Love in the Air: Special Episode (2022)

Fanservice, ma non solo

Prendendo le mosse da malintesi e malumori, Rain e Sky "scappano" in gita al mare, nascondendosi alle loro controparti.
Ci vorrà poco perché ne sentano l'acuta mancanza e perché i due compagni arrivino di corsa a riprendersi i due fuggiaschi, con conseguenti bollenti scene di riappacificazione.
Sarebbe tutto dolcissimo, semplice e lineare, se non ci fosse una scena in cui si rimarca che, in Thailandia, non è ammesso il matrimonio fra persone dello stesso sesso, auspicando che la situazione possa cambiare.
E questo fa pensare, perché per tutto il drama principale, salvo un'unica frase subito corretta, le relazioni omosessuali non vengono mai osteggiate o sminuite. Ma il mondo, anche là, è evidentemente ancora un luogo imperfetto, dove una persona deve ancora lottare per reclamare il suo diritto ad occuparsi legalmente di chi gli è caro. Sì, fa pensare.

The perfect special for Love in the Air

This is a 70 minute special which looks at both Love Sky and Love Storm stories and brings them together. I was skeptical after the previous Don't Say No and Tharntype specials but this one was well done. It was the right balance of sexy, funny, a commentary on LGBTQ+ laws etc. I would boldly say it was a perfect special. And we didn't have any of the sometimes problematic MAME tropes so, winning!

Rain and Sky, classmates compare notes on their relationships and find themselves questioning certain things. They decide to go away to the beach (which Thai BL would be complete without a beach trip? Come On!) and not think or talk about their significant others. It doesn't go quite as they planned however...

This was a decent episode as we had new NC scenes and the usual misunderstandings that happen with new relationships from jealousy and friends / exes stirring trouble. It also opened the door for new stories such as Payu's boss and Pai's brother Plerng so there is more from this universe still to come.

Definitely worth a watch as it gives us the perfect closure on this story. Some may find Rain and Sky a little immature at times but I gave them the benefit of the doubt as they're still students. Lovely to see Payu and Pai giving stellar performances here.

And there will be scenes you revisit. Trust me.

Enjoy!
