Love on Lo - feels like a very looooong advert or music video
Ok so reading the synopsis suggested it was more BL than it was. You have two guys staying at a 2 bed resort and one loses his keys and has to share with the other on NYE.This is a 2 episode series with very little happening. I left thinking maybe they were advertising one of the following
1. Lo
2. The photo /video app on the phone
3. The OST??
4. New Years Eve
I really don't know. The one thing is that the beach IS beautiful and if you can ignore the staff at the resort it's not a complete waste of time but, it either needed to be longer or have more of a point .
I'd skip this one as it feels more like a pilot for something or an advert

seaside romcom
Overall: there were some nice parts in this short seaside romcom which has exaggerated humor from the side characters. Aired on WeTV in 2 parts with 55 minutes of total runtime.What I Liked
- cute moments
- beach/seaside setting
- kind of made sense why they had to room together
Room For Improvement
- they needed to cut out 2 of the 3 supporting characters and use that time more on the leads getting to know each other
- over the top humor and the comedy sound effects weren't funny
- needed just a little bit more at the end

Cute, too short and had some unnecessary characters.
Overall the story was cute. I thought the two male leads were good enough for these small roles.The resort staff gal was annoying. I'm tired of lame fujoshi female characters in BL's.
Both the one guy's boss and the other guy's... whatever she was... were completely unnecessary characters. There was no reason for the phone calls with either of those gals.
If the resort staff gal was more normal and less of a goofy, obnoxious fujoshi and you cut out the phone calls with the other two females and gave the two male leads more time together then I could have scored this significantly higher. Maybe even do one more episode, because the sweet story between the leads was decent.

NOT RECOMMENDED or RECOMMENDED TO BE WATCHED ON 4x.
Premise: A romance story about a photographer meeting a fellow traveler on a beach and slowly falling in love over the course of a few days.GOOD:
- CINEMATOGRAPHY: Very beautiful location. The show also had an almost dream like quality to it.
AVERAGE:
- ACTING: Acting was okay. There weren't any awkard moments but the show is just to bland to allow the actors to show off any real acting.
BAD:
- PLOT: The show feels pointless. Nothing seems to be going on and at the end of the show, we are left with a "that's it?" feeling. The show spends most of its runtime showing the photographer taking photos or the two of them eating or walking around. This show just feels extremely incomplete and makes you wonder if it had been meant as a pilot.
- LACK OF BL: Everything here seemed to be heavily implied. The characters aren't together at the end of the show and no confessions has taken place. If you wanted, this could be counted as bromance.
- PACE: The pace of this show is so slow it can be considered boring. As mentioned before, nothing seems to be happening and there are no character development to speak of.
- CHARACTERS: The characters themselves are so bland that it is difficult to comment on them. The show doesn't spend much time building them up.
- OPEN ENDING: The show ends with the characters promising to travel together from now on but we have no idea how long that will last.
CONCLUSION: NOT RECOMMENDED or RECOMMENDED TO BE WATCHED ON 4x.

About the story
Well Love on Lo is a typical seaside rom-com. About the story it's very common and typical not so special about it but I love the aesthetics that they used.About the acting it must be improved ( I mean everyone ) and I noticed that the girl in the resort and the boss are overacting and fo the couple their acting and their facial expressions must be improved.
Well this is moreover like a commercial for the resort and in the end they still called each other friends, and the ending of the story is rushed I man the whole story is rushed. They could've add a few more episodes and make it a bit longer so it won't me so confusing for the viewers.
About the rating I liked their OST it's really good and hype. Story and the acting must be improved and the rewatch value I don't think that thee is something to rewatch. Overall the series is not that bad but this isn't a must watch series and I'm not reccomending it to watch. It's your choice whether you're gonna watch it or not.

Pretty beach, handsome men
I started this one on a whim: I was in the mood for a short BL and it fitted the bill! The first thing I noticed was the emptiness: there was nobody around in this resort on a New Year's Eve! It looked like something which was filmed during pandemic lockdowns: three main characters and that's it!Golf is in Lo on assignment scouting location while Pond is forced to stay because his car broke down. Golf is cheerful and Pond is closed of, stern and too serious looking. They are staying in this tiny hotel on the beach and when Pond loses his key, he has to share Golf's room. Slowly, the reluctant Pond, opens up under the cheerful Golf's influence. Something is brewing between them!
The drama is too short to show more than the way these two meet but we are led to believe that there is a future for the both of them. They were cute and nice together, the characters developed slightly, which is just enough for two days.
The location is pretty but empty so not very convincing as a party spot! The scenery is not shown enough for this to be a resort commercial and the hotel is ridiculously small: actually it is not a hotel but a guest house with two rooms! The side characters were all extremely annoying and unnecessary: the ridiculous, grimacing and OTT hotel receptionist, the ridiculous, grimacing, screaming and OTT Golf's boss. And of course, they had to use an awful amount of comedy sound effects.
Considering all of the above, I am fairly certain that this was filmed at least three years ago because not even Thais do this kind of silly and unnecessary comedy any more! Nevertheless, it is worth the watch for the main couple!

Very comfortable
They were both so cute in very different ways. It's short, but i think it was well executed.I loved the feeling of finding someone that gives you comfort in a stressful situation, and makes you forget about the world because you can only focus on them. A person that doesn't pressure you into opening up, but truly enjoys when you do, even if slowly.
I only deducted points because the sound effects don't really fit the atmosphere. I didn't hate the girl, but she was a bit overwhelming.
I wish there would be a normal lenght series of these two, their chemestry and dynamic were so good. It felt very wangxian kin XD

Terminada...
La acabo de terminar, es una serie super suave, no es la mejor, y no se si en el futuro la quiera repetir, no causa gran emoción, y ya veré mas adelante si recuerdo un poco de la trama, como acabo de verla aun la tengo en mi mente. Es una mini serie que realmente no es muy relevante.Debo admitir que es bien lindo el OST de la serie, aun tengo la musica grabada, posible la canción principal la guarde en mi playlist, creo que fue lo mejor de la historia.
Como dije, es poco probable que la vuelva a ver o que repita escenas, creo que la escenas mas divertida fue con su jefa al ver al protagonista en toalla, pero cuando vez toda la escena completa no es mas que sosa, ósea la serie completa es igual. No siento que pase nada interesante en toda ella...
La recomiendo? no creo... no es para todo el mundo, pero quizas alguien que quiere iniciar en el BL y aun no desea escenas fuertes o muy sensuales entre los protagonista, creo que es una serie para este tipo dude publico.
