didnt take me by storm but still good-ish
LITA was i think only the 2nd BL drama i watched and i honestly did not know what i was starting. It is...a hot mess!Also, I don't have a problem with NC scenes, but idk some hint, a warning that this is a highly spicy series would've been nice because I went into this blind. probably because back then i didnt know who mame was yet but whoo boy!!!
Onto the real review:
LITA consists of 2 stories part one is rainxphayu and part 2 is skyxprapai.
I prefer skyxprapai because i feel like the characters had a lot more depth and realness to them and i enjoyed skyxprapai acting a lot more too. i also think that sky as a standalone character has much more charm than rain as a standalone character!
however the whole stuff about sky's backstory ;-; how tf is prapai going to help him, this man needs therapy!!!
rainxphayu was ok the first time i watched it, but the second time around it just fell flat and became boring and repetitive to me with a weird kidnapping episode which was wasted time they could've used to flesh out phayu and rain as ACTUAL people. why tf did phayu fall in love after seeing rain one (1) time? and then he pursued him weirdly but then again, prapai also had a whole non-con/dub con relationship with sky sooooooo...they're not really prime examples of best boyfriends/best men on earth.
anyways, the NC scenes are choreographed with great detail and are very very steamy which does distract from the sometimes subpar acting.
i actually did enjoy the music! i thought the lyrics were quite clever and i just enjoyed that it changed for when skyxprapai story was happening.
one thing i would change is the editing. the motor race scene from the beginning was shown wayyyy too often in the series, like at least 4 times. it became boring and unnecessary but i guess they spend a lot of money on those scenes?
all in all, not a bad series, don't use it as a moral compas, and just enjoy the hot mess of a ride it is!

Really good to be honest.
I think overall it was a pretty good series and the story really had good parts to it and overall was interesting and had good amount of episodes in it. The music is good but some of the songs I didn't like much because it gave me a headache for some reason because everytime the show would like open kind of I didn't like it and would skip. But other than that it was a really good series. I wouldn't really rewatch it because it was good but not something I'm so so interested in so. I give it a 9 <3Esta resenha foi útil para você?
WORTH YOUR TIME!!!
One thing that genuinely surprised me about this show was the production. My first bl was KinnPorsche, so I came in with high expectations. And I'll tell you that I wasn't disappointed in the least. The production quality was very fine, and even though it felt childish at first, it developed into something of profound meaning to me. They also touched topics of having a good work ethic, trauma, abuse in relationship, rape, sexual assault, and feelings of depression. I liked this part of the drama a lot. I would say it changed my insight on some things. DEFENITELY GIVE IT A WATCH.The characters are lovable, and if I downed the show to one word: worthwhile.

It would be better if they didn't split the series
I was interested in Payu and Rain's storyline, which is the reason I started watching this show. I didn't know the focus shifted halfway through, and I wasn't a huge fan of the second half. The motorcycle storyline went nowhere, and they reference a character constantly and you just...never meet him? They also played the exact same 8-minute or so long clip of the motorcycles being transported like three times. Why.The best part about the show was the chemistry. Both couples felt well thought out in terms of development, and they managed to have two very different couples. I think I just don't like the whole switching to new leads thing they did. I felt like I should have been more invested in the Pai/Sky storyline than I was. It also felt like the show got way too serious way too fast in the second half. Instead of a fun, lighthearted show, it turned into a story of trauma and assault. If they were going to have more serious themes, I wish they would have brought them in towards the beginning of the show, instead of having them all at the end when it's totally unexpected.

Go get yourself a glass of wine. Watch as sequel to some drama that fails you cos this one won't
This drama is unique in its structure. The first half of the drama you are following Payu and Rain, and the second half follows Pai and Sky's relationship. I did not think it possible but I was equally invested in both couples.Starting with the positives, the actors did better than your average bl actors. Also more hot scenes than your average bl that were somehow appropriately distributed. Everyone seemed very invested in those hot scenes and it shows. Cringe was minimal. And the drama worked to develop characters individually, which I greatly appreciated, to understand them better.
I could see how Pai improved in his acting throughout the show, that at some moments he brought tears to my eyes really. From smiles that became his go-to expression (and low key annoying), he be getting cuter tho from ep to ep not gonna lie..
Also, isn't Payu somehow green flagy? Like my man conditioned his partner to focus on his school prior to him. Gotta love man with his priorities straight. Pai was not that at all, but he had his moments.
...and now on weak points. There were really no major disappointments. Despite a lot of turbulence it dragged a bit. Major question mark is I did not understand why would both Payu and Pai fall for Rain and Sky respectively. I mean physical attraction I understand but they did not explain at all what was special about them so those handsome, mysterious, rich, bad boy and smart loners would find in them the love of their life them.
Soundtrack I actually noticed so I gave above average score.
Do not miss this one. This one is for cleansing eyes from you previous failures.

