The Time Of Fever

The Time of Fever

Quick review of recent gl series

The Loyal Pin:

We've all been waiting for this one. The budget is through the roof and Freen and Becky's acting is better than ever. Anil is horny 24/7 and we're all here for it. Impeccable palace vibes and beautiful food servings. The long distance hit too close to home, it really made me relate to the characters.

It's hilarious to me that Thailand's Ministry of Commerce invested in this saucy love story between two women, right as they passed marriage equality laws there. What a time to be alive.

Well, I've really been enjoying this one but I guess now it's time for the angst.

Affair:

This one caught me by surprise. I went in with neutral expectations. The scene about Pleng's parents was straight out of a telenovela, which... Is not my cup of tea. The dialogue could be a bit better but the chemistry is definitely there. I mean, they're "casually" touching and eye-fcking most of the time. Way to blur the line between friendship and romance! Phew. But Pleng seemed a bit too entitled growing up, so the time skip drew me in a lot more. Wan is so ride or die, what a character! She definitely makes the show for me. I'm excited for what's coming.

Reverse 4 You:

You guys, this one was a long-time coming and I'm so hyped that it's finally airing! Teenage me was sobbing at the computer while playing Life Is Strange, so this one was tailored for me.

There is so much action in each episode. I was bummed when I saw it would be just 8 45-minute episodes, but they really made the best of their time. The story is compelling from the start. The two sisters are so sweet, it really made me root for them from the first minute. (I want to protect Vivi at all costs! TT) Jattawa is so relatable sometimes that it makes me laugh heartily. With rent this cheap, a ghost would make a fine roommate!

The romance is pretty cute, too. Four gives me major Carmilla vibes with her dark and grumpy attitude. I always loved a "I don't like anyone but you" romance, where the grumpy one is secretly a softie who just needed some love. Four's such a gentleman to Wa, as well. We love to see it. I need them to kiss asap... They didn't even get to it before the tragic plot twist.

I'm bracing myself for the incoming angst. I knew it was coming and I trust the writers to deliver a sweet ending. But it will still hurt my gay little heart to watch...

Unlock Your Love:

I wanted to like this one more than I do, just like with their first show Lucky My Love. The production is a bit low-budget, which would be fine if it compensated with a good script, but even the script feels pretty basic. (I have high standards for dialogue, it must be said.) Props to the cast for doing their damndest with what they were given. Bmine has an infectious smile and the two actresses work pretty well together.

The grumpy character is a tad too rude for me in this one, I'll admit. Bitter and frontal. But I'm sure that suddenly she'll be nicer, once she starts liking the other girl. The secondary couple has this odd will-they-won't-they thing going on, where one moment there's rejection and the next they're flirting, but it's sweet enough for the kind of mood the show is going for. Overall, this show is like the TV version of those romance pocket novels one finds in secondhand bins, but it has heart. Like their first show, it has a simple, straightforward premise and it delivers full fluff in small doses.

fuck i just realized the magician's daughter's name is cherry.

cherry magic.

I am so confused. Did Intouch hire that guy to hurt Ob-aun?

If so, how is he sitting on their couch at the end and no one is beating his ass??? Shan's mother even brings him to the house after he blinds her son???

I know Thailand loves a forgiveness storyline, but WTF?

The first teaser for Every Me, Every You dropped today and I almost missed it (but not as much as I missed Mick and Top on my screen). 🥰
