K-Drama 
UNNECESSARILY LONG
It started on a good note, i was genuinely enjoying it but the eps are so long and filled with stuff that is incredibly IRRELEVANT. Like 1 hours 15 min is the runtime and it is so draggy. They dont show what i actually wanna see which is Singto, like show us that cute kid.Overall, its a good drama nothing extraordinary

Amazing Storyline, Held My Interest from Start to Finish
I don’t know what else Thailand has for us this year but THIS ONE?!!! It is AMAZINGGGG.OMG, reminded me of how much I miss watching great Thai BL shows like this one.
First of all, I love the boys sooooo much. The ML and MC just always have good chemistry together so we have that to thank for this show too.
I don’t want to say much to avoid spoiler but this is so so so so good. Acting is good, chemistry is solid, and plot is also great.
In summary?
PLEASE WATCH IT!
EDIT - Just finished watching and I love it as much as I did when I started. To say I’m obsessed with this series would be an understatement. I AM OBSESSED WITH IT. It’s been amazing so far honestly. I have only positive things to say, the plot stayed interesting and consistent as the story unfolded and it held my attention from start to finish.
Can’t believe the show is finally over. HOW DO I MOVE ON???!!

Love Of Boredom
Perhaps If they had added just some element of creativity to this drama, it might have been at least for me a better or even notable series. But instead, it just is yet another in a long line of troupe-filled, cliché driven stories that offered nothing different. To be sure, there were moments that were good and even enticing, but overall, this story is so predictable. And honestly, the protagonists were as interesting as watching paint dry. Truthfully, watching paint dry would have been more interesting because one never knows if a paint bubble will form and you will have to smooth it out. That would at least grab your attention. These two were the least dynamic individuals in this series in all honestly. I am NOT talking about any bad acting. That is not the case. Both these actors are just so one-dimensional, but they were played that way, which made them boring and thus projected uninteresting characters. That is too unfortunate as both individuals had unique qualities and could have been more idealized with more impressing personalities from the very beginning; but did not.Was this review helpful to you?
it's totally worth it to watch
this series is fabulous, good acting. I really enjoyed it. it have good romantic scenes. "Slow burn, deep emotions, and unforgettable chemistry."From the very first episode, this series kept me emotionally invested. The romance was sweet, mature, and beautifully developed, while the chemistry between the leads felt incredibly natural. The emotional scenes were powerful without being overdone, and every character added something special to the story. I really enjoyed this series feel connection .Was this review helpful to you?
A promising start that kept me invested
I really enjoyed the atmosphere of this drama and how it blended romance with the emotional baggage both characters carried. What kept me watching the most was the chemistry between the leads, which felt completely natural and made every interaction easy to believe. I liked that the story wasn’t just about romance, but also about healing, trust, and finding someone who accepts you despite everything you’ve been through. And I have to mention the baby, who completely stole so many scenes. Every moment with the baby added so much warmth and sweetness to the story, making some of the emotional scenes even more touching. There were a few storylines that could have been explored more deeply, and some conflicts felt resolved a little too quickly, but overall I stayed invested from beginning to end. It may not reinvent the genre, but it delivers a heartfelt romance, lovable characters, and enough emotional moments to make it a really enjoyable watch.Was this review helpful to you?

I Started This Blind and Was Left Amazed. Literally a Perfect Series
Honestly, it’s rare for me to like every single character in a BL series, but Love of Silom takes the cake. I genuinely enjoyed every character, even the villains and those who only appeared briefly, like Pete. Every character felt like they had a purpose.The acting flowed so naturally. Up and Poom have incredible chemistry, and it showed in every scene where they were together. Their intimate scenes felt romantic, and was beautifully done rather than awkward or forced. The dance performances at the bar were also entertaining and added so much personality to the series.
The music deserves its own praise. There were so many songs throughout the series that I fell in love with, and every track matched the mood of each scene perfectly. Especially those small moments of Wayu sharing his playlist so that Krit to explore new music, I thought that small detail in series was just so sweet.
One of my favorite aspects was the friendships. Even the guys at the bar who started off as jerks eventually became supportive friends, and I absolutely loved Foei, the bar owner. Throughout everything that happened, Tai and Rose remained Wayu and Krit biggest supporters, which made them even more lovable. Honestly, I enjoyed every actor and every supporting character in this series.
The story was paced extremely well. It opened strong with the investigation, and each episode introduced new twists, new characters, and more pieces of the mystery without ever feeling overwhelming. At the same time, we watched the relationship between Wayu and Kirt develop naturally. Episodes 7 and 8 were my favorites because, despite the investigation remaining the central plot, they gave us beautiful moments that simply focused on the couple loving and supporting each other while also showing the struggles they both faced with their own families.
Speaking of family, the scriptwriter did an amazing job with the character development. Wayu character was so well written and his story had so much depth to it. Watching Wayu’s mother change and seeing Kirt’s father slowly grow to accept his son happiness made the story incredibly satisfying. Singto’s character was genuinely the sweetest and brought so much warmth and heart to the story.
The action scenes were exciting and kept me engaged throughout. I liked that we got to see Kirt in action against criminals while also dealing with the pressures of his job and the conflict with his father. It balanced the romance, mystery, and action really well.
The ending had me smiling from ear to ear. After everything the characters endured, it was so rewarding to see Kirt finally stand up to his father. Seeing Kirt and Wayu get married was the perfect conclusion. Kirt’s parents got the grandchild they had always wanted, Wayu’s mother stopped gambling, his sister returned to be part of her son’s life, Wayu went back to school and graduated, and he and Kirt built a home together. Seeing both families finally find happiness made the ending feel complete and well earned.
Overall, Love of Silom was an amazing series. I watched the entire series in a day and was willingly to sacrifice my sleep because I simply couldn’t stop watching. Every episode ended in a way that made me immediately want to start the next. It’s one of those dramas where the mystery, romance, action, family relationships, friendships, music, and character development all come together perfectly. I’d highly recommend this!

