I found subtitles, seemingly not machine translated. But I haven't watched the movie yet, so I can't say for sure. Maybe those are even the same. But big thanks for replying!

Probably my favorite H'our mini-drama so far. It's cute and funny. The acting is a bit shaky and the production isn't very good, but it's a mini Youtube drama, so I'm not complaining about that. The two main actresses also have a ton more chemistry than H'our's other pair that's in Hidden Heat and the Cat drama. The absence of this dull, washed-out filter that's in every H'our drama (except Reset to Remember, the main pairings other series) is also very much appreciated.

To sum it up (in my opinion of course): Affair is a solid 7.5 to 8 until the next to last episode, then it goes downhill fast because it gets really stupid (in my head I gave the last two episodes a reeeaaaal generous 4). But the chemistry is off the charts and it's the GL with the most realistic "romantic scenes".

I'm sorry to say this, but those two have no romantic chemistry whatsoever. It was halfway decent in their last drama because they were colleagues, but this one is more like "the 18 year old neighbors kid likes the cool 30 year old woman next door" story with the middle schooler bothers the sister's best friend from college vibe. Their acting is kind of watching a college or even high school production and this filter H'our always uses, that makes everything look dull, washed-out and in 480p, doesn't help the cause. Even though it's also not that great, their other mini series that aired at the same time (Reset to Remember) is lengths better in chemistry, acting and video quality.

It's available for free on Youtube, with English subs, on the KONEONEDEE channel.

Maybe I should just read the books. Usually I always read the source material if I find a drama or movie interesting but have the suspicion that there's a lot left out in the script. If it's a Yuri anime I usually don't even bother anymore and just read the manga after the Yagate Kimi ni Naru (Bloom into You) desaster 10 years ago.
Do you know how many books Zezho wrote for this universe? I think I read somewhere that Karan's sister also gets a drama or that the rights for her story were at least bought, so maybe I should start reading before this one gets filmed.
Again, thanks for indulging me, I'm new to Thai dramas/stories in general and usually only dabble in Japanese media, which is a completely different world, from production to fan interaction and communities.

Thanks for the detailed explanation! I agree, it's a shame they didn't explain anything in the drama. They even had the chance, but just left it at "you can't do it when you bleed and you lose part of your lifespan", without explaining it further. But it's kind of expected that the cost of Karan's powers is much steeper because of how much more powerful she is.
I was a bit disappointed they completely left out Vivi and never even mentioned her once because she was kind of my favorite character how she was depicted in the R4U drama.
What I meant with "they were a lot different" was more about their personalities (which is partly expected because people change) and professions, but I noticed while writing this here that people who only know the drama (like me) don't even know what Jattawa ended up doing after her law studies because it was a different timeline from the one when she worked as prosecutioner. I didn't even know who was who of those two in Reverse With Me, but maybe I just missed it when they introduced themselves to Kliao. I also liked that they never showed Wa's and Four's faces when they were younger, kind of kept the immersion going.
Only put it in spoiler because of the length of my comment.

I don't know if this was supposed to be artsy, but I found it very confusing how much time went by between scenes. At first I thought they were jumping back and forth between high school and the present, because after it starts at high school we get a one year skip and they then simply ignore each other in the next scene and then out of nowhere go home together and make out, so I thought it was a flashback to high school when they explored their feelings. No indications how or when they got together or why one ignored the other in the beginning, nothing. And then the movie skips so much time between scenes it makes it seem like a diashow at a wedding with random photos throughout their relationship and no time indicators when those photos were taken. But I liked the realistic problems they faced, that they made it about a "relationship" and not a "lesbian relationship" and the open end. 6/10

Overall I enjoyed it, but it was kind of lackluster at times. I don't know why they had to have the same flashbacks a few times every episode, kind of reminded me of the KDrama Extraordinary You, which kind of pissed me off in that one, too. The romance was pretty underdeveloped and super inconsistent at times. They had chemistry together (and were super fun in the Behind the Scenes), but it's like the director/screenwriter didn't care one bit about their romance and instead used the time for another flashback or two. I also don't know why they included the "second couple" (they took away 5 minutes of the last episode for example). Kliao's friend was nice and her having a crush was kinda cute in the first few eps, but later on I really couldn't care less about either of them because they were just bland underdeveloped characters. Like a lot of other commenters, I enjoyed Reverse 4 You a lot more, even if it was way too short. I gave it a 7.5 nonetheless because I liked the story overall, the production was nice to look at, it didn't feel too short or too long and the chemistry and acting was good.

