When the monk said "they are destined to be together long ago".. wowAm I the only one who finds it sexy when Khun…
Thank you for complimenting Bright on his accent playing Khun Yai. To share some interesting tidbits about Bright preparing his pronunciation as Khun Yai from their World Of Y podcast interview:
Bright says that he's usually a person who speaks really fast so to become Khun Yai, he made an effort to slow down his speech in daily life. Bright also said he made an effort to pronounce his 'r' sounds more clearly. (T/N: You will notice many Thai people today don't pronounce 'r' sounds or they just replace it with 'l' sounds (B does the latter often in his natural speech). So your observation of Khun Yai and his more pronounced "r" sound is absolutely right because it's completely intentional on Bright's part.
The way tones are executed in Thai today and in the past is slightly different. So when Bright watched the pilot they shot, he realised that he needed to make some changes to his speech as Yai who is someone who appears very sweet when he talks.
Bright attended a workshop to help with his speech because he was speaking too fast and unclearly. He would also do mouth exercises (a,e,i,o,u etc) while driving. Bright used "olden" language in his daily life to make his speech so convincing in the series. For instance, when he played games with his friends and they were streaming, he'd speak with olden language to practice.
This "olden" way of speaking still sticks with Bright up till today and he sometimes still speaks using some of the olden terms like using chan to refer to himself. Bright thought it was important for him to work on his speech because it would be really obvious if he spoke like today's generation and it would be too similar to the way Jom speaks.
There's a lot I want to say about I Feel You Linger In The Air... but so far I want to praise that it is truly the best adaptation from a BL novel I've seen in recent years... It's the way writers kept iconic dialogues, scenes while simultaneously give depth to supporting characters, authentically portray queer people and queer love in history. Like I really I appreciate that the GL storyline added in isn't just a gimmick to bait queer fans to watch the series... Maey/Peung storyline is important, integral, complimentary and parallels with Yai/Jom love story. There's much nuances to both respective queer relationships and how all of them connect with each other. I'm once again here to reiterate that IFYLITA is truly a queer series, not just another BL series.
The opening… the entire opening scene was insane… I love when Khun Yai was going IN for another kiss but Jom…
Awwww I always look forward to seeing familiar names in the comments section like you too Lexie 🥹 Very glad everyone is still hooked and waiting impatiently every week for new episode as much as I do 😭
Hi... so you probably already knew I was gonna be here... This episode... was just... so much sweetness, phenomenal acting from both Nonkul and Bright. Can I just say I'm absolutely in love with the romance between YaiJom? Every scenes we got between them is just so gentle and sweet... The fragrance of love is truly in the air for this week's episode. Down below will be some of my preliminary thoughts as I watch EP.8
Hi... so you probably already knew I was gonna be here... This episode... was just... so much sweetness, phenomenal…
The opening… the entire opening scene was insane… I love when Khun Yai was going IN for another kiss but Jom held his face back and asked that he takes his clothes off. The amount of desire you can see in Khun Yai’s eyes when Jom is taking his clothes off…. INSANITY… Bright Rapheephong is crazy good. I love how fragile Nonkul’s portrayal of Jom is, like his hand movements when kissing Khun Yai had my jaw dropping on the floor… The way Khun Yai kisses Jom hands and proceeds to eat Jom up like i screamed so loud… Bright and Nonkul are both phenomenal actors truly… They’re really Jom and Khun Yai who came straight out of the novel.
Oh we finally got that first time wormhole moment in the first episode. I love how connected everything in this series is. It never loses its original plot and everything ties together to make the series as cohesive as possible. Khun Yai hugging Jom after he saw how terrified Jom was, waking up from his nightmare… I melted… Khun Yai reassuring Jom when the entire audience know it isn’t possible for Khun Yai to be with Jom forever.
I like the transitioning of the scenes very much. We have the parallel two gay couples comforting each other on one rainy night.
We even get Peung ‘s backstory of being forced into this arranged marriage. Maey and Peung deserve so much better. Give my girls their damn happiness. But Peung is such a powerful girlie though, I love how she always stood up for herself even when she got married. It hurts me so much to see what Robert did to her. FUCK MARITAL RAPE!
But I still appreciate that Robert isn’t completely depicted as a villain. Like obviously he’s a bad person and I wish him death for hurting all my girlies but I do understand him feeling frustrated even though the fact simply is that Peung loves Maey and she could never and will never love him, leading him to resort to violence to feel dominant over his “wife”.
