Peach Lover

Peach Lover fails at the most basic level of storytelling.

Movement.
Scenes feel written for much shorter runtimes. Instead of adding story or subtext, we inserts long pauses, slow our line delivery to a snails pace, and drag out eye contact.
Silence replaces writing with no depth beneath the pauses.
And, this isn't done for emotional reasons. Whoever wrote this, wrote weak dialogue. Whoever directed this, gave terrible directing instructions. This is not one bad actor, this is one failure of a production.
This show feels actively hostile to watching audiences. It demands patience, without offering payoff or anything of substance.
Not even the insane chemistry of the leads can save this disaster.

Slow, slow, slow burn but good!

This was a really slow, slow, slow burning series, but i enjoyed it a lot! A series doesn't always have to have a big or complicated story to be good. The very well done intimate scenes were a nice bonus, the chemistry was amazing!!
For me the story of them falling in love was good enough. The only dissapointment was the second couple (bodyguard) They were bad at acting and no chemistry at all. The kisses were the only good thing they had.

It had stunning visuals and the music was good.

I liked the peach facts and how they displayed them in a smaller cinema like frame.
Same with the memories, they were always in a smaller frame, so easy to recognize.

The rescue after the kidnapping was a bit dissapointing. Just a few punches to rescue Po, the bodyguard did nothing... Then they stared and talked to each other for a few minutes, while the bad guys were just standing around them watching???
Then a small fight, witch was done well, but ended with Po's dad holding Sasom at gunpoint. Still the bodyguard was just standing around....

Poom really surprised me, i wasn't impressed by his acting in My sweetheart Jom and there was hardly any chemistry in that series. But in this one his acting was great an the chemistry amazing!!
And Ki did an amazing job, he showed to be a great actor though this was only his seccond series and the first one as a main.

This was a slightly different kind of BL, but I really liked it.
It had a unique feeling compared to what I usually watch, and that made it stand out in a good way. Sometimes it’s nice to watch something a bit different — and this one worked for me. 😊

★彡PSA: Peaches Are Not Safe Anymore After This Drama ☆彡

Whatching Peach Lover felt less like following a story and more like wandering through a dream carved in peach-coloured light. 🍑🌙✨

I’m not gonna lie… I am emotionally unstable after this 😭🔥.
This drama had EVERYTHING it needed to be DRAMA OF THE YEAR — the potential was honestly insane. I don’t know if the weakness came from the script or the novel, but PLEASE… if anyone knows where I can read the original, I’m literally begging 😭🍑📖.

The cast??? Gorgeous.
P’Heng??? Feeding us like the king he is. Again. And again. 🧡🔥

This is not a classic typical Thai BL drama — it breathes differently, moves differently, speaks differently.
The concept stands out immediately, and that’s exactly what makes this drama so unique.

The peach explanation alone was philosophical, desirable, humanistic, and artistically crafted.
It felt like listening to an artist describe his masterpiece — every word placed with intentional beauty. 🎨🍑✨

And now?
Peaches will never again be just fruit.
They’ve become symbols.
Memories.
Layers of sweetness wrapped in melancholy, meaning, and desire. 🍑💭

Each episode ended like a painter lifting his brush too early —
leaving me craving another taste, another colour, another bite of the truth.
And yet… I loved being fed slowly, gently, deliberately.

NC scenes? They SERVED. They delivered. Zero crumbs left. 🔥🍑😳

If I’m being honest, the only thing that needed improvement was the connection between the main and secondary characters.
Sometimes their interactions felt a little hollow — like when P’Meen visited P’Po and his partner wasn’t even there? (Sasom’s personal assistant?? Where were you, sir? 👀)

But even with its imperfections, Peach Lover feels like a piece of art you don’t simply watch…
you absorb it. 🍑🎨✨

Peach Lover Turned Me Into a Philosopher Against My Consent 🍑📚🧠✨

The worst thing I've seen since Flirt Milk

This was awful. I wouldn't recommend to anyone. This isn't even bad in the way that it's fun to watch, it's just bad.

First off, the two main characters seem so one-dimensional. They don't really have any personality. I've never read fanfics before, but they give Wattpad couple in the worst way. Sasom was just so boring to me. His actor was okay I guess but there was nothing interesting about him. Po annoyed me so much, but I think it was the actor more than the character. I don't know if anyone else feels this way, maybe it was just me, but the actor for Po gave me the ick with his facial expressions all throughout the show. He almost seemed like they were forced and very stereotypical "gay" facial expressions which almost made it feel homophobic. Just very creepy. (I really hope someone knows what I mean when I say that). That made me really not like his character.

