Love it
I love the Air, it contains great acting, good action scenes and it does not contain many romance scenes but the plot keeps you hooked and also the chemistry between the Leads is to die for. All you need The Air to finally see that love scenes do not always make the plot interesting. It shows a great plot and intensity and urgency of the situation they are in.Was this review helpful to you?
the best version among other F4s versions
The overall story is similar to other F4 stories, so it’s not really my kind of thing because it involves bullying. But for me, this is the best version. The female lead isn’t dumb or naive, and I really like the character development.I’ve watched the other versions before and always wondered why the female lead chose the male lead over the second male lead. In this version, that reason is portrayed the best. I really like how strong the male lead’s character development is. Meanwhile, the second male lead, even though he’s kind, is still deeply in love with his crush, which makes the female lead feel like a rebound. In this version, everything finally makes sense.

What a Load of... Dont Watch this.
I had this show on my watch list since it came out. And because Netflix no longer have reviews, I just read the synopsis and say okay time to watch this. And this is after finishing My Royal Nemesis. Boy, was I in for a surprise, after the first episode, I decided letme try the next one, I really couldn't get through this. So, I just dropped it. What is wrong with the writers and the director and this has 8.4 rating on here. I know people likes and dislikes are not the same but on my which part of this show is worth more than a star... oh THE ENDWas this review helpful to you?
Total waste of time
Really disappointed! I like Riley and thought i'd watch an older show of his. Very very disappointed! The script was awful! Riley's acting was good. Disliked the FL character a lot! She didn't have much to redeem. The father character was weak. The secondary characters i liked. The ending was awful! Left it completely open ended. Dont waste your time. Again liked the actors hated the script!Was this review helpful to you?

Episode 1 made a strong first impression.
A series of murders that recreate scenes from a manga is an intriguing setup, and the mystery hooked me from the beginning. Dew fits Kay naturally, while Tee brings a calm confidence to Detective Phat. Their partnership already feels promising, even before the romance begins to develop. I'm especially curious to learn why the murders resemble Kay's unpublished work and what connects the seemingly unrelated victims. If the series can maintain this suspense while gradually building the relationship between Kay and Phat, I think it could become one of GMMTV's most interesting BL thrillers.The romance is subtle so far, but I can already sense the growing connection between Kay and Phat. I'm glad the series is taking its time instead of rushing into fan service.

“Dying is easy. Living takes real strength.” — General Chu
⚠️ Spoiler Warning: This review contains major spoilers. If you haven’t finished Ashes to Crown, I highly recommend watching it until the very end. Every lesson, sacrifice, and relationship comes full circle.Ashes to Crown – A Story That Stayed With Me
Ashes to Crown isn’t just a historical romance—it’s a story about healing, sacrifice, forgiveness, second chances, and choosing who we become despite our past.
Zhao fought to change fate and protect those she loved. Yanlai began as a lonely young man who believed he deserved neither love nor family. Through General Chu’s faith and Zhao’s quiet kindness, he transformed from someone who welcomed death into someone who finally chose to live.
Their romance is one of the most beautifully written I’ve seen. It isn’t about slowly falling in love—it begins almost immediately and grows through trust, kindness, shared hardship, and quiet moments. Poor Yanlai never stood a chance. 😂 By Episode 6, he was completely gone. One bowl of medicine, one baking lesson, one hairpin adjustment, and a few lingering glances were all it took for Zhao to quietly steal his entire heart. From then on, every goodbye became harder, every reunion sweeter, and every sacrifice more meaningful. His confession, “You pulled me out of the abyss. My life is yours,” simply gave words to what his heart had felt all along.
General Chu and Zhao’s mother became the emotional heart of the series. Their sacrifices and final words reminded us that the greatest victories aren’t won on the battlefield but in protecting the people we love. General Chu didn’t dream of conquest—he dreamed of peace, where mothers could simply wait for their children to come home for dinner.
The character development is what truly sets this drama apart. Zhao, Yanlai, and Emperor Yu grow through love, loss, and forgiveness, while others allow ambition and resentment to define them. The series reminds us that character—not brilliance—shapes destiny.
My only criticism is Zhao’s continued trust in Xie Yanfang. Even after Yanlai repeatedly proved his character, she continued to overestimate Yanfang’s brilliance, a mistake that nearly cost Yanlai his life. It was painful to watch, but she eventually faced her mistake, accepted responsibility, and grew from it.
The ending couldn’t have been more fitting. The lonely boy who once believed he deserved nothing became the man who dared to ask Zhao to marry him and becomes a great general. Together they fulfilled General Chu’s dream—not of victory, but of peace, family, and a future where the next generation could simply live.
True strength is not changing fate—it is allowing love, trust, sacrifice, forgiveness, and hope to change who you become.
The storytelling, cinematography, OST, and performances were exceptional. This wasn’t just a romance—it was a story about becoming the person you’re meant to be.
“Day by day, year by year, to the very end.” ❤️

