Great little BL series with a nod to Love in the Air.
Make sure to watch the uncut version on iQIYI
If you’re wondering where the A Boy Next World shorts on YouTube of Sky and Pai’s wedding and Payu and Rain’s proposal come from then look no further. However, if you think this is a continuation of their stories you’ll be disappointed as they only have cameo roles in this drama.
This is actually a love story about Lom and Nuea. Nuea, a wedding planner, spots Lom when eating at MacDonalds and is immediately smitten. He is also the brains behind Sky and Pai nuptials and Lom who is a guest at the wedding notices him on the day working his magic and is also immediately smitten.
As a result of watching Nuea in action Lom then asks him to plan his wedding to his long term girlfriend Jiwa. However, things are not as they seem and the two men start to develop real feelings for each other and eventually Nuea finds out that he’s been organising a fake wedding. Eventually though they get their happy ending (the wedding is gorgeous btw) and this is a feel good romance flick during which there are plenty of amusing (for example the b*tch fight between the two mothers when things go south on the morning of the fake wedding is priceless), sad, frustrating and happy moments as they navigate their way to happiness. Lom’s rather lovely physique is also displayed to maximum effect as we see him in the gym, water skiing and lumping boxes round at the farm as well as topless with Nuea who despite his more slender frame. is also good on the eyes.
Interestingly, the actors who played Wim and Jin in A Boy Next World also appear in this drama and although they are also in a relationship together they play different unrelated characters called Ryu and Sun which fans of the ABNW series will probably find rather cute (and which no doubt adds to the gossip surrounding these actors).
The chemistry between the lead male actors is excellent and believable but that of the female actresses’ is a little less believable and slightly stilted especially when they’re behind closed doors or involved in kissing scenes so as a result I’ve knocked points off the acting/cast category. Several of the supporting actors are really good and they add depth to the story.
Would I watch this again? Probably not but it is a cute nod to A Boy Next World.
