Main Article Content
Abstract
Everyone has their respective definition in interpreting what love is. This article explores the meaning of love, especially the meaning of lover, in ‘2gether: The Series’, a Thai boys’ love series. In this article, the perspective of sociology is elaborated in the discussion for viewing the meaning of love. This study applied a descriptive qualitative method. Critical discourse analysis by Fairclough used for data analysis. Fundamentally, there are no restrictions at all for the meaning of love. However, it does not mean that
love is free of values. On the contrary, love is full of values of goodness and life. Because of love, someone can burst into happiness by crying . Furthermore, because of love, someone can become infatuated with something. Love is full of value, which is rarely defined precisely. In the end,
the meaning of love returns to purity and holiness (humanistic values).
