One of the boys is totally confident in his sexual orientation, also it's love at 1st sight for him and he's fully committed to make it a steady relationship. The other boy thought his whole life that he liked girls. So, he needs to process things first, nevertheless it was him who initiated the first sex (though he was drunk) so I believed he just needed some time to realize whether he wants to be just friends, or boyfriends. What was a bit funny was that he suggested some kind of trial period, after which he'll decide if he's really open to dating a guy, if he likes the boy in question enough, and also - kind of surprisingly - if the committed boy would really be able to put up with him. Because he said that he had some traits he doesn't show even to his friends, and no one of his exes were able to put up with it. I found all this pretty far from "standard".
Also, this is Tagged "Airhead Male Lead", which probably refers to the confused boy. Well, his actor is 17. And his character is supposed to be a bit immature. So, I would not see the need to judge him very harshly. I was actually surprised by his reaction after the 1st one night stand. Him asking the committed boy - who is like ready to marry him since the 1st second - to give it a try first, because time will tell, was actually pretty reasonable and exactly the thing the two guys, after a single drunken encounter, needed to do.
Question is whether that offers enough entertaining drama for all the remaining episodes. Mostly it's just an eye candy watch, as viewers would definitely find at least one of the boys more than goodlooking, and/or very cute. Obviously none of the "annoying traits" and "bad habits" were enough to discourage the committed boy. He was totally in love and had all the time in the world (also apparently enough money) to be endlessly patient with the confused boy. After all, he was very young, so what if he was a bit silly. He was THIS good looking at 17 already! The committed boy knew he hit the jackpot. No, he won't let go of him;-)) I could clearly see he wanted to marry him since episode 1.
And it's not just the two main boys. Also all the friends are super cute. They usually make funny faces watching how the older of the boys keeps taking care of the younger one.
I had honestly enough way sooner than 12 episodes. 6 would be more than sufficient. I was mostly bored. But, there's good kissing despite the younger actor's tender age.
This show can be recommended to viewers who like watching attractive people talking about/hooking up. Not recommended to viewers who are not patient to watch fools.
Note: The youtube version has english captions, which offer only rough translation. You'll be alright if you already watch thai shows for a few years. iQIYI version (link offered here on MDL under "Where to Watch Ai Long Nhai") has proper subtitles, but it plays only like 6 minutes of the video, then asks you to pay for a membership if you want to watch it all.

So Much Potential
First let's discuss what was good about this series. 1) Meen. That's it, there is no number two. This series had a lot of potential and teased us with so many things it flat failed to deliver on. Don't go looking for a second couple unless you count Ai's dad's (played by real married couple Porsche and Arm). None of the other matches we were teased with went anywhere at all. The drama with Ai's birth mother also completely fizzled out. Ping, bless his heart, he tried. He's so cute, but where Meen proved he can easily kiss boys with passion in his role in LBC2, poor Ping just isn't there yet. The storyline was flat and moved in and out of relationship angst without ever actually giving a sense of resolve to any of the issues. If you are just looking for a series to throw on while you play games on your phone, I can recommend this one. At least you still get to see all the pretty boys. However, if you are looking for something to really pull you in, don't expect it to be this one.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?

Muito fofa
Após minha terceira maratona de Ai Long Nhai, vamos às considerações.Sobre o roteiro: Uma coisa me interessou nessa série: a ausência de conflitos entre o casal! O único conflito existente foi a falta de comunicação inicial que fez com que cada um pensasse que o outro não estava interessado e tentasse fugir do sentimento, mas isso durou apenas 2 eps. A partir de então, o relacionamento foi única e exclusivamente de flores a amores, tanto entre o casal, as famílias, os amigos, e quem tentou fazer algum mal não chegou nem perto de conseguir. A série tem uma premissa bem soft, mas ao mesmo tempo tem uma pegada intensa entre os protas, isso pra mim foi uma surpresa, já que a sinopse falava apenas de um garoto bobo que perdia seu pato toda hora (e aliás, pq diabos alguém anda carregando um pato?).
Enfim, foi um prazer ver tanto amor, o casal Sib e Jaonan, que são casados na vida real estiveram perfeitos em seus papéis. Achei que faltou mais ênfase na história da mãe e da irmã de Ai, inclusive na primeira vez que a mãe apareceu eu nem percebi que era flash back, e não foi explicado o motivo dela ter voltado, já que deixou claro que não sentia amor por Ai. Também não me senti confortável sobre mentirem a respeito da paternidade de Ai, e até mesmo a irmã ficou num limbo onde não fazia sentido a presença dela. É muito bom quando uma série desenvolve bem o casal principal, mas nesse caso, os casais secundários foram literalmente esquecidos, não desenvolveram em nada. Outra coisa que achei que poderia ser melhor explicada foi a situação com a mãe de Nhai.
Atuação: Não acho que foi nota 10, mas os meninos fizeram um trabalho razoável.
Aspectos técnicos: A filmografia da série é boa, fotografia, continuidade, locações, ost, todos esses detalhes pra mim estão muito bem feitos.
Voltar a ver: Com certeza verei outras vezes, e ainda panfleto muito essa série. Se você quer uma série soft, fofa, sem crises, e com um final feliz, com certeza essa é uma ótima indicação.

