Love of Silom (Uncut Ver.) (2026)

Love of Silom Delivers Everything I Wanted and More

This series came in strong and instantly set the bar high. After two years, seeing Poom and Up reunite feels like a full circle moment, and they return with something that feels fresh, grounded, and genuinely engaging. From the very first episodes, the show pulls you into its world with a sense of realism that makes the story feel alive rather than overly polished or artificial.
What stands out most is how natural everything feels. The setting, the struggles, and the emotions all come across as believable without trying too hard. There is a perfect balance between intensity and lighter moments, with just enough action and tension to keep things exciting while still allowing space for warmth and character growth. Nothing feels forced or cringey, which is honestly rare.

What I especially love is how well the series balances its many different elements. It moves effortlessly between police investigations, fight scenes, criminal cases, the bar setting, hosting, male stripping, and family life without ever feeling cluttered or losing focus. Every aspect serves a purpose and adds something meaningful to the story. The family moments are especially memorable, with Singto easily becoming one of the highlights of the series. Watching Wayu as a devoted dad and Krit embrace his role as Papa brings so much heart and warmth to the show. Their little family is incredibly sweet, and those moments provide the perfect emotional balance to the more intense parts of the story.

Poom brings a quiet strength to Wayu that makes him incredibly easy to root for. You can feel his determination and emotional depth without it being overplayed. Up, on the other hand, nails the guarded and distant nature of Krit while still letting subtle vulnerability slip through. Watching that emotional wall slowly shift is one of the most satisfying parts of the show.
And the chemistry is undeniable. It is not just about big dramatic moments but also the small, intimate details that make their connection feel real. A glance, a smile, a simple gesture carries so much weight. Those s ofter scenes are what truly make the relationship shine and pull you in emotionally.

What makes this series special is how it respects its characters. There is no unnecessary judgment or exaggerated conflict just for drama. Instead, it focuses on connection, growth, and the quiet ways people change each other’s lives.
This is easily one of the strongest Thai BLs this year. It is heartfelt, engaging, and beautifully acted, with a story that already feels meaningful

Not as bad as "Dare You to Death"...

As usual with "police dramas" - the police work makes no sense and is completely unbelievable.... Then we also have the lazy writing especially of Wayus mom. Gambling addiction does not "heal" over night. I mean they have team of four writers and all of them can't put a realistic story to paper. And of course we have the 08/15 cliché homophobe father, who this time, did not die but made a 180 degrees turn in a matters of days.

And whats with all the dancing throughout every episode? Yes he is a host, yes he is sexy and yes he can dance, but we don't need to be reminded of it every damn episode... it was just a filler to strech out the episodes. Especially the first half of the show was too much lacorn for my taste.

There are some redeeming properties of this show, especially the involvment of a special needs kid was a nice touch. There is no doubt about their chemistry either, but the acting was a bit meh. I think the support actors/actresses did a better job.

So overall, I don't agree with the hyped reviews here again - as mostly usual. I don't think it's a bad show, but it's not good either. At least it was all framed quite nicely, so production quality was well enough. It's a show you can watch, but not a show you must watch.
