a tale of two very different love stories
This is an adaptation from 2 novels, Love Storm and Love Sky. This introduces a whole new MAME universe.The acting in this was really good from both pairs although I tending towards the first story as opposed to the second. This is a MAME adaptation so for those of you who know her other works will know that there are elements that are highly problematic.
That being said the first story is well told with elements of humour. The second story is darker and there are a number of tropes that are disturbing or triggering. These weren't well written
At times the OST was over powering with how loud it is and the constant changes. However there are a couple of gems.
I would give Love Storm a strong 9.5 but Love Sky a 6.5 hence an overall of 8. Treat them as two separate stories instead of one story and you should get through some of the heavy subjects in the second story.

Здесь важно все от прошлого до настоящего
Сколько раз я посмотрела этот лакорн, я уже точно не скажу. Но истории главных героев некоторых мне очень близки. От этого мне было фокусироваться на моментах порой тяжелее и ставила на стоп. Хотя сам сюжет прост: легенда факультета соблазняет милого и активного новичка (мы это видели уже и не раз), богатый парень преследует дерзкого, но обычного парня. И кажется, что тут две истории которые связаны только два друга и два друга, и оп такой дружеский квартет. Тут гораздо больше. ; разные жизни, две абсолютно разные истории с разным прошлым. Вторая история мне знакома, поэтому воспринимала остро многие моменты. Ну и как таким стал Паю (Босс) и почему - мне тоже знакомо и близко. История два - ох, когда кто-то потерял доверие к миру, людям и нет поддержки даже от близких, или они очень далеко. И ты вроде готов найти и довериться, но даже вроде теплые посылы ты уже воспринимаешь в штыки и готов просто слать доброжелателя дальше и оставаться в полном одиночестве. Решиться снова любить - это вообще на грани трагедии, когда просто убиваешь всеми возможными способами это чувство. И правильно было сказано, что дело не в кексе, дело в душе израненной и растоптанной. Актерский состав потрясающий и если учесть, что только двое имели маленький, но опыт актерского дебюта, то двое абсолютные новички. Играли потрясающе. Между ними столько шуток (я умирала и тысячу раз перематывала как камере незаметно как актер просто ржал над своей репликой), столько химии и реально дружеского взаимодействия. Спасибо кто делал кастинг, подобрали актеров потрясающе, отсюда образы были очень убедительны и честны на экране. Ребята так подняли банальный сюжет, что верю и дальше у них будет отличное будущее актерской игры. Очень понравились дополнительные детали в виде прослушивания радио о прогнозе погоды. Мне очень нравятся произведения Мэй, но заметила, что есть у нее одна проблема: она очень любит во все свои произведения травмы прошлого и делать на них мощный акцент (хотя в "Истории Тарна и Тайпа" она сделала это меньше), здесь прошлое прям как основной акцент, думаю лишнее. Я конечно рекомендую посмотреть этот лакорн, но прежде чем смотреть, задайте себе вопрос, что вы хотите - если эросцены - да они тут аппетитные и это как вишенка на торте, но если вы не хотите понять суть, понять жизнь и проблемы героев, то тогда не стоит. Сразу перематывайте на эросцены или уже другие сайты вам в помощь. Помимо красоты актеров, сцен, природы - тут есть жизнь и есть сюжет, именно для этого снимаются фильмы и сериалы, чтобы вы смотрели сюжет. Кто меня понял - приятного просмотра. Кто нет - мотайте и смотрите, только не надо потом писать , выставляя себя "великим критиком и богом актерского таланта".How many times I've watched this lacorn, I won't say for sure. But the stories of some of the main characters are very close to me. Because of this, it was sometimes harder for me to focus on the moments and put on the stop. Although the plot itself is simple: the legend of the faculty seduces a cute and active newcomer (we have seen this more than once), a rich guy pursues a daring, but ordinary guy. And it seems that there are two stories that are connected only by two friends and two friends, and op is such a friendly quartet. There's a lot more here. ; different lives, two completely different stories with different pasts. The second story is familiar to me, so I was acutely aware of many moments. Well, how did Pau (Boss) become like this and why - I am also familiar and close. Story two - oh, when someone has lost trust in the world, people and there is no support even from loved ones, or they are very far away. And you seem ready to find and trust, but even like warm messages you already perceive with hostility and are ready to just send a well-wisher on and stay completely alone. To decide to love again is generally on the verge of tragedy, when you simply kill this feeling in all possible ways. And it was correctly said that it's not about the cupcake, it's about the wounded and trampled soul. The cast is amazing and if you consider that only two had a small, but experience of acting debut, then two are absolute beginners. They played amazing. There are so many jokes between them (I was dying and rewound a thousand times as the camera imperceptibly as the actor just laughed at his remark), so much chemistry and really friendly interaction. Thanks to those who did the casting, they picked up the actors amazingly, hence the images were very convincing and honest on the screen. The guys raised the banal plot so much that I believe they will continue to have a great future of acting. I really liked the additional details in the form of listening to the radio about the weather forecast. I really like May's works, but I noticed that she has one problem: she really likes to include the traumas of the past in all her works and put a strong emphasis on them (although in the "History of Tarn and Typa" she did it less), here the past is just like the main emphasis, I think it is superfluous. Of course, I recommend watching this lacorn, but before you watch, ask yourself what you want - if the eroscene - yes, they are delicious here and it's like the cherry on the cake, but if you don't want to understand the essence, understand the life and problems of the heroes, then it's not worth it. Immediately rewind to the eroscene or other sites to help you. In addition to the beauty of the actors, scenes, nature - there is life and there is a plot, that's why films and TV series are shot so that you watch the plot. Who understood me - enjoy watching. Who is not - shake and look, just don't write later, exposing yourself as a "great critic and god of acting talent."

