**Better than I thought it would be\~** I was a bit unsure exactly what this series would be like. WeTV is very hit or miss with their series, but I saw a fan edit of it that convinced me to give it a shot and I'm glad I did. This series does a great job balancing humor, drama, romance, and action. Unlike a lot of other Thai BLs out there that really struggle to evenly showcase each genre *Love of Silom* hit every note just right. Nothing felt out of place, the pacing was excellent, the actors did a great job bringing the characters and story to life. There also wasn't a side couple to divert away from the main romance plot instead there are only side characters and they're all phenomenal. Even the characters I didn't like were still fun to watch on screen. I 100% recommend giving this series a shot. The few critiques I have for the show: I wish the brief period that Wayu worked as a police informant had been part of the plot more. He helps out for a couple episodes and then stops and everyone just pretends like it never happened. Admittedly I just really like action series so of course anything that plays more into that genre I'd prefer lol. The second critique is for the dances at the club, honestly they were kinda repetitive. I wish the choreographers had done a bit more and made the dances different from each other. Other than that I really liked this series, I thought it was great. General info for anyone wanting to know: • Is it spicy? Weirdly enough no. Despite being about bar hosts/club dancers the sex scenes were all pretty mild. There are a few scenes that show bondage and sex toys, but it never shows them being used (besides as impromptu weapons lmao). The most spice the series has are the dances at the club which are essentially strip teases. • Is there violence? Yes. There are multiple fight scenes that are actually decently done and sometimes result in bloodshed, a few noncon moments, there are scenes depicting human trafficking, and honestly Krit's dad was a dick the whole series and the main instigator of the emotional damage inflicted on the main characters. • Is there a love triangle? Yes, but also no. Lets just say that the main characters had multiple love interests but they only ever had eyes for each other. They were practically beating the love rivals away with a stick lol. Also, if you like the bar host/club dancer aspect of the series I'd recommend checking out Toy Boy. It's a Spanish drama on Netflix. The main characters are also dancers and the series does a great job depicting the work that goes into being a club dancer ie learning choreography, working with different concepts, and being hired for events. Toy Boy is a lot darker and dramatic as the story centers around an sa and murder mystery plot and the BL plot line is for the side characters not the mc, but it's still a pretty good watch. The BL was super cute, the only reason I wanted to watch the series in the first place lol, so even though it's not the main focus it was still worth sitting through everything else to watch that relationship unfold.
