I started The Loyal Pin after finishing GAP: The Series, which was my introduction to Thai GLs. It was only the second Thai GL I watched, and at that time I was still very new to Thai GL media. I guess period dramas weren’t really my type back then. I also didn’t understand the Thai royal system at the beginning of the series because I was unfamiliar with Thai culture. Those royal titles and ranks confused me a lot 🥲.

But I still continued watching because, at that time, there weren’t many GLs released compared to now. I really liked the soft romance trope in The Loyal Pin because, from the series I had seen so far, most main couples felt kind of toxic compared to AninPin 🤧.

One thing I noticed very clearly was how much Becky Armstrong’s acting skills improved from her previous project, GAP: The Series ☺️ She really did a great job playing Princess Anin. And Freen Sarocha — no words for her acting skills seriously 🛐 She literally expressed every emotion even with fewer dialogues.

Even though I liked The Loyal Pin, after around 10 episodes it started to feel stretched to me 😭 Like they were dragging the story too much. I was okay with the sweet and cute moments between Anin and Pin, but at one point it became too sweet for me to handle. It felt like there was nothing except romantic scenes 🤧 I felt like the story itself wasn’t progressing in a very interesting way, so I stopped watching right before the real drama started 😭.

Then, after 6 months, an Instagram reel popped up on my feed about favorite lines from Thai GLs. I opened the comment section, and it was filled with so many iconic dialogues. I don’t remember most of them clearly, but one line caught my attention instantly 😩

“The feelings I have for Khun Pin are like a fabric woven with gold and silver threads ✨...”

I immediately searched for the series again, and that’s when I found out the dialogue was from The Loyal Pin. So I decided to resume watching it again, at least just to see that scene in Episode 12.

I restarted from Episode 11, and oh my God, I loved the way they presented Lanna culture. The scenery was shot so beautifully. And when Aunt Pat found out about them, that’s when the real drama truly began 🥲 Episode 12 became my all-time favorite episode, especially the climax where Anin used the cloth analogy to express her feelings 💖 Becky DESERVED an Oscar for that scene.

I felt so many emotions throughout Episodes 13 and 14. The anguish I felt was insane 🤧 Pin accepting her fate without questioning it and Anin dropping the ring — my reaction was literally, “What the hell am I watching?” 😭😭😭 It was so heartbreaking. Then after Episode 15, I finally recovered from the pain caused by the previous episodes.

And honestly, I loved Episode 16 the most 💖 The way they handled every issue in that single episode didn’t feel rushed at all. Instead, every scene felt meaningful. The way both Anin and Pin fought together for their love was so wholesome. I also have to admit that all the members of the Sawettawarit family were green flags. They accepted Pin surprisingly quickly without dragging the conflict unnecessarily. Episode 16 had such a perfect ending, with AninPin living together with their niece like a complete little family 🫂🤧.

After rewatching the series many times, I always discover something new about Thai culture, royal traditions, food, and many other details. There’s honestly so much to learn from this series 🤧

After all of this, I can proudly say that The Loyal Pin is a masterpiece ✨ I mean, no other Thai GL has felt this perfect to me, even after watching many GLs released until now. The cast, production, directing team, music team — everything was incredible. And having 16 episodes gave the show enough time for proper character development, a balanced pace, and a satisfying ending. I honestly think it’s almost impossible to create another series on the same level as The Loyal Pin in the future. It truly feels like a one-of-a-kind drama 🛐.

I wasn’t even a FreenBecky stan before, but I swear they became my ultimate biases because of The Loyal Pin. I mean, how can everything about them feel so perfect? ✨🤧 Now I completely understand why they are called the OGs.

I still have so much more to say about this series, but I tried to keep this as short as possible 😭 It’s my all-time favorite series. And now I’m waiting for The Air to premiere so impatiently 🤧.

So, which series made you feel like this? Kindly share your thoughts in the comments ☺️

If I have to say the best and most well-written male character in Thai GLs, it must be Prince Anan from The Loyal Pin.

