Love Syndrome III: Uncut Version (2023)

A Bittersweet story of Love and Redemption

Before delving into the world of "Love Syndrome," I decided to explore the First Book of the series, which painted a tumultuous picture of their relationship. Hoping for growth and improvement, I jumped into the series, only to find that while there were changes, they fell short of true progress.

The story follows Itt, initially portrayed as a petulant child, whose unreasonable demands lead to an accident resulting in Day’s partial amnesia. Day, his boyfriend, fails to recognize Itt and reverts to his hateful demeanor, favoring only his younger brother. Undeterred, Itt remains by Day's side, determined to jog his memory and rebuild their past. Flashbacks offer glimpses into their shared history, while an antagonist from their past threatens to destroy them both.

One of the main grievances lies in Itt's failure to learn and mature after the tragic events. Instead, he regresses, becoming a victim of circumstance and suffering from panic attacks. However, there are glimmers of growth as Itt learns to care for Day without becoming overly emotional when faced with rejection. Conversely, the relationship between Day's brother, Night, and Itt's friend, Gear, blossoms into something more wholesome.

The series also suffers from repetitive plots, where Itt repeatedly runs away from Day, only to meet someone new who falls for him, only for Day to reclaim his dominance. This cycle becomes predictable and lacks depth. Moreover, the character development of Itt feels stagnant and one-dimensional, leaving him bland as a protagonist. Day's temperament fluctuates between caretaker and temperamental, leaving the audience yearning for consistency and growth.

However, amidst these shortcomings, Lee and Frank deliver commendable performances, breathing life into their characters. Their talent and dedication shine through, despite the limitations of the script. Additionally, the music score, especially the opening track, adds a layer of enjoyment to the viewing experience.

In conclusion, this series may not live up to all expectations, and my personal disappointment may taint my perception. Yet, it remains watchable, primarily due to the captivating performances of the lead actors. Give it a chance, but with tempered expectations, and appreciate the glimpses of talent within the series.

Wish I could give it a lower score

This is one series that left me conflicted.
On one side, the acting was pretty decent (especially for a bl series) the story line was good and I liked the design of the characters, but on the other hand the characters do such f***d up s**t that by the end of it i didn't want them to have a happy ending, I wanted them to go to jail.
It's why I gave the rewatch value such a low rating, I cannot be objective about it and I wouldn't put myself through this again.
I guess my advice would be watch at your own discretion. If you know/think that scenes and themes depicting sexual violence abuse, grooming, rape and coercion will trigger you or make it unwatchable maybe skip this one.

A not good but, DEFINETLY, not boring "fanfiction"!

When I started watching Love Syndrome, I knew what I was getting. So I didn't set up high expectations and this is what made me like it in a questionable way.

The couple in the beginning is really weird, with Itt being annoying as hell and we felling pity for Day having to deal with someone like him. But as the drama goes we see that both of them are really toxic, so basically they are perfect to each other. The one thing that I really hate on this drama, is the banalization sexual assault. Most of the couples go through this on events prior the beginning of the story, and they happen to work through it and still love each other, which I actually don't think was needed for the plot.

Love Syndrome doesn't have a really good story, but it's not boring and tedious, it feels like one of those fanfics that was written by a teenager, it's not a masterpiece but is really entertaining. Something is always happening and nothing feels like a filler, all adds to the main storyline that is Day's memory loss and Itt trying to get his old Day back while dealing with his aggressive behavior.

The cast is nice and they did a good job. However there were some moments of their acting that threw me a little bit off (mostly Frank), but it was not that serious and it didn't make me have less fun watching it. But in the other side, there were really nice moments fulfilled with emotions.

I didn't watch it the original, just this uncut version, and I feel it's worth the try. But be mindful about the content of it. You are not going watch something cute, romantic and light-hearted. This one is REALLY toxic, and I got a little bit addicted.

Chaotic storyline

Let's begin. 😅 uhh this was a complicated one. Like it had no back story i mean it had but damn it was complicated.

So the story starts with some fluffy scenes which i totally enjoined but soon becomes a mess. Itt is do damn clingy so clingy that makes me want to punch him in the throat so that he stops whining for a second. Poor Day has to put up with him like 24/7 and it makes me want to scratch my face. I know Day said he want's Itt to be dependent on him but bitch this is a whole nother lever of addiction.

The story had potential but it was poorly executed,the flashbacks were ok but somehow not enough or to much to many side characters and to many side lovers both of them equally jealous with zero to none chemistry between the leads.

It's a drama that makes you hope that it will get better but unfortunately not. 😅

A lot to unpack!

This show was problematic, over the top, and toxic, but damn was it entertaining!

I personally enjoyed the show and how dramatic it was despite the realistically problematic nature. My only actual complaint is...

