Love Sea

Slow burn with a side of stress

Love Sea is a pretty average series for me, to be honest. What really got on my nerves was Rak’s character, haha! He’s just so cold and serious all the time. It felt like he was carrying the weight of the world on his shoulders, and despite being a successful, wealthy writer, he never seemed genuinely happy.

Watching the series actually felt kind of stressful. It gives me headaches. I get that his behavior stems from childhood trauma and being brainwashed by his father, but come on he’s a grown man now. At some point, you gotta stand up for yourself.

The romance was a major slow burn, like really slow. Even with Mut putting in so much effort to connect with him, Rak barely responded or he responded negatively. It got frustrating after a while. A lot of intimates scenes that makes zero sense. It is understandable if the story is about FWB but hey they tagged it as romance.

The secretary she is very annoying, I can't tolerate her. The GL story is not exciting at all, no chemistry between them. Girls' acting was terrible. I feel like the director or writer just gave them a screen time to make the series lengthy.

That said, I’ve got to give props to the visuals, the beach setting was absolutely stunning. At least it was nice to look at, even if the story felt heavy.

está buena pero no tan buena

okay empecemos con lo bueno.
es una historia llena de escenas nc que Dios te vuela la cabeza, la historia empieza buenisima, como se van encontrando ambos, la historia secundaria es hermosa también, el conflicto se entendió bien el porque rak no quería que mahasamut se enamorara de él muy bonito y todo peeero ya empezamos con lo malo, la historia estuvo lenta, entre capítulos no había conexiones, te abrumabas de repente y tenía que estar poniendo velocidad de 2x porque estaba muy lenta, no me gustó que no hayan dado un desarrollo a la historia secundaria de las chicas solo hubo un beso h de ahí jamás se habló de un desarrollo de relación ni nada, no me gustó que hayan puesto muchos conflictos porque no hubo un cierre bien hecho en estos. no conocimos a los papás de ambos, pero si se mencionan, no pude empatizar mucho con la historia 🥴 no se para mi es un véanla pero cuando tengan mucho mucho tiempo 😂

Why do all BL shows use one song on repeat?!

I adore Fort and Peat, and I will forever watch anything they are in. I did like and enjoy aspects of Rak and Mut's relationship; it was flawed, and a little toxic at times, but what relationship isn't?

I know all shows will have secondary couples, but I did not understand why they bothered to try to make Vie and Mook a couple. They didn't have much chemistry; it was portrayed as one-sided to me, and they didn't receive the screen time they would have needed to make me believe in their relationship. Plus, nothing happened. We see one kiss, but the rest of the time is Vie messing with Mook, it was very 'second-grade grade being mean to show you like someone.' Not to mention the show just ignores them at the end, and you have no clue what's happening with them.

Now Meena? She was an absolute delight; I love her and her character. I loved watching Fort and Peat act with a child I hope they can do that more.

The whole storyline with Rak's father and cousin was a bit irritating and repetitive. I didn't understand why his mom was still paying for his dad and his lifestyle when they were no longer together. Are they still together? It wasn't clear on that. Plus, Rak is a rich, successful writer, if he really wanted his dad to stay away from him, his sister, and niece, why not get a restraining order, or, I don't know, involve the police for the child endangerment and abuse? Why pay him money?

Mut getting a tattoo in honor/to remember Rak by is a total simp move and a little weird.

The show does end kind of abruptly. I'm glad we got a special episode that will hopefully clear some stuff up and maybe even expand on the whole Vie/Mook relationship.

Medium

I am not going to write a long text , but this is overall an 3/5 drama. I loved the acting and the couple - BUT there is litterary no story. Nothing is really happening and that is the case throughout the entire series. There are some elements that makes me a little more excited (like the dad issue), but those moments lasts litterary 1-2 episodes. Again, the story regarding the immideate couple and the acting is good, this had a potential to be very good overal. it would have been better to shorten the amount of episodes to remove some of the "deadtime". this would have really helped

The last episode was really good, almost the reason alone I give it above 5

Sidenote: I really liked that they had a girl/girl couple as well.

I had high hopes

After the excitement of LITA this overall fell kind of flat. I was super excited to see FortPeat’s chemistry back on screen in another drama so I may have placed the bar too high.

This started off pretty strong and had an interesting storyline. Episode 1 had me super excited caused me to be locked in to every episode weekly, but the show fell off somewhere in the middle which for me made the second half of the show boring and felt like it dragged on unnecessarily. It felt like the script fell flat and the cast didn’t have much to work with towards the end

*insert face-palming here*

Fort carried the show. It was quite fun to see him as a house husband from his role as playboy-rich kid-CEO in Love in the Air. I was surprised at how good he is at the emotional scenes as well. Big kudos to him.

Peat... well, as a tsundere black cat, he's pretty decent, but for the emotional scenes - Lord Jesus, no. The man cannot act in emotional scenes. Whenever it comes to scenes where he has to panic or worse, cry, everything goes straight to hell. He cannot do it. We saw it in Love in the Air, and it repeats itself here. I'm not one to support typecasting, but he needs to stick to the cold tsundere roles for now and enroll in classes to help with the more emotional scenes.

Side note - I'd like to see Fort in 2 other types of roles - As a mafia daddy (the man is hot when angry), and as the emotional, crybaby, golden retriever top. Not only does he do well in the emotional scenes as mentioned, but his smile is beautiful and would work perfectly in a golden retriever role.

