because after reading all the reviews here, I need to add my two bit. I can't resist. Maybe I am going to sound like a broken record, but I am more than willing to accept the flak that comes my way, because honest truth, I am biased!
Two separate reviews coming your way: PHAYU and RAIN, PRAPAI and SKY, and a combined one!

PHAYU and RAIN: Okay, not exactly the perfect start, but be honest. How many relationships in the world begin in the most perfect way? Rain is cute, and a completely clueless teenager. He has a breakdown in the middle of the road, during heavy rains, and is helped out by a handsome stranger, whom he totally enthralled by! He has just started college, and is besotted by a girl in his class. But to his dismay, the girl he likes, likes their super senior, Phayu, who has already graduated. So Rain sets out to do what every love-lorn teenager does(not)! Seduce this senior, so that he can get the girl!! But you know what they say about best-laid plans. Rain is pampered (not in a bad way) and foul-mouthed but something about him catches Phayu's attention. He decides that Rain needs to be taught a lesson (probably a moment which everyone felt that it was about dubious consent, although I would not completely agree, but I would like to not hurt anyone's feelings.) But Rain does the unthinkable, and throws the gauntlet at Phayu, declaring that he will seduce Phayu in 30 days. Phayu is all too happy to accept the challenge. And then starts a beautiful journey, where unhindered acceptance and total support from Phayu makes Rain want to be a better person, so that he can stand beside the man he is in falling in love with. You can see the depth of his love from the angst in his face when Phayu tells him that it's time to stop chasing him, and the happiness when his choice is always Phayu. Episode 5 is filled with beautiful moments of the two in their honeymoon and domestic phase, including a beautiful song that Phayu sings as a confession for Rain. And Rain's character growth is phenomenal. He becomes responsible and hard-working. But what set this whole thing apart? Rain turning kinky AF! Wow! That was some turnaround. From someone who is somewhat reluctant to be touched in the 1st episode, becomes the initiator by the 6th episode .(it was revealed in the BTS, that Noeul left an actual hickey on Boss's neck!) The 7th episode ties up their story, with them declaring that they are in a relationship and confessing to each other as well. They just seemed so destined to be together!!

PRAPAI and SKY: They had an even worse start than that of Phayu and Rain. But what can you expect when a relation starts with mind-blowing sex? Prapai is a playboy, sleeping around is a game to him. But then he finds Sky. A one night stand that he can't get out of his mind. So he decide to connect with the boy. However, Sky has a severe trauma hidden in his past. Something he doesn't tell anyone. Something he is ashamed of. But Pai is not deterred. He has decided that it's going to be Sky who is going to be his partner in life, and he does everything in the world to convince Sky of that. Although he is enamoured, he keeps his hands to himself, at Sky's behest, helps him in his homework, becomes his shoulder to lean on, takes care of Sky when he is sick, and most importantly, becomes his safe haven, where he can hide his past, and not feel dirty about it. I must say, episode 13 should have come with a trigger warning. Watching Sky grow happier and Pai fall more and more in love, is amazing and so peaceful. Sky deserves the world! I especially love Pai's expression when he sees Sky smile fully for the first time! Like what was that? It gave me butterflies in the stomach!! And Sky back hugging Pai is such a sign that there is complete trust now! They are so special! It takes a long time to overcome trauma. But Pai's efforts in helping Sky definitely go a long way!

Pluses:
- When Pai and Phayu go on a rampage, it is a sight to behold. The boys give such mafia feels that it's no wonder that people say that Pai is Kinn and Porche's son and Phayu is Vegas and Pete's son.
- How brilliantly the characters have grown. Each of them has a development arc. What is even cuter how the two daddies Phayu and Pai are such softies for their babies.
- The special episode is the icing on the cake. I think, Rain calling Phayu 'DADDY' is going to be etched in my mind for all eternity! No one can do that like Rain does. With that narak, narak and adorable face, saying that in that sexy tone, was an absolute delight, and no wonder Phayu can't keep his hands off him.
- The kissing scenes were simply fabulous. I have not seen these kind of kisses in any BL drama that has a university trope. Both the couples just blew the screen with their kisses. There was no hesitation at all. They just went all out. And moreover, the love and lust in each kiss was so visible!
- The NCs. Now here is a topic on which I can wax lyrical for like 5-10 pages. So I will keep it short, I mean I will try to do that. Let me warn you. None of them are passive lovers. Phayu and Prapai are totally 'I can't keep my hands of my baby' power 'tops' and Rain and Sky are absolutely 'I am so sassy and I know you love it' power 'bottoms! I have never seen such beautifully well-matched couples. Let me talk about it one by one.
Now Phayu and Rain, from the end of of episode 4 onwards, can't seem to keep their hands off each other. There is such phenomenal chemistry that it seriously was mind-blowing, mind-numbing... just boom!
Prapai and Sky started with sex, then there was a lull, but boy, not a dull moment with this couple also. They have 'back against the bed', 'back against the wall', 'back against any kind of surface' sex!
- Saifah's expressions: I think that Saifha is the most supportive and the cutest sibling! And constantly tortured by Phayu and Prapai's PDAs and out of nowhere declarations of love!
- Rain and Sky's, Phayu and Prapai's friendships.
- P'Chai.... OH DAMN! So handsome!

