Love Sea

Otro bl igual de Mame

No le tenía ningún tipo de expectativa a este bl, conociendo q la escritora era Mame y no tiene creatividad, sus historias se basan en crear un chico con traumas y que el otro chico se los solucione, exactamente igual hizo con TharnType, LITA y ahora en este bl.
Lo único que se salva en esta serie es la química que tienen Fort y Peat, siento que Fort si ha mejorado su actuación, pero Peat sigue prácticamente igual que en LITA y no mencionemos cuando intenta llorar y no le sale ninguna lagrima. En cuando a las chicas, no les han dado un final que concluya su historia, porque tiempo han tenido para incluirlo, si no hubiesen metido escenas que no aportan nada a el argumento.
Honorable mención al tatuaje de Mut super hortera.

Me gusto demasiado!!

Acabo de terminar el ultimo ep de la serie, y la verdad es que me gusto mucho, ame demasiado ver otra serie protagonizada por el Fort Peat, ambos actores son muy buenos y de verdad le creo todo lo que me presentan.

La serie nos cuenta la historia de tongrak un escritor que lo manda a una isla a concentrarse para que pueda terminar de escribir su siguiente novele y un isleño, Mahasamut. Ellos terminan teniendo una especia de romance ocasional y al final tongrak termina "comprando" a mahasamut y llevándolo a la capital con el.

El inicio de esta historia es muy divertido y con potencial, los personajes aunque si los desarrollaron en mi opinión le falto algo mas, que conste ame sus actuaciones y todo, pero siento que pudo a ver sido aun mejor, con respecto a la segunda pareja, la verdad es que esperaba mejor desarrollo de esta, considero que al final quedo flojo todo el tema de ellas y su relación, y si hubo tiempo de desarrollarla, solo que no la manejaron de la mejor manera.

Un personaje estrella que se me robo el corazón fue la sobrina de tongrak, una pequeña que actúa muy bien y en especial amaba ver los detrás de escena de ella con Fort, se ven siempre como dos pequeños jugando.

sobre la musica, me gusto bastante, en especial el ost principal, ya esta en mi playlist, disfrute mucho la musicalizaron,.

Sobre volver a ver la serie, pues... no soy de repetir historias, cuando mucho las pongo en 2x y solo pauso escenas que quiero XD, pero si creo que al menos esto puede pasar con la serie,, reviviré mas adelante escenas que me gustaron.

En general es una buena serie, no la mejor, pero si divertida y te engancha, también te provoca o saca varios tipos de emociones y en lo personal, una serie que te provoque emociones, algo bueno tiene, hay muchas que ni una sonrisa te saca y esta sin duda saca muchas. Se la recomiendo a todos, en especial a los fans del Fort Peat, o simplemente a las personas que les gusto su actuación anterior en love in the air.

Interesante tu fanfic de Prapai y Sky

No iba hacer una reseña de esto, pero luego pensé ¿En serio me voy a perder la oportunidad de quejarme? Claro que no y como siempre me voy a quejar por puntos.
1. ¿Quién verga escribió el GL? Demanden a esa persona, lamento decirte que no se te entiende, no se si tengo que verlas como enamoradas a las dos, a una enamorada o si tengo que ver a una aprovechándose de su posición de poder para romperle los ovarios a la otra, encima a la actriz que hace de Muk la dirigieron con el culo porque no se si veo a una adulta o a una nena pendeja de 15 años que le gusta sobreactuar.
2. El maquillaje de heridas es una verga, parece que lo hice yo mientras estaba aprendiendo, déjame ver que es grave la situación, dame maquillaje exagerado pero que se note que esta hecho pija no esto.
3. Si me vas a vender que Tongrak le tiene PANICO a su papá MOSTRAMELO no me lo digas porque sino al momento de la hora no se va a sentir ese miedo porque solo me lo dijiste y cada que sale es como ver a un pj random y ya, muéstramelo con un cambio de luces, en como va vestido el papá, en como Tongrak se siente mas pequeño con él, con cambio de planos a uno mas cerrado no se algo, dejen ver ese terror que le tiene que hasta mas tiempo pudo tener porque muy desaprovechado estuvo este disque villano, la herida que le quedo a Tongrak como que pudo estar mejor hecha porque eso parece mas algo que se hizo un nene jugando que algo que le hizo un adulto enojado.
4. Ya no pongan a Peat a llorar, no le sabe o al menos aprendan a como dirigirlo porque si se nota que las emociones de tristeza un poco si le cuestan o por ahí es porque no lo dirigen bien.
5. Esto no es una queja sino un apartado para decir que cuiden a la nena que hace de Meena, esa nena es una actriz de puta madre, yo no se si andaban traumando a la nena para que llore y muestre miedo asi de bien pero a ella si le creía el miedo que tenia al igual que la tristeza por como actuaba, la nena se comió la carrera de media industria de actores de BL que actúan con el culo, ojala le hayan pagado bien.
6. Fort y la nena sacaron adelante esto a nivel actuación fua.