Man 😩, this man literally has the heart of an angel 🤧. I mean, considering the 1950s setting, a man who grew up in a patriarchal society — and that too in a royal family — realistically couldn’t have been much better than him.

But I do agree that he became a more progressive and mature person because of his studies in England. Living in a foreign country and meeting different kinds of people made him more open-minded.

He loved Anin so much that if she had asked him to bring down the moon and stars from the sky, he would have done it without hesitation 🤧. He is literally the definition of the perfect big brother 😭💖. Even though there is a 10-year age gap between Anan and Anin, he became Anin’s best friend — someone she could always share her feelings, thoughts, and pain with 😭😭😭.

**What kind of a big brother values his sister more than anything else 💎🎀? He literally built a palace for Anin before she returned home for the first time as her graduation gift even before completing her graduation . At that time, he was about to marry Khun Parawatee, yet he prioritized finishing the Pine Palace before Anin’s arrival. He even fixed his wedding date according to Anin’s semester holidays so she could attend without any worries 🫠.

When he found out about Anin and Pin’s relationship, he didn’t stop Anin. Instead, he protected his sister. He made sure no one would suspect Anin and Pin’s relationship. And the most important thing is that he never confronted Anin about Pin until Anin herself opened up to him 🫂.

He knew the pain of not being able to be with the person you love, so he wished Anin would never have to suffer the same fate as him. The reason he didn’t take a stand for Anin in Episode 12 was because he was worried about his mother’s health. But afterward, he quickly went to apologize to and comfort Anin, who was devastated by Pin’s decision.

He even tried to cheer Anin up regarding Pin 🥹. In the novels, it is Prince Anan who first finds out about KITKAT KUEA 😤 being a womanizer and informs Anin about it. He helped Anin gather evidence against Kuea to stop Pin’s marriage to him 😇.

It is also mentioned in the novel that if Savitree had not come to stop the wedding, Prince Anan himself would have stopped the marriage without caring about his duties or reputation. He was ready to put his position in danger just for Anin’s sake 🫠.

He cleverly and smoothly convinced his father to accept Pin as Anin’s partner 🤧. From beginning to end, he always supported Anin. This man even named his daughter “Alinrada” just so her name would match his sister’s name, “Anilaphat” 🫠.

He loved and cared for Anin so deeply that even his father and the rest of the family sometimes wondered whether Anin was his sister or his daughter 😩. He is literally the best brother in the world 💎. I could rant about him nonstop 🛐.

Now tell me, where can I find a brother like him 😭😭😭? I genuinely don’t think a brother could be more perfect than this 💖.

Who is your favorite male character from Thai GLs? Comment below 😊. He is my top 1 that's why I only mentioned him. Kindly share your thoughts on this ☺️.

Does anybody else feel the same way as me about this? 😮‍💨

I don’t know why, but The Earth worked better for me than The Water. I love Englot so dearly, but sadly The Water couldn’t fully live up to my expectations. 🤧

Maybe it’s because I never expected to love AppleMim as DinRose and The Earth this much in the first place. I didn’t really have any huge expectations for them from the beginning, but they completely blew my mind with their performances in The Earth.

That said, Englot delivered some of their best acting performances so far in The Water, especially Charlotte in EP 6. God, that episode made me cry so badly 😭. Up until EP 6, I was really enjoying The Water, but I got a little disappointed with the last two episodes, especially EP 7.

Even The Earth had similar issues, but despite the heavy and rushed final episodes and ending, I still enjoyed The Earth more overall, to be honest. I honestly think both series would’ve benefited a lot from having at least 10 episodes so the story could flow properly without feeling rushed.

One thing I loved about The Earth was the cousin interactions, which have always been my favorite part. The drama between the main characters and supporting characters also felt more balanced.

Meanwhile, The Water had fewer cousin interactions and less screen time for them, which felt unsatisfying to me. But the Englot scenes were genuinely so good and cute 🤧. I also noticed that the directing team made several changes from the novel.