Minuses:
- I would have loved to see Rain's mom's reaction about her son with Phayu. It would have been really funny I feel.
- A little more development of P'Pakin and his power. Could have been an interesting arc.
- The sound editing. Something was seriously wrong at some points, but I must admit, the sound team did a fabulous job when it came to the kisses and the NCs. Not one sound was lost!

Music: Songs sung by the lead actors themselves? In one word? WOW! If you can find me a more talented bunch of guys, I will be surprised. I love 'My Strongest Love' by Boss Chaikamon and Noeul Nuttarat.

Rewatch value: For someone who has already seen this show more than 5-6 times, what can I say? It definitely has rewatch value! Absolutely! No question about it!

Overall, I love this drama, and no matter what anyone says, it is one of my top three comfort dramas (the other two being Love By Chance 1 and Secret Crush On You)... Much power to my loves Boss, Noeul, Fort and Peat!!

Better than the Novel! It's 100% Chemistry between the Actors!!

Love in the Air is a must watch, but only because of the chemistry between the actors!
The story itself is cliché and has been told numerous times, but the reason I have this series on repeat is simply because of Phayu and Prapai breaking toxic BL standards of consent and because of the chemistry between all of the couples. I want the love that Phayu and Prapai give to their lovers! I'm so jealous!

~~ STORY ~~

Phayu and Prapai are best friends who enjoy underground racing. Phayu works as an architect while also running his own luxury auto repair shop. He is also mafia-boss Pakin's most trusted car mechanic. Prapai is not only runs his own company, but is Pakin's most fasted racer. They meet college freshmen Rain and Sky after a series of unfortunate events for Rain, including his car breaking down in the middle of the road. Phayu is love-struck by Rain's naivety and innocence, while Prapai can't get enough of the duality between Sky's hot and cold persona. Both couples end up in a game of cat and mouse which leads to lots of love in the air.

Love is the Air is based off of two novels written by Mame; Love Storm (Phayu/Rain) and Love Sky (Prapai/Sky).
The series doesn't really take much liberty in changing much from the novels. What you read in the novels is exactly what you get in the series. The story itself isn't the best or the most unique, but it is different compared to other BLs currently being produced into TV series... Meaning it isn't another high school or college themed drama.

While Love in the Air features college students, most of the setting takes place outside of the college, making it different from most Thai BLs being produced. Phayu and Prapai are men who have already graduated college and are already quite advanced in their careers, while Rain and Sky are freshmen in college. Due to Phayu and Prapai being working members of society, the way they act and treasure their lovers is very mature leading to both couples having the most healthiest relationship out of all BL couples. Phayu and Prapai had multiple occasions where they could have taken advantage of their lovers, but always told them "I'll wait for when you're ready." Phayu and Prapai also encouraged their lovers to take responsibility for their actions and correct any errors their lovers made even if it put them in an unfavorable position.

PHAYU & RAIN

Phayu is your stereotypical rich bad boy that everyone wants to date. Meanwhile Rain is your typical naïve to the point of stupidity freshman. Phayu is lovestruck from the moment he met Rain, but instead of approaching Rain like the usual suitor, Phayu choses to tease Rain and bring him into a game of cat and mouse with a surprise twist.... Phayu is the mouse.

I personally like how Phayu treats Rain. I'm not a big fan of the game Phayu sets up for Rain, but Phayu has never been malicious or mean to Rain, so it's tolerable. Phayu really treats Rain like royalty and his entire life revolves around Rain, so I think Rain is the luckiest guy on the planet. I really like how Phayu respects Rain and his boundaries, only pushing the boundary as far as Rain will let him, without ever crossing the line. He never really touched Rain unless Rain was the one to initiate it, which was a pleasant surprise from our bad boy. I hope to find myself a man like Phayu one day.