-Hogar, para mi... no es un lugar. Eres tu.

He terminado esta serie y no se que tanto me gusto, puedo decir que no la odie pero sin duda es una serie que me causo varios conflictos, la historia es bien, pero creo que lo que me pasa es que esta serie no es consistente para mi, porque a veces escala y luego sufre un declive para mi y asi va pasando a lo largo de la serie, también siento que me falto mas contexto de varias cosas o una resolución mas clara pero de lo perdido lo ganado y también tiene sus aspectos buenos.

Mahasamut y Tongrak Taksakornkarn
Para mi y la razon principal por la que segui viendo esta serie es por Mahasamut, nos dan todo este contexto de el y que hace mucho sentido con como es el, desde que se nos dice como no se relaciona con su padre por lo que paso, sobre como el es el que saca adelante a la isla porque el que motivo a todos a cuidar el ambiente incluso el siendo el encargado etc etc aparte si tiene una actitud muy carismática y que en todo momento te cae muy bien, caso contrario de lo que pasa con Tongrak Taksakornkarn si bien no considero que su personaje sea malo, siento que se queda un en medio, para empezar yo decía porque no estas yendo a terapia, porque si bien se podría decir que ambos tienen un trauma es Tongrak el que no logra lidiar del todo con este, igual se nos da un contexto de el, desde como en su familia la mayoría se llevan mal porque se aprovechan/tratan de opacar unos a otros y todo el trauma generado por padre cuando le dijo de pequeño que era su culpa que el tio doctor haya muerto según yo esta es la principal razón del temor a amar de el pero no se si fueron por las escenas o que pero llego un punto en el que todavía no me hacia nada de sentido que no quiere a Mahasamut.

Ellos como pre-pareja (porque es hasta el ultimo capitulo que se vuelven pareja) tienen una dinámica un tanto rara (no en el mal sentido) nomas que tienen como tres o cuatro facetas en toda la serie (que son hasta tres por capitulo) que serian contarse cosas personales, tener relaciones además de tener discusiones/peleas y tratarse como una pareja, ahora si bien al principio se podría decir que Tongrak nomas lo estaba utilizando para tener relaciones y que asi le llegaran momentos de inspiración no pasa mucho tiempo para que nosotros como espectadores nos demos cuenta que ya indirectamente siente algo por mahasamut porque si algo nos queda bien claro es que Mahasamut si se enamora de el y si se da cuenta de sus sentimientos y maybe Tongrak también pero por este trauma los evita y los esquiva diciendo que para el el amor era subjetivo, no existe, que no valía la pena etc etc.
Aun cuando ya pasa toda esta escena donde Mahasamut salva a Tongrak de su padre y le dice que lo mire que no le va a hacer nada y como que Tongrak sale de este trance de tenerle miedo a su padre y asi, tenemos la escena donde Mahasamut le da la pulsera y se le confiesa y Tongrak entra en negacion otra vez y quiere que firmen el contrato otra vez (para mi el punto mas bajo de este personaje) y le dice que no quiere su amor y le avienta la pulsera Mahasamut decide irse y es en este punto donde para mi Tongrak debio de haber sufrido mas y no porque le desee el mal o algo pero el fue el que dejo ir a Mahasamut y aunque queria que sufriera para mi se tardo en darse cuenta que si lo amaba y que haya sido por el simple hecho de creer que la basura si se llevo la pulsera nomas me hace pensar que si eso no pasa Tongrak no lo buscaría y no me malentiendan química ellos tienen y bastante y vaya que nos la demuestran a lo largo de los capítulos pero aja.

