a refreshing dive with peatfort
I’ll be honest, I’m a sucker for simple, heartwarming BL dramas. No dragons, no complicated plotlines—just two guys falling in love and ofcourse, the sea. And Love Sea delivered on that front.
Now, don't get me wrong, the initial episodes had me rolling my eyes at Mook and her naive antics. I mean, girl, please! But then Vie came in and saved the day. Her character was instrumental in Rak's journey to love Mahasamut. And speaking of Vie and Mook, let's just say their chemistry was about as exciting as watching paint dry.
I'm not too familiar with PeatFort's previous works aside for their cameo in Wedding Plan. I might need to check out Love in the Air soon.
Rak's character was a complex mess, a novel writer who preached about love but couldn't seem to grasp it himself. His character development throughout the 11 episodes was commendable. However, his facial expressions sometimes felt a bit awkward but he had his fair share of cute moments that had me giggling.
Mahasamut, on the other hand, was a breath of fresh air. He was naive but in a charming way. His journey from professing his love to Rak and getting rejected was a rollercoaster of emotions that could have been explored further. I must admit, though, that his hairstyle was a constant distraction throughout the series.
Overall, PeatFort did a fantastic job in this drama. It's easy to watch and doesn't require a lot of brainpower. The concept of loving the sea was refreshing, unlike the supernatural elements in Sunset x Vibes. The steamy scenes were effective and not just thrown in for the sake of having them. The kisses were intimate, and there were plenty of laughs to be had.
Meena was an absolute gem. Her performance was exceptional for such a young actress. Her line delivery was on point, making me think she was a seasoned veteran.
While I appreciate the simplicity of the drama, Prin and Rak's father characters felt underutilized. Their emotional payoffs, especially Prin's, could have been more impactful.
And let's not forget the hilarious moment when Mahasamut's tattoo mysteriously disappeared in the diving scene of the special episode. Clearly, they shot that scene before the tattoo scene.
To sum it up, Love Sea is a refreshing and enjoyable Thai BL drama with a few areas for improvement. But overall, it's a heartwarming and lighthearted watch that will leave you feeling happy and content.
Side Note: Am I the only one who thinks Peat kind of looks like ZEROBASEONE Taerae? 😅