Story could’ve been better
I’ll keep this short. The story between Paiyu and Rain could’ve been lest dragged out, could have been better if they mixed Prai and Sky’s stories instead of making it into basically two parts. I know Prai and Sky’s story was more intense, but they would have balanced each other out well in my opinion. I enjoyed Prai and Sky’s story more then Paiyu and Rain I do like that both couples got almost the same amount of screen time (almost) you don’t see that often in multiple couple BLs. It’s definitely worth a watch even though Rain and Paiyu story sometimes left me bored or annoyed because it dragged on for to long.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

I never knew it'll be this beautiful when Storm meet Rain
I felt like I should have stopped it after EP : 8 after completing the whole drama coz I was waiting for Payu and Rain to pop up in the end but in vain. Their story was more natural and I just loved their chemistry esp Boss just slayed in the first half , I loved it. I don't why they separated both the story into two half , they could have done it in a simultaneous manner coz for me it was so good at the beginning and it was a total slump after that. It is like watching two dramas in the name of oneMy rating is 8.5 and that's totally for Payu and rain....
Except for Fort's acting and his charm (he has done his job perfectly) nothing was good in the second half. Sky's acting could have improved and the story was a total mess, but many liked it, i respect their choice but for me , the bossy Payu and cute Ran's story was awesome and i enjoyed every lil things during their time together.
How can Boss deliver the emotions to the point woah, I'm in awe seriosly and I got goosebumps in many of the scene, i loved his character the most. He's damn handsome . Perfect just Perfect
Anyway i'm gonna rewatch the first half again..