This was one of those series I genuinely looked forward to every single week. 🤍
It took me on an emotional rollercoaster, and I loved every minute of it. The story kept surprising me, making me laugh one moment and breaking my heart the next.
Another reason I enjoyed it so much is that it explores a theme you don't often see in BL. That made it feel fresh, unique, and memorable.
Definitely one of my favorite series this year. ✨

A perfect 10. Nothing less than that!!! It's amazing
I absolutely loved this series. Probably more than "My Stand In" (you can judge me for this) that's cz i am not a huge fan of red flags and stressful dramas. Out of all the dramas airing now. This is my favorite and it stayed my favorite. I think i am gonna be back for KritWayu again🤭🤭.I laughed, i cried and celebrated with the characters. Although the drama did seem like it'd be sultry but for me it came out more artsy. Yeah Wayu looked amazing during his host era but all i saw was poom's hard work. You could see the effort he put in during every choreography. I loved the balance the series maintained towards the romance, case and personal problems. That is something that is hard to maintain and I've seen many dramas fail to do it.
I also have to say. They did a great job casting our munchkin singto🥺🥺🥺 baby stole my heart everytime he appeared onscreen.
This is one of the shows where i loved every character including some of the kinda negative characters like sky❤️❤️ i literary cried for him. Except the Dad i think i loved all the characters. Loved the whole host gang like that's the definition of friendship. Foei was such a parent figure for everyone including krit.
Idk what to say. It's just that good. Totally rewatchable, right about of romance, stress, tears and anger. Just perfect.

It is almost perfect but....
I actually loved the plot and concept of this whole series. All of the actors gives oscar-worthy performance, you won't see them lacking and that makes it all realistic. The bar hosts dancing at the stage looked like they were dancing and doing this job for ages. The details of the bar and the posters whenever they have an event (loved the Towel Party poster the most). The police captain really do looked like he is a police with brain and wits, though the start of the series doesn't focused too much on that and only seen the action at the much later episodes.The climax really had me pulling an Asian squat in the middle of our living room due to its intensity and the action moves are really awesome. Everything is almost perfect... except for a detail that would make a lot of sense if only it was clearly conveyed to the audience. Who shot Ice on the forehead? It can't be Krit and Wayu who were facing their backs and it can't be the police team who were literally behind Ice. Did he die? It was a perfect shot on his forehead that would have him dead on the spot but was later on reported that he was arrested. What happened to Por? What is he really doing with Ice and Chain? Why is Krit's father friends with him without knowing his dirty business all along?
It kinda feels like the aftermath after the climax was a bit rushed to give way to the conflict between Krit's father and Wayu. But still, I am giving it a high rating as everything is almost perfect. The natural chemistry of UpPoom, the background songs, the tiny details in every settings, the performance of every actors, the cinematography and buildup of the story, most especially Singto. Our cutest little one who brings joy everytime he shows up on the screen.
This series is a must watch in your Thai BL watch list. 🩷

Interesting story
This was a good drama, i really enjoyed watching it. The story is interesting. And yes it has some flaws, but they are minor. The fighting scenes were done very well.The visuals are great and the music is good!
All the actors did a great job, the ones that stood out for me were Foei and Tai.
And off course the mains, i love how effortless their chemistry is. Their kisses are good and so was the NC Scene. They even added a bit of humor into that scene, i loved that!
I really recommend watching this drama.

Insane ?
I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to move on from this series! 😭❤️ Up Poompat as Krit and Poom Phuripan as Wayu completely stole my heart. The chemistry between these two??? INSANE! 🔥🥹 Every look, every touch, every emotional moment had me screaming at my screen!I have watched Love of Silom more than once, and somehow I STILL keep going back to rewatch it like I’m experiencing it for the first time. 😂😭 There’s just something about Krit and Wayu that I cannot let go of. Their chemistry, the tension, the romance, the emotions… EVERYTHING has me completely obsessed!
This is one of those BLs where I finish watching and immediately start missing the characters, so naturally… I go back and rewatch it again! 😂❤️
10/10 from me! No hesitation, no regrets! Krit and Wayu own a permanent space in my BL-loving heart. ❤️🔥😭

A different kind of love
Excited to get to watch the premiere with my travel buddy, hundreds of fans and the actors in theater. It was my first time being this involved. Totally enjoyable.The story took a turn and it wasn't fixed with glue and a fast turnover.
Waya stood his ground and thought about himself first.
Captain needs to grow some balls.
