Love Sea

Depressing trend of Thai BL

I don't know if this is the right audience for this, but I feel like there's something colonial about the use of Thai BL to pretty much be almost porn. I wonder at how much agency/options the actors have. I wonder at how much agency/options the producers have. It's just that once Thai BL really started hitting the international markets, it became all about the explicit sex scenes at the expense of the plot and self-respect. I know Thailand can produce incredible BL and incredible television. Some of the best BL of all time come from Thailand, so I don't know why it's taken this trend. Maybe it's because of Thailand's history with sex tourism,that my mind is thinking about this, but sex sells, and exploitation of formerly colonized countries to satisfy the desires of western countries is a time-honored tradition. Please someone tell me I'm crazy. Please someone find me one Thai BL that doesn't have an explicit sex scene in it during the last year. I think I also just need a good cry.

Anyways, the show hypothetically has a plot, and I think the plot could be good if the actors could get it across, but I feel like the actors have to create these 2D characters, one that's prissy and annoying, and one's that so full of himself you want to punch him in the face... and annoying. There's no build-up, they don't establish chemistry (which we know the actors can thanks to love in the air), and then they just get down to it (cough), and my secondhand embarrassment just kills me. But the island is beautiful. I hope this spurs not-sex tourism.

Started out rough but ended great

As much as I love Fort and Peat, this was not that great until about episode 7. The scenes on the island and diving were good but the script just didn’t start out that great.

I’m wondering if they will ever give Peat a role where he isn’t always mad and pouting. Let this guy show more sides of his acting skills! Fort was more of the same as well. He was cute, flirtatious, and tried hard to win Peat over despite being treated like crap.

BUT, when it comes to the steamy scenes, these two guys have the most amazing chemistry I have ever seen.

Tongrak’s assistant, Mook, was so hard to watch. She whined and cried about everything. Situations were ridiculous. She overreacted to the smallest things (like unzipping the dress). I really wanted to fast forward every time she was on screen.

Loved the family drama and how it was all resolved. Finally understood why Tongrak was the way he was. Loved little Meena. Next time, these guys deserve a great script that they can knock out of the park!

Rating 8.5/10

So I adore all of mames shows other than TharnType. Although I dont necessarily like mame due to her thing with always writing sa/r/m into her characters. I was really looking forward to this series and I had very high expectations for this show but I wouldn’t say they were met. FortPeat have amazing chemistry and did amazing in this series so my thoughts have nothing to do with them. I did not find myself impatiently waiting for each episode to come out like I do for most series, I found the last episode a bit boring to say the least. I don’t think this series was terrible but I don’t think it’s the most amazing series ever I feel like this series had a lot of potential, the visuals were beautiful and I loved all the characters. If I’m going characters for characters, I’d say I like Tongrak and Mahasamut more then Sky & Prapai but I think Love in the Air is the better series. I probably won’t rewatch this series anytime soon but I think it’s worth watching if someone was to come across it one day.

Fort was fine in this one

I liked this series a lot. People might say they just had nc scenes but I disagree, yeah they had an amount of those scenes but they had a story too. It wasn’t like lita where they literally fck every 10 minutes lol. The story was good and not boring, acting was top, and the GL couple was sooo cute . I can’t really remember the music and I would not really rewatch because it’s too much, I don’t really tend to rewatch Thai series because they take a lot of time, I prefer rewatching Korean or Japanese bls because they’re usually much shorter.
Overall I liked it so 8/10

Amazing BL!

I absolutely loved this series I was already following Fort and Pete's work because I loved thier roles in LITA so I immediately jumped on watching it once i found out they were the main characters.
I just jumped in I actually didn't watch the trailer or anything but it was better than I ever could have expected. The story was pretty solid and I really like how Mut didn't fall into the classic the parents tell us to break up so we have to troupe. I also loved the chemistry between the two which made watching thoes steamy parts all the better because they weren't awkward at all with each other.
And all though Raks hesitance at the end with finally admiting that he had feelings for Mut made me quite mad since they drew it out till almost the end of the ep I would say it was saved with the way they handled it in the end.
The only thing that kinda upsets me is that they just let Vis and Mooks storyline drop like they weren't talking and then suddenly they were again. Also none of the issues between those two were solved at all. I'm hoping they'll make a side story for them but who knows.
Overall I absolutely loved this drama and would 100 percent watch it again.

Piping hot stuff and pure FortPeat magic!

