I love Studio Wabi Sabi for productions like this. Wonderful first episode that makes me excited for the rest of the show. The mood is very similar to UWMA, which I loved because it was one of the first BL series I watched as it premiered, and which made me become addicted to this genre. It is great that once again they celebrate "Love of Siam", the mother of all Thai BLs.
I enjoyed this series. It's nothing sensational, but a well written story without too much artificial drama. The acting is good, and the food looks delicious (don't watch when hungry!). I wish I had studied in Korea, so I could have attended some of those "love classes".
You wrote the review I would have written. Both male leads knew how to act with their eyes. This is a change of…
Thank you. If you're interested, you can find all my reviews (also about series and movies from Asian countries not covered by mydramalist) here: https://www.wattpad.com/user/DominicKebre
There have been some iconic kissing scenes in BL series, e.g. the rooftop scene in "Bad Buddy", the rain scene in "Love Mechanics", and now there's the earthquake scene in "Love in Translation". Gorgeous!
I endured this nonsense till episode 5 because I love Long Lee and Frank, but episode 5 was even worse than the previous ones, so I finally dropped it.
I loved this story. A beautiful chamber play, realistic plot, just the right pace, and a lead couple with an amazing chemistry. I already loved Milk in "War of Y", and after this I hope to see more of him, hopefully with Junior. They both don't come across as rookies.
Offroad is an amazing actor. I already loved him in "Our Days", where he played a role completely different than Phumjai. In this series, he can show a much broader scale of his acting skills, and the chemístry with Daou puts these two on the same level as the best Thai BL couples.
Unfortunately the original short film isn't available online at the moment. I'll ask Rex is he can upload it again. For the time being, there's only this reaction video by John Rudolf TV : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hCVQKE7lKEo&t=4295s
This is the first story in this series that I really like. It comes across like a well written chamber play. There's no artificial or unnecessary drama, but a realistic story. The acting is on point, and I'm happy to see Milk again - he was one of my favourites in "War of Y".
I started watching this series as a big fan of Mark Siwat, but episode 1 already captivated me. The story is heartwarming, teaching lessons about life without preaching. There's a wonderful blend of funny and contemplative moments , and all the actors are amazing. It's great to see Mark, Plan, and Prom excel beyond BL, and Rudklao dancing in her Adidas sweatpants was really something! I sincerely hope that there'll be an announcement saying "Return to Homestay coming soon" - maybe with the boys meeting Grandma's ghost?
Roughly speaking, a "lakorn" is kind of a Thai telenovela, often dealing with Thai history, legends, or mystery stories. In contrast to most BL series, "Linger" and the other two I mentioned do without the typical BL tropes and settings, although of course the lead couple are gay men.
Recently, the best Thai BL series weren't really BL, but Lakorns with a gay couple - "To Sir, with Love", "Laws of Attraction", and "I Feel You Linger in the Air". Good scripts, good directing and overall production quality, and actors who know how to act. Nonkul and Bright are both as fantastic as Film and Jam.
