On my rewatch, I noticed that the characters of Kawi and Nene are really poorly written. Nene keeps saying "I want to destroy their happiness"... but it's apparent that there isn't a second in which any of them is happy, so what is Pam supposed to do? And Kawi tries to force a relationship with a person that's 100% clearly not into him and then cries and curses everyone when the other person doesn't feel the same. I can't really take these two characters seriously even for a second... which is a shame because if those two were actually well written this could've been one of the best Thai GLs so far. As it is, the only real obstacle was the old "parents want to own their child" trope, which is probably the most boring one there is by now in a GL.

One of my favorites of 2025. The only real critique I have is that Nao & Shiho are portrayed excessively pure, which is unfortunately basically a trademark in Japan when it comes to Yuri couples. They have these "super lovey-dovey scenes", but those look more like interactions between high school super-best friends that don't know yet if they like each other romantically or just as friends. But if that rather unimportant point is all the critique I could think of... I must have really enjoyed it. Another excellent work by Okada Yoshikazu.

I think I have "rich girls in skirts that are too short and heels that are too high" fatigue. Why is basically every romance only GL like this in 2025? Including that, the show is filled with stereotypes, like the OST being played every 2 minutes, every romantic scene is slow motion, homophobic family, near death experiences and pretty girls who can't help but show off how pretty they actually are a few times per episode. Basically the only rather unique things are that one character basically steals the other away from a straight wedding and the naive going after her love part. Other than that there's nothing really good, bad or outstanding in any way.

No problem! Maybe your insightful comment will help someone answer a question they could have when they watch the drama in the future.

I know everything you described. But it seems like you misunderstood my complain because your post doesn't really have anything to do with the scene that left me frustrated.

In the scene it was an emergency case, the patient was critical and nobody knew what to do, until the pharmacist found out what the issue was and got permission from the doctor to administer the medicine. Afterwards the new pharmacy hire who saw all that goes to that pharmacist and asks why the relatives go to the doctor and thank them that the patient survived, aka why they give him the credit, not to her and wanted her to make a fuss that she was the one who saved the patient so that she would get the credit.

Clearly the doctor was the the person with the most authority in this case who oversaw the whole thing, so he got the credit even though the pharmacist figured out what the right medicine to administer was. My problem is here that the newbie's a grown ass woman and should know that the people with the most responsibility get the immediate credit for success because they also have to take the fall if something goes wrong. But she seemed to be mentally 6 years old and doesn't understand basic societal structures. And that's what frustrated me.

I really loved the first 4 weeks. But why did they almost completely ignore Natsumi and therefore Hiroto's and Natsumi's lives together just to hyper focus on the friend's story in the last week? I'm sorry but I really didn't care about him. He was a side character that brought some humor into it for me, nothing more. And what happened to Yomogi? She was just completely erased after all that destiny talk the week prior.

Unfortunately, all in all the drama felt either half completed or just totally misorganised when it comes to the episode order in the last weeks.

One of the best GLs of 2025. The acting was a bit shaky at times, but except for that it was really well executed and the story was well written. I just really don't know if I was supposed to dislike Air to the degree that I did. But if you ask me, she was probably the best GL villain of 2025. If she wasn't supposed to be one, then I'm sorry, but I can't really feel anything but dislike for a crybully like her.

"Snowdrop no Hatsukoi" -> "Death's First Love". I didn't know the very Japanese word "Snowdrop" means "Death" in English. You learn something new every day by just looking at Japanese dramas and movies with English in their names.

Any reason why MDL or whoever changed the original name "Laundering" to "Laundering the Haunted"? People, we need to stop renaming material from one language into the same or from one language into another by completely changing the meaning.

Some of you guys here have a real problem. Stop bringing politics from another part of the globe into a comment section of an ACTRESS, who, by the way, is born and raised in THAILAND, just because you don't like where one of her parents was born. Why do you care what her politics are? She's an actress, maybe she doesn't give a shit about what happens 7000 km away from her and just wants people to like her because of her acting, not because of her agenda or politics. This is worse than "the sins of the father" behavior because her father didn't even do anything wrong, since last time I checked, nobody is able to choose where they're born or who their parents are.

The first 10 minutes already frustrated me... "why aren't the patients talking to the pharmacists and why does the doctor get the credit?". Do you talk to the shop employees if you have a serious complaint or something? Nah, you go to the manager. Because they're the one responsible for the whole team, as is the doctor. If the team does well, the doctor gets credit. If the patient dies, the doctor gets the law suit if they're unlucky. That's how a business works.