The plot for these two was not thought out at all. Everything with Po's dad was such a waste. He popped into the story way too late for anyone to care. If this was going to be a thing, why did it wait until episode like 9 or 10?! The show is wrapping up at that point. Even the whole thing with Po being the new "peach" seemed to be such an afterthought. The show seemed more just about two people who like to have s*x. Which speaking of the spicy scenes...sheesh. This show is already a big risk because of what the plot is supposed to be and therefore there will be a lot of spicy scenes, which is fine, but when the plot is practically nonexistent...you just have p*rn. Don't get me wrong, I love a spicy BL, but this was just not it. Between there being no plot, the characters being unlikable, and the relationship being noting more than s*x, it made the spice scenes super unenjoyable to me. All the conversations that were had in this were also just so boring that I watched them on 2x speed and it was still boring me.

For the second couple, if they can even be called that...girl where were they? They had absolutely no screentime. I couldn't even tell you their names if I tried. Also, the one who works at the coffee shop and Po are supposed to be best friends, but I think they had maybe two scenes together. The show ended and I don't think either one of them even knew the other had a boyfriend. The second couple was so nonexistent in the show that I don't know why they even had them in there. They felt so disconnected from the main story.

I heard they used AI for the art too which is another huge thumbs down for the series.

This was actually just such a waste of time. I can't say enough how bad this is. Bad acting, bad writing, bad everything.

A lot of NC scenes with a lack of plot does not make a good series

Disclaimer

What I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.

So, I just started this series on a whim and did not know what to expect. And while it started off strong, I felt that for me, it lost its appeal as it continued. I am not going to complain about the NC scene because the premise is about a sensual account holder and their fan. What I have an issue with is the plot of this series – or lack of it. Let's be real – this series was unable to carry out a good and entertaining series on the plot that it was given – a weak-ass father as a villain, the return of the former peach and a secondary couple that just did not really hold my interest.

I will say this – Ki Niwat Naknuan, who plays Saom, did a good job with his character, and I am equally impressed, as this was his first main role. While I may personally think he needs some improvement (his emotional scenes did nothing for me), he was WAY better than "Poom" Nuttapart Tuntistinchai, who played Po, as I felt when he was trying to be seductive/sexy, it just came across as cringy as hell to me. And when he was trying to be tough to his dad, that didn't transition well to me, one of many viewers.

I have also learnt about unnecessary stuff about peaches that, who knows, may become useful in the future. But I can say as of right now, it annoyed the hell out of me. I personally felt that the last episode felt more like a special episode, as the majority of the episode really didn't have anything to do with the series (except for one aspect of it that I will not divulge, as it can be seen as a spoiler if I do). They just basically wrapped up everything with a nice bow with some flashback scenes here and there.

P.S. – I am not even going into the excessive use of lip gloss because that too was annoying me so much.

NC as a crutch for bad acting & horrendous pacing

I started this largely because I have a niche interest in stories that revolve around sex work and sex workers. See, 99% of the population engages in sex in some way or another. However, sex work, actually, sex itself is still, oddly, very taboo.

Because of that, I like to see how those who engage in sex work, especially publicly, deal with the repercussions of it. I wanna delve into their minds and see how their lives are. Who they are and their motivations, past the naked self that the population sees on some 18+ website. One of the books I've read on this is Insatiable by Asa Akira.

Going into this, I thought that that'd be the kind of story we'd be getting. A man who got into sex work because he wanted to get close to his favourite p🌽rn actor, and his life (as well as their love story), once the videos go live. I blame myself for not reading the synopsis in full, as clearly, the videos shall never go live. What I thought this story was is, in fact, not what it is.

My misplaced expectations aside, as the title says, so far, the acting and pacing have been utter shit. This is unfortunate, as you can see that there's a story here.

🎥Sasom is a popular mainstream celebrity who also does p🌽rn videos as a means of escape from his life. Specifically from the pressure of the image his fans expect and his bottom of the barel parents. He feels constricted, and publishing those videos helps him feel free.

🎥Po, on the other hand, also got the short end of the stick with his parents (read, his dad). You can see that motivations exist that push these two people into a very unconventional career path.

