So Much Potential
First let's discuss what was good about this series. 1) Meen. That's it, there is no number two. This series had a lot of potential and teased us with so many things it flat failed to deliver on. Don't go looking for a second couple unless you count Ai's dad's (played by real married couple Porsche and Arm). None of the other matches we were teased with went anywhere at all. The drama with Ai's birth mother also completely fizzled out. Ping, bless his heart, he tried. He's so cute, but where Meen proved he can easily kiss boys with passion in his role in LBC2, poor Ping just isn't there yet. The storyline was flat and moved in and out of relationship angst without ever actually giving a sense of resolve to any of the issues. If you are just looking for a series to throw on while you play games on your phone, I can recommend this one. At least you still get to see all the pretty boys. However, if you are looking for something to really pull you in, don't expect it to be this one.Cet avis était-il utile?

Muito fofa
Após minha terceira maratona de Ai Long Nhai, vamos às considerações.Sobre o roteiro: Uma coisa me interessou nessa série: a ausência de conflitos entre o casal! O único conflito existente foi a falta de comunicação inicial que fez com que cada um pensasse que o outro não estava interessado e tentasse fugir do sentimento, mas isso durou apenas 2 eps. A partir de então, o relacionamento foi única e exclusivamente de flores a amores, tanto entre o casal, as famílias, os amigos, e quem tentou fazer algum mal não chegou nem perto de conseguir. A série tem uma premissa bem soft, mas ao mesmo tempo tem uma pegada intensa entre os protas, isso pra mim foi uma surpresa, já que a sinopse falava apenas de um garoto bobo que perdia seu pato toda hora (e aliás, pq diabos alguém anda carregando um pato?).
Enfim, foi um prazer ver tanto amor, o casal Sib e Jaonan, que são casados na vida real estiveram perfeitos em seus papéis. Achei que faltou mais ênfase na história da mãe e da irmã de Ai, inclusive na primeira vez que a mãe apareceu eu nem percebi que era flash back, e não foi explicado o motivo dela ter voltado, já que deixou claro que não sentia amor por Ai. Também não me senti confortável sobre mentirem a respeito da paternidade de Ai, e até mesmo a irmã ficou num limbo onde não fazia sentido a presença dela. É muito bom quando uma série desenvolve bem o casal principal, mas nesse caso, os casais secundários foram literalmente esquecidos, não desenvolveram em nada. Outra coisa que achei que poderia ser melhor explicada foi a situação com a mãe de Nhai.
Atuação: Não acho que foi nota 10, mas os meninos fizeram um trabalho razoável.
Aspectos técnicos: A filmografia da série é boa, fotografia, continuidade, locações, ost, todos esses detalhes pra mim estão muito bem feitos.
Voltar a ver: Com certeza verei outras vezes, e ainda panfleto muito essa série. Se você quer uma série soft, fofa, sem crises, e com um final feliz, com certeza essa é uma ótima indicação.

