I discovered this series and I kinda binge watched (I watched 10 episodes on a single day, please DON'T JUDGE ME UwU). I have to admit it's addicting and fun and you can easily get involved into the story and the characters. it's about a certain number of couples and their stories.

Story starts with Pete, a shy and rich student that is hit with a bike by accident by Ae, en engineering student. They have an instant connection, even though Pete knows he is gay but he's not out yet and Ae haven't had any romantic relationship before.

This couple is the main one in the story and you can really be with them in all the moments, when they start liking each other, the problems of acceptance of their feelings and the issue of their families. I think the story is well handed even though it has certain tropy moments and weird scenes but still it's nicely done. But from a certain point, the story lacks conflict and tends to be boring because of this constant sweetness, even the script give space to the other couple that i like the most (I am a fan of this trope) and that is Tin/Can.

Tin/Can starts SO late in the story and I am sad because that could have come up WAY TO EARLIER SO IT COULD HAVE HAD A BETTER TREATMENT. Tin is Pete's friend. He is incredibly rich, handsome and really cold. He think he should be with Pete because they share a similar world. He ignores people and just want to be alone and never let anyone in .. until he almost hit Can with his car. Can is Ae's friend from football team. He is hiperactive, funny and slightly akward guy that dreams of having a lovely girlfriend. When they see each they hate each other and constantly fight mainly because Tin treats Can poorly because he is from a middle class family and Can because Tin is so rude and seems to be disrespecting his friend Ae. Slowly, Tin starts to see that Can is a good and loyal friend and Can sees that Tin is not evil or a horrible person, just don't want to let anyone get to know him. I have to confess I fell for them so hard. Not only because i could see the development of each of them lowering the fists and truly see the other but it's sad we got to that ending... I know the story seems to be a little bit rushed but still they grew so hard on me. And the end of them is SO bitersweet because Tin allowed himself to love someone and show his past and the sadness he feels with his family and Can jus't didn't know what he feels but he knows deep inside he feels something for Tin but he is scared and unsure. I agree with Can telling Tin to be just friends but still broke my heart to see Tin so devastated. I INSIST: with more time and the couple ntroduced earlier, we could have had a nice ending for them :(

Tar/Tum I liked this one but it just didn't have enough time to fully develop and still it has its issues. Tar is studying in France to become a chef and he comes back to Thailand to stay with his mom and his stepbrother Tum for a while (and Tum happens to be in love with Tar). I think their story started with a trope but with more time, it could have been executed better and... because Earth is a TERRIFIC ACTOR and I was really proud of him (LOL)... We barely saw them and JUST handling such a delicate issue like RAPE was not exactly well done. Why make Tum try to kiss Tar without his consent and assault him like that? Really? Was it neccesary? NO. Still they have a great moment at the end with Tar telling the truth to Tum and explaining why he is so traumatized... and Tum accepting everywting and supporting him... still the story had a nice ending.

Kengkla/Tecno I JUST COULDN'T STAND THIS... it just wasn't necessary and was SO WRONG. P'No did not deserve this because what he went throught is RAPE. SImply as that. And Kengla trying to manipulate him is the WORST and I could barely watch this. And the story is unfinshied as well ... it's just a big NO for me.

The music of the series of great but still to loud or akward on certain scenes... The actors are good, stiff at times but overall the chemistry they have is really good. I am so sad that we probably won't have a second season because I really enjoyed this despite its weaknesses and the end is way too open. I just think LBC could have been a better series with just three couples and more screentime for each.

I see myself rewatching it in the future.
