spectacular give me 14 of them
this is my first time watching a thai gl series and i can say that i'm not disappointed at all!i loved everything about it - the acting, the story and the chemistry between the two main actresses. it has the perfect combination between wholesome and steamy, i couldn't get enough of wan and pleng scenes i wanted more and more
my only problem was with the music that was really repetitive but i learned that since there was only one couple that's why there was only one song that was played over and over again. another thing that was kind of weird was the siblings storyline
other than that it is a really good series and i recommend it wholeheartedly! it set a standard for other gl series

What i liked:- LMSY acting was phenomenal, between the romantic chemistry and the friendly banter they impersonated what a friendship to lovers story should be about. The fact that they are both beautiful didn't hurt ;).
- The OST was wonderful, it matched perfectly with the story and i liked how interwoven it was in the story
- The cinematography was done beautifully
- Episodes 4,5 and 6
- I really enjoyed Earth's character and actor, not only it showed how you could handle rejection appropriately but that you can have a relationship after being rejected.
What i felt neutral about:
- As i said before i loved the OST, but i felt it was overused and i think that having another song would have made the hole viewing experience much better.
- The story as a hole was a little iffy. I felt Pleng lacked motive as a character and Wan was very controlling. Also the resolution for the almost sibling situation was rough, Pleng was about to leave Wan's apartment when she read the letter the later left her, so why did she then said that it did not matter?
- Episodes 1,2 and 3
What i disliked:
- Ek's actor. I am really sorry, but not only was he overused, every time he appeared on camera i felt i was watching a high school production, he took me right out of the story.
- The loud background music that in some scenes distracted from what was happening and made it hard to listen to what was going on.
- Episodes 7 and 8 (Did Frank and Earth really need any more screen time? Did they really need to redeemed the cheating, gun wielding husband? Did he need a love story? Couldn't they have used this time to flush out a little bit more Wan-Pleng relationship (mainly when they were in a happy place?) )
Rewatch value:
I would rewatch the first 6 episodes and then the last 5 minutes of part 4 of episode 8 to give a closure to the story, the rest, no.
Final thoughts:
Truth is i would rate it at an actual 7.5/8 considering the hole series, i really disliked how the story was handled in the last 2 episodes but LMSY gave such a heartfelt performance i couldn't bring myself to rate it any lower.

my opinion!!
I've never been into Thai gls until I started tsou in late July, I liked it, so I explored more into the Thai gl shows, I've watched blank, 23.5, dream and when affair was released it was suggested on my YouTube and I watched it cause why not, I had no idea what goes on in it, or how the storyline would play out but let me say, right after watching the first episode I said I think this one would be a rlly good one, and man I was right I was hooked!!after the 3rd episode I could NOT be patient at all to wait so I read the novel in 7 hours.
my point is this is the best show I've watch and the acting, the storyline/plotline is amazing, it has drama, emotions everything is involved and it's beautifully carried out in Affair.
Lookmhee and Sonya's acting in Affair is absolutely stunning, how they convey the emotions of wan and pleng, the longing need for eachother after 13 years being apart it's insanely good. They're so good at showing emotion that I could feel what they feel, it's beautiful.
For music yes, I'm literally obsessed with the OST that I listen to it on repeat on Spotify. beautiful meaning, great beat it's a great Ost song.
As for love scenes. it's great. no words. great chemistry just great omg. and the whole show is just a cinematic masterpiece sooo guys pls watch it!!
Rewatch value is 10/10 cause I've been rewatching since the show came out while waiting for the epsiode to come out, it's such a good show I'll definitely rewatch the whole thing after a few weeks cause rn I'm real sad about it ending and to rewatch I need to mourn the show a bit.
I'm so glad LMSY got another project together, they did amazing in Affair and I'm so happy they're well known now. still quite sad on how Affair being underrated.

HATE it first, LIKE it later
Well, this series in kinda different from other series like Blank, GAP, TSOU, etc.If we know GL series always have a sugar daddy from the begin to the end, this series is totally talking about how to be rich for the one that you love.
Honest to say, I hate 3 first episode when they talk about Pleng and Wan young life. Pleng is a rich kid, while Wan is just a maid kid who is luckily, can attend the same school as Pleng.
But, everything change when Pleng parent die and Pleng decided to leave Wan.
13 years passed and Wan finally find Pleng. The love is still stong, even they have a different status.
Wan work hard to become rich, so she can save and protect Pleng.
Otherside, Pleng is keep feel useless and guilty, and what I hate most is Pleng also the one who easily to hurt Wan.
No matter how hard Wan fight for her.
I like the soundtrack when they sing it together. This series make me think at the first place like, ahh, Pleng is a straight woman ? Really ??
Watch this make me realize that one side love is exist until today.
We love much, we hurt much, and it is soo soo damn tired.
After watching this, I am wonder.
If we act like Wan, if we are really tired and choose to be gone.
Will we find someone like Pleng who will looking us ?
It think.... we will really gone LOL