Rain... He's not the post memorable character out there, but Phayu loves him. Throughout the story everyone calls him Phayu's boy and that's honestly how I remember him. Sorry Rain!

PRAPAI & SKY

Prapai is another stereotypical rich bad boy, while Sky is a quiet nerd that actually has a dark past. Prapai saves Sky from a situation that Rain gets them in, and gets hooked on Sky after they have a one night stand. At first Prapai chases after Sky for the sex, but before he knew it, it was less about sex and more about wanting to be with Sky. On the other hand, Sky hated Prapai from the moment he met because Prapai reminded him about his ex. However, after getting to know Prapai he learns to love and respect himself, as well as learn that Prapai and the love he has is better than his ex in every way, shape and form.

While a bit extreme in his methods, Prapai gives out all his love in ways that everyone should aspire to give out and receive. Prapai never really had a hidden agenda and was open with Sky about his love from day one. The loving looks and helping hands he gave Sky regardless of whether it was reciprocated or not, was beautiful to watch. It made me want a man like Prapai.

Sky... He joins the ranks of characters that have a dark past that he overcomes with the help of love. His dark past was rushed through and used as the climax of their storyline, but it wasn't really memorable. It's his past that defines his current actions, so more emphasis should have been placed on it if they wanted to make that the climax, but instead they focused on Prapai's love. Focusing on Prapai's love for him, made the climax lose it's meaning since his past wasn't explained well and rushed through in less than one episode. I guess want to see Prapai and Sky is their own series, so they can focus on Sky's past and not rush though it.

~~ ACTING ~~

This drama is 100% chemistry between the actors and honestly, it's really the actors that are keeping this show alive. Boss and Fort, who play Phayu and Prapai respectively, really know how to act with body language. They don't need to speak any lines to know what their characters are thinking. Noeul and Peat, playing Rain and Sky respectively, are also able to keep up with Boss and Fort.

I don't know what else to say but watch it.

~~ BOOK vs DRAMA ~~

So I watched the series and read both books. What you saw in the series is almost exactly what you get in the novel, however, there are some small differences. Also, t's not really worth it to read the novels, so I'll talk about it below.

Love Storm:
The main storyline is almost exactly the same in both the series (ep 1-7) and the novel. There are some small differences here and there, but the plot is basically the same. Though, if you are interested in listening to Phayu and Rain's thoughts, the novel does go into more detail.

The biggest change the series made was replacing Oat with Prapai. In Love Storm, Prapai makes a few appearances as Phayu's friend and does ask for Sky's number, but it's unknown if he is a racer. The best racer in the novel is Oat, who is also the protagonist of another of Mame's novels OatShin's Diary. Oat is the one who races Stop. Other than that everything else is almost exactly as you see on screen.

Love Sky:
The second half of the series (ep 8-13) is based on Love Sky. This is where most of the changes occur between the novel and series. Love Sky deals with darker subjects like sleeping around, trust, abuse, rape, and trauma, so the series did make a few changes.

Some of the major changes include, but are not limited to:
1. Sig in the series Sig is Rain and Sky's friend, who isn't that handsome and is there for comedic purposes. In the novel, Sig is just Rain and Sky's handsome classmate who houses Sky after he breaks up with Prapai.
2. Prapai's mom, brother and sister meet Sky as soon as they become official. Sky also visits Prapai's house and becomes close with the family.
3. Prapai's actor uncle makes more physical appearances in the novel.
4. Sky's past with his ex is explained in more detail and is a lot more graphic and traumatic.
5. The scene where Prapai confronts Sky's ex is slightly different and more graphic. The aftercare scene is also extended.
6. P'Chai makes an appearance during the confrontation scene as well.
7. Phayu is barely in the novel, appearing only a few times, while he is mentioned a lot in dialogue.
8. Rain a better friend in the novel than in the series.

