愛の香り

Like ”Laws of Attraction”, which aired about at the same time, this series has many elements of a lakorn and lacks some typical BL tropes. First of all, a word about time travel - I am always skeptical when it comes to series based on time travel. I don't mind that they are illogical, because time travel isn't something that can be explained logically. But most time travel stories aren't even consistent within their storytelling, but "I Feel you Linger in the Air" fortunately doesn't make this mistake. When Jom (Nonkul Chanon) is working on the restoration of an old mansion, he suddenly finds himself in the same house in 1927. He meets Yai (Bright Raphephong), the gay son of the influential Plathip family. They fall in love, but of course in a rich 1927 setting, two gay men being together is even more of a problem than it is in today's Thailand. There are malicious relatives, there is corruption, domestic violence, arson, and murder, but Jom and Khun Yai's love conquers everything. There are extremely sad moments when Jom starts to fade, but there is some hope that the lovers may be reunited in another time and space. The cinematography of this series is brilliant, the settings are beautiful, the editing is great, and Nonkul's acting is out of this world. Two of the support actors also deserve to be mentioned - Guide Kantapon as lovely Ming and Mr. International 2023, Kim Goodburn as James. I need to mention Tee Bundit's wonderful directing. He is one of the most experienced BL directors, and a true household name since "TharnType". "Linger" is still another big step forward, though, as his directing had made it a masterpiece. I was very surprised that there are NC scenes in this series which are among the most erotic ones I've ever seen in a BL series, and I'm sure that everyone who has watched this series will have a different view of olive oil.