Dull storyline
Its getting along pretty okish just good for a light watch. I really have grown this BL I would have loved if I had watch 2 years back but now I need a good storyline before just bland NC scenes. Good acting ofcourse is a must which this series lacked. And the unnecessary kiddish roles played by boys just don't tempt me. I need mature actors. Don't come on saying I am not an ally enough for not understanding such characters. I would have liked it if they had played it simple but showing how stupid and dumb a character is definitely not a joyous ride to see.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
modern lakorn with hot scenes
It's a lakorn, if you know what i mean... But it's modern and it's got some hot scenes! What else? Not much... Young cast, some better than others.Excellent cinematography, nice camera angles, nice settings, nice details... Fashion & hairdo are a bit weird.
Plot is full of tropes, like the character with a traumatic past and those dom/sub love dynamics (power balance in the two couples is totally off! being patted on the head is something so pleasurable? I almost saw those two subs wiggling their tail...).
It's like one - or two - BL Cinderella's encounter their respective prince.
The comedic element is hardly done right.

Story of Sky and Prapai
I’m glad that they separated the stories of the 2 couples so I could only watch episode 8 to 13 as I absolutely love the story of Sky and Prapai! It begins with exciting NC scene but as I learned more about Sky and realised why he acted like that, I just couldn’t help but caring about this couple! The casting is excellent as well.I did try to watch a few episodes of Rain and Phayu, but I just didn’t get the chemistry between them. Rain’s supposed to be good looking but again I just didn’t feel anything. How they fall in love with each other seems contrived.

Que química meus amigos.
Não assisto muitos doramas nesse estilo mas vi um tiktok do rain e do payu e quase passei mal com a química que esses dois têm, e já fui direto assistir. Gostei bastante da atuação dos atores e da química dos dois casais.Não conheço muito esse mundo dos bls tailândeses, vira e mexe eu tô assistindo um, mas não acompanho muito oq acontece no "fandom", então não entendo muito bem o q tem com a diretora do dorama. Mas foi um dorama bem legal de assistir, a história n é 100% maravilhosa e ótima, acho legal terem abordado assuntos importantes, mas que poderiam ter abordado de uma forma diferente. Mas enfim, estou completamente apaixonada pelos atores, espero muuuito que os casais possam fazer outros doramas juntos, adoraria ver eles atuando em uma história diferente.
Recomendo darem uma chance para a série, não só pelo ótimo trabalho dos atores, mas também para os casais lindos que eles formam.
E, bom, é o q eu sempre penso talvez o q alguém odiou vc possa amar, ou vice versa.
Ah, e antes de assistir da uma olhada nos gatilhos q possam ter.
Para finalizar, vou sentir taanta falta desses casais que conseguiram o q poucos conseguem, me deixar boba de amor por eles. Fico feliz por essa experiência que me deixou feliz em momentos tristes.

Mmmm idk.
I found this show very questionable sometimes. I was left with a bad taste with how the relationships started and the way they then took a turn did not please me completely, it was a bit hard to see the characters in a better way after how they acted the firsts times they met with her later partners, but the truth is that I enjoyed the show, excluding those scenes that bordered on the non-consensual things (between the couples), but for what I've seen in Thai bls this one has not been so bad. Undoubtedly, the ending was a bit rushed, I think it was a plot that could have been deepened more and in a better way, but well...Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Dont compare
I personally LOVE this series and will definitly re-watch it, the actors did AMAZING considering some of them are new to BL and i also liked the stories between PayuRain and PrapaiSky.My problem is iv read most of these reviews and some of you compare bossnoeul and fortpeat, you should not be comparing them its not fair to fortpeat to be compared to bossnoeuls chemistry, its not their fault they arent as comfortable with eachother as bossnoeul, even though fortpeat are close they dont need to be compared to anyone (neither does bossnoeul). And of course their stories are completely different so there is absolutely no need to compare things between them the only thing the stories have in common is that payu and prapai are friends and so are rain and sky.
So please stop comparing them. ❤️

Excelente química, péssimo roteiro
Love in The Air é uma série muito gostosa e fácil de assistir. Ela tem uma trama chiclete (pra não dizer clichê) e personagens fáceis de entender. A química entre os atores é incrível e provavelmente uma das melhores coisas aqui.Entretanto eu continuo não gostando de nada que venha da MAME. E apesar de ser mais sútil, todas as problemáticas das outras obras dela continuam aqui. Rain e Sky são os "passivos" da relação e a construção desses personagens é a típica construção de uma personagem feminina estereotipada. Eles são geniosos, imprudentes, atrevidos e no final dos seus arcos precisam ser salvos de um grupo de homens que tentam (ou ameaçam) estuprar eles.
Já os "ativos" são apresentados como dominantes, perigosos, ricos e homens bem sucedidos que sempre conseguem o que querem. O fato de ambos trabalharem para a máfia em NADA tem relevância na história e só é apresentado ali pra criar esse ar de periculosidade nos personagens.
A trama não se aprofunda em nada e a decisão de dividir os casais em dois arcos é um erro. O problema é que o primeiro arco é mais leve e sensual, com um romance rápido e quando o segundo arco chega, a impressão é que a série pisa no freio e repete as mesmas interações do primeiro arco.
Eu gosto muito do tempo que eles levam para desenvolver o Sky e os traumas dele. Mas ambos os finais são desnecessários. Eles criam um vilão aleatório para ameaçar o Rain e a volta do ex do Sky é algo que não me agrada em nada.
Não é uma série ruim, longe disso, mas tampouco é uma obra prima como dizem. As atuações são bem medianas, a direção não tem estilo e a história é uma tanto rasa e simples. Ela funciona por repetir a mesma fórmula das outras séries da autora e por ter atores que entregam ótimas cenas de intimidade.
