i just started watching ep1, i feel like the background sounds is broken
don't watch it on youtube. the sound is best on official platforms like youku or gagaoolala. if you're not watching it on these 2 platforms then you should watch it from here instead. i feel like ppl are watching two completely different quality of series when watching the faulty youtube upload when the score/sound is one of the most masterful aspects of this series. https://kisskh.co/Drama/I-Feel-You-Linger-In-The-Air--Uncut-Version-?id=7758&q=true
Hi! Everyone is probably used to seeing me here already. I jotted some thoughts down for this episode but my mind went completely blank after seeing the preview for next week's ep.
Jom not being used to walking so many flights of stair. HE IS ME! #relatable. The glint in Khun Yai’s eyes bc of his excitement to show Jom the Xmas party. I love them. That little noise Jom made when he caught that Khun Yai was lying about not remembering anything from his drunken confession, I’m going through the worst case of cute aggression for Jom. Also can we talk about Khun Yai pulling out the chair for Jom like he's such a classy gentleman... I could understand why Jom likes him... I too... would fall for Khun Yai.
I love they’re finally introducing us plots other than Yai/Jom romance and the mystery fire drama/Fongkaew will accompany us along with the romantic subplot. They’ve made James into such an important character too (god bless the writers of this series). James and Jom’s conversation was soooooo important and I love queer portrayal in here, they’re not afraid to show us GAY in the 1920s and I love hom Jom ominous words of how all of that is “completely normal” and not weird at all. They’re all my precious gay I LOVE THEM. Watching James’ confession, I gotta admit y’all… I slipped a little… Jom/James coulda been saurrrr cute! But like it’s such a heart-warming convo between them (pushing Jom to be a bit braver in love). I
The crazy genre shifts in this drama is insane though. One minute I was so emotional about James/Jom convo, the next I’m laughing out loud being of Khun Yai being Big Sulky Baby to his Jom and then I’m getting chills from the time wormhole scene after Jom draws his Santa Claus picture. I really appreciate how ambitious this production is and how they nail every single genre they’re trying to incorporate into the drama. There is not ONE single missing beat. Everything hits just right for its genre. We cycle exactly back to the first episode horror-ish opening scene tooooo. INGENIOUS! I’m obsessed.
FONGKAEW-JOM SOLIDARITY! This series just keeps giving and giving. I love how we’re getting Jom gradually dispel-ing the prejudices he had about Fongkaew in the first place because he was still mad at her modern descendant for stealing his ex. Jom has always been nice but to have Fongkaew become a new addition of Jom support system in the 1920s is so lovely. I cannot stress how much I’m loving the depth being added to characters in this series.
The highlight of this episode has GOT to go to Khun Yai. I mean I keep talking about how he’s Mr. Darcy every week but this week, Bright Rapheephong absolutely knocked it out in the park with all his facial expressions and gazes. From being an excited puppy in love, to the big sulky baby that he is to the damn confession asking whether he needs to write love poems for Jom to understand him. THIS IS PEAK MR. DARCY AND IM IN LOVE
Cooking as a love language… as a novel reader, i need to applaud the writers for incorporating everything that was crucial in the book even though they’ve completely changed up the orders in which things are happening. BUT IT MAKES SENSE.
THE CONFESSION SCENE IS SO BEAUTIFUL. Khun Yai is so mature and so in love with Jom, I’m actually devastated. Jom shyly accepting Khun Yai’s confession is so adorable. I did NOT know Nonkul could be this adorable and he’s killing meeeeeeee. His little smiles are so infectious because tell me why I have the stupidest grin on my face whenever Jom does his little gay eye smile.
Their first kiss was so tender dear god. The screamed I let out loud to hear Jom and Khun Yai reciting those exact dialogues from the novel. Their gazes, their lingering tension after the kiss. They are so soft I’m absolutely defeated, melted into puddles.
