breathtaking masterpiece
I am very strict when it comes to raiting, but I can’t even find a single bad thing about this show. The cinematography is breathtaking, the plot is very well thought of, thr music is beautiful and has immaculate vibe that perfectly fits to the show. While watching it I have not felt bored even for a second, even tho the episodes are more than an hour long, and I often get bored while watching 40min ones. The acting is amazing too, the show is at times funny and sad. it is just perfect. This series has amazing production and is visibly done with a lot of thought and care. For sure one of the best shows I have ever watchedWas this review helpful to you?
A Story of Love that Transcends Lifetimes
I have never written a review on here before, but I felt I had to for this show, as it has become my new favorite BL to date. This was the most achingly beautiful love story told in such a perfect way. I was hooked the moment the show started. The atmospher, lighting, writing, directing, editing, cinematography, production/sound/set design, wardrobe/hair/makeup, etc, were all top notch. I could feel the love and care that went into this show with the attention to detail and level of authenticity. And don't even get me started on the casting, acting, and chemistry! I fell in love with these characters and their relationships with eachother. I adored them and was heavily emotionally invested in their journey and their happiness. This show truly did have it all. It was funny; it was serious; it was romantic; it was breathtaking; it was mysterious; it was heartbreaking; it was sweet; etc., etc. I felt anything and everything while watching this. The story was so meaningful and one of the only BL's that actively made me cry (for various reasons). This is one of those shows that stays with you after it's done and is one I will absolutely come back to and watch again and again throughout the years. I appreciate EVERYONE who was involved in making this show become a reality 🧡Was this review helpful to you?
The cast was fantastic across the board, but JJ especially stood out. The chemistry between Net and JJ was spot-on. Their interactions felt natural, sincere, and believable. JJ, though, completely blew me away. He gave way more than I expected, and I can’t wait to see what project he and Net take on next. The final episode wrapped everything up perfectly, leaving us with a beautiful message. Highly recommended!

one of the best time travel bls
netjj portrayed PhopKlao/Nakhun so good, it was like everyone was teleported into the story. I love how they gave them a whole episode in the present time and not like some kdramas where the main leads meet again in the last 5 minutes. The OSTs were so meaningful and they fit the vibe of this amazing story. I would gladly rewatch this drama again. and I also love the way they actually even gave some theory about time travel and the plot twist at the end, showing that Phop made everything possible was mind-blowing.Was this review helpful to you?

Love Upon a Time: A Beautifully Crafted Series with Outstanding Chemistry
Love Upon a Time is a drama series that truly leaves a lasting impression. From the very beginning, it manages to create a strong, beautiful, and captivating atmosphere. One of its biggest strengths is the incredible chemistry between the two male leads. Their connection feels very natural, powerful, and convincing, without feeling forced or cringe at all. Every interaction between them feels genuine, emotional, and easy for the audience to connect with.The main actors deliver excellent performances and bring their characters to life with sincerity and depth. Their acting feels expressive yet never excessive. The supporting cast also plays an important role in making the story richer and more engaging. Each character adds something meaningful to the overall world of the series.
In terms of production, Love Upon a Time is also visually impressive. The costumes are beautifully detailed and perfectly match the tone of the story. The atmosphere, locations, visuals, and language are all handled extremely well. Every element feels carefully thought out and works together to create a very memorable viewing experience.
Overall, Love Upon a Time is truly an amazing project that deserves more recognition. It stands out not only because of its story and characters, but also because of its chemistry, acting, visuals, and overall atmosphere. I highly recommend this series to be aired again, as it is genuinely outstanding and deserves to be enjoyed by a wider audience.

The cinematography, and costumes were amazing. Everyone MUST watch this drama. I know I'll be re-watching this over and over for years to come.Was this review helpful to you?
10/10 - Absolute Masterpiece!
I just finished the finale Episode, and I am honestly so sad that this journey of waiting for new Episode is over. I used to look forward to new episodes every single Friday, and now it leaves a huge void. To be fair, I don't usually watch historical dramas, but this Series completely blew me away. It is easily one of the best series I have ever seen. Before this, I didn't even know JJ, but his performance along with the entire cast was absolutely phenomenal. On top of that, the music and the soundtrack are incredibly beautiful. Everything about this production is just perfect. I am heartbroken that it's over, but at the same time, I cannot recommend it enough. If you haven't watched it yet, please do yourself a favor and stream it. It deserves all the love! 💖Was this review helpful to you?
Historical, Romance, Fantasy? All three genres fit this series perfectly.
If you like stories like this, you won’t find anything particularly new here. It’s the same old tale that’s been rehashed a million times. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes you just want to sit back and enjoy a familiar story done well.This was actually a very pleasant, beautifully shot, and emotional series that kept me hooked enough to look forward to a new episode every week. The pacing is solid, even though it slows down a little after the midpoint. The characters are easy to like or dislike, depending on the situation.
As a romance, it was mild, incredibly cute, and charming. I genuinely felt that the love between Phop and Klao was real and deep. You could see their feelings in the way they looked at each other, how they talked, how they touched, and how they cared. The teasing, the sweet moments, and the times they showed vulnerability were absolutely adorable. I was really grateful that the story didn’t rely on over-the-top drama to prove their love.
Seeing them reconnect was delightful.
And can we talk about the side characters? Kaew and Jom were the cutest! It was a bit frustrating at times because they just needed to sit down and talk, but I loved how everything turned out perfectly in the end.
Romance aside, I really loved this show for the friendships and the overall warm vibe.
As a fantasy (time travel) story, I understand how difficult it is to do something truly fresh in this genre — and that wasn’t really the main goal here. What mattered more was why he ended up in the past and what he needed to do to find his way back. That emotional core was handled nicely.
As a historical drama, it captured the atmosphere beautifully. It gave me enough detail to imagine the world and how people lived at the time.
Overall, I had a lot of fun watching it. It’s a really good series. My only small complaint is that the miscommunication was dragged out until the very end, and I wish I could have enjoyed their time together in the present a bit more.

