That dick was not 3,680.80 good

Hey gang and we are done. That was a pretty good show. I am going to rate it and then write my review. Had to change my Grammarly to less formal, lol. And we are back and I now have two reviews to write. I finished this show 4 days ago now. 8.9 out of 10. So 9 out of 10, let's break it down, spoiler style! Also not checking the grammar on this.

Sexy love money: "Haven’t we been here before? I know why y’all here and y’all know why I’m here. Fort and peat bruh. I don’t even know what’s happening, but I’m already obsessed. Okay, so I don't know anyone's name but Peat's character is a writer and a shut-in, which is so real, and Fort's character is some bad boy who is paid to look after him? I guess." Starting off their dynamic, it was pretty weird, but I liked it. It was a master and a servant kind of vibe and not really in a good way. I don't remember anyone's names anymore, lol. Rak and Mut, there we go. Rak was very "emotionally suppressed and reserved, hence why his emotions come out so quickly." Which we ended up seeing until the very end, which was a good consistency. He wasn't sure how love worked or anything past work because of the way he was raised and the way that he thought. I was thirsting over mut: "OOO BABY, I WISH I WAS THE NET MUT WAS HOLDING BECAUSE GOD MOTHER FUCKING DAMN." It was a good start but I was still very confused.

Love is just a figment of your imagination: That was the quote for the rest of the damn series, lol. Also, I finished this in a day, which mentally overloaded me. They have genuinely some of the best tension I have ever seen and we really saw that again for this drama. "I would be writing about what that tongue does in my romance novel if I {were} Rak." Vile ass line by me, dude. Peak the sex scene that " I don't even know how you have sex like that. Like how? You know what? Don't ask questions you don’t want the answers to, lol." Rak gives off a very standoff kind of vibe, and I love main characters like that. "THAT DICK BETTER BE HITTING YOUR FUCKING BRAIN IF YOU ARE GIVING HIM THAT MUCH MONEY." Also have my headline now. Rak's eyes were such a cry for help, dude, and I really wished they delved into the lore behind it more.

The best friend, whose name I can't remember, was such a case of "weaponized fucking incompetence, pretending to not be able to do shit." Also, Rak owns one pair of shorts because why was he wearing those so fucking much? Rak was very insecure and not used to compliments so he would shut Mut down whenever he said something remotely nice, which came to bite them both in the ass at the end. "FORT IS SO FINE AND HE KNOWS IT. Why does Rak have the most seductive pajamas on? I love hickies in dramas; it brings them to life even more. The difference in their outfits is very cute and I love it. They both have Daddy issues. They have sex a lot and that's real. Loud moaner though because I HAVE THE VOLUME ON ONE AND I CAN STILL HERE HIM. More hickies. That is a lot. They have crazy tension." THEY WERE FUCKING EATING UP THESE SEX SCENES; THE ACTING, THE LINES, THE LIGHTNING, THE MAKEUP, THE CONTRAST, EVERYTHING WAS PERFECT. One thing was that they had only known each other for less than two weeks and were already so enamored with one another.

3,680.80: Rich people scare me. New headline because this one is funnier. " It is kind of hard for someone to uproot their whole life for you." Mut dropping everything for someone he just met was crazy. Me thirsting over fort and peat: "Fort looks so good, I can't. He and this body are making me crazy. PEAT IS SO FINE HOLY FUCK. THESE GLANCES GIRL MUT GET IN LINE DUDE." The difference in their outfits and demeanor is what I live for. "You can't stop me from loving you." Mut. That line was deep as fuck. Parents and family very much affect the way you look at love and we find that out later on Rak's part.

"Trying to blow money on him to make up for the mistreatment because Rak doesn't understand what love is." That is real.

"They match each other's freak, lol. He said say less. I love how these sex scenes feel—very cutesy, very manure." Very meta. I wish we got to see more of Kom and Connor instead of just a one-off thing; I liked their dynamic. "These rich guys are going to the South and buying hot guys. Dude what. Kom was bought too." We meet Meena, who was the random kid in the sign special episode. We meet Rak's creepy ass dad. "Everyone keeps saying Rak is scared of his dad; I need more lore; I have seen some of it but not all of it." And that was all of the lore they showed us. I am kind of disappointed, not going to lie; they could have done so much more with that. Throughout the whole show, they hyped up his dad being this horrible monster and I mean, he was in one flashback. Then other than that, he just was weird. I wish they developed that more so I could get more into it.

Peat is such a good actor, it is insane. "They have a 10-year age gap in this, that is insane. That changes their dynamic a lot actually." There was a lot happening but none of it was writing down worthy.