Tenemos una "pareja" secundaria "Vivi" Virapapha y Khaimuk
Y esta entre comillas por el simple hecho de que en la serie no llegan a ser pareja, tienen sus momentos de desarrollo y hasta en un punto se besan pero según yo no terminan como pareja ahora los personajes me cayeron bien pero si no iban a hacer mucho de ellas (porque como que no supieron que hacer a mi parecer) con su relacion pues mejor no la hubieran hecho porque siento que funcionan muy bien como personajes de apoyo, entiendo que a veces no entendía la actitud de Khaimuk como estas sobre-reacciones que tenia y asi pero ya para los últimos capítulos ya se ve un personaje mas conciso mismo caso como Vivi nos dan muchas escenas de ella y al principio cuando a ella la meten en rumores y asi siento que ese tema se debió de haber abordado de mejor manera, pero fuera de eso si tengo que aplaudirle que si es un personaje al que le agradeces por hacer que Tongrak entre a conciencia y es un gran personaje de apoyo, siento que pudieron haber hecho mucho con ellas y si las dejaron muy en el tintero al final.

Personajes secundarios
Palm: el hermano (creo que no de sangre pero demostró lealtad btw no se si entiendan eso), me cayo muy bien, siento que tiene una actitud muy alivianada creo que es un Mahasamut pero en chiquito.
Meena: es un personaje que me cayo bien, me gusto que siempre trato bien a Mahasamut y que se encariño y lo quiso muy bonito al punto de decirle Tio cuando Tongrak y Mahasamut no eran nada.
Prin: un personaje que paso sin pena ni gloria para mi, no destaco en nada y que hasta me gustaba mas Tongrak cuando le ponía su estate quieto
Khom y Khun Connor: tampoco nada que decir de ellos muy destacable Khom nomas fue cameo creo y ps nomas sabemos que fue comprado por Khun y que se lleva muy bien con Mahasamut casi lo mismo de Khun y Tongrak que son mejores amigos y que se nos dice que Khun a estado muchas veces para Tongrak algo que no me hacia mucho sentido puesto que no veía que Khun hiciera algo o le marcara a Tongrak para saber como estaba.

En conclusión una serie que para mi o la amas o la odias o simplemente dices esta bien lo que ofrece (este ultimo es para mi), sin duda hay cosas que debieron explicar mejor o un contexto mas claro en lugar de enfocarse en otras cosas, pero que a final de cuentas cumple como serie, es disfrutable (dependiendo de cada uno pero aja), todavía me falta ver el capitulo especial veremos si este cierra varias cosas.
La frase del titulo es del cap 10.

Un mar solo para dispuestos a entenderlo.

Me sorprende la cantidad de mala impresión que dejó está serie en algunas personas cuando para mí fue totalmente lo contrario.
Coincido en que la historia es bastante básica, no hay nada de bueno o interesante realmente, pero la actuación de ambos, la química que hay entre ellos y la forma en la que transmiten los sentimientos, realmente lograron sacar a flote la serie.
Tiene una producción genial, y un soundtrack espectacular, lo adoro, pero no por eso estoy segura de querer ver la serie una segunda vez, porque ya lo he dicho, la historia no es tan buena.
Pero debo recalcar el hecho que para quienes pueden sentirse identificados con Tongrak, esta serie logrará tocar cada fibra del corazón. No es mala, pero solo es para quienes quieren entenderla y están dispuestos, porque los temas sentimentales que toca, los desarrolló de una buena manera, realista por sobre todo.

Amar el mar es la opción correcta

¿Saben cuando un personaje está tan bien construido que te planteas si lo que estás viendo es de verdad un personaje o una extensión del actor que ha puesto su cuerpo y mente en el producto que está entregando? Pues es lo que me pasa con Mahasamut. Me cuesta creer que Fort no haya puesto mucho de sí mismo en este personaje, porque no puede ser más perfecto. Daría mi vida sin pensarlo por Mahasamut. Conquistaría naciones por Mahasamut. Me mudaría a una isla perdida en el sur de Tailandia, sin oficio ni beneficio, por Mahasamut.

Tengo la duda de si MAME estaría hasta arriba de ayahuasca el día que decidió crearlo, porque el tercer ojo lo tenía abierto y dispuesto para recibir las bendiciones de Buda.

