It's sooooo bad

Seriously, why does this have such a good rating, wtf? This is soooo bad, all characters are assholes (besides their friends) and the plot is so uncreative and badly done, why does everyone loves this series? Honestly this plot is so overused, this is literally like the main couple in MIR, only that in MIR they are teenagers and not grown men who act likes children like here. I watched it at 2x speed in the end because I hoped that it will get better, but it doesn't. Don't watch it if you don't want to waste your time. The only good thing about this are the actors, that's it. I'm giving this 1 star because I want to lower the ratings.

I want to like it more, because I know it's good

I want to like it more, because it's finally a BL which is different, where the BL aspect isn't in the center. But my attention span wasn't long enough,(don't binge-watch it like me) to enjoy it properly. It's art, the scenes are beautiful, but it's like watching art for hours, it isn't too exciting you know? And I felt like the pacing is too slow, even though stuff happened all the time. It just didn't made me want to necessarily continue watching, like not in the staying-up-all-night-to-finish-it way. And the ending could be better done, it needs a season 2 but I think that they are trying to keep it open. But the quality and the acting were sooo good, so give it a shot!

It's a product of its time

I watched Lovesick for the sole reason that it is the first real Thai bl (well maybe hormones count to.)

It's not fair to compare it to bls nowadays, obviously it the budget was not big enough, as bl was not as popular. But it still was enjoyable, especially the first season. This season on the other hand... was wayyy too long and still did not manage to give some side couples a real ending.

1. The vacation storyline could be done in three episodes and it would have been better. It was honestly quite frustrating to watch Noh hide that Phun girlfriend cheats on him. And whyyyy did Yuri not break up with him. I mean, I can understand her, but I felt like it was bad writing. But I really liked Noh and Phun together, they were really cute. (Even though I wished Noh would admit being gay or bi and not "only liking Phun" but I didn't expect this from a Bl from 2014 anyways). I also liked how Noh and Phun learned to stop avoiding confrontation,

2. The girls academy side story. This isn't completely a bl, but it also is a highschool drama. Since I enjoyed Hormones I also enjoyed the side story, even though they really stretched it. I kinda liked Jeed story, expect the fact she almost literally killed her ex lol. But i wished they would have given Jeed a Yuri a real conversation, because in the end, Jeed actually thought Yuri hated her because Aim more or less told her that. However, I liked Jeed personality change in the end.

3. The side couples. Ohm's storyline was well done, I really enjoyed it and rooted him and Mick. But Pete and Earn... It had so much potential. It was quite confusing, was Earn bothered by Pete liking Yuri because he liked Pete or because he liked Noh? I think it was the perfect situation to develop their story. But we didn't get that, but instead we saw Pete confessing (?) to Earn in the last 5 seconds of the show. Honestly, I would have been ok with him getting together with Yuri(she deserves a happy end) instead of a half-baked ending like that. In my head canon Earnpete are together, but I would have loved at least like idk ten seconds more. It would have been so easy to give them a satisfying ending. Literally, Pete calling Earn and confessing and Earn telling him to call him back so he could listen to Earn's romantic ringtone (like he did with Noh)would be a nice ending. Or literally just a short footage of them holding hands in the last seconds would have been enough. Not to mention Per and Win. What was that ending? While I didn't ship Win with anyone, I would still like to see who he would choose. (In my headcanon he chooses Per, even though per doesn't like him back)

In conclusion, it had great potential, just like 16 episodes less and a better ending would have made this like an 7-8/10. But would I have loved this if it was 2014 and this would be my first bl? Hell yeah. Do I recommend watching it? The first season, yes sure, this season not so much, maybe like on 2x speed like I did lol. But in 2023 there are too many bls better than this, but this is iconic so watch it if you have time for 36 episodes.

This is addictive

!Very small spoiler!
Was is problematic? Yes. Was the communication a complete mess? Yes. Was it a rollercoaster of emotions? YES. But I loved every second of it. This was sooo entertaining that I can even ignore that the highschool students look like 30 years old lol. It reminds me of every good japanese yaoi from the early 2000s but there is something special about it. Maybe it´s the combo of the yandere stalker top and the tsundere bottom. The popular kid x the awkward outcast but with an twist. They are both not exactly healthy but it's funny how perfect they are for each other. Even though it bugged me that Kiyoi was so aggressive and the time skip. I HATE TIME SKIPS, THEY ARE SOO FRUSTRATING. Still at least the timeskip was reasonable and it made sense to have one. All in all, it´s the best short BL series I´ve watched so far, will definitely rewatch (again...) it some time. And it´s actually way deeper than I thought it would be because it´s about how people are idolizing their crushes, while their crushes are just normal people too and want to be seen as the person they really are...

I love me some old low budget gay movie

It's exactly how I imagined it (expect I didn't expect THAT dramatic plot-twist), it just feels like a low budget early 2000s LBGT movie and I love it. It's not a BL or even a GL, so don't expect that. It's more of a "slice of life of gay people" (although a dramatic one).

Even though I enjoyed it, there were some plot holes and things that are never really explained (everything happened so quickly) and the ending was a little weird but wholesome at the same time. Still, It was hilarious, but it showed the sad reality of being gay in Korea too. Yes, most of the gay men were stereotypical, but I didn't mind as much, because there weren't shown in a bad light and we didn't laugh at them but at their jokes. Or at the hilarious situations. Anyways, I was hoping that that we would see more of the lesbian couple.

It had potential

In the first 9 episodes this series was addicting. After that, it became a little bit boring and I really lost any interest in Mews and Tops story.I think the last three episodes could been shorten into two or even one. Or they could written a better storyline with Boeing.

First of all, I didn't forgive Top and I don't feel like he actually redeemed himself enough, but maybe it realistic that Mew forgave him anyways. But I still felt really annoyed watching their cute scenes after they became a couple again.