Love never ends
I saw NetJJ in The New Prince with Zeenunew so thought i would give this a try and I am glad I did... The story isn't unique as it has been done before in I feel you linger in the air, (literally the only reason i dropped it half a point on story) but the acting is wonderful and makes this a stand out watch for me. JJ is so likeable, cute and enthusiastic, whilst Net is just so effortless, in the best way. 10 minutes into the finale and i was bawling like a baby, Net is so good at showing emotions, i really felt it. I am so glad they got their happy ever after, as well as the second couple...Kim as Kaew /Pun is so beautiful and Latte as Jom/Thee - I am a sucker for a happy ending. I dont do sad!! I dont feel like it dragged at all and looked forward to it every week.Was this review helpful to you?
A well arounded achievement that will dwell in your heart
LOVE UPON A TIME - ReviewYesterday I finally watched episde 12, the finale, and what a finale it was; one of those, if you went along the dangers, the love, the challanges, the sadness is like a great triumphant ending of a symphony, one of the kind of ending that sticks for you long thereafter.
Since it is the premise that is know Natkun is send back to the time 400 years ago into the Ayutthaya period of Thailand with a task that he needs to bring completion and justice. Net and JJ are the ship as Phop and captain of the guard and Natkun/Khlao, who lives Phob's family household due to previous tragedy.
Personally I admit, I didn't understand why JJ playing so overreating and partially comedic felt so out of place. A GenZ kid suddently in a 400 years before place, I didn't find this overreaction misplaced and giving a bit a fun into an otherwise non-comedy series wasn't even noticed by me until others mentioned it as strange.
Anyway, even if the first or the first two episodes put you off, I am not overstating when I say, LOVE UPON A TIME is one of a few really great BL's, it achieves to be more than even some other great series: it creates a place you feel like you live in it alongside with all the others. Like a not connected invisible person being THERE. And it is especially that achievement that will make a great impact on my rating, since even other great series like Me and Thee or Khemjira, I felt to be great, but only in LOVE UPON A TIME I felt like I AM THERE.
The series managed to balance perfectly between a love story, a crime story and a period drama, where none of the parts loses or overextends at the expense of the other, they are more than balanced, they perfectly intertwine over time. There are many reveals, many very special moments of BL, crime and drama, a wonderful scenic place and cinematography, and good and not intrustive music and each character, from the MC to the Second Couple and the "background" characters, every single one was doing great in their role and place.
I will take this series in my heart as a place I have been, not merely a series I have watched. I know nothing of the actors previously, and I prefer it that way. Sure, there are things of preference when it comes to acting, but I felt all the right buttons pushed and all characters plausible. And that finale of finales! I assume some may have seen it spoiled but I shall do none of the like. If Net and JJ had the stardom level of Pond and Phuwin or Fourth and Gemini, the series would have been even more recognized, but Net and JJ didn't show being any less good in these role, if you ask me.
This with my heart still being somewhat in old Thailand, I comfortably give this a deserved
10/10
Must have seen.

A Time Travel BL That Hooks You Instantly
Wow, what a premiere. MandeeWork have done it again. From the very first episode, Love Upon a Time pulls you in with its unique concept and doesn’t let go.Net and JJ are back, and their presence alone already guarantees something special, but this time it feels even bigger. A historical Thai BL set in the Ayutthaya period with a time travel twist is such a refreshing change, and the execution so far is seriously impressive. The production, cinematography, and attention to historical detail make everything feel rich and immersive without losing that signature BL charm.
The first episode strikes the perfect balance between humor and intrigue. It’s genuinely funny in moments, yet there’s an underlying mystery that keeps you curious. Watching Klao struggle to adapt to a world without modern technology is both entertaining and surprisingly relatable. You can already tell the chaos is coming, and it’s going to be so fun to watch unfold.
The chemistry is another highlight. Net as Phop brings a quiet intensity, while JJ’s portrayal adds a layer of charm and confusion that works perfectly for the story. Their dynamic already feels engaging, and the slow build of their relationship is something to really look forward to.
Every cast member fits their role well, and no one feels out of place. It’s rare to see such a strong ensemble right from episode one.
If this premiere is anything to go by, Love Upon a Time is shaping up to be one of those hidden gems that deserves way more attention. The concept is fresh, the execution is solid, and the potential is huge.
This is the kind of series that reminds you why you love Thai BL in the first place.
