Hi! I just finished the first episode and half of the second episode. Im just wondering where the story will go.…
the story really picks up after ep 3. i suggest you skip ahead to watch ep 4 and 5 to see if it's for you. but ifylita itself is like a slow period romance drama so if you're not in the mood for slowburn romance i think you can try again this series later at another time once you're in the mood. but ep 4 and 5 are particularly great episodes š

the story really picks up after ep 3. i suggest you watch ep 4 and 5 to see if it's for you. but ifylita itself is like a slow period romance drama so if you're not in the mood for slowburn romance i think you can come around after. but ep 4 and 5 are particularly great episodes š
So I'm back with some preliminary thoughts on Ep 5 The piecing of the mystery aspect of IFYLITA is masterfully done. So the principle is that every time Jom draws, a time-space wormhole thing opens up and heāll somehow be connected briefly with his present timeline. The production team did a really good job crafting this because honestly this was not made clear at all in the novel. I wonder if they consulted with the author in order to get this narrative cleared but essentially the way this is puzzled and structured is just really well thought out.
Khun Yai is truly the greenest flag my gad. The way Yai was so afraid that heād done something inapproriate to Jom while being intoxicated lmao. Jom teasing drunk Khun Yai was equally adorable too. When Jom flirtily recited what Khun Yai said to him last night and then jumped when he remembered his place likeeeeee I love how self-aware Nonkul is playing Jom to be. Like you can really feel like this is a Panic Gay from modern time being transported back in time.
I love Ming and his momās subplot. It pains me to see him being beaten by Mr. Robert even if I already knew beating houseworkers was a norm back then (that sinister man). Down-beat moments like these give depth to our seemingly comic-relief sidekick and Iām so happy we get to see Ming more than just Jomās friend.
A particular detail I like is by the end of the conversation where Jom told Yai about Mingās situation, Jom says āfun dee na krubā (Sweet dreams) to Khun Yai to which he replies āra tree sawatā (Good night, in the most formal way) and they both smiled at each other. Thereās so much tenderness in the ways they say bid adieu and the tension is killing me.
Like I know Ohm is supposedly his cheating ex but damn I love every scene between Khamsaen and Jom so far because Nonkul really brings out all the emotions to show a frustrated heartbroken gay. Jom is over his ex but I love that he can still feel bitter over this couple, because thatās so valid of him.
One thing you have to love about Khun Yai is that heās so damn intuitive to Jomās feelings. Even if thereās just a single movement, itās like Khun Yai can already tell something is troubling Jom or thereās something going on. The series is self-aware about this running gag too, love that little dialogue between them acknowledging it: āI have something bothering meā - āIām starting to get used to itā
āItās not strange at all. Are making flower garlands suitable only fit for women?ā - Khun Yai destroying gender stereotypes in 1927. WE LOVE YEW SIR.
I think Ming - Mae Prik - Jom subplot in this episode highlights an important theme of this series which is ābecoming the maker of oneās destinyā. Ming and Mae Prik have both said something similar about how they just need to accept whatever comes to them in the life of a servant, contrasting to Jom who has been thrown misery after misery but heās not giving up on accepting things as is, even though things may seem rough. Itās such a shame that we canāt really have season 2 with Jom being sent back to 1800s because I think the point of the novel in having send Jom back twice in history is to have the first Jom be a passive version and the second time Jom be a more active version, determined to do whatever he needs to achieve āhappinessā. Regardless, I think Nonkul is doing well to portray the complex person that Jom is to balance out the multi-faceted struggles our cute Jom face being stucked in 1927 and unfortunate events just keep popping up his ways.
Khun Lek is the cutest kid my god. I need this kid to show up in every single episode to give me that 3 minute scene of domesticity from YaiJom because you can simply tell how whipped this man is from the way heās staring at his little brother playing with his crush likeeeeeeeā¦ the dude aināt hiding AT ALL. You know what this reminds me of, it's like when Mr. Darcy saw how easy Elizabeth got along with his little sister Georgiana. There is just something so sweet when one partner sees their family get along with the person they like #family #future-in-laws.