Two for the price of one
When this show came on my radar, I was just excited for the racing component. Granted, that ended up really not being a heavy part of the storyline, it was still an enjoyable element.Each of the couples have episodes dedicated to them, and to be perfectly honest, I struggled at first with Rain. He struck me as an annoying younger brother. For a lot of it I felt an urge to smack my forehead, but he started to grow on me after a few episodes, so I was glad I stuck it out. There were components until the last portion of their story where I also really appreciated that the "drama" felt like authentic things (related to education, for example) as opposed to something over-the-top. Of course, we ended up getting something like that, but I almost pretend that part didn't exist and just had the wholesome story. Well, wholesome to an extent. The praise kink was next level for Rain/Payu. Whew.
Sky made the show for me. I thoroughly enjoyed his banter and armor. There is always a character with some layers of trauma, and while it again felt over-the-top because this is a drama, I appreciated that they didn't just shove it entirely to the side. Could it have been handled better? Sure, but compared to how I've seen things handled in dramas, it was not bad. Prapai was a wonderful partner and the way he provided reassurance was, imho, very healthy and loving.
The intimacy in the series was top notch. Each couple felt believable in their connections with each other (simple intimacy and otherwise).
I think my biggest gripe is how it ended. It felt incredibly rushed and like an oreo where they forgot the stuffing. I'm hoping the special episode makes up for the rush job, but regardless it was a lot of fun.

I have rewatched this for 3 times a day
So I have been rewatching this three times a day, BossNeoul and FortPeat's acting is soo good. I like it so much. They did have bad things and good things happens in the storyline and I enjoy watching it repeatly, it doesn't get bored!They're only 13 episodes. the cast is handsome and cute, their OST is very nice ( you can listen to it)
If you like to watch BL dramas that was about school and work you can watch this. You will like it very much.
Other than that, you can also realise that the cast are also very close in real life so you can still ship them eventhough not in the series :).

amazing BL drama
This is by far my favourite BL series I have watched. While watching this I went through a turmoil of emotions, I felt like I was on a rollercoaster but it was definitely worth it. I loved the character development on all 4 of the main leads. To top it off both couples had 6 episodes for themselves which made it more enjoyable; seeing that I was able to see the growth of their relationships beginning to end without being confused or lost. I loved this so much that I could honestly re-watch this series right now even though I just finished it about 10 minutes ago or so. I'm shocked at how many bad reviews there are on this series. some saying that they felt that the intimacy was fake or off but I feel the opposite; I felt like they were truly in love, whether it be with actions or words. Many have said that they would compare this to KINNPORSCHE which I could see where they got this idea from however this is a "calmer" version of it. I would say if you are hesitant on watching this because of a few bad reviews, just watch it. Everyones opinion will be different so just create your own after you watch it.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

we know y'all here for the sex and the blazing hot kisses
Came in with zero expectations but left with one of the couples being my favourite BL couple ever.Hopped in on this drama not knowing anything, i was intrigued by Phayu cause he looked straight out of a Manga and the opening scene really caught me so i kept watching!
ngl, i deadass was about to drop the drama on the Payu-Rain segment segment cause i was getting impatient and it was soooo much cringe. Noeul-Boss I love you but sorry Rain-Payu didn't do it for me. I didnt know the drama is awkwardly divided into 2 sub-dramas so i kept impatiently waiting and wondering why is the other couple who is also in the poster not even interacting or showing any development so i was losing my mind.
Only when EP 8 started i got the hang of it that the other couple Prapai-Sky have a whole segment to them! It is one of the most naturally beautiful portrayals of Romance i've ever seen and one of my favourite tropes too. Prapai being a charming flirt and sky being in denial of his feelings, the steamy kisses and the whole intimacy portrayal made me feel legit butterflies watching this. Yes the plot was a little too much but their chemistry was off the charts and god-fucking amazing i felt the sexual tension 100/10, and these two legit won my heart. Honestly ive not liked a single BL since i watched this because this is what i was craving for- a mature, un-cringe, sexy plot with insane chemistry and FortPeat nailed it
The soundtrack for this series is god-fucking-amazing. My Strongest Love by Boss-Noeul is my favourite OST ever!
Also PLEASE WATCH THE SPECIAL EP ITS DEADASS A WHOLE-ASS FANFIC BROUGHT TO LIFE. Long story short, its plain damn delicious i couldnt have asked for a better outro
I'll recommend this drama to people but id say watch the Prapai-Sky Segment before Payu-Rain.

