Yet another BL Thai drama that is all set to set the bar high for all of us but this time with a tinge of fantasy and magic to make the show even heart-fluttering. Directed by Jane Kitt Botta and written by screenplay writers Thanaphon Masap and Yaowalak Ngamyan, The Luminous Solution stars actor Mig Teerapat Prongaroon in the role of Thana and Gun Napat Na Ranong for the role of Patis, our two main leads.
Actor Bhu Bhudis Viseshchitra as Mai and Bell Ratchata Kumsup as Reaow are also a part of the show’s main cast. Apart from these four, the show has Kacha Nontanun Anchuleepradit, Dome Woranart Ratthanaphast, Tontae Tinnakorn Puwasakdiwong, and many more as a part of the show’s talented supporting cast.
The show is one of the few that have two main couples, Thana and Patis and Mai and Reaow, where both seem to be facing trouble in their relationships. But it is only when all four become ridiculously desperate to protect their years-old relationship that fate decides to interfere. The Thai entertainment industry is known to have quite some experience with BL series and dramas, which is why fans have high hopes and expectations for this one too.
The Luminous Solution: The Plot
One of our main leads, Thana, is introduced as an office employee who after struggling with his job for a while eventually ends up getting fired. He has a boyfriend named Patis, and the two have been together for almost a decade though they seem to be facing troubles now as well. Reaow and Mai are high schoolers who go to the same school and are in the same class.
Mai seems to have fallen head over heels in love with Reaow, but for some reason, the two cannot be together, and even though Reaow also likes Mai, the two and their relationship suffer heavily, causing them immense pain. Both couples, at first not knowing about the other couple’s existence, fight and struggle to save their relationships, all the while trying to deal with other problems in life.
The fantastical aspect of the show is the form of a coffee shop, which may look completely ordinary on the outside but, in reality, possesses something special. Apparently, it finds you or brings you to its doorstep when one is most desperate and in need. And when nothing seems to be working for the two couples, and they are on the verge of giving up, they find themselves weirdly drawn to that coffee shop.
Once the coffee place seems to be under their radar, all they have to do is sit back and let fate and destiny do their thing and change their lives. Obviously, this, too, would not happen without their efforts and hard work. And there is another cue they need to keep in mind, which is that when the heavens take you into their wing and when they start helping you, fulfilling your wishes, one needs to be completely prepared for the consequences and to pay the price.
