OMG IT WAS REALLY GOOD FR
It was a wonderful time that I spent watching this ongoing, it was very cool and good fr. I am satisfied with almost all the emotions that I felt during the entire viewing, and the spectrum was really wide.⭐️: What about the plot? actually very interesting, good plot theme and development, this 1963, princes, country, money, fictitious marriage, falling in love with your fiancée's brother, homophobia, and many other problems are shown, and a lot of action, a little more action and also action. ( just what i can saying without spoilers).
⭐️ Filming, picture, acting everything was great. The cast amazing , the women are hot, the guys are beautiful. And the CHEMISTRY KILLING here was so much of it, the tension was so strong that the temperature was rising and I was sitting all my face red.
This project is noteworthy and worth watching. I recommend it.

Denial is a river in Egypt, your fiancé is gay!
I wouldn't call it a masterpiece or anything but it has its charm. Kinda soap operaish, but very old school romance. If you like melodramatic romantic dramas, you will like this. The leads start out as being annoyed with each other but it turns to love. Chemistry is excellent, they look good together. Their scenes are super sweet & romantic.The prince is very similar to Prince Henry from RWRB, same personal dilemma & vibes (they even look kind of similar). Acting & music is okay.
The series falls short in the technical department, mainly direction & editing. Wish it had a more solid screenplay, the father is a10/10 hater & Pin(the girl)is super vindictive & then just immediately turn around? Doesn't make sense.
All that aside, it's worth watching.

Peak at his Peak!
I am really glad they gave Peak a chance in a serious BL series. Following him since ten years ago has made me realize that he has improved a lot in his acting. It wasn't that bad in his previous films, but because he had never played this kind of role, we had never really seen his full capability.Honestly, this series would be empty without Perth. Her performance was truly believable. I usually hate the 'third wheel' role in every BL series because they are usually annoying, but we need to give her two thumbs up for helping Peak reach his full aura.

Angst in pajamas
I really enjoyed this exercise in frustration. The love story between the two males leads was touching. The homophobic attitudes were appropriate for the time period. Fortunately, there were several instances of friends and even family feeling compassion and acceptance for their same sex relationship. It was heartbreaking to see how the prince had to constantly reject who he really was because of the expectations placed on him.There were times I wanted to back slap several of the characters. The father of the prince needed a boot up his butt. I don't think he redeemed himself with his hypocritical excuse of caring about whether the prince was accepted as a homosexual. Thankfully the storyline provided redemption through some of the other characters transformative attitudes.
This production was very melodramatic and at times a little pretentious in how it approached the storyline. I honestly can't fault some of the side characters for being so inept in helping the two lovers escape their awkward and even dangerous situations. I'm not a very good sneaky person either. This was a little long, but I will definitely rewatch it at some point in the future.

Best BL of 2025?
I really loved this. It’s right up my alley lol. I’m just a sucker for star-crossed lovers that give each other longing looks while the romantic OST plays in the background.It’s a little reminiscent of To Sir, With Love. With less murder glitter.
Anyway really enjoyed it, it was giving me butterflies and the whole bit. Cried too.
Also, crazy to see Peak in BL again, he’s an OG! And he was hands down some of the best acting in this, go off King.
It got a little tiny bit long and I don’t feel the passion for it I do for my 10 stars, so I’ll give it a safe 9.5.

Thankfully I made it to the end..
The scenery, costumes, and set design were all nicely done.It dragged in the middle, the main couple didn't really have much chemistry.
Rabbit boy's wide eyed, hurt stare became aggravating.
Pin was insufferable toward the end.
She knew the facts and still questioned why ol' boy couldn't sleep with her or didn't love her.
She started off as a likeable character then was one I wanted to take a long walk off a short cliff.
Yeah, they did her wrong but she beat that dead horse until it came back to life and she could kill it again.
Her tears started to irk me. Especially when she tried to get him to consummate their marriage.
A lot of staring from rabbit eyed boy came across as painful .. like he had gas trapped or something.
I didn't believe the love between the two men, especially when they suddenly had s-e-x.
Too much over the top plotting by the dad, his brother, the other dad, the general...
As for the genera, he was just a cruddy character.
The stepmother needed her mouth rearranged with a good slap.
Even the grandmother was shoddily played.
The only character I liked was the older maid who acted as the go between, delivering notes between the leads.
I started off kind of liking it, but quickly became I was just ready for it to end.