Question(s) for the people who read the novel... or in general people who can answer: I thought Karan was the daughter of the Reverse 4 You pair? But the mothers are completely different from R4U and where was Jattawa's sister? For the fact that they made a big deal out of "always staying together" she was never even mentioned once. It's like this is a completely different timeline (like the one the story is set in before the big reset in R4U) or the R4U pair are the aunts/grandparents of Karan. The time powers were pretty different as well. While in R4U the time Jattawa loses was proportional to how much she rewinds (if I understood it correctly), here it cost "10 years" of Karan's life for rewinding a few months? Is it just a different condition and disproportionate because Karan is way more powerful than Jattawa or did she need a few tries to get it right? Or is it kind of tied to what you do with it, like if you save one persons life once, X years will be deducted? If the novels are the same I'd probably lose my mind if I'd read them with those apparent inconsistencies. There's other stuff about the powers that doesn't make sense to me, but those were probably included for story and dramatic purposes.

Thanks! Going to watch it again later and will try to focus. With a bit of an "introduction" it's usually way easier to distignuish who's who, at least for me.

Probably because he's a popular Idol (I assume)... and popularity sells way more than talent in Japan.

I think the problem I have when it comes to Koreans is that a lot of them wear very similar makeup and hair style, especially the women. Mostly red or dark pink lipstick, pale looking makeup and sleak long black hair with parted bangs. When there's a "popular list" on the right side of MDL with Korean actresses I always think they all have exactly the same style and look very similar because of it. I come from everything Japanese (music, drama, anime), so those actors/actresses are always easiest for me to recognize, even more so than a lot from the US. But never had a problem with Thais either, until now ;)

Thanks, that acutally helps. But isn't there a third one who gets together or at least pursues Prem in the pilot? Is that the manager or someone completely different? Or did I just see something completely wrong?

I tell myself I'm pretty good at distinguishing faces, even if I can't remember names for the life of me and except when it comes to Koreans (don't know why)... but I was completely lost who is who aswell and not even a hint of why it's so messy.

I thought I was the only one. Most confusing trailer/pilot I've maybe ever seen. No idea what this is about at this point or who is supposed with whom. Only thing I took from it was that it's gonna be messy and toxic (not saying this has to be a bad thing).

Seems like Maxlive TV got hit by Youtube because of "overtly sexual content". Every episode seems
to have been demonetized. That's why they completely censored every kiss in every episode, there's no new content except for live streams, membership is paused and it seems Season 2 is on hold (at least the release) until this is resolved. Really don't know what the problem ist, there are way more explicit dramas on Youtube, same-sex and straight.

So, is there a need for an "Uncut" MDL page? I've seen it a few times now, but do people just rate this version and not the "normal" one or both if they've seen it on iQiyi? Seems like the only thing this page will do is skew the numbers. Wouldn't it be better/easier to rate/identify the rating if it'd be just written in the description that there's an uncut version?

Livejournal is a community webseite, like tumblr.

My guess is because there are no young actresses with "a name" that are/were willing to play the lead roles in a tv drama that's marketed around main characters with LGBTQ implications in Korea. Let's face it, their LGBTQ representation in media is the worst of any country with "western views", so it's most certainly a big risk for every actress to play such a role. But I think they needed someone who's name can pull the drama into focus and Lee Hye Ri was probably the "biggest name" that wasn't afraid to take the role.

Thanks. Wonder why it's tagged as "youth", they're in their mid-20s afterall. But they're young at heart, I guess ;).

Depends, but it could be every kind of romance when it's a big focus of the story. I tend to get pretty annoyed at the characters a lof ot the time because of the power dynamics in the relationships (regardless of who's the "dominant" one) and some of the irrational decisions they make because of it. GLs are okay because of the lack of it in most if that's why you asked, but there are also some with the same kind of gap than in heterosexual ones and those aren't really my cup of tea either. So if it's a romance in which both parties are on the same level in at least most regards, then I don't mind the romance and what kind it is. For example, Yugure ni, Te wo Tsunagu (Hold My Hand at Twilight?) is a romance I like and stuff like Itazura no Kiss is something I can't stand for the life of me (sry to go with JDrama examples only, it's the stuff I usually watch).

FYI, I posted it in spoilers to not spam the comment section.
