Affair

HATE it first, LIKE it later

Well, this series in kinda different from other series like Blank, GAP, TSOU, etc.
If we know GL series always have a sugar daddy from the begin to the end, this series is totally talking about how to be rich for the one that you love.

Honest to say, I hate 3 first episode when they talk about Pleng and Wan young life. Pleng is a rich kid, while Wan is just a maid kid who is luckily, can attend the same school as Pleng.
But, everything change when Pleng parent die and Pleng decided to leave Wan.

13 years passed and Wan finally find Pleng. The love is still stong, even they have a different status.
Wan work hard to become rich, so she can save and protect Pleng.
Otherside, Pleng is keep feel useless and guilty, and what I hate most is Pleng also the one who easily to hurt Wan.
No matter how hard Wan fight for her.

I like the soundtrack when they sing it together. This series make me think at the first place like, ahh, Pleng is a straight woman ? Really ??
Watch this make me realize that one side love is exist until today.
We love much, we hurt much, and it is soo soo damn tired.

After watching this, I am wonder.
If we act like Wan, if we are really tired and choose to be gone.
Will we find someone like Pleng who will looking us ?
It think.... we will really gone LOL

Flawed but addictive. OST is a masterpiece.

Not going to pretend the series is perfect, but for some reason it has a hold on me and it's not letting me go anytime soon.

Let's start with the things to critique
- The story felt a bit rushed, mostly in the final episodes, creating some confusion in certain scenes. Adding 1–2 more episodes could have made everything even better.
- It focused almost entirely on Wan’s pain and perspective, which often left the viewer frustrated with Pleng. After multiple rewatches, I’m convinced that giving more focus to Pleng’s experience [especially her practically homeless, orphan, and school drop-out years] would have enhanced viewers’ understanding of her and her actions. The series gives more opportunities to understand Ek than it does Pleng.
- Support cast is solid, except for Ek, which - i'm sorry but - is absolutely terrible.
- While I understand where it comes from, I don't love the - controversial? - scene on regards to consent.

Now just SOME of the good things:
- The lead actresses are FANTASTIC, no wonder they won judge based awards for it.
- Not always easy to find in Thai gl, there's no cringe at all for their acting, just mature and raw emotion. (Excluding Ek)
- Surprisingly good balance between classic couple paring/ship focus and actual plot.
- Even if a bit rushed, the pacing they set - specially for the first 3 quarters - worked well. They managed to pack A LOT there, without it feeling too much.
- Production quality was surprisingly good, better than expected.
- Every rewatch I keep finding new details that make me want to stand up and clap.
- I don't usually focus much on chemistry or steamy scenes, but for this series, hats off. It truly had me shooketh.
- OST and music timing, amazing.
- Enjoyed the sound mixing.

Highlight: THE OST IS A MASTERPIECE. Sonya really has talent and potential to pursue music and singing. Hopefully we get to hear more in future projects.
No offense to LM, I do wish we had a Pleng/Sonya solo version of the OST.

twists, chemistry, and too many men

i started watching affair the series just because i kept seeing it everywhere, and honestly it did not disappoint. the storyline was super engaging with plenty of plot twists, but the pacing felt a bit off. some moments that should’ve hit harder got brushed over, while scenes with no real impact dragged on too long.

the lead actresses were amazing and their chemistry carried the show. i liked their adult characters way more than their high school versions (probably a good rep of dumb teenagers maturing), though pleng’s adult version still felt a little short on growth. as for the side characters… too many men lol.

the visuals were really pretty and the cinematography was well done, which made it even more enjoyable to watch.

overall, despite the pacing issues, it was a really solid drama. i’d recommend it if you want a gl with strong leads, pretty visuals, and drama that keeps you hooked. 8/10.

One of the best GL series

I guess I won't be the only one if I say it's one of the best GL series we have at the moment.
Starting from plot; I'm big sucker for Friends to lovers so no wonder I was sold from first minute. The side plot including Wanwiwa's trauma and what happened with Pleng's father was also great and actors did amazing job.
LMSY chemistry is INSANE, and I'm hoping they get another series soon because both Sonya and Lookmhee did spectacular job. Other actors also was amazing and tbh it's hard to find an actor who was bad imo.
On the other hand I find that "sisters" plot unnecessary and disgusting. Idk but I feel like author of novel have some weird fantasizes about "forbidden" topics. Also I'm kinda sick of homophobic mother/grandmother characaters in every GL. Like, been there done that, NEXT.

