The Cursed Love

The Cursed Love: When Real Chemistry Puts the Pretenders to Shame

"The Cursed Love" is hands down one of the best BL series I've seen in a long time. From the very first episode, it completely captured my heart. The acting is phenomenal-raw, real, and emotionally charged. The chemistry between the main leads is absolutely electric; you can feel every glance, every touch, every emotion they share. Considering this is their first series together, it's incredible how natural and effortless their connection feels.

The OST is breathtakingly beautiful-every song perfectly complements the story and deepens the emotional impact of each scene. It's rare to find a soundtrack that feels like an essential part of the storytelling, but here it truly shines.

And yes, let's talk about that first NC scene. It was beautiful. Sensual, emotional, and tastefully done. You could clearly see how much they wanted each other-no awkwardness, no hesitation-just pure, genuine passion. They completely dissolved into each other, enjoying the moment to the fullest. It was intimate, meaningful, and done with artistic grace.

Now, to those constantly writing comments like "omg don't let them kiss again" or "why is this scene so weird"-🙄 please. These actors delivered performances that many long-time screen partners can't even come close to. Their kisses? Perfect-intense, emotional, and full of life. None of those stiff, lifeless "dead fish" kisses we've seen elsewhere. Maybe some others should take notes on what real on-screen chemistry looks like.

Popularity and millions of followers don't always equal quality. Sometimes the truly talented ones don't get the spotlight they deserve because the industry keeps feeding viewers the same overused, predictable stories. "The Cursed Love" dares to be different-strong acting, genuine chemistry, and a plot that's fresh and engaging.

I'm enjoying every single episode, every single moment. This series is pure quality and deserves every bit of praise it's getting-and then some.

it was very different from the other bl's. i decided to watch it when i saw the actor who played khunkao promoting the series on the streets of thailand, telling people to watch it. as i said, the series was very different. i got a little lost in the historical narratives, and frankly, the sets and acting in the timelines were bad. but the acting in general is very impressive. i honestly didn't expect such an ending. i especially didn't know how to react to the plot twist in the very last scene. my favorite character in the series was pun. his relationship with kor was amazing, and it was the thing that affected me the most. kor's death was very tragic. although many people died in the series, the fact that no one, including their lovers, cried was very unrealistic. honestly, i don't know if i liked it or not. the acting and the chemistry between the main couple were very good. it felt like it could have been a great series, but the scriptwriting prevented it.

p.s.: there are significant omissions in the cast, particularly regarding the actors who had an impact under the series title. this looks a bit bad in terms of credit. even the most minor characters were very well-acted. i don't know the actors; it would be great if someone who knows them could add their names.

So much potential

The entire premise of the plot was really interesting. I liked the whole supernatural element of it and it had so much potential but it felt rushed and not fully fleshed out. At points it felt like there was something that had been left out to explain why or how things happened. Other things felt like they just came out of nowhere. It was usually smaller things that can be ignored but it kind of took me out of the story in the moment.

The ending is the one true negative you can´t really ignore or overlook. It was just weird, it was the most rushed part of the plot and left alot of things unanswered and unexplained. (The return? like what)

Acting wise it felt a bit awkward at a few moments but was otherwise good so I don´t know wheter that was the acting or the script.

I do still like the show though. Yes it has its downs but it was still an enjoyable experience and I wanted to watch the next episode every week. The vibes of the show were imaculate. The world itself and the places where the story took place where really nice and truly suited the plot. It did really well with helping the mystical, supernatural elements this story has.

So if you can over look a rushed plot and some plotholes than I think you will enjoy the show.

Brilliant Start, Rushed and Disappointing Ending

When the series first started I was really excited, there was a lot of potential and the story concept itself was exciting. The acting isn't awful but I think with a little more workshop time put in and a stronger script the acting could have been better.

About halfway through it started to be less entertaining, maybe its because it was only 8 episodes long that I didn't feel there was enough emotion being felt through the acting, it started to feel more rushed and there wasn't enough push and pull from the love triangle-type thing they were pushing for.

The ending had me unbelievably disappointed, character deaths that left me feeling literally nothing. The characters seemed to just brush past it for being so in love/loving towards those that died? I think it could have been really meaningful to see a breakdown or two to really solidify the acting from the characters left. There was way too much that was left unsaid/unexplained/unseasoned for my taste. Peem showing up threw me for the biggest loop, and how Thara and Khun acted left me bewildered, there was no shock or emotion just an immediate 'you get the job' simply because he looked like Siwat, I assume the idea is Siwat reincarnated again? Somehow?

Overall, I thought it was okay, I just expected so much more from such a cool concept.
I do, however, hope to see the main three in other series in the future, I know this was Ongsa's first series and with a little more experience he could bring more personality to the characters he plays.

some acting need to be practiced

i was just a random watch while it was on going actually everything was good until last episode that should’ve been different like man not even a happy ending or kinda…

i just didn’t like the end… a new dude who just look like siwat named peem but siwat died so it would never be the same anyways… his lover should’ve cried a bit more or at least runned to siwat when he was about to disappear it would’ve made the series 2x better.

they need to practice their emotions more.

actually siwat was the best one at acting in here in my opinion 😅

the place they did this series is very good overall their acting is good but emotions needs to be practiced

holy potential

First of all the story had potential. it could have actually been interesting and at the beginning i was quite invested. but the execution... i kept expecting the fights against the bad guys to actually lead somewhere but then everyone just went home and called it a day? their romance started off well and i actually liked it at first but there wasnt much progression after the third or so episode. and then he just dies at the end but kind of comes back. i also felt bad for the water bender bc why is his fate to kind of suffer all the time.
all over id say its entertaining bc it kind of has a hint of plot progression sprinkled with bad editing and an illusion of a love triangle.

Cursed to be an emotionless product placement soap opera

This is a soap, but it's a supernatural soap with reincarnation, super powered gay characters, and multiple types of angst that were all good foundations that should have made this drama better than it was, but the execution was so bland and such a waste of the interesting concepts. This started off decent enough, setting up the attraction between Siwat and Thara and Khunkao being drawn to Siwat. I liked that Thara and Khunkao are actually friendly with each other as team members and in the business of saving people in the current life even before they remember their past life. Somehow as the episodes went on, the show forgot to keep developing the relationships between the three of them with them being the core of the story and it just dragged on and on until the very sudden end. Their trek to find the mythical place as so anticlimactic, it felt like there's still a bigger story in a few episodes when it's the grand finale. The ending with Siwat turning to dust should be extremely emotional, but it feels like just another Wednesday. Where are the emotions? These are two guys that have been obsessed with Siwat/Suraya for mulitple lifetimes and that's all the emotions they can muster? The whole story side of the show feels like placeholders for the actual meat of it, which is product placement. They mostly make the random side characters do the selling, but it's horrible on the nose and boring every single time. There really isn't more emotional reaction to a whole man that appears out of nowhere named Peem that looks exactly like Siwat either?