Qué jodida obra de arte, cómo consiguen utilizar un tropo manido para crear una historia sobre el trauma, sobre el abuso, pero, ante todo, sobre la importancia de los cuidados como elemento protector ante cualquier problemática. Tongrak se sostiene porque aunque odie el amor, ha estado rodeado de este desde siempre. Mook estando a su lado, más como una amiga que como una secretaria, luchando por él, Vie siendo el ejemplo perfecto de lo que el amor debe ser y... al final llega a su vida Mahasamut para demostrarle que lo que había conocido hasta el momento llevaba el nombre de amor, como podría haber llevado el nombre de pájaro. No era descriptivo de la realidad, solo un mote sobrepuesto.

Estaré toda mi vida feliz de haber podido ver esta serie mientras se publicaba y de que la canción de Fort esté en mi primer poemario para siempre.

Well...That Was... At Least They Are FortPeat--- hihi?

Am I the only one who wanted to put a potato sack over that assistant girls head for all that overreacting in the earlier episodes? Yeah, no? okaii.

And listen to this: Tongrak is so traumatized with his mother falling in love with a gigolo that he doesn’t even believe in love, so of course, his solution is to… *check notes** get himself a live-in gigolo. Child! Like?

Also, what the hell was up with Rak's sperm donor? No really, Rak's dad is a rubbish person. Mfer walked into the scene looking like he collects coupons and went: 'I want you to break up with my son because I want to be a good father to him.' HUH??? His whole motivation for being a bum went like this.

RAK’S BUM ASS DAD: Yes, I’m a sucky father and husband. But I want to make it up to my son and be there for him. So even though you make him happy, I want you to break up with him, so he can be miserable.
ME: Ah, so, we taking nonsense orders now. Alright. *drives to a church* Pastor, I’ll have the beef burger with cement, please.
RAK’S BUM ASS DAD: You make no sense.
ME: No you make no sense you bum ass sperm donor.

Quick Review:
Listen, this drama was a dumpster fire. It didn’t even know what it wanted to be. It want from being a sugar baby au, tags: (#islandlife #authorswriting #shortsrealshort #showerseks #crazydads #mentionedgigolos) to annoying cousins revenge plotline, to wanna be gangster dads, to bracelet selling island dwellers, literally pick a struggle. And the sad truth is, after all that, the story-line still felt flat to me. Though, except for wondering what will became of the gl couples, there wasn't any loose ends, cuz the writers had Rak's mother become the ex-machina. Not only did she take care of the dad problem, but also the cousin, all off-screen, and suddenly everything was rainbows.

Half the cast were so one dimensional. The cousin(literally what did she want? her whole thing was to remind us Rak's mom likes gigolos, okay, and?), the bum arse dad who showed up only to be a bum arse, and the actress friend who apparently likes whinny overreacting girls. The only characters I felt carried and kept my attention was that little girl, Meena (great actor, played her role really well), and Mahasamut. Fort have improved in his acting since LITA. Of course Peat to some degree as well, though a few cringy scenes. Hopefully they’d will improve even more in their next drama.

And were we supposed to feel sorry for Rak in the finale? cuz my arse was just annoyed. Literally, when they got together I was like, yaay?... sure, happy ending. Cuz, after everything Mut did, he still didn't want to commit to a serious relationship? Sure he had problems to work through, but after everything, even being the one to mend you and your mother's relationship, he still didn't want to admit his feelings, acting like a spoiled kid. His behaviour in the finale made me wanna throw tiny rocks at him. He did eventually realize his feelings, but at that point I’d already checked out, so instead of being sad and crying when they got together, I checked how much time was left.

That being said, Rak's fashion sense was cool, his short shorts were on point, and I love how he saw Mut and went, 'I went it, I get it. You like my island boy toy, geez thanks, just got him.' But his constant 'I don't love you' act annoyed the hell out of me.

Up until Mahasamut beat up Rak's bum arse dad, I was half/half on his character, liked him cuz he had no shame, and he was honest. After the beat-up he became my fav character. Imo, him mostly, and the chemistry he had with Rak was the saving grace of this sinking ship. Still can't believe he got that tattoo and ruined his beautiful neck, child, if you wanna forget someone get a hobby, don't ruin your skin.

Also the two female side couples went nowhere, and did we need to know the actress friend spoke french? It was so random, and a waste of screen time, cuz it had no follow up whatsoever. And that assistant girl. Do people really find whinny people adorable and cute? Because like, every time she showed up, I wanted to put a bag over her head, which is unfortunate, cuz the actress was so beautiful, but the role she was given to act was just unfortunate.

