Laws of Attraction

greed will consume you if you let it

Okay, so I just finished this and have 30 minutes before my class starts, so let me rate this. I would give it an 8.5 out of 10, and yeah, this took me around a year to finish, and I am glad to get it out of the way finally. A lot of people liked it, so give it a try and see for yourself.

They had a fantastic start, I will give them that. Very action-packed, very interesting, and I really do think that they set this show up perfectly. I also think the plot itself is great, especially with how unique it is. I just don't like how they dragged it out at the end. I was dogging on their chemistry at the start, but it is lowkey really good and made this show bearable. Truly. The fact that they actually gave the niece depth and made her feel like an actual person, FUCKKKK THAT ACTUALLY RIPPED ME APART. I think they did that very well, and I also like the reveal with her at the end. I thought that was really fun. Okay, so the guy who plays Tin is to die for and lowkey so fucking sexy, and got sexier as the show went on. And I think the guy who plays Charn is lowkey chopped, but his voice is beyond sexy, and he has a lady killer smile, so I will excuse it. And that is kind of it, the plot and the chemistry.

I watched the final 4 episodes on 2x speed, so that tells you a lot about this show lmao. I use the term "Vecna special" in my final episode review because they genuinely gave this show the Vecna special. They had been building up to fight this guy the entire show, and they kill his ass in like 5 minutes and go on with their lives, so I think they should have done that better. I can't lie. Also, if you can't finish this show because, like me, because you thought it got boring when they started to drag the plot out, I recommend 2x speed because it helped me understand everything so much better and actually finish it. I think they had a lot of irrelevant fucking side characters that we should have cared about, but I really didn't because they were very one-dimensional in my opinion. The young master, I think his character is fine, but I wish they had gone into more detail about him killing his mom in childbirth, and more on the fact that his dad hates him. It would have been interesting to see, but they did a one-off, and it was kind of forgettable. THESE FIGHT SCENES ARE SO BAD. OH MY GOD, THEY WERE AWFUL. The show got boring around 5-8, like shit in the fan and fell all over me. This show is one big libality, oh my god. WHY DID WE KEEP SINGING? STOP, I AM BEGGING, STOP PLEASE STOP. CHARN IS JUST SO UNNECESSARILY EVIL, AND I DONT KNOW WHY THEY DID THAT. LIKE AS SOON AS YOU THINK HE IS GONNA COME AROUND HE JUST DOES SOME EVIL SHIT AGAIN AND I THINK THAT WHOLE THING WAS BAD CHARACTER WRITING. Just an insurmountable amount of greed and awfulness. Also, the romance building got paused when they would do the plot, and then they forgot to unpause it, holy fuck. Okay, that is all.

Overview time, most of it will be positive until the lower half of this show lmao. "This is so courtroom-coded. This lawyer guy has a very sexy voice. THAT BITCH FUCKING FLEW. The lawyer has a freaky smile lmao." "SHE JUST GOT FUCKING RUN OVER HOLY FUCK, I KNEW SHE WAS GONNA DIE. They did not need to show that. I knew she was going to die. Survivor's guilt." "This lawyer shit will send his family into debt, dude. They will drag you through hell." "Villains aren't born, they are made." "Them adding more to the niece's death is just making it so much sadder, bro." "There is a reason people act the way they do, and that can impact the way they see the world and the people in it, young master. I don’t know what his real name acts like that because his dad has mistreated him his whole life." And which we found out later was because he killed his mom during childbirth, and I wish they had gone into more detail with that. "A good guy turned evil by society core." "Charn is not a villain, but if he is, that would be a crazy fucking twist." He lowkey was evil as fuck. "I understand both sides of this story, and I am very interested to see where this is going." "Not trying to be that person, but are they going to fuck?" BRUH. "Charn is so fucking hot, I can’t explain it. It's the smile and the demeanor, it's just so hot. In a mean sexy lawyer." "This show is one big liability. Also watching at 2x speed. Charm is a good lawyer, I can't lie. This show is dumb af. Grandma is a pimp. This plot is lowkey bs, and they are dragging it out." "Young master is very dead wife pretty when he is not being an embarrassment to the family name." "He straight-up ruined the kid over. Oh my God, like intentionally that’s awful, Jesus Christ, and why is he just shifting the blame on everybody, and he blamed his own son. Oh wait, that’s low-key really interesting and so awful." "Charn evil for the love of the game." "At least the Senator knows he’s evil, but Charn has spent this entire show pretending to be good.  The Senator ran over that little girl because she crossed him. He’s been evil since the start of the fucking show, he’s corrupt, he's capitalist. We know that. Mr. lawyer boy, he’s been pretending to be good this entire time, but he’s fucking awful, genuinely awful, and like you’re crying, you’re showing all these emotions, but you’re still going through with this shit because you are evil." "The show is unintentionally very woke. The ex is so funny. What is fucking happening right now! Charn, it’s just straight up evil for the love of the game. Teamwork is the dream work, I fear. There is an ungodly amount of fighting in this." "There is no way they’re getting married after all that, like we have not had any romance building whatsoever. Like we’ve had, but at the same time we haven’t. Charn is a terrible fucking guy, and are we just gonna forget about the fact that he’s a terrible guy and just like be happy and bone for 30 minutes? Holy fuck." "Just like fuck ass Stranger Things, they killed the villain in the first five minutes, then drag that shit out for another fucking hour and a half, dude."