Secondly, the Boeing storyline was really weird. It would have been interesting if he actually had wanted to date Mew, but instead he was a one-dimensional bag guy. Also, It was really unnecessary that he tried to get together with Sand. And why did Sand just accept it? I feel like this should have been resolved better, as it seemed like sand wasn't sure if he should pick Ray over Boieng.


Anyways, I still like Sand and Ray together, even though it was unrealistic that Ray suddenly became a better person and suddenly forgot his trauma. To be fair though it makes sense, as Ray is very impulsive and changes his mind easily, I still feel like him improving this quickly should have backfired.
Another "couple" was Boston and Nick. In my opinion, they were the best written couple, even though they broke up, which was the perfect end for them. Boston couldn't have changed that quickly and he didn't. Also, I liked watching Nick's character development!

Would I recommend watching it? Actually, I would, if you like messy drama. It may not be the best written story, but it sure was entertaining.

Surprisingly disappointing

First, let's start with the good things: I really like how Sun and Ainam were written, they were my favorites. Nanon and Chimon were good actors. And I liked the music.

If you here for the BL, don't bother. While InSuns story was realistic, it just wasn't good. There was something missing. At first it seemed like we would get a enemies-to-lovers, but this gets resolved in 10 min and then they are just friends. Don't get me wrong, I love a good friends-to-lovers, but this isn't it. And wtf was In thinking- I get that he was confused, but come on that was just an asshole move. Eventually it just got boring and the ending was unsatisfying (In didn't even explained ANYTHING). The love triangle was ok, at times I couldn't tell who In really likes and considering who he really liked his actions didn't make sense at times. I didn't ship InSun in the end.

I was here for Nanon and unlike most watchers I didn't hate Oh, he was cute at times but I just couldn't feel bad for him. He didn't annoyed me but I didn't cared about him. And about the bulling: It was realistic because nobody took it seriously or did something to stop it. However, it was handled as a joke so that bothered me a bit.

About Peach: Oh deserves better. Peach is like "My boyfriend is bullying a friend of mine, that's annoying :(((" like it's about her. I don't understand why she didn't leave Copper instantly. (Copper is just your average bully, his whole personality is "I like violence and I have an massive ego") Besides being pretty and annoying Peach doesn't have a personality, especially when compared with Ainam. Is it so hard to write a good female lead...

In conclusion I think that it had potential but it just got worse and worse. If Peach was better written this could be so much better. And what disappointed me the most is that they didn't went through with the enemies-to-lovers with InSun it had so much potential.

It's just nostalgic at this point

I really like AePete and TinCan. Maybe you think that TinCan has too many cliches, but Tin was made as a parody of the typical male protagonist of a K-Drama so I don't really care. And I just love a pairing like TinCan, the dynamic of stupidsunshinexcoldandserious lol. But I think it should be just about this two pairing and not also about all the other pairing, especially because most of them are toxic. Just look at TechnoxKengklas, I read the book and it was painful, poor Techno. It started as a joke but it escalated, from "lol he is stalking him" to "he rapes him". But the Author of LBC (she wrote Tharntype) loves rape and toxic characters and giving this toxic characters a happy end, but I wish the toxic characters would not steal the other couples screen time. All in all, it's very cliche and the story isn't innovate but it's still very enjoyable.

Compared with the original, it's not as good

On it's own, it's a 10/10. But compared with the original it's too different. Jaeyoung and Sangwoo are a lot more realistic and less extreme. While I liked that Jaeyoung isn't as jealous (which was the only thing I don't like in the original), Sangwoo was too emotional (especially the last episode, that all was an very not-Sangwoo thing to do), instead of "cold and logical" he is more "cute". I really missed the original Sangwoo and I find that the chemistry between the characters is very different. I mean the chemistry is amazing here, but it was more exciting in the original(because the original characters aren't so soft and "cute"). In the original the genre of enemies-to-lovers was more apparent and Jaeyoung pranked him wayyy longer. And I really wish that they would have had some inner monologues because their thought are the most interesting part! Especially Sangwoos. And obviously this the "family friendly" version, so the vibe is different, but that's fine if this will attract more new viewers to the BL genre this way. But anyway, I would recommend watching this first and then the original, so you would be able to enjoy this more as I did. And watching this or reading the novel/manhwa is an absolute must!

Winteam for the win

First of all, I still don't understand why they didn't make the time line more evident, like show when this all happened between Intouch and Korn, at least use a filter too show that it was long time ago. And I wish Dean and Pharm would have more dialog and less awkward scenes (where they don't talk and there is just this awkward silence). That's at least how I felt when I watched it for the first time, now that I rewatched it, I find it more cute than awkward. But they just can't compete with the chemistry Bounprem(winteam) have. That said, I would not say that Deanpharms story was boring like some winteam fans say, it was different but still interesting. And I have to mention that I absolutely loved InKorn, they have chemistry. Honestly I liked them more than their incarnations. Also, the storyline was a little bit too slow for me.

Take the worst out of Tharntype and Theory of Love and you get this

So, first of all the only reason I gave it so many stars is because of the characters(the friendgroup) and the comedy. And because it says something against homophobia.
But there were tooo many problematic things, like Ton forcing his friends to get prostitutes and that was never resolved. At the end it got a little bit better, Chon even got a backbone. I have to say that I skipped most TonChon scenes because I didn't care about them, like at all so that's probably why I didn´t hate it too much. The story was meh, the typical "evil ex" story line paired with a worse version of Tharntype and Theory of love. There were plot holes and Tons actions didn't make sense, it wanted you to throw your head against the wall because of his stupidity.
But if you don't take it seriously and just watch it for the funny scenes, then it was a fun watch at times. But just don't. Just don't watch this.
