Series Review: GAP The Series

GAP The Series is the first Thailand Girls Love series that has been stealing hearts worldwide. They offer something truly special. It gives us an insight into the world we don't often get to see on television or film, which can be quite eye-opening at times; the lesbian relationships between Thai women who are struggling in a society where same-sex love isn't always accepted or understood by those around them. This show does not shy away from showing how difficult it can be for LGBTQ+ people living in such circumstances while trying to find acceptance within themselves, their families, and their friends. This show is so special and unique for many reasons, but for me, their great production and cinematography will be the main subject of this whole review. It is amazing how much effort they put into making this show special—it provides great entertainment. 

 Here are why the show is a must-watch, especially for the community:

1. Outstanding Cinematography 

The cinematography of GAP the series is definitely one of its best features. Using colors and angles to depict each character's personality and emotions brings a whole other level to this show. Mon is often shown with bright pink tones that reflect her cheerful and optimistic traits, while Sam wears mostly black with neutral shades around her, which conveys how she lives in sorrowful loneliness until she meets Mon.

Moreover, we can see how the director takes extra care in framing their scenes from afar at first – highlighting Khun Sam’s lonely life as she returns home after work every day – before slowly shifting the focus when Mon enters the picture, showing us just how much happiness has been brought into Khun Sam’s house.

Overall, it's clear that GAP The Series put great effort into ensuring they capture all these small details perfectly through their cinematography. Allowing viewers like us to really feel what our characters are going through on screen.

2. Conflicts that most people in the community can relate to 

As an Asian, I understand the struggles that many LGBTQ+ individuals face in our countries. It's hard enough to be accepted by society, let alone your own family. We often hide our true identities from our families for fear of not being accepted or facing rejection. Mon and Sam faced this problem; Sam’s family was not supportive of their relationship at first but eventually came around to understanding it and blessing them.

This story reminds us of how important it is for Asians to be more open-minded when it comes to same-sex relationships or gender identity expression issues. We all deserve love and acceptance no matter what our sexual orientation may be; there should never have been any judgmental eyes upon Mon and Sam simply because of whom they chose as partners in life.

3. Women's point of view 

It's not a secret that when it comes to girl-on-girl relationships in TV and movies, the sex scenes can often be disappointing. They tend to use the male gaze when objectifying women and often depict how they want women to look during orgasmic moments rather than what would actually make them feel satisfied or loved. However, this show caught my attention for its take on this. This series showed us how women could express themselves naturally without being overly sexualized or objectified in any way. The intimate scenes featured real emotions between two people who genuinely enjoyed each other’s company without feeling pressured by societal norms and expectations of what they should look like during an orgasmic moment together. Seeing these characters express themselves with such authenticity and vulnerability was heartwarming, something we don't get enough of nowadays.

The truth is everyone has different preferences regarding what makes them feel aroused, so why should we all be subjected to one particular view? This series helps us understand that intimate moments don't always require naked bodies or overly exaggerated reactions. Showing emotion through subtle gestures can actually create even more powerful, impactful stories about the true connections between two people.

4. Great Chemistry by the main characters 

A series would only be good with the role of the actress/actor and how they portrayed the characters in the series.

We’ve all seen it before—two actresses who play lesbians and have such incredible chemistry that people can't help but ship them. But, Freen and Becky have created an undeniable, special bond on the screen. Their performances are so convincing that viewers feel as if they're witnessing a real-life relationship unfold in front of them. No wonder these two talented individuals are getting so much attention from fans; their connection is truly remarkable to watch.
