Love Storm (2022)

incredibly overhyped -->

the way everyone was raving about this drama i expected it to be good and well rounded but instead its Cutie Pie 2.0.

there is a semblance of plot initially but it is very quickly abandoned. plot and any sense of story is lost to make way for explicit kissing and sex scenes which is the reason most people seem to be enjoying this show. the writing is weak and the acting is consistently not the best

i really tried to give this a chance but i couldn't put up with this anymore. hope to see better quality for thai bls in the future.

rating reflects what i did manage to sit through

Why do I do this to myself: the series

I should've known this series would turn out this way, it's Mame ffs, SA and toxicity are her specialty so I only have myself to blame for watching it.

I had hope for this one especially after Rain and Payu's storyline, because while they had some parts that had me side-eyeing the plot, it was still watchable, possibly enjoyable even, despite it being infested with typical 2015 BLs undertones/tropes, I was still able to enjoy their plot, hell I was about to rate this, a Mame series, a 7.5/10 and that's basically unheard of especially coming from me, but then they had to hit us with the PrapaiSky storyline and now I don't wanna watch it anymore. True, I did like some of their moments but their whole relationship dynamic ticked me off and I found myself skipping a lot of their story, the latest episode just served to further solidify my dislike for their story, was it the acting was it the setting for them idk if I'm being honest, but I'm thoroughly uncomfortable watching their side of the equation so I'm dropping it, even if there's only one more episode to go, I'm not gonna bother with watching it because I know my rating for this would drop even further, so I'll keep it at that. The current rating is mostly because of the PayuRain storyline because if I'm being honest, the other couple's storyline wouldn't have gotten anything more than a 4 from me, if I had to rate solely based on each couple's part it would be:

Episode 1-7 :
Plot: 7.5/10
Cast: 8/10
Music: 5.5/10
Rewatch value: 4/10
Overall rating: 7.3/10


Episode 8-12:
Plot: 5/10
Cast: 5/10
Music: 5/10
Rewatch value: 3/10
Overall rating: 4.5/10

My final rating is somewhere in the middle if we're taking into consideration both parts. I really thought this was gonna be different, but I guess I shot myself in the foot with this one, alas, it is what it is, I hope the rest can enjoy this series, I'm sorry if I couldn't really help with anything insightful but honestly I'm super tired and I really don't know what I'm typing at this point, but have a nice day/night everyone, hope you enjoy your watch.

The best bl series ever.

Boss and Noeul are wonderful, young actors who act so effortlessly and naturally that as a viewer you can feel every emotion they are living through. They have great chemistry and they are the best bl couple compared to all otgers in other series. Passion that they share is freely shown on the screen which is cream on cake for bl series. I recommend this series to be watched because I am sure Boss and Noeul will leave viewers in an ocean of emotions and speachless in the end. Boss Noeul have put some high level standard how bl actors should work together and potray their roles. I cant express myself in a way that would do justice to these serie and Boss Noeul, I can only say to the reader of my comment to watch this serie and everything will be understood by itself. ❤

A MASTERPIECE

I think i am one of a few people here who really loves this series. I enjoyed it so so much and every thursday felt like heaven. I want to comment on every point about both couples.

Let's start with PhayuRain:
This couple is really really cutee but i do agree that their storyline was a bit boring. I found them too cute and adorable that i didn't realise that it was actually so fast and there was like 0 storyline. I found it a bit sad and the kidnapping scene was a bit- well cringe :') But both actors suit their roles soo soo much.

As for the NC scene: i found it a bit weird how like confident Rain was at their second time. He has like 0 experience but how he talked was like he always did that. It didn't make sense but okay.

Now to PrapaiSky:
They are literally the reason why i give this series a 9,5. I am sorry but how fucking adorable could a couple be? I loved seeing how Prapai helped Sky through his trauma. I don't think Sky's trauma is fully gone but i believe with the time Sky will finally find peace in his sleep with his loved one next to him. I loved how Prapai went from the heartless playboy to the most caring person ever. Both of them needed to find the right person to be happy.

And i am so happy that their NC scene was more romantic than hot. It suited the storyline more. And yes their storyline was a 10/10 for me. A simple and wonderful love story.

Peat's acting was *chef's kiss*. Many thought that his crying wasn't good but the ones who read the book/spoilers know that he did a very good job. Fort's acting didn't hit me at the beginning but after a bit i was amazed of his acting. His eyes, his expressiones were sooo good. For a beginner main couple it is amazing!!

And overall, the onl horrible thing i found was the audio editing. I am sorry but did they hire an amateur? :') at first it was "okay" but after some episodes (especially in the PrapaiSky ones) it got sooo annoying. Like the music was sometimes louder than the actors voice? Or the sound when they were on the telephone? It sounded like an audio message but not lika a call. Plus the transitions to the next scene was weird too :') but well the storyline and cute couple saved it.

I am also very excited to see the special episode.

Sky and Prapai made it worth it

I had already written a review a while ago when only a few episodes where out and it was negative. I won't go into details since I think many reviews have already done it and my reasons are pretty much the same as everyone's, but I did not like Rain and Payu story. It's not like I hated it (there is much worse out there) but it just wasn't doing it for me, I almost dropped the show because of it but I am happy I kept going (even if by skipping on a few parts oops).
This is one of the reasons why I'm so glad the show was split in two and each couple could get the importance they deserve.
I absolutely loved Sky and Prapai story. Overall it felt much deeper, less cliché and the acting omg. It's not like the other actors were bad but Peat stood out so much for his performance, I couldn't believe it when I found out this is one of his first acting experiences. No spoilers but the last episode had me bawling my eyes out. I also saw a few reviews saying they didn't felt the chemistry with the second couple and I'm shook honestly, I really thought they were the cutest and their way of communicating was amazing.
This is why I'm so conflicted on the review too, overall I wouldn't give it a high rating but then by staying low I feel bad for the second couple because I seriously loved their episodes so yeah I advise you to mostly take this as Sky and Prapai story review lol

Sky deserves better

I made an account on this site just to say that Rain sucks as a friend. I'm watching ep 9 rn and this guy just gives the keys to someone who his friend has multiple times expressed as not liking. C'mon dude your best friend is sick, surely you can have someone being your work to you if you really need to do it gods.

