GAP (2022)

THE BEST EVER GL SERIES

At first I thought when I watched the first episode it was a very flat, uninteresting, and very boring story. But when I tried to watch the next episode, I thought I would take my words about the boring story, because it turns out that this story is very interesting to watch, I feel that this is not just a GL romantic series story but in this story there is a lot of comedy, good friendship, and makes me even more curious to continue the next chapter.

Indeed, this series is not completely perfect, but knowing the fact that this is produced by a new agency and all the actors and actrees are also new to the acting industry, I think this series is quite good, their acting is natural, I laugh when they are laughing, and cry when they are in a scene sad.

For music, I really love.


The music is varied, and it's also sang by the cast of GAP, it's really amazing, all of them are not only good at acting but also can sing beautifully.


Lastly, I really like Freenbecky's chemistry, both in the series and in the real world, their visuals can attract the attention of many people. They are beautiful, funny, humorous and perfect together. Thank you to the company for making this series, thank you Mr ceo Saint from Idolfactory for successfully producing this series without the help of sponsors, you are really cool. Also thanks to freenbecky for playing Khun Sam and Mon so well, also thanks to all the cast and crew involved in making this series. I think GAP is also famous all over the world, that's amazing.


I hope there will be new projects for freenbecky in the future. I love freenbecky so much.

I am dropping this show. I am happy we got a GL and that it has gained so many viewers, it's promising and hopefully more GL stories will follow suit. However, the quality of GAP is atrocious and while it has been mostly entertaining even if cringy so far, I just can't be bothered to continue watching now after their fight and the unnecessary drama.
The acting is bearable, I do like Freen's performance for the most part and Sam has been my favourite character but also the only one I've cared about. She is giving me major autism vibes and while she can be a horrible person, I do like here as a character and feel for her.
Becky's acting is... I barely made it past the first episode, it took me a week to make it through that one and another two weeks to decide to continue on with the show. Something about it really does not click with me even if it isn't the worst and I can ignore bad acting if the story overall is compelling enough.
The friend group was entertaining to an extent but their overbearing nature and nosiness when some things really do not concern them (e.g. Mon and Sam having sex) quickly became too much for me and the cringe was off the charts.
It is very noticable that the storyline of Tee and Yuki was cut and makes for some very awkward editing.
The editing and the camera angles are another issue. Why is every other scene filmed at a tilted angle?
I liked some parts, enough to continue on for 8 episodes and maybe I will pick it up again some time in the future - but why force myself to watch something when I don't feel like it just to support a GL?

Best GL Series Yet

Ladies delivered an awesome performance with amazing chemistry, wardrobe, and acting. The storyline was a classic one employee and boss trope with some twists. The actresses are really fun to watch on screen and off screen. Their bright and adorable personalities really shine thru. The director and production team is legendary and made the audience feel so much emotions. I am so proud of this representation of two women falling in love and battling thru life obstacles together. What an emotional rollercoaster. Saint sup is a genius! Can’t wait for more GL content from IDOLFACTORY.

It's just amazing

When I first came across the pilot trailer a few months ago, I honestly didn't know what to expect. I mean of course I knew that I could expect a whole lot of gay, but maybe because I didn't know what the concept of pilot trailers meant for the thai tv show industry, or maybe because I was preoccupied with other shows at the time, I didn't think much of it. Then, after I forgot about it completely for like a good few months, I came across the first episode; it didn't even show up in my recommended, I just saw the video pop up on the side when I was watching something else and guess what...I was hooked (I ended up binging the 2 episodes that had already released). I don't know if this has ever happened to me before, I can't remember; waiting for every Saturday, waiting till my computer clock shows 11:30 am, knowing that that meant I could finally watch a new episode of GAP. And boy, I will admit that I wasn't convinced by the acting right away, nor was I obsessively rooting for the couple, relative to now. But damn was I wrong. The acting, even the crying, that was maybe a little too sudden, in episode 2, got so much better. Don't get me wrong, the cliches, the questionable cuts throughout episodes that people mention a lot; I get it, I agree (for the most part), but, and trust me on this one, it's worth it. The couple is just that good; FreenBecky just really know how to bring a couple, a series, a fandom to life.

First GL series that I fell in love with, Main cast where superb, the acting skills really exceed my expectations and twists and plot is really amaxing. Sam and Mon really have a great chemistry on and off screen. Every episode is giving us an excitement, laughter, sad moments and giving us bitterflies in our stomach. Best GL series so far and I think this will be the hardest and the toughest one to beat. Really the best so far. Freen and Becky did a really great job though theyre new actors but they continue to grow in their craft. Have much respect for them in portraying those characters, really nailed it.

Clichés done well

This was my first GL and I absolutely loved it! The storyline did seem a bit cliché, but I am a sucker for such stories (age gap, social gap), so I did actually really liked that. The chemistry between Freen and Becky is absolutely amazing!

The storyline is very good, even if it is a bit slow at times. There are certain areas that I feel like could have been done differently – in particular, the side characters / couple as we don’t really get to know much about them, but I found the little interactions between Tee and Yuki absolutely adorable. Also, the character of Cher and the way she treated Sam were amazing. She didn’t get much screen time, but she totally stole the show. I am kind of disappointed that we didn’t get much of a story relating to Nita, I think it could have been used for a conflict in a better way.