"The return of the past is telling me that shit is going to come back in full swing very very soon. Not to be that person but his dad is kind of bad. Like the actor. Not to be that person though. I AM SORRY BUT WHOSE DADDY IS THIS BECAUSE GOD MOTHER FUCKING DAMN? I really can't explain it but he is very attractive. Not a single bit of remorse in the dad's voice, he really doesn't care. That is fucked up that his dad is making him choose." The manipulation that the dad was doing to get everyone around Rak away from him was so good, but they didn't use it for anything. I wish they did.

"This man has created generational fucking trama dude, so he was bad. Even if we haven't seen that, the way everyone is around him. Even with Prin, the way she was wary and flinched around him. Generational with the shits. The mood of this changed so gradually that it is almost perfect. Your wife, your two kids, your niece, and your grandchildren—that is fucked up. That is generational dude." They just didn't show us this monster's full form. " Also, I hope they are going to do another series together because they are both really good actors and really good together, so hopefully they do at least one more." 

"150k is tapping into his own shit dude. He only gave him 122k that we have seen. There are two sides to this coin and I understand both. Rak doesn't want him to get hurt and he loves him so much that he is invalidating his own feelings and Mut loves him so much, more than money. If push comes to shove, when you love someone, you have to let them go. Rak is suffering so much dude, I wish Mut would just stay put but I understand his feelings one hundred percent. Rak is an alcoholic struggling with an eating disorder and overall he is lonely and doesn't really have many friends. Rak fucked him up so bad holy shit. That garbage truck is a good symbol of their love. "You can't escape them as long as you're still breathing." That is a deep-ass way to look at love, dude. Full circle. From the first, I love you, from the first time meeting to coming to Bangkok, to the bracelet to all of this trama. From the first I love, from the final time meeting to coming to the island, to the bracelet, to getting rid of all this trama. This "daddy" voice would make me cave so fast. A tear just ran down my leg type shit." And that was it.

I mean, it was good. Would I recommend it? Meh, sort of but not really. I liked it for the most part, but some of the plot was kind of blurry and bad. If you want sex with some heavy shit at the end that is not fleshed out then go ham and watch it. Then again I don't care. Stay woke. Okay bye!

This is one of the most interesting bl drama I've ever watched.

It's is quite engaging. Only Peat and Fort could do this so well. Like whenever Peat bites his lips looking at Fort, I almost lose myself. It is cute when 'Rak tries to deny his love 'Mut but we all know that he is sooo in love. And this drama also summoned the whole LITA fandom. the guest roles for Boss and Noeul made me feel like I was in heaven. I look forward to LITA part 2 ors smthng. Ohh, I'm sooo inlove with LITA gang. I really really recommend this for the newbies to bl drama's. And of course LITA. I just finished this. I love it. Sad that the drama has ended. but i hope there's a special episode. I would love one.

Mixed feelings about this BL

I have never seen the two leads before, so I cannot compare it to their previous roles. I dont even know who they are. I saw many reviewers giving a 10 to this series, which I find interestingly funny. What? 10 for a drama which is quite flat, no suspense, no romantic sparks? I find both guys irritating. The synopsis above only mentions the "irritating Southern guy" when in fact the writer is much more irritating to me. I just couldn't stand his spoiled, arrogant city boy attitude, and yet I kept on watching this series. Ha ha.

I'm already watching episode 3 now. Yes, you get a glimpse of the family and past lives of both leads, but it all seems like being 'cut and paste" for the audience to hear. Not sure how they will fit into the story. I also don't get the connection with the side couple, an actress and a secretary, and dont see how their role fits into the story . This is not a BL which makes me anxiously wait for each week. Ther is no excitement. It does not make me feel emotionally involved with the story. But oh well, Im patient enough to see what will eventually happen with the two guys. So maybe I'll just binge-watch it when it comes to the end or near the end.

I may change my mind later, but so far the only things I like are the scenery: the sea and the beach and the two leads' cute faces.

"To your uncle, 8 isn't a number. it's infinity."

