This was bad...

I just wrapped up the series, and I can't believe people actually enjoyed it. Anueng behaves like a pre-teen, almost like an 11 or 12-year-old girl, which is really off-putting.

The pacing felt incredibly rushed, especially regarding Nueng's feelings for Anueng. There was no believable transition from annoyance to love. One moment, Nueng is frustrated with Anueng, and then suddenly, she gazes into her eyes as if she's in love. It all felt too quick and artificial, lacking any genuine development.

The age difference doesn't bother me since they're both adults, but as I mentioned, immature behavior is unsettling. It's hard to believe that any woman over 30 would be attracted to someone who behaves like a child. The plot twist involving Nueng's ex-friend having feelings for Nueng, and the fact that Nueng's ex slept with her friend, leading to Anueng being their daughter, felt rushed again.

The relationship between Anueng and her mother feels strained, yet suddenly, the mother seeks to connect with her daughter. Meanwhile, the guy accepts Anueng as his daughter in 1 second. He says he doesn’t need a paternity test since Anueng is so cute, implying that her charm is proof enough lol. If I were in his position, I’d pause to think. I would certainly wonder if she’s truly mine.

The pacing is so hurried that it diminishes the emotional weight of the story, leaving me unable to invest in any of the characters.

This GL series is, without a doubt, the most visually striking one I've ever come across.

I’m not here to spoil the story in my review; I simply want to express my feelings.

Initially, I didn’t expect much from the series. Yet, Freen and Becky have shown remarkable growth since their last project together.

The series is so mesmerizing that I felt as if I had stepped into a fairytale. The visuals are absolutely stunning!

Freen and Becky share an incredible chemistry that genuinely makes it seem like they are in love. Their interactions feel authentic and effortless, creating a warm and fuzzy feeling inside. You can truly sense the bond between them, leaving you eager for more of their charming moments together. This is what makes their portrayals of Anin and Pin so remarkable—they breathe life into these characters in a way that feels authentic.

I have to admit, there are times when I really can't stand kissing and love scenes. This feeling applies not only to GL but also to BL and straight series. Why is that? Because these scenes often feel so awkward and cringy. I often find myself watching them at twice the speed or just looking away to avoid the cringe. It seems like many actors don’t have the chemistry (or the confidence) needed, and they perform these scenes just because they’re part of the script.

I've mentioned before that the connection between Freen and Becky is exceptional, and that's precisely why their intimate scenes are so beautifully crafted. You can tell they aren't just performing these moments to check a box; they genuinely feel at ease with each other. This comfort translates into their scenes, making them feel authentic and enjoyable rather than clumsy or uncomfortable. If you’re like me and often feel uncomfortable during such scenes, I promise you’ll love how these are portrayed.

This series has a charm that makes it so easy to watch again. I can definitely see myself coming back to it after some time because it feels like it will never go out of style.

This series turned me into a true fan of Freen and Becky. Before watching The Loyal Pin, I was just a casual viewer, but now I’m genuinely excited to support their acting careers and follow their journey. I hope they team up again in another series, but I’m also keen to check out any other projects (non-GL) they pursue, as they’ve really grown into amazing actresses.

Is this series worth your time? Absolutely! You'll feel as if you've stepped into a genuine fairytale, witnessing a heartfelt love story unfold between two women deeply in love.

The actresses showcase fantastic chemistry and deliver impressive performances!

The plot could use some improvement. I really enjoyed the beginning; those sweet moments were delightful. Lada's mother, on the other hand, is quite the villain, which is unfortunate for her. It's tough to see how manipulative her mother is, but every drama needs a bit of evil to create tension.

However, what I found frustrating was when Earn decided to eat the dessert despite knowing she’s allergic to bananas. Eating a banana in the hospital was also a poor choice—it felt immature and a bit lazy in terms of writing, just to force a reconnection between the two characters. Testing someone's affection by bringing your allergy into the mix is quite dumb.

I'm not comfortable with scenes where characters engage in sex after one of them has been drinking. It feels wrong when someone has clearly expressed that they don't want you in their life, yet another person takes advantage of their intoxication.