DONT EVEN GET ME STARTED WE’RE GETTING RAIN KISS SCENE NEXT WEEK!?!?!??!?! JOM YAI ALREADY BEING CAUGHT ON BY OTHERS? BALLROOM DANCING SCENE???!?!??! KHUN YAI AND JOM IN THEIR HAPPY ERA SCENES??!?!!? This show needs to stop wow-ing me because I need to keep my low expectations but IFYLITA is making this so hard for me right now.
IFYLITA KEEPS SERVING AND SERVING AND SERVING. THE GORILLA GRIP THIS SERIES HAS ON ME IS UNEXPLAINABLE!

IFYLITA KEEPS SERVING AND SERVING AND SERVING. THE GORILLA GRIP THIS SERIES HAS ON ME IS UNEXPLAINABLE!
this series is my motivation through out the entire week. i cant wait for their love story to finally unfold after ep 6... the drama that comes with this hidden relationship is gonna be saur good
Hi! I just finished the first episode and half of the second episode. Im just wondering where the story will go.…
the story really picks up after ep 3. i suggest you skip ahead to watch ep 4 and 5 to see if it's for you. but ifylita itself is like a slow period romance drama so if you're not in the mood for slowburn romance i think you can try again this series later at another time once you're in the mood. but ep 4 and 5 are particularly great episodes 😊

the story really picks up after ep 3. i suggest you watch ep 4 and 5 to see if it's for you. but ifylita itself is like a slow period romance drama so if you're not in the mood for slowburn romance i think you can come around after. but ep 4 and 5 are particularly great episodes 😊
So I'm back with some preliminary thoughts on Ep 5 The piecing of the mystery aspect of IFYLITA is masterfully done. So the principle is that every time Jom draws, a time-space wormhole thing opens up and he’ll somehow be connected briefly with his present timeline. The production team did a really good job crafting this because honestly this was not made clear at all in the novel. I wonder if they consulted with the author in order to get this narrative cleared but essentially the way this is puzzled and structured is just really well thought out.
Khun Yai is truly the greenest flag my gad. The way Yai was so afraid that he’d done something inapproriate to Jom while being intoxicated lmao. Jom teasing drunk Khun Yai was equally adorable too. When Jom flirtily recited what Khun Yai said to him last night and then jumped when he remembered his place likeeeeee I love how self-aware Nonkul is playing Jom to be. Like you can really feel like this is a Panic Gay from modern time being transported back in time.
I love Ming and his mom’s subplot. It pains me to see him being beaten by Mr. Robert even if I already knew beating houseworkers was a norm back then (that sinister man). Down-beat moments like these give depth to our seemingly comic-relief sidekick and I’m so happy we get to see Ming more than just Jom’s friend.
A particular detail I like is by the end of the conversation where Jom told Yai about Ming’s situation, Jom says “fun dee na krub” (Sweet dreams) to Khun Yai to which he replies “ra tree sawat” (Good night, in the most formal way) and they both smiled at each other. There’s so much tenderness in the ways they say bid adieu and the tension is killing me.
Like I know Ohm is supposedly his cheating ex but damn I love every scene between Khamsaen and Jom so far because Nonkul really brings out all the emotions to show a frustrated heartbroken gay. Jom is over his ex but I love that he can still feel bitter over this couple, because that’s so valid of him.
One thing you have to love about Khun Yai is that he’s so damn intuitive to Jom’s feelings. Even if there’s just a single movement, it’s like Khun Yai can already tell something is troubling Jom or there’s something going on. The series is self-aware about this running gag too, love that little dialogue between them acknowledging it: “I have something bothering me” - “I’m starting to get used to it”
“It’s not strange at all. Are making flower garlands suitable only fit for women?” - Khun Yai destroying gender stereotypes in 1927. WE LOVE YEW SIR.
I think Ming - Mae Prik - Jom subplot in this episode highlights an important theme of this series which is “becoming the maker of one’s destiny”. Ming and Mae Prik have both said something similar about how they just need to accept whatever comes to them in the life of a servant, contrasting to Jom who has been thrown misery after misery but he’s not giving up on accepting things as is, even though things may seem rough. It’s such a shame that we can’t really have season 2 with Jom being sent back to 1800s because I think the point of the novel in having send Jom back twice in history is to have the first Jom be a passive version and the second time Jom be a more active version, determined to do whatever he needs to achieve “happiness”. Regardless, I think Nonkul is doing well to portray the complex person that Jom is to balance out the multi-faceted struggles our cute Jom face being stucked in 1927 and unfortunate events just keep popping up his ways.
