Kept waiting for it to get better

After the success of Love in the Air, I was curious as to what the actors would do next, so naturally I tried Love Sea. Unfortunately, this one really missed the mark for me. It was extremely average, with the most predictable plot imaginable. While the actors did a fine job, their characters didn't feel all that different from their roles in LITA, and the story kind of went no where.

Tongrak (Peat) is a wealthy, very successful author who decides to take a trip to an island to get over his writer's block. On the island he meets Mahasamut (Fort), who shows him around and takes care of him. While on the island, the two start hooking up, and Tongrak decides he wants Mahasamut to come back to Bangkok with him, where he'll pay him to basically be his live-in boyfriend. They enter into this contract with one condition: no falling in love. However, Mahasamut claims from the start that he can't agree to that one term.

For at least the first seven episodes, this show was frankly kind of boring. I'm just not a huge fan of the friends with benefits to lovers concept, and this one was exceptionally predictable. I thought of dropping this drama so many times but kept thinking that it had to get more interesting. While it picked up towards the end, even then I felt like we weren't really getting anywhere with the relationship or the characters. I think this is only worth watching if you're a big fan of Fort and Peat.