And I'm still not sure what that cousin girl who threw water in her own face wanted? Whenever she was on screen talking about whatever I was like, okay sure, whoever you are. What the hell did she want from Rak and why was she so angry her auntie likes gigolos? Did I miss the explanation?

Anyway, I remember all of us being in shock in that unholy shower episode, and counting wrappers, the tl was fun that day. Although there wasn't much going on here, and things felt flat to me, if you are a FortPeat fan, you'll sure enjoy this drama a lot, cuz their chemistry is still very great. So I'll recommend it. If not for anything, watch for the chemistry and Rak's fashion.

Sea of Wasted Potential with Weak Story and Fragmented Chemistry!

I had expectations from this drama but was ultimately disappointed! We had 10 episodes and such a weak narrative throughout!
When they were on the beach , it at least provided the visual appeal and was at least enough to keep me engaged in the story but as soon the story shifted to the city , it went downhill !
It felt one dimensional and boring!
Nothing substantial happened and the things that did happen didn't contribute to a positive development nor seemed necessary.

Coming to acting, Fort as Mut carried the whole show single handedly. His acting has improved and felt natural but in the case of Peat , the whole cold ML role was very unconvincing often coming off as overreaction.
Yes , the chemistry between them was there and was good but was very fragmented and inconsistent.
The tantrum that Rak threw in the last episode shows he literally had no to zero character development. And his sudden epiphany in the last 10 minutes felt rushed and unnatural. It might be impressive if the realisation came a few episodes earlier to make it more sincere.

And the other GL couple, they felt too forced. Vivi's treatment of Khaimuk didn't look like playful teasing to me. Treating the one you like as a slave and troubling them is not funny in my books! We are not in kindergarten where we tease the one we love to get their attention!

Even the friendship between all the characters felt utterly superficial, and I felt no emotional connection whatsoever!

Overall , I see only a sea of wasted potential with a weak story , underdeveloped characters with  fragmented chemistry!

comedy missing the point...

While I can get Tongrak & Mahasamut story, I don't get the GL part... Is it me or don't you court someone you like with annoying requests and silly excuses? This irked me the most.

The characters in general are very one-dimensional, there isn't much of a development. Also all the drama elements felt a bit forced and cliché. Tongrak's buying sex-service is not a good point but it's life. The only thing which was clear from the beginning (for me) was that Mahasamut did not really do it for the money. He was interested in Tongrak from the get-go. But there's where the story almost ends. At least I understand why Tongrak acts as he does, shunning his feelings but be overwhelmed by them anyways. This leads also into excessive sex-scenes due to Tongraks "buying" Mahasamut. While japanese BLs show mostly too few (with some exceptions), Thai BLs choose too many and this fan-service is appreciated as I can see from most reviews and ratings here. In the end Tongraks overcomes his fear of love but it took too long of a time for me.

Tongrak's niece was the highlight of the show giving it a bit of flavour uncommon to most BLs. I don't find it surprising a 13 year old girl said that uncles new man is sexy, that should not surprise anyone, that's also normal nowadays.

I would have purged the script of all the silly comedic scenes, have either skipped the GL or altered it into something mature, to have a contrast to the dark outlook from the BL. Then this show could have been done in 6 or 8 episodes. Why did the producers choose to have a dark story for the MLs and to contrast them with mostly silly comedy for the GL? For me It breaks the flow and since episode 1 everyone should have understood there is something wrong with Tongrak. But maybe the writers wanted to be close to the source material or they thought that this is the way to go, I don't know. For me it was the wrong way.

Production quality was high with beautiful shots of the island which were too few imho. The ML did a good job overall especially Peat, the GL were good in serious scenes. Due to the handling of the story, this is a subpar show. Good chemistry does not save a bad BL, sensual sex-scenes don't either. It's sad that people don't invest time to think about the story and understand what's wrong with it.

But as the ratings show, sex sells, so it's again a sad day for Thai BLs with declining quality plots, writing and execution. This year seems to be a new low for Thai BLs with a lot of crap shows and a lot of medicore shows. As long as people like such shows, they will produce such shows and the quality will diminish further.

good chemistry (watch suggestions)

Overall: gorgeous visuals and good chemistry but the plot wasn't for me. This was based on a book "Love Sea" written by MAME which I haven't read and I reviewed the series on its own merits. 10 episodes about 50 minutes each. Aired on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/love-sea-episode-1-214nh5b3jss?lang=en_us and Me Mind Y's YouTube Channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLFnFjT24wVPVSz08c1vwf6_uNZbuR5chv&si=SqVu_g5ljGLNiQ1Y (worldwide except Japan). There is an extra scene after the initial credits in episodes and at the very end of the last episode. Me Mind Y also produced: Wedding Plan, Love In The Air, Don't Say No & TharnType.

