TER APENAS 4 EPISÓDIOS É LOUCURA
Essa é uma história muito complexa para ser desenvolvida em apenas 4 episódios e por isso virou uma bagunça.As atuações não são muito boas e a história é apressada e corrida, definitivamente não funcionou.
Gosto da instabilidade do relacionamento no começo, a dúvida e os erros cometidos pelo Vee fazem sentido porque é necessário para a construção da história, mas esses míseros 4 episódios não deram conta de carregar a a trama.

Melhor arco de "En of love"
De todos os arcos de "En of love" esse foi o que mais gostei. Não há muito o que ser dito. A história é bem fiel à novel, segue o padrão de ambientação universitária (dessa vez entre dois engenheiros) e as demais locações são apenas o bar e os quartos de Vee e Mark. O roteiro foi tão bom que em apenas 4 episódios curtíssimos conseguiram desenvolver a história de forma genial, sem furos, eles foram do Mark sofredor, a confusão que o levou a dormir com Vee, o desenvolvimento da história de Vee e Ploy, o fim, a reconquista e o recomeço do namoro. Existe uma bela fotografia, e a atuação dos protagonistas foi bem superior à dos outros arcos, Yim e War ganharam meu coração e foram aclamados, ainda hoje, com o lançamento da segunda temporada de "Love Mechanics", que apesar de ter sido o segundo arco, foi o único que teve uma segunda temporada, nesse momento (07/2022) são considerados o casal mais quente da Tailândia, desbancando vários ships de muito sucesso, e batendo vários recordes de audiência com a série. Outra coisa muito boa nesse arco foi a ost, que é simplesmente maravilhosa. Na verdade, já revi várias vezes, e revisitei esse hino agora para me deliciar com a segunda temporada, que está sendo divina. Não tem como não recomendar, é 10/10. O único defeito dessa série é que ela acaba.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Im usually a fan of short series and to others, four episodes (er, actually more like three and a half) can be more than enough to tell a full narrative arc. However, this is clearly the show's weakness. There wasnt enough time for real character development and by the end of the series I wasnt really sure if the two leads are actually really inlove. Instead of getting to the point, the show is filled with too many useless fillers. After only 3 episodes they even have the audacity to show us that shi**y recap montage perfect with those rotating blue stars. Wait did i say shI**y? I meant shiny.
This is exactly how i felt when watching the director's "Make it Right" Series. He has a tendency of adding too many scenes and secondary characters that actually do nothing but waste our time.
Its such a shame because for the most part, they got a gem with their two lead cast - War and Yin are almost good and both are very HOT and charming.
Pacing could have been snappier but instead we got a collage of scenes that jump from one to another without letting us digest them. It felt like important details were left out. If only they used their time wiser, we couldve figured things out better. I think the makers forgot that not all viewers are readers of the book.
They intentionally diluted a strong sadistic affair and made it a forgettable tiny puppy love. I have to give them props for twisting and romanticizing an unsolicited sex predatorship and turning it to sunny yet full of rainbows love story. And for adding a girl character just to make her the villain, because yes, this is a BL and all girls are enemies. Yes, im being sarcastic.
Is it a good watch? Yes, if only for the eye candies. Dont put this in your priority though, just watch it when your flight is delayed for two and a half hours and youre stuck in the airport. They missed the opportunity of making this a meaningful watch.
Edit: A full blown series is coming our way soon, and i cant deny Im excited. They may finally be able to give justice to the story.

But the story is quite interesting and cool, I like how it wasn't focused around a guy struggling with his sexuality or any of that drama but rather they knew what they wanted and they kind off went for it straight. Yes, there were moments when I physically cringed but on an overall basis, I liked the show, because they were able to pack everything into 4 episodes and gave it a good finish.
STORY: So when the series kicked off after Vee and Mark slept together, I thought it was going to be a Together with me remake when Vee said his girlfriend cannot find out, but then I like the fact that they didn't make it the stereotypical struggle with being gay or not but rather a struggle with love itself that so many people have. The struggle between a loveless love but love you have grown used to, and new exciting love with all the ups and downs that come with it. I like the fact that they were a bit appropriate for once, not portraying them as backstabbing cheaters, but allowing Vee to "properly" break it off with ploy before appropriately getting with Mark. The only downside to this may be the fact that the big drama was not all that (btw never agree to the last kiss with your ex) and the story was cringe and unnecessary sometimes, like Pack, he literally was just a tool to get Vee and Mark back together
Music: They were superb with this, I actually enjoyed the music
Acting: Acting was good too

