Love in the Air: Special Episode (2022)

The perfect special for Love in the Air

This is a 70 minute special which looks at both Love Sky and Love Storm stories and brings them together. I was skeptical after the previous Don't Say No and Tharntype specials but this one was well done. It was the right balance of sexy, funny, a commentary on LGBTQ+ laws etc. I would boldly say it was a perfect special. And we didn't have any of the sometimes problematic MAME tropes so, winning!

Rain and Sky, classmates compare notes on their relationships and find themselves questioning certain things. They decide to go away to the beach (which Thai BL would be complete without a beach trip? Come On!) and not think or talk about their significant others. It doesn't go quite as they planned however...

This was a decent episode as we had new NC scenes and the usual misunderstandings that happen with new relationships from jealousy and friends / exes stirring trouble. It also opened the door for new stories such as Payu's boss and Pai's brother Plerng so there is more from this universe still to come.

Definitely worth a watch as it gives us the perfect closure on this story. Some may find Rain and Sky a little immature at times but I gave them the benefit of the doubt as they're still students. Lovely to see Payu and Pai giving stellar performances here.

And there will be scenes you revisit. Trust me.

Enjoy!

Worth the Watch

I am just going to list some things that I liked/dislike and can be improve about the special episode:

1. Phayu and Pai's friendship
2. Rain and Sky's friendship
3. NC scene (Daddy scene)
4. Expanded from the series
5. Rain's Kink
6. Vacation theme - it was different than most BL special episode as it felt liked written like a normal series would be and not the characters just popping up to a theme park or something.

Dislikes:
1. Lack of content - their should have been more scene's from both couples.
2. Short - the episode was short which sucked especially since we are covering two couples.
3. Production - it wasn't bad as the series but it was just like the first half of phayu and Rain's arc where the sound was okay but it could have been better.

In conclusion, to address the elephant in the room the pricing was not worth it granted the episode could have been longer, however I do recommend the episode itself as it was good. It was a good send off for the fans and the cast members as well.

Perfect closing. So cute.

A perfect ending for a series that already had a great ending. The happiness radiates from the screen and its all feel good. Rain and Sky kind of fake being mad at their perfect boyfriends to get them to come to them and reverse roles on them. Exert dominance to claim them as completely theirs, at least that's how I interpreted the irrational decision to 'run away'. Especially Sky seems to want to show Pai he is confident about himself and the relationship, which is a huge deal considering where he came from. Rain is just his sulky self, because he knows Payu likes that and he low-key wants to be 'punished'. It's an episode full of fluff and nc scenes like we've seen in the series. But it's the best fluff I've ever seen with these actors who have the chemistry of a fully operational powerplant. I will keep this series including this special ep. on the top of my re-watch list. Ultimate feel good.

good follow up with terrible audio

Overall: if you liked Love In The Air, then you'll like the special (can purchase on Vimeo). You can read my review of the series here https://mydramalist.com/profile/blcompilations/reviews/226713

Content Warnings: dub/non con touching, manhandling

What I Liked
- Rain and Sky's friendship returned and was adorable
- the NSFW scenes are once again well done (except they should have removed the music and just left in the natural sounds of kissing/breathing/moaning)
- clear flashbacks
- cute moments
- brief PSA about same sex marriage
- the cosplay was fun and Daddy stuff

Room For Improvement
- the sound/music: I took a half to full point off for the terrible audio including muffled noises due to lack of using boom mics, music being much too loud over dialogue, bizarre music chosen in some scenes, etc.
- I probably shouldn't have expected any character growth because there was none, Rain leaping to conclusions is on brand
- Rain's extreme jealousy was not attractive to me (i.e. blocking other people from looking)
- Pai apologizing for someone else's actions, he had nothing to apologize for

it has many n/c scenes and too cute to handle

I was living for this!!!! we need 2nd season and if we get we will be crying for the rest of our lives because we know we aren't going to get a 3rd season after that but after all I think something that is important to know before watching it so it doesn't come sudden to you is that it has many n/c scenes but it is cute af!! I'm here to warn you before watching the episode if you still haven't watche it and for the people that will see the series in the future, so before watching it don't forget you're hobi water!! ( if you are an army you will understand but it's holy water for the people that aren't army's)

