One of the worst bl i have watched
Both the main leads and the second leads are the blandest characters in the series. Sure, they are "attractive" but they're not a bit charismatic, they don't have a personality outside the cliché. Kuea is supposed to be a "bad boy" that likes bikes and music, his worst fear is that Lian won't love him because he is "different", excuse me different how? literally, his personality doesn't change, he only has a few hobbies that are "not the norm".If he was similar to Payu from Love in the air I would have understood the point but he's like every other bottom out there except he likes bikes.The plot is what I dislike most about this series. In the first episode, Lian rejects Kuea saying he doesn't love him and doesn't want to marry him. First, when I watched this i was like, okay, he does love him but he has a secret, that will be revealed in the last episode, that is the reason he has to say that. But he doesn't really have a reason for rejecting him, Lian expends the rest of the series trying to get back together with Kuea, so what was the point in rejecting him?
He explains that he doesn't like him acting like a doll (which he does because Lian doesn't pay any attention to him), but you could just expend more time getting to know him. Not saying you don't want to marry him just to be chasing him, begging him to marry you just a couple of days later?
It was exasperating, like the whole point of the series is the PDA.
The second leads more or less have the same plot, like nothing really different here.
The only charismatic characters are the thirds leads, Syn and Nuer, but they have five minutes of screen time in the whole series.

Most dissapointing bl
This series only has commercial value, it was created due to fan's responses, but really, it doesn't have that much deep value.I loved Until We Meet Again, the story was interesting, and the music was top tier(which Between us completely ruined for me, the music effect are the most annoying thing in Between us, I really don't understand how their music got that much worse).
In UWMA the main leads were a bit too cheesy for me and without the second leads it would have been overall an ok series. Because of Team and Win it became a great one.
Team and Win really shined in UWMA, they brought to the table what Dean and Pram didn't and they really balanced the whole series. If they gave them a bit more screen time in UWMA they wouldn't have needed this series and it wouldn't have ruined them.
The plot in Between us is excruciatingly slow.
From the eight episodes I have watched, this is what has happened:
-Team and Win had a one-night-stand on their first meeting
-Team goes to sleep to Win's room basically every night
-Team is traumatized because he accidentally drowned someone when he was young.
-Win has lot of family problems
The same thing happens every episode: Team "rejects" Win, neither of them can figure out their feelings for each other, Team has a bad dream- with a flashback- and Team goes to sleep to Win's room. And most of this information we already knew from the prequel.
Honestly, the whole eight episodes could have been only two, which makes me feel like if they gave them enough attention in UWMA this series wouldn't be necessary.
It's like they are exploiting this relationship to the maximum for profit but there's not that much to give.
Also why so many second-lead couples? I don't care about them and they take a lot of screen time

Toxic bottoms
The story and the acting were mostly ok.The tops, Payu and Prapai were mostly perfect.
But overall very cringy. The bottoms, Rain and Sky (who were supposed to be best friends but don't interact which each other except to talk about their boyfriends) are whiny at best and exasperating at worst. I could excuse Sky because of his trauma but Rain doesn't get any excuse: he's so annoying, and there's not one moment in the series where I liked him.
After watching BLs like Bad Buddy, I expected romance that was, well, not toxic and somewhat realistic, but Love in the air has romance straight out of a fairytale, written by a 13-year-old girl. (Not hating this genre because I do enjoy it every once in a while but I was expecting more out of this series)

Bad script
Honestly, I started this drama because of Lusi and Hong Li but the script is a mess. The story showed promised but otherwise a flop. Like,1. You fall down a clift, you end up in a magical place, kidnapp by a giant bird and accidently eat a magical fruit and you dont have any question about where you are? She isn't even confused
2. You find out that people want you dead because you ate the magical fruit, and you just ignore everything?
3. You are overly friendly with a stranger that saved your life (ok this is relatively normal) and you accept to teach him about the modern world but you try to get rid of him as soon as possible.
I mean, this girl doesn't care at all about anything around her, isn't she curious about the magical world she just discover, the powers she just obtained?
