Love in the Air (2022)

Sky and Prapai made it worth it

I had already written a review a while ago when only a few episodes where out and it was negative. I won't go into details since I think many reviews have already done it and my reasons are pretty much the same as everyone's, but I did not like Rain and Payu story. It's not like I hated it (there is much worse out there) but it just wasn't doing it for me, I almost dropped the show because of it but I am happy I kept going (even if by skipping on a few parts oops).
This is one of the reasons why I'm so glad the show was split in two and each couple could get the importance they deserve.
I absolutely loved Sky and Prapai story. Overall it felt much deeper, less cliché and the acting omg. It's not like the other actors were bad but Peat stood out so much for his performance, I couldn't believe it when I found out this is one of his first acting experiences. No spoilers but the last episode had me bawling my eyes out. I also saw a few reviews saying they didn't felt the chemistry with the second couple and I'm shook honestly, I really thought they were the cutest and their way of communicating was amazing.
This is why I'm so conflicted on the review too, overall I wouldn't give it a high rating but then by staying low I feel bad for the second couple because I seriously loved their episodes so yeah I advise you to mostly take this as Sky and Prapai story review lol

Sky deserves better

I made an account on this site just to say that Rain sucks as a friend. I'm watching ep 9 rn and this guy just gives the keys to someone who his friend has multiple times expressed as not liking. C'mon dude your best friend is sick, surely you can have someone being your work to you if you really need to do it gods.

As a more general review... I have almost dropped this series multiple times but then decided to power through and just skip any cringey or awkward parts which makes the episodes half as long. Idk sex scenes are fine, not feeling the chemistry between the first pair. Sky deserves better, him and Sig are my favourites.

This show will always be my FAVORITE!!!

There aren't enough words to describe how much I LOVE this show. It is so good, the production level is good, the story is good, the acting is good, the Visual FX ARE NEXT LEVEL, and even the OST is so good. I catch myself singing it more than I should be.

I love Phayu and Rain's story, probably a little to much if I'm gonna be honest. I cried after finishing it, It took MONTHS for me to recover from this show (I'm sadly not being dramatic). There level of chemistry on and off the screen is so good. I catch myself watching the best moments before going to bed just to get me something to think about. I get on the verge of tears when I hear the song from the show, ITS CRAZY. Phayu and Rain's story will most likely always be my favorite. I probably sound really delusional right now, but I am, so. No matter how long I make this, I could type forever about them. I love the way they are always smiling when they are with each other. I literally got so excited when I watched a scene I had missed when originally watching the show.

I also am OBSESSED with Pai and Sky's story. The way that it started was so funny to me and the way Pai was trying so hard to get to Sky was amazing. They also have such good chemistry on and off the screen, and I cant forget how well MeMindY/MAME did with the casting, I feel like they always do such a good job at finding actors.

Even though its already been a year since Love In The Air first aired which is crazy to think, I really hope they get their own separate series soon, which I don't think will happen at all. If it does happen, I will 1000% be watching.

EDIT: they got there own show??!?!?!!?!? i was not expecting that but rewatching it after watching many other dramas, its not all the rave but I def believe it will still be my fav until their separate series come out. i think i just loved the chemistry, but its not as good as i said it was. i will always cry to the intro music, no matter what.

Watchable only for pretty boys and bed scenes

If you like pretty boys and 18+ bed scenes, watch it. If you want good acting, interesting plot, fun script, then this drama is not for you.

The story is pretty simple. The drama is divided into two sections: 1-5 is PayuRain, 6-13 is PrapaiSky. Rain and Sky are best friends, so they show up in each other's stories. The plot is typical MAME with creepy, completely unacceptable in real life behaviour and dubious consent. Both romanticised, of course. There's also some noncon, but not between the main couples. The story is ok, but not especially engaging. The drama knows it because the characters make out all the time when they finally get together. Think Why R U but worse. And the bed scenes are 18+, you will see the whole act, fortunately no nudity.

The acting is awful. I think it actually got worse further into the drama. The dialogues are unnatural, the expressions are exaggerated or not there at all. No human behaves like the characters did. It was really difficult to see the characters instead of the actors, though usually I don't have a problem with it. The way the played the characters was so bad, I was actually glad when they were making out, because at least they weren't talking then. I'm really glad the actors are pretty. At least you can always look at their face or body and ignore whatever they try to act.

The editing and production are also bad. The scenes are too long, sometimes shown from many angles. I question the necessity for it. I really liked the motive of weather, which is connected to the names of the main characters. That was original and fun. The clothes were amazing. The drama is very pretty, in a typical Thai bl series way.

Would I recommend it? Not really. But it's not the worst, and if you watch with friends, then it may be even fun. The good will be multiplied and the bad ridiculed.

The worst show I've ever watched.

