My favorite series of 2024! The best!
The series is based on Cha Planoy's novel of the same title. I have read the novel before episode 1 started airing and was eagerly waiting to see this series because the story in the novel is so good - full of drama, plot twists and a very genuine solid love between childhood friends, Wan and Pleng.I have been watching a couple of GLs lately, some I don't even continue to ep 2 or finish because of cringey acting or unlikeable characters. But, trust me, Affair is totally serving natural, raw and convincing acting. No cringe, no awkward scenes. And, because of this, I have been obsessed with this series. Sonya (Pleng) and Lookmhee (Wan), the leads, gave it their all in portraying their roles and did the scenes wholeheartedly and without hesitation. Their intimate scenes reflects the passion, desire, longing and love that they feel for each other - and will totally keep the audience wanting for more. Their acting is impressive that's why I am grateful for these two for giving us such a great show.
The story, if you have not read the book, is very unpredictable. But even if you have read the book, it will still leave you wanting to see the next episodes. That's how good it is.
I think if you're a sucker for true love films, or for fighting for love against all odds, you have to watch this series. I think this is for everyone - straight and non-straight. It is a masterpiece.

Highly recommend!
I love how this story is told—it’s raw but still delicate, not overdone or cringy (at all). The director’s vision is BOLD and so good! The production ties it all together perfectly. The sound and cinematography (especially how they use light and shadow) are spot on. I really love and respect LMSY for taking on such complex and intimate roles with so much courage. Their performances feel natural and show just how talented they are. What a giftWas this review helpful to you?
The bar for GLs has been raised too high
This year of GLs I have watched everything from Blank to Loyal Pin to 23.5 , but this GL has set the bar high. From acting ,to the plotline ,dialogues to the intimate scenes all of it was soo well written and produced .If GLs need to go global like BLs there needs to be quality like this .I would definitely rewatch this if Netflix buys this.Was this review helpful to you?