I praise it every week but like the visual effects and sound really deserves all the praises. I sincerely hope everyone is watching the UNCUT version on Youku Vip (like me) or UNCUT on Gagaoolala because this show has perfect scoring and the sound REALLY adds to the effect of each scenes, especially dramatic and thrilling ones. The Youtube version is said to often have audio issues I think so I hope everyone is able to enjoy the same high-quality level series I'm watching right now
I'm so excited for next week already ahhhhh. The sulky Khun Yai? The classy Pride & Prejudice like confession? I love noble ML who loves to show affection through action more than words but then their partner is just slow so they need to spell it out in big bold letters. I CANNOT WAIT!
Everyone should watch this series.... I really cannot praise it enough... I LOVE EVERY EPISODE OF I FEEL YOU LINGER IN THE AIR. IT KEEPS BUILDING UP!
Some years ago, when I was a teenager, I didn't understand why girls were so in love with Mr. Darcy from Pride…
Although this does not necessarily mean much but I think we should also consider the fact that Step By Step and I Feel You Linger In the Air does not share too many screenwriters. I compiled it in this Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/boyslove/comments/16eib4s/the_overlapping_of_dee_hup_house_creatives/) but you can see that the most overlapping screenwriters among Dee Hup House production is Lovely Writer, Hidden Agenda and I Feel You Linger In The Air. Step By Step and IFYLITA only shares 2 writers among their respective 4 screenwriters so I think it's more the issue of screen-writing... but yea... Step By Step was a set back from Lovely Writer imho as a HUGE fan of LW but I'm so glad to see Dee Hup House bounce back with IFYLITA.

So... Bright Rapheephong just said he's part of this Pin Anong remake (I believe) in this interview: https://twitter.com/Lingerair/status/1702618245881319574. Does anyone have any guess which actor he's replacing/role he's playing?
How is this guys, does it seem promising? Worth watching? And if it is do i need to watch thr pilot first?
You don't need to watch the pilot, you can just start watching the show. Uncut version is better because it makes more sense. If you like something slower than usual but with a refreshing storyline you should join us and watch it right now. If you don't want the torture of waiting 1 week/ep I think you should wait for 2-3 weeks to start binge-watching but it's a VERY PROMISING slowburn, worth the hype.
I'm so excited for this film! The OST '(Not) Close Friends' by AHEYE 4EVE, PIMMA PiXXiE, TAD ATLAS, GUITAR NEW COUNTRY, APO 789, HYE PAPER PLANES is OUT on all streaming platforms.
Just want to ask... I'm not really expert with Thai dramas afterall. But is this can be considered as lakorn like…
I'm borrowing this from a Reddit comment I saved on the boyslove subreddit The word āLakornā technically includes various forms of drama including stage play. But in every day usage, it is understood that it refers to scripted series on tv.
"In the old times, "Lakorn" referred to stage play or drama. The traditional show where performers danced and acted and sometimes sang. This meaning is still used today but much rarer than No.2
In the tv era, the "television Lakorn" became a thing. But people often just shortened the word to simply "Lakorn". It referred to any series on tv. For series produced in Thailand, they tended to be melodramatic and soapy but there were some that were different as well.
At some point, American series were imported to Thailand. For some reason, instead of being called "Lakorn" they were called by the English name "Series". Much later, when Korean series became a thing, they too were referred to in Thai as "Series" rather than "Lakorn".
When Nadao created Hormones The Series in 2013, they at first decided to call it "Lakorn Series" combining both words into one. I think they wanted to use the word Series to signify that they were different from other Thai Lakorns.
Modern teen series created after Hormones mostly took on the name "Series" and ditched "Lakorn". This is to show that they are a new breed of tv series, unlike other Thai Lakorn. In effect, Thai series became split into the conventional "Lakorns" and the new "Series".
