it was a great series overall. 100% worth watching series.

overall it was a great series I loved the characters. I just don’t see myself wanting to watch it again. This series was worth watching. I really loved the plot and I loved how the series delivered the conflicts. it was a heart warming series but it can also be “spicy” at times too. I would consider it a great use of my time. That series got me hooked really fast and I finished it so fast I was disappointed I wanted more of the series. Overall I loved the series and I hope the cast do another series together.

Best R-rated content with no toxicity

By toxicity I mean sexualized rape and abuse but Payu and Prapai, even though they were portrayed as playboys, they both turned into amazing boyfriends who take care of their loved ones better than anyone. I really enjoyed the story and the development between the characters. Rain became more responsible with his life and well mannered. Just the stupidity didn't leave him. 😂
Payu became much less aggressive, more calm and very caring. Hubby material.
Prapai became faithful to one person and learnt to treat his lover with respect and stayed by his side in his darkest times. I really loved how he stayed with Sky all day and night when he was seriously sick from overworking himself. The worry in his eyes was everything and gosh his smile.
Sky learnt to trust people again and learnt to love. He became my favorite character with his dark story he was able to hide with his smile and overworking himself but it hurt him. He needed someone to start new story with so he can stop thinking about his trauma. I don't know if he ever visited therapist and was taking pills but it hurt me every time seeing him suffering in his own dreams. It kept hunting him for so long and there's no way he can ever forget about something like this.

All I wanted was worse ending for Gun because in the end he got the same punishment as Stop but it's completely incomparable. Stop kidnapped Rain and was threatening Payu with hurting Rain but in the it were just words and all he did was give Payu few hits till Chai came for him. While Gun... physically and mentally abused Sky for a long time and when he got bored he really.... I don't even want to mention it but it made me so freaking angry like how can you give him to your friends for rape?? And when he was finally happy with Pai, it made him want to rape him again and brainwash him about Pai hating him like wtf??? How can someone have this kind of mindset??? He reminds me of those psycho murderers who became legend for their craziness

Overall, I really enjoyed those love stories and they made it well with dividing their parts. Not like UWMA and Between Us which should be in my opinion mixed together.

didnt take me by storm but still good-ish

LITA was i think only the 2nd BL drama i watched and i honestly did not know what i was starting. It is...a hot mess!
Also, I don't have a problem with NC scenes, but idk some hint, a warning that this is a highly spicy series would've been nice because I went into this blind. probably because back then i didnt know who mame was yet but whoo boy!!!

Onto the real review:
LITA consists of 2 stories part one is rainxphayu and part 2 is skyxprapai.
I prefer skyxprapai because i feel like the characters had a lot more depth and realness to them and i enjoyed skyxprapai acting a lot more too. i also think that sky as a standalone character has much more charm than rain as a standalone character!
however the whole stuff about sky's backstory ;-; how tf is prapai going to help him, this man needs therapy!!!

rainxphayu was ok the first time i watched it, but the second time around it just fell flat and became boring and repetitive to me with a weird kidnapping episode which was wasted time they could've used to flesh out phayu and rain as ACTUAL people. why tf did phayu fall in love after seeing rain one (1) time? and then he pursued him weirdly but then again, prapai also had a whole non-con/dub con relationship with sky sooooooo...they're not really prime examples of best boyfriends/best men on earth.

anyways, the NC scenes are choreographed with great detail and are very very steamy which does distract from the sometimes subpar acting.

i actually did enjoy the music! i thought the lyrics were quite clever and i just enjoyed that it changed for when skyxprapai story was happening.

one thing i would change is the editing. the motor race scene from the beginning was shown wayyyy too often in the series, like at least 4 times. it became boring and unnecessary but i guess they spend a lot of money on those scenes?
all in all, not a bad series, don't use it as a moral compas, and just enjoy the hot mess of a ride it is!

Really good to be honest.

I think overall it was a pretty good series and the story really had good parts to it and overall was interesting and had good amount of episodes in it. The music is good but some of the songs I didn't like much because it gave me a headache for some reason because everytime the show would like open kind of I didn't like it and would skip. But other than that it was a really good series. I wouldn't really rewatch it because it was good but not something I'm so so interested in so. I give it a 9 <3

WORTH YOUR TIME!!!

One thing that genuinely surprised me about this show was the production. My first bl was KinnPorsche, so I came in with high expectations. And I'll tell you that I wasn't disappointed in the least. The production quality was very fine, and even though it felt childish at first, it developed into something of profound meaning to me. They also touched topics of having a good work ethic, trauma, abuse in relationship, rape, sexual assault, and feelings of depression. I liked this part of the drama a lot. I would say it changed my insight on some things. DEFENITELY GIVE IT A WATCH.
The characters are lovable, and if I downed the show to one word: worthwhile.

