Ai Long Nhai (2022)

La historia es simple pero linda.

La historia es simple, incluso diría que tiene mucho relleno. Los personajes principales no tienen mucho trasfondo aparte de tal vez Ai. Aun así el tema de su madre no se resuelve, sentí que solo está ahí para causar un conflicto que encima solo sirve para dos o tres capítulos.

Creo que su principal falta es sobre los personajes secundarios, sus historias las tocaron mínimamente, ni siquiera exploraron en ellas, les falta trasfondo, podrían no estar y no harían ninguna diferencia.

Lo que más ame y por lo que la seguía viendo era por Jonan y Sib. Personalmente me gustaría ver más de ellos.

La historia tiene huecos y varias fallas, principalmente con los personajes secundarios, la historia es linda, pero le falta bastante. Podría esperar esto de una serie de menos capítulos, pero para la cantidad que tiene y la duración de estos pudo ser mejor serie. Es linda de ver aunque hay mejores.

standard university Thai BL

Overall: this is a classic Thai university BL, it's not going to win awards but I was entertained. 12 episodes about 40 minutes each (I watched on double speed) on YouTube, Viki and iQIYI (dependent upon country).

Content Warnings: non con picture taking, manipulation, non con touching (asleep), see the comments with a spoiler about potentially something else, stalking, kick, dub/non con kiss (asleep), vomiting, domestic abuse/slap

What I Liked
- that Ai actually had a conversation about his love at first sight
- happy to see two queer actors Arm and Porsch (who are a real life couple) are in a BL
- several cute moments
- funny moments (but some were likely unintentionally funny)
- Nhai's dad
- I dislike the circumstances of that scene in episode 2 but this was the best handled out of all that I've seen with clear check ins, aftercare, etc.
- they communicate with one another/poor communication doesn't drag on (also they avoided the ep 11 curse)

Room For Improvement
- I liked the initial set up and thought we'd see Ai struggling with Nhai's flaws but instead Nhai became reluctant and petty with Ai head over heels in love for unknown reasons
- multiple side couples were tossed in but not developed
- cartoonish villain
- that finale was...a choice, open plot threads, kind of jumped from scene to scene (still had cute moments though)
- how the dads acted in that flashback was terrible (also not a clear flashback)
- nonsense things (Nhai is in aerospace engineering?, how they packed all that stuff camping, etc)
- subtitles on iQIYI had quite a few errors but I didn't take off points for it although I think it hurt the audience's understanding of the plot
- in ep 2 I wish they didn't have Nhai directly crying afterwards because it seemed like he didn't want to, however I actually don't think that's the case. It was a combo of reasons including Nhai worrying 1. he forced Ai, 2. he ruined their friendship and 3. he got in between Ai and Ai's crush (because Nhai hadn't figured it out yet lol)

Title Information - a wonderful person explained in the comments what Long in the title means: "Fall/drown in love in thai means "ttok long rak" , "long" is the short form of this so yea the title means the story of how Ai fall/drown in love with Nhai"