Love in the Moonlight with a lot of tears
I’m glad the series got a high rating because it deserves it, to an extent. I only checked this out because I loved Peak’s performance in My Only 12% and was so excited to discover that he’s the lead of his own BL! Boy can act; actually, the whole cast didn’t disappoint in that domain. I’ll start with what I liked about the series, then why I wouldn’t rewatch it.Pros:
- Eye candies EVERYWHERE. The men are handsome. The women are beautiful. The gays are gays!
- Very bingeable: If I weren’t so tired from a long day of work, I would have finished the series in a day, not two. The series is easy on the eyes and easy to follow (for the most part).
- The music is AMAZING. They mostly use two songs, but they never get annoying or old. Actor Act also has one hell of a voice!
- I didn’t expect comedy gold when I walked into this series, but they were random but brilliant; they weren’t excessive, but smartly sprinkled throughout the series. They caught me off guard, and I spat out my coffee multiple times, yet I enjoyed every bit of it. Not so much the spitting and cleaning, but the funny moments were great!
- The characters and power dynamics. This series recognized that both men and women can be powerful figures in different ways, and no one character is completely useless. Many of the women in the series were respected and fair opponents to the men. Saenkaew and Songsawat’s relationship, for one, was refreshing.
- Perth Veerinsara, the actress who played Pin, did a PHENOMENAL job. Not only did the actress play her part, but the character, Pin, was also both endearing and beautiful. Pin is a mature and sweet girl who doesn’t rely on her cuteness or prettiness to have things her way. And when everyone is against her, she understands and acknowledges that she had to be the one in the wrong, because why else would everyone, who’s also smart and intelligent, not take her side? Pin had the best growth.
- Good or bad guys, I enjoyed every one of them. I’m team Prince Kamfa and Khamsu. Kamfa, Saenkraew’s father, is a badass. I applaud him for sticking to his guns and making sure things work out the way he planned despite sabotage. Kamfa might be a villain to some, but he’s always put his people first, and I respect that. Although he knew what true love looked like, he tried to change his son because he believed all homosexuals go to hell, and for that, I can’t fault him. Khamsu, too, had great qualities. He was very loyal to Kamfa and tried his best to keep the peace between the father-son duo when he could.
- Unpopular opinion, but I enjoyed Prince Inthra, Saenkaew’s uncle, a lot. The guy might be a coward, greedy, gambler, and a traitor to his family, but he was hilarious and a good husband to his wife. Hence, why her avenging him was even more satisfying.
- The villains kept me on my toes. Every time they found out something, true or not, it's always interesting to see what they do with that information.
- The chemistry all around was great. The actors and actresses really embodied their characters.
Cons:
- Timing. The storyline’s timeline was a mess, though evidently, it spans within two years. The series starts in 1963. In the beginning, we learn that the people of Chansaeng had six months before it was lost to the Republic of Nanta. However, since Nanta’s hardass General Kalong is keen on murdering Royalties, repossessing their properties, and redistributing them to the nation, princes had to band together to protect their wealth, so Saenkaew and Pin’s fathers arranged a marriage for them to later on transfer Saenkaew’s family assets safely and legally from Pin back to Saenkaew’s family. In return, the dowry will be more than what Pin’s father and stepmother owe to creditors. While spending some time in Bangkok, Saenkaew said that in the next six months, Chansaeng will be lost, so it’s unclear how long he’s been in Bangkok, although it seemed at least a month had passed. After his father finished selling their properties and items, he joined Saenkaew and the others in Bangkok and moved the marriage to an earlier date. After the wedding, when they were in Chiang Mai, we see that it’s been six months because Chansaeng had been handed over to Nanta. Shortly after six months, Saenkaew runs away with Sasin, and we’re given a one-year leap. However, it didn’t feel like one year had passed because in the letter Saenkaew wrote to Pin, he expressed being sad about the news of her father’s passing; however, her father would have already passed before the one year passed, so why bother mentioning that? Especially after witnessing her money-hungry father say she was worthless to him. At certain points, it seemed like one episode was 1-2 days, so it was very slow-burning.
