I like the concept. I love Title But I Just Can't
Title is a great actor which is why I even devoted a moment of my time on this show. But he's not the only great one on this show. Pee is a marvel and a stunning young man. And of course there is Suar from You're My Sky is fantastic.However, I have to drop this series because the Motive Village Trash is stinking up the place. Yes, the screenwriter is that arrogant piece of bleep that wrote that piece of bleep called 2 Moons The Ambassador and there is another piece of bleep from the above mentioned series that plays PingPong so I would rather not continue.
I wish the absolute best for Title in this series but as much as I would love to watch him blow everyone away with his talent I can't knowingly support a series written by Fluke. I really just don't like him.
But I wish those who do choose to watch a great time. But I'm gonna have to pass.

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.

Lost Then Regained Interest Towards the End
Ok I have a lot to say lmao. Firstly, I want to say compared to some of the other recently released Thai BL's, I think this one is one of the better ones I've seen. With that being said, this series was a good at first but I then slowly started to lose interested towards the middle and then regained interest towards the end of the series. Let me explain.Ok, so I think the plot was very original. I don't think I've seen another BL series with a similar plot. But I think about 4-6 episodes in I noticed the main characters are literally self-sabotaging to the point where it's kind of ridiculous. For example, with Lomfon and Saengtien, Lomfon continuously goes after Saengtai when quite literally everybody else in the series is telling him not to. Also, I think Saengtai also self-sabotaged because there's no way he couldn't tell Lomfon liked him. Even when Beau told him that Lomfon liked him he completely disregarded her observation. I think Phat self-sabotaged in the end because instead of listening to Dream he ran away from his problems.
Also, the lack of communication in this series is actually wild. None of the main couples in this series know how to actually communicate, from Phat and Saengtai, Lomfon and Saengthian, to the parents.
Overall, though I did find the lack of communication and the constant self-sabotaging slightly annoying, this series actually wasn't that bad and there were a lot more good scenes than bad ones.

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.Was this review helpful to you?

Almas... Só?!
Uma série que tinha tudo para ser boa.Primeiramente o desenvolvimento do casal principal foi rápida demais, a meio da série eu poderia dizer só uma coisa. Ela estava ok, pensei que veria só momentos fofos dos dois, mas não foi isso que aconteceu. E inaceitavelmente, colocaram drama demais.
Sobre as almas gémeas, eu só sei que poderiam ter explorado esse tópico um pouco mais. Por vezes os capítulos nos atiram informação desnecessária e só no próximo é que esclarecem minimamente. Algumas informações são sempre colocadas na mesa, mas o prato vem sempre vazio, e só no fim ou quase no fim da série é que colocam comida no prato. Falando mais precisamente sobre o drama entre o filho... ou melhor... o drama que o filho coloca sobre o divorcio dos pais.
O casal secundários ficou para lá em segundo plano. Eu posso dizer que nem me lembrava da existência dessa série se não fosse o Tien, aquele que eu mais gostei de ver.
E porque as almas gémeas têm que ser sempre namorados? Bem uma série que eu nunca verei... não recomendo de todo. Só para pessoas que querem ver coisas fofas durante alguns capítulos e depois encharcarem-se em drama, que até dá dó.

Suivre ou confronter sa destinée ?
« De nombreux films parlent d'histoires d'amour. Mais vous savez pourquoi on ne se lasse pas de les regarder ? Car chaque film parle d'une histoire d'amour différente. L'amour est une histoire. Le message de l'amour est facilement transmit aux spectateurs car tout le monde sait ce qu'est l'amour. Je veux que vous trouvez quelle histoire vous voudriez raconter. Brisez l'enveloppe d'une belle histoire avec de superbes effets visuels, pour revenir à l'essence même de votre histoire que vous voulez raconter. »J'ai adoré cette réplique parce qu'elle est représentative de La Pluie. C'est une histoire d'amour qui remet en cause l'idée des âmes-sœurs dans une romance simple et qui n'a pas besoin d'énormément d'artifices pour fonctionner.
Je ne suis personne pour imposer ma définition de l'amour, mais je pense honnêtement que peu importe la personne avec qui on est, la relation doit rester amusante d'une façon ou d'une autre. Et à un moment, Saengtai et Phat ne s'amusaient pas ensemble, puis ils ont retrouvé cet amusement si caractéristique d'une relation amoureuse.
Alors, je ne vais même pas essayer de ne pas le faire parce qu'il faut en parler : l'intimité des personnages. C'était magnifique... Les scènes intimes étaient sexy et belles. Les baisers étaient renversants (je peux vendre une partie de mon âme au diable pour de tels baisers dans des dramas). Ces scènes étaient incroyables avec une belle ambiance et un respect mutuel qu'on a rarement l'occasion de voir.
Contrairement aux autres personnes, je n'ai pas trouvé de « trous béants » dans l'histoire. Il y a quelques étrangetés ou des directions qui sont sans surprise (cf, la montagne). Mais rien qui ne m'ait empêché d'apprécier ce drama. Certes, plusieurs points dans l'intrigue auraient dû arriver plus tôt, notamment à la scène entre Lomfon et Saengtai. Pourtant, c'est plein de tensions. Ce moment où Saengtai entend sa voix, lorsqu'il se retourne et où ils s'observent. La scène est incroyable, mais elle aurait dû se produire bien avant. À ce moment, il ne reste que deux épisodes. C'est trop peu...
D'ailleurs, j'ai aimé la réaction de Phat suite au baiser. On brise l'image de l'homme parfait, d'autant plus que Phat l'avait prévenu. D'accord, je ne cautionne pas la violence, mais comme dit précédemment, le mignon chaton peut aussi devenir un tigre féroce.
À côté, la scène suivante entre Thian et Lomfon est aussi pleine de sens. L'un accuse, l'autre est blessé. Puis soudain, les rôles s'inversent. Entendre Thian partager ses sentiments m'a broyé le cœur. Pfiouh !
J'aime beaucoup l'idée d'une deuxième saison. Tant pour le final de Thian, que le fait d'avoir laissé Phat et Saengtai. Les quelques questions en suspens pourront peut-être trouver leurs réponses dans cette possible suite. La Pluie n'est pas parfait, j'ai passé un très bon moment. C'est un drama que je peux facilement revoir dans quelques mois, et peut-être que je découvrirais de nouvelles choses.
En bref, la pluie est un phénomène ravissant et le drama lui rend joliment honneur. Malgré ses imperfections, c'est une plaisante romance où l'idéologie d'âmes sœurs est remise en question sans pour autant discréditer quiconque.
