Love Design (Uncut Ver.) (2025)

Incredible production, fantastic acting, impeccable comedy and fluid development

I can't begin this review without praising the production. I can easily say it's one of the best edits of GL I've ever seen (perhaps the best). You can tell they paid attention to even the smallest details; the editors, directors, and the production team as a whole were dedicated to doing a good job. There was no slacking off. Another thing I liked was the cartoonish anime/manga elements that brought a unique charm to the series. Usually, when these types of elements are introduced into the edit, they make the series feel weird, but not here. The edit made the series fantastic.

Furthermore, the performances and the chemistry between the actresses (not only in the romantic part, but even in the comedy) are very good! The story has a good team, it doesn't rush to convince you of any relationship, the story unfolds so naturally and dynamically that by the time you see it, the episode is over. Honestly, I started watching swearing I wouldn't like it because I don't really like build-up series, so CONGRATULATIONS, it's incredible!

Architecture nerds love

Rin stretches her pretty privilege and she is ethereally pretty, to the limit being a grade A jerk to everyone and especially to Aokbab who hasn't done anything wrong to merit the hostility from Rin from their first meeting when Rin came upon Aokbab who was at most guilty of talking an bakery employee's ear off about the dangers of the crumbling building. Rin is pure spikes until she spots Aokbab's drawings and realizes that Aokbab is the artist whose pictures made Rin fall in love with the person who drew them without ever having met until now. Aokbab is is not so soft herself and wouldn't have had to deal with Rin except her two older brothers are terrible at running their family business and she has save the business and the customer is a fan of Rin's design. Rin agrees to work with Aokbab, but has demands and conditions, which are actually all pretty sensible. She's entirely right it's a red flag to be "family", which is just code for a company demanding more than what you are contractually agreed to. Rin rightly sets down the rule that she's clocking out on time and will not do work things after work. The one delicious meal a week is a good morale boost. Once Rin starts dating her boss though, of course she does end up being family and doing more than she agreed to contractually.

I like the how Aokbab and Rin's relationship built on them spending time working together and getting to know each other and in particular with Rin helping Aokbab getting over the scars from her previous relationship with Mind. It was already weird that Mind was a university student tutor dating her high school tutee, hopefully their age difference wasn't more than a few years, but she also submitted her high school aged girlfriend's design as her own and didn't even explain to Aokbab, leading to Aokbab getting flagged for plagiarism for her dream university. Mind continues to have to gall to want to keep dating Aokbab 10 years later, saying they never broke up. That is so entitled and delusional. The flashbacks of their relationship shows them as so happy that it makes the betrayal all the more painful. When Mind finally explains herself all these years later, Aokbab tells her that if she had just explained back then, maybe Aokbab would have even agreed to giving the design to Mind, but Mind just fumbled everything, both Aokbab and her belief in her own potential. At least she finally tells the truth when the plagerism issue affects Aokbab's business once again.

The second couple of Tertis and Vee are cute too, it's nice they no longer have to work at competing companies and can work together at Jinta at the end. Aokbab's brother Chan is the only one who seems to meet a love interest outside of work as her other brother Pat seems smitten with a client. I am curious about Chan and his fellow seaside coffee enthusiast love interest Blue, it might be cute. Maybe there will be more of them in the surprise special episode coming out a month after the finale. I was wondering why there is no wedding and of course that will be the topic of the special.

Strong Chemistry and Well-Paced Storytelling

This was goofy and chaotic, but in a way that felt intentional and enjoyable. What really stood out was how well the series captured the actors’ raw emotions—each scene felt emotionally fitting, which made the overall experience more beautiful to watch.

I was also glad that the couples had strong chemistry, which made their interactions feel natural rather than forced. Another thing I appreciated was the pacing. Instead of rushing through the story, it actually took its time, allowing moments to breathe.

The use of throwback scenes was especially nice, since not many series invest in those unless they’re crucial to the main leads. Having that kind of depth added to the storytelling made it feel more complete.

SO GOOD !! please give it a try and support them

I’ve watched so many GLs, but after finishing this masterpiece, I actually created this account just to tell you: please go watch and support it. I think because we had so many GLs in 2025, this series was slept on, but it truly is such a good one. It’s funny, charming, and it’s so rare to find a rom-com that isn’t cringe.
The kiss scenes may be a bit soft, but their chemistry, acting, and the writing of the characters are so good that you don’t even mind the minimal romance scenes. I loved the series so much that I originally wanted to give it an 8/10, but I’m adding the extra two stars for two reasons:
1) I, myself, overlooked it because it wasn’t very popular.
2) I finished all 8 episodes yesterday, and I’m so happy I finally got to watch a Thai GL after all the episodes were released.
