I would love to watch BL series between thantai and the body guard!

Somehow the intimacy is not much tho in this series. Also, i am interested about tharnthai story as he's actually innocent but it's just that his problem is his dad. Their story is more interested than charn and tinn 😅 There is 2 episode more before i end this series and the preview for the next episode of tharnthai and bodyguard is superb. I am looking forward to their story more than the main actor of this series tho 😅 Compared to to sir with love, i prefer to sir with love than this series. And also i would love to look forward with new BL series between jam and film and i hope the episode and the storyline is way better than this.
Overall i loved this series absolutely! But if the main actor intimacy is way better than i think its an improvement than in this seriesn😅

Sla

Na verdade eu nĂŁo sei por onde começar, primeiramente estĂĄ demorando para de desenrolar o romance, mas isso nĂŁo Ă© um problema, no inĂ­cio parece que vocĂȘ estĂĄ vendo um bromance, mas eu nĂŁo vejo problema nisso.

E isso Ă© apenas um detalhe, que de certa forma Ă© irrelevante, o drama em si Ă© bom, a trama Ă© bem desenvolvida.

Mas eu passei muita raiva dos dois protagonistas, mas sĂł olhando para entender minha irĂĄ com eles, eu espero que esse pequeno detalhe mude, e que fique tudo bem por ambas partes.

Falando sobre o drama em si, Ele é bom, o ritmo que ele se desenrola também de certa forma e aceitåvel.

Better Mystery Than Romance

Surprisingly, this series works well as a mystery story and a good ‘who done it’ chronicle, but as a BL it foundered. The above quote literally summed up this series. For it is all about an unprincipled attorney’s futility in trying to be good but has fallen so far down the rabbit hole of evil that it is impossible for him to dig himself back up to the sunlight. I cannot say that the story is disinteresting; it is not. However, it does get overplayed and after a while, too many characters and too many scenarios convolute the story, and it almost becomes a farce. If you are expecting romance, there is little here. The 'second couple' is a way more interesting pair and should have been a major focal point in this series and wanted a more intense romantic connection between them. They were a power couple.

The story is nice, but the acting...

To be honest, I find the story to be quite nice, almost along the lines of the kinnporche series, but also, compared to the same series, I feel like the characters don't have the dinamic they should. I feel like Tin fell harder for Charn than the other way around and while this may not be bad in itself, I feel like this was not the way the story is. From the story I understand that they both love eachother very much and I can also see this in scenes like the helicopter one or in the sub-stories like that one time Charn went to apologise to Tin, but when it comes to their on-screen performance together...idk i just don't feel the chenestry between them.

An unfulfilled potential

Things I liked:
- I really enjoyed the acting and chemistry between the two main characters
- Charn's fake smile was a highlight for me

Things I didn't like:
- Unfortunately, the other characters felt shallow and the actor's performances were not up to par, especially the exaggerated portrayal of the villainous politician, Charn's ex-boyfriend, and the overly made-up aunt
- The plot felt illogical and superficial, and it seemed like the murder case could have been resolved in just half of the episodes. It was simply a matter of finding out it wasn't the son's fault, discovering the existence of the doll, locating the doll, and then the final confrontation scene
- The cinematography left much to be desired, with choppy scenes and inadequate special effects and editing. The "explosion" scene was particularly laughable
- Additionally, the romance between the rich boy and his bodyguard felt slow and ultimately pointless. It could have been omitted entirely
- The sudden and drastic change in the characters of the rich boy and Charn felt jarring. While I understand they behaved differently in the past, the transformation seemed too abrupt
- The intimate scene between the main couple was oddly directed, leaving me confused about the purpose of most shots
- The series attempted to blend too many genres together, but unfortunately failed to succeed. The humor bits felt out of place and tone-deaf to the overall tone of the series. For example, including a funny scene immediately after Thin mourning the death of his niece seemed inappropriate
- I didn't appreciate the implication that Charn may have been involved in the murder of the villainous politician, only for it to never be addressed again. If true, it would make him a murderer as well, which raises some serious ethical concerns
- The inclusion of a lecture on same-sex marriage laws in the last episode felt preachy and disrupted the overall flow of the series. While I agree with the message, it felt forced and intended to influence the audience
- The depiction of the "marriage" itself was underwhelming, with the main characters simply kissing/hugging the grandma and exchanging rings in a room filled with a handful of people. It felt like a parody of a wedding. Furthermore, the decision to include a marriage after just 8 action and murder-filled episodes felt rushed and didn't fit well within the storyline
- I couldn't help but notice that the actress playing the grandma seemed to have excessive filler in her face, which made her eyes nearly disappear when she smiled

Overall, the potential of the two main characters was not fully utilized in this series, and I hope the actors have the opportunity to work on a better project in the future.

