Not the best BL series 2023 by far...

What I like:
production quality
costumes
music
most acting

What I dislike:
The ending; yes it's fantasy and so on, but it's not believable.
Jom - he is sometimes docile, sometimes mature. Only in the finale after "returning" he is much more believable.
Stereotype evil Robert, he is too plain, just a 08/15 bad character from one of the cheap novels published every week, no depth, no other side of him, just 10 pages worth of the 60 pages.
Story-Plotholes: While Yai falling in love was shown for a long time, Jom just did it out of the blue, overcoming his trauma from ep 1 in a blink of an eye. To be gay in early 20th century was by far not as easy as it's depicted in this story. Yai confesses he loves Jom and the father was relativly mild., compared to other series where the family explodes even today. There were always exceptions to the rule but it makes this point of the story not believable.
Pacing: After Robert is removed from the series everything is dragged on an on which made me skip some scenes.
Yai with silly Mustache

Summary:
While the production quality was top notch, music was very fitting, the acting overall very good, the setting something unique, the ending unbelievable and the preview of a second season unnecessary, this show is a mixed bag. Jom should have been more struggeling and maybe slowly falling in love in episode 7 with the first spicy scene in episode 8. But of course they could have paced the show faster with some serene scenes inbetween. If there is a second season I hope they will not repeat the same mistakes they did this time where script and direction was sometimes weak.

AN ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE FROM TEE BUNDIT & RAHAT HATSAMANAT!!

This series stands out as a unique entry in the Thai BL genre, blending elements of science fiction, fantasy and historical narrative in a way that is rarely seen. It explores the intriguing concept of time travel, utilizing a wormhole to transport characters from the present to the past, which naturally introduces historical themes. Set in the picturesque northern city of Chiang Mai rather than the bustling Krung Thep, the series employs a distinct northern Thai dialect, setting it apart from the more commonly heard language in other BL series. While I may not be an expert in Thai linguistics, the differences are palpable to any devoted fan of the genre. The cultural richness is further enhanced by its exploration of northern Thai history, vividly depicted through traditional attire and cuisine. I still chuckle at the scene in Episode 2 where Por Jom encounters dishes like Rotten Meat, Nam Prik Num, Spicy Frog Salad, and even the steamed curry made from pig's brain, a favorite food of Ming, showcasing the region's culinary quirks. Additionally, the architectural design reflects the elegance of the 1920s, merging British and northern Thai styles, with the stunning House of Palathip and its riverside veranda evoking a bygone era when waterways served as vital thoroughfares. This historical approach to the BL narrative is indeed a rarity, making it a refreshing addition to contemporary offerings.

THE NOVEL Itself
In exploring this extraordinary series, it is essential to examine its foundational narrative, particularly as presented in the novel by Violet Rain. This literary work emerges as a breathtaking masterpiece, intricately weaving a story that transcends conventional notions of love. It delves into the deep and often overlooked bonds between individuals of the same gender, primarily focusing on male-to-male relationships, while also elegantly depicting the love shared among women and the intricate dynamics inherent in master-servant interactions. The plot unfolds through the experiences of a daughter sold into servitude, whose life becomes intertwined with that of a British officer and his Northern Thai lover. This narrative creates a rich tapestry that spans both contemporary and historical contexts, inviting reflections on the concept of reincarnation. The theme of reincarnation is artfully interwoven throughout the story, as illustrated by the love stories of Por Jom's former boyfriend and his fiancée, alongside the poignant narratives of Por Jom's sister and Uncle Tan's son. As Por Jom navigates various timelines, he encounters a host of characters, including Commander Yai, Khun Yai, Ohm, Fong Kaew, Kaeng San, and Eeng Peung, all of whom are intricately linked to his past experiences. Ultimately, "I Feel You Linger In The Air" serves as a profound exploration of the intricacies of love and yearning, set against a backdrop of ethereal beauty and emotional depth. The narrative unfolds through a series of vivid, sensory experiences that evoke nostalgia, capturing the ephemeral moments that linger in both mind and heart. Central to this tale is the theme of connection, as characters navigate the delicate balance between presence and absence, illustrating how love can transcend physical limitations. The setting plays a pivotal role, with lush landscapes and atmospheric details that amplify the emotional resonance, crafting a world where every element feels vibrantly alive and intricately intertwined with the characters' emotional journeys. The writing is lush and poetic, skillfully utilizing metaphor and vivid imagery to express deep emotional currents, inviting readers to delve into the rich inner lives of the characters. Each character is meticulously crafted, representing distinct viewpoints on themes of love, grief, and the relentless march of time, which adds a profound depth to their relationships. The narrative unfolds in a non-linear fashion, intertwining past and present in a way that illustrates how memories influence current experiences and shape future decisions. Throughout the text, symbolism plays a significant role, with recurring themes that highlight the fleeting nature of existence and the lasting significance of treasured moments. The story reaches an emotional zenith that is both purging and contemplative, encouraging readers to reflect on their own journeys of love and the enduring impressions it leaves behind. Ultimately, I Feel You Linger In The Air beckons readers to appreciate the beauty found in ephemeral connections, celebrating the remarkable ways in which love can resonate long after it has slipped from sight. I will refrain from divulging further details, as the true enchantment lies in your personal exploration of this mesmerizing narrative.