non c’è bisogno di guardare per forza TonhonChonlatee per vederla / carina, nulla di impegnativo
La prima volta che ne ho sentito parlare ho sentito fosse una serie collegata a TonhonChonlatee, serie che ho visto e mi è sembrata decente, però all’inizio non capivo perfettamente la cosa del cambio attori ecc.Adesso direi che la situazione cambio attori è stata una buona scelta, oltre al fatto che se non avessero cambiato attori non avrebbero potuto fare sta serie in quanto Mike e Toptap non lavorano più assieme (cosa che mi rende triste, li ho sempre amati), in ogni caso mi è piaciuto vedere nuovi attori e sopratutto come abbiano cambiato il personaggio di Tonhon, non omofobo e più sopportabile.
In generale posso dire che non c’è bisogno di guardare per forza TonhonChonlatee per vedere questa perché non c’è alcun collegamento particolare oltre ai personaggi Ai, Nhai, Ton e Chon, personaggi che a dire la verità li vedo pure differenti dall’altra serie, quindi andate tranquilli.
Questa serie è veramente carina.
La trama è semplice e carina, peccato che non l’abbiano sviluppata e allargata meglio, mi avrebbe fatto piacere vedere come andava a finire con la madre di Ai e bho anche più azione, è stato tutto molto tranquillo e nullo. Diciamo che è quel tipo di serie che puoi guardare senza farti problemi, infatti non si lasciano neanche.
Loro sono una bella coppia, sono carinissimi.
Il loro inizio per me è stato altamente incasinato e non capisco neanche come siano finiti insieme ma vabbè l’importante è che si amino.
È veramente incapibile come Ai faccia a sopportare Nhai nonostante sia così lamentoso ma allo stesso tempo è carino, capisco Ai ahahah
La cosa che mi ha fatto morire di più di Nhai è quando la madre di Ai gli ha detto che si sarebbe dovuto lasciare con lui ma Nhai ha rifiutato, lì ero preoccupata facesse come gli era stato detto dato che succede sempre nelle serie, invece mi ha colpito come fosse così sicuro, ho amato questa cosa.
Poi sinceramente una cosa che mi ha infastidito è l’ossessione di Ai per il sesso, ogni tre quarti voleva farlo, mi scassava sta cosa, mi pareva un pò maniaco aiuto.
Parlando di altro, mi dispiace come abbiano fatto finire la storia di quei due, quello che mandava continuamente regali segreti all’altro, poi si sono incontrati ma doveva partire per l’estero e quindi è finita lì; è stato triste, mi è dispiaciuto un botto perchè erano bellini.
In generale posso dire che veramente questa serie non è nulla di impegnativo ed è carina.

Yes, gay parents can raise a happy gay child
Occasionally charming, frequently irritating, almost always excruciating in its inept performances and writing, “AiLongNhai” is a potentially good idea that needed more care and thought to pull off.Can a pair of gay parents successfully raise a child, and can they model a happy relationship to that child, and especially if the child is gay? The point of “AiLongNhai” is to answer ‘yes’ to both questions. It also introduces us to two very different characters, one raised in comparative wealth and who has an assured manner about him in the world, and the other, a young man reluctant to grow up to adulthood (nicely metaphored as the yellow plastic duck found in bathtubs). There is potential here for something interesting, but it fails to do so and became for me one of the hardest series to finish watching.
Ai, played by Meen Nichakoon Khajornborirak as if trying his hardest to remember his lines, has been raised by his gay father and his partner; he falls for the perpetually childish Nhai, played with appropriate surface shallowness by Ping Krittanum Anunchananum. Run Kantheephop Sirorattanaphanit’s debut outing as a screenwriter shows a newbie’s poor scene structure and preference for episodic incident over character development. Even the more experienced Director, Nob Sathanapong Kim Wongthong, can’t save this series from being a continuing experience of under-delivery.

Adorable Angst free High School Love Story
- Genre –School/Romance/Students/BL
- Brief Synopsis –
Protagonist A is expelled from his old school and transfers to a new school and becomes B’s schoolmate. From the first episode, he falls for B and is determined to date him even when B says he likes girls. In order to do so, he starts spending more time with B, who doesn’t seem at all repulsed by his flirting. Slowly they grow closer and start dating in secret. The story ends with them admitting to their friends that they are dating and B brings A to meet his parents.
- Plot and Storyline –
Very simple and predictable storyline with no plot twists or especially notable moments. Despite all that, the plot is very sweet and heartwarming as it focuses on the daily life of the main couple and the development of their relationship. Although it is slow paced and lacks angst, it is very enjoyable to watch. The intimate scenes are enjoyable to watch even if they are somewhat tame. I love how A takes care of B and B learns to rely more and more on A.
- Character Development –
N/A
- Acting -
The acting is really nice and the leads do a great job at displaying the love between the main characters. But outside of that, sometimes the acting feels a little awkward but not bad enough to make it unwatchable. The chemistry between the leads makes up for it.
- Production Quality -
Decent production quality with somewhat realistic sets and props.
- Writing and Dialogue -
Writing for the other characters can sometimes be a little cringey.
- Pacing -
Pacing is okay for a lighthearted love story.
- Themes and Message –
Themes for first love, bigotry, jealousy, compassion, friendship are explored.
- Audience Appeal -
Anyone who wants to watch a simple angst-free fluffy BL will like this show.
- Standout Moments -
N/A
- Criticisms -
x Nothing seem to happen in the show as the focus is the couple's everyday life. If the couple hadn't been so cute, this show would be extremely boring.
x The plot is extremely simple and predictable.
- Conclusion -
I might rewatch this series for the fluff if I didn't have other things to watch.