Yes, I'd go even one step further and say they should drop the "person with more hierarchical standing threatens to disown the main character because they don't want her to be in a lesbian relationship, even though she's in her mid to late 20s with a career" trope. It just makes no sense in a modern story and is so overused in those that it's even annoying in a historical setting.

Sounds like the typical "the writers got bored with the actual storyline so they needed something or someone to create real big drama near the end" GL plot device. I actually had high hopes for the drama that it could do without something like that (haven't watched it yet, waiting for it to be completed).

I actually liked the drama... until episode 6. Sure, it has its problems, like the abysmal sound quality or Queen actually cosplaying a robot, but when Bo became a bit more comfortable around her and with herself I actually thought that this is a solid 7.5.
And then it hit Episode 6. Why do so many of these GLs become an absolute mess around halfway or in the last two to three episodes? Do these writers get so bored at that point by actual story progression that they need to insert artificially created problems on life or death level difficulty, or, like in this case, comically evil villains that get even more comical? Is it really so hard to make a drama that shows growth from beginning to end by building hurdles along the way instead of letting them grow until half or 3/4 of the episodes and then slam a door in the main characters' faces just to set everything back to 0 so they can scramble to pick up the pieces for the drama to have an actual ending? Too many such dramas in the Thai GL space is all I gotta say to that. I gave it a gracious 6 at the end... just because the acting was good and I liked the tsuntsun personality trope, even if she seemed too much like a robot sometimes.

The actress playing Lean must have either bad friends or a very bad management. She looks like a villager in a low budget 90s RPG with those blonde hair.
The drama wasn't much better, as is the case with all of Ferin's dramas on the H'our channel. The two main characters in those always look and come across like if one was in their late 20s and the other was the college student little sister of one of her friends. Bad production, pretty bad acting, no chemistry and nonsensical story. Dropped after 3 eps. And I didn't even want to watch any of their dramas anymore... I can't help myself to give them more chances, I guess.

Ok, let me step on some toes real quick. I feel like this story had no real leg to stand on. It's basically two rich girls, who met each other once, fighting because... why exactly? Their fathers' business rivalry? Society's expectancy that the two heiresses continue that rivalry? A quarrel in high school? I didn't really get the reason why because all three of those wouldn't fit their characters at all and wouldn't make any sense anymore anyways a few episodes in.
I hope Thai GL will, sooner rather than later, get away from this "we just need to let the main characters jump through as many hoops as possible in the little time we have" mentality. I pretty much stopped caring about their abundancy of problems in Ep 5 or 6 or so, when I could no longer ignore that most of them existed just to create drama, not because they contributed in any way to furthering the story or their relationship with each other. I had a lot of issues with Affair aswell, but that drama at least had a way more solid way of telling their story and depicting their relationship. And most of all, its story had a premise that made sense. LMSY is one of my favorite GL pairings and all the other actors/actresses were solid aswell, but not even that could save this drama for me.

Where did the H go in the title when Netflix unnecessarily shortened and localized it? Didn't have enough money at Wheel of Fortune? Oh, wait, you only need to buy vowels there.

It's so stupid that the ghost has very obvious artificial fingernails and the camera even lingers on them for 30 seconds straight in the first episode. Needs a manicure though. Some of the Korean Yuri mini-dramas on YT are too funny, just like the ones in which they go to bed with makeup on their faces as if they're on their way to go clubbing.

I liked the story, but this was like a manga adaption they forgot to re-write to fit real humans.
Extremely silly, a lot of sound and visual effects plus the acting to make it overly cutesy. It felt like everytime the two main characters just glanced at each other they used slow-motion, which got pretty annoying after a while, the same with the old "oops, I fell on your mouth" trope they over used. It's also probably the most Thai pop music I can endure in a single series, especially if they make it come across like a parody of the music business, like they did here.
I'm usually not a friend of those whiplash storylines, but in this case it saved the series so it could get some romance and actual story across because until that point it was more or less just an attempt to give everyone Diabetes. In conclusion: Overall pretty ok, but if you make it through the first five episodes without fast forwarding/speeding up at least 20% of an episode, congratulations, you're a better person than I am.

He's my favorite character in the asadora. He's a side character but an important one for the first half of the series. I think if I try to write more it'll be considered spoilers.
