A Storm of Misunderstandings
I actually liked the concept of La Pluie, but the show is full of misunderstandings, unlikable characters, and too many flashbacks. Without the soulmate element—where they can talk to each other whenever it rains even if they’re apart—the series would feel more grounded. It does show the complexity of a relationship between two people, and I appreciated that part.
I genuinely enjoyed the first half, but it went downhill afterwards. Usually, I can tolerate unlikable characters if they show growth, but here it felt like Phat was the only one truly invested. He seemed head over heels for Tai, and it came off as a bit unfair.
Characters
Beau:
I’m not a fan of Beau’s character—her behavior is over the top. It’s not the actress’s fault; it’s how the character was written or directed. Why do Thai filmmakers always create supporting characters like this? It’s not funny; it’s just annoying. They should take notes from Japanese or Korean BLs, where supporting characters are usually more grounded.
Lomfon:
For me, Lomfon is also unlikable. He interferes with Phat and Tai’s relationship because he’s interested in Tai and doesn't believe in the soulmate concept. But the moment he discovers he has the same condition, he immediately grabs the chance to tell Tai and tries to pursue him. Even if Phat and Tai weren't soulmates, the connection between them was already clear from their first encounter—before they even knew the truth.
Also, he stopped Jan from finding his brother (Tai) at the camp. That part made me think he either has no siblings or just doesn’t care about them the same way.
Tai:
At first, I liked Tai as a character, but his development went backwards. I couldn’t stand him in episodes 9 and 10 because he lied to Phat. There’s no excuse for that. No matter the reason, a lie is still a lie. After what he did, he still had the nerve to break up with Phat and Phat even ended up begging. It felt so unfair to Phat.
He also knew that Phat was jealous of Lomfon, yet he still kept seeing him. If you truly love someone and you know your partner is jealous or uncomfortable, you should avoid that person—yet Tai didn’t. For me, the closure already happened during their confrontation that night. If he really wanted to reconcile with Phat, he shouldn't have continued entertaining Lomfon at all.
Phat:
I didn’t like that he resorted to violence because it only escalated the situation. He could’ve talked things out calmly with Tai and Lomfon. But I also understand that he was going through a lot emotionally.
The only character I genuinely liked was Tai’s brother—he really stood out throughout the show.
Tai’s family issues were also overwhelming, and the constant flashbacks made it even heavier. For me, they were more of a distraction than a benefit.
Ending
The ending wasn’t what I wanted. I would’ve preferred that Phat didn’t get back together with Tai and instead found someone honest, selfless, and truly loving. It’s been two years since their breakup, yet they reconciled that quickly? It just didn’t feel convincing.
Overall
Overall, the series is okay. It has cute moments, but nothing groundbreaking. What I genuinely liked were the strong performances, great chemistry, beautiful soundtrack, and its production value.