Khun Lek is the cutest kid my god. I need this kid to show up in every single episode to give me that 3 minute scene of domesticity from YaiJom because you can simply tell how whipped this man is from the way he’s staring at his little brother playing with his crush likeeeeeee… the dude ain’t hiding AT ALL. You know what this reminds me of, it's like when Mr. Darcy saw how easy Elizabeth got along with his little sister Georgiana. There is just something so sweet when one partner sees their family get along with the person they like #family #future-in-laws.
I praise it every week but like the visual effects and sound really deserves all the praises. I sincerely hope everyone is watching the UNCUT version on Youku Vip (like me) or UNCUT on Gagaoolala because this show has perfect scoring and the sound REALLY adds to the effect of each scenes, especially dramatic and thrilling ones. The Youtube version is said to often have audio issues I think so I hope everyone is able to enjoy the same high-quality level series I'm watching right now
I'm so excited for next week already ahhhhh. The sulky Khun Yai? The classy Pride & Prejudice like confession? I love noble ML who loves to show affection through action more than words but then their partner is just slow so they need to spell it out in big bold letters. I CANNOT WAIT!
Everyone should watch this series.... I really cannot praise it enough... I LOVE EVERY EPISODE OF I FEEL YOU LINGER IN THE AIR. IT KEEPS BUILDING UP!
Some years ago, when I was a teenager, I didn't understand why girls were so in love with Mr. Darcy from Pride…
Although this does not necessarily mean much but I think we should also consider the fact that Step By Step and I Feel You Linger In the Air does not share too many screenwriters. I compiled it in this Reddit post (https://www.reddit.com/r/boyslove/comments/16eib4s/the_overlapping_of_dee_hup_house_creatives/) but you can see that the most overlapping screenwriters among Dee Hup House production is Lovely Writer, Hidden Agenda and I Feel You Linger In The Air. Step By Step and IFYLITA only shares 2 writers among their respective 4 screenwriters so I think it's more the issue of screen-writing... but yea... Step By Step was a set back from Lovely Writer imho as a HUGE fan of LW but I'm so glad to see Dee Hup House bounce back with IFYLITA.

So... Bright Rapheephong just said he's part of this Pin Anong remake (I believe) in this interview: https://twitter.com/Lingerair/status/1702618245881319574. Does anyone have any guess which actor he's replacing/role he's playing?
How is this guys, does it seem promising? Worth watching? And if it is do i need to watch thr pilot first?
You don't need to watch the pilot, you can just start watching the show. Uncut version is better because it makes more sense. If you like something slower than usual but with a refreshing storyline you should join us and watch it right now. If you don't want the torture of waiting 1 week/ep I think you should wait for 2-3 weeks to start binge-watching but it's a VERY PROMISING slowburn, worth the hype.
I'm so excited for this film! The OST '(Not) Close Friends' by AHEYE 4EVE, PIMMA PiXXiE, TAD ATLAS, GUITAR NEW COUNTRY, APO 789, HYE PAPER PLANES is OUT on all streaming platforms.
Just want to ask... I'm not really expert with Thai dramas afterall. But is this can be considered as lakorn like…
I'm borrowing this from a Reddit comment I saved on the boyslove subreddit The word “Lakorn” technically includes various forms of drama including stage play. But in every day usage, it is understood that it refers to scripted series on tv.
"In the old times, "Lakorn" referred to stage play or drama. The traditional show where performers danced and acted and sometimes sang. This meaning is still used today but much rarer than No.2
In the tv era, the "television Lakorn" became a thing. But people often just shortened the word to simply "Lakorn". It referred to any series on tv. For series produced in Thailand, they tended to be melodramatic and soapy but there were some that were different as well.
