reviews_and_ramblings | The Middleman's Love (2023)

The Middleman's Love was a pleasant surprise; sure, there are some faults, but all in all, it was way better than many other series I have seen lately, therefore not sure why it's rated so love in the ranking of 2023. Anyway, starting from the faults, yes Jade was a little too much something, and some of his expressions, instead of being cute, were putting me off the mood, especially when they were during the intimate moments with Mai. But Mai, OMG, he was so sexy, and yet so tender; he was this sort of mix of sex on legs demon with an angelic face, and want me to start when he put on Jade's glasses? he was even more sexy. Anyway the sex scenes (two of them), I think they mixed up somewhat filming for sex scene 1 with sex scene 2: the feeling was they wanted to have just one sex scene, but then they decide a second one right at the end, so basically they tried to cut the footage in two. And in sex scene 1, what happened at first? without going into too much technical details, I think they wanted to imply that at first they limited to kisses (and maybe something more), but not full intercourse, and then Jade decided to go for it... but here the awkardness is not actor's fault, it's the screenwriter that I think messed up the dialogue. Anyway, as I said, better than expected. Tutor Koraphat Lamnoi is plenty worthy watching (those lips are XXX rated, he is not kissing Jade, he is eating him), and lucky us, he is in almost all the scenes. HEA. You can see it on iQIYI, YouTube, GagaOOLala and Viki. Heat Level: 5/6.