THE PRODUCTION
The Production of this series is nothing short of a triumph, showcasing the exceptional talents of Tee Bundit and Rahat Hatsamanat. Their previous works, including Jack & Joker, My Stand In, Lovely Writer, Hidden Agenda, Step by Step, and the iconic TharnType, exemplify their mastery in creating compelling narratives with exquisite mise-en-scène, skillful cinematography, and meticulous editing.

STORYLINE, SCRIPT & PERFORMANCES
Regarding the Storyline and Script, while certain minor elements deviate from the original novel, the overall execution remains commendable. Although some aspects that could have been improved from the novel are absent in the series, this does not detract from the narrative's integrity. The carefully crafted script effectively conveys the essence of the story, addressing any potential shortcomings seamlessly. Having read the novel, I can identify minor weaknesses that may be present in the adaptation, yet they are insignificant in the grand scheme. To delve further on this aspect, The series 'I Feel You Linger in The Air' captivates audiences with its intricately woven storyline, showcasing a masterful blend of emotional depth and cultural nuances that resonate profoundly with viewers. The script is a testament to exceptional writing, featuring eloquent dialogue that not only advances the plot but also enriches character development, allowing for a deeper connection with the audience. Each episode unfolds with a meticulous attention to detail, ensuring that every scene contributes meaningfully to the overarching narrative, creating a tapestry of interconnected themes and motifs. The performances delivered by the cast are nothing short of extraordinary, with each actor embodying their role with a level of authenticity that elevates the series to new heights. A standout performance comes from Bright Rapheephong and Nonkul Chanon, whose portrayal of the complex protagonist is both nuanced and compelling, capturing the character's internal struggles and triumphs with remarkable finesse. Each performance from both of them are a testament to their dedication, with their portrayals bringing authenticity and nuance to the narrative, elevating the series to a realm of artistic excellence. A highlight example of this brilliance can be found in Episode 5, where Por Jom confronts a pivotal moment of self-discovery, showcasing a range of emotions from vulnerability to strength. In this episode, Nonkul Chanon's ability to convey subtle shifts in expression and tone creates a powerful connection with the audience, making the scene both heart-wrenching and uplifting. What I like in this scene is after the drawing end, there's a moment that gives me a little bit eerie feeling, while indulging in further mystery and supernatural element eventhough I know that at this particular moment, Por Jom will eventually know what exactly happen yet this particular scene is intended to gives an eerie yet mystery and supernatural vibes in myself. This also further elevated by the sound added in the background which totally giving out a great mise-en scene. The supporting cast also shines, particularly in their interactions with the lead, adding layers of complexity to the storyline and enhancing the overall viewing experience. The cinematography complements the performances beautifully, with each frame meticulously designed to reflect the emotional landscape of the characters, further immersing viewers in their world. The series does not shy away from exploring difficult themes, and the actors handle these moments with grace, ensuring that the narrative remains both impactful and thought-provoking. The chemistry among the cast is palpable, creating a dynamic that feels both authentic and engaging, drawing viewers deeper into the unfolding drama while enhancing the emotional stakes of the story and allowing for moments of genuine connection that linger long after the credits roll. Cinematic techniques, such as lighting and camera angles, are employed with precision, further amplifying the performances and adding layers of meaning to the visual storytelling. The series also excels in its ability to tackle profound themes, such as love, loss, and identity, inviting viewers to reflect on their own experiences while being immersed in the characters' journeys. The production design is lavish, with meticulously crafted sets that transport viewers into the world of the narrative, enriching the overall viewing experience and adding to the series' luxurious aesthetic. Overall, 'I Feel You Linger in The Air' stands as a paragon of excellence in contemporary television, where the synergy of a brilliant script, meticulous storytelling, and stellar performances culminate in a truly unforgettable experience.

