I Started This Blind and Was Left Amazed. Literally a Perfect Series
Honestly, it’s rare for me to like every single character in a BL series, but Love of Silom takes the cake. I genuinely enjoyed every character, even the villains and those who only appeared briefly, like Pete. Every character felt like they had a purpose.
The acting flowed so naturally. Up and Poom have incredible chemistry, and it showed in every scene where they were together. Their intimate scenes felt romantic, and was beautifully done rather than awkward or forced. The dance performances at the bar were also entertaining and added so much personality to the series.
The music deserves its own praise. There were so many songs throughout the series that I fell in love with, and every track matched the mood of each scene perfectly. Especially those small moments of Wayu sharing his playlist so that Krit to explore new music, I thought that small detail in series was just so sweet.
One of my favorite aspects was the friendships. Even the guys at the bar who started off as jerks eventually became supportive friends, and I absolutely loved Foei, the bar owner. Throughout everything that happened, Tai and Rose remained Wayu and Krit biggest supporters, which made them even more lovable. Honestly, I enjoyed every actor and every supporting character in this series.
The story was paced extremely well. It opened strong with the investigation, and each episode introduced new twists, new characters, and more pieces of the mystery without ever feeling overwhelming. At the same time, we watched the relationship between Wayu and Kirt develop naturally. Episodes 7 and 8 were my favorites because, despite the investigation remaining the central plot, they gave us beautiful moments that simply focused on the couple loving and supporting each other while also showing the struggles they both faced with their own families.
Speaking of family, the scriptwriter did an amazing job with the character development. Wayu character was so well written and his story had so much depth to it. Watching Wayu’s mother change and seeing Kirt’s father slowly grow to accept his son happiness made the story incredibly satisfying. Singto’s character was genuinely the sweetest and brought so much warmth and heart to the story.
The action scenes were exciting and kept me engaged throughout. I liked that we got to see Kirt in action against criminals while also dealing with the pressures of his job and the conflict with his father. It balanced the romance, mystery, and action really well.
The ending had me smiling from ear to ear. After everything the characters endured, it was so rewarding to see Kirt finally stand up to his father. Seeing Kirt and Wayu get married was the perfect conclusion. Kirt’s parents got the grandchild they had always wanted, Wayu’s mother stopped gambling, his sister returned to be part of her son’s life, Wayu went back to school and graduated, and he and Kirt built a home together. Seeing both families finally find happiness made the ending feel complete and well earned.
Overall, Love of Silom was an amazing series. I watched the entire series in a day and was willingly to sacrifice my sleep because I simply couldn’t stop watching. Every episode ended in a way that made me immediately want to start the next. It’s one of those dramas where the mystery, romance, action, family relationships, friendships, music, and character development all come together perfectly. I’d highly recommend this!