Overall, while there are some changes between the novel and series. I think that once you've watched the series, there is no need to read the novel. I thought the series improved most of the flaws of both novels. While in the novels you can read and understand the character's thoughts, I found that their thoughts were a lot more immature and made their actions less wholesome. As mentioned earlier, in the series Phayu and Prapai are portrayed as mature adults, but when reading their thoughts in the novels, their thoughts contradicted the way mature adults think and ruined what could have been amazing mature characters. Even Sky was written as more selfish and less sympathetic in the novel. The only character who was written slightly better than their series counterpart was Rain, but only in Love Sky. During the series which covers Love Sky, Rain is portrayed more as stupid rather than naïve. In Love Sky, Rain is naïve, but takes better care of Sky than in the series. When Sky is sick, he doesn't just throw Prapai the keys to Sky's house. He actually didn't want to even call Prapai.

The series greatly improved the novel. However, as mentioned earlier, the climax for Prapai and Sky's love story was rushed in the series and its also very different. If you're curious or want more details about what happened between Sky and his ex, as well as how Prapai actually deals with it in the novel, I would read Love Sky... At least the last few chapters because the ending is a little different as well. However, if you are planning to read the novels, be warned that you may not like how the characters are portrayed in the novel.

~~ OVERALL ~~

Love in the Air is a series that I have on repeat. While the storyline isn't unique, the way Prapai and Phayu show their love for Sky and Rain is really something to watch. Also their chemistry is amazing. Don't worry too much about the storyline and just watch for their chemistry. I swear you won't be disappointed. Also don't worry about reading the novels. It's not worth it.

I think (almost) we all agree in something

Today i was changing the scores of some of the dramas ive seen and i saw this had 8.5 so i felt the need of writing a review.

Actually this wasnt BAD but it wasnt the best series ive seen. I saw this series while being on air so it might different for the people who will watch it afterward.
While the first half of the show was airing (phayurain's part) i can't say i wasnt enjoying it but after the 2nd part (prapaisky story) aired i definetely can tell the 2nd story was 1000 times better.

1st part: I dont hate it but it was plotless, like, they just be a hot motorcyclist and a cute student meeting and then falling in love. NOTHING ELSE. I was trying to explain the series to a friend of mine when it was airing to convice her to watch it and i couldnt like seriously it has no plot.
Aside from that, the chemistry and kiss/bed scenes saved it and made it more enjoyable.
They had some cringe-watching scenes but it coulve been worse since its a thai series lol
Their story itself doesnt require a outstanding acting so there's no much to talk about, just an average thai-acting from them.
If you don't mind the lack of plot and story and youre here for the cuteness and a hot couple kissing. go ahead.

2nd story: This one was way more deep and complex than the 1st half
At first I thought they were like the second couple, but it turned out to be ?two main couples? (kind of confusing when airing but youll quickly understand that they changed leads in the 2nd half)
Yes, I'm kinda biased of them specially sky, he's my fav character of the show since ep 1 bc we're very much alike (except the trauma part lol) but he definetely made phayurain's and his story way more funnier. He also added this depth missing in the series and the actor's acting was top-tier too.
I cried w their story, you'll definetely connect a bit more with them.
Their kiss and bed scenes were also enjoyable, good chemistry.
My 8.5 score was definetely bc of this half of the show it woulve been lower if it was only 1st couple focused
-but as i was writing this i lowered it to 8.0 hehe :b

(You can also only watch pp-sky story, it is from ep 8 till the end if im not wrong)

Music: I dont remember anything so..
Acting: as i said before, 2nd story has better acting, nothing incredible too but not bad.

If someday i rewatch this series it would be prapai sky story.

nothing else to add i love u sky mwah ^_^

Ride It, We In Control, Ride It Ride It!!!!! (This series is for MATURE Audience 18 & over)

While watching the 2nd half, I wish they gave more episodes to Prapai & Sky.
Their story could have being a complete seperate series but loop in Phayu & Sky
in it, just a longer version for both stories.

It also accrue to me that this is a pattern or habit the writer MAME use to induce these trauma
scenes in all her novels, It’s not necessary to keep adding it in all her work.
In real life if this may happen to someone you know as a friend or have dated,
you would help that person to get professional help, in this case there is no recovery period
for Sky, he did not tell his best friend Rain and held everything inside until Prapai came
along which he still had a hard time to accept that someone can still love him after all
what he experienced with his ex. They only needed to show what happened to Sky earlier
in the series then he would have healed by the time he met Prapai, the throwback came too
late and this is what disconnected me with my mix feelings.
The writer just needed to add recovery in her trauma writing pattern to have a smoother
story telling. Budgeting can also be an issue as well.

