Love upon a Time

Love Upon a Time
12 episodes

When this drama first started, I wasn’t sure it would keep my full attention, but thankfully I was wrong. While some actors didn’t quite match the chemistry of their co-stars, the overall experience was still enjoyable. Setting aside the silliness of Klao’s character and focusing on the drama, beautiful cinematography, and traditional attire made it easy to overlook his antics. I loved how even a simple scene like bathing in a historical setting became an OMG moment. The series also touched on the opium crisis in history and its devastating effects, which added depth. It covered everything I find fascinating about Thai culture.

My favorite characters were:
🔥🔥🔥 Phop (past and present – excellent acting)
🌻🌻🌻 Kaew (past and present – gorgeous and talented)
*** Jom (past and present)

Credit to the screenwriters May Piangpaitoon Satrawaha and Porndee Satrawaha for their excellent work. My only drawback was the casting; while many Thai dramas pair established couples, sometimes one actor excels at expressions while the other lacks subtlety or overacts, which can break the scene’s ambiance. For me, the lead pairings here were just mediocre, so I couldn’t rate it higher than 9/10.

ANOTHER HIT FROM DMD !!

I geniunely admire DMD for never missing on bls. Everytime an episode ends, I can't help wondering what would happen next. I love NetJj so much, they did so well portraying Phop and Klao. There were so many unpredictable scenes and that's what I love about this series.

The production of this series was very tough, and I could say that every single thing was worth it. The amount of effort they have put in this was crazy, like I was really anticipated from the first till the very last episode. I have been waiting for this series ever since the very first pilot trailer and it geniunely makes me feel so teary-eyed now that it has ended T__T

(Also, my favorite thing about LUAT is Daydream OST:3 I LOVE Bowkylion. When I first heard her voice I was actually loosing my mind 😭😭😭.)

I would like to add the fact that Kim is gorgeous (like I am not even exaggerating when I say he's THAT beautiful). Everytime he appears on screen I just start crashing out because he's too stunning.

Anyways, all I can say is that I am so happy to be here since day one. Believe me when I say it's THAT good. Trust me, everything about this is beautiful and I recommend everyone to watch it !!

(never forgetting that 5 minute scene from tutoryim by the way... it made me wanna bawl my eyes out)

so worth the wait

I really don't even know what specifically to touch upon with this series, I'm kinda in awe after the last episode.
Net and JJ did such a fantastic job, Domundi really does put in the effort.
The yearning you feel watching both NetJJ and LatteKim's character stories is addicting imo.
I personally love period drama's, and this one did not disappoint.
JJ's character is such a goofball but I was so here for it, I truly did not expect him to pull a 180 with the scenes where the character is being killed/harmed.
I have to make a point about Latte and Kim, I was really impressed with them. Kim is absolutely gorgeous, the final episode had him all glammed up and I was here for it.
The NC scenes were done so well too.
I think, personally, the last episode felt a bit rushed. Everything happened so fast with the memories reveal and all the things leading up to Nakun going back in time and returning to the present day, I was not expecting Phop to have already been waiting. I really did like how they handled the time travel bit, I just wished it was prolonged a little more maybe?
It's still a fantastic series in my eyes and I am looking forward to what both NetJJ and LatteKim bring to the table moving forward.

PERFECT IN ANY ANGLE and NO BORING EPS

I have always been an "isekai" kind of viewer—from Mr. Queen to IFYLITA—and I can confidently say that this is one of those series that stays with you long after the final credits roll.

First, the cast, especially the main couple. Their chemistry is simply magnetic and, in my opinion, among the best I've seen in the entertainment industry. The acting felt natural, authentic, and emotionally gripping. NETJJ did an incredible job portraying every twist and turn of emotions throughout LUAT. And the antagonists? They made my blood boil—which only proves how well they played their roles.

Second, the OSTs. Absolute chef's kiss. No further explanation needed.

Third, the cinematography. Massive kudos to the production team behind this masterpiece. Every scene was beautifully crafted and visually stunning.

Fourth, I have to commend the animation and opening credits. It's the kind of opening you never skip. The concept was creative, unique, and perfectly executed.

And finally, the plot twist. Whoever came up with that deserves all the praise. Finding out that Phop was the mastermind all along completely blew my mind. If fate works hard, Phop works even harder. He literally did everything he could to make sure that he and Klao would reunite and continue the love story that was cut short. And honestly? I LOVED THAT.