- There were audio issues now and then and choppy cuts. For the music, they either start or end abruptly. It’s like no one’s ever heard of ‘fade in’ ‘fade out’...
- I want to root for Saenkaew and Sasin’s love, but I couldn’t because they were way too selfish with it. Because they’re the main characters, we and the supporting characters have to prioritize their happiness; however, I can’t root for a cousin stealing another cousin’s fiancé. Especially when Sasin was always extremely upset on Pin’s behalf regarding Saenkaew and Songsawat. Sasin went from being Pin’s protective older cousin to dismissing her feelings, needs, and existence with one switch of hearing the truth from Saenkaew. Pin expressed to Sasin over and over again that she loved Saenkaew, but the moment Saenkaew said he didn’t want to marry Pin, Sasin jumped ship and was more than ready to make sure they didn’t get married, including stealing Saenkaew from Pin.
- No one sided with Pin except the parents, who wanted something else. I thought Sanya would have her back, but he immediately backed Sasin and even said Sasin didn’t do anything wrong. Did he have a crush on Pin or Sasin? I thought at least one person would side with Pin, but no, instead, Sasin constantly threw it in her face that Saenkaew loves him and him Saenkaew. If my cousin ever came between my relationship, even if I have no feelings for my fiancé, I’d rather she not until we’ve got things situated. But alas, Pin is forced to be the bad guy, the bigger person who has to accept her cousin and fiancé. I’m even more mad that Grandma Sridara easily accepted their relationship and didn’t see that it was infidelity or adultery since Saenkaew and Pin are legally married.
- Sasin is charismatic, but his continuous misunderstanding of Saenkaew was irritating. There was no evidence of Saenkaew ‘breaking’ into his place to ‘steal’, so labelling Saenkaew a thief on multiple occasions was annoying. Sasin was a headstrong guy willing to do anything, but took a hard backseat the second he couldn’t be around Saenkaew. He and Saenkaew running away was a common theme. I don’t know why they didn’t just try to solve their problems instead of always running away from and with them.
- Saenkaew. Either. Cries. Or. Is. Teary. Eyed. In. Every. Scene.
- Why in the altercation with Pin’s dad did the trio not seize his gun??? Sasin comes in, hits the gun out of Prince Bodin’s hand, then goes straight to Saenkaew. When they disarmed him again, they didn’t think to grab the gun and decided to make a run for it. If Duangkamol didn’t stab Prince Bodin, he would have easily shot one of them. Saenkaew and Sasin prove again that they don’t care for Pin when they know her crazy dad was after them, but jumped on the train without caring about her safety.
- Who was the first guy who wrote Saenkaew a love letter?
- What happened to the uncle’s spy? The family never tried to solve that mystery.
- Except for Inthra’s wife, did anyone else care that a prince was murdered in cold blood and mysteriously disappeared? What happened to Inthra’s body? Did Bodin come back to take and hide it? Did Duangkamol wander the streets looking for her husband because she didn’t know what happened to her husband’s body?
- Uh what happened to hardcore Gen. Kalong? He started acting like a wounded puppy in front of Kamfa towards the end. I mean, Kamfa is a savage, but come on!
- Did Saenkaew and Pin ever get a divorce? Who’s running the timber business if not Saenkaew and Pin?
- I wish we saw Saenkaew be more hands-on with others, especially as a prince and businessman. He was always all about his happiness and romance that I started to wonder if he had any other thoughts or ambitions.
- The ending. Everyone who wouldn’t have accepted their relationship was killed off, and those who lived were forced to accept their relationship, but I don’t believe Saenkaew and Sasin’s love deserved a happy ending just yet. Something is missing, and it’s not lust.
All in all, I wouldn’t rewatch the whole series again, but I do recommend everyone watch it.