I've watched this series every week since the day episode one came out. I originally started it because I enjoyed the actors, but I quickly fell in love with the plot. Throughout the story, you get to see how generational trauma can have a strong hold on people. Even down to the last episode, Tongrak suffered due to his past. I found this feature incredibly realistic. many shows like this show characters "coping" with trauma and getting over it in just a few episodes, and it can often feel like a mockery to real trauma. this story did a wonderful job. 10/10. (8/10 for Tongrak)

A Rather Deep Series

This series is exceptional, surprisingly. I was not expecting it to affect me as deeply as it did, but one had to frankly get through a lot of cacophony to get to the story. But once you did, and evaluated that, it was much deeper than most viewers, I think, realized. It honestly left me emotionally drained. This series, I felt. What brought this series down and unfortunately way down was the awful peripheral (I guess) GL portion. I am not sure the reason to throw that into the mix as it added nothing to the story. If I were doing this story, I would have begun with the last episode as the first and then told the story of how they got there. Only them, with then the essential figures influencing the story. We could undoubtedly have understood what made both ‘tick’. These two are fascinating individuals and I wanted to know who they were. All we saw were glimpses and shadows of who they were. I did not want to find that out only in the end. The two of them fascinated me as a couple.
You can read my full review of this rather well done series (minus the GL portion) at BLBliss.com

THEY GOT US AT FIRST TWO EPISODES ONLY

I am sorry , I have decided to drop this one, only the first 2 episodes were promising, and the next episode were ridiculous, I didn't understood why the leads had sex on first episodes and then on the later episodes , Tongrak seems shy again like nothing happened between them when Mahasamut started flirting with him, Tongrak acted as if Mahasamut has not touched him yet.
The taking Mahasamut to Bangkok was I thought exciting but It was not, its like almost is never enough feeling like I did not know what hindered the momentum, I was irritated with the assistant girl with her worried face and expression, she is pretty but , the way she acted and always washing her face with that expression was so annoying, and she is so annoying over all from the very start and the contract with Mahasamut it was overused ! like have they even thought of a different plot? and it was all over acting , like Tongrak have taken Mahasamut to Bangkok and then suddenly There was a contract ?? Mahasamut is a dumb ,
I cannot go on any longer with this drama , I felt bad I wanted to see more of Fortpeat , maybe I'll check later if they are gonna have a new drama together , I hope for a better story. This is only my opinion pls don't hate me, if the drama doesn't suit on my taste , well maybe suited with others , it's okay , if you think you can waste you time with this, its fine go for it , but me? naaa

It’s an entertaining show

As expected from Thai series , especially from MAME, the first episode so far is just about the chemistry of Lead actors and their acting skills… After reading the book, the story has solid plot. But just waiting to see how it transpires in the series.
The lead characters are Tongrak and Mahasamut. Mahasamut is playful, happy go lucky but playfully annoying to Tongrak. While Tongrak is fragile but arrogant kitten type. They both had their own traumas from past.
From 1st episode I can say, their chemistry on screen is so good. Tongrak/Peat is so beautiful while Mut is handsome. They carried the emotional scene so well.
It’s a good entertainer so far.

MAME's Bed Friend

Those who had seen Bed Friend, will have a terrible feeling of déjà vu while watching this one since the plot set up seems to be practically the same.: a no nonsense guy gets into a contract binding sex relationship with a fairy like writer saddled with some serious family trauma. I know that in fiction the topics (tropes: enemies to lovers "Pride & Prejudice", revenge "Monte Cristo" etc...) have been invented a long time ago and that it is just the writer's role to make it stand out with the way they deal with it. So MAME going with the plot similar to Bed Friend did not bother me very much. So much so, that this became the first Mame's drama I actually finished since Tharn Type. I really enjoyed the spin on the friends with benefits trope! Moreover, the actors reminded me very much of James and Net, same type of actor for the same type of roles!

Rak suffering from writer's block goes to an island to rest where he is taken care of by Mut, the local man of all trades. While Rak piles on injuries on Mut, he just laughs them off, playing along. Until, a few days into the stay, they find that they cannot keep their hands off each other. After the two week honeymoon period, Rak offers Mut to pay him if he accompanies him back to Bangkok.

I loved the character of Mut: he is honest to the core, does not gossip and respect other people's privacy, he has a solid moral backbone, a very unusual trait in dramas! He is of course a cliché seme: strong, masculine, often wearing dark colours and definitely a domineering presence in spite of being a younger character. He does not change much throughout the drama.
On the other hand, Rak is on the surface smooth, elegant, strong and rich man. But lightly scratch that surface and out come all the traumas and insecurities from his childhood. His character develops backwards somehow: when we first see him he is a mature, strong, smart, confident and cocky adult all dressed in black but as the drama progresses he changes for the worse becoming, insecure, weak borderline child, pouting and hiding. The ending sees him all dressed in white and talking in baby voice! How about that for development? From the onset of their relationship it was perfectly obvious that Mut is the more mature person there. The relationship dynamic is very much a classical BL trope.