Never watched more toxic show expect from Kinnporsche. Payu literally almost r*ped Rain at the beginning of the show, but everyone seems to forget about it. Their relationship was mainly based on s*x but the scriptwriter/s wanted to make it seem like they were in a perfect relationship. Prapai was a stalker, but no one cares because the actor apparently is hot (he's not even that hot). The last episodes showed that Sky had a trauma after getting r*ped by his ex boyfriend, and I'm kinda glad they mentioned such a serious topic, but I think that's a little bit hypocritical to write something like that and than romanticise it when Payu almost did it to Rain.
There were way to many 18+ scenes. I swear every episode involved at least 2 or more of those scenes. At some point I felt like watching p*rn. The special episode was even worse then the whole series. The only purpose of this episode was to satisfy weird fetishists.

idgaf about y'all comments but THIS is by far one if the best bl's i got to watch

firstly, this drama has a great concept i mean what is there not to love about illegal racing.
it's good it's entertaining the couples have good chemistry just what a bl needs.
sex scenes were present and were super good, the actors have the talent needed for this and im so here for it.

yes it's a controversial pick but i loved the story, i am fully aware that not many people liked the story and that's the main cause of the rating.

the ost was so damn good it was stuck in my mind all day long(that depends on your taste in music).

i don't think it is necessary to rewatch it i mean do not get me wrong the series is truly great but, the story line is super simple and easy to understand.
plus because it won't be exciting anymore to rewatch the episodes (except for the sex scenes for me).
don't waste your time rewatching a series with such a simple and easy storyline.

overall i think this series is a must to watch.

Entertaining But Could Be Better

Phayu and Rain (Eps 1-7)

Phayu and Rain make a really believable couple and I love this couple so much. Their interactions are organic, a little cringey at times but still super cute. Their story for the most part feels like a slice of life, where not that much happens plot wise and it's more like we're just taking a peek into these characters' lives and I love that.

However, the plot tends to introduce things/ build up things only to have them peter out. For example, the race between Phayu and Stop. They built that up so much and Rain was so worried, but then the race happens and it was so underwhelming. Everyone said that Stop cheated but how? They never should us that he cheated or how.

Another thing was that they made it a big mystery about Phayu's family owing a garage but then Phayu randomly says it to a bunch of juniors. If he can mention it so casually there, how was it that this never came up before in all the years he was in uni?

The acting was pretty decent, not the best but also not the worst I've seen. Honestly, I love Phayu and Rain and could watch them being all cutesy and in love any time. 9/10

Prapai and Sky (Eps 8-13)

I actually think this storyline could have been handled better since the themes were darker compared to the first part. What bothered me the most was that in the beginning Prapai doesn't seem to understand the meaning of the word 'no.'

He was pretty pushy in the beginning and I think they could have showed his determination to pursue Sky in a better way that didn't make him come off as a bit of a stalker. I mean he changed phone nember multple times because Sky kept blocking him. That's very stalker like. Or they could have shown Sky being more receptive in deeds but saying no verbally. Just something so it didn't seem so one sided.

However, in the later episodes, Pai was sweet for the most part and I do think the actors have good chemistry so Prapai and Sky were still a pretty cute couple.

The acting was okay. Peat's crying was a bit awkward sometimes and Fort's smile sometimes felt too fake and didn't portray the happiness that Prapai was supposed to be feeling. 7/10

Overall, the sound quality wasn't great and it was a little annoying that every charater needed to speak all of their thoughts aloud. It's fine if one character does it but when you have all four main character with this trait then it's awkward. However, I still enjoyed watching the show.

Hello? I can't hear you over the moaning

The chemistry in both couples are fire, but I did not enjoy the "baby talk". It was cringey and not my cup of tea.

The sound editing is trash; phone calls are weird, the sound is often uneven and the voiceovers were straight up bad. The editing in general is also questionable, with weird cuts and transitions spread throughout the series.

The structure of the series is ok. I liked how they focused on one couple at a time, but there were also a number of scenes that were repeated unnecessarily.
In terms of the script; there were many lines that felt forced and unnatural, and scenes where body language or silence would have been more suitable than speech.

a tale of two very different love stories

This is an adaptation from 2 novels, Love Storm and Love Sky. This introduces a whole new MAME universe.

The acting in this was really good from both pairs although I tending towards the first story as opposed to the second. This is a MAME adaptation so for those of you who know her other works will know that there are elements that are highly problematic.

That being said the first story is well told with elements of humour. The second story is darker and there are a number of tropes that are disturbing or triggering. These weren't well written

At times the OST was over powering with how loud it is and the constant changes. However there are a couple of gems.

I would give Love Storm a strong 9.5 but Love Sky a 6.5 hence an overall of 8. Treat them as two separate stories instead of one story and you should get through some of the heavy subjects in the second story.

