10/10 even putting aside my bias lens.

Wonderful cinematography & directing. Yes the source novel is absolutely wonderful but the script-writing of the series & directly brings a different nuance. The characters - from the main heroines to the supporting cast all have so much life.

This is a period romance that is beautifully paced and no scene feels out of place. Every supporting cast is given the right scenes to shine and they serve to move to the plot forward.

Pacing so far is done well. Love scenes are beautifully directed & intimate - and they are not done for the sake of inserting s*x scenes. Rather as a viewer, you get so invested in the relationship that it's only natural for them to be making out/love etc.

In spite of the heavy drama to come, I think the series thus far has managed to tastefully inject comedy together with some light-heartedness.

The Thai Culture & elements are also woven into the plot nicely rather than just randomly showing up as a requirement (because of Ministry sponsorship)

I am so seated for what is to come.

The Loyal Pin, a production by the renowned FreenBecky, stands out as a compelling and emotionally resonant film that has captivated audiences with its heartfelt storytelling and strong character development. The film's success is a testament to the creative vision and talent of the FreenBecky team, and it offers a remarkable viewing experience for fans of contemporary romance and drama.

One of the most notable aspects of the film is its exceptional character development. The lead characters are crafted with remarkable depth and nuance, making their experiences and relationships feel authentic and relatable. The performances by the cast are both compelling and heartfelt, bringing the characters to life with a sincerity that resonates with audiences. Their chemistry is palpable, and their interactions are portrayed with a level of realism that enhances the emotional impact of the film.

Either if you are a FreenBecky's fan or not you should watch this.

This is not like the other GL's out there with toxic characters, or very little episodes that they had to cut scenes resulting in plot holes.

The series has 16 eps and so far the first 10s (show is still on going at the moment) were very well crafted.

For the first time watching a GL I felt the pace of the storyline amazingly flowing, showing every detail and most of all, showing a proper character development.

The love story at the centre of this show is very well represented, never felt this much represented in a long time: the longing, the anticipation, the looks, the yearning, the sadness, the pain and the tension.

The built up is incredible.

The story has "red flag" characters, but this time they are there to make people aware of what is wrong in the society, not there to glorify them.

Also, the show has a very talented and well known director and we can see it throughout the very well written dialogues (never felt cringed even once), little details, amazing shots, wonderful wardrobe.

The representation of Thai culture is also insane, that's why this is the first GL backed by the Thai government.

Extra points of course for the unmatchable chemistry FreenBecky have on screen, they are not my favourite GL couple and yet even I am surrendering to them as the top 1 chemistry couple.

Shoutout to both of the actresses (especially Becky) for their acting development they had since Gap, they are not my favourite but we can see their effort they put to improve themselves.

In conclusion, give this show a chance, it's worth it.

Anybody who thinks I am spamming by giving this series 10 stars does not understand how I feel about it. No other series have I watched over and over again already. It is my favourite show, it looks so good, its a pure romance and feel the love.

I could rate it dispassionately, but that would be very hard, this show provides everything I want.

Why you should watch it The romance feels real The series takes the time to let you understand why each of the many character acts the way they do Nothing is rushed The visuals are stunning Its a period drama, with great costume and sets The words are poetic It has comedy and great supporting characters I would say if you like romantic films, books or series, this will provide everything you want.

I am an inter fan and straight however I suggest you should definitely watch The Loyal Pin, a historical GL (Girls' Love) series starring Freen Sarocha and Rebecca Patricia Armstrong, for several compelling reasons:

1. Remarkable Chemistry: Freen and Rebecca's on-screen chemistry is truly magnetic. Their natural connection enhances the emotional depth of the characters and makes their relationship not only believable but also unforgettable.

2. Showcase of Thai Culture: The series, in partnership with Thailand's Ministry of Commerce, doubles as a soft power initiative. It beautifully showcases Thailand's rich culture, delicious food, and stunning travel destinations. Whether it's traditional attire, local cuisine, or scenic landscapes, the series introduces global viewers to the vibrant aspects of Thai heritage.

3. Stunning Cinematography and CGI: Visually, The Loyal Pin is a feast for the eyes. The cinematography is carefully crafted to highlight the beauty of Thailand's landscapes, while the CGI enhances the storytelling without overwhelming it. Each scene is thoughtfully composed, drawing the audience into a world both historical and fantastical.

4. Strong Performances: The leading actresses Rebecca Armstrong & Freen Sarocha exceeded expectations, delivering powerful performances that elevate the story. Freen and Rebecca bring their characters to life with nuanced portrayals, while the supporting cast adds layers to the narrative, enriching the series as a whole.

5. Exceptional Direction: The director's vision and craftsmanship stand out. From orchestrating intimate moments to grand sequences, the direction is spot on, ensuring that every scene is meaningful and impactful.

6. Music That Complements the Story: The musical score beautifully complements the emotional tone of the series, intensifying key moments and drawing viewers further into the story.

With its perfect blend of romance, history, and Thai cultural elements, The Loyal Pin is a must-watch for those looking for more than just entertainment-it's an immersive experience.
