Club Friday Hot Love Issue: Love Bully

Englot Chemistry at its Best

“Love Bully” ended up being a lot more fun than I thought it would be going in.


I didn’t know what to expect since I have not watched any Club Friday story before this. For those unfamiliar like I was, Club Friday is an anthology based on stories submitted by listeners to the radio programme by the same name. The shows consist of dramatised retellings of the stories in a few episodes each. “Love Bully” is a part of the 16th season of Club Friday, and depicts the story of two women named Night (Engfa Waraha) and Irene (Charlotte Austin).

They meet at Night’s bar the night Irene returns from the US, and hit it off instantly. They are quick to realise their feelings for another and equally quick to get together, which to be fair, makes sense given the short runtime. However, their relationship is threatened by the classic soap opera tropes of a meddling vamp character who tries to ruin their relationship as well as Irene’s career, an evil ex-boyfriend who aids her, and the rich mother who scoffs exaggeratedly and demands Night to stay away from Irene, but comes around by the end to support them.

EngLot’s chemistry is overflowing.

Basically, ‘Love Bully’ is just another chaotic Club Friday installment. However, unlike most Club Friday series, the premise of this drama doesn’t involve affairs or cheating, which deserves a good point there. The storyline is not that bad, but it’s not the best either. Certainly, it focuses on the one who cares too much would be more hurt, while the one who cares less would be more frustrated at having to put up with all the crap all the time.

It's a Club Friday drama, so the conflicts are expected to be a little overdramatized. But despite that, good directions help convey the story well. In terms of acting, Charlotte deserves praise for her performance this time. She nailed it. The only thing about this drama that I personally like is the great chemistry between Engfa and Charlotte. The EngLot tandem makes the scenes they share look natural. Given that they are one of the most famous GL pairings in Thailand and also well-known internationally, it's not surprising that this series has become the most anticipated, most talked about, and most watched compared to other Club Friday series.