THE FLASHBACKS

GOOD GOD!

This show could've easily been 2 episodes shorter if they cut out all these unnecessary flashbacks!! That's what kept me from being able to give this an 8 star. Unless it was Day regaining his past memories, we didn't need a flashback, and we didn't need to see it more than once either! The show was constantly replaying scenes we already saw as well as flashbacks, multiple times, sometimes more than 2 to 3x. It was so absurd and unnecessary.

I loved Night and Nick's side relationships with their partners. They were a very enjoyable part of the cast. Mac's was very confusing to me, like was he a hostage or what?? 😭

Anyway, if you like absurd shows and don't mind problematic content then you may enjoy this crazy gem!

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF TOXIC LOVE

Okay I know that some of the viewers will say 'STOP ROMANTICIZING RAPE', this story is not about they romanticizing rape. It is about a toxic love where it started with rape and soon they overcome their own trauma and ended up in love with each other and during their 3 years love, even the smallest little thing could lead into a huge argument yet they couldn't help but to be with each other.

Day is toxic because he groom Itt to be hopeless and not sure what to do in life without Day's help and Itt is toxic because of how stupid he could get because of a cake and he is really stubborn. Both of them have their own toxic trait and yes, there is a huge character development throughout the series. Though, I need to complain that WHY THE FUCK IS FRANK WEARING A WIG????????? Like i really cannot unsee it. My god.

But honestly, I am a skipper but this series makes me watch from the start until the end and IT IS A GOOD SERIES. The plot is not the problem here but I think Frank's acting is a little bit stiff and he need slight improvement in it but DARLING..... LONG'S ACTING IS DAYMMMMMMMMMNNNNN. I AM NOT SURE WHY I HATE HIM PREVIOUSLY??????? He is so cool and charming!! Like damn i could watch his fighting scene for hours and I will still fall for him. DAMN LIKE OH GOD HE IS SO COOL I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING. His acting alone could make me watch this series all over again.

Frank's acting is.. hm... very doubtful. He seems to be stiff in certain part and his eyes looks empty, not enough emotion. Though, he is doing alright for this heavy series, I wish he could just give more commitment in this. And also I think its because of Itt's character that could become one of the challenge.

Now please excuse me while I go stalk Long's IG and the previous drama he acted in. LOL.


PLEASE DONT WATCH IT IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR SOME HEAVY TOXIC SERIES cause I am tired of people complaining about this series.

Favorite Series

I enjoyed this series very much, great story about revenge, forgiveness, finding happiness, and dealing with hard times, It has many layers to the story. It's not for everyone, but I did love it overall, especially the ending wedding. It is a sister series to Forgotten Nights, which I also loved, but once again it's not for everyone since we all have different tastes. It's sad people truly do not understand the story or characters. I would recommend and rewatch as all the couples are beautiful and all deal with different issues and grow over the episodes, you have to understand this is part of a 3 storyline series. I do look forward to the next chapter. The characters and acting were good and they all had chemistry. It was nice to see that they should have different levels of personality and couples coming together. Showing us the different types of coupling that happen. It surprises me that a few are being haters for this series when clearly they don't get the whole overall storyline, but I would hope people see what is really there and how real this can be for the true value. I give it 10 for showing a great story and actors.

wife beater shirts and wife beaters

Get it, because Day wears a wife beater and beats his wife? Meh. Haven't we been here before? Yes, yes, we have. This is my second time watching this show fully through; this time it was the uncut version and the one that wasn't on Daily Motion. It got the same rating as the other one, lol. Which wasn't planned at all. This is going to be a little different from the other one, I swear. I won't go by couple, and I am just going to go based on my love syndome highlights from my close friends, lol. There were a lot of scenes I missed from watching it on Daily Motion, and a lot of stuff was in a very different order, so I was a little confused starting off, but a good little confused. Okay, I am checking the close friend's story now.

On July 12th, I caved and paid for WE TV so I could watch Love Syndrome 3 uncut. Day and Itt are just as abusive; it's just way more clear and less blurry because it's not on daily motion. Itt didn't let Day walk all over him, and he could actually fight him off, but he just didn't, and I still don't know why. Night and Gear just stand awkwardly as these two get into their nasty ass fights. They like to argue, just enjoy shouting, and want to see who can shout louder than the other. That's their whole dynamic starting off. Shouting competitions that Day usually wins, he sometimes caves and lets his man win, but he usually wins. Then Day smiled when he wanted Itt to rely on him and only want him. God, that was shity. Long played his role a little too well on some parts, which actually had me a little concerned lol.

The flashbacks were different than they were on daily motion; they were so much cuter and just over all sweeter. Then Nil and Nik, or whatever their names are, were being so cute, and the nicknames they had were also just as cute as them, green flag couple, we love them so much.