Good series but something still missing

The series is fun and has lots of over the top drama. The leads have great chemistry. The story is a bit much over the top at times. I have to say it's a great series in the story idea, but the execution of the series was a bit off. The character of Tinn is the only good guy in this series. Charn is not trust worthy from the start, and to much of a player for my liking. Sadly very disappointed with the story development and over the top acting at times. This could have been so amazing of a series, but the lack of morals and very unrealistic law and justice makes it to be all a big joke. The actors are great but the character development is bad. I really wish they took this series is a better direction. The two girls that are there friends are great characters, and the ex was a nice touch, love them. The second couple which is the son and bodyguard sadly not a fan of at all, their story was dull and lacked real chemistry. Wish they did a better job in the emotion department felt off considering this was all suppose to be about his niece death and yet felt like hardly touched on at all, the story was way to fast in getting them together. Good series but felt flat a lot when it came to morals and unrealistic at times. I do love both of their smiles are beautiful and crazy. The singing is amazing as well.

Ep4 is fantastic

I am a fan of BL, when I watch Ep4 which drive me insane, I like both actors, they are so amazing. The chemistry of the main leads is just amazing! I could watch Charn smile all day long!! When Charn talk wiht Tinn in the club , the reaction is really good and I am so happy when Tinn hold Charn's hand.
And the song when Charn and Tinn in the club is so amazing too. MAY I KNOW THE SONG NAME? IT'S REALLY GOOD, I like Silvy too
Can't wait to see next episode. The story is really good that I will keep watch this drama.

It's Fantasticcccc!!!!!

You all be givin' reviews after watching just one episode. That's not fair! I can only say that this series is fantastic! The chemistry of the main leads is just amazing! I could watch Charn smile all day long!! My god he's so hot. And the story is spot on. I mean the suspense part is really which makes me more & more curious as to what's gonna happen next! Maybe the supporting characters are a bit annoying sometimes, but the Grandma is good.

So, it's basically a BL crime drama. If you are a fan of crime/suspense genre & a fan of BL, this drama is definitely worth watching!

Laws of attraction says do not think twice just watch this series ASAP!

I won't disagree with anyone that there are many plotholes but we all agree that the leads chemistry was just *chef's kiss* 👌😘 and that's the main ingredient for the success of the series. Even though the thrill part can be guessed beforehand but Film and Jam's acting didn't let me skip a second! I'm glad I waited till it finished either I wouldn't be able to wait and watch just 1 ep/wk. Now that I binge watched the whole series in a day, my heart is full 💗
Not a fan of lakorn but because of this lovely duo I'm willing to watch "To sir, with love"!

Last but not the least Silvy's voice was just cherry on top! She's a diva. Her piercing gaze with that sweet yet confident seductive smile just *AAAARRRRRRGGGGHHHH*... whenever she was on the screen I couldn't take my eyes away from her!🙈💕

There are many things left that can be improved in the future but in the era of fluffy BLs, a genre like this, came to me as a blessing and I loved every second of it đŸ˜»

My rating- 8/10

For those who need/want a better romance from Film/Jam after their other drama

The biggest motivation (for me) to watch “Laws of Attraction” is to see more of Film and Jam’s romance. I didn’t get enough when they were in “To Sir, With Love” and I liked them to want more. “Laws of Attraction” totally satisfies my need/desire and exceeds my expectations in that respect. However, the drama itself still have many faults.


What I Like:

Film’s acting - Film is night and day in this drama compared to his goody-two-shoes role in “To Sir, With You”. I did not expect to see his big eyes to show so many different emotions. I’m so glad he’s casted in a role for him to showcase his acting ability. He can change from a cold-blooded and cunning lawyer, to a lovesick puppy in an instant. What a pleasure to see him in here.

