In Love Forever

Series of the year !!!

I am absolutely loving this series so far if I could give it more than 10 stars I would this is not your typical GL where it mainly focuses on the 2 girls but it actually touches on very realistic life lessons and obsticals that many face everyday. I have always loved LOs chemistry and acting especially in their eyes these 2 dont even need to speak for sparks to fly just one mere look are all it takes. One thing is for sure this show is clearly for genral audiance not simply for the lgbtq audiance and I love that. LO are phenomal actresses and they deserve credit for not being afraid to go out of the box of what a usual GL is and not just focus on leaning into the niche of GL but they are brodening it. Well done 👏

LingOrm is back.... And with a big bang!

My thoughts on the first five minutes of IN LOVE FOREVER… I still ❤️❤️❤️ Lingling’s face. The way the light hits her, it’s like the cinematographer also has a crush, and honestly, valid.

Orm’s character, I hope she stays strong and doesn’t cry so much (like she did in TSOU and OY)… but knowing these two and the way they weaponize every single tear, I’m already stocking up on tissues.

Ling’s mother in TSOU was the gorgeous Um Apasiri Nitibhon; whoever was in that photograph in OY was beautiful too; her momster in ILF is something else! She didn’t just enter the scene, she oozed in like a slime-clad poison, leaving a trail of fiery fury and icy disappointment. I’m obsessed. Terrified. Deeply entertained.

But let me gather myself because I’ve now devoured the whole episode, and my heart is doing that wobbly, slightly over-steeped tea feeling — warm but dangerously close to bitter if things go wrong.

Episode 1 is promising, and the central conflict has me chewing on my own fist. We have Runch, a woman whose love for her wife is so pure it practically glows, yet her entire soul is tangled in barbed wire made of filial piety. That mother is an emotional maximum-security prison, and Runch keeps visiting voluntarily, bringing flowers. It’s not just “mum isn’t supportive”; it’s a full-blown, generational manipulation banquet where love is served in control-sized portions and Runch has been conditioned to ask for seconds. The “momster” vase drop was perfect because it shows she isn't s a cartoon villain — she’s the kind of mother who can shatter her daughter with a single, arched eyebrow; then make Runch thank her for the pain. I want to hug Runch and also gently shake her, whispering, “Babygirl, your duty does not require your destruction.”

Then we have Neen, the nepo baby wife from the open-minded family — and can I just say, how refreshing it is to see a family that treats their daughter’s marriage as a joy and not a scandal? Neen’s parents probably have a framed wedding photo next to the Buddha shelf, offering incense for the couple’s everlasting happiness. She’s been raised with love that expands, not love that contracts into obligation. Watching her beam at Runch, so ready to build a life while unknowingly competing with a phantom mother-in-law who keeps moving the goalposts, makes me both swoon and preemptively ache. The cheeky part of me adores that Neen’s sunshine energy is so powerful, it’s practically a supernova facing a black hole of mother-in-law doom. But the sentimental part sees her wide-eyed, hopeful smiles, and thinks, “Oh, sweet girl, you’re in a boxing ring with a velvet glove and you don’t even know you’re bleeding.”

The push and pull is so painfully real. Filial piety isn’t just obligation; for Runch, it’s identity. Saying “no” to that mother feels like cutting off her own roots, even if those roots are wrapped around her throat. And honest love with Neen is the oxygen she never knew she needed. When they’re together, Runch’s face softens into something that says, “This is the real me, the one you’ve watered into blooming.” I’m rooting so hard for that version of her to grab the steering wheel and never let go.

If Runch and Neen do get divorced, I’d be so sad. Not just a little sad, but “lying on the floor staring at the ceiling while the OST plays on loop” sad. I’m not exaggerating — the thought of Neen packing her things while Runch stands frozen in the doorway, her mother’s voice still echoing in her bones, would genuinely wreck me. This show has already planted a tiny seed of dread beneath the romance, because the title is In Love Forever, and we all know that forever in drama is bought with struggle and sometimes a devastating separation before the final sunrise. I need the writers to know I am emotionally fragile and will accept nothing less than true love winning. Let the monster be tamed or at least forced into a timeout corner. Let Runch choose herself, which means choosing Neen, and let their marriage be a stubborn, beautiful rebellion that says, “Love is not a debt you owe your parents.”