The perfect end to a nice series

The special episode was the good end of this series, it was so much fun. And both couples found the happiness and love they deserve in the end. It was nice to see again how close the friendship between Sky and Rain is. And how much the two couples love each other

The beach scene was the most meaningful for me. In many countries, same-sex marriage is not yet allowed. But it's about time that this is changed. I think the scene could encourage many couples out there.

What bothered me about the episode was the sound quality. I really don't know what happened during cutting and mixing. In some places the background music is way too loud or completely out of place.

But in general, it's a series that I could watch over and over again.

They can't be serious...

This was the worst possible ending for the series and I am so disappointed.
I was okay with the final episodes 7 and 13, they redeemed at least some of the fuck ups of earlier episodes. It could have been a nice basis for the special epsiode, but they totally screwed it up.

I honestly expected the special epsiode to give us a glimpse of their lives together after all the drama, their evolving relationships, their future plans etc. Instead the special epsiode focuses just on Payu and Prapai being too desireable for their own good. That itself is not the main problem, Rain and Sky being insecure and unsure in their relationships could have been a nice storyline, with Payu and Prapai reassuring their boyfriends.
But no, the insecurity-problem is brushed over with Rain putting Payu in a costume and Sky and Prapai screwing in a bath tub...wow. It was so difficult to watch, because it's so UNBELIEVABLY CRINGEY and also a lot OOC in my opinion.
That's also the reason why their acting was not as good in this episode, it feels like the actors didn't feel comfortable at all with this storyline.
Also, Payu is a gigantic asshole to Rain and I absolutely hated it.

I regret watching this clown show of an epsiode, I'm just gonna pretend it doesn't exist...

What did I just watched, LITA?

I thought I was going to watch the usual special episodes of every BL where they end up getting married but hey. Love in the air special episode hit different.

I will choose the special ep over the main series anytime any day.

I love the fact that it was a continuation of the series but in a good way, the couple has grown to love each other.

The xx sceans hit different and it was like my first time watching LITA, kinda like how Sky stood up to the girl and put her to her place and the fact that Prai's family adore sky 😍

Once again what did i just watch? LITA?

A fanservice episode

I really liked how the story in the special episode was a continuation from where we left of in the main series. And the fact that they didn’t go for the cliché wedding scene was even better. I did find the audio a bit weird at times, the background noises being too loud. But I wasn’t too bothered by it as I use the subtitles anyways.

There was no real character growth or much plot progression (which is fine), but there was a lot of fanservice moments throughout. The special episode felt like it was meant to be just that – fanservice, with the two couples getting frisky whenever possible. The friendships between Rain and Sky and Payu and Prapai were shown too. I really liked how the scenes between the two friend pairings were incorporated into the story, especially the gossiping between Rain and Sky while the other two just observe them. This also opened the possibility for flashbacks that got to be incorporated into a story in a very clear and fitting way.

Am I annoyed by the lack of communication and misunderstandings as plot drivers for the special episode? Yes, I am. It could have easily been avoided and the boys could have just gone to a joint vacation. No extra drama needed.

I LOVE THISSSS???

This!!!! This is a masterpiece

I've been looking for good BLs, and LITA caught my attention when I watched its pilot trailer on TikTok earlier this year. That's ow I found out about the series. So sad that it has officially signed off yesterday, but I'm so happy P'MAME created the novel and made it into an unforgettable series. This special episode has new and good NCs and I don't think it will get out of my head soon enough, which is a good thing since I usually don't like shitty NC scenes, and LITA didn't disappoint really.

And additional note, a Thai BL won't be a Thai BL without beach trips🥰🥰
