a solid lakorn (watch suggestions)
Overall: excellent chemistry in a lakorn (aka soap opera like) plot. 12 /13 episodes about 45 minutes each. Aired on GagaOOLala (not available in Southeast Asia, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, Korea) https://www.gagaoolala.com/en/videos/5743/love-in-the-moonlight-2025-e01 and YouTube (not available in Thailand or Cambodia, either delayed or no subs) https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXopbKxiivxre4Y0Zn0JgZmgXiUYjpOLU
Content Warnings: off screen murders, on screen murders, attempted murder, kidnapping/held against will, past death & grief, homophobia, manipulation, manhandling, violence, blood, threatened suicide, non con picture taking, unwanted outing, slaps
Watch Suggestions (to focus on the m/m leads and avoid most angst/violence)
- episode 1 watch 23:40-43
- episode 2 watch 3:20-7, 18-33:20
- episode 3 watch 40:15 and 50:20-51:40
- episode 4 watch beginning-6:10, 12-22:10 and 31:10-37:50

- episode 8 watch 8:45-14:45
- episode 9 watch 23-23:35, 43:15-45:05, 48:20-50:50
- skip episodes 10 & 11
- episode 12 watch 40:40-55:50 and 1hr19min45 to the end
What I Liked
- chemistry
- opposite personalities
- the grandma and his fiancee (some may have been upset with her actions but I understood her considering the time period, her station and situation)
- styling/historic setting
- the club and club owner
- supportive friends
Room For Improvement
- the comedy sound effects didn't make things funny
- redemption arc in episode 12, he shouldn't have received a redemption arc
- unless I missed it, I wanted more for Pin's story at the end
- nonsense stuff: a character was supposedly extremely drunk and the next minute he appears sober, multiple accidental fall and catches/long stares, not grabbing something in episode 11
Spoiler for the type of ending for the m/m romance
- it is a happily ever after