As BLs are a subset of teen series, they too use the name "Series" and not "Lakorn"
However, in official use, such as by some government documents or by some award ceremonies, both "Series" and "Lakorns" are still grouped into one. They all would be referred to as "Lakorns" or "television Lakorns" in such case."
As you can see, it depends on how YOU define lakorn. In my personal opinion, I view IFYLITA as a series not lakorn because I personally associate the word lakorn with CH3 type soap operas, with TV soap-like editing (see: To Sir With Love). I Feel You Linger In The Air does not have such vibes. It's cinematic-like, kinda like BBC period miniseries if you've ever seen those?
TLDR: IMHO, IFYLITA is a Period LGBTQ+ series, rather than lakorn because its production is distinctively cinematic-looking rather than plot-driven, heavy dialogue-ish (things characteristic of Thai soap opera dramas).
the sound should be fine if u watch it here. it really depends on where you're watch the ep. https://kissasian.pe/drama/i-feel-you-linger-in-the-air-2023-episode-4
Someone asked me this on Reddit so I thought it's interesting to share that the "book" that Khun Yai was reading in that poetry reading scene is actually a famous Thai epic poem 'Khun Chang Khun Phaen' (like Greek's Odyssey) and it's not like the man is reading some smutty period novel guys. This is not explained in the series but Jom was taken aback because there is smut in that book whereas the censored/modern version Jom learned in school did not have such "sexy" scenes in the poem (based on my knowledge of the novel).

This is not explained in the series but Jom was taken aback because there is smut in that book whereas the censored/modern version Jom learned in school did not have such "sexy" scenes in the poem (based on my knowledge of the novel).
On Khun Yai bringing Jom to his house scene, we get to see a stunned Jom who is taken aback by the familiarity of this house (which Jom will eventually put it all together that everything is fated and him coming to Khun Yaiās house is DESTINY) because it reminds him of his current renovation project back in the present. We get a shot where Nonkul pauses a bit and blinks before stepping into the house and I just love how the series are using very subtle shots to show the inner feelings of the character.
Khun Yai is just so caring with Jom, heās constantly asking Jom if heās okay, if he likes his room, his food, assuring Jom that everything will be alright. Khun Yai (un)intentionally blurting out that he likes [it] too when Jom replies that he likes his room had me screaming in my pillow.
I think itās the perfect episode for the age reveal of Khun Yai (20). Episode 4 is a monumental episode for Khun Yai and Jomās relationship because we are finally getting to see Khun Yai going all out with his subtle flirting games (and he is killing it). Both Jom (and us the audience) finally knowing Khun Yaiās age is logical because it explains well why Yai seems both mature but also has that cheekiness and playful-ness of a young man in love for the first time in his life. Iām not sure if itās too early to make this judgement but I think Khun Yaiās motivation and background story is more well crafted in the series as well because we also gets a glimpse of the conflict between Khun Yai and his father and Yaiās struggle to do things HE WANTS or to be an obedient son, whereas this was all pretty nonexistent in the novel.
The poetry reading scene is so cute. We start with Khun Yai offering his favorite dessert to Jom and thereās just this huge smile on Khun Yaiās face (the man is WHIPPED), this is the 2nd time in this episode where Khun Yai says he likes that Jom like (something). Khun Yai then makes Jom read his book for him and we finally get a moment of modern Jom back that is just hilarious. Jom doing this whole rant about infidelity, hating men with multiple wives, cheating men is absolutely adorable and I love that Jom isnāt afraid to speak his mind (which makes Khun Yai all the more intrigued). It really was the perfect set up before the drunken confession where Jom told Khun Yai that if he keeps being flirty with poetry like that, he would have 10 lovers to which Yai replied with āLovers? For me, ONE is enough.ā
Before our big drunken confession scene, we get Jom fixing his suit & tie and Khun Yai comforting Jom that everything will be alright and assures him that he does what want (choosing Jom to be his majordomo) because throughout this episode Jomās biggest dilemma is not understanding Khun Yaiās determination to choose him and protect him against the opposition of his parents or the other maids. Khun Yai also tells Jom to sleep early but we still get Jom waiting up, worrying for Khun Yai when itās so late and he isnāt back yet (domesticity at its peak).
