How a simple story can be enhanced by execution and acting
•Love in the Air is a fairly simple story for me, as I have read countless books and novels that have a similar concept. But through its production value, script choices, acting and top-notch chemistry, the show was able to create a long-lasting impression on me.
•The 13 episodes are basically divided into two parts, which is pretty interesting for me. I like this approach since it gives both couples equal amount of screentime and we as viewers can explore their relationship in depth. Given that both the pairs of couples had some prominent developments in their storyline, this choice seems fair and reasonable. If their stories were to go simultaneously, then there would've been a lot of filler scenes and cramping in 45 minutes. The first six and half of seventh episode focus on PhayuRain's story and then the remaing episodes focus on PrapaiSky's development.
•PhayuRain are by far my favourite. Their story might appear convention since the dynamic between the two is a typical dominant top x submissive bottom one, with a lot of sweet and fluffy elements. But that's where it's charm lies. I really enjoyed seeing how the clever and cunning Phayu managed to get the naive and confused Rain to fall for him without the latter even realising it. There were minor scenes which gave second hand embarassment (iykyk) , but overlooking that, I was still able to enjoy it. Phayu may across as arrogant and narcissistic, but he is actually caring and loves Rain unconditionally. He is also protective and will sacrifice his respect if it means saving Rain's life. Meanwhile, Rain is also pretty lovesick. Of course, he is dumb, innocent and easily trusting, but he is also protective and feisty when it comes to his man. Their dynamic was very sweet and BossNoeul's chemistry made their romance even more believable. The NC scene was on fire.
•PrapaiSky are one of the most legendary side couples I have seen in Bl dramas. They're so good that I would've definitely had second couple syndrome hadn't I had noticed PhayuRain first. Their story is more preferred because it had substance in the form of the angst that came from Sky's past. Though it wasn't nothing new to me, but the execution was compelling enought for me to continue with the story. Their dynamic is basically that of the black cat (Sky) and golden retriever (Prapai). Now, many people have issues with Prapai's character having a stalkerish personality, as he used to constantly text message Sky despite of the latter's constant resistance and blockings. Well, that's bad, but I must say that if Prapai gave in, Sky would've probably never taken an intiative and would be still stuck with the trauma and insecurities his ex caused him. On the brighter side, Prapai had a complete 360° change and completely devoted himself to Sky. He turned from a play boy to a green flag, and I appreciate the change. Sky also learnt to appreciate himself and understood the unbiased love Prapai has for him. FortPeat also have a major role in bringing their characters emotions and tensions to life. Their NC scene was also nothing short of sexual tension and hotness.
•Overall, this drama has completely captivated me with its stellar performance and concise story. There two categories of viewers for this- those who enjoy it and those who find it boring/offensive. I definitely one who like it, and kind off eyeballs the flaws, but the pros definitely outweigh the cons.