Content Warnings: past child abuse and intimate partner violence, blood, manhandling, trauma/mental health struggles, colorism, non con touching turned consensual, punch, coercion

Watch Suggestions (focuses on the main couple and cuts out a lot of villains/angst)
- watch episodes 1-3
- watch episode 4, 13:45-20, 43:30-47, 52:30 to the end
- watch episode 5, could skip 23:30-46:25 which was some of the GL and an annoying character
- watch episode 6, beginning to 15:20, 19:20-24, 49:15-end
- watch episode 7, beginning to 13, cameo at 36 min and 39-43
- start episode 8 at 8, brief hug at 17, watch 28:50-31:12, 35-45:30, 58 to the end
- start episode 9 at 15:20
- watch episode 10, beginning to 10 and then to skip a lot of moping angst start at 1hr4min and watch until the end (extra scene at the very end)

What I Liked
- scuba diving intro/scenery
- visuals
- supportive brother/wingman and Vie was also supportive
- chemistry/intimate scenes
- sweet moments
- indicated condom usage
- a public service announcement about the importance of coral reefs
- good that Tongrak stands up for Mahasamut in episode 5
- easter egg of the Love Sea book
- cameo in episode 7
- child actor did a good job
- Mahasamut was intelligent, had pretty solid communication but also had self-respect

Room For Improvement
- had a bit of whiplash/reactions in first episodes
- comedy sound effects like a baby crying detracted from the comedy
- an evil character got punched but then there was the 'we'll contact the police if he does terrible stuff again' nonsense
- 'because the writer said so stuff' i.e. Vie's "plan", a character acted unrealistically whiny

Another good bl series from me mind y

Our boys are back and we love to see them. Peat does an excellent job as Tongrak. The cheeky bastard and the snooty diva! The dark skin against the fair skin! The push and pull of immediate intense attraction! Isn't it great when one of your favorite couples come back with even more chemistry and charisma than before 🥰

The first episode was everything! Peat is oh so desirable and Fort looks good enough to eat. Connor knew what he was doing when he sent Mahasamut those pictures of a sleeping Tongrak. I can bet Mahasamut fell for him right then. Tongrak didn't take long to fall for him either. It's obvious that he is fighting his attraction for the annoying but irresistible Mahasamut with all he has. It's a losing battle already and he hasn't even been on the island for 2 days 😄 Mahasamut comforting a crying Tongrak took me back to the last episode of LITA. Don't we love a protective king 🤗

PS. Fort here reminded me so much of the young Shahrukh Khan (superstar of Indian films). The same cocky attitude that hides a romantic heart. The same cheeky grin and wayward hair. The same warm gaze. My boy is a star! 🥹