The GL couple was a good addition, but they weren't consistent, especially with Mook. From the get-go, Vie was into her, but Mook wasn't presented as gay in the beginning - just as a bullied, confused, clueless, and overworked assistant. I think if they became an official GL couple, they'd do well with a better storyline. The girl who plays Vie is a good actress - the girl who plays Mook needs a different role for me to judge, but she's really cute. Loved how they dressed her.

Actually, everyone but Peat was dressed/styled really well. Whatever they were trying to do with Peat's styling didn't work, especially the tucked-in look at the beach. No. Just no

This is one of the most interesting bl drama I've ever watched.

It's is quite engaging. Only Peat and Fort could do this so well. Like whenever Peat bites his lips looking at Fort, I almost lose myself. It is cute when 'Rak tries to deny his love 'Mut but we all know that he is sooo in love. And this drama also summoned the whole LITA fandom. the guest roles for Boss and Noeul made me feel like I was in heaven. I look forward to LITA part 2 ors smthng. Ohh, I'm sooo inlove with LITA gang. I really really recommend this for the newbies to bl drama's. And of course LITA. I just finished this. I love it. Sad that the drama has ended. but i hope there's a special episode. I would love one.

THEY GOT US AT FIRST TWO EPISODES ONLY

I am sorry , I have decided to drop this one, only the first 2 episodes were promising, and the next episode were ridiculous, I didn't understood why the leads had sex on first episodes and then on the later episodes , Tongrak seems shy again like nothing happened between them when Mahasamut started flirting with him, Tongrak acted as if Mahasamut has not touched him yet.
The taking Mahasamut to Bangkok was I thought exciting but It was not, its like almost is never enough feeling like I did not know what hindered the momentum, I was irritated with the assistant girl with her worried face and expression, she is pretty but , the way she acted and always washing her face with that expression was so annoying, and she is so annoying over all from the very start and the contract with Mahasamut it was overused ! like have they even thought of a different plot? and it was all over acting , like Tongrak have taken Mahasamut to Bangkok and then suddenly There was a contract ?? Mahasamut is a dumb ,
I cannot go on any longer with this drama , I felt bad I wanted to see more of Fortpeat , maybe I'll check later if they are gonna have a new drama together , I hope for a better story. This is only my opinion pls don't hate me, if the drama doesn't suit on my taste , well maybe suited with others , it's okay , if you think you can waste you time with this, its fine go for it , but me? naaa

Mixed feelings about this BL

I have never seen the two leads before, so I cannot compare it to their previous roles. I dont even know who they are. I saw many reviewers giving a 10 to this series, which I find interestingly funny. What? 10 for a drama which is quite flat, no suspense, no romantic sparks? I find both guys irritating. The synopsis above only mentions the "irritating Southern guy" when in fact the writer is much more irritating to me. I just couldn't stand his spoiled, arrogant city boy attitude, and yet I kept on watching this series. Ha ha.

I'm already watching episode 3 now. Yes, you get a glimpse of the family and past lives of both leads, but it all seems like being 'cut and paste" for the audience to hear. Not sure how they will fit into the story. I also don't get the connection with the side couple, an actress and a secretary, and dont see how their role fits into the story . This is not a BL which makes me anxiously wait for each week. Ther is no excitement. It does not make me feel emotionally involved with the story. But oh well, Im patient enough to see what will eventually happen with the two guys. So maybe I'll just binge-watch it when it comes to the end or near the end.

I may change my mind later, but so far the only things I like are the scenery: the sea and the beach and the two leads' cute faces.

"To your uncle, 8 isn't a number. it's infinity."

I've watched this series every week since the day episode one came out. I originally started it because I enjoyed the actors, but I quickly fell in love with the plot. Throughout the story, you get to see how generational trauma can have a strong hold on people. Even down to the last episode, Tongrak suffered due to his past. I found this feature incredibly realistic. many shows like this show characters "coping" with trauma and getting over it in just a few episodes, and it can often feel like a mockery to real trauma. this story did a wonderful job. 10/10. (8/10 for Tongrak)

A Rather Deep Series

This series is exceptional, surprisingly. I was not expecting it to affect me as deeply as it did, but one had to frankly get through a lot of cacophony to get to the story. But once you did, and evaluated that, it was much deeper than most viewers, I think, realized. It honestly left me emotionally drained. This series, I felt. What brought this series down and unfortunately way down was the awful peripheral (I guess) GL portion. I am not sure the reason to throw that into the mix as it added nothing to the story. If I were doing this story, I would have begun with the last episode as the first and then told the story of how they got there. Only them, with then the essential figures influencing the story. We could undoubtedly have understood what made both ‘tick’. These two are fascinating individuals and I wanted to know who they were. All we saw were glimpses and shadows of who they were. I did not want to find that out only in the end. The two of them fascinated me as a couple.

It’s an entertaining show

As expected from Thai series , especially from MAME, the first episode so far is just about the chemistry of Lead actors and their acting skills… After reading the book, the story has solid plot. But just waiting to see how it transpires in the series.
The lead characters are Tongrak and Mahasamut. Mahasamut is playful, happy go lucky but playfully annoying to Tongrak. While Tongrak is fragile but arrogant kitten type. They both had their own traumas from past.
From 1st episode I can say, their chemistry on screen is so good. Tongrak/Peat is so beautiful while Mut is handsome. They carried the emotional scene so well.
It’s a good entertainer so far.