Even if the drunk individual is still in love with you, it would be more respectful to suggest waiting until they're sober to see if they still feel the same way.

It seems rather immature for them to play jealousy games after having spent the night together. Given that one of the characters is a doctor, I would expect a bit more maturity from her. If their intimate encounter hadn’t taken place, I might be more understanding of this whole "trying to make each other jealous" storyline.

Later on, they seem to be on good terms, but I wish we could see more of their journey. What really brought them together? It wasn't that night they spent together, especially since they were just trying to make each other jealous not long ago.

Another misunderstanding occurs, leading to more tension between them. I realize that a shift is necessary (for the drama to be more dramatic), as I mentioned, when they were getting along for that brief moment, it felt incredibly rushed. Because of that, I didn’t really mind when they fell out again. Now, they’re attempting to start fresh, but it feels just as hurried this time.

I feel that the frequent use of "go away, I don’t want to see you" followed by moments of getting along has become tiresome, causing the plot to lose its strength.

The remarkable chemistry shared by the lead actresses helped the series avoid being just average.

Very cute series!!!

Do you feel like watching something heartwarming? Craving some cuteness? Want a story that avoids toxic characters? A series that guarantees a smile? Then look no further; this is the series you need!


The story is quite simple, yet it was done beautifully. I was confused at how Hiroko was so certain that Ayaka was straight, even though it was evident that Ayaka had feelings for her. But sometimes in real life, the lines can blur when it comes to feelings. If someone has a crush on you, their friendly behavior might lead you to believe they’re just being nice. On the flip side, there are also those who are simply kind without any romantic intentions.

I absolutely adored Ayaka; she’s just so adorable! However, I truly hope she embraces a new style for herself, not just to please Hiroko. It’s possible that she always wanted to wear cute outfits but lacked the confidence. When Hiroko expressed her fondness for those styles, it might have given Ayaka the push she needed to explore new fashion choices.

It cracks me up how Hiroko reveals all the juicy details at the bar. She’s so clueless, it’s just too funny!

Ayaka's preparation of a meal for Hiroko was incredibly sweet, and her bubbling excitement for the business trip only amplified her cuteness. Ayaka was exceptionally bold on that business trip; her comments had me giggling nonstop. She was really trying hard.

The chemistry between the actresses was fantastic! I really enjoyed their shopping "date," especially Ayaka with those adorable bunny ears—she was just too cute!

Risa is such a delightful character; I absolutely adore her! I appreciate how she stands by Ayaka's side, unlike in some shows where a character with a crush tries to create drama and disrupt relationships. She truly embodies what it means to be a great friend!

The ending was lovely and heartwarming. While the series was short, it’s often true that a shorter format can be more effective than a lengthy series with over ten episodes that run longer than 45 minutes, especially when several episodes feel like a drag.

I'm really happy I missed the airing of this series because it allowed me to binge-watch it all at once! It's such an adorable show that's perfect for a binge-watching session.

After watching two episodes, I've come to the conclusion that this series isn't my cup of tea.

I’m constantly on the lookout for new GL series, but the acting was disappointing.

Right from the start, I felt a wave of annoyance as the coworkers were excessively dramatic. Their acting skills were lacking, to say the least. But since they were just random characters, I decided to brush it off. I just want to highlight that it’s unusual for a series to irritate me so quickly.

The cheating boyfriend? The way the infidelity was "found out" came across as poorly executed...

Plus, what was going on at the bar with that woman touching another woman's cheek with her nose? It was just cringeworthy.

Sadly, the second episode failed to make me eager for the next one. I don't feel a strong connection to any of the characters.

I wasn't particularly moved by the flashbacks either. Even though Rain is Love's love at first sight, the scenes from the past didn’t make me feel any excitement about them meeting eachother again.

I was hoping to find more GL series to enjoy, but this one just isn't hitting the mark for me. While Love and Rain are beautiful, the plot feels weak, and sadly, the acting can't save it.