Relatively Angst Free Love Story
**Brief Synopsis**B (Student): Rain and Sky
T (Owner): Payu and Pai
- Beginning (Story 1 Episode 1-7): Payu and Rain. B is a student and when his car breaks down in the rain, he meets T who is an autoshop owner. T is older and likes to tease B, annoying the latter to no end. Deciding to get revenge, B tells T that he was going to make him fall in love with him within the month.
- Middle (Story 1 Episode 1-7): In order to make him fall in love, B starts spending more and more time with T and realizes that he has many good qualities.
- End (Story 1 Episode 1-7): At the end, B realizes that he had fallen for T and confesses. The story ends with them happily dating.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors playing B and T. Their chemistry was amazing and their interactions were cute and sweet. They also do a great job in portraying the affection between the characters.
- I really like the foreplay/flirting. B's reactions are very cute as well, trying to not to show just how attracted he really is.
- The characters are very likeable despite each having their own flaws.
- The writing is okay. The story flows well despite the plot being very weak as all the attention is put on the development of their relationship.
- I really like the intimate scenes as they are the realest I have seen in BL as of yet. The actors did a great job portraying the lust and affection in the air.
- I really like the enemies to lovers trope. Sure this plot falls in to the usual formula for such TV shows and is very predictable, it is still very nice to watch.
- I like how B at the end of the show is more confident both in life and in sex.
- I like how fast the pace is, meaning it has little time for useless and cliche conflict. There aren't relationship breaking angst. It is quite fluffy overall.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Acting is okay most of the time but sometimes it can get a little bit exagerated, such as times when the characters speaks to themselves, which can seem a little unatural. In addition, reactions can get a little fake as well.
- Plot as a whole is ok but there aren’t any plot twists or memorable moments.
**Conclusion**
An OK watch but probably won’t be revisiting as a whole but will be revisiting specific scenes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
**Brief Synopsis**
- Beginning (Story 2 Episode 8-13): Sky and Prapai. B is the previous story's B's friend and roommate. He is extremely defensive regarding relationships because he has severe emotional trauma from a past abusive boyfriend. T is an executive at a big company and meets B at the racetrack. B trespassed and T finds him, telling him if he wants to leave, he'll have to sleep with him. How non con this part is is uncertain because I feel T would have let him go if he refused passionately as the offer looked more like flirting then a threat. No matter the reason, B seems a little upset after sleeping with him but doesn't look traumatized at all. T on the other hand really likes B and would like to extend their relationship, something B is not willing to do.
- Middle (Story 2 Episode 8-13): T starts pursuing B by sending him gifts, flowers, appearing in his vicinity and trying to get B to spend time with him. As they spend more time together, B's attitude changes. He starts smiling more genuinly around T and is genuinly grateful and touched when T takes leave from work to take care of him while he was sick. Their relationship develops rather smoothly despite B's insecurities until T brings B to a party and B realizes just how different he is actually from T's other friends and freaks out. It is revealed that B's ex boyfriend also forced him to do things he wasn't comfortable with and when he resisted, the guy found him boring, called him names and dumped him. Even if by that time, B was in love with T, he's afraid T will dump him after he gets bored so decides to dump him first. T doesn't give up and goes to B's apartment looking for answers. He sees B's diary confessing love for him. B comes back and T confronts him. B confesses just what had been going on in his head and apologizes. T forgives him.
- End (Story 2 Episode 8-13): At the end, they reconcile and spend some very happy times together. In my opinion, the story could have ended here because episode 13 doesn't add much except to make B experience his trauma again. B is found and assaulted by his ex. He is saved of course, but is once again reminded of his trauma. T stays with him and consoles him. The story ends with them being sappy and in love.
**My Opinion**
WHAT I LIKED ABOUT IT:
- The actors playing B and T. Their chemistry was amazing and their interactions were cute and sweet. They also do a great job in portraying the affection between the characters.
- I really like the foreplay/flirting. I like seeing B's change over time. I also like seeing T becoming more mature in order to take care of B.
- The characters are very likeable despite each having their own flaws.
- The writing is okay. The story flows well despite the plot being very weak as all the attention is put on the development of their relationship.
- I really like the intimate scenes as they are the realest I have seen in BL as of yet. The actors did a great job portraying the lust and affection in the air.
- I like how fast the pace is, meaning it has little time for useless and cliche conflict. There aren't relationship breaking angst. It is quite fluffy overall (other then the angst when B breaks up with T but I feel this is necessary to force B to confront his trauma, overcome it so he can be happy with T).
- I like the concept (霸道总裁爱上我) and although it is cliche and predictable, I liked how T pursues B. The scenes where T consoles B in his time of need are very heartwarming and make you understand just how much T actually cares of B.
- I really like how the actors look together. They are very good looking.
WHAT I DIDN’T LIKE ABOUT IT:
- Acting is okay most of the time but sometimes it can get a little bit exagerated, such as times when the characters speaks to themselves, which can seem a little unatural. In addition, reactions can get a little fake as well.
- Plot as a whole is ok but there aren’t any plot twists or memorable moments. The plot mainly revolves around their relationship so if you are looking for more, the plot is really weak.
- I really didn't like the 13th episode. I feel it wasn't needed and doesn't serve other purpose then adding a rather triggering scene. I pretend that the show ends in episode 12 after they have reconciled.
**Conclusion**
An OK watch but probably won’t be revisiting as a whole but will be revisiting specific scenes.