Sometimes those changes made sense, but other times they really didn’t work for me. Maybe it’s because I was attached to certain aspects of the novel. Personally, I don’t think Fah’s character needed that much focus in the series. What makes this anthology series more special than other GLs is mainly the cousins’ bond, but Fah’s character sometimes made it feel like the cousins became more distant from each other.

Nam is closer to Din, while Lom is closer to Fai. Din and Nam are literally like two heartbeats moving at the same pace. I really missed their novel interactions in the series.

And honestly, Lada feels much more consistent in the novel than in the series. In the novel, she never even had the thought of poisoning the food in the first place, unlike in the adaptation.

One change I actually loved, though, was Khun Pao’s approach toward Lada. Also, Nam feels way more expressive in the series compared to the novel. And PLEASE… they should’ve kept that RAMYEON SCENE in the series 😩.

My personal ratings for both series:

The Earth — 8.5/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨

The Water — 8.0/10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐

Anyways, what are your thoughts on this? 🤔

" I'M NOT THAT KIND, YOU MUST BE PUNISHED TONIGHT " - DIRECTED BY KHUN PIN 🛐

Out of all types of scenes that I watched in all Thai GL's, especially this scene,

" THE PUNISHMENT SCENE " - From The Loyal Pin

Is the Only scene that made me lost my mind, senses and soul whatever 😅. To be Frank I lost my shit for straight 2 days not able to process anything in my mind except this scene. It's really insane 🫡.

The chemistry between FreenBecky is insane man, especially in this scene. Even though they are acting it felt like they are doing that for real 🤭.

God I never really watched a love scene that is so intense, sexy and so so so realistic 🔥. The guts that Lady Becky has to move like that is no joke 🛐. And Freen looking so intensely at her while she is pinning her is so so soooo hot and crazy 🥵.

Handsdown it's the best love scene I had ever watched 💖💎🛐.

Which scenes from Thai GL's made your mind go blank ? 🧐

LukPhi Rose, your workaholic cousin-in-law is not as innocent and nerdy as you imagined 🤓.

Rose really looks like the big boss of the cousins’ wives, lmao 🤣.

What do you mean you sent P’Din to Nam to guide her about the first night, Rose? 😂 They already did that before the marriage 😌.

At least P’Din waited for your father’s consent, but Nam is not that patient 🤭😉.

And Lada giving Nam a 5-star rating for everything before Rose is cracking me up 🤣🤣🤣.

Not Rose giving that proud look after Lada’s confirmation 🤭, it's pure diamond 💎.

Finally, it’s happening 😭😭😭

Our Love Guru Lom finally got the bouquet now, yayyyy 🥳💥🎉

Also, the fact that Lada wanted to give the bouquet to Lom instead of Nate or the others made me so happy about their bond 🧿🧿🧿.

Not Fai dragging Lom to catch the bouquet at both cousins’ weddings is cracking me up 🤣🤣🤣

Looks like Fai is really eager to marry Kaphrao early.

Lom looking like a lost puppy, completely confused after getting the bouquet, was both hilarious and adorable at the same time 🤭.

Lom girlll, now you know how it feels to get the bouquet without your involvement, just like what you did with Nam 😉.

Finally, to be frank, if it hadn’t been NamLada’s wedding, the way Lada gave the bouquet to Lom lowkey made it feel like Lada was proposing to Lom.

I know it sounds ridiculous, but I totally got a whiff of FREENLOTTE chemistry there 🤧.

And the way Fai was watching both Lada and Lom was hilarious 🤣🤣🤣

What were those facial expressions, Fai? 😭

Fai hugging P’Din when Lom tried to give her the bouquet was so cute, naarak maak 🥰.

And finally…

Khun Wadee asking Lom if she had a girlfriend, and as usual, our playgirl replying “No” and immediately reverse-flirting with Wadee by asking if she was single,absolutely took me out 🤣🤣🤣.

Lom, your girl is coming soon, so stop flirting if you want to stay alive, for God’s sake 🤧.

