Love in the Air (2022)

This show will always be my FAVORITE!!!

There aren't enough words to describe how much I LOVE this show. It is so good, the production level is good, the story is good, the acting is good, the Visual FX ARE NEXT LEVEL, and even the OST is so good. I catch myself singing it more than I should be.

I love Phayu and Rain's story, probably a little to much if I'm gonna be honest. I cried after finishing it, It took MONTHS for me to recover from this show (I'm sadly not being dramatic). There level of chemistry on and off the screen is so good. I catch myself watching the best moments before going to bed just to get me something to think about. I get on the verge of tears when I hear the song from the show, ITS CRAZY. Phayu and Rain's story will most likely always be my favorite. I probably sound really delusional right now, but I am, so. No matter how long I make this, I could type forever about them. I love the way they are always smiling when they are with each other. I literally got so excited when I watched a scene I had missed when originally watching the show.

I also am OBSESSED with Pai and Sky's story. The way that it started was so funny to me and the way Pai was trying so hard to get to Sky was amazing. They also have such good chemistry on and off the screen, and I cant forget how well MeMindY/MAME did with the casting, I feel like they always do such a good job at finding actors.

Even though its already been a year since Love In The Air first aired which is crazy to think, I really hope they get their own separate series soon, which I don't think will happen at all. If it does happen, I will 1000% be watching.

EDIT: they got there own show??!?!?!!?!? i was not expecting that but rewatching it after watching many other dramas, its not all the rave but I def believe it will still be my fav until their separate series come out. i think i just loved the chemistry, but its not as good as i said it was. i will always cry to the intro music, no matter what.

Watchable only for pretty boys and bed scenes

If you like pretty boys and 18+ bed scenes, watch it. If you want good acting, interesting plot, fun script, then this drama is not for you.

The story is pretty simple. The drama is divided into two sections: 1-5 is PayuRain, 6-13 is PrapaiSky. Rain and Sky are best friends, so they show up in each other's stories. The plot is typical MAME with creepy, completely unacceptable in real life behaviour and dubious consent. Both romanticised, of course. There's also some noncon, but not between the main couples. The story is ok, but not especially engaging. The drama knows it because the characters make out all the time when they finally get together. Think Why R U but worse. And the bed scenes are 18+, you will see the whole act, fortunately no nudity.

The acting is awful. I think it actually got worse further into the drama. The dialogues are unnatural, the expressions are exaggerated or not there at all. No human behaves like the characters did. It was really difficult to see the characters instead of the actors, though usually I don't have a problem with it. The way the played the characters was so bad, I was actually glad when they were making out, because at least they weren't talking then. I'm really glad the actors are pretty. At least you can always look at their face or body and ignore whatever they try to act.

The editing and production are also bad. The scenes are too long, sometimes shown from many angles. I question the necessity for it. I really liked the motive of weather, which is connected to the names of the main characters. That was original and fun. The clothes were amazing. The drama is very pretty, in a typical Thai bl series way.

Would I recommend it? Not really. But it's not the worst, and if you watch with friends, then it may be even fun. The good will be multiplied and the bad ridiculed.

The worst show I've ever watched.

Never watched more toxic show expect from Kinnporsche. Payu literally almost r*ped Rain at the beginning of the show, but everyone seems to forget about it. Their relationship was mainly based on s*x but the scriptwriter/s wanted to make it seem like they were in a perfect relationship. Prapai was a stalker, but no one cares because the actor apparently is hot (he's not even that hot). The last episodes showed that Sky had a trauma after getting r*ped by his ex boyfriend, and I'm kinda glad they mentioned such a serious topic, but I think that's a little bit hypocritical to write something like that and than romanticise it when Payu almost did it to Rain.
There were way to many 18+ scenes. I swear every episode involved at least 2 or more of those scenes. At some point I felt like watching p*rn. The special episode was even worse then the whole series. The only purpose of this episode was to satisfy weird fetishists.

idgaf about y'all comments but THIS is by far one if the best bl's i got to watch

firstly, this drama has a great concept i mean what is there not to love about illegal racing.
it's good it's entertaining the couples have good chemistry just what a bl needs.
sex scenes were present and were super good, the actors have the talent needed for this and im so here for it.

yes it's a controversial pick but i loved the story, i am fully aware that not many people liked the story and that's the main cause of the rating.

the ost was so damn good it was stuck in my mind all day long(that depends on your taste in music).

i don't think it is necessary to rewatch it i mean do not get me wrong the series is truly great but, the story line is super simple and easy to understand.
plus because it won't be exciting anymore to rewatch the episodes (except for the sex scenes for me).
don't waste your time rewatching a series with such a simple and easy storyline.

overall i think this series is a must to watch.

Entertaining But Could Be Better

Phayu and Rain (Eps 1-7)

Phayu and Rain make a really believable couple and I love this couple so much. Their interactions are organic, a little cringey at times but still super cute. Their story for the most part feels like a slice of life, where not that much happens plot wise and it's more like we're just taking a peek into these characters' lives and I love that.

However, the plot tends to introduce things/ build up things only to have them peter out. For example, the race between Phayu and Stop. They built that up so much and Rain was so worried, but then the race happens and it was so underwhelming. Everyone said that Stop cheated but how? They never should us that he cheated or how.

Another thing was that they made it a big mystery about Phayu's family owing a garage but then Phayu randomly says it to a bunch of juniors. If he can mention it so casually there, how was it that this never came up before in all the years he was in uni?

The acting was pretty decent, not the best but also not the worst I've seen. Honestly, I love Phayu and Rain and could watch them being all cutesy and in love any time. 9/10

Prapai and Sky (Eps 8-13)

I actually think this storyline could have been handled better since the themes were darker compared to the first part. What bothered me the most was that in the beginning Prapai doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word 'no.'

He was pretty pushy in the beginning and I think they could have showed his determination to pursue Sky in a better way that didn't make him come off as a bit of a stalker. I mean he changed phone nember multple times because Sky kept blocking him. That's very stalker like. Or they could have shown Sky being more receptive in deeds but saying no verbally. Just something so it didn't seem so one sided.

However, in the later episodes, Pai was sweet for the most part and I do think the actors have good chemistry so Prapai and Sky were still a pretty cute couple.

The acting was okay. Peat's crying was a bit awkward sometimes and Fort's smile sometimes felt too fake and didn't portray the happiness that Prapai was supposed to be feeling. 7/10

Overall, the sound quality wasn't great and it was a little annoying that every charater needed to speak all of their thoughts aloud. It's fine if one character does it but when you have all four main character with this trait then it's awkward. However, I still enjoyed watching the show.

Hello? I can't hear you over the moaning

The chemistry in both couples are fire, but I did not enjoy the "baby talk". It was cringey and not my cup of tea.

The sound editing is trash; phone calls are weird, the sound is often uneven and the voiceovers were straight up bad. The editing in general is also questionable, with weird cuts and transitions spread throughout the series.

The structure of the series is ok. I liked how they focused on one couple at a time, but there were also a number of scenes that were repeated unnecessarily.
In terms of the script; there were many lines that felt forced and unnatural, and scenes where body language or silence would have been more suitable than speech.

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.

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.

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 one

My 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.