It would be better if they didn't split the series

I was interested in Payu and Rain's storyline, which is the reason I started watching this show. I didn't know the focus shifted halfway through, and I wasn't a huge fan of the second half. The motorcycle storyline went nowhere, and they reference a character constantly and you just...never meet him? They also played the exact same 8-minute or so long clip of the motorcycles being transported like three times. Why.

The best part about the show was the chemistry. Both couples felt well thought out in terms of development, and they managed to have two very different couples. I think I just don't like the whole switching to new leads thing they did. I felt like I should have been more invested in the Pai/Sky storyline than I was. It also felt like the show got way too serious way too fast in the second half. Instead of a fun, lighthearted show, it turned into a story of trauma and assault. If they were going to have more serious themes, I wish they would have brought them in towards the beginning of the show, instead of having them all at the end when it's totally unexpected.

Go get yourself a glass of wine. Watch as sequel to some drama that fails you cos this one won't

This drama is unique in its structure. The first half of the drama you are following Payu and Rain, and the second half follows Pai and Sky's relationship. I did not think it possible but I was equally invested in both couples.

Starting with the positives, the actors did better than your average bl actors. Also more hot scenes than your average bl that were somehow appropriately distributed. Everyone seemed very invested in those hot scenes and it shows. Cringe was minimal. And the drama worked to develop characters individually, which I greatly appreciated, to understand them better.

I could see how Pai improved in his acting throughout the show, that at some moments he brought tears to my eyes really. From smiles that became his go-to expression (and low key annoying), he be getting cuter tho from ep to ep not gonna lie..

Also, isn't Payu somehow green flagy? Like my man conditioned his partner to focus on his school prior to him. Gotta love man with his priorities straight. Pai was not that at all, but he had his moments.

...and now on weak points. There were really no major disappointments. Despite a lot of turbulence it dragged a bit. Major question mark is I did not understand why would both Payu and Pai fall for Rain and Sky respectively. I mean physical attraction I understand but they did not explain at all what was special about them so those handsome, mysterious, rich, bad boy and smart loners would find in them the love of their life them.

Soundtrack I actually noticed so I gave above average score.

Do not miss this one. This one is for cleansing eyes from you previous failures.

Dull storyline

Its getting along pretty okish just good for a light watch. I really have grown this BL I would have loved if I had watch 2 years back but now I need a good storyline before just bland NC scenes. Good acting ofcourse is a must which this series lacked. And the unnecessary kiddish roles played by boys just don't tempt me. I need mature actors. Don't come on saying I am not an ally enough for not understanding such characters. I would have liked it if they had played it simple but showing how stupid and dumb a character is definitely not a joyous ride to see.

modern lakorn with hot scenes

It's a lakorn, if you know what i mean... But it's modern and it's got some hot scenes! What else? Not much... Young cast, some better than others.
Excellent cinematography, nice camera angles, nice settings, nice details... Fashion & hairdo are a bit weird.
Plot is full of tropes, like the character with a traumatic past and those dom/sub love dynamics (power balance in the two couples is totally off! being patted on the head is something so pleasurable? I almost saw those two subs wiggling their tail...).
It's like one - or two - BL Cinderella's encounter their respective prince.
The comedic element is hardly done right.

Story of Sky and Prapai

I’m glad that they separated the stories of the 2 couples so I could only watch episode 8 to 13 as I absolutely love the story of Sky and Prapai! It begins with exciting NC scene but as I learned more about Sky and realised why he acted like that, I just couldn’t help but caring about this couple! The casting is excellent as well.

I did try to watch a few episodes of Rain and Phayu, but I just didn’t get the chemistry between them. Rain’s supposed to be good looking but again I just didn’t feel anything. How they fall in love with each other seems contrived.

Mmmm idk.

I found this show very questionable sometimes. I was left with a bad taste with how the relationships started and the way they then took a turn did not please me completely, it was a bit hard to see the characters in a better way after how they acted the firsts times they met with her later partners, but the truth is that I enjoyed the show, excluding those scenes that bordered on the non-consensual things (between the couples), but for what I've seen in Thai bls this one has not been so bad. Undoubtedly, the ending was a bit rushed, I think it was a plot that could have been deepened more and in a better way, but well...

Dont compare

I personally LOVE this series and will definitly re-watch it, the actors did AMAZING considering some of them are new to BL and i also liked the stories between PayuRain and PrapaiSky.

My problem is iv read most of these reviews and some of you compare bossnoeul and fortpeat, you should not be comparing them its not fair to fortpeat to be compared to bossnoeuls chemistry, its not their fault they arent as comfortable with eachother as bossnoeul, even though fortpeat are close they dont need to be compared to anyone (neither does bossnoeul). And of course their stories are completely different so there is absolutely no need to compare things between them the only thing the stories have in common is that payu and prapai are friends and so are rain and sky.

So please stop comparing them. ❤️
