This is a woman’s GL through and through
I’ve been watching GL’s since forever and from almost every country that’s ever made them and I can honestly say that-The Secret Of Us, is the finest quality GL that I have ever seen and that has ever been produced thus far. Everything about it screams top tier with this series from the cast whose talent and beauty are visually unmatched to the director and etc. everything is on point.Facts- TSOU and Blank is the best GL’s I’ve seen to date with harder more adult plots and situations to deal with and to execute properly. But TSOU differs from a lot of GL’s and specifically fully grown adult -Thai GL’s. It was the Thai traditional take on romance and it was designed and fashioned specifically for its core audience standards first while showcasing to the west, what Thai romance is really like, only this time, they did it with a GL.
It didn’t go in heavy or above and beyond with the love scenes because it didn’t need it, to keep the audience invested as the talent and the beauty as well, was more than enough to keep the viewers watching. Certain people are concentrating on the lack of love scenes and nagging on the plot and hey it’s their issue and I get it because I know that they either couldn’t feel it, or they just couldn’t get it. But what they are failing to realize is that this show did something for Thai GL that had yet to be done. It brought softness, gentleness and tenderness into the realm of Thai GL which was sorely needed after all the previous stories just jammed with lots of strife and hit and run toxicity first before we got to the romance. And No one, could really push or guilt trip either of the MC’s around in this story either as once they knew who and what it is they wanted, they always chose each other first or to put the other’s needs first.
And this could only be done for this story, because unlike the previous Thai GL’s we’ve all seen, this story was actually written by a woman and not a man. Which is why it was directed by a woman, script adapted to screen by women, produced by a woman, as its story was about women and so it’s main characters were all going to be played by women. It is a true woman’s take on WLW love and I respected it and appreciated that more than anything else. LingOrm served in this show and took us through the stages of love found, love lost, separation and grief, anger and angst, lost love found again and now kept for a lifetime. All while it managed to make GL’s soft, feminine, sweet, tender and beautiful again. This is a woman’s GL through and through and it’s really a full and complete GL and I LOVE IT!
