#Something in the air cast series#
Singto and Ohm and Jimmy and Jae-hyun managed to kiss in their series but when Singto and Ohm tried to take a picture, Singto never appeared in any picture. We are all aware that ghosts can’t touch, kiss or have sex with living humans. And before I dive deeper into the show, I’m acknowledging that the plot is an issue. However, while not perfect, “Something in My Room” became an interesting choice because of how the director managed to adapt the work of Raflael into this drama and because the acting was better than I expected. And, the plot of ghost and boy meet and fall in love was already explored in “He’s Coming To Me” with Singto and Ohm, in the two episodes of “Y-Destiny” that had Pee and Au and in the Thai-Korea co-production “Peach of Time” with Jimmy and Choi Jae-hyun. Plus, Nut wasn’t exactly my first choice for lead actor as his work in “Oxygen” was quite underwhelming. Not your usual ghost story When I started watching “Something in My Room” I had virtually zero expectations in a show that was airing on Channel 3 in Thailand, that wasn’t known for investing a lot of time and resources in creating a pure BL drama.
I really loved this, and for me it's the best BL of this year so far, and this is turning out to be a fairly strong year. The music is great, from the theme to the use of classical music to the instrumental score, which which does a great job of supporting the story. There are a few plot lines that probably seem pointless in the cut version, like a lot of Dream and Luck, but their story reinforces the importance of respecting each other's beliefs. None of them are filler, none contain manufactured drama in Ep 9. There was not a single episode that I walked away from disappointed. This is not just a cute ghost meets boy story - it really explores how things don't always work out like we hoped, and the need to both seize happiness wherever you can find it, and let go of things you can't change, like the tragedies we all have to face - and even how sometimes you can't completely move on. Plan Thanawat as Phat is so cute I can't stand it, and on top of that he can really act - his character can be childish and self-absorbed in a realistic way, balanced by all his good qualities. Green has a 2-ep role and he's truly spectacular, putting in a powerful performance (and he's clearly a trained dancer), again contrasting with The Tuxedo where he's distinctly underwhelming. I thought Nut was terrible in Oxygen, but that must have been bad directing because he's amazing in this - he does the most realistic crying I've ever seen, managing to communiate real grief without childish sobbing. Partly that's because there are a lot of adults with important parts and they cast very experineced and effective actors - but the two leads are fantastic in this. The acting is some of the best I've seen in a BL. Even the house's protecting spirit is a complex character. The two leads don't fit into two neat seme/uke boxes - they are fully realized characters, who react like normal people to situations.
The writing respects the intelligence of the audience, which is a nice change, and there are none of the tired cliches that seem to clog every BL.
The plot is well-thought out, and does not go for a cheap ending. The characters are not 2D archetypes - they are complex and flawed, and there are no villains or heroes. The writing is excellent, and personal to the author, which shows in the realism of the writing. Note that this is a review of the uncut version - the cut version is significantly less good, and it also cuts out almost all the love scenes, which are mostly very well-done and lovely kissing. Truly wonderful series I think this is only the 3rd time I've rated something a 10.