Okay, yeah. I guess watch it, and if it gets boring, 2x speed will be your best friend. Okay bye!

Charn's chest is all I want in life

A very dramatic and soap operay BL with a lot of sweet and cute moments near the end. Not really gonna get into details since I think this is worth a watch for any BL fan, as long as you don't mind a couple of slightly awkward drama scenes. But overall I thought the emotional scenes hit extremely well and that the enemies to lovers transition in this BL was done perfectly. For anyone who has seen and enjoyed To Sir, With Love but was disappointed with the lack of actual BL in it. This is definitely gonna catch your fancy. Its also a very digestible eight episodes in length compared to To Sir, With Love's 17.

This is a great show, what is it with you people??

Maybe I went in with my expectations too low because I saw the reviews and ratings. But I absolutely loved this and I don't understand why so many seemed to have an issue with this show. It was dark, it was funny, it was ridiculous and it was absolutely entertaining. The acting was amazing. Especially Charn. I loved that sleazy little bastard man with that slimy nasty grin that hides so much pain and suffering. He was unlikeable in a fun way that makes you go 'oh you magnificent bastard' and had fantastic chemistry with Tin and honestly every character. The side couple was also wonderful and had such a heartbreaking yet beautiful story. Ignore the haters and nay sayers, this is an underrated little treasure and deserves a much higher rating.

Was it perfect? No. Did I have an amazing time watching this? Hell yes!!

Very Thai Lakorn style

If you are watching this just because it's a BL you might not fully be able to enjoy it cause honestly there are very few moments of romance. It is more on mystery. semi-thriller and focused less on the romance and more on the plot. Which I didn't exactly dislike. Rather sometimes I like to watch plot driven drama where romance is a side character.
I liked the chemistry of the lead actors but the very little romantic moments between them didn't let the chemistry bloom to a even greater level. It's a slow burn but there is a way to do slow burn right. You need to show progression to keep the viewer hooked. However they did have few more plot points to keep the viewers hooked with all the mystery behind Tonkhao's death.
Acting and cinematography wise this is very much Thai lakorn. With all the slow motions, picture quality, dialogues and zoomed in shocked faces this gave me the taste of Thai lakorns I used to watch back in 2017. However compared to how far the BL industry has came forward with great quality content and budget this might not be up to the mark yet again highlighting social injustice, the character development of Charn and overall the plot is the selling point for this show and I absolutely liked it. Whoever wrote Charn's character did an outstanding job and Film (the actor playing) gave a mind-blowing performance playing a complex character like him. I could feel his pain. He might not be justified for his actions but we could see why and how he turned out to be the way he is.
I wish the camera work was a bit better, all it lacked was a good quality cinematography and I wouldn't mind giving it a solid 8.5. It's a great watch though.

Lawful Manners of Deadly Attraction

This title was supposed to be a (poor) homage to Manner of Death aka one of my favorite crime Bls to this day.