This whole scene is just adorable and that shot of Jom right after Khun Yai leaves and Jom touches his face because of the butterflies he be getting (same bro SAME). Jom scrunches his face into a huge smile before facepalming himself and I think Nonkul has absolutely stolen my heart because how can our protagonist be SO DARN CUTE (i get Khun Yai manā¦ i get him i really do)
THE DRUNKEN CONFESSION SCENE. I paused every 2 seconds I kid you not. It was so tension-filled and tender and just soft. Khun Yai using that drowsy voice to recite romantic poems and that intense gaze, I AM ABSOLUTELY FLOORED. No but like we need to talk about every single one of Khun Yaiās movements in this scene because I think everything is perfect from the way he nuzzles onto Jomās lap, his thumb caressing Jom's hand when Jom recalls his ex, the hurt in his eyes seeing the person he likes in pain from having sad memories of a past lover. Bright is such a phenomenal actor and I need everyone to perceive him right now like my dude is BRINGING Jane Austen Male Lead A-GAME. Like if you told me this was Brightās first male lead role ever, I would call you a liar because how????????
Muey and Ueang Pung are so sweet. Their scene is so tense though, I canāt believe weāre getting a GL storyline in this, itās such a pleasant surprise addition to the series. And I think it compliments well to have two different master x servant love storylines and I canāt wait to see how their story unfolds.
Ming is such a supportive best friend. Ming constantly reassures Jom that things will be alright, defends Jom from a jealous maid who said mean things to him. While the novel did not explore any supporting characters, the series is giving us an indepth look into the supporting characters to explain the ways they are and why they treat our protagonist Jom the way they do. I love how we are given a glimpse into Mingās background story so we know that he also wishes to escape Mr. Robertās household but is unable to do so because of the circumstances. Despite the hardships he face, Ming is not bitter and envious of Jomās opportunity to work in Khun Yaiās household but remains ever supportive and promising him theyāll stay friends. Jom and Ming are so cute, I shall protect them at all cost.
I love that Khun Lek kid, heās so adorable and itās really nice to have the light-hearted moments between Khun Yai, Khun Lek and Jom in between the crazy tense scenes.
The cinematography and the score remains immaculate and perfect as always. IFYLITA really proves itself to be an invested series with each and every episode. Looking forward to next weekās episode already

The piecing of the mystery aspect of IFYLITA is masterfully done. So the principle is that every time Jom draws, a time-space wormhole thing opens up and heāll somehow be connected briefly with his present timeline. The production team did a really good job crafting this because honestly this was not made clear at all in the novel. I wonder if they consulted with the author in order to get this narrative cleared but essentially the way this is puzzled and structured is just really well thought out.
Khun Yai is truly the greenest flag my gad. The way Yai was so afraid that heād done something inapproriate to Jom while being intoxicated lmao. Jom teasing drunk Khun Yai was equally adorable too. When Jom flirtily recited what Khun Yai said to him last night and then jumped when he remembered his place likeeeeee I love how self-aware Nonkul is playing Jom to be. Like you can really feel like this is a Panic Gay from modern time being transported back in time.
I love Ming and his momās subplot. It pains me to see him being beaten by Mr. Robert even if I already knew beating houseworkers was a norm back then (that sinister man). Down-beat moments like these give depth to our seemingly comic-relief sidekick and Iām so happy we get to see Ming more than just Jomās friend.
A particular detail I like is by the end of the conversation where Jom told Yai about Mingās situation, Jom says āfun dee na krubā (Sweet dreams) to Khun Yai to which he replies āra tree sawatā (Good night, in the most formal way) and they both smiled at each other. Thereās so much tenderness in the ways they say bid adieu and the tension is killing me.
Like I know Ohm is supposedly his cheating ex but damn I love every scene between Khamsaen and Jom so far because Nonkul really brings out all the emotions to show a frustrated heartbroken gay. Jom is over his ex but I love that he can still feel bitter over this couple, because thatās so valid of him.