No plot. Good kisses
First ep I was a little apprehensive, not sure where this was going. A typical college BL maybe? It's certainly a 'love at first sight' thing, at least for one of the main leads.Ep. 2 Story got a little clearer, I kinda cringed at the oops I had drunk sex with a guy thing, And what the hell was with these stuffed socks?? I felt relieved when Nhai confesses he actually liked it and that he was the one feeling guilty towards Ai. Ai is so in love he likes everything Nhai does but I think Nhai is not as great as he looks and might be chaotic af. Ai better brace himself. Curious to see where this goes.
Ep.3. I´m really not sure about this tbh. Although there are many things I like, there are at least as much things I dislike. Ai puts an unfair amount of pressure on Nhai, and although he has asked for time, Ai is trying to kiss him not 2 seconds later. Nhai is all over the place and says he is confused, but he seems anything but. I am really hoping for the dialogue to be more consistent and the subs being as bad as they are is not helping...
Ep 4-8 I am getting more and more worried about this drama and frustrated that the writing is not what it could be. Scenes and even full episodes seem to be made just for screenfilling and visual. There is no development. In fact, just exactly in the scene where you think something happens.... The episode is over. The next episode starts with that promising scene, but does not fulfill the promise. Characters remain flat, without any depth or real emotion. We see Nhai get jealous but who knows why. No motives, just nothing. All thats left is the fluff and the chemistry. But that falls totally flat when the rest is so severely lacking. This hurts and I do not see it getting better. Rating dropped to 6.
Ep. 9. Every time the end credits start running, I'm like: what? But nothing happened yet!. It is sooo boring! Ai's birth mother is the worst evil mom I've ever seen. She can't even get the expressions right. Also.. Usually with 'bad' bl's we can get at least some solace from the side couple. But there is none here! We are being robbed. The award for saving the ep. goes to Arm for doing the only good acting. Thank you Arm!
Ep. 10. Birth mom got slayed by Nhai. That was the best thing to watch. Rest of the ep was boring
Ep 11 and 12. Meeting the parents, being cute at night, going on a camping trip, bei g cute again, getting sick, getting orange peeling tips, getting better, being cute and promise forever. The end.
There was never any plot. Here and there are sparks of story but all of them bled out and died silently. This was Ai and Nhai being cute for 12 eps straight. Could have been half that. Got really boring in the end despite good kissing. There was no more tension, no real passion, no obstacles to overcome. No ingredients to make a good series.

Watching this was lowkey a waste of time
First of all, why did we get barely anything with the side couples??? After ai and nhai got together I was really only watching it for the side couples.. just to end up with nothing. I was excited to see Nine and FM together but that didn’t happen, the most we got with them was FM telling Nine that he likes him?? Nhai was annoying me the whole time he just seemed so whiny and clueless. Ai and nhai were making me cringe A LOT with the pet names… AND WHY DID THEY GET FREAKY SO MUCH? a lot of the side characters were there for no reason like the girl that had interest in Ai was there for a few episodes then she was gone.. same with AI’s mom and sister. Honestly one of the only things I enjoyed was seeing In cause he’s so fine and funny ??? anyways if you like cringe/freaky shows you should watch this (if you don’t, then don’t watch this) this is not a show to giggle and kick your feet to ?Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
Yes, gay parents can raise a happy gay child
Occasionally charming, frequently irritating, almost always excruciating in its inept performances and writing, “AiLongNhai” is a potentially good idea that needed more care and thought to pull off.Can a pair of gay parents successfully raise a child, and can they model a happy relationship to that child, and especially if the child is gay? The point of “AiLongNhai” is to answer ‘yes’ to both questions. It also introduces us to two very different characters, one raised in comparative wealth and who has an assured manner about him in the world, and the other, a young man reluctant to grow up to adulthood (nicely metaphored as the yellow plastic duck found in bathtubs). There is potential here for something interesting, but it fails to do so and became for me one of the hardest series to finish watching.
Ai, played by Meen Nichakoon Khajornborirak as if trying his hardest to remember his lines, has been raised by his gay father and his partner; he falls for the perpetually childish Nhai, played with appropriate surface shallowness by Ping Krittanum Anunchananum. Run Kantheephop Sirorattanaphanit’s debut outing as a screenwriter shows a newbie’s poor scene structure and preference for episodic incident over character development. Even the more experienced Director, Nob Sathanapong Kim Wongthong, can’t save this series from being a continuing experience of under-delivery.

