When fate reveals your soulmate through an obvious sign, what else could you do but accept it? That’s what the BL series, La Pluie, revolves around. The protagonist, Saengtai, suffers from a type of deafness that only happens when it starts raining. This sensorineural loss causes him to be cut off from the world for some time, and he chooses to seclude himself for the time being until one day, he starts hearing another voice calling out for him.
The series premiered on April 29th, 2023, and has been ordered for around 12 episodes. Fluke Teerapat Lohanan and Tanachot Prapasri serve as the screenwriters for La Pluie. It’s believed to be adapted from an existing novel written by Eddy that goes by the same name. Now that we’re halfway through the series, Saengtai seems to be getting more comfortable with Phatt, despite being an introvert. The thought that they were soulmates was now a reality since they got along so well with each other.
The cast members of La Pluie include Pee Peerawich Ploynumpol and Title Tanatorn Saenangkanikorn. Pee is a medical student in real life as well and has previously worked in dramas like YYY and SosatSeoulsay. The title has relatively worked in more shows such as Future, My Only 12%, Remember Me, and Until We Meet Again.
La Pluie Episode 4: Recap
In last week’s episode, we see Saengtai waking up to find himself in Phatt’s house. He walks around the house to find a letter left by Phatt. The letter explains how he had gotten there, which was when Saengtai was clinging to Phatt and didn’t want to let him go. Since Phatt didn’t want to make him feel sad, he took Saentai home with him and helped him get dressed.
In the letter, Phatt assures Saengtai that they didn’t have any physical contact except when Saengtai bit him, but from a flashback of the previous night, we see that there was more to the story. Asides from informing him about what happened the day before, he also lets Saengtai know that he wasn’t in a relationship with anyone else and wants to get the chance to know him better.
Nara arrives at Phatt’s clinic and tries to share her feelings, but Phatt stops her. The duo used to date before but had broken up, and now Nara feels she knows how to be a better girlfriend, but Phatt seems resistant to going back to a relationship with Nara. Saengtai shows up at the clinic later as well, just as Phatt is leaving. He returns Phatt’s clothes and talks about the note. Just as their talking, Phatt leans in closer and asks Saengtai to go have dinner with him.
When they arrive for dinner, things get awkward for Saengtai, and he asks Phatt to order for him instead. Seeing Saengtai’s completely different personality from before, Phatt calls him a shaved cat. They have a heartfelt time at the dinner and seem to connect more than they did before. Just as Phatt drops Saengtai off, it starts raining. Through the rain and thunderstorm, Saengtai realizes that he can talk to Phatt, meaning the fact that they are soulmates is true.
We go back to a flashback from the last night when Saengtai asks Phatt to reveal what truly happened. Saengtai had hugged Phatt after being mad at him for being a playboy. They had also kissed each other, which explains why Phatt had cut off the “I swear” from the letter he had left behind.