One thing you have to love about Khun Yai is that heās so damn intuitive to Jomās feelings. Even if thereās just a single movement, itās like Khun Yai can already tell something is troubling Jom or thereās something going on. The series is self-aware about this running gag too, love that little dialogue between them acknowledging it: āI have something bothering meā - āIām starting to get used to itā
āItās not strange at all. Are making flower garlands suitable only fit for women?ā - Khun Yai destroying gender stereotypes in 1927. WE LOVE YEW SIR.
I think Ming - Mae Prik - Jom subplot in this episode highlights an important theme of this series which is ābecoming the maker of oneās destinyā. Ming and Mae Prik have both said something similar about how they just need to accept whatever comes to them in the life of a servant, contrasting to Jom who has been thrown misery after misery but heās not giving up on accepting things as is, even though things may seem rough. Itās such a shame that we canāt really have season 2 with Jom being sent back to 1800s because I think the point of the novel in having send Jom back twice in history is to have the first Jom be a passive version and the second time Jom be a more active version, determined to do whatever he needs to achieve āhappinessā. Regardless, I think Nonkul is doing well to portray the complex person that Jom is to balance out the multi-faceted struggles our cute Jom face being stucked in 1927 and unfortunate events just keep popping up his ways.
Khun Lek is the cutest kid my god. I need this kid to show up in every single episode to give me that 3 minute scene of domesticity from YaiJom because you can simply tell how whipped this man is from the way heās staring at his little brother playing with his crush likeeeeeeeā¦ the dude aināt hiding AT ALL.

I love Ming and his momās subplot. It pains me to see him being beaten by Mr. Robert even if I already knew beating houseworkers was a norm back then (that sinister man). Down-beat moments like these give depth to our seemingly comic-relief sidekick and Iām so happy we get to see Ming more than just Jomās friend.
A particular detail I like is by the end of the conversation where Jom told Yai about Mingās situation, Jom says āfun dee na krubā (Sweet dreams) to Khun Yai to which he replies āra tree sawatā (Good night, in the most formal way) and they both smiled at each other. Thereās so much tenderness in the ways they say bid adieu and the tension is killing me.
Like I know Ohm is supposedly his cheating ex but damn I love every scene between Khamsaen and Jom so far because Nonkul really brings out all the emotions to show a frustrated heartbroken gay. Jom is over his ex but I love that he can still feel bitter over this couple, because thatās so valid of him.
One thing you have to love about Khun Yai is that heās so damn intuitive to Jomās feelings. Even if thereās just a single movement, itās like Khun Yai can already tell something is troubling Jom or thereās something going on. The series is self-aware about this running gag too, love that little dialogue between them acknowledging it: āI have something bothering meā - āIām starting to get used to itā
āItās not strange at all. Are making flower garlands suitable only fit for women?ā - Khun Yai destroying gender stereotypes in 1927. WE LOVE YEW SIR.
I think Ming - Mae Prik - Jom subplot in this episode highlights an important theme of this series which is ābecoming the maker of oneās destinyā. Ming and Mae Prik have both said something similar about how they just need to accept whatever comes to them in the life of a servant, contrasting to Jom who has been thrown misery after misery but heās not giving up on accepting things as is, even though things may seem rough. Itās such a shame that we canāt really have season 2 with Jom being sent back to 1800s because I think the point of the novel in having send Jom back twice in history is to have the first Jom be a passive version and the second time Jom be a more active version, determined to do whatever he needs to achieve āhappinessā. Regardless, I think Nonkul is doing well to portray the complex person that Jom is to balance out the multi-faceted struggles our cute Jom face being stucked in 1927 and unfortunate events just keep popping up his ways.