Laws of Attraction was all over my dashboard and timeline for MONTHS, so I did have quite some expectations. I was hoping that this could be the Manner of Death of 2023. The premise was very interesting and I did enjoy the first episode. Though, the show didn't manage to keep up my interest throughout the other seven episodes. I'm not entirely sure if I want this show to be longer to flesh out some characters and arcs or if I need this show to fix the pacing and speed things up and use the gained time more efficiently. I'm not super nitpicky about the fight scenes, the VFX/CGI and other stuff, but the budget was noticeable. This show reminded me a lot of Manner of Death, the amount of times they get beat up or chased and almost killed is nearly identical. The acting was also a little over the top or stiff. The main couple was nice in theory but Tinn seemed a bit too good for Charn. Like there was no "okay they are both unhinged, I can see it work". On one hand you have squeaky clean goody-two-shoes big bro and on the other hand you have a corrupt lawyer who has no issue faking evidence and putting innocent people behind bars and burning down houses to get what he wants. I feel like Charn had great potential but was screwed over by the writing and pacing of the show. The side couple managed to steal my heart. What can I say, I am a sucker for the bodyguard trope. Though I gotta admit, that I did struggle with Thaenthai quite a lot in the first few episodes. Specifically his apathy and disregard for other people and their death. But his character arc and storyline was interesting. The execution was fine, nothing groundbreaking or new, but fine. The sapphic couple was a nice addiction though very minor. The scene about marriage equality was brief and a little too on-the-nose, but I liked it nonetheless.

I've already rewatched this twice !!

I like how mature the series is
A drama that deserves a round applause after finishing the whole thing i wish it was longer but its short and straight to the point a dilemma between a manipulator and a straight forward blunt guy in a set of dramatic events and (the infamous bathtub scene of sir thanapat kawila... sorry i had to say that ) rethinking his life choices because of his partner .
if you watch enough drama of him You'll notice that, the first time i watched him ,his smile creeped me out and then as i continue watching i saw how talented he is by conveying the rule of a person who is in dilemma between his good and bad self. I like the overall atmosphere of the drama, they deserve more romantic scenes though.
I like the background music also the side couple were great and touching .
my favorite scenes :
1- the scene where ten said he was given a packed meal and couldn't repay that yet is my all favorite among the series.
oh and ,
2-when maya starts singing for them while they were melting for each other so good Very well done scene
and ,,
3- tin grabbing charn's waist claiming ownership.
those scenes are great for a short series its really packed with emotions
and ,,,
4- the saddest for me when charn was cuddling with tin saying how he's a sucker for him and how he loves him knowing that he's Planning to do some seriously dangerous shit for his boyfriend after he was given a second chance when he decided to run away the first time!!

the ending was satisfying for both couples i like the grandma she gives such a great advices for her grandsons when she adviced tin to dig the reason charn is this way or when she said you can't have it all in a relationship

A Must Watch Great BL Series

I knew about Laws of Attraction because I watched Jam and Film's previous BL Series, To Sir with Love. Having that standard from their past series, I kind of expected a lot from this series.

Charn is a lawyer who is selfish and doesn't care about other people's feelings. As long as he will win his client's case, he will do everything. One night, after winning a murder case, he was stopped by the victim's brother. He is blaming Charn saying that because of him, the culprit was not punished. He is so angry that he will stab Charn. Thankfully, he was saved by Tin. Charn wants to treat him to a meal, but Tin got a call and it was an emergency.

One day, when Tin and his niece, Tonkhao, went home from the karate lesson, Tonkhao did the house chores listed by her grandmother. Since Tin is tired, he fell asleep. Tin went to the market by herself to buy something. When she's going home, she was suddenly hit by a rushing car. The car was owned by Senator Thattep' son, Thaenthai.

Tin blamed himself of Tonkhao's death, saying that he fell asleep that is why Tonkhao went to the market. With the family grieving, Tin went to see Senator Thattep saying that the suspect must be criminalized. Tin went to different places wearing a signage as a protest about his niece's death.

The next day, Charn showed-up in the house of Tin. Tin thought that Charn will help their family to win the hit and run case, but the truth is that Charn is the lawyer of Thaenthai. He brough-out a 10,000,000 baht check in return of Tin's silence. He got angry and torn the check saying that no amount of money will stop them from bringing justice for his niece. Charn did all the way to make Tin silenced, such as posting his bank account online to gather donation for his niece and then spreading news that Tin is using that money for his bad habits.

Fast forward, Charn and Senator Thattep had a closed meeting. Charn said that he needs to have a meeting with the suspect, Thaenthai. Senator Thattep disagreed, not wanting for them to meet. When Charn went outside the house, he met Thaenthai. He provoked Thaenthai by provoking him. The next day, Charn was cut-off from being their lawyer. Since he was furious, he decided to instead help Tin and his family in bringing-out the truth from Tonkhao's death. The story revolved around finding-out what really happened that day and punishing the suspect, Thaenthai.