I did not mind the pay to love theme of the drama because it was not the important part. Mut has seen that Ruk has many insecurities hidden and that he tries to hide behind the money so he accepts to be bought in order to try to break down Ruk's walls behind which he has been hiding. The payment he accepts is just means to an end!

I wish they had delved deeper into the trauma part, it was very superficial and the very person who could have and should have dealt with that trauma and its causes (Ruk's mother!) is nowhere to be seen. Why? She stays in the beckground and acepts not to see her children in years? There is so much story there that they should have explored more. Or really explained the reasons behind Prim's (Ruk's cousin) extreme jealousy: that whole subplot was badly developped!

The music is the usual thai bl music: funky and forgettable with the obligatory a cappella beginning of the song in emotionally charged scenes (kissing etc.). I wish they would at least try to be original and stop giving us a copy paste original soundtrack.

And yet, in spite of all these flaws, I enjoyed this drama very much: the chemistry was solid, the bickering relationship fun to watch, the best friend Vie and the part of the second couple GL was perfect (for once there was no second BL couple but only one GL) and the GL story was cute even though the actress playing Mook grimaced too much!

I liked this drama more than I thought I would!

I have no words....

So far through out the story the relationship between peat and fort was cute until peat just completely got on my nerves!
The first episode was cute and exiting because I was able to watch another drama that included both fort and peat as the main roles. The acting was great I received a lot of emotions from Fort but Peats acting felt like he didn't even want to be there :/
If I was to compare Peats acting from love in the air and sea series his plot is always the same and he didn't even try this time. I hate it when bottoms always have to make up excuses just for their relationship to get shit, like I'm sorry if you don't believe in love then don't go round paying other to make out with.

Honestly I loved the chemistry between Fort and Peat but the only problem between them wasn't their past lives but Peat. All the I don't love you and shit you can shuv up your bum because it got annoying to the point I wanted to go to Thailand myself, find Peat and punch him.

With the GL part of the drama I didn't like the way Muk was all lovely dovely, at first I was fine with it until it kept on going on to the point it was cringy and fake. I honestly don't blame the actress I blame the director and script because wtf.....
Im so sorry but I feel like they should completely redo the whole special episode because the whole entire series not even the special episode at this point, we wasn't told or shown how tf Mut and Vie even got together.......

I don't hate Love Sea The Series but I believe if Peat was more into his character and that there wasn't any excuses being told from the characters past life just to find conflict between the relationship and also that we were told how Mut and Vie got together I don't think people would have a problem with the series, but also one more thing is that I hated the fact when Peat called the Island his home knowing damn well his home was in the city :/

I also hated the fact that Peats dad didn't even dare to harm a little bug which made his appearance week and small like a little girl but the one thing I wont stop calling Peats dad is a white pedo.

IM NOT TRYING TO HATE ON ANYONE OR ANYTHING ITS JUST WHAT BUGED ME THE MOST.

This is a very good movie. the plot was okay and the actors were really good except peat. I think he needs to improve his crying scenes to be more realistic, personally I have a hard time watching him cry it doesn't feel that much real compared to when Fort cries. I really like the ending where Peat comes for Fort at the island to say sorry, however it feels as if the scenes were just added on top, like an added scene which was not originally there bcz personally for me, it was kinda rushed and all that.

however, the writer, the director, the actors and the crew team worked really hard. Nailed it.... looking forward to another series between Fort and Peat...

Photography and actors got me...

First of it I'm biased, as I know the actors for previous series and I like them a lot. I was also drawn to the photography and the editing and wanted to see more work if that team.
As a photographer, the photography in this series doesn't dissapoint, we start in the island so we had beautiful landscapes really well captured. The editing is really good on the eyes, beautifully done. The music helps to create the mood and the effects for the comedy parts are funny.
The actors really did a great job getting ready for this series, they learned scuba diving and also free diving. They had a crew for the diving scenes for security and help.
One of the actors also learned the suthern dialec of the area.
The range of both of them portraying motions are really good.
We had another characters that are developing another story, and had their fun moments as well, I'm looking forward to see them more.
So far we are 4 episodes in:
1, Meet the characters. And little bit of their dinamic. episode
2, Know more deeply one of our main characters, we already know both had hard moments in life. episode
3 The relationship between the main couple starts to develope and we know more of both of them
[SPOILER ALERT]
4 A transition where they go to Bangkok and we see how Rak change in his environment.
[END OF SPOILER]

Can't wait to see more!!