At some point, American series were imported to Thailand. For some reason, instead of being called "Lakorn" they were called by the English name "Series". Much later, when Korean series became a thing, they too were referred to in Thai as "Series" rather than "Lakorn".
When Nadao created Hormones The Series in 2013, they at first decided to call it "Lakorn Series" combining both words into one. I think they wanted to use the word Series to signify that they were different from other Thai Lakorns.
Modern teen series created after Hormones mostly took on the name "Series" and ditched "Lakorn". This is to show that they are a new breed of tv series, unlike other Thai Lakorn. In effect, Thai series became split into the conventional "Lakorns" and the new "Series".
As BLs are a subset of teen series, they too use the name "Series" and not "Lakorn"
However, in official use, such as by some government documents or by some award ceremonies, both "Series" and "Lakorns" are still grouped into one. They all would be referred to as "Lakorns" or "television Lakorns" in such case."
As you can see, it depends on how YOU define lakorn. In my personal opinion, I view IFYLITA as a series not lakorn because I personally associate the word lakorn with CH3 type soap operas, with TV soap-like editing (see: To Sir With Love). I Feel You Linger In The Air does not have such vibes. It's cinematic-like, kinda like BBC period miniseries if you've ever seen those?
TLDR: IMHO, IFYLITA is a Period LGBTQ+ series, rather than lakorn because its production is distinctively cinematic-looking rather than plot-driven, heavy dialogue-ish (things characteristic of Thai soap opera dramas).

(https://www.youku.tv/v/v_show/id_XNjAwMDg0NjgwMA==.html?s=cafcc779618e43b1b9a5). or alternatively watch UNCUT on pirating sites (https://www.dramacool.vip/watch-i-feel-you-linger-in-the-air-2023-episode-1-english-sub/)
The piecing of the mystery aspect of IFYLITA is masterfully done. So the principle is that every time Jom draws, a time-space wormhole thing opens up and he’ll somehow be connected briefly with his present timeline. The production team did a really good job crafting this because honestly this was not made clear at all in the novel. I wonder if they consulted with the author in order to get this narrative cleared but essentially the way this is puzzled and structured is just really well thought out.
Khun Yai is truly the greenest flag my gad. The way Yai was so afraid that he’d done something inapproriate to Jom while being intoxicated lmao. Jom teasing drunk Khun Yai was equally adorable too. When Jom flirtily recited what Khun Yai said to him last night and then jumped when he remembered his place likeeeeee I love how self-aware Nonkul is playing Jom to be. Like you can really feel like this is a Panic Gay from modern time being transported back in time.
I love Ming and his mom’s subplot. It pains me to see him being beaten by Mr. Robert even if I already knew beating houseworkers was a norm back then (that sinister man). Down-beat moments like these give depth to our seemingly comic-relief sidekick and I’m so happy we get to see Ming more than just Jom’s friend.
A particular detail I like is by the end of the conversation where Jom told Yai about Ming’s situation, Jom says “fun dee na krub” (Sweet dreams) to Khun Yai to which he replies “ra tree sawat” (Good night, in the most formal way) and they both smiled at each other. There’s so much tenderness in the ways they say bid adieu and the tension is killing me.
Like I know Ohm is supposedly his cheating ex but damn I love every scene between Khamsaen and Jom so far because Nonkul really brings out all the emotions to show a frustrated heartbroken gay. Jom is over his ex but I love that he can still feel bitter over this couple, because that’s so valid of him.
One thing you have to love about Khun Yai is that he’s so damn intuitive to Jom’s feelings. Even if there’s just a single movement, it’s like Khun Yai can already tell something is troubling Jom or there’s something going on. The series is self-aware about this running gag too, love that little dialogue between them acknowledging it: “I have something bothering me” - “I’m starting to get used to it”
“It’s not strange at all. Are making flower garlands suitable only fit for women?” - Khun Yai destroying gender stereotypes in 1927. WE LOVE YEW SIR.