So yeah, after episode 1, I’m in. Cheekily I say: bring on the mother-daughter drama, because I love to suffer in gorgeous lighting. Warmheartedly I whisper: please, let these two hold on. The world is hard enough without Runch and Neen losing each other to a woman who weaponizes guilt like a samurai sword. True love, the kind that respects you, frees you, and makes you laugh even when you’re scared — that should win.

I’m lighting a candle, offering a snack to the drama gods, and sitting here ready to scream, cry, and cheer for all eleven episodes more. Let’s go, In Love Forever. Make it worth my tons of tears.

I have watched almost every title in the Thai GL series inventory, and have seen some annoying/reprehensible/deplorable characters.... But Neen's monster-in-law REALLY takes the cake! I couldn't imagine myself having serious spite against a fictional character, but after watching ILF Ep7, I think I'm feeling REAL HATRED for that monster-in-law! Gosh.

⚠️SPOILER⚠️ Those who've read The Novel say that a real divorce will happen. Then Neen and Runch would reconnect two years later.... I'm preparing myself for the 💔💔💔💔 episode!

On Netflix: IN LOVE FOREVER always gets me hyperventilating! I've hypertension and hyperacidity, thanks to that loudmouth meddling hag, my goodness!!

The end-all and be-all of the IN LOVE FOREVER story: Runch and her dad should grow a spine and some real balls that are big enough to break Neen's monster-in-law's devil-horns!

How to have a terrible marriage:

Ep 1: I really liked the opening! It turned out beautifully. The audio had those classic clothing-rustling ASMR moments at times. I already feel sorry for Neen; having an aggressive mother-in-law who constantly humiliates and insults you is awful, but having a wife who doesn't defend you—and invalidates your feelings and opinions regarding her family—is even worse. Do better, Ran! I hope I change my mind about you!
And the worst part is that Neen has already stated what needs to be done: "set boundaries and defend her"—but Ran is playing dumb! Ran says: "When my mom fights with Neen, she gets a sad look on her face and WON'T ACCEPT IT"... What do you mean "won't accept it," Ran? Should she just accept your mom calling her useless, a bum, spoiled, ill-mannered, or a terrible wife?
I'm sorry, Ran, but it’s pointless to say you love Neen more than life itself if you aren't even willing to tell your mother: "This is my house, she is my wife, and I won't let you treat her badly. Don't visit me until you learn to respect her. When you want to see me, I’ll come visit you, Mom, but you are not going to insult my wife inside her own home."
It’s ridiculous for Ran to say she doesn't want to set boundaries with her mother because she doesn't want "the stress"! Marriage is for the good times and the bad! You have to fight for it! If you didn't want to have to fight someone for your wife's sake, you simply shouldn't have gotten a wife.

Neen doesn't say a word. Ran: "Don't say anything"... Hahahaha.

One of the most worthwhile series I’ve watched recently.

I’ve seen some people criticize the NC scene and use it to judge the entire film. Are you watching the movie or just the NC scene? Do you understand the message the film is trying to convey?

The film begins with an NC scene, then reveals that it was all just a dream of Runch, who is on the verge of divorcing her wife. They seem emotionally distant and even sleep separately.

The dream reflects Runch’s longing to be with her wife. Unfortunately, they can no longer be together the way they used to, which shows how deeply Runch still loves her. Even in her dreams, all she wants is to be close to the woman she loves.

This is a narrative device. The director is subtly portraying the current state of the couple’s marriage, not randomly inserting an NC scene for no reason.

And that NC scene doesn’t need to be overly passionate or explicit. It’s just a dream—nothing more, nothing less.

IT’S NOT REAL. 😔

An incredibly realistic and beautiful series!

This series is incredibly realistic and beautifully mirrors what many people experience in real life. It is a powerful story that goes beyond just a typical GL series; it is deeply relatable for anyone, regardless of their sexual orientation. Just like the amazing novel it is based on, the actors delivered such a brilliant and powerful performance. You can literally feel exactly what the characters are going through just by looking into their eyes and catching their expressions. Their chemistry is top-notch, and I cannot help but praise all the hard work and dedication they put into this project.

For those who have not watched it yet, I highly recommend you to give it a try. It shows us that for the LGBTQ+ community, love alone is not always enough to sustain a relationship; mutual understanding, constant care, and openness are just as essential—and this series beautifully portrays all of these aspects. Huge thanks to the ILF team and everyone involved for bringing this beautiful project to life. Thank you so much for this masterpiece!
