Stunningly shot as usual, this film definitely presented a complete and attractive story. But the chemistry between the leads wasn’t consistent in my opinion. Sometimes they felt like lovers, sometimes like more of a sismance.

Min Ah’s drunken rambling was adorable. 😂🥰👌

MeMindY always does a special episode (paid on vimeo). And its already listed on MDL as coming soon.

Youre acting like he was flat out grinning or something. He’s not. That is the sort of “smile” you give when trying to comfort someone and to show that what theyre saying isn’t changing your opinion of them. Especially when you put the eyes and and body language together with it. Smiling doesnt always mean happiness, there’s a such thing as a reassuring smile/smile of reassurance. And that’s what that is.

Im not a huge fan of Fort’s acting at times, because he does seem to struggle with some nuance. But that scene was nailed. He looked distressed. Torn between wanting to cry for Sky and to show Sky that he doesn’t think it was his fault, he’s there for him, and his view of him isnt going to change.

So did Lin Lin stop using the vitamins from part 1? And thats how she’s in this boat now?

Lin Lin be freaking out over a singular pimple like she’s never had one before. Her reaction wouldve made more sense later when it got worse, or if she had some important event to get to.

Probably the best one of these historical GL shorts I've seen yet. Good chemistry. Complete story. Cute. And it is made abundantly clear to even the most blind of viewers that this is not a sismance, but a romance.

I liked Payu and Rain the best, but there were some absolutely adorable scenes in Love Sky that just didn't have the same effect in the drama. As proven by how no one really gushed about them here in the comment section. And others that were left out altogether. Meanwhile, Payu and Rain scenes were given breathing room to really develop. And they even added/extended some of them.

I feel like they left it open to interpretation. And perhaps that's also the reason we didn't get the scene where Prapai helps him clean up in the shower. Mame likes her dramas to be as close to the book as possible, but she probably also knew that confirming it went that far would not be received well by drama viewers.

I would agree. Love Storm got more attention and care it seems, in story, script, and production.

I would say so. And it makes sense with the whole parallel world premise.

In the book, Pai is too late. And their positions in the drama seem to suggest it was that way in the drama as well. But, Sky does still have his bottoms on in the drama, so perhaps Pai did make it in time in the drama.

That's why it's that much more important, when choosing what to include or not, to select all scenes with a keen focus on giving the viewers a complete and consistent view of the characters, with minimum repetition.

Love Rain did well in this regard. And even added scenes. Love Sky did not deliver. And perhaps it would have, if they were given the screentime that Love Rain did.

It's not up there yet.

Book Spoilers surrounding the events of episode 13:

Chai coming in when Sky and Prapai go to leave. Because of course he would. Prapai is their top racer and left the event in a livid frenzy.

Because Chai was there, Rain gives Gun a few good hits/kicks of his own for hurting his friend.

After Prapai and Sky get to Prapai's family home, Prapai gently takes care of Sky in the shower to clean up everything that Gun did and give him reassurance that he was there. Nothing sexual, but extremely needed.

After Sky meets Prapai's family, it is made extremely clear to him that Prapai is extremely serious.

Learning about Prapai's uncle actually happened in person. Which resulted in a hilarious and cute jealousy and reassurance moment between Prapai and Sky.

And Prapai's siblings being their usual chaotic shameless gremlins really helped Sky relax and get his mind off of things.

Most disappointing Mame finale yet, imo.

The sh*t is supposed to hit the fan before the finale for a reason. This episode was a trauma dump. And the good moments were not numerous, long enough, or to a high enough degree to make up for it. It made the ending feel rushed. And unbalanced. And it makes that whole "love heals all trauma" message just that much more blatant.

They didn't need to have the flashbacks and Sky telling the story separately. It took up precious time and felt repetitive.

They didn't need the beginning few scenes. They did nothing of consequence except establish that Sky is still a busy student, is openly lovestruck, and still has those nightmares.

They could've even made the scene after the nightmare longer in order to help balance out everything that was about to happen.

And this isn't even taking into account all of the scenes that surround the events of this episode in the book. (I'll leave those in the comment below).

I'm just extremely disappointed. Except in Fort. Fort's acting was top tier this episode. 👏🏼👏🏼

Pure fluff. And not the cringe-y kind either. Extremely enjoyable and wholesome. And the characters still felt like the same beloved ones from the drama.

That said, everyone outside of Adachi and Kurosawa are basically cameos. We spend hardly any time with them.

As for chronology, this is set up to supposedly fill in the time gaps present in the drama.
