The Secret of Us

My favorite GL of 2024

Okay so I started watching this series because I became obsessed with Thai GL dramas and wanted to watch all of them, despite not knowing anything about the story or the actresses. I stumbled on this drama just a few days before it released as I have seen a bunch of Tik Tok edits and thought why not watch this one too as I have preveiously stated that I am a fan of GLs.

Things I liked:
I really like the main actresses and found that they have amazing chemistry, also their acting is very impressive and both Ling and Orm are very talanted and I think both of them did justice in portraying their characters. I also liked the story and how the first episode they gave us a backstory so that I could connect with the characters and the conflict is already established in the first episode mainly because of the mother and miscommunication between the main characters which also intrigued me. I know some people would not like storylines on miscommunication an such but I actually enjoyed all the episodes despite others seeing it as repetitive as I am usually drawn to dramas where there is a little toxicity (not abuse or extreme) and where it takes a long time for the main characters to be together so I very much liked it.

Things I didn't like
Although I love this drama, it doesn't come without it's flaws. First of all, it really annoyed me how Fahlada's mom (who is evil btw) got a redemption arc by the end of the series. I mean, am I supposed to believe that someone who is homophobic from the start almost dies and then becomes a whole other person who accepts their relationship. I swear this happens in every GL drama, GAP, Pluto, Blank, and now TSOU. Please just let them be evil, no need to make them good.

Anyway, all in all this drama is my favorite of 2024 and some episodes I even rewatched 3 times so couldn't recommend it more.

perfect 10.

I don’t care what others opinion is about this series but I am going to give this a perfect 10 score. this series has got me hooked on #lingorm and never have i rewatch a series within a month after I first watch it, this shows how much I love it.

the romance, the heart wrenching moment, the tears, the emotional roller coaster ride makes me feel that I am with Fahlada and Earn in the show. I also appreciate the writers adding in scenes where they went for their honeymoon, to Earn’s dream house and not just stopped at the wedding, which I realise most of the Thai GLs series usually cuts the scene to the end. an excellent ending to this series I would say.

if you are thinking of which Thai GL series to start, watch this. I am confident you will love #lingorm after that😄

A GL Masterpiece

Okay so here's a paragraph of my thoughts and feelings about The Secret of Us the series. (100 percent honesty and no biased thoughts)

The reason why I love and have watched this series more than 10 times in the past few months (despite not being the type to watch GL series but somehow ended up watching a few of the popular ones). The Secret of Us, in my opinion is a masterpiece!
Unlike most GL Thai shows that focuses on the sexual attraction and love scenes and barely focusing on the plot and story, TSOU is heavily focused on the bond, the struggle, the obstacles and connection the main characters have and go through. If they were to not include any love scenes between Ling Ling and Orm in the series, I believe these two women would have still crushed it with their perfect and beautiful chemistry as well as performance they have in every scene, whether in a scene of them talking, arguing or just staring at one another. I have never seen such a phenomenal acting and chemistry between GL actresses after watching a lot. In my personal opinion there are many GL actresses with great acting skills and pretty visuals, however, none would make me rewatch their series as much as I have with TSOU with me kicking my feet in the air and giggling like a little girl haha. This series has a k-drama vibe to it. Directed beautifully, the story is heartbreaking but sweet, dialogues between characters are sooooo good, well written and really eye-opening. The Side characters are nice, funny and all have a reason to be. Every sad scene made me teary and every love seen made me blush so hard although love scene are not long or too much which is so nice to see (we don't always need plus 18 content to feel happy lol at least I don't need that). The color palette used to convey the mood and tone throughout the series is a beautiful choice, very natural but also warm and soft. The music, whether the main songs/Ost of the series or the background music, all suited every scene and added depth to them.
I am well aware that there are some plot holes here and there and some events left unfinished, but the series is too short (8 episodes) and it's based on a novel, so I guess they didn't really have much time to wrap everything up so they just left some small details for us to figure out which is fine since the series is well executed.

HOWEVER, I am well aware that there's an issue to many of us which is the main characters behaving in a way that might feel or be toxic when it comes to their romance, which lead to viewers disliking the series and rating it low, but I decided to ignore that because not everything we see should be taken seriously.....such dramas and productions are mostly for fun, to enjoy your free time watching a sweet show. Thinking too deeply always ruins the fun and mood, so I advice new watchers, those who discovered the series and want to give it a try to take it with a light heart. Don't overthink what you watch and just enjoy the drama.

Next review......Only You the series! :)

masterpiece

The Secret of Us is a Thai GL drama that truly left an impression on me. It’s not just a love story between two women—it’s an emotional journey that explores pain, growth, and the courage to embrace a second chance. Fahlada and Earn aren’t just exes reconnecting; they are two souls who have hurt each other yet still find themselves drawn back together.
What makes this series special is its ability to make every emotion feel raw and real. The chemistry between the leads is undeniable, and every glance, every touch, speaks volumes. There are moments of tenderness that make you smile, but also heartbreaking scenes that stay with you long after the episode ends. It’s a story that makes you reflect on how hard it is to let go of the past—and how brave it is to choose love again.