Day continues to be an absolute dick, and he was actually getting on my last nerve in this. They did my boys, Kim and Kamol, so wrong, bro. They had Kamol out here looking like Luca Kaneshiro, bro. If you know, you know. If you don't, just look it up. Then Day starts to gain his memory back, because stuff is just habit at that point, because it was so ingrained in his head. He remembers it but doesn't know he remembers it. Which was interesting to see.

Then Mac and Nan and their shit. Mac. I actually forgot that he sexually assaulted itt, and that's what started him and Nan's whole shitass relationship. Damn. I was talking about how I don't feel bad for him and saying that he deserves it. The way Mac was looking at Nan, bro, that's why he won't let you go. Stockholm syndrome vibes, fight the power, stop looking so in love.

"Personally, I'm not letting someone in with a wife beater, dunks, and a flannel beat me." That was my quote, and I stand by it to this day. Day starts to actually feel bad, and him hurting himself for hurting itt and also not remembering anything was his character development, lol. Then I make a joke about how Day thought the wall was his boyfriend because of the way he was beating it. That was a little too far, lol. Day continues to change for the better until he tries to drown Gear in episode 7. Then he starts to go backwards again. I would say he was just doing it to get an answer out of him, but he was actually trying to kill him. It wasn't even funny. He doesn't feel bad at all. Not one bit. Meanwhile, itt is collecting people like they collect Pokemon in that pond thing.

Nik and Neil were being cute with the reading and translating; that was so damn adorable, I couldn't Everyone starts to realize that the day is the same as the old day, besides itt. Day is the same guy who filmed that video; he hasn't changed one bit. Now that he loves itt, that doesn't mean he isn't the exact same as he was that day (get it).

That rando ass story near the waterfall gave me nightmares when I first heard it. It was so randomly placed, but I was so into the show that it gave me nightmares when I first watched it in the cut version. Day starts changing for the better, and he starts caring more again, sort of.

Then we get the crazy-ass flashback with the video and all of that. If I were day and I found that video, I would have deleted it and just gone on with my day (get it) and not told itt or anything if they brought it up. I would pretend to be surprised and then just say I still loved him, and if they didn't bring it back up, I would have taken that video to the grave with me.

And that's really it. stuff made more sense, but they are still just as abusive as they were in the cut version. Yeah, okay, I'm done with love syndrome for a while now. Okay bye!

Prolonged series

A longer series compare with the first released. At first I was really look forward it may contain more detailed scenery and more intimate scene for sure. The detailed scene was added but for me, this series can be more concise. The series contain a lot of recall scenes that to explained what they have happenned before. But these scene was keep repeating and with the same slow pace. I think the audience that missed some episode can be easily understand too. Too drag on. Actually it can be recall with a shorter clip or more briefly. The durations left can be added with more story. But it failed. The overloaded of Itt's childish and useless scenes make the audience frust. He is troublesome, too weak for the fight and too easily to get injured. The scripter is too kind for him in every fight scenes. He always hurt badly in every fight but still get the last kicks to deal with the baddie amazingly.
As for the acting by the cast is quite speechless and disappointed for sure. The 3.5 scores is given to encourage Long(Day) and Non(Mac) and some guest role only. The acting for Frank(Itt) is really let down. He has joined the showbiz quite long ago. But the acting seems still awkward. The interpretation of the peevish and whining is way too over. Too exaggerated. As for the softness of a 'girlfriend' character is too pretended. Too pretend to being gentle to Day. I knew nthat this is not his first 'gf' role, but why didn't get much improvement. And the posture when he walking or standing in the series, didn't have a clue was it being study before portrayed. Don't slouch please! It's really wasted for your good musculine figure. You know you look good if you walk confidently. I really not an anti-fan for Frank. But really curious what he actually learned these year in acting. Even the P'Bella is more vivid in role than him. Hope he can put more effort in improving his acting skills. Look forward for the improvement in his upcoming series, otherwise will really let down the character and moreover a chance to play the main character.
Long's acting is quite good! He mastered the fighting scenes. The action and face expression in the fighting scene was cool! I really love his domineering charisma when he hugged Itt. His face makes me remind of Maxiiin.
Non(Mac) in the series is quite suprising. He didn't get much scene in the series but he played most of it well. I enjoyed the love and hatred between he and Nan. There're chemistry among them. They deserve a series in my opinion. Especially the softness and the virility of a 'gf' in gay couple, he get 8.5/10 in me. The eyes contact of him in the last episode when he returning back to Nan and agrees with Nan's courting, I can feel the love and missing towards Nan although just a seconds. Well done for him.
As for the character for Night, too weak to defend Gear from his Brother's attacks. All fights begin with firm attitudes but end up begging with tears. Quite funny and sympathy with him. As for Gear, Neil and Nan is quite dashing. I most enjoyed in P'Bella scenes. Funny and good taste in costume. The best scene is when she tried to pacify Itt when he had a fight with Day in the market. The calmness and knowledgeable founded in the scene.
Overall it deserve to watch if you love or watched Unforgotten Night before.