As a more general review... I have almost dropped this series multiple times but then decided to power through and just skip any cringey or awkward parts which makes the episodes half as long. Idk sex scenes are fine, not feeling the chemistry between the first pair. Sky deserves better, him and Sig are my favourites.

This show will always be my FAVORITE!!!

There aren't enough words to describe how much I LOVE this show. It is so good, the production level is good, the story is good, the acting is good, the Visual FX ARE NEXT LEVEL, and even the OST is so good. I catch myself singing it more than I should be.

I love Phayu and Rain's story, probably a little to much if I'm gonna be honest. I cried after finishing it, It took MONTHS for me to recover from this show (I'm sadly not being dramatic). There level of chemistry on and off the screen is so good. I catch myself watching the best moments before going to bed just to get me something to think about. I get on the verge of tears when I hear the song from the show, ITS CRAZY. Phayu and Rain's story will most likely always be my favorite. I probably sound really delusional right now, but I am, so. No matter how long I make this, I could type forever about them. I love the way they are always smiling when they are with each other. I literally got so excited when I watched a scene I had missed when originally watching the show.

I also am OBSESSED with Pai and Sky's story. The way that it started was so funny to me and the way Pai was trying so hard to get to Sky was amazing. They also have such good chemistry on and off the screen, and I cant forget how well MeMindY/MAME did with the casting, I feel like they always do such a good job at finding actors.

Even though its already been a year since Love In The Air first aired which is crazy to think, I really hope they get their own separate series soon, which I don't think will happen at all. If it does happen, I will 1000% be watching.

EDIT: they got there own show??!?!?!!?!? i was not expecting that but rewatching it after watching many other dramas, its not all the rave but I def believe it will still be my fav until their separate series come out. i think i just loved the chemistry, but its not as good as i said it was. i will always cry to the intro music, no matter what.

Watchable only for pretty boys and bed scenes

If you like pretty boys and 18+ bed scenes, watch it. If you want good acting, interesting plot, fun script, then this drama is not for you.

The story is pretty simple. The drama is divided into two sections: 1-5 is PayuRain, 6-13 is PrapaiSky. Rain and Sky are best friends, so they show up in each other's stories. The plot is typical MAME with creepy, completely unacceptable in real life behaviour and dubious consent. Both romanticised, of course. There's also some noncon, but not between the main couples. The story is ok, but not especially engaging. The drama knows it because the characters make out all the time when they finally get together. Think Why R U but worse. And the bed scenes are 18+, you will see the whole act, fortunately no nudity.

The acting is awful. I think it actually got worse further into the drama. The dialogues are unnatural, the expressions are exaggerated or not there at all. No human behaves like the characters did. It was really difficult to see the characters instead of the actors, though usually I don't have a problem with it. The way the played the characters was so bad, I was actually glad when they were making out, because at least they weren't talking then. I'm really glad the actors are pretty. At least you can always look at their face or body and ignore whatever they try to act.

The editing and production are also bad. The scenes are too long, sometimes shown from many angles. I question the necessity for it. I really liked the motive of weather, which is connected to the names of the main characters. That was original and fun. The clothes were amazing. The drama is very pretty, in a typical Thai bl series way.

Would I recommend it? Not really. But it's not the worst, and if you watch with friends, then it may be even fun. The good will be multiplied and the bad ridiculed.

The worst show I've ever watched.

Never watched more toxic show expect from Kinnporsche. Payu literally almost r*ped Rain at the beginning of the show, but everyone seems to forget about it. Their relationship was mainly based on s*x but the scriptwriter/s wanted to make it seem like they were in a perfect relationship. Prapai was a stalker, but no one cares because the actor apparently is hot (he's not even that hot). The last episodes showed that Sky had a trauma after getting r*ped by his ex boyfriend, and I'm kinda glad they mentioned such a serious topic, but I think that's a little bit hypocritical to write something like that and than romanticise it when Payu almost did it to Rain.
There were way to many 18+ scenes. I swear every episode involved at least 2 or more of those scenes. At some point I felt like watching p*rn. The special episode was even worse then the whole series. The only purpose of this episode was to satisfy weird fetishists.

idgaf about y'all comments but THIS is by far one if the best bl's i got to watch

firstly, this drama has a great concept i mean what is there not to love about illegal racing.
it's good it's entertaining the couples have good chemistry just what a bl needs.
sex scenes were present and were super good, the actors have the talent needed for this and im so here for it.

yes it's a controversial pick but i loved the story, i am fully aware that not many people liked the story and that's the main cause of the rating.

the ost was so damn good it was stuck in my mind all day long(that depends on your taste in music).

i don't think it is necessary to rewatch it i mean do not get me wrong the series is truly great but, the story line is super simple and easy to understand.
plus because it won't be exciting anymore to rewatch the episodes (except for the sex scenes for me).
don't waste your time rewatching a series with such a simple and easy storyline.

overall i think this series is a must to watch.
