I didn’t expect to feel this invested
Broken of Love started with a level of care and quality that really surprised me in the best way. From the cinematography to the pacing, everything feels thoughtfully done and allows the story to unfold naturally without losing tension.Faye Peraya delivers a strong and controlled performance as expected, and Yarinda brings a very composed and compelling presence. But what stood out the most to me was Atom. As a newcomer, she feels incredibly natural on screen, and at times her performance is unexpectedly powerful. She doesn’t just keep up, she adds something fresh that really elevates the dynamic.
The chemistry between the leads feels organic and effortless, and the tone balances darker emotional elements with intimacy in a way that feels intentional rather than exaggerated.
The soundtrack is also a highlight. It’s honestly one of the strongest I’ve heard in a Thai GL and it enhances the emotional weight of each scene without overwhelming it.
Overall, this feels like a clear step forward, not just for the series itself, but for the genre. If they can maintain this level, Broken of Love has the potential to become something really special.

A dangerous game of emotions
What really stands out in Broken Of Love is how controlled everything feels on the surface while being chaotic underneath. Arisa isn’t just acting on revenge blindly, she’s calculating every move around Lalin and her family, which makes every interaction feel loaded. At the same time, Lalin feels like she’s slowly getting pulled in despite (apparently) not knowing the full truth. The tension comes less from big events and more from the fact that you’re always waiting for something to collapse. It’s uncomfortable in a good way, because you know someone is going to get hurt, but you still can’t look away.Was this review helpful to you?

Absolute perfection. A dark, shatterning masterpiece that redefines GL
I cannot even fully explain how I feel after finishing this series. I didn’t just watch it; I devoured it. This show completely destroyed me in the best way possible. I have watched many series before—including top-tier BLs like Not Me or KinnPorsche—and while I enjoyed them, I have never cried so purely from the bottom of my heart until now. Broken (Of) Love is a masterpiece on an entirely different level.Until episode 5, the show was already incredibly high quality, but episodes 6 and especially 7 completely shattered me. Episode 7 is easily my absolute favorite. The emotional depth and the acting are mind-blowing.
Lalin is a walking angel. The scene where she learns the truth about why Arisa did what she did, and she responds with so much unconditional devotion, made me sob. When she says she doesn't feel a single ounce of hatred because she actually understands Arisa's trauma... that is the ultimate form of pure love. She chooses understanding over anger in a world full of wreckage.
What makes this show a 10/10 (honestly, a 1000/10) is that it doesn't just focus on a shallow romance. It is a heavy, dark, psychological thriller that respects the depth and pain of women. The plot twists genuinely shock you. The commentary on the abuse of women is played so powerfully. The moment Wei Ling stays to help destroy the body of an abusive husband just to protect the woman she loves hits incredibly hard. It shows the terrifying reality of women having to become cold-blooded to survive monsters together. Even the generational love story between the mothers is so rare, beautiful, and monumental.
My deep apologies to Lalin's mother for ever doubting her—she is the ultimate green flag!
If you want a shallow, easy romance, this isn't it. But if you want raw emotional intimacy, breathtaking acting, a gripping dark plot, and a story where women fiercely protect each other against all odds, watch this immediately. This is PEAK television.

The Emotional Depth of “Broken of Love”
Broken of Love is not another formulaic GL (Girls’ Love) series, but an exceptionally refined and multilayered Thai production that skillfully combines themes of revenge with psychological drama and emotional romance. From the very first minutes, the viewer is drawn into a world where the past is not merely a painful memory — it becomes a force that shapes the characters’ present and influences every decision they make. The screenplay deserves special recognition for avoiding cheap plot devices and unjustified twists. The story unfolds gradually, with great attention paid to emotional tension and character psychology. The creators deliberately choose a slower narrative pace, allowing the atmosphere to become increasingly heavy, suffocating, and filled with unspoken emotions. It is precisely this carefully built intensity that makes Broken of Love so deeply engaging.At the same time, the series never turns into an overwhelmingly bleak drama focused solely on suffering. The production maintains an excellent balance between dramatic scenes, romance, moments of tension, and action. Because of this, the story feels alive, and the emotions never seem forced. There are conflicts, painful conversations, family disputes, and psychological burdens, yet everything is portrayed naturally, without excessive theatricality. It is evident that Faye Peraya Malisorn — both as an actress and producer — understood exactly how much emotion should be shown at any given moment so the audience would never feel emotionally exhausted. That balance makes the series incredibly immersive to watch.
The central figure of the story is Arisa (Faye Peraya Malisorn) — a mysterious, cold, and emotionally distant woman. She operates within a ruthless corporate world while hiding the trauma of her parents’ deaths beneath a mask of professionalism, along with a desire for revenge that drives her entire life. However, Arisa is far from one-dimensional. Beneath her silence, glances, and carefully controlled reactions lies an enormous emotional weight, which Faye portrays with remarkable subtlety.
Arisa’s path crosses with Lalin (Atom Pariya Piyapanopas), who is her complete opposite — open, spontaneous, and expressive, yet trapped within the expectations of her dominant and controlling mother, Welling. The relationship between Arisa and Lalin develops slowly, yet incredibly naturally. This is where the series reveals its greatest strength. The trope of seeking revenge against the enemy’s family has appeared countless times in Asian dramas, but here it gains a fresher and far more emotional dimension thanks to its placement within a complicated GL relationship. Their growing feelings gradually clash with family loyalty, duty, and the pain of the past.