I didn’t know Adam’s Apple could look so good and attractive until I watched LM’s. ✨

My god, it looks like every part of this woman’s body is sculpted by the gods. 😩

How can she look so perfect from every angle, and not have a single bad angle?

God, I swear, that RASPY voice of hers made me think about so many things while watching Affair EP6 🤧. I don’t know how Sonya handles that much hotness 🥵.

The first thing I always notice about LookMhee is her Adam’s apple and then her jawline 💫. Such a well-defined face and bone-structured throat. Her looks are so striking and crisp. She has her own beauty and unique charm that attracts people to her. 🛐

Funny thing is, once in an interview, LM said a tomboy used to hit on her. But LM said, even though the tomboy was hitting on her, she was the one who looked like a man. 🤣🤣🤣

LM is so goofy and quick-witted; she makes me fall for her even more every day. Not to mention her way of kissing and those gentle, eager nose rubs 🤌😩—God, that would end me someday. 😭🤧

Guys...

Some viewers think that Fai is jobless, but that’s not true, my friends 😭😭😭.

The Wathinwanit family has deep roots of old wealth and money.

As you all know, Din own​s nearly 100 acres of farmland, Nam owns the Wathin Group hotel chains, and Lom is a lieutenant in the Royal Thai Police.

Even though Lom's profession isn't as wealthy as the other cousins', she still comes from old money. Her mom, Yoshita (not completely sure about the name), is involved in some hotel business, and her dad, General Wathit, has a good amount of wealth from the real estate business.

Now, when it comes to our Nong Luk Fai, she is the wealthiest one among all her cousins. She’s the heir to her father Akhanee's business.

Fai literally owns a mining business and an entire island 🏝️ in Surat Thani, in the southern region of Thailand.

If you compare her wealth to all GL characters, she would probably be in the top 2, next to Princess Anin from The Loyal Pin 🤑.

Because Fai appears casually in The Earth, some viewers thought she was jobless. She’s not jobless, but a hard worker who helps her father manage the Wathin family business, just like Nam.

"So, mates, don’t call my little baby jobless 🤧"

Oh God, I can't breathe 🥵

That’s so freaking hot 🔥

Khun Sam, please have mercy on us 🛐

Sam has really become a dog for Mon, bro 🤣 – I mean, obeying all of Mon's commands with a smile.

​Sam is truly a gone case for Mon 💗🫠.

And the way she’s looking at Mon while sucking her finger 🥵 – oh God, I can't tolerate that much heat.

Mon literally has Sam wrapped around her finger 💖 lmao 🤣🤣🤣.

I found this video on YouTube and thought of sharing it with you guys 🤭.​Credits: FreenBecky edits @ tanya0601 on YouTube.

What’s your opinion about this scene, mates? 🫠 For me, this was hot as fuck 🛐​.

I don't think we’ll get to watch FreenBecky’s reactions for 4E: The Air because FB have fully packed schedules back-to-back. 🤧

Sorry, guys, I don't have access to the subtitles, but their reactions are enough for us to understand, lmao 🤣.

I thought I missed watching their reactions, so I went back to watch the Loyal Pin reactions again, and lmao 🤣, it was pure gold.

The highlight of this reaction is when Becky said, "Oh no, not this!!!" lmao 😂😂😂.

After that first reaction, Freen, still in shock, taps Becky, who’s more impatient, and asks her to watch the spicy teaser again 🥵, saying, “Listen to me!” From 1:23 to 1:32, Freen says, "There is no other scene 😳🤭, except this, and only this!"—always cracks me up 🤣🤣🤣.

Freen freaking out after seeing her own tongue, lmao 🤣. It’s so hilarious.

Girls, why are you both so shy? You did those scenes! On top of that, you’ve always admitted that love scenes are very easy for both of you to film. So, why are you turning red and shy watching yourselves, lol 😂?