Khun Lek is the cutest kid my god. I need this kid to show up in every single episode to give me that 3 minute scene of domesticity from YaiJom because you can simply tell how whipped this man is from the way heās staring at his little brother playing with his crush likeeeeeeeā¦ the dude aināt hiding AT ALL. You know what this reminds me of, it's like when Mr. Darcy saw how easy Elizabeth got along with his little sister Georgiana. There is just something so sweet when one partner sees their family get along with the person they like #family #future-in-laws.
I praise it every week but like the visual effects and sound really deserves all the praises. I sincerely hope everyone is watching the UNCUT version on Youku Vip (like me) or UNCUT on Gagaoolala because this show has perfect scoring and the sound REALLY adds to the effect of each scenes, especially dramatic and thrilling ones. The Youtube version is said to often have audio issues I think so I hope everyone is able to enjoy the same high-quality level series I'm watching right now
I'm so excited for next week already ahhhhh. The sulky Khun Yai? The classy Pride & Prejudice like confession? I love noble ML who loves to show affection through action more than words but then their partner is just slow so they need to spell it out in big bold letters. I CANNOT WAIT!
Everyone should watch this series.... I really cannot praise it enough... I LOVE EVERY EPISODE OF I FEEL YOU LINGER IN THE AIR. IT KEEPS BUILDING UP!

The word āLakornā technically includes various forms of drama including stage play. But in every day usage, it is understood that it refers to scripted series on tv.
"In the old times, "Lakorn" referred to stage play or drama. The traditional show where performers danced and acted and sometimes sang. This meaning is still used today but much rarer than No.2
In the tv era, the "television Lakorn" became a thing. But people often just shortened the word to simply "Lakorn". It referred to any series on tv. For series produced in Thailand, they tended to be melodramatic and soapy but there were some that were different as well.
At some point, American series were imported to Thailand. For some reason, instead of being called "Lakorn" they were called by the English name "Series". Much later, when Korean series became a thing, they too were referred to in Thai as "Series" rather than "Lakorn".
When Nadao created Hormones The Series in 2013, they at first decided to call it "Lakorn Series" combining both words into one. I think they wanted to use the word Series to signify that they were different from other Thai Lakorns.
Modern teen series created after Hormones mostly took on the name "Series" and ditched "Lakorn". This is to show that they are a new breed of tv series, unlike other Thai Lakorn. In effect, Thai series became split into the conventional "Lakorns" and the new "Series".
As BLs are a subset of teen series, they too use the name "Series" and not "Lakorn"
However, in official use, such as by some government documents or by some award ceremonies, both "Series" and "Lakorns" are still grouped into one. They all would be referred to as "Lakorns" or "television Lakorns" in such case."
As you can see, it depends on how YOU define lakorn. In my personal opinion, I view IFYLITA as a series not lakorn because I personally associate the word lakorn with CH3 type soap operas, with TV soap-like editing (see: To Sir With Love). I Feel You Linger In The Air does not have such vibes. It's cinematic-like, kinda like BBC period miniseries if you've ever seen those?
TLDR: IMHO, IFYLITA is a Period LGBTQ+ series, rather than lakorn because its production is distinctively cinematic-looking rather than plot-driven, heavy dialogue-ish (things characteristic of Thai soap opera dramas).

On Khun Yai bringing Jom to his house scene, we get to see a stunned Jom who is taken aback by the familiarity of this house (which Jom will eventually put it all together that everything is fated and him coming to Khun Yaiās house is DESTINY) because it reminds him of his current renovation project back in the present. We get a shot where Nonkul pauses a bit and blinks before stepping into the house and I just love how the series are using very subtle shots to show the inner feelings of the character.
Khun Yai is just so caring with Jom, heās constantly asking Jom if heās okay, if he likes his room, his food, assuring Jom that everything will be alright. Khun Yai (un)intentionally blurting out that he likes [it] too when Jom replies that he likes his room had me screaming in my pillow.