Just wholesome (and spicy) fluff
This was my first Thai BL show, and I'm absolutely glad for it. The plot itself had a few small setbacks for me, but nothing major, and to be honest it made the show feel a little less realistic but not in a negative way - for me the slight overdramatics in certain parts made it all the more wonderful to watch. The actors were absolutely amazing, especially considering that for most of them this was their first big break. I can keep rewatching it over and over again, and I only wish that we had even more content from this universe.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

Mame Anti-fans Need To Skip This
If you're a fan of TharnType or Love by Chance and enjoy bashing Mame as a fictional writer, honestly, please get some help because it just seems hypocritical. And if you're an anti-fan of Mame, then simply don't watch any of her series. No one is forcing you to watch any her work. Stop treating her as if she’s a criminal who commits these acts. She’s not the first fictional write of this type of literature nor will she be the last. Get over your savior complex.
This series is a blend of gay drama and BL, telling two intertwined stories. Payu and Prapai are friends who share a passion for motorcycle drag racing, while Rain and Sky are architecture students at the same school. Payu becomes Rain's senior mentor, and Prapai saves Sky from a troubling incident involving illegal drag racing. What makes this a BL is that Rain was initially interested in Ple, a female classmate before falling for Payu.
The first part focuses on the BL between Payu and Rain. Payu, a successful architect, falls for Rain during a student orientation meet. After a chance encounter in the rain, Payu sets out to pursue Rain. The storyline follows their courtship and how Rain eventually falls for Payu.
In the second part, the focus is on Prapai, who falls hard for Sky, a person with post-traumatic issues from a toxic relationship. This part is a gut-wrenching gay drama that shows how Prapai helps Sky overcome his trauma and learn to love again.
Some viewers didn't like the series split into two parts, but personally, I like it for that reason. It is based on two novels, and each part provides enough scenes to connect the two stories without overshadowing each other. This avoids the issue that many BL fans complain about, where side couples don't get enough attention compared to the main couple.
There were some complaints about making the series into two, but I disagree. The storytelling was just right without dragging it with unnecessary fillers, and the special episode was a nice bonus.
Overall, this series is worth watching because the intimate scenes are not gratuitous, and it presents a more realistic approach to sex BL than a couple who still act like virgins after being in a long term relationship.

Trovo che la storia sia ricca di emozioni, passione e intrighi.Inoltre le performance degli attori sono davvero degne di nota anche se potevano fare di meglio.
Inoltre, la colonna sonora è coinvolgente e riesce a creare l'atmosfera perfetta per ogni scena.
Se siete interessati alle storie d'amore coinvolgenti e appassionanti, "Love in the Air" potrebbe essere la serie perfetta per voi!
