rain makes me lonely as well
• first of all, i have no expectations for this series. mostly kasi na narrelease last month na thai bl ay hindi nakukuha 'yong interest ko, but this series ay masasabi kong may potential. it's all about soulmate stuff na kapag umulan ay magkakaroon ng hearing loss (which is rare stated in the story) at ang maririnig lang ay ang "soulmate".• second, sobrang lss ko sa intro nito na "is this the real love" by boy sompob🙇♀️ parang ang sarap ma-in love sa song na 'yan. halos 6 eps yata hindi ko naskip ang intro f na f ba naman ihh lol.
• third, all goods naman ako sa acting nakuha emotions ko lalo na sa break up thing. maraming umayaw kay lomfon maybe nasira image niya sa ginawa niya, but naintindihan ko 'yon. goods din ang visuals ng cast masyadong pogi kaya siguro kay lomfon ako since hindi siya sobrang pogi pero ang tangkad bEh! fav character ko yata si lomfon, idk, attracted lang siguro 'ko sa matalino ta's introvert & may confidence >>>
• fourth, may ep na lumagapak 'to. maybe we got lost in translation maybe i ask for too much? ang eme hane. may ep kasi na parang sobra na 'yong paulit ulit na flashback kahit hindi naman need, sayang kaya oras. hindi ko rin maintindihan bakit naging tatlo 'yong mag soulmate, ang landi ng destiny gano'n?? HUYY SOBRANG DAMING SCENE ANG NAHULAAN KO & YES GANO'N ITO KAPREDICTABLE or baka ako lang 'to 💁♀️
• lastly, gusto ko pa ng lomfon & sangtien moments (bias ako kaya lakong pake kay patts at tai basta ok na ko na happy sila hahaha). i love enemies to lovers trope kaya kahit eye contacts lang nagwawala mga lamang loob ko sa kilig. btw, kinarma raw si lomfon sa ending, bet ko reaction ni tien "tay laew" HAHAHAHA lahat na may hearing loss shuta akala ko ba rare?!
• la pluie is a french word that means "the rain"

"Now, I just need to live in reality"
I don't know what kind of unrealistic fairy tale someone expects but watch this one to, literally, entertain yourself.If you watch the series as purely romantic, you will rightfully be bored.
If you watch the series as romantic fiction you will rightfully be confused.
If you see the series as an allegory of how humans love, you might find something very interesting to watch alongside a very good BL theme.
Rain as the microcosm bubble created by mutual or one-sided feelings towards someone. In this personal space - world you only listen (rightfully and humanely) to the person you care about and the most selfish (in a good or bad sense) part of you. Otherwise "it so lonely when it rains"
And yes, in this little personal world nothing is certain, solid, completely innocent or evil.
No one is perfectly good or bad but everyone tries their best (at least to understand).
"When hard times come, love is not enough" - The biggest enemy is ourselves.
With this perspective the series achieves a lot and at the same time, let's recognize this part, it keeps the classic BL aspects to everyone's delight.
See it with an open eye, mind and heart... and you will gain something or at the very least you will have a very good time.
Pros: Good acting, solid story, interesting characters, good chemistry, good managing of diversity, equity and inclusion
Improve: Clearer target for the message, clarifying the multiple levels of each role, better structure of the fiction world
PS. On the contrary to others opinion, the second half was even better!

It's when you realise it's not at all about the supernatural stuff.
There might be spoiler at the bottom, i just wanted to rant 😅. I know there's so much hate on this particular series but i enjoyed it...THINGS I DON'T LIKE:
1. There are a lot of repeated scenes, they tried to show things from other person's POV and repeated a lot of scenes. I get why tho, it also made sense but it was still unnecessary.
2. Then again "filler scenes" there are times when you'll be thinking like i didn't wanted to see this you could have just told me in 4 to 5 lines maximum.
3. The thing everybody hated "stupid mistakes" although i understand and also relate to some of them but they were still stupid.
THINGS I LOVED:
1. overall the series is cute and fluffy but with a light touch of drama.
2. Great casting, they both fit perfectly in their characters. Side cast is also good.
3. Plot - i like the plot because if wee look deeper it's not about the hearing loss or soulmate thing, it's more about the issues we face in real life. When we want to choose someone because we want to not because we have to, like real life trust and conversation is the key to their relationship.
SPOILER RANT:
So i super annoyed by the cafe and bus stop scenes being repeated 6 times over then tai's parents life story was a never ending saga, which i didn't need to know. They could just tell in words how they loved each other but had different ideas about life so they went their separate ways.
Lomfah is another annoying character in here, i really wanna punch him in the face for kissing tai, i mean soulmate or not he knew his own feelings about tien, also tai is on a commited relationship with patt.
I liked his concept of scientific reasoning to the condition and how ppl on a certain wavelength and area might be able to listen cos it makes way more sense than soulmate thing.
Tai is hated by a lot of ppl but i wanna defend that baby, he's very mature throughout the series and mature ppl are also allowed to make mistakes.