I do like what the show did with the representation when it comes to lesbian characters. However, there were still some problematic sides to how they did this. I hate how comic relief trans characters are a norm in BL / GL dramas. This is a problem I have with many dramas, not just Gap, but that doesn’t make it any less annoying.

Lady Sam is a complex character. She does appear very cold, reserved and arrogant, but getting to know her story, we can quickly tell that this is her way of surviving. She is independent and strong, but at the same, she falls victim to her grandmother’s manipulations every time. And that does make a lot of sense – Sam finds family very important, and with having no one else but her grandmother who also raised her since she was a child, she doesn’t want to lose her as well. Even if that means sacrificing her own happiness.

Mon is absolutely adorable! At first she seems to only be cute and sweet, but as the story progresses we also see her more mature side as well as her becoming more confident in her relationship with Lady Sam. I did find Mon’s idolization of Lady Sam a bit annoying and a bit problematic. I really like what they did with the public information of Lady Sam being mostly fake, which put both of them into an equal position when it came to getting to know each other. Sadly, Mon was still idolizing Lady Sam to the point where she forgave her some very hurtful things way too quickly. She does come across as a bit of a pushover.

Kirk is a character I cannot skip. He has his flaws, and he has made some dumb decisions, and while some were led by good intentions, others were led by his arrogance. But with where he is coming from and with the support he has, we couldn’t really expect anything else. I don’t think we can say he was manipulated by grandmother in the same way Lady Sam was, but she definitely holds some sort of power over him as well. Kirk wasn’t necessarily evil, but I think he was arrogant and entitled. But he did kind of come through when it mattered, even if I think he could have done better.

a heartwarming & addicting watch

Truthfully I rarely finish shows but this one had me hooked ! While the acting and chemistry were a little confusing to me at first it quickly became very beautiful. The leads were phenomenal and by the last episode the chemistry and emotions were off the charts, I cried so much ! I love how realistic it felt too. In many romances I find that when the leads have conflict they can be very tropey or one-dimensional. Sam and Mon however felt very human to me, their personalities and characters were really well developed, and the conflict plot points were well done, even though truthfully they did have a tad too much conflict sometimes. But it was still very realistic and beautiful to me. I really recommend this show to anyone interested!

The First Thai GL Celebrated All Over the Globe

One of the first GL series from Thailand, "Gap The series" was a well-received and appreciated show, that broadened the scope of the GL industry. In an industry monopolized by the Boys’ Love genre which mostly focused on the love story between two boys, it was nice to see a lesbian love story. The show was nicely paced, being a sweet and cozy workplace romance between a boss and subordinate, with one being cold but sweet and other being a ray of sunshine.

First, and hopefully not last.

The first full-length Asian GL ever. The story is a typical CEOxEmployee office romance, with a touch of queerness. I want to, with all my heart, thank and congratulate Saint Suppapong, for paving the way to other GLs and for the popularity this drama has gained. He said, in an interview, that people close to him told him that it's a risky idea; so I want to thank him, once again, for not getting discouraged and not giving up on this show. I actually, wanted it to give it a 9.5, but changed my mind, seeing that it's a first in this industry. Although I hope, that it isn't the last.

STORY:
A basic romance one, with a ton of angst. Mostly coming from the fact that they are a female couple. But social class takes a role in that, too. I do like that Kirk , Sam's fiance, didn't turn out to be a total jerk:)))

ACTING/CAST:
I rarely cry, I'm not an emotional person, at least on the outside. But this GL made my eyes fill with tears a handful of times, and made the tears run across my face a few. What I'm trying to say is, they acted the emotional parts extremely well, especially in Ep 11 in the beginning of part 2. FreenBecky did extremely well for rookie actresses, but I also think that actress Mind, playing Nueng, did amazingly well for the little amount of lines she did. The actresses playing as Sam's friends were hilarious, and the Irin, playing Mon's friend did great, also. Actor Heng, who I have not seen for the first time (SCOY) did not disappoint me, yet once again. I think that the actress playing Grandmother is underrated because she made me hate her, and when she had to became a "good character" I felt empathetic enough to like her again.

MUSIC:
It wasn't bad, I especially like the saxophone in Ep 11.

REWATCH VALUE:
Why wouldn't you rewatch the first GL ever, after tons of them (hopefully) get produced after? I'd love to, to remember how it all started.

OVERALL:
Spectacular. I love Saint for initiating this, and everyone who contributed to this for their hard work. The story is typical, but it's a wlw. So what are you doing here? Go ahead and watch it.

Princess likes you!

One of the best GL series in my opinion

I don’t usually binge watch a series but when it comes to great GL storylines, I’m hooked.

Love between two women is something worth watching and in my opinion, it is one of the best series I’ve seen. I’ve already watched it nearly 10 times and the chemistry between the two protagonists Sam and Mon is quite fantastic.

The pure love of Mon to melt Sam’s coldness is lovely in itself. There are some questionable camera angles that I found confusing at times, but nothing beats the loveliness between the two, I look past the angles, and focus on the angels.

Overall, the soundtrack was cool, mystifying, romantic, the story can be an emotional rollercoaster, but you just have to watch it for yourself. Don’t take my word for it, everyone has their own opinion and we should respect that. After writing this review, I might as well watch it again from the top.

FreenBeck for life ❤️
