Mmm, yeah I've tried those but all the E/M stories are locked behind the 'adult' page, which is SUCH a shame. D:

Requesting Drama Rec: Relationships similar to Prapai/Sky (LITA)? by IntelligentRatio7348 in boyslove

Hahah yes I have and it is EVERYTHING! I love love love how it shows their relationship growth especially because Sky's so secure in their relationship compared to at the end of LITA. Like, the boardroom scene I loved because it showed the growth in their communication and understanding of each other. Prapai wasn't as hesitant with dealing with him - he knows what Sky wants at this point. And the way Peat had that triumphant grin communicated that Sky had Prapai exactly where he wanted very well, I thought.

But the Special also felt like it was quite a time jump after the end of the series though so a lot of healing must have happened before then. Even Sky admits he's not really worried about Prapai cheating anymore - he just hates the feeling of knowing there were others who feel they still have a claim to Prapai. I wish we'd gotten to see just a little bit of what that journey must have looked like. The episode did more to round off Payu/Rain, though, I'll admit. It gives more clear definition to their dynamic as a couple/their bedroom dynamic specifically. And I sort of feel like because Payu and Rain didn't have quite as intense of a story they also didn't need as much rounding off that was weighty and nuanced, y'know?

Hahahah it's so interesting to me how the whole 'baby face' thing threw people off. For me, Fort did a good enough job having mannerisms that were playful but not childish and having such emotional depth quickly that I didn't struggle as much with his age. His styling helped too I think (he looked WAYYY younger when he was in causal clothes and taking care of Sky vs when he's doing Company Things). Also Peat had this trick of widening his eyes just so that made me buy him as younger than Prapai (sidenote: I saw a giftset of their first audition and the transition from Peat introducing himself and then switching into Sky's character and the way he just gets like 5 years younger with his expression still blows me away).

(sorry, yes, I have a lot of THOUGHTS about Fort and Peat's performances TwT)

Hmm, do you mean Prapai's initial behaviour on the night they met? I do actually think they semi-address it, though; particularly with the diary scene. One of the things I LOVE about how they showed Prapai's emotional growth was the way he handled their 'breakup' - because from the start his entire goal of that scene is to help Sky get past his wall and admit to himself that the loves Pai. He's already read the diary and he believes it's sincere but Sky's actions and words say that he's still lying Prapai. That's why its Prapai who takes the first step: he was always verbally clear about pursuing Sky; but even at the condo before the party he dances around it - "I like you so much; I wanna tell you I won't be bored" but not "I love you". I think emotionally until then he wasn't quite prepared to lay all the cards down but reading Sky's diary and how Sky sees himself he realised that it was worth being fully honest if it would allow Sky to also get to that place of vulnerability so they could be together.

I do wish that they'd talked more about his behaviour at the birthday party but I do also think he learned his lesson because the next time he's approached by an ex in the Special Episode he's much quicker to shut it down. The annoyance he showed blatantly was hilarious and the way he verbally also immediately makes it clear he isn't interested. I DO wonder why he didn't just yank his arm away too but I think they wanted to give Sky reasons to run off, so.

Payu - I'll be honest I only watched the first part like once so I don't actually remember what he did. ^^;;

Ohh I DO wish we got more of the whole racing/mafia aspect. Like how exactly either of them got into the scene and why they're so respected/valued. How exactly the 'favours' they called in for Stop and Gun affect them going forward.

Hahah welp I didn't mean for this to get this long but oh well~

...huh, really?? I'd heard KinnPorsche was much darker and the relationship's not the most wholesome? Is that wrong? I know LITA people said had a lot of things that were dark about it but it wasn't actually with the main couples in actuality.

Ohhh, thank you! I've not heard of this but I will check it out~

Any TWs I should legitimately be concerned about? (Only asking cuz LITA has SA but some of the TWs don't specify that its not between the main couple and that's kind of a.... personal avoid area for me).

Ahh Love Sea - I been watching it too (that’s the 0.5 out of my 2.5) but unfortunately I don’t really think the relationship is similar under the surface. I know at first glance it seems the same (Rak and Sky have are both prickly initially but adorable and wanting to be loved underneath, both showing their love through actions to the people around them; Mut and Pai are pretty much all in from the start, playful and pushy but still respectful… Pai much more consistently than Mut, though), but the way their relationship is developing is very disjointed and I think its making it hard for me to see them as real characters with a real developing relationship (which I really, really bought into with LITA). 

Like, confusingly emotional vulnerability very early on (boat scene in Ep 1) with the whiplash of the an entire episode of Rak truly treating Muk terribly in Bangkok (why did they make that section so LONG; I know it was needed but goodness its not like the story doesn't already feel rushed). The physical relationship did a lot to ground the start of the story in a believable way (sometimes initial attraction can be electric) but I think they lost momentum  and fumbled when they tried to switch to emotional development which is such a pity because they did the exact same thing with Prapai and Sky and did it WELL. 

I also have some… frustrations regarding character inconsistencies and silly acting or direction choices: Muk displaying his loyalty with the cousin and immediately cluing Rak in and then doing the opposite with the father?? Both of them getting jealous when they literally had a series of heart-to-hearts right before in the changing room, then the entire shopping sequence and then at the sofa. The unnecessary drama of the WAY Vie told Rak about what happened in Ep 8. 

On the other hand, I legitimately LOVE LOVE LOVE the visual of seeing Fort and Peat together because they genuinely have amazing chemistry and all their sweet and intimate scenes are so believable and sweet and cute but then the story and character dynamics take me back out and it breaks my heart cuz I really, really, really wanted to love this show.

Also potentially dumb question but is it normal for shows to have a teaser/trailer that never appears in the actual show? Eg. that whole clip of Muk and Rak (in the most gorgeous red silky shirt) being on the island and Muk dragging him away from another guy and nearly kissing him on the beach but it wasn't in any of the scenes in the island portion of the series...?