I watch dramas for different reasons, sometime it's because I am a fan of the lead actors or
like this I was just watching because
I enjoyed MAME work on TharnType and I was hoping she did not ad the trauma too much
in this drama which she sprinkled it in Prapai/Sky episodes then went for
the kill on the last episode and thats where it felt rushed and no atmosphere for a more
fluffy ending but the Kiss scene on the Balcony had a nice head tilt from Prapai and I can
live with that lol.

Favorite duo >> Favorite actor >> Ratings
For the most part of it, I enjoyed the series immensley.
My favorite part of the story is Phayu/Rain. My favorite episode was #12 with Prapai/Sky.
My favorite actor overall is Fort (Prapai), He has a good engagement with his eyes
and body posture, it's just beautiful to watch him chase Peat (Sky) who also did an
amazing job playing a victim of abuse and enduring it to fall in-love again with Prapai.
Boss is the flavour and gave jaw dropping NC scenes and Noeul just went for the ride!
Prapai gave good care and attention to Sky and also had beautiful NC scenes!
I hope others can see some beauty in this drama and cheer on these first time actors on
this beautiful series. I rate it 9/10 since the beginning and will remain that way.
Overall It's enjoyable for the most parts. Totally recommend for anyone haven't yet
watched it. I love and wish them all the best Boss/Noeul, Fort/Peat 💕🌸

Writing 8.5/10 >>Direction 9/10 >>Cinematography 9.5/10 >> Production Value 8.5/10

Acting>>> The 4 main leads have done a great job on their characters, but some did
a little better and this is my score:
#1 = Fort portrayal as Prapai 10/10
He did an amazing job, very smooth, good eye engagement,
follow his sub and did a great job chasing him. His dialog were delivered flawlessly and great
body posture for framing. My favorite episode in the eititre series was #12, Prapai called
Sky from 3 different phones until he finally answered, the tears roled down on Pai's face
got me crying too, then the scene with the notebook he read out all what Sky wrote about
him, had me tearing up again, this whole episode was just so beautiful and Fort just embraced
his dialog and his eye engagement the most affective way that wheeled me in.
He just moved his body so alluring and the cameraman must have had a great time filming him.

#2 = Boss portrayal as Phayu 9/10
Boss is the reason this Series ratings went up! he gave us a beautiful and yet provocative
NC scene and his sub just went with it for the joy ride, I am guilty to rewind multiple time
and Boss did that to us. The reason I took off 1 point because his eye gave did not melt me
as much as Fort but came close. He looks like an Anime, you just need to copy & paste.
I think the director had way too much fun directing their love scenes cause I sure enjoyed
watching him.

#3 = Nouel portrayal as Rain 8.5/10
Nouel was feisty but fun, he was also very brave and fun to watch.
His dialog were the funniest and laughed alot because of Rain. Rain thought he
spotted Phayu first in the Rain scene but, but that was not the first time Phayu saw
Rain and I loved how Rain played the role of pursuing Phayu but only Phayu knew he
was the one that actually lured in Rain to his world.
I also loved the chemistry Rain & Phayu had. Again the camera must
have had alot of fun capturing that ride scene of Rain!!!

#4 = Peat Portrayal as Sky 8.5/10
Peat is such a babe, he truly played his character well, at first I did not understand
why his good mood changed to being moody but after watching the last episode
I understood he had alot on his plate. I gave him and Nouel the same ratings because
they played their roles simialar. The best episode for Sky was with Prapai after the
notebook when Sky cried and finally told Prapai he loved him too. BRAVO!!!



I will rewatch again! It's not for children, recommend to age 18 and over.

Another hit and miss by Mame

How this Mame person is still writing BL stories and hasn't been chased out of Thailand, tarred and feathered, is beyond me. This woman is built entirely of gay stereotypes and not even the good ones at that... Seriously, stalking, forcing oneself onto someone and rape leading to romance is something that just does not happen. Ever! The "words say no, but body says yes" trope is beyond despicable. If the "words say no", it doesn't matter what the body says. It's no, just NO! I managed to get through 6 episodes of this insufferable drivel, trying hard to see past the many, many flaws, but in the end it was just too intolerable. Cringe acting (especially by Noeul and Fort), horrible sound, repetitive and stretched out scenes, gratuitous semi porn scenes,... If I would have to find one redeeming feature, it would be the music. Steer clear. In fact: steer clear of anything that has sprung from the sick and twisted mind of Mame.