Здесь важно все от прошлого до настоящего

Сколько раз я посмотрела этот лакорн, я уже точно не скажу. Но истории главных героев некоторых мне очень близки. От этого мне было фокусироваться на моментах порой тяжелее и ставила на стоп. Хотя сам сюжет прост: легенда факультета соблазняет милого и активного новичка (мы это видели уже и не раз), богатый парень преследует дерзкого, но обычного парня. И кажется, что тут две истории которые связаны только два друга и два друга, и оп такой дружеский квартет. Тут гораздо больше. ; разные жизни, две абсолютно разные истории с разным прошлым. Вторая история мне знакома, поэтому воспринимала остро многие моменты. Ну и как таким стал Паю (Босс) и почему - мне тоже знакомо и близко. История два - ох, когда кто-то потерял доверие к миру, людям и нет поддержки даже от близких, или они очень далеко. И ты вроде готов найти и довериться, но даже вроде теплые посылы ты уже воспринимаешь в штыки и готов просто слать доброжелателя дальше и оставаться в полном одиночестве. Решиться снова любить - это вообще на грани трагедии, когда просто убиваешь всеми возможными способами это чувство. И правильно было сказано, что дело не в кексе, дело в душе израненной и растоптанной. Актерский состав потрясающий и если учесть, что только двое имели маленький, но опыт актерского дебюта, то двое абсолютные новички. Играли потрясающе. Между ними столько шуток (я умирала и тысячу раз перематывала как камере незаметно как актер просто ржал над своей репликой), столько химии и реально дружеского взаимодействия. Спасибо кто делал кастинг, подобрали актеров потрясающе, отсюда образы были очень убедительны и честны на экране. Ребята так подняли банальный сюжет, что верю и дальше у них будет отличное будущее актерской игры. Очень понравились дополнительные детали в виде прослушивания радио о прогнозе погоды. Мне очень нравятся произведения Мэй, но заметила, что есть у нее одна проблема: она очень любит во все свои произведения травмы прошлого и делать на них мощный акцент (хотя в "Истории Тарна и Тайпа" она сделала это меньше), здесь прошлое прям как основной акцент, думаю лишнее. Я конечно рекомендую посмотреть этот лакорн, но прежде чем смотреть, задайте себе вопрос, что вы хотите - если эросцены - да они тут аппетитные и это как вишенка на торте, но если вы не хотите понять суть, понять жизнь и проблемы героев, то тогда не стоит. Сразу перематывайте на эросцены или уже другие сайты вам в помощь. Помимо красоты актеров, сцен, природы - тут есть жизнь и есть сюжет, именно для этого снимаются фильмы и сериалы, чтобы вы смотрели сюжет. Кто меня понял - приятного просмотра. Кто нет - мотайте и смотрите, только не надо потом писать , выставляя себя "великим критиком и богом актерского таланта".
How many times I've watched this lacorn, I won't say for sure. But the stories of some of the main characters are very close to me. Because of this, it was sometimes harder for me to focus on the moments and put on the stop. Although the plot itself is simple: the legend of the faculty seduces a cute and active newcomer (we have seen this more than once), a rich guy pursues a daring, but ordinary guy. And it seems that there are two stories that are connected only by two friends and two friends, and op is such a friendly quartet. There's a lot more here. ; different lives, two completely different stories with different pasts. The second story is familiar to me, so I was acutely aware of many moments. Well, how did Pau (Boss) become like this and why - I am also familiar and close. Story two - oh, when someone has lost trust in the world, people and there is no support even from loved ones, or they are very far away. And you seem ready to find and trust, but even like warm messages you already perceive with hostility and are ready to just send a well-wisher on and stay completely alone. To decide to love again is generally on the verge of tragedy, when you simply kill this feeling in all possible ways. And it was correctly said that it's not about the cupcake, it's about the wounded and trampled soul. The cast is amazing and if you consider that only two had a small, but experience of acting debut, then two are absolute beginners. They played amazing. There are so many jokes between them (I was dying and rewound a thousand times as the camera imperceptibly as the actor just laughed at his remark), so much chemistry and really friendly interaction. Thanks to those who did the casting, they picked up the actors amazingly, hence the images were very convincing and honest on the screen. The guys raised the banal plot so much that I believe they will continue to have a great future of acting. I really liked the additional details in the form of listening to the radio about the weather forecast. I really like May's works, but I noticed that she has one problem: she really likes to include the traumas of the past in all her works and put a strong emphasis on them (although in the "History of Tarn and Typa" she did it less), here the past is just like the main emphasis, I think it is superfluous. Of course, I recommend watching this lacorn, but before you watch, ask yourself what you want - if the eroscene - yes, they are delicious here and it's like the cherry on the cake, but if you don't want to understand the essence, understand the life and problems of the heroes, then it's not worth it. Immediately rewind to the eroscene or other sites to help you. In addition to the beauty of the actors, scenes, nature - there is life and there is a plot, that's why films and TV series are shot so that you watch the plot. Who understood me - enjoy watching. Who is not - shake and look, just don't write later, exposing yourself as a "great critic and god of acting talent."