The bathtub scene… Khun Yai is truly the most caring man likeeeeee what do mean Yai prepared a relaxing bath for two because he saw how Jom was bothered by his nightmare. The little nose bump between the two is so cute PLEASE. I love how much respect this series has for its original novel… the most ICONIC dialogues are being incorporated EXACTLY from start to finish, even when they are not used in the same situation. Yai and Jom are so damn gentle in their own little world… I love how Khun Yai is looking at Jom like he’s a damn snack this entire episode though…. That is also exactly what novel!Yai did right after their first night together. Bright did his homework AND IT SHOWS.
The monk KNOWS. The monk definitely has to know that Jom is from the future and that YaiJom are DESTINY!
Chan being a damn spy for Khun Luang. FUCK HIM! This is not gonna end well for my loves YaiJom.
Fongkaew my dear, I love you but you’re such a bad liar. In this episode though, I’m actually rooting for Khamsaen and Fongkaew. I feel so bad when his mom shooed her off, like girlie came with GOOD intentions.
The fireflies scene was so beautifully shot. Especially the wide shots, the production team did really well in pulling a beautiful night for Yai and Jom, it’s just so gorgeous. I like how Khun Yai catches every little things Jom accidentally spills like him asking Jom if he remembers anything from his past because of Jom’s remark having seen fireflies before.
Yai and Jom’s piggyback scene is definitely MY FAVORITE scene in this episode… Khun Yai absolutely screams the boyish charm of a young adult in love for the first time. I like how Jom asked to ride on Khun Yai’s back Khun Yai … that is such an important moment because right after Jom asked Khun Yai if he understood how Jom felt every time Khun Yai pleading him to do something but it bothers Jom. LIKE OPEN COMMUNICATIONS. BUT PLAYFUL. AND FLIRTY. MY PERIOD BOYS IN LOVE. Jom remarking how sly of a boy Khun Yai is while pinching his cheeks like a little boy. I AM OBSESSED. The entire scene is so playful, flirty, cute and sweet. It is exactly as the Khun Yai and Jom of the novel we know and love.
So next week… I’m very glad to know from the preview that Jom’s fainting is just an excuse for us to get Khun Yai taking care of Jom in EP. 9 and not anything serious… But I could see everyone trying to break YaiJom next week… BRB I need to prepare my tissues and mental health because I KNOW IM NOT SURVIVING JOM CRYING.
Never in my life knew what romance was until I watched this series omg i love Yai and Jom so much 😭💗💗💗
Right! Their kiss in the rain is so romantic, so 90s hollywood romcom-like epic final kiss likeeeeeeee the tension the chemistry the lighting the colors... the romance scenes are done so well even when the entire ep isn't dedicated to romance
Is the time travel on this series very hectic? Its the only reason I'm not watching. Help!
Nope! MC time travels only once and then through out eps 1-5, he sometimes has few glimpses of himself in the present timeline (like a glitch). But no jumping back and forth, or into another person's body... Very straightforward himself waking up in 1927 time-travel. Highly encourage you to start in this series if you're looking a fresh, romantic, GOOD slowburn with very high quality production value (the historical element feels very real and detailed from props, costumes to local accents)
Whoever coming here to see wondering whether they should watch it or not just read the comments not a single bad…
Totally agree. Even I myself as a HUGE fan of the series, can acknowledge some weaknesses like platform accesibility for some viewers, sometimes the bg audio mixing is a tiny bit too loud, or flat lighting in certain scenes but these are so so so minuscule problems that the overall result is still so gooooood that these small problems can be overlooked because the entire series in itself from acting, plotting, pacing, cinematography, scoring... everything put together is just saurrrrr execellent. it's just such a hidden gem and i hope people don't miss out on it just because the first 4 eps move a bit slower than your average bl series.
If you're still debating on whether to watch IFYLITA or not, I would say just go for it. Don't go in with too much expectations though, just think of it as some kind of Western period drama like Bridgerton, Downton Abbey, Outlander, Anne With An E... A bit "slow", various non-romance subplots but I personally find the subplots intriguing and complimentary to the protagonist's journey.
like as a novel reader, i can assure you this series has encaptured PERFECTLY the essence and core narrative of…
now that everyone has seen THAT scene in ep 7, let me tell you it's 100000 times better than its counterpart novel scene where jom masturbates with himself... the way they re-contextualized, executed, edited the olive oil scene... so much more elegant and classy than what happened in the novel (and i love the novel to death btw)
i will be completely honest, i'm so absolutely in love with this series that even if they butchered the last 4…
like as a novel reader, i can assure you this series has encaptured PERFECTLY the essence and core narrative of part 1 (because it won't cover part 2) while expanded the plot to give it soooo much depth it's insaneeeeeeee
i will be completely honest, i'm so absolutely in love with this series that even if they butchered the last 4 eps (i said 4 because i already know ep 8 will be damn great with that beautiful bathtub scene) and give me sad ending, the first 8 eps are already enough for me to give it a 10/10 because IT'S THAT GOOD!