This series gave me everything—romance, emotions, beautiful visuals, unforgettable music, and a plot twist that genuinely caught me off guard. Definitely one for the books.

Good but not the best. The drama was basically spammed 10s to raise the rating

I am a huge sucker for historical dramas. It may be straight or BL and this is probably on the bottom on the list. Now that doesn't mean this is bad. It's an above average show. Pretty good just not the best. After having a 7.2 during the initial episodes fans basically spammed 10s to raise it's rating but yeah 8.5 is reasonable.

I started this show cz i saw edits on the trailer and it looked sooo good but then the 1st few episodes. Especially ep 1 were disastrous. With JJ just screaming for no damn reason in ep 1. I really wanted to drop it but then i didn't wanna judge it too fast and fans were like give it a chance and that's how i ended up chucking netjj on dmd 2. Well I think I hated this drama till ep 5. I literally forced myself to watch it cz it was soo confusing and the whole time travel thing felt pointless along with the drama on its own. But later it improved. The drama got much more engaging, interesting and JJs acting also improved. But i felt they should have distributed the plot a bit throughout the series instead of revealing everything in the last 15 mins of the drama. I personally wanted a few more episodes in the modern era but yeah they pretty much tie up all the lose ends although a little late.

Coming to our pairs netjj and lattekim.

Netjj - as someone who has watched and loved bed friend I wasn't very convinced that NetJJ would work on screen. But they work just fine🤭 there are times where both are on absolute different wavelengths and not in sync when it comes to acting but i think they will get a hang of it as they work together. They definitely did a great job and u could see they're comfortable with each other.

LatteKim - I've liked Latte in dmd1 and i didn't know he got a partner and such a pretty one at that. I was pleasantly surprised and loved it. I literally waited for them the whole series our precious JomKaew❤️❤️❤️. I've got 0 complaints with them. They did an amazing job.

2 of my fav scenes are related to them. 1 is the scene where the bowl in the painting gets fixed in the last ep and 2nd could be TutorYim's cameo n Jom's trauma 🤌🤌🤌🤌 i went from hating jom to loving him.

Overall yep it's good u can watch it.

I honestly didn’t expect JJ to match the level of performance that James brought to the character, but he completely proved me wrong. From the very beginning, JJ delivered a natural and convincing portrayal that made it easy to get immersed in the story. He didn’t just act out the role—he truly understood it. Every expression and emotion felt genuine, showing how much effort he put into bringing the character to life. Instead of trying to imitate anyone, JJ made the role his own, and that really stood out.
As the story progressed, his performance became even stronger and more impactful. He added depth to Klao/Nakhun, making the character feel real and relatable. His emotional scenes were especially impressive...they felt raw, sincere, and deeply moving. You could clearly see the growth in his acting, and it made every moment more engaging to watch. His screen presence and chemistry also played a big role in making the story more enjoyable and memorable.
What I appreciated the most was how JJ connected with the audience. He made it easy to feel every emotion his character went through, whether it was happiness, pain, or love. By the end, I wasn’t comparing him to anyone anymore... I was simply enjoying his performance for what it was. JJ truly proved that he was the perfect choice for the role of Klao/Nakhun, and his performance left a strong impression on me. Overall, I really loved watching him and felt that he did complete justice to the character .... Lots of love to Netjj ❤️🫶

After watching the first 4 episodes of Love Upon a Time, I can honestly say this drama is so, so good. The storytelling keeps getting better, and the emotions feel even deeper with each episode.

Net’s character really stands out to me. You can clearly see how lost he is, and the way he craves love feels so real and painful at the same time. It makes you understand him more, even when he’s struggling.

Latte and Kim… this part really hurts. Latte knows that Kim loves him, yet he keeps playing with Kim’s feelings. It’s frustrating but also so emotional to watch. You can feel Kim’s heartbreak more and more, and it honestly made me so sad.

Also, this is my first time watching JJ, and I’m really impressed. He’s cute, funny, and natural—but at the same time, he delivers the emotional scenes so well.

Overall, I’m really enjoying Love Upon a Time so far. The chemistry, the emotions, and the storyline are all so captivating. If you haven’t started it yet, you should definitely give it a try!
