I Feel You Linger in the Air: Uncut Version (2023)

Not the best BL series 2023 by far...

What I like:
production quality
costumes
music
most acting

What I dislike:
The ending; yes it's fantasy and so on, but it's not believable.
Jom - he is sometimes docile, sometimes mature. Only in the finale after "returning" he is much more believable.
Stereotype evil Robert, he is too plain, just a 08/15 bad character from one of the cheap novels published every week, no depth, no other side of him, just 10 pages worth of the 60 pages.
Story-Plotholes: While Yai falling in love was shown for a long time, Jom just did it out of the blue, overcoming his trauma from ep 1 in a blink of an eye. To be gay in early 20th century was by far not as easy as it's depicted in this story. Yai confesses he loves Jom and the father was relativly mild., compared to other series where the family explodes even today. There were always exceptions to the rule but it makes this point of the story not believable.
Pacing: After Robert is removed from the series everything is dragged on an on which made me skip some scenes.
Yai with silly Mustache

Summary:
While the production quality was top notch, music was very fitting, the acting overall very good, the setting something unique, the ending unbelievable and the preview of a second season unnecessary, this show is a mixed bag. Jom should have been more struggeling and maybe slowly falling in love in episode 7 with the first spicy scene in episode 8. But of course they could have paced the show faster with some serene scenes inbetween. If there is a second season I hope they will not repeat the same mistakes they did this time where script and direction was sometimes weak.

A gorgeous and heart breaking masterpiece

I haven’t been as moved by any other BL like I was with IFYLITA, the passion it was made with truly shows, It’s beautiful in every way, the way it was shot so elegantly makes you truly feel there in 1928 . Bright and Nonkul did a splendid job with the acting, tension and chemistry; the love scenes are the best I’ve ever seen, they are sensual and relevant to the story, not just for gratuity.
YaiJom love was so lovely and sweet their character are so well developed I felt immersed in the story even repeating it many times.
Even though I know not everyone is going to feel the same way I do, I want to at least spread the word of the drama that changed me in hopes someone else will find it as endearing as I did, so if you can do give it a try.

A new take on BL

The series is a beautiful new take on a BL story. I did really enjoy this series a lot as it takes on you a rollercoaster of emotions. The actors, location, and costumes are amazing. There are a few down parts to this series, as there are a lot of castes to remember who is who. Some of the storylines were annoying and not needed at all. The whole ex situation was very annoying and I hated that he forgave his loser ex and his girlfriend because of their past lives. No matter what he was not worth coming back in the end and there was no point in forgiving him, karam did its job. I did not like the father and brother-in-law and to be honest that time period was a very sad time to live. There were a few over-dramatic moments that looked and felt unrealistic. I wish James and Ming got to shine a bit more. The biggest issue was the end, which was horrible with lots of unanswered questions and I hate when a movie leaves you with more questions than answers. I get that the company is leading the way to a season two maybe but I hate the open ending, there was a better way to introduce a second season. The series has beautiful storytelling with the main couple I do wish they grow the relationship more than focus on the side characters. Sadly I did find myself fast-forwarding a bit to get to parts I really wanted to see as there are a few times it is boring and dragging on. I love the main couple's chemistry and wish they developed it more. This series was a nice start to a fresh look to the BL series. I wish it showed more growth and better flow, as felt slow at some point and fast at others. I do hope to see the main couple again.

Heartfelt Series & Amazing acting

I was in complete dilemma on why Jom looks so familiar and when I stalk him, now I know why? HOW DID THEY MANAGE TO CAST HIM LIKE ????? I mean this in a good way ahha. I mean Nonkul is so adorable in the series but not in a cringe way. His acting is so damn perfect that I actually having a hard time in holding back my tears especially the last 2 episodes of this series. The way he is portraying Jom is beautiful and makes us the watchers totally understand from his point of view. His tears are valid and I have no complain about his characters. I think he is playing Jom with his own way and perfectly. ANYWAY, BRIGHT THO- UGHHH So handsome. LOL IM SORRY But we can't just forget about Bright. Though, one complain about Khun Yai is that he is a coward. He should have tried to reconnecting with his dad, have a heart to heart talk instead of letting Jom did all the work. But still, i think its because Khun Yai is a soft spoken person and very gentle, so he tend to feel like "its okay. Time will heal everything'.

I am a bit confused at the end of the series though but when I read the explanation from this page then I finally understand. It turns out that the Khun Yai that in the present is related to Khun Yai's younger brother? But anyhow, he is reincarnated to be with Jom. I am happy with the ending BUT WHEN THERE IS POST CREDIT- I AM ALL... UGHH!!!! STAPH ITT ALREADYYYY!!! I cannot deal with any of these ANGST SHIT ANYMORE...!! Please give them more series tho. Their chemistry is something else. Can I just say that I have nothing against the plot except for the relationship between Khun Yai and his father? It seems like they are lacking in closure.

Anyway, if you want a break from the mainstream plot of romance, please do watch this series! <3

Give me the season 2 and watch it to experience the art of classic

Where to begin the series was perfect only problem it had was confusing ending and not confirming the season 2 even though it's been months after it aired.
Acting was good the character development was given to almost all characters introduced but it had ending moved towards to feel more of a sad but they had a twist to the end which is like what the dash is happening in the screen.
It had wibe of kdrama like mr.queen or the scarlet love so if like those wonder what will happen if it's bl here the show. Also the ending is a open door so don't watch if have anxiety problem.

Lost in the 'Linger': One Episode's Emotional Whirlwind

Although I'm not exactly president of the Nonkul fan club, his cinematic magic once had me shuffle my schedule to attend his press tour as he dazzled cities across Asia. Let's be clear: any shade I might throw at this BL drama isn't personal vendetta; it's just my quirky taste rearing its head.

Having sat through just one episode - a marathon hour-plus debut - I wasn't exactly spellbound. Solid acting? Check. Scenic design that outshines typical Thai BLs? Double check. This feels like a drama that had some coins to toss around. It’s free of cringe-worthy dubbing, glaring product placements, over-the-top fairness filters, and those melodramatic guitar interludes. But time travel and parallel universes? They're not my cup of Thai tea. With a slew of similar-themed dramas across Asia, "I Feel You Linger in the Air" didn’t quite stand out to me.

Now, my most 'facepalm' moment? When Jom learns of Ohm's desire to break up. Jom’s desperate pleas and his operatic tumble to the ground after being pushed by Ohm made me squirm more than swoon.

The motivation to click on episode two is currently MIA. Facing the latest from an actor I've admired yet feeling this meh? That's got to be a 'me problem' right there!