At 3:10 ​Freen asks, "Why is Khun Pin so heated 🥵? I thought she was a good person," and Becky answers, "She is not a good person," which is so funny. After that, Freen blocked out Becky’s words and gave a witty reply: "Thanks for the compliment" 🤭.

They’re so hilarious, man 😅, I love them. It’s clearly BFPFK for you all 💗🤧.​

Guys, does anyone miss this intro? 😭😭😭😭😭

I really miss this intro so, so, so badly. 🤧

At the time of 4E overtures, I didn't think I would love The Earth couple this much. God, they are so sweet and Naaarak maaak ✨ 🧿

P'Din and Nong Rose have become like family to me, to be honest. Who would've thought the couple with the least expectations would deliver a hit this hard?

I’m sure even if The Water, The And, and The Fire become more successful than The Earth, they can't change the effect that The Earth had on us.💫

I remember waiting patiently every week for each new episode of The Earth. I’ve never watched and gotten so hooked on any ongoing GL like this before.

AppleMim 🍏🐝 delivered their best performances as DinRose 💖. Not to mention all the cast of 4E: The Earth – they’re platinum, I swear. Especially the cousins 🤧, they have my heart. I’ve never connected to a fictional family to this extent.

P'Apple voice is so soothing to my ears, P'App you have a very good singing voice 🤧. ​Hoping for new couple projects for AppleMim in the future. P'App and P'Mim, all the very best for your new projects, naka 😇🤧.

Waiting impatiently for The Air, where our P'Din and Nong Rose will have interactions with our Daddy Lom 😘 and Princess Blew 💗.

The only reason I got into this rabbit hole is purely because of this hella gorgeous woman 💫.

​One fine night, some reel on my YouTube feed suggested Thai GL recommendations, and all the comments were flooded with Gap. So, I wanted to give it a try and searched for the cast information.

And then, Boom 💥, this woman popped up on my screen, and I liked her instantly. I straight-up went to watch Gap without knowing any of the plot, lol 🤣.

I must say, even though I started watching Gap because of Becky, by the end, I ended up being a big FREEN simp 🤭.

And these two became my obsession ever since that day 🛐.

Which GL actress's face card dragged you into Thai GLs?​🧐

Help guys !!!

I think I found these pics from somewhere online, but I don't remember from where exactly.

Have you ever came across these pics ?

These posters looks so good, but these are generated by AI I think.

FreenBecky are looking so good in this.

Please let me know if you have seen it somewhere, I tried to find it but it didn't happen.

Why are they so perfect and so cute? 🤧

The looks they gave each other always felt so intimate to me. 😘

God, there’s something special in Freen’s eyes and the way she looks at Becky with so much love. 💫

That YEARNING look from Freen might end me someday. 😩

I’ve seen many pairs, but I haven’t felt the same magic like I do with these two. ✨

I think the song Perfect by Ed Sheeran was written for them. They're that much perfect 🫠.

They’ve successfully turned me into a shipper, even though I was against shipping at first. 🤭

I swear ​FreenBecky are so precious, man. 💖😭​

Re-watching the ​Cranium trailer for the nth time that I even won't need any subtitles now, hoping that it would happen in future.🤞

I am must have gone nuts w​hile they both​ are arguing and on the verge of breakup,😅

Meanwhile me who's shouting at the screen that,

" ​Freen is So So So Hot " 🥵

Seriously Freen is ridiculously hot in those crispy outfits and in that Angry look 😮‍💨.

Me on my way to learn exorcism 🏴‍☠️ to make Cranium 💀 happen 🤧.

IDF when I get you, they played with our feelings like giving a chocolate to a little boy only to take it back again.

If you're going to bankrupt just fucking sell the novel rights. Atleast in that way we ​get to watch this Masterpiece.

I read the Novel and it was so good to be true. FreenBecky playing an Enemies to Lovers trope is that all I want​ 🥹.

I don't want our girls to work that shitty company again, who don't pay their artists for their hardwork but try to make revenue out of them.

Jesus Christ make Cranium happen please 😭😭.