I think Ming - Mae Prik - Jom subplot in this episode highlights an important theme of this series which is “becoming the maker of one’s destiny”. Ming and Mae Prik have both said something similar about how they just need to accept whatever comes to them in the life of a servant, contrasting to Jom who has been thrown misery after misery but he’s not giving up on accepting things as is, even though things may seem rough. It’s such a shame that we can’t really have season 2 with Jom being sent back to 1800s because I think the point of the novel in having send Jom back twice in history is to have the first Jom be a passive version and the second time Jom be a more active version, determined to do whatever he needs to achieve “happiness”. Regardless, I think Nonkul is doing well to portray the complex person that Jom is to balance out the multi-faceted struggles our cute Jom face being stucked in 1927 and unfortunate events just keep popping up his ways.
Khun Lek is the cutest kid my god. I need this kid to show up in every single episode to give me that 3 minute scene of domesticity from YaiJom because you can simply tell how whipped this man is from the way he’s staring at his little brother playing with his crush likeeeeeee… the dude ain’t hiding AT ALL. You know what this reminds me of, it's like when Mr. Darcy saw how easy Elizabeth got along with his little sister Georgiana. There is just something so sweet when one partner sees their family get along with the person they like #family #future-in-laws.
I praise it every week but like the visual effects and sound really deserves all the praises. I sincerely hope everyone is watching the UNCUT version on Youku Vip (like me) or UNCUT on Gagaoolala because this show has perfect scoring and the sound REALLY adds to the effect of each scenes, especially dramatic and thrilling ones. The Youtube version is said to often have audio issues I think so I hope everyone is able to enjoy the same high-quality level series I'm watching right now
I'm so excited for next week already ahhhhh. The sulky Khun Yai? The classy Pride & Prejudice like confession? I love noble ML who loves to show affection through action more than words but then their partner is just slow so they need to spell it out in big bold letters. I CANNOT WAIT!
Everyone should watch this series.... I really cannot praise it enough... I LOVE EVERY EPISODE OF I FEEL YOU LINGER IN THE AIR. IT KEEPS BUILDING UP!

The word “Lakorn” technically includes various forms of drama including stage play. But in every day usage, it is understood that it refers to scripted series on tv.
"In the old times, "Lakorn" referred to stage play or drama. The traditional show where performers danced and acted and sometimes sang. This meaning is still used today but much rarer than No.2
In the tv era, the "television Lakorn" became a thing. But people often just shortened the word to simply "Lakorn". It referred to any series on tv. For series produced in Thailand, they tended to be melodramatic and soapy but there were some that were different as well.
At some point, American series were imported to Thailand. For some reason, instead of being called "Lakorn" they were called by the English name "Series". Much later, when Korean series became a thing, they too were referred to in Thai as "Series" rather than "Lakorn".
When Nadao created Hormones The Series in 2013, they at first decided to call it "Lakorn Series" combining both words into one. I think they wanted to use the word Series to signify that they were different from other Thai Lakorns.
Modern teen series created after Hormones mostly took on the name "Series" and ditched "Lakorn". This is to show that they are a new breed of tv series, unlike other Thai Lakorn. In effect, Thai series became split into the conventional "Lakorns" and the new "Series".
As BLs are a subset of teen series, they too use the name "Series" and not "Lakorn"
However, in official use, such as by some government documents or by some award ceremonies, both "Series" and "Lakorns" are still grouped into one. They all would be referred to as "Lakorns" or "television Lakorns" in such case."
As you can see, it depends on how YOU define lakorn. In my personal opinion, I view IFYLITA as a series not lakorn because I personally associate the word lakorn with CH3 type soap operas, with TV soap-like editing (see: To Sir With Love). I Feel You Linger In The Air does not have such vibes. It's cinematic-like, kinda like BBC period miniseries if you've ever seen those?
TLDR: IMHO, IFYLITA is a Period LGBTQ+ series, rather than lakorn because its production is distinctively cinematic-looking rather than plot-driven, heavy dialogue-ish (things characteristic of Thai soap opera dramas).