No wonder they are the happiest Thai actors today. It cannot be any other way: after two series forming a ship that attracts millions of viewers, Thitipong Sangngey and Wasuthorn Chaijindar (FortPeat, as they are known) finally star in a series, the one they always dreamed of, and the one we have waited for BL lovers in general and followers of these two actors in particular.
Yes, we already saw him lead the cast of 'Love in The Air' (2022), but there they were the secondary couple, while in 'Wedding Plan' (2023) they played roles of little weight in the story and little presentation on screen. On both occasions they left us wanting more.
The opportunity to show off their acting skills, their beautiful faces and physical attributes comes from Ne Neti Suwanjinda, the director who has always chosen them to put them in front of the camera since the entertainment industry, very intelligently and correctly, paired them, to tell us the love story between Tongrak, a writer looking for inspiration for his most recent novel, and Mahasamut, a resident of an island in the south of Thailand who was tasked with taking care of the visitor.
In the first two episodes of the series (those that have been viewed for this review), the protagonists will find themselves trapped in a stormy, fiery and sensual relationship full of sex and endless days and nights, where love will set the course of their lives new lives while both fight to achieve their respective dreams.
'Love Sea' is a new-adult dramatic and romantic series with an aspirational LGBTIQ+ theme narrated in a dynamic, vibrant way and with a realistic treatment of the most current youth conflicts, all accompanied by beautiful and cheerful music and exquisite cinematography.
Based on the novel of the same name by prolific BL MAME screenwriter and director Orawan Vichayawannakul, whom Net called on now as on other occasions, the series tells the spectacular and improbable story of Tongrak (played by Peat) and Mut (role assumed by Fort), two young dreamers with nothing in common, whose destinies cross unexpectedly.
Tongrak has it all, a good financial position and enjoys success after publishing several novels, some of them brought to television as BL series. But despite this, he lives in a state of constant frustration caused by several unresolved problems in his life and by currently suffering from writer's block. Furthermore, he does not believe in love, considering that it only lives in the imagination.
The journey of Peat's character is the most interesting one made, since in his contact with Mut we can see his reproach for being ashamed of his past and the wounds of his soul that have yet to heal. Thus, the creation of Tongrak and its motivations are very interesting and gain the public's favor.
For his part, Mut is a humble young man, who carries the trauma caused by having been expelled from home by his father at the age of 15 and, despite having to resort to pretending about himself to others in order to make his way in life and get a roof over his head and a plate of food, he has become a leader of the locals and the force behind the local people.
Each one, in their own way, faces an existential crisis that can lead them to failure, to lose what they have achieved so far, so they have no choice but to join forces and embark on the same path that will lead them to know each other better and perhaps...
United by destiny, when their lives intersect, they embark on a transformative journey together that represents both an escape from their complicated presents and traumatic pasts and a search for love, happiness and their place in the world. These are questions that almost all of us have experienced, or on which almost all of us have reflected, at some point in our lives. Especially in our twenties, which is the age that Mut and Tongrak are around, and the time when doubts about our present and our future are most crowded.
For her part, MAME cannot hide her happiness. Although at first his style left us with some red flags, such as 'Love By Chance' or 'TharnType', today he seems to have found his voice by giving an evolution to his stories to keep fans of the genre happy, especially with that HOT touch that all BL fans love.
The ForthPeak junction, a visual and spiritual gift for so many viewers around the world, would give good returns to the creators of the series, especially through a drama that has its main strength in the clarity with which this story is conceived on paper, the pulse with which the direction channels them through the setting on screen, and the way the two actors defend it, in characters with characterological richness and infinite nuances that only they know how to add in their assumption.
One of the great things about 'Love Sea', and one that the production team cared a lot about, was showing the paradisiacal environment and the natural settings that serve as the setting for the erotic-existential journey of two young people in love and that provide truth and essence, because if there is a place that wins by a landslide, it is that southern Thai island, the meeting place of the protagonists and where their romance takes place. Having been able to record in that place is one of the great achievements of the drama, since it is integrated in an outstanding way into its DNA.
'Love Sea' effectively combines the conventions of the romantic genre and a fresh visuality by placing the narrative heroes in a natural and paradisiacal environment, which also takes center stage, to which is added the bill of the presentation and farewell, and the curtains of Transition.
So far, the performance of actresses and actors has been, in general, high, and the combination of young figures with other already established ones was among the most successful. It was especially appreciated to once again enjoy Forth Kashane Pichetsopon, Ja Phachara Suansri, Boss Chaikamon Sermsongwittaya, Noeul Nuttarat Tangwai, An Oliver Poupart, Jinjuta Rujirakumthonchai Liu, Ivy Phattaree Tassananakajit and Chanya Amarit Duval. Kevin Tray will provide his voice as Conner.
The best thing about the MAME-Net binomial's staging lies in its way of capturing the love and physical contact between Mut and Tongrak, materialized in the hugs, kisses and sex they share in different situations: at the bottom of the ocean , on board a moving yacht or during their sexual encounters both on the sand of the beach and in the resort room, where the eyes, lips, hands... the entire body of one travels over the body of the other and vice versa. The latent desire between them is subtly filmed through gestures and glances, which communicate everything that is not expressed verbally. But how much is there left to express when in one way or another everything has been said... or almost everything?
The direction knows how to give credibility to the sex scenes and the dialogues exhibit enough youthful nihilism and naturally.
Fort and Peat consolidate themselves as a ship with great aspirations to continue being one of the most anticipated by the public, and as two actors with attitudes in abundance after 'Wedding Plan' or especially 'Love in the Air'. Their respective Mut and Tongrak work from the beginning because of their talent and also because their characters' status as people called to surpass themselves gives them the strength to stand out dramatically.
