This ended up being way better than I expected. A lot of the reviews had me prepared for a major disappointment but this was quite an enjoyable watch.
Acting:
Our boys did a pretty damn good job with this series. Boss put on a good performance in every version of Cir that he played and Noeul played Phu well too. Supporting cast were also pretty solid. The mom was a bit meh but that was probably due to the writing/story and not the actress, necessarily.
Writing:
Way better than I had expected overall. I really enjoyed this story with the exception of the whole mom plot which was pretty poorly done and didn’t really make sense. There were definitely some cringe moments in here, but I can live with a couple of those. I really enjoyed the whole main plot, though with the parallel worlds and whatnot. I do think that there were a couple things that had me scratching my head. Like, why didn’t Cir just explain everything to Phu earlier? And why did Phu dream of the other world in episode 1 as well? The whole switching “properties” thing was so dumb and unrealistic. Like, what in the world was that? If you’re gonna have an evil mom I need her to either get her just deserts or change for the better in the end, not whatever this was…
Chemsitry/Romance/Kissing:
Boss and Noeul got MAD chemistry. Just so damn good all around. This for sure works well as a romance. The kissing was really well done throughout the series. They didn’t starve us for affection between the main couple which I greatly appreciate in a romance.
NC Scenes:
HOHOHOHOHOLY GOOD GOD MY BOYS. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, these two outshine porn stars fr. Good lord… I thought that Love in the Air was wild, these guys said hold my mf beer and stepped it the fuck UPPP. 1000000000/10 so sensual and passionate, my jaw was on the FLOOR and I was BLUSHINGGG as a grown ass adult. The scenes also shaped the mood of the story in regards to their relationship pretty well. I also thought they were written, directed/shot, and edited so well. Just damn good work out there, everyone.
Production/Cinematography:
Love love loved the lighting decisions in this show. The warm v cold added a lot to some of the shots. I also liked the change in filter for the different worlds we were being shown. Production was awesome all around.
Music/SFX:
Music was alright. I’m not really one for songs with lyrics in serious scenes, though. SFX were pretty solid throughout.
This was honestly such a good watch even with its flaws. Partially due to Boss and Noeul doing such a good job, but also the plot had me too for the most part. Although I want them to do whatever their hearts desire in their careers and lives, I also selfishly want 50 more series featuring Boss and Noeul together on screen forever and ever and ever.
Now, for some highlights from my notes:
- Oooh a solid intro love to see it
- Stonks
- Oooh that blue v orange lighting that warm v cold that shit is good I like that
- Rainy weather x BossNoeul otp lmao
- The whole illeism thing in Thai language has my heart it’s so cute
- I’m usually annoyed by an innocent cutesy character but Phu is real cute
- Like, I see people complaining about him having stuffed animals/figures and being whiny but like same so whatever plus he’s supposed to be like 19-20 so calm down
- ONCE AGAIN I would love to hear the boundaries convo between BossNoeul and the intimacy coordinator bc HOLY SHIT BRO they are WILD 10000/10

- Post-nut devastation is new
- I can taste the CTE coming from this Cir fella
- Sooooooo there ARE mutiple Cirs..? But like…?
- Hit bro with a car again ig?
- *You would find me at the beach in every life, through every door* *If I could hold you for a minute, I'd go through it again. I would still be surprised I could find you, darlin', in any life. If I could hold you for a minute, I would do it again. I would not change it each time. Heaven is not fit to house a love like you and I* *I would die a thousand times just to see you in another life* *If you rewrite your life, may I still play a part? In the next one, will you find me? I'll be the boy with the pink carnation pinned to my lapel. Who looks like hell and asks for help. And if you do, I'll know it's you*
- This shit isn’t bad why are people hating so much I’m liking the premise more than I expected
- Boss half-updo makes its return
- TEEE A BADDIEEEE FR
- My baby always got hyper-specific playlist at the ready for every mood and situation 10/10
- Boy always remembers them STONKS in every life LMAOOO
- I mean like he didn’t ENTIRELY lie
- Ya’ll are both people what are we talking about
- I wanted to see this woman’s world burn down around her