I think itās the perfect episode for the age reveal of Khun Yai (20). Episode 4 is a monumental episode for Khun Yai and Jomās relationship because we are finally getting to see Khun Yai going all out with his subtle flirting games (and he is killing it). Both Jom (and us the audience) finally knowing Khun Yaiās age is logical because it explains well why Yai seems both mature but also has that cheekiness and playful-ness of a young man in love for the first time in his life. Iām not sure if itās too early to make this judgement but I think Khun Yaiās motivation and background story is more well crafted in the series as well because we also gets a glimpse of the conflict between Khun Yai and his father and Yaiās struggle to do things HE WANTS or to be an obedient son, whereas this was all pretty nonexistent in the novel.
The poetry reading scene is so cute. We start with Khun Yai offering his favorite dessert to Jom and thereās just this huge smile on Khun Yaiās face (the man is WHIPPED), this is the 2nd time in this episode where Khun Yai says he likes that Jom like (something). Khun Yai then makes Jom read his book for him and we finally get a moment of modern Jom back that is just hilarious. Jom doing this whole rant about infidelity, hating men with multiple wives, cheating men is absolutely adorable and I love that Jom isnāt afraid to speak his mind (which makes Khun Yai all the more intrigued). It really was the perfect set up before the drunken confession where Jom told Khun Yai that if he keeps being flirty with poetry like that, he would have 10 lovers to which Yai replied with āLovers? For me, ONE is enough.ā
Before our big drunken confession scene, we get Jom fixing his suit & tie and Khun Yai comforting Jom that everything will be alright and assures him that he does what want (choosing Jom to be his majordomo) because throughout this episode Jomās biggest dilemma is not understanding Khun Yaiās determination to choose him and protect him against the opposition of his parents or the other maids. Khun Yai also tells Jom to sleep early but we still get Jom waiting up, worrying for Khun Yai when itās so late and he isnāt back yet (domesticity at its peak).
This whole scene is just adorable and that shot of Jom right after Khun Yai leaves and Jom touches his face because of the butterflies he be getting (same bro SAME). Jom scrunches his face into a huge smile before facepalming himself and I think Nonkul has absolutely stolen my heart because how can our protagonist be SO DARN CUTE (i get Khun Yai manā¦ i get him i really do)
THE DRUNKEN CONFESSION SCENE. I paused every 2 seconds I kid you not. It was so tension-filled and tender and just soft. Khun Yai using that drowsy voice to recite romantic poems and that intense gaze, I AM ABSOLUTELY FLOORED. No but like we need to talk about every single one of Khun Yaiās movements in this scene because I think everything is perfect from the way he nuzzles onto Jomās lap, his thumb caressing Jom's hand when Jom recalls his ex, the hurt in his eyes seeing the person he likes in pain from having sad memories of a past lover. Bright is such a phenomenal actor and I need everyone to perceive him right now like my dude is BRINGING Jane Austen Male Lead A-GAME. Like if you told me this was Brightās first male lead role ever, I would call you a liar because how????????
Muey and Ueang Pung are so sweet. Their scene is so tense though, I canāt believe weāre getting a GL storyline in this, itās such a pleasant surprise addition to the series. And I think it compliments well to have two different master x servant love storylines and I canāt wait to see how their story unfolds.
Ming is such a supportive best friend. Ming constantly reassures Jom that things will be alright, defends Jom from a jealous maid who said mean things to him. While the novel did not explore any supporting characters, the series is giving us an indepth look into the supporting characters to explain the ways they are and why they treat our protagonist Jom the way they do. I love how we are given a glimpse into Mingās background story so we know that he also wishes to escape Mr. Robertās household but is unable to do so because of the circumstances. Despite the hardships he face, Ming is not bitter and envious of Jomās opportunity to work in Khun Yaiās household but remains ever supportive and promising him theyāll stay friends. Jom and Ming are so cute, I shall protect them at all cost.
I love that Khun Lek kid, heās so adorable and itās really nice to have the light-hearted moments between Khun Yai, Khun Lek and Jom in between the crazy tense scenes.
The cinematography and the score remains immaculate and perfect as always. IFYLITA really proves itself to be an invested series with each and every episode. Looking forward to next weekās episode already
