Jai Son Rak (2024)

Weak finale.

I think when i first started watching it that it's the best GL i've watched. Everything seems to be on point, tho i think i have issues with some parts of the story like believing someone instead of communicating with the one you love. Like if you love someone you should trust them 100% and you should be open with them about what's bothering you. I know it's part of the story but i just hate how everything can be solved if they just talk to each other. The last episode seems rushed and has been done before, like a disapproving family member fainting. HAHAHAHA i don;'t like that the mother let her daughter suffer in the 1st episode and suddenly in the finale she suddenly changed.

Heartwrenching yet a beautiful story

Honestly, the story is quite simple and even has a dejavu vibes but still, it got my attention and it made me want to follow what's going to happen till the end. For me, it's even a lakorn (soap thai opera) with women love women storyline for me so for sure there's going to have some conflict and heartwrenching moments.

Since I didn't read the novel, I can't compare to it but I have to admit, some subplots / some parts could be more developped and should even be added to make the general storyline a bit better and to feel more complete than this.

I didn't know the actresses but they are so good at portraying their characters and they also have good chemistry, they are so pretty and cute together!!
For their characters, I might sometimes not be agree with their choices or behaviors but I don't know, I can't help but at the end, I still like them (or maybe I looked at the situation differently and I was trying to understand them).

The OST are nice to listen but I don't know if I gave a higher rating because of it or it's because of the quality of the production and also with the acting of the main leads..lol

Anyway, it's one of my favorite GL series despite some flaws.

My fab series

This is the best gl I mean this is the best series I've ever watched. I really really appreciate the writer. Since the first ep I'm in love with this series . Doc.Falada is the romantic man who really takes a good care of her naughty girl.
It was funny when Lada was trying to knock out Earn from her life. Whatever Lada does only her love meets Earn. But I'm a little sad for Engfa she really did a lot for Earn. But It's good that she understood that Earn only belongs to Lada.
Their love, the chemistry, the care was very adorable. There was butterfly on my stomach whenever i saw those two loving each other.
I really love the story. Their acting deserve Oscar 😅 cuz they made the Series very much realistic. I really love the OST the background music. Tbh now I'm literally crying for the end. Hope we'll get more series of my fab couple,
LingOrm.❤️❤️

i thought this would be my favorite gl but no

loved the trope and overall the story but they didn’t had the change to make justice to the whole story with 8 episodes and the last 2 episodes was so annoying like I could barely watch because of that adding some annoying stuff to the story ruined the whole plot atp. like what was the point to make lada break up with earn since she fight a lot for their love?? or why would make her mother agree about their relationship after she wake up from coma?? like this is gap trope and im so tired of it

This is a woman’s GL through and through

I’ve been watching GL’s since forever and from almost every country that’s ever made them and I can honestly say that-The Secret Of Us, is the finest quality GL that I have ever seen and that has ever been produced thus far. Everything about it screams top tier with this series from the cast whose talent and beauty are visually unmatched to the director and etc. everything is on point.

Facts- TSOU and Blank is the best GL’s I’ve seen to date with harder more adult plots and situations to deal with and to execute properly. But TSOU differs from a lot of GL’s and specifically fully grown adult -Thai GL’s. It was the Thai traditional take on romance and it was designed and fashioned specifically for its core audience standards first while showcasing to the west, what Thai romance is really like, only this time, they did it with a GL.

It didn’t go in heavy or above and beyond with the love scenes because it didn’t need it, to keep the audience invested as the talent and the beauty as well, was more than enough to keep the viewers watching. Certain people are concentrating on the lack of love scenes and nagging on the plot and hey it’s their issue and I get it because I know that they either couldn’t feel it, or they just couldn’t get it. But what they are failing to realize is that this show did something for Thai GL that had yet to be done. It brought softness, gentleness and tenderness into the realm of Thai GL which was sorely needed after all the previous stories just jammed with lots of strife and hit and run toxicity first before we got to the romance. And No one, could really push or guilt trip either of the MC’s around in this story either as once they knew who and what it is they wanted, they always chose each other first or to put the other’s needs first.

And this could only be done for this story, because unlike the previous Thai GL’s we’ve all seen, this story was actually written by a woman and not a man. Which is why it was directed by a woman, script adapted to screen by women, produced by a woman, as its story was about women and so it’s main characters were all going to be played by women. It is a true woman’s take on WLW love and I respected it and appreciated that more than anything else. LingOrm served in this show and took us through the stages of love found, love lost, separation and grief, anger and angst, lost love found again and now kept for a lifetime. All while it managed to make GL’s soft, feminine, sweet, tender and beautiful again. This is a woman’s GL through and through and it’s really a full and complete GL and I LOVE IT!

want them in a new series with a better script (also BL side couple timings)

Overall: I thought the actresses did a good job but the cliched script dragged things down. The BL side couple was cute however 10 minutes of screentime was not enough. Aired on YouTube worldwide and Netflix in SE Asia.

Content Warnings: non con kissing turned consensual, slap, manipulation, homophobia

BL Side Couple
This is all of the BL scenes thru episode 7 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TKDiAXnZ200 ; then in episode 8 watch 37:57-38:40 and 41-41:20

What I Liked
- visuals
- sweet moments
- supportive friends
- BL side couple was cute

Room For Improvement
- really terrible communication, took until episode 7 of 8 for a character to learn something
- "plans"
- the dad knew and never told his daughter
- the managers fighting
- the BL side couple had about 10 minutes of screen time and way too much of their relationship development happened off screen