🎥There's also the story with Sasom's ex. So far, the teaser dialogue we've heard from him is him blaming Sasom for ruining his life. How did he do it? Was it because in the videos, Sasom's face is covered, but the exs' face was not, and someone found out? I am curious.

Regretably, the pacing of this plot and the acting —by honestly all the characters— do not help sell this plot. I find myself watching episodes in 1.5x & 2x speed (Episodes 1 and 3 were watched in 1.5x and episode 2 was watched in 2x speed). I find myself struggling to pay attention to the plot or care about the characters, their struggles, and their blooming love story.

The NC scenes are also unnecessary. OK, most of them, not all. Look at me calling smut unnecessary. Who even am I right now?😭😭.

From my perspective, they are used as filler to help further derail the plot. Of all the scenes we've seen so far, I think the only ones that were pertinent to the plot were
1. The 1st time that they met, with Sasom saying that he needed to 'taste' Po *insert weirderd out shiver here* — basically test drive him. I guess you could say he wanted to see if they meshed s3xually for the videos

2. After Sasom came from meeting his dad. That scene said a lot, notably about Sasom's relationship with his dad

Apart from these two, everything else has been useless filler. It's like they saw the success of 'My Stubborn' with it's never ending NC scenes and chose to run with that

I feel like continuing to watch this would be me putting myself through so much nonsense, filler, bad acting, and boredom JUST to pick out a crumb of plot per episode. I refuse. Life's too short for that. I've always been pro-DNFing books, and that'll not change with a TV show. Until next time...✌🏾

In the series My Sweetheart Jom Poom Nuttapart Tuntistinchai
acted and was very likable, but here...it seems that everyone cares about money, they don't read the script or know what to do. This should be banned for under 16s. Elem, from 55 minutes, by fast-forwarding and stopping only at dialogues, I watched the episode in almost 17 minutes, so everything is clear. The whole series can fit in 2 episodes, at least we know the sex scenes. Desperately bad acting, director missed the genre, this should be shown on XXX channels. There is no production.

This is so desperate, inhumane, amateurish... that with one role you can ruin everything you've built. BTW Ki Niwat Naknuan no actor, desperate, he has a nice body, I guess his dick is small but he's ugly, small mouth, disproportionate head...it's not all about the beautiful body, there's something about the brain and the beautiful face

My Ethics Won

I debated a lot with myself over the last few days: Should I continue with "Peach Lover"? And now, shortly before the second episode will air, I decided I cannot let my curiosity win over my ethics.

My dilemma was that on the one hand, the first episode has several minutes of genAI slop, ugly slop at that. But on the other hand, I was curious to know how the story would unfold.

I find generative AI highly unethical. Not only uses it stolen artwork for its generated "art", it also consumes high amounts of energy and clean water by doing so and pushes real human artists out of their jobs -- and for what? That a handful of rich billionaires get richer. That CEOs think they save money. That we get cheaply made slop sold as "art".
(And it's even worse that Po is a cover artist for novels -- one of the jobs that are endangered by genAI already.)

The thing that made me hesitate was that I was -- still am -- extremely curious to see how the story would develop. I liked the hints of a deeper backstory (even if the way the screenplay told us about the main characters' reasons for going into online sex work was *very* heavy-handed). I was intrigued by the possibility of a story that explores how sex can feel liberating, how we can use our bodies to express ourselves -- by the possibility of a story about hiding in plain sight, about being presented vs. being seen, about identity and being able to be who we are. There is a lot of potential for it to be something very, very good.
And Poom was excellent in this first episode -- maybe his partner too, we didn't see enough of him yet to be sure.

But no.

I cannot in good conscience give my eyes, my attention, and my money to greedy producers who think it's okay to cut corners ("save money") by using genAI slop instead of paying an actual artist.
This also taints everything in this production -- what else, apart from the minutes-long slide-shows in the beginning and in the end of the first episode was done with genAI? The screenplay? The set design? The background score?

I don't understand how iQiYi, Copy A Bangkok or Cheewin Thanamin can condone it and willingly put their name on something like this. And I admit it, I also don't understand viewers who support it -- if we don't make it very clear *now* that the media we consume should be ethically made and *not* use genAI, then we will see a lot more of it in the future, because producers *will* (rightly) think they can get away with it.

I don't want a future like that.

Do you?