Plot (10/10) - The plot was great. Another not so unique, yet different genre of a Boys Love series. You can see how each episodes jump from each other. You can see clearly the improvement of each scenes and how it affects the improvements of each characters. The plot was clear in a way that you can see where the story is heading. But the plot twist is kind of expected, yet still made me awe.

Acting & Casts (10/10) - As I always say in my reviews, the charm of a story is the way the actors portray their character, and as expected from Film, Jam, and the other casts, they did great.

Film (Charn) - He is always making me jaw drop with how he portrayed his emotions of feeling like having two different personalities. The way he mysteriously yet clearly showed us how Charn acts as a person and lawyer. He is really great!

Jam (Tin) - His crying scenes are amazing! He is so natural whenever he cries, so a big applause for that!

Film and Jam - Their chemistry is really great in this series. Compared to their previous BL Series, To Sir With Love, Law of Attraction really brought-out the best of the both of them. Their kissing scenes are really a candy in the eyes. Their acting is really great whenever there are scenes together.

Thaenthai & Thee - Their story made me feel sad. At first, I was always saying that Thaenthai deserves all the things that are happening to him, like the abuse of his father. But when I knew that he is not the main culprit in the end, it is just that it was his car, I felt sad for him. All he wants is the love from his father. Thankfully, they got their happy ending in the end.

I also want to highlight the support system of Charn and Tin: Grandmother, the bar owner, and the bar singer. They are such a good support system because of how they lift-up the main characters from the beginning till the end.

In totality, Laws of Attraction is a really great, recommendable, and a must watch BL series, because it will not disappoint the viewers.

Loved this show!

Everyone got the ending they deserved. I really enjoyed this series. It was fresh, funny, and kept me guessing. I wish we got more of Nawin because he was my favorite character despite only being in two episodes. He was hilarious and the only time an ex making a comeback was ACTUALLY entertaining. 😂

I loved the couples and I fell so hard for the side couple. 🥺 Thee is the most amazing person.

I also appreciate any BL that ends in a wedding! They really emphasized the importance of equal rights and the fight they continue to fight in Thailand. 💜

The story is really good. The characters are amazing, their chemistry as well. Highly recommend.

This is a BL but I actually laughed a good bit. There were ALOT of sexual tension, yet it was the last 2 episodes when they actually did anything, it was like "explosive, heartwarming, and emotional" It's not like a "typical" BL where they get it on alot and about romance the whole series lol.
There were parts when they'd get close to kiss but then it's like OMG HURRY UP AND KISS, you both know you want to lol. I guess you can call it a crime genre as well, but added BL.
I don't write reviews, but I had to for this cause they give this a 7.9!? I've rewatched multiple times. I love Film and Jam, their chemistry is through the roof. Also love their characters. Film's character does this grin and that's when you know he's up to something, which is pretty much 98% of the time. I won't do any spoilers, you'll have to watch it instead lol.
Film looks exactly like James. Some angles and what not, I had to do a double take.
I literally can write alot about this. I'm picky with my BLs as well now. They're starting to get repetitive, so I rate them strictly too. If it's a 10/10 for me, it must be amazing lol. I will be rewatching again very soon, like my 5th or 6th. (I know that's alot)
My favorite 2 BLs at this moment, are Laws of Attraction and My Stand-In. I just finished My Stand-In today, I highly recommend it too.

SLOW BURN BUT IT GOT ME HOOKED

Law of Attraction really caught my attention! Film totally nailed his role as a sharp, cunning lawyer. Even though the leads didn’t get along at first, you could feel the tension and the attraction right away. And I loved Film's smile, he is like a devilish haha! I actually enjoyed this series a lot because I’m into shows that mix action, drama, and a bit of romance.

There are plenty of plot twists, which kept me hooked from the very first episode. Usually, I can tell within a few eps if I’m into a series or not, but this one had me right away. The cinematography is pretty average, and the romance is definitely a slow burn almost no kissing scenes but the chemistry is still there.

If you're expecting a full-on BL romance, this might not be your thing. It's more of a balanced mix of action, mystery, drama, and a touch of romance. Personally, I like that kind of setup. Also, shoutout to Film’s lesbian friends in the series, they were such a vibe and had amazing chemistry too!