Hi! I'm back with preliminary thoughts on EP 7... Can I just say whew.... I need to take a breather after this episode because... wow there's just so much to take in... INSANITY. I love this episode so much and this might be my all-time favorite of the series because that rain kiss, the olive oil scene.... jesus fuck i think i hit climax just watching this episode...
Okay enough... onto my thought...
Oh they’re insane… using this tragic sapphic love story to start to start the homophobic dad storyline in EP. 7… i really like that they portrayed it as news as well instead of having it be fictional.
Khun Yai hugging Jom from behind with that smirk on his face… oh he is a BIG BABY. The nose scrunch Jom makes when he is hugging Khun Yai oh he is truly the cutest. I love them being happy and comfortable. NO ANGST FOR THEM.
This whole conversation between Khun Yai and Jom on the book he’s reading. Gay men reading feminist book portraying women’s struggle… khun yai is an intellectual… feminists love khun yai… i love how his first instinct is to relate to the character, wanting to choose his own love life.
OMG OUR GL STORYLINE. MY SAPPHIC GIRLIES. The chemistry is chemistry-ing. They’re so tender and I love the way Eungpung looks at Muey. I can’t believe we got our damn FIRST KISS at the same time Eungpung discovers Muey got beatings. So much hurt and comfort in this one small scene. Must protect Muey at all cost. The score broke me… it’s so sad to see all these women going through so much pain…
I think it’s mandatory to have a shirtless Khun Yai and Jom scene every episode. Bright and Nonkul have the body of a Greek god… I love how they handle this Jom scene that was also vaguely similar in the novel… In the novel it was more crude but the way the series handle this scene with so much delicacy, so much sexual energy yet so intense… I choked as the music and Jom hit climax. My god. (In the novel, Jom masturbated after being hugged by Khun Yai on a windy night, but the series has re-envisioned the scene to be so much more elegant and delicate)
Ming is the bestest friend. I love him so much, he defended Jom against that annoying Lamyai and immediately came to ask Jom about Khun Yai because he was worried for them. Ming is so ready to punch that annoying bitch Lamyai for exposing YaiJom. The conversation between Ming and Muey was so important because we had Muey convinced him that “love is love”... But I’m so sad that Ming is so heart-broken by Muey. genuinely my fave straight ghostship from this series because i love ming-muey solidarity.
I love how Jom and Yai just confronted each other directly to resolve their “conflict”. My green flag gay couple I love you both. Can the episodes be longer I need them to be with each other all the time.
The costumes and outfits for the party scene are insanely gorgeous. I am obsessed with the costume design of IFYLITA. Everyone looks so beautiful. I love how Jom comments on Khun Yai is such a child sometimes (because YAI REALLY IS BIG BABY).
The lighting…. The color grading… I love how when Khun Yai is dancing with Bussabong, they’re dancing in broad light but Khun Yai only has eyes for Jom, who’s hurt while staring back at him. The angst from looking at the eyes of your secret lover while dancing with someone you’re not into.
It’s so beautiful, every frame, every shot of Khun Yai dancing with Jom, who was mad but slowly begun to form a smile on his face. In their imagination, when Yai and Jom are dancing together, the lighting is dark, dim-litted like there’s only them left in the world, implicating Yai and Jom can only be “dancing in the dark”’ in secret, even though in their imagination their family would cheer and be happy for them. The OST for their dance scene was beautiful too.
But why are they giving me Nonkul rapper all of a sudden? I’m laughing so hard pleaseeeee
Whoever did the lighting for this kiss under the rain scene, I sincerely hope your pillow is warm every night. That one silent beat before they started kissing passionately underthe rain. I AM OBSESSED. BEST KISS SCENE OF 2023 FOR SURE. I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR AN EPIC KISS SCENE IN A LONG TIME AND IFYLITA JUST FUCKING DELIVERS! THE LIGHTING, THE CINEMATOGRAPHY, THE COLOR GRADING, THE SCORING, THE INSANE CHEMISTRY...