TO SUM IT UP,
This series is a stunning blend of fantasy, Sci-Fi and historical elements, showcasing a remarkable storyline complemented by a well-crafted script, exquisite cinematography, and impressive CGI. The sound design and original soundtrack further enhance the viewing experience, making it a true masterpiece. In overall, this series intricately weaves a narrative that explores the profound connections between love, loss, and the ethereal nature of human emotions, leaving viewers captivated by its depth and sensitivity. One of the most memorable scenes in my opinion occurs in Episode 5, where the protagonists share a poignant moment under a starlit sky, symbolizing their unspoken bond and the weight of their unfulfilled desires, creating an atmosphere of both beauty and melancholy. while the authenticity of the characters is highlighted in Episode 3, where a heartfelt conversation reveals their vulnerabilities, allowing the audience to connect deeply with their struggles and aspirations, making it a standout moment in the series. In addition, Episode 7 features a breathtaking visual sequence that captures the essence of longing, as the characters navigate through a vibrant marketplace, filled with colors and sounds that mirror their emotional turmoil, enhancing the overall narrative. The brilliance of the writing which gives long-lasting memory in my view are shines in Episode 2, where poetic dialogues encapsulate the essence of love and memory, leaving a lasting impression on viewers and elevating the series to a work of art. There is also a particularly beautiful scene in Episode 6 showcases a dance between the main characters, set against a backdrop of soft candlelight, symbolizing their fleeting moments of joy amidst the chaos of their lives, creating an unforgettable visual experience. The series masterfully employs symbolism, as seen in Episode 4, where recurring motifs of nature, such as blooming flowers and changing seasons, reflect the characters' emotional journeys, adding layers of meaning to the narrative. Where as Episode 8 culminates in a heart-wrenching climax that challenges the characters' beliefs about love and sacrifice, leaving viewers in a state of reflection and admiration for the complexity of human relationships. The cinematography throughout the series is nothing short of exquisite, with each frame meticulously crafted to evoke emotions, making even the simplest moments resonate with profound significance. Ultimately, "I Feel You Linger in The Air" stands as a testament to the beauty of storytelling, with its authentic portrayal of love and loss, ensuring that its most memorable scenes will linger in the hearts of viewers long after the final credits roll. For those who have yet to experience it, I highly recommend diving into this series. While some may find the pacing a bit slow, especially given its historical context, I encourage viewers to savor the rich mise-en-scène. The ending may leave some feeling perplexed, but that’s part of the allure; the intricacies are likely to be unraveled in the anticipated second season, though its release date remains uncertain. For those eager to delve deeper, the novel offers a more comprehensive understanding of the plot.

P/s: Personally, one of my favorite moments is when Khun Yai, after a house party at his parents' home, becomes intoxicated and recites a beautiful poem by Phraya Sisunthonwohan to Por Jom, which remains one of the most exquisite pieces of Thai poetry I have ever encountered.

"mâi mao lâo láew dtàe rao yang mao rák
sùt jà hàk hâam jìt kít chà-năi
tĕung mao lâo cháo săai gôr hăai bpai
dtàe mao jai née bprà-jam túk kâm keun ฯ"

"Not a drop of liquor to interfere, drunk on love's celestial bliss
I've tried to resist this sweet intoxication
no matter how drunk I am, sobriety comes with the morning light
Drunk on love, my heart undone every night."

P/S: I guess this is the most longer review I've ever done 😂😅🙏🏻🙌🏻

Left lingering in the air

Hey uhh.. So what did they put in this? You could not have ripped me away from that first episode if you tied me to the back of an F1 car. Didn’t have the time for notes in the beginning. Didn’t really have the time to function. That was actually insane. Why have I never heard of this show?


Production/Cinematography:

Obviously takes the cake. No, no. The whole fucking bakery. Holy shit, my guy, that was amazing. The first episode was just such a masterpiece. An absolute work of art. Then of course the color choices in the filter for the past was utter perfection. I was blown away entirely by both the production and the choices made in the cinematography of this show. BRAVO.