1/3 into this show and alr loving it!!
I heard about this show back in May and I always thought about watching it but always pushed it aside to watch other series. I finally decided to watch this with my younger sister and we both already loved the 1st ep!! Unfornetly I can't watch any more than 4 eps with her cause after watching ep 2 I found out that this show was rated 18+ and I don't allow my sister to watch shows rated 18+ yet 😭.Anyways so far, I haven't really had any problems with this show it's an interesting concept for a Thai bl I do have to say I am kind of scared how the rest of the show will play out and if the plot will still be good.

Well.
Alright, at first I loved how this story was heading, but T is too bothered by how his parents ended up. While i understand it’s just so bothersome for the storyline, i would understand if something seriously happened to split his parents up…but not having similarities? really? That’s why you’re effected…Besides that i can see that his mom had also effected how he reacted when everything happened between him and Patt, which inevitably in my opinion made everything worse. Aside from his and Patts story, i really enjoyed Tien and Lomfon. Seeing the end im guessing there may be a season 2? The whole being effected by divorce, being confused about who you like, etc. apart from that Im glad everyone in a way learned from the mistakes that were made, who know maybe they can grow from everything that happened.

Pretty hot, despite the rain
This may be one of the best BL's of 2023. I enjoyed it from the first second to the last and never did it get boring or uninteresting.Despite the original fantasy-themed plot, the actual bl-story is quite predictable. That's not a big deal though, since I like to see BL-tropes (well, most of them anyway) and these come with predictability. The rain triggering soulmates ability to communicate while being deaf to everything else is a great find to build on. The MC starts off a bit awkward, but once they start kissing, the chemistry is undeniable for everyone. The way Saengtai looks at Patts during NC scenes is absolute fire. These kisses are hot hot hot.
The synchronicities between Tai's parents relationship and his own are pure realness. So are a lot of other scenes. The slow change in Somfon from his first love and savior to his real heart and feelings is wonderful to see.
I did not care for the sudden outburst of aggressivity in Patts, and it irrtates me that this was not addressed at all. Besides the fact that it came from nowhere and was blind rage, it did not fit the character of Patts so far. He had said he had a temper, but there was never any other outbursts before that. And nobody tells him off for it either. For me this would be an absolute turn-off on a guy, but that's me.
Some of the dialogue is a bit stiff or not toned right. But these are very minor flaws compared to the overall mesmerizing experience of this BL.
I loved the atmosphere, the pace, the theme, the completeness, the family, the NC scenes, the handling of tropes. In some parts it reminded me of TOATS or ITSAY (It not as good as these tho!!). I will put this one high on my re-watchable list.

Well, that was a weird last episode
*happy ending*Just like other reviews, the premise was chef's kiss. The overall plot that they are going through is unique and engaging. Quite cute as well. Plus the love scenes are superb. One of the best i might say.
However, it started going downhill a bit by episode 7. I didn't like that they added unnecessary scenes of Nara. I was soo weirded out of her sudden solo scenes. She is beautiful but I dont think those scenes about her are necessary. She even had about almost 20 mins of screentime in episode 8 and most is just her crying. I dont see the point.
The last episode is the weirdest for me. They added a flashback of the extra couple which I dont think is necessary. It took time that was supposed to be for the main couple's time to shine.
Speaking of flashbacks, what i also didnt like about this series is the amount of unnecessary flashbacks. I dont know why they keep reusing the scene that just happened as a flashback. Hello? The viewers does not have that short of a memory.
Anyway, Patt is sooo handsome. He looks a lot like Mamoru from Sailor moon. I also liked that I didn't feel any awkwardness towards both couples. Though the sudden GL couple was totally weird addition. It was like a spurn out of a moment thing.
I also dojt understand whats wrong with Tai. Maybe its the actor. Because there are times when he looks at Lom as if he is in love with him and even though he and Patt had a falling out, he doesnt look that sad. I think the actor needs a bit of improvement.
I love the cinematography of this show. Too bad that they added the best parts as a weird addition. For example, the sudden addition of sceneries in the last episode. Was it to garner tourists kind of tactic. Should have it part of the whole season instead. The music on the other hand is chefs kiss.
All in all, I am recommending you to watch it as it is one of maybe the middle high best of BL series out there. It might be something to rewatch, but it is a must watch.

Why am I just discovering this show?
This is was way too good, I was shocked at how good the series is. Ngl, this show is better written than some popular bls, although it has his flaws but everyone was on point. The acting was brilliant, pretty gorgeous boys, beautiful cinematography, well done kissing and nc scenes that won’t make you cringe, and wonderful musics. I love everything about this show. Also make me discover some new talents. A must watch. I love the plot, yes something could be better but overall it’s a beautiful series.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