Sweet and fun
I really enjoyed this series. The characters were cute. I especially like Nhai’s character because he seems like a lovable airhead. I did feel it started to lose focus in the later episodes and things are left hanging a little bit. It seemed more like it was intending to have another season. However, I still liked it and have already watched a second time.I am wondering what other series are in this same universe now that I realize Tonhon Chonlatee is about Ton and his neighbor. They seem to indicate Nan and Sib had their own dramatic story and leave the plot with Nine and his interest open, so I am curious what other series have these same characters.
All-in-all, it’s a lighthearted series and I love the casual touching and hugging that the main characters do a great job of showing. One of the things that some BL series lack is the intimacy when NOT in a sexual situation. It kind of kills it if the actors seem standoffish unless in a bed scene and this one is not like that.

Can't complain!
This show was simple. It was cute, fun, and lighthearted. No conflict lasted long and the relationship was a fairly happy one.I can't complain much about this show. Nhai didn't think he liked men, but when Ai and him become close, he starts to question himself. To see if it's true, he decides to move in with Ai as a trial run.
Nothing too special happened in this one. Gay people got to be happy and that makes me happy. There's no question of whether or not you'll be accepted for being gay when you've got two dads, so homophobia was never really an issue. The plotline between Ai and his mom was a little bit odd, but it didn't make a huge dent in the show anyways. Overall an enjoyable and easy watch.

Don't waste your time
I have a simple request from the screenwriter, Run... Could you please stop experiencing secreenwriting? I'm terribly sorry, but this is not what we expect from a BL drama. Seriously, I feel like I wasted my time. I've been watching BL dramas for more than two years, but I never felt I wasted my time. I like you as an actor, please get back to acting and making us smile. I don't want to be mean for anyone, and I do excuse if my comment would hurt anyone. However, there is no point in watching a wifey who has no idea what falling in love is. The wifey is so selfish that our poor hubby tries his best to please him. I won't even mention his dowdiness besides his uncleanliness. He never manages to love sincerely although his hubby is crazy about him. I am absolutely sure hubby would be happier if he met someone else. Last but not least, what we want to see in the dramas is the real love with all sorts of sacrificies available. Please do not waste all these handsome boys with amazing acting abilities with simple or absurd drama stories.Cet avis était-il utile?

QUE HISTÓRIA GOSTOSA
Ai Long Nhai se tornou uma das minhas série de conforto favoritas de tão gostosinha que é.Eu amo a leveza dela, não existem muitos conflitos e a gente acompanha majoritariamente a relação deles.
Os atores tem muita química e apesar do Nhai ser um pouquinho infantil não é nada que irrite, parece um traço de personalidade e o Ai faz o contraste perfeito com seu jeito mais protetor.
O grupo de amigos deles é divertido e eu adoro os pais do Ai, queria que eles tivessem mais tempo de tela.
Essa é uma ótima série pra você que quer assistir algo para relaxar e se divertir.

Really.......What was the point?
I've watched many BL series and up to now, sadly, this is the worst.....so disappointed as I was really looking forward to this but it was all just hype!Such a shame as I loved the characters as in Ai, Nhai, and their friends and family but the story or lack thereof was a serious issue.
Boy meets boy, fall in love, end of!
Nhai was too childish and spoiled by everyone so I could not take him seriously....Side love interests were far too short, virtually nonexistent and in fact, should not really have been included....
The bad guys needn't have been in it all for the impact they had, a couple of sentences, and they are gone.....
The NC scenes were laughable hardly a proper kiss among the many scenes.....
I can't believe I sat through 8 hours of this drivel that imo, could have been 1 x 2hr episode....
I could carry on venting but again "Really .....what's the point? "