3 am review broadcasting in 3...2...1.... i'm going to let it off my chest so i can finally sleep peacefully: vee is a diCKright off the bat, the drama starts with vee being a whole creep and taking advantage of mark. how many more dramas do we have to see with this theme????? why do these BL dramas have this recurring theme where their relationship develops from non consensual shit?? am i mad? yes. am i mad that war and yin are very attractive actors? yes. am i whipped for them? yes. do i like this drama? fuCC NO.
*interlude noises* *vhs sounds thingies* *dog barks*
please do tell me.... what is there in vee that can be seen as a good person??
why is he trying with his whole chest to cry a river and putting the blame on mark when clearly he's the one who's in the wrong??? why act like you're the victim?? mark did nothing wrong.... vee went around in circles, not making himself clear to mark and then kissed his ex gf..... mark was at the scene.... won't you be mad if this happened to you?
after a long time of not seeing each other (i'm not even sure of the goSh darn timeline in this) and this is the first thing you see.... do you think that the other party has the right to be mad at you?
i think what i learned from this drama is that mark is a babie and vee can go suffer in a pit of hot lava and try his best to cry a river there but sadly that river will evaporate idk science but yes
p.s. i want to see war to have more leading roles in the future this boi deserve it

What’s bad? Whole first 5 minutes. You can’t just open a show with sexual assault and borderline rape. Not good. And no, just because the bed scene was not shown, does not mean I didn’t have a problem with it. Vee as a character has literally zero redeeming qualities. Watching him being sad and crying was a delight for my soul.
War did a good job. I quite enjoyed his character, even though he was a mess too. I don’t know... I watched the show because of his pretty face. That’s the tea.

This series gave me such a special feeling that I have long missed in other series
Love Mechanics had the bad luck that it was shot in the middle of the Corona crisis. Therefore, some things remained incomplete. Still, it was one of the best bl-series I've watched. And although the series had so few episodes, it gave me a feeling that much longer series could not do.War in particular is a very good actor who could express so much feeling with his eyes alone.
Everyone made the best of the current situation. I just hope the two actors get their own full series because they deserve it and I want to see more of Mark and Vee.

CAST/ACTING: I think they did a pretty good job on this one. The actors are handsome, carry their roles well, and I like their chemistry.
MUSIC: I liked it how they used it in the episodes, but I didn't like the OST.
REWATCH VALUE: They were cute, so maybe I'll give them a shot after a couple of years, since there are only 4 episodes anywyay.

The story:I´ve read some parts of the novel and it seems like a lot was cut out. The story in itself is quite good except for one specific part. I won´t say which part but for those who have read the novel, I think you know which part i mean. This part of the novel made me hate Vee. However thankfully, this scene wasnt incorporated in the series. Other than that i feel the most redeeming part about the story is how it follows Vee trying to forgive himself for what he did, and gaining forgiviness from Mark. As well as Marks internal struggles with accepting Vee.
Acting and chemistry:
First, the two main actors had amazing chemistry. Although stuff was rushed because they had to fit everything in 4 episodes, I felt like the acting and the chemistry between Vee and Mark really saved the series. I didn´t get the sense of awkwardness as I felt when watching some parts of Tossara.
It seems like both War and Yin genuinely worked hard to understand their character and their emotions, and the acting was therefore very natural. The actors conveyed their emotions not just by talking but also by using their eyes. In some scenes you could tell what Mark was conveying just by looking at his eyes.
Lastly the visuals, both actors look truly good together. They are so cute both off-screen and on-screen.
Directing and production:
I hope if they do decide to go for a full series that they improve the directing and production of the show. Some parts were rushed and you were left confused and wondering about what really happened. Also some parts were lacking in execution and flow. I understand that they had to fit everything in 4 episodes though. Also, I was unsure about a specific part from the novel, if that happened in the series but wasn’t shown, or if what happened in the first scene of the series was consensual? If they go for a full series, they should definitely give a clearer answer and I hope that they somehow remove that part in the new series completely.
Music: I love the OST of this series.
Overall:
Love the show, and I hope I will see both actors in future projects together.

"Love is a temporary madness, it erupts like volcanoes and then subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion, it is not the desire to mate every second minute of the day, it is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every cranny of your body. No, don’t blush, I am telling you some truths. That is just being “in love”, which any fool can do. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident."