Dont let the comments on MDL mislead you. This drama is damn fucking amazing, FortPeat really spilled their magic again! The chemistry is wildfire and the best that i've ever seen. Theres a lot of romance, cute scenes, hot shit(holy smokes they really brought the beach down) and both the characters are honestly sweet af. Theres a lot of angst at the end but it has happy ending. They've really come a long way with their acting since LITA cause the emotional scenes were INTENSE.

Watch it if you're here for genuine chemistry cause these two are on a whole new league when it comes to fiery romance. No cringe, no cutesy shit, just one man in pure deep love and one who doesnt know his feelings are love yet (but falls harder for his man)

dont miss the underwater scenes, cause they really sent FortPeat down into the ocean and asked them to do their magic! i was honestly shocked.

Also the OSTS are so nice! the lyrics are meaningful and go with the characters! Dont miss that too cause Fort and Peat and the girls OST was sung so well, im amazing at how theyve just leveled up since LITA

Dont miss this drama, give it a chance. It has all the elements of a great BL, its hot, cute, sweet, emotional, and funny! I cannot wait for the special episode cause we'll get to see a love struck Tongrak ahhh!!

my first impression

I started watching this for their chemistryy cuz they have insane chemistry but everything they do is so natural especially forts acting is so natural like he suits mahasamuts character i cant imagine anyone else doing that character he's just so perfectt peats doing greatt too I'm very happy with how its going I'm slightly disappointed there isn't anything surprising cuz there's a lot in the trailer so it makes u feel like u already know whats going to happen when ur watching but its just the first episode so its impossible to judge and its not the type of series that requires u to use ur brain and be invested in it its very cute, fun and easy going especially bcoz there's a lot bl dramas with intense storyline and action scenes these days so this is smtg to bring u some positive energy to. Eveyone thinking to watch this i would suggest u do and even if u don't like the plot or smtg their chemistry will just pull u in to watch.

Visual 10/10, química 11/10 e profundidade 3/10

Love Sea apareceu pra mim num dia em que eu só queria assistir alguma coisa bonita, com cara de verão, pra dar uma desligada. E, visualmente, ele cumpre a missão: céu azul, mar limpinho, foto suave, um monte de cena gostosa para ver no fim de um dia desgastante. Tongrak e Mahasamut seguram o romance com uma química do tipo que não precisa de muito esforço, eles trocam um olhar, fazem um afago distraído, e eu já tô ali curtindo. É fácil se agarrar a eles.

Mas quanto mais os episódios passam, mais fica claro que o roteiro tá apaixonado só pelo Rak. Tudo gira em torno do bloqueio criativo dele, das inseguranças dele… e o Mut? Quase nada. O cara larga a própria vida inteira por amor, a série até tenta consertar no final dizendo que não foi bem assim, mas o estrago já tava feito: praticamente nenhum espaço pra mostrar quem ele era antes, o que perdeu, o que quer daqui pra frente. Fica faltando conhecer o Mut de verdade, não só o namorado bonitinho.

Também não dá pra fingir que o fandom tóxico não atrapalhou. Eu tava lá, felizinha vendo o casal secundário, Vie e Mook, torcendo pra que elas tivessem momentos próprios… e cadê? Foram sumindo. E, pior, fui ver comentários e esse foi meu erro, a Mook virou alvo de hate gratuito, gente reclamando dela existir e ocupar tempo de tela. A personagem existe, tem sentimentos, tem espaço, e só isso já foi o suficiente pra parte do fandom decidir que ela era “inútil” ou “irritante”. E, sinceramente, é sempre a mesma história: basta uma mulher existir em um BL que já vira saco de pancada automático. Sério, custava dar um arco decente pras meninas? Elas mereciam o mesmo cuidado que o drama deu pros meninos, mas parece que o roteiro esqueceu.

Apesar dessas frustrações, confesso: terminei presa ao romance principal. Ver Rak e Mut se entendendo, mesmo com todos os tropeços e a correção meio em cima da hora sobre “não largue toda a sua vida por macho”, me deu aquele quentinho no coração. No fim, Love Sea é exatamente isso pra mim: não inventa moda, não aprofunda tudo que podia, mas tem momentos de carinho que fizeram meu dia melhor. Só queria que o Mut tivesse tido a mesma atenção que o Rak, e que a Vie e a Mook não tivessem sido tratadas como figurante de luxo.