Acting:


I’ll start with my main issue and that was I shouldn’t be crying THAT much more than the actors when their characters are the ones going through it. That applies less to Nonkul than it does to Bright, but there was an overall lack of proper portrayal of devastation that the situations faced by many of the characters were lacking. That being said, I don’t think the acting overall was horrendous or anything like that. I just think that they could have been directed to do a bit more in acting out some of the scenes. Guide was so good as Ming and I think the women, Alee, June, and Tian, and Pure, did a great job with their roles. Nonkul was fantastic in acting out his confusion and Bright really became a clueless little young master struggling with having to hide who he is and wants.


Writing:


It was a damn good story overall. I really want to read the novel now like sooo bad to see what was left out because I definitely was left wanting more. The ending was… well… it was an ending and also not? I really did not like the reunion between our Jom and young master Yai. I was expecting something far different. Like, what do you mean “Are you calling for me, Jom? I’ve always been here waiting.” Like huh? So many questions. And who owns the house? Why did she give you the key? Where has Yai been all this time? Did he like wake up one day and was like, I gotta go to that house? Did he always have that feeling/the knowledge of the past? Why was the chest in that beat up house? Why was the house so old and beat up? Is this like a long line of Yais or is it (a much better imo) story of amore random reincarnation? I needed much more than what they gave. I was looking at that dwindling run time with tears streaming down my face asking, “huh?”.


Chemsitry/Romance/Kissing:


Pretty good chemistry, not off the charts or anything though. They were cute and portrayed love and affection together quite well, but it didn’t blow me away. This is an amazing romance story, I love a bittersweet time travel story and reincarnation adds a cherry on top of that angsty sundae. The kissing was very well done. They were chaste when it called for it and devouring each other in a realistic, not overly frantic manner when it called for it. Some actors go a little too fast and frantic to the point where I’m questioning if they’ve ever made out with someone before, but these two did a lovely job with it. Love a good kiss in the rain, too.


NC Scenes:


They were all very intimate and emotional which fit the mood with the story well. I loved how Nonkul portrayed how Jom was grappling with having desire for another person after all that time apart-but-together with the same person alongside his obvious desire for release in the moment after the oil scene. And it was all without any dialogue, really impressive to see. The last NC scene was really beautifully done and I think we got the best portrayal of Yai struggling with his emotions from Bright in that scene as well.


Music/SFX:


Instrumentals were fantastic throughout. The first episode was just such a masterpiece in every way and the music is a huge part of that. However, the show would have had more impact if they stuck to instrumentals instead of adding the corny lyric songs. SFX were great for the most part. Only thing I will note is the bird sounds in like two of the scenes were super distracting because they somehow matched the timing of when the characters were talking for some reason and that felt both unnatural and off.


Definitely would have been better with a better, more understandable reunion. It was giving the reunion between Chi Cheng and Wei Wei from Revenged Love… Like WHERE IS MY DIET DR KELP sort of situation. I still want more though. Like give me everything you have and more right now or so help me. How are you gonna leave me with that ending??? WAAHHHH


Now, for some highlights from my notes:

- If Robert is unscathed at the end of this show I’m deducting at least 3 stars
- A lot of plot setup going on here
- Not the dandy men conversing in some proper english lmao
- Much to do about pigs
- James needs to step off
- Ms. Mama’s servant lady is stressing over this gay boy rn
- Oh my god more plot setup happening, is this One Piece?
- Damn caddy bitches everywhere around here huh
- Lmao @ that e-girl blush on Ming
- Bro is testing the gay waters lol
- Idk why but I’m suddenly smelling an arranged marriage. There’s a stench of fiancée in the air
- No shot that kid is theirs tho he’s like 8, unless Ma was real late with her menopause
- “Not a drop of liquor to interferer, drunk on love’s celestial bliss. I’ve tried to resist this sweet intoxication. No matter how drunk I am, sobriety comes with the morning light. Drunk on love, my heart undone every night.”
- Babygirl SNOOPING?? Tsk tsk
- Babygirl misunderstanding
- Babygirl sulking
- “I’m a lone wolf” he says. Okay, young master. Whatever you say, young master.
- Ep 06 - 00:39:23 what is that little snack I am so curious so cute
- Sorry I doubted you, Mr. James… What a gem
- *Kiss me beneath the milky twilight*
- Jom got that natural aegyo going on
- Collecting all the letters of the LGBTQs-type drama that’s what I like to SEE
- Young master looks so dapper in that clean tux
- Ming’s e-girl blush returnsss
- Ming, buddy. That’s the wrong tree. But hey, it’s a big forest…
- That smell is back… Looks like they call is Bussabong around here
- Really thought we were gonna get a touching serenade there for a minute
- *I’d like to make myself believe*
- Unc been sus since day 1
- Lmao not the hoop and stick
- Ming e-girl blush pt III
- Mr. James on the sceneeee
- I just know that green diva queen is gonna step on the mf scene
- Bro this dinner party is so dramatic but you bet your ass imma still eat it up
- Noooo you’re jooooking she’s nooot nooo pleeeease this poor woman has been through enough
- “I’ll only be gone for a few years” is WILD. Young master is way too chill about this situation for me. A FEW YEARS? No shot, my guy.
- I’m getting flashbacks to when my mom showed me Somewhere in Time (1980)...
- *We're goin' down. And you know that we're doomed. My dear, we're slow dancin' in a burnin' room. I was the one you always dreamed of, you were the one I tried to draw. How dare you say it's nothin' to me? Baby, you're the only light I ever saw. I'll make the most of all the sadness*
- It’s the STACHE MUSTACHIO YOUNG MASTER
- Lmao at the english translation being Bon Voyage and not like “safe travels”
- The spidey senses… They’re tingling…
- It would be p funny if there was 40 minutes of credits instead of them reuniting
- Oof now you gotta deal with totalling your car and the city damages from that bridge which may lead to some issues with the law and definitely will lead to your insurance getting slammed and on top of that I sure hope you’ve sobered up bc you absolutely want to avoid that potential dui charge and let’s hope you got rid of that head wound
- Bro if Ming isn’t at the door rn I’m gonna be very upset with you
- Eww, I’m upset and grossed out fr why are you guys here
- “With the matter of time, I might already be your past. But, for me, you are my future.” STOOP I can’t DO IT
- Ngl not the reunion I was looking for
- I have so many questions and there is not enough run time left to answer them
- A tid bit befuddled, I must admit
- Now hold on
- Huh?

Every reincarnation of Yai has a short time with the love of their life, only to lose them and have to live and die alone. Making a playlist sobbing rn. Reincarnation trope always hurts so good.

Finally!!

This is the first show I have heard everyone say it's amazing that actually lives up to the hype! The story was amazing, the cast was amazing!! This show will now live in my top five right along with Until we meet again. Seriously stop reading reviews and go watch it! I promise you will not be disappointed. It took me forever to find somewhere to watch it but after a lot of searching I finally found it on KissAsian. Lots of pop up ads but one hundred percent worth it. Can't find the special episode but apparently no one can find it.

Give me the season 2 and watch it to experience the art of classic

Where to begin the series was perfect only problem it had was confusing ending and not confirming the season 2 even though it's been months after it aired.
Acting was good the character development was given to almost all characters introduced but it had ending moved towards to feel more of a sad but they had a twist to the end which is like what the dash is happening in the screen.
It had wibe of kdrama like mr.queen or the scarlet love so if like those wonder what will happen if it's bl here the show. Also the ending is a open door so don't watch if have anxiety problem.

Best Thai BL series that I've ever watched

I like the story, time travelling in 1920s, it has bl, gl and straight stories and i like that, I like the clothes, place, cinematography, direction, music and of course the cast and all. Bright is super handsome and Nonkul is so cute, I like their chemistry, they gave all their best to this series and also the supporting casts are good. All of them nailed it. I hope that there will be a season 2, and also I hope that this series will discovered by Thai and International fans.

Thank you for giving us a masterpiece.

Lost in the 'Linger': One Episode's Emotional Whirlwind

Although I'm not exactly president of the Nonkul fan club, his cinematic magic once had me shuffle my schedule to attend his press tour as he dazzled cities across Asia. Let's be clear: any shade I might throw at this BL drama isn't personal vendetta; it's just my quirky taste rearing its head.

Having sat through just one episode - a marathon hour-plus debut - I wasn't exactly spellbound. Solid acting? Check. Scenic design that outshines typical Thai BLs? Double check. This feels like a drama that had some coins to toss around. It’s free of cringe-worthy dubbing, glaring product placements, over-the-top fairness filters, and those melodramatic guitar interludes. But time travel and parallel universes? They're not my cup of Thai tea. With a slew of similar-themed dramas across Asia, "I Feel You Linger in the Air" didn’t quite stand out to me.