Overall; I adore this series and LMSY. Can't wait for their next project.

A mess but in the best of ways

I was reluctant at first to even watch this series as I have never been much of a fan of Dramas but was pleasantly surprised with this show. The story can get pretty messy sometimes but even then I couldn’t look away for a second, it’s a constant roller coaster of emotions. The best part of the show for me was definitely Wan and Pleng’s chemistry, it was off the charts.

Though, Pleng can sometimes be quite a confusing and frustrating character, you like her regardless. Her constant inner turmoil is what makes her a very interesting character. Wang on the other hand, I absolutely loved, her possessiveness and cold demeanor as well as brilliant acting on the actress’ behalf made all the time she spent on screen, exhilarating. Great show, definetely rewatching.

One Of The Greatest Series

I don't know how some people find flow in it. I think they haven't watched it properly. The character of Pleng was not toxic or bad at all. She was like the rest of the 80% of the majority. Who doesn’t follow their heart, no matter how much that will hurt them? On the other hand, Wan belongs to the 20% of the population, who can do anything, face anything to get what she wants. Wan has done PHD on Pleng. She knew her so well. Wan can even sense what step she could've taken in the next moment. That's why she never got angry with her. NEVER. Because she knew her extremely well. Pleng loved her a lot, but if you could see, how hard life became after the tragedy. You would realize that leaving that house was the best decision. Leaving home is not a joke at the age of 17. That's the reason Wan respected her a lot. I don't wanna spoil it. Only one thing. You will literally forget about genders. Love is love. The two of them played their role as best as possible. And one of the greatest onscreen chemistry they have.

⚠️ GL Grading Disclaimer
Before we dive in, a quick note on how I grade GL series: My primary focus is on the love story, chemistry, and plot. I grade on a curve, meaning my ratings are “for a GL,” recognizing the specific landscape and production context of girls’ love media.

If I ever rate something a 10, it’s because it absolutely delivers in one (or more) of these areas: undeniable chemistry between leads, high enjoyability, or a unique and/or excellently executed storyline that stands out in the genre.
_____________________________________________

Plot
The story in Affair was solid and kept my attention from start to finish. It definitely leaned into melodrama at times—sometimes a bit too hard—but never so much that it pulled me out of the experience. The emotional stakes felt real, and the plot was tight enough to carry the weight of all that angst and longing.

Chemistry
Wan and Pleng? Off. The. Charts. Easily the steamiest GL pairing I’ve seen so far. Their physical and emotional tension felt electric—charged from their very first scene to the last. This show doesn’t play coy about the passion, and honestly, it’s all the better for it. If you're here for heat, Affair delivers.

Characters / Acting
Wan is an absolute standout. She knew what she wanted and never once wavered—not even as a kid. Her confidence and quiet intensity made her a magnetic presence on screen. Pleng, while not quite as dynamic, had a believable arc. Her hesitation and decisions felt true to who she was, even if she faded a bit next to Wan.

Now for the villains: Wan’s mother was the worst—but in a good way. She was a terrible human, and credit to the actress, she sold it.

On the flip side, Ek was just rough to watch. The performance didn’t land, and giving him that many crying scenes was a real misstep. Those emotional moments felt overcooked and forced—honestly, they became a bit of a drag.

The acting overall was strong, especially from the leads. That said, there was a lot of crying. Like, a lot a lot. These women can definitely cry, and while it worked most of the time, some of it started to feel excessive by the end.

Production & Pacing
Solid across the board. The show looked good, was well-paced, and maintained its emotional momentum without feeling sluggish. The tone stayed consistent, and the melodrama—was thick—and veered into soap opera territory. Although I will say, that the hospital felt pretty quiet, never seen an emergency room on television so empty, which in turn made the show feel a bit small.

Final Thoughts
Affair brings fire, heartbreak, and unforgettable chemistry. It's dramatic as hell, yes—but that’s the point. The story is tight, the production holds up, and the romance is hot af. It’s not subtle, but it doesn’t need to be.

Chemistry rating: Hot AF
(Scale: Hot AF, Steamy, Warm and Cute — This one’s sizzling from start to finish.)

Highly recommend if you want a GL that doesn’t hold back. Just be ready for tears. Lots and lots of them.