I would definitely not watch again
Not gonna lie I wasn’t a big fan of this drama. It was a cute and sweet one, but I felt like it was messy instead of clean because each episode would be the same it would be Nhai getting mad at Ai for something and Ai would have to make Nhai like him again or not be mad at him anymore. I also didn’t really like the ending because by the 11th episode the show was basically completed in my opinion and the last episode was just Ai buying Nhai new shoes and them saying why they love each other on top of the roof. The only thing that I actually liked about this show was Tonhon and Chonlatee because at least in this show they weren’t toxic and they didnt do them dirty. Also I really love the guy who plays Chonlatee which is Save because he’s absolutely adorable and I also loved him in Why you Why me. Also can someone tell me when Fluke was in this show because they made it seem like he was in the show the whole time, but I never saw him. Also AI’s parents are so cute that I’m so glad they’re a couple in real life because they compliment each other so much. I didn’t really enjoy it too much, so I wouldn’t really recommend this, but if you want to then you should watch this.Questa recensione ti è stata utile?
This was incredibly bad
The only reason I didn’t drop this after the first episode was cause I just needed something Thai to be playing while I study.This whole series pretty much didn’t have a story. Nothing happened. And the acting was absolutely horrendous for the most part. Really the only positive was Ai‘s actors face (he was also sort of ok acting).
I don’t recommend watching this. Although I don’t think most people would even last through the first few episodes anyways.

Adorable Angst free High School Love Story
- Genre –School/Romance/Students/BL
- Brief Synopsis –
Protagonist A is expelled from his old school and transfers to a new school and becomes B’s schoolmate. From the first episode, he falls for B and is determined to date him even when B says he likes girls. In order to do so, he starts spending more time with B, who doesn’t seem at all repulsed by his flirting. Slowly they grow closer and start dating in secret. The story ends with them admitting to their friends that they are dating and B brings A to meet his parents.
- Plot and Storyline –
Very simple and predictable storyline with no plot twists or especially notable moments. Despite all that, the plot is very sweet and heartwarming as it focuses on the daily life of the main couple and the development of their relationship. Although it is slow paced and lacks angst, it is very enjoyable to watch. The intimate scenes are enjoyable to watch even if they are somewhat tame. I love how A takes care of B and B learns to rely more and more on A.
- Character Development –
N/A
- Acting -
The acting is really nice and the leads do a great job at displaying the love between the main characters. But outside of that, sometimes the acting feels a little awkward but not bad enough to make it unwatchable. The chemistry between the leads makes up for it.
- Production Quality -
Decent production quality with somewhat realistic sets and props.
- Writing and Dialogue -
Writing for the other characters can sometimes be a little cringey.
- Pacing -
Pacing is okay for a lighthearted love story.
- Themes and Message –
Themes for first love, bigotry, jealousy, compassion, friendship are explored.
- Audience Appeal -
Anyone who wants to watch a simple angst-free fluffy BL will like this show.
- Standout Moments -
N/A
- Criticisms -
x Nothing seem to happen in the show as the focus is the couple's everyday life. If the couple hadn't been so cute, this show would be extremely boring.
x The plot is extremely simple and predictable.
- Conclusion -
I might rewatch this series for the fluff if I didn't have other things to watch.

Sweet and fun
I really enjoyed this series. The characters were cute. I especially like Nhai’s character because he seems like a lovable airhead. I did feel it started to lose focus in the later episodes and things are left hanging a little bit. It seemed more like it was intending to have another season. However, I still liked it and have already watched a second time.I am wondering what other series are in this same universe now that I realize Tonhon Chonlatee is about Ton and his neighbor. They seem to indicate Nan and Sib had their own dramatic story and leave the plot with Nine and his interest open, so I am curious what other series have these same characters.
All-in-all, it’s a lighthearted series and I love the casual touching and hugging that the main characters do a great job of showing. One of the things that some BL series lack is the intimacy when NOT in a sexual situation. It kind of kills it if the actors seem standoffish unless in a bed scene and this one is not like that.