Romance - As I mentioned, this drama satisfies this romance junkie. I love a good enemies-to-lovers trope. The chemistry is excellent between Film/Charn and Jam/Tinn. Tinn loves Film the way he is and doesn’t try to change his cunning ways. He just wishes Charn to not go over the evil side and don’t forget the kind heart he still has inside of him. I wish this drama was not rated G but PG-13. Because, then maybe I would have gotten some decent, passionate kisses instead of the chaste ones. Nevertheless, you can’t miss the chemistry and the love between the two. Ok, there are a few scenes that give me the cringe, but they are limited.

General Acting - I’ve seen quite a few BL dramas these days, and there are some that you really question the acting. Tinn also did great, though might be overshadowed by Film a little. The veteran cast is great. I’ve seen Grandma in a few dramas now and I love her. Grandma and Maya are the dynamic duo I didn’t know I need. The other two younger actors, See and Pearl, might be the weaker ones but not so bad that they are intolerable.

Film’s Outfits - He has the coolest outfits I’ve seen for a male lead in a Thai drama. His shirts are so fashionable and he just doesn’t always wear a traditional shirt/suit. He looks good in white! Without going into spoilers, in the last episode, I really like his non-traditional attire.

Funny supporting cast - I love Grandma and how caring and funny she is. But I love her with Maya as well. I feel cheated that I didn’t see a song and dance with them! Charm’s ex also has quite an entrance. He’s so funny and over-the-top crazy but his scenes are limited so I don’t feel irritated. I also love the niece and wish we have more scenes of her and Tin together.


What I have Mixed Feelings:

Plot Holes - This is a BL drama first, and a crime drama second. There are so many plot holes that don’t make sense. I am not sure if the writing is really bad, or scenes are edited out. I am not sure how Charn survived till this day. I am not sure how this character can survive after a fire and explosion. And how did the fire really start and spread that fast? Why you are trying to hide and not to be found, I am not sure posting on Instagram is a good idea.

Pacing - I found the pacing of the first half slower especially when it comes to the lawsuit. The romance kept me going but there’s not much going on when it comes to solving the crime or the villain trying to cover it. However, it gets better in the second half and I am more invested in the whole story and not just the romance.

Action scenes - They are not good at all. We have a taekwondo teacher and a bodyguard, but their fight scenes are laughable. I don’t think the kick or punch hit hard at all. These scenes could be so much better without slow motion. It was quite annoying to see a punch thrown at regular speed and then another punch shown in slow motion.

Makeup - Too much makeup on the leads! They look so white! Jam looks so much more handsome in “To Sir, With Love” when his natural tan is shown.

Secondary Couple - It’s not a surprise that they get together. But what’s surprising is how they get there. One scene, they are comforting each other. The next scene they’re in bed and finished with the deed. Were scenes edited out? These two characters also lack chemistry together.


Overall, this is a decent watch. If you want to see Film and Jam together in another drama, then I definitely recommend this. But if you are watching because of the lawsuit/crime plot, you will be quite disappointed. I feel that “Laws of Attraction” can actually use a few more episodes to flush out Charn’s background story and give a little more time to develop other side plots, e.g. secondary romance. I have a similar review of the Taiwanese drama “HIStory3: Trapped”. I am glad to see a non-school setting and more mature BL drama. I just haven’t found one that can give me a satisfying plot + mature romance yet.

Good but Rushed at last episodes

I liked the series, It was good till 6th episodes but 7th & 8th were too rushed. Multiple scenes were cut during editing confusing the viewers.

I loved it

I was curious about this title of the story that's why I picked this to watch and it turn out to be a great story and I really loved every bit of it. Laws of attraction is a story about a baddie lawyer and his client.

I gave 9 to the story because the plot is seriously interesting and there are many plot twists. Also I must say that Chan's never ending saga of not telling the whole truth to Tin. I really liked Charn's character from the 1st episode because the court scene was amazing and also I suspected P'Vit from the begining. I knew that there is something really wrong about him. About P'Thee and Tan I really loved Thee's patience and everything. 2nd couple is so cute though they had a very few screen time but I really loved their moments.

About the acting some people still need to improve their acting and the music also great. I really love the OST and the sngs that they used can express the feelings to the audience so easily. Ireally loved the aesthetics that they used here. A lawyer and a Taekwondo teacher's combination is really something. Overall I really loved it.
So if you're searching for some kind of criminalism based bl then I'm reccomending this masterpiece to you. You should atleast watch this once in your life if you're a bl lover. I really enjoyed this whole show.

Edit: ( As a future law student this bl is really helpful to me LOL )
