Love of Secret (2022)

All I've ever wanted is for a mainstream Thai channel to give us a cute and wholesome GL main couple, and it's finally happened. *throw confetti* Thank you, Ch3. They may have possibly just begun a golden era of Thai GLs.

Story centers around Punpun. She wants to be an idol, but her dad wants her to be a doctor. Her family is super sweet and supportive. They try to hide her competing to be an idol from her dad. And so she's struggling to balance her time between studying for exams to enter med school, competing and having a girlfriend. It's not easy at all.

Punpun and Itim are the cutest ever. Their relationship feels so sweet and natural. I like how they both had their own lives and dreams that they were pursuing while balancing being in each other's life. I feel like what happens with them is very realistic, and the way they handled things was quite healthy and mature given their circumstances.

Itim means "ice cream". So that's why you see that ice cream icon next to her name.

The story itself is about 80 minutes long, so the length of a movie split into two episodes. Tbh I like the split in that it gave me enough time to digest the set up in the first episode in order to fully appreciate what happens in the second. There is enough story in this to have been a series, but we take what we can get. 80 minutes is pretty great, too. I was totally immersed with Punpun's struggles, her cute family and GIRLFRIEND.

The OST totally has me hugging my pillow from the cuteness. It fits the story so well.

"Just the way you are.
Just that.
Just follow your heart.
You'll always have me.
Ready to be by your side."

I'm DYINGGGGGGG.

ENDING

If anyone is confused about the ending, don't be. What Gramma says about her relationship with Gramps is meant to foreshadow Punpun and Itim's relationship.

Minus it not being longer which is something not in anyone's control, this was definitely just so cute to me so I give it a 10. I love mainstream media representation for WLW relationships and I will stand by them for the rest of my life and moving forward.

I absolutely adored Panpan and Tim and I am a forever fan officially but truly, I loved everything about the families, the story, how goofy and playful everything was and it was just a sweet and easy watch.

Acting was adorable, new and old veterans.

Music was adorable.

I've rewatched it twice now, with and without subs.

Go watch it.