must watch
Really enjoying this so far. The story feels engaging and easy to get into, and the emotional moments land well. Faye and Atom have great chemistry and make the scenes feel natural. It’s been a solid watch each week. It's a different plot from the norm, but if one pays attention to what is going on, it's easy to figure out some hidden things about the characters. Can't wait to see how things will unfold.Was this review helpful to you?
Revenge with a little love story
"Broken of Love" was an exceptional production, offering a unique narrative. I particularly appreciate the genre of revenge dramas. My only minor critique is that the limited eight-episode run somewhat constrained the depth of the revenge plot. I am curious about the rationale behind not extending the vengeful elements further, although the character development was commendably thorough. The romantic subplot was well-executed. To enhance the audience's belief in the profound love between the characters, a more extensive portrayal of their initial romantic development might have been beneficial. This would have solidified the conviction in LanLan's deep affection as the series progressed.Overall, it was a remarkable show, especially considering it was their inaugural production. I anticipate that their subsequent endeavors will feature more extensive narratives and potentially a greater number of episodes. I hold Faye and Atom in high regard, and their contributions were excellent.

Messy but good messiness
So, at first, I didn’t really want to watch this series, but I eventually decided to give it a try, and honestly, it wasn’t bad at all. A revenge storyline in a GL is definitely something different, and you can tell that a lot of work went into the story, the production, and the acting. And Arisa and Lalin’s relationship… absolutely insane, but also really interesting to watch.The plot twist was pretty predictable, but I didn’t really mind it. However, I definitely think the series should have ended at episode 6.
My main issue is the way Arisa’s past was handled. I feel like we were mostly told about what she went through instead of actually being shown it. We got a few flashbacks, but I really wish we had seen more of her suffering and everything that eventually pushed her toward revenge. It would have helped me understand her perspective and maybe even root for her, because personally, I was more on Lalin’s mother’s side.
I also wish we had gotten way more confrontation scenes from Lalin. I found her way too passive considering how serious and messed up the whole situation was. There was so much potential for more intense confrontations between the characters.
Same thing with the assistant and the journalist I really wish their relationship had been developed more.
And as for the relationship between Lalin’s mother and Arisa’s mother: psychiatric hospital. That’s all I’m going to say .
But overall, I still had a good time watching the series.

A magnificent series.I recommend Broken of Love- 100%
Faye and Atom are superb in this series!
Perfect acting, impressive plot and writing

I watched episodes 1 and 2 and it keeps getting better and better 😊
I am watching this series because it excellent to watch, but I am also watching this series because I support persons who decide to branch out on their own and build their own empire.
Hopefully, we will all have the will and opportunity to do what Faye did. Congratulations to her!

Flawless
I watched the show and came away with a really positive impression overall. The first thing that stands out is the pacing—it feels smooth and well thought out, never dragging or rushing through important moments. They clearly put effort into structuring the content in a way that keeps viewers engaged from beginning to end. There’s a natural flow that makes it easy to follow along, even if you’re not already familiar with the topic.Visually, the video is appealing. The quality is clear, and the framing helps emphasize the main points without unnecessary distractions. Whether it’s the lighting, camera angles, or editing choices, everything feels intentional and polished. The transitions between scenes are especially well done, adding a professional touch without feeling overdone.
The audio is another strong point. It’s crisp and easy to understand, which is crucial for maintaining attention. Background sounds or music, if present, complement the main content rather than overpowering it. This balance helps create an immersive viewing experience.
