I really enjoyed the first season. It was one of the first BL dramas that I watched and that made me overlook a lot of things that I could not for the second season after watching some truly outstanding dramas. This is a good show. I enjoyed the first season better. The production imo did not get any better as compared to the first season and that was disappointing considering the huge fan base. Both the main actors have improved, especially Captain (I like him even more outside of this role, he's a hottie when he's not a skinhead) which helps to improve a plot that I felt was meh at best. Everything about the second season to me just seemed ok, nothing was glaringly terrible and nothing was amazing.Look I, along with everyone else, have always been rooting for Phun/Noh, but it seemed really hypocritical of Phun to be upset with Aim after he has essentially been cheating on her for a year. I am in no way excusing Aim's behavior. I hated this storyline. I wish that Phun and Noh had been honest with their respective gfs and just avoided the entire thing. I was so frustrated! Every BL drama doesn't have to have loads of fan service, but it's annoying and honestly feels like a slap in the face that Captain and White don't actually kiss. I've seen some believable faked kisses in other lackhorns and I would have much preferred a cheekier allusion than the CLEARLY not kissing "kissing" scenes. The first season was glaringly better in this aspect.
I liked Om/Mick, but their storyline felt so clunky and underdeveloped. The rest of the secondary storylines are forgettable. Do watch this if your were a fan of the first season, but I advise curbing your expectations. I honestly have mixed feelings about season 3. My expectations have been slightly raised after watching ReminderS, but I'm still going in with them lowered.

Really enjoyed the humor in this one especially the Brokeback Mountain cutaway and when Noh gets teased by his club mates about Phun, Ohm tells Noh to not get pregnant, and Noh goes 'of course not, I always remember my cycle' I was snorting! XD
So, that I think was the highlight of the series. It's light and warm and you get involved in the characters lives and their struggles and failures make you grow as they make the characters grow. I just feel like there was no need to stretch it out for 36 full length episodes because then there was a lot of repetitive content and ok let's face it this is something made for guilty pleasure so definitely relies on clichés and tropes but that in itself isn't a bad thing.
The way they did it was pretty good. And I honestly started shipping Win and Per so much! Win did a great job portraying the sadness it broke my heart. And also shipped Ohm and Mic too. And I'm glad Earn came to his senses lol that bathroom scene was adorable.
What I liked about this series is there's no completely hateful female characters or making them unrelatable villains and I like that the constantly tell you to love a person and not their gender. Anyway, Captain is very much my fave! Out of the 9x9 him and Thanapob! I think they're both solid actors and have amazing potential. I hope to see more of these characters and actors! Hopefully the upcoming season will be on the level of 2 Moons 2 and Love By Chance and Reminders.

which is the original version Love Sick S2
Well, it's October of 2021 and I am certainly years behind watching the series; just maybe someone out there will see this. I am watching this series on YouTube and am already quite confused? There are more than one versions, so which is correct? I stated with the one called "cut".......not so sure what that means?. it will run several episodes at a time....like 19 thru 32 and the filming is clear and bold and it reads release 2017?.....then i stumbled on the MCOT production....watched a few episodes and realized there were scenes that were not in the other series.....but the quality of the video is grainy and dated released 2020?.....so what company actually made this series?........sure could use some help........thank you, Richard, American Virgin IslandsWas this review helpful to you?
And then all hell broke loose: with too much concentration around Noh and Phun, which dragged on forever. All of it at the cost of what could have been very fulfilling sidelines... mainly, Pang and Pop, Ohm and Mick, and Win, Per and Mark. These were left hanging never reaching an end.
You will enjoy the first half of the drama very much. After that, it drags on and leaving all sorts of loose ends reaching the most unsatisfactory final episode I have ever seen.
Acting is good. Music is better and rewatch value is an absolutely negative -1. XD.

Toujours plus de sickness
ADDENDUM : J'ai appris par la suite de cette critique que cette série était LE premier BL Thaïlandais, sans lui, aucun autre n'aurait vu le jour. Ce qui explique beaucoup de choses que j'ai trouvées contraignantes et ma critique me paraît, du coup, trop dure.Comme promis dans la critique de la saison 1, je fait la critique de la saison 2.
J'ai eu tout d'abord très peur de ne pas réussir à finir la saison 2 quand j'ai vu le nombre d'épisodes, j'ai cru mourir au vu de l'ennui que m'a procuré la première saison.
On voit tout de suite que l'équipe de réalisation, se disant qu'ils avaient 36 épisodes, se sont dit qu'il serait bien de rajouter plein de personnages à ceux présentés dans la première saison. On aborde du coup l'histoire de plein de couples secondaires, tellement que la tête m'en tourne. Malheureusement, on oublie les premiers comme l'histoire entre Mo, Moan et Golf qui se finit sans vraiment se finir car on entend plus parler d'eux si ce n'est qu'en « sous-texte », ils sont là pour appuyer les actions des leads sinon ils sont absents.
Le rythme est lent à mourir, j'ai passé presque l'entièreté de la saison en vitesse rapide, ce qui m'a au moins permis d'apprendre à lire les sous-titres plus vite qu'avant. Et les flashbacks sont si présents que si on les enlevait, la série conterait moins de 15 épisodes. Ils réussissent à faire des flashbacks du début de l'épisode a la moitié de celui-ci, c'est ahurissant !
Dans le couple NohPhun, l'acteur qui joue Phun a vraiment de quoi être remercié car il porte le jeu d'acteur a bout de bras, littéralement ! Son jeu, ses émotions sont toujours justes tandis que Captain, qui interprète Noh, continue son jeu de mimiques et réactions de rejet tout au long de la saison. Il dit qu'il est lent dans ses sentiments mais là c'est plus possible... Je trouve que son jeu d'acteur est bien gâché car il est très bon dans Great Men Academy.
Bon ma note ne sera pas aussi désastreuse que pour la première saison car j'ai tout de même apprécié certaines choses comme certains thèmes sur l'acceptation de l'homosexualité au sein du cadre familial mais aussi la camaraderie qui lie les membres du club de musique. J'ai aussi aimé les parties où on les voit jouer ou chanter, chose que j'ai oublié de préciser concernant la première partie aussi. Malheureusement ça ne rattrape pas tout et l'ensemble reste bien fade par rapport à d'autres productions que j'ai déjà pu voir.
Maintenant à vous de vous faire votre avis.