A MASTERPIECE, but
Overall, this is a masterpiece. The plot is fresh, the setting, the ambience, and even the soundtrack—it is indeed a (almost) perfection. The thing that bothered me the most was the product placement. LOL, I know they needed a lot of money to produce this one, but at least use the products correctly. Also, the acting sometimes kind of feels off. Not that bad "bad", though. It's still a masterpiece. KENG IS SO DAMN HOT HERE.Was this review helpful to you?
The Air
A mix of drama, action, and romance. Not denying that it's a tried-and-true cliché, The Air tells the love story of Lieutenant Vayo and Princess Blew, which blossoms through the obstacles they have to overcome to protect the princess's life. It's a story that's enjoyable to follow, with great acting and direction. On top of that, it features beautiful cinematography and stunning natural landscapes as its backdrop.Was this review helpful to you?
pretend the last episode didn't exist
one of the best series I watched with the worst ending possible. just pretend the last episode don't exist. they built an amazing story but ended in ableism and completely senseless with all the emotional baggage thrown out of the window. what was the point?? it's been 5 years and I'm still mad at it hahahaha watch everything but the last episode so your love for the series doesn't get shattered and destroyed by bad writing. my tinfoil hat theory is that some GMM investors changed the script based on numbers. it makes no sense the whole series be a masterpiece for it to be a s*** show at the very end.Was this review helpful to you?
Boring
The series could have been better but not sure why the NC was needed to show ass that looks like a child especially having with mask. So lame. The story had the storyline that could have been interesting, but no ... it felt like a mess and the acting could have been way better. Clearly I am not going to blame the cast but instead the director and story line writers for making it feel like a mess with like of purpose and storyflow and the chemistry does not work, but feel forced. Horrible, could have been better.Was this review helpful to you?
It was terrible
i don't like the bottom also the brother the story overall so bad and terrible starts with an interesting idea but quickly loses its direction lack believable personalities also it feels forced and sometimes awkward Overall, the series fails to deliver an engaging experience and is unlikely to satisfy most viewers. I would rate it 2/10Was this review helpful to you?
The Loyal Pin
The story is beautifully crafted, blending drama and romance against the backdrop of Thailand's rich culture and breathtaking landscapes. It's a moving journey of self-discovery and falling in love, where the characters must overcome obstacles and challenge social conventions. Delicate yet emotionally intense, it's a story that stays with you long after it ends.Was this review helpful to you?
it's iconic, i know
I know the Khun Thee gimmick was so iconic, but for me, I don't think this is PondPhuwin's best work. There are so many plot holes and the character development is weak. This isn't PondPhuwin's first project together, but why do they look so stiff in a lot of their scenes? They don't seem comfortable with each other. Even when they're just leaning against each other, it feels so tense and forced. The same goes for their make-out scenes. The pacing also feels really slow—I had to watch it at 1.25x speed so the scenes wouldn't feel so empty.I love them, I am Narawins myself. This is my non-biased opinion about the series.

Toxic relationships
When I first tried to watch this show I just couldn’t get into it for some reason. But I’m so glad I watched it!3 guys “in love” with one guy. 2 of those guys make a dumb agreement to not pursue the guy they are in love with & to pretend to day in front of him. The other guy is his new coworker.
I honestly didn’t think Jae-min was gonna end up being the psycho. I for sure thought it was gonna be Soo-hyeon. I wish they had at least 2 more episodes or I wish they would have made the 8 episodes an hour long. It was rushed & I wanted to know more of the background & what happened to Jae-min once he went to prison & what happen with Soo-hyeon since he decided to give up Da-on.
I’m glad Da-on picked Seong-hyeon. I wish we would have seen more of Seong-hyeon back story since we found out at the very end he actually met Da-on first!