"A masterpiece of the Boylove genre in general — and of Thai BL series in particular."
It’s been a long time since a Thai BL series has restored my faith in Thai producers. I sincerely hope they continue to develop and create more outstanding works like this!
This is truly one of the most emotionally powerful Thai BL series ever — filled with pain, torment, and bursts of happiness, all beautifully wrapped into one story.
With the continuous tragedies that unfold, it’s hard to find a sense of ease while watching. It often brings tears to our eyes — yet, that’s exactly what makes this series such a success. Because the most important thing in filmmaking is being able to make the audience feel with the characters, to share in their emotions and pain.
I genuinely recommend everyone to watch and experience it for themselves — this series will not let you down!

Most Amazing Drama/Series
This is one of the best drama/series that I have watched recently. Everyones acting is perfect (few exceptions) . Plot is interesting and develops steadily which is plus point. I think the main couple, Sasin and Saenkaw are perfect match and their chemistry is excellent. I think this is one of the best example how BL series should be made with inclusion of all element.Everything including LOVE, Emotions, Relations, Anger, Sacrifice for Love, etc are blended perfectly.
Story Narration is exceptional with interesting punchline and dialogues. One character who did exceptionally well is Pin, so much so that I hate her character to my guts. She is main villain in this series compared to anyone including Saenkaw dad. She is worst character I have seen in recent series. Overall series is perfect and best in recent times.

An emotional, epic romance with a beautiful, happy ending!
I thoroughly enjoyed this beautiful story that is inspired and driven by the characters' strong enduring, passionate love for each other. It is a must watch for the BL watcher that enjoys a classic, epic romance drama - it is worth every single, angst-filled minute !The only negative: the lack of a sincere and honest intimacy during the NC scenes. Maybe it's just me, but some scenes needed raw, passion-filled intimate moments!

A BL Masterpiece in 2025 ✨
I honestly wonder why this series isn’t talked about much on social media. For me, it’s one of the best BLs of 2025 — I’d even call it a masterpiece. Love in the Moonlight reminds me a lot of To Sir, With Love. It’s a fast-paced, melodramatic show with multiple antagonists, centered on money and power greed, forbidden love, social expectations, and even homophobia.I genuinely love historical dramas like this. Not everyone can pull off such a top-notch plot and production in this genre. Every scene has a purpose — there’s not a single moment that feels boring. Even though the episodes are long, they never drag. Each one is intense, emotional, and engaging. It’s the kind of series where you can’t wait for the next episode and you keep wondering what will happen next.
Of course, there’s a love triangle, but don’t judge too quickly — one of them is actually forced into marriage. The story focuses more on coming out and fighting for one’s true self rather than infidelity. As for the romance between Sasin and Saenkaew, they start off not getting along, but their bond and love develop naturally and beautifully.
Saenkaew’s secret might seem obvious, but the events that follow are far from predictable. And even though there are several antagonists, you’ll understand their motives and desires, which makes it hard to actually hate them. There’s also a bit of comedy — Inthorn and his wife are hilarious villains with all their sneaking and spying around.
Peak, Pearl, and Perth all delivered outstanding performances, and the supporting cast shined as well. Everything about this show feels carefully made, and you can really tell the production value is high. Set in the 1960s, the details are impressive — from the vintage houses, cars, trains, and outfits — it truly transports you to that era.
I also adored the original soundtrack. Every time the nightclub singer performed, it felt like I was right there in the scene. Speaking of the nightclub, I love how they made it a safe space for everyone, including LGBTQ — such a thoughtful touch.
If I could rate this series 10000/10, I definitely would. Overall, Love in the Moonlight is a well-crafted Thai BL with excellent production, talented cast, and perfectly chosen soundtracks.