Now, my most 'facepalm' moment? When Jom learns of Ohm's desire to break up. Jom’s desperate pleas and his operatic tumble to the ground after being pushed by Ohm made me squirm more than swoon.

The motivation to click on episode two is currently MIA. Facing the latest from an actor I've admired yet feeling this meh? That's got to be a 'me problem' right there!

BL historique d'une délicate sensibilité…

Je l'attendais comme une enfant un matin de Noël. Et quel plaisir lorsque sa diffusion a débuté, me donnant l'impression que chaque épisode était comme mon calendrier de l'avent en avance.

Le cœur brisé, Jom (Non Chanon Santinatornkul) est victime d'un accident de voiture. Lors de son réveil, il se retrouve au bord de la rivière de Chiang Mai en 1927. Paumé, les ennuis lui collent à la peau alors qu'il tente de rassembler les pièces du puzzle. Jom est timide, prévenant et honnête. Bien qu'il simule une amnésie, il ne cherche jamais à nuire à quiconque, au contraire. Non Chanon Santinatornkul a fait un travail remarquable tout au long des épisodes pour dépeindre un personnage d'une grande douceur aux émotions à fleur de peau.

Khun Yai (Bright Rapheephong Thapsuwan) est le personnage idéal pour contraster avec Jom. Il est sauvage avec des émotions profondes et intenses. Cela vient créer un bel équilibre. Ma partie préférée à son sujet est la façon dont il est tombé amoureux. Il a été curieux, puis intrigué et avant qu'il n'ait le temps d'inspirer, il était profondément amoureux. Bright Rapheephong Thapsuwan a délivré une performance formidable aux sentiments multiples.

Leur relation est magnifique ! L'amour est là depuis leur premier regard, tourbillonnant, taquinant et faisant s'envoler une nuée de papillons. La romance est mature avec des sentiments francs et purs, alors qu'elle prend le temps de se développer. Le cheminement est doux, lent et juste. C'est sans aucun doute une des plus belles romances portées à l'écran cette année. De plus, il est agréable de ne pas tomber dans une multitude de scènes intimes pour seulement créer de l'audience.

Le reste du casting est bon. Tous les personnages sont liés, directement et indirectement. C'est un détail plaisant, tout en évitant de s'encombrer de personnages inutiles. Malgré tout, la temporalité m'a posé problème. Entre deux actions, je ne savais jamais combien de temps s'était écoulé. De plus (et à mon plus grand regret), le final laisse un goût de faciliter flotter dans l'air, malgré une scène post-générique à la fois curieuse et amusante.

En bref, sur fond d'amour maudit, I Feel You Linger in the Air nous plonge dans une Thaïlande passée grâce à son ambiance, ses décors, ses costumes, ainsi qu'un couple magnifique. Le tout avec une bande son qui fini de sublimer l'ensemble. Coup de cœur dans les années 20 !

Jom e seu harem de Yais

Muito bom o enredo em que Yai e Jom aproximam-se contra tudo e todos! Ser rico e bonito ajuda, mas a força e perseverança da bicha atrás do macho é tudo!
O cara quer todas as reencarnações do mesmo omi!
Jom é único na história toda? Não é possível que ele queira TODAS AS VIDAS DO YAI pra si!
E o Yai gosta deles em todas?
Jom é doce pra trair todos os yai possíveis, daqui a pouco ta em 1700 pegando outro Yai.
Jom e seu harém de yais...que venha Yai de bigode (horrível).

"Vocês não se amam? Tem uma obra-prima ali a espera e ninguém tá assistindo."

Eu só conheci esse BL graças às avaliações do My Drama List. Se não fosse pelo alto rankeamento, eu nunca nem teria dado chance para essa obra-prima. Não tenho palavras suficientes para elogiar a montagem, a fotografia (o plus dos efeitos especiais), os cenários, figurinos... tudo, tudinho. Uma experiência sem igual principalmente se tratando de uma história de época, então, para ser crível, o trabalho com esses detalhes precisam estar no ponto. Estou muito feliz e sensível por ter acompanhado a história do Jom e de todos os personagens secundários ótimos e interessantes. Aprendi muito sobre a Tailândia do início do século XX de um jeito único que eu espero não esquecer tão cedo. O casal sáfico me fez chorar muito e meu coração se angustiou inúmeras vezes vendo o sofrimento das mulheres naquele tempo... é uma estrelinha a mais em termos de roteiro!!!

Final espetacular para uma história magnífica, fico no aguardo da nova season :)
