Love Sick: The Series (2014)

Tbh, this bl series is my taste. I really really enjoyed this series so much. I could say the story is so simple and has slow plot. Most realistic thai bl series so far. Usually i dropped or almost giving up for watch when it entered the episode <10, because most of other bl series have the good story in the beggining and somehow bored at the last episodes. I tell ya, been watching TGWM, MIR and Love By a Chance. I think this one (Love Sick) has the best plot, the background music very well fitted with the scene and the story of the rest beside the main leads was interesting. I can say this is ordinary yet fascinate.

What i really like : has deep impression, maybe the plot? I'm not bored to watch this.

What i don't like : The shoot of camera sometimes went trembles. But i think that's okay.

P.S: Well actually it's tight with MIR and each has advantages in different aspects. MIR i liked their comedy jokes and this one i liked the storyline! So i give same point as MIR! Let's see season 2!

high school love!

LOVE SICK was first introduced to me as one of the most recommended thai bl drama that should watch while watching some bl dramas in you tube. i was first hesitant to watched this drama because of the 1st episode, i was like this is the story of straight couple, and i really don't want to watched a bl drama with straight couples in it because they will make the story more complicated, it just that i want another male to be the antagonist in the story (hehehe), but when i watched REMINDERS (whose the main couple of the LOVE SICK was also included in the story) i was eagerly to watched it again, because they were still together on the series! i was like they were 6 - 7 years in the relationship already! (according to the time frame of LOVE SICK and REMINDERS that was being released.) and i was also familiar with the main couple (White and Captain) and i love those two actors, the way they act in the series.

story:
this is not your typical high school story love, this is a kind of love that has many things to consider. i like how they manage to grow their love from one another (the main couple). they give me butterflies in the stomach whenever i watched it! even though it is just skinship.

acting/casting:
yup! they were good at it, they handle the role really well, they were look matured in their role even though they were just teenagers at that time with no experience in acting at all (based on ep12)

music:
i love the music! it gives me chills of being inlove in high school! i will not get tired of playing it all over again.

Rewatched and Over all Value:
yup! i give it a 10! i really love watching this series, i love all of it! you will not hesitant to rewatched it! a light bl drama in a high school community! you will feel loved all over again!

AHHH, OKAY THAT'S FINE......

For this series, I kinda find it quite interesting. I have watched the trailer and I was 'ah, okay let's get i to it' and now I watched the whole s1, I gotta say that I enjoyed it slightly. For me this first season is just the point where I found myself lingering for interesting parts of the story. White and Captain are a cute couple and they are the only one who did a little spark in this series. For me, this is a fine series but is it rewatchable? No, not necessarily. There were so many characters that I was hardly recognizing. The acting were a raw and it feels like this series became a documentary type of acting which is, okay, fine for me. There were no more anything special about this series. I enjoyed the S2 than I did this season. I kinda wish that both Phun and Noh ended their relationships with their gfs.

Great show...but only for the main leads

So I am only halfway through this show but I wanted to discuss some thoughts, especially those which will help people decide if they want to watch it.

Let's get the bad things out the way first. I might have written a lot about the negatives, but trust me, the good heavily outweighs the bad.

My main point is the fact that I am only watching for the main leads. There are around 3 or 4 side couples with their own storyline, which they do get quite a bit of screentime and attention each, but I don't seem to care too much about them. And that's simply because they aren't connected to the main plot of the story.

The primary couple I will talk about is Kom and Jeed. Kom is a member of the swim team and his first attempt at flirting was with a new girl from the neighbouring school - and from there we watch their relationship grow. We get introduced to these 2 characters separately, before they meet, however after that, the only time they show up is in their couple scenes. Neither No nor Phun is in the swim team, so we never see him with the main leads. And because this show is set in an all-boys school, we don't see Jeed other than these scenes too.
This is the same for all of the couples. Yes, some of the guys are No's friends, but we never see them hang out. Honestly, I don't even recognise these characters or know their names simply because they aren't seen often enough.
Because of this, these couples feel irrelevant and disconnected from the story. The scenes aren't bad and they're definitely not bad couples, but you don't feel a connection to them. I could easily skip their scenes as they add nothing to the story.

Obviously, since I've not finished the show yet, this might change and the couples might become significant. But for now, they drag the plot and bore me.

The second negative is Phun's little sister. I hate her with all my being. She is one of those toxic BL fans who idolise gay men and put them on a pedestal. The whole reason Phun has to ask out No in the first place is that his sister won't help him unless he has a boyfriend. If that isn't toxic behaviour, I don't know what is. She is quite literally sexualising and fetishising her own brother and I find it so uncomfortable to watch.
Pang and her friends also ship 2 boys in their drama class. This is because they acted as a couple in 1 play...PLAY...and these girls think they're a couple. Sure, they do act like it, but that does not give them the excuse to fangirl in front of them like they are celebrities.
The only good thing about this is the cinematography. In the scene is just described (episode 5), we see these 2 boys through the eyes of Pang. The screen develops a pink hue and the harsh colour decrease. I don't know the proper names for this stuff but basically everything looks fluffy and magical, with romantic music in the background. It's a great way to visualise her thought process and how she literally sees them as TV characters.

Anyway. The good parts!

As I said, I'm mostly watching for Phun and No because their storyline is the most interesting and most developed. I love their story so far. It is a great example of the 'friends to lovers' trope. Their story is a little different as the idea of being lovers was apparent straight away, with Phun asking No out in the first episode and the two having to act like a couple, despite only just meeting, one episode later. Their friendship blossoms and eventually so does their love. It's a gradual but apparent change and the viewer can watch it happen in 'real time'.
My favourite part is, again, the cinematography. There are moments where the audio cuts out to play the OST, and a montage plays. Usually, the montage is just one task - i.e. washing No's motorbike and playing videogames - but it gives the illusion of catching the couple in a moment of intimacy, something we shouldn't be watching. Of course, it's nothing sexual, it's literally just the boys throwing soap at each other. But the moment feels private, that we feel like we are on this romantic journey with them. It's a really unique feeling and makes for some incredible scenes.

Overall, this show is great for fluffy romance and is really sweet and light to watch. I highly recommend it.
