Laughs, Love, and Longing for Part 2
Fourever You was one of my anticipated Thai BLs when it was first announced last year, and it absolutely lived up to expectations. This series delivered not only entertaining storytelling but also countless laughs and heartwarming moments. Its simple, cohesive narrative was a breath of fresh air amid the trend of over-the-top, fantastical concepts dominating recent Thai BL releases.
PAIRINGS:
HillTer (Pond and Earth) stood out as a genius pairing. Ter’s easygoing demeanor, shaped by his troubled family background, contrasts beautifully with Hill’s more reserved but equally complex persona. Their chemistry felt natural, and their shared moments were both touching and impactful. However, I wished for more playful script banter between them.
JoNorth (Maxky and Bas) was the real showstopper. Their combination of cute, cringe, and sweet moments carried the series as a whole. Maxky’s portrayal of Johan, the archetypal rich snob with a hidden soft side, was exceptional. His nuanced performance brought depth to a tropey character.
Together, JoNorth balanced the story with light-hearted humor and emotional depth.
ACTORS:
Pond solidified his reputation after his supporting stint in Century of Love. His portrayal was authentic and engaging while Earth’s comedic timing and expressive delivery added a much-needed lively energy, especially when paired with Bas.
Maxky deserves special mention for his standout performance as Johan. He captured the essence of a "snob heartthrob" with believability and finesse, suggesting he could excel in more serious roles with the right project. Meanwhile, Bas complemented Maxky’s intensity with his playful quirks, though their scenes sometimes felt uneven in emotional weight.
Bas, on the other hand, brought quirky charm to his role, showcasing noticeable improvement since his earlier works like 2 Moons. While some of his line deliveries felt flat at times, his effort to embody his character is commendable.
PLOT:
The story leaned on familiar BL tropes but executed them with enough charm to remain entertaining. While the narrative didn’t demand much mental engagement, it delivered consistent laughs and feel-good moments.
The teased part 2 promises to expand on the FahPhoon and ThitDao couple, who were intriguing but underexplored in this series. Their potentially steamier storyline could bring fresh dynamics to the sequel.
One slight letdown was the lack of early setup for the new couple, particularly DaoThit, who wasn’t introduced at all. This missed opportunity left their storyline feeling disconnected, though FahPhoon’s glimpses were enough to spark curiosity.
OVERALL:
Fourever You doesn’t reinvent the wheel but excels as a fun, lighthearted watch. The actors, particularly Maxky and Bas, shone in their roles, and the chemistry between all pairings was palpable. With its teased continuation, the series has laid a solid foundation for a potential fan-favorite sequel.
For now, Wabi Sabi, we’re counting on you to bring us Part 2 soon!