Have I whatched a different drama?

I am honestly doubting myself right now.

I've just finished watching the third episode and decided to drop it because I didn't find at all what I was expecting based on tags and reviews.
I love toxic, violent, and really messed-up relationships, and that's the reason why I started it, but I don't think this can be described as such.

The characters are just childish, and the acting is completely unrealistic. Even the scenes where the situations could have been a bit more toxic and dramatic are ruined by the terrible script and acting (even the mafia boss isn't threatening at all).

The quality of the production is really poor. Based on the summary, it could have been an amazing product, but sadly, it is not.
I'll give reading the novel a try, hoping it's better.

Um BL que tinha muito potencia - apesar da masculinidade tóxica óbvia hahaha

Olha se não é a toxidade batendo na sua porta? Foi uma grande surpresa que Love Syndrome seria assim? Não, pois já era dito desde os primordios que era esse tipo de serie e como grande fã blzeira abracei a causa e decidi ver sem julgamentos.
*Já aviso que não sera uma resenha curta, mas será produtiva!*

Bom, o que eu acho da série: Acredito que espectativas são criadas ao ver o trailer de um conteúdo - muitas vezes precisamos manter nossos pés no chão - e isso é ótimo, pois nos instiga a assistir. Porém Love Syndrome além de não suprir as espectativas que nutriu no trailer, conseguiu me deixar facilmente entediada.
Em todo o desenvolvimento posso dizer que me mantive interressada apenas até o episódio 7 e acho que poderia ter acabado antes de 12 episódios arrastados e sem conteúdo.
Basicamente, aqui vemos um enredo um tanto clichê, mas com grande potencial, mas explorado de forma muito superficial e um tanto caótica. Nem sei como organizar meus pensamentos sobre tudo que assistir sem me confundir toda.

Algumas coisas que me incomodaram no geral:
Musica principal chata e repetitiva, trama violenta que é violenta apenas por ser, sequestros simplesmente jogados no roteiro, inconsistencia de humor pior que a de um esquizofrenico - sem querer ser capacitismo - abuso de cenas flashback, quimica entre os atores disperdiçada com coreografias de cena desengonçadas , brigas e ciumes sem sentido e exagerados que surgem DO NADAAA e alguns outros pontos.
Resumindo, no meu ponto de vista Love Syndrome poderia ter explorado a falta de memória do Day e a volta de seu temperamento antigo para melhorar a toxidade que o próprio Itt tem para com o namorado - mesmo que seja propositalmente permitido a ser tóxico por Day -, assim amadurecendo o personagem mimadinho e ao mesmo tempo trabalhando a volta de lembranças do Day. Conectando ai os flashbacks do porque ele se apaixonou pelo Itt e porque mudou tanto de sua personalidade por ele.
A parte que foi um pouco melhor encaixada foi o lance com o Night. A vingança do Day etc. O fato dele perder a memoria e só descobrir depois o que o Gear e o Itt tinham feito com o irmão é bem climatico, pois é facilmente escondido de propósito pelo namorado.
Por isso que eu digo que com uma linha do tempo solida e uma história mais bem explorada ou pelo menos pensada direito, essa séria subiria umas 3 estrelas para mim.

Até porque tenho que confessar, nem eu entendo porque o Day mudou pelo Itt. O menino é mais infantil que a minha afilhada de 7 anos e ainda não tem minimo de carisma - apesar do ator tentar com sua boa atuação, extrair algo desse personagem.

Para finalizar, o final. Quem é esse Pete NA FILA DO PÃO? Porque ele foi introduzido tão de repente e em um contexto tão desajustado? Para acrescentar tempo, história ou foi só para ter um conflito final? Eu não sei, mas achei MUITO forçado. Todo lance da máfia... CHATO e só está presnete para dar um arzinho de maldade perigosa do tipo "Eu sou fodão e sei bater nos outros" Fala sério, o Day derrubou um cara enorme e não conseguiu lutar conta o Pete? O PETE? Isso nem é crivel, pelo amor de Deus. A ceninha dramatica com Pete no ep 11 afffffffff
Day sofre de novo, mas dessa vez lembra de tudo. Tão previsivel, mas gostei da brincadeirinha que fizeram nessa cena. Me deixou com vontade de bater em alguma coisa hahaha

OBS: Em contra partida amo o relacionamento problematico do Nan e do Mac. É isso senhoras e senhores, me julguem! hehehe Só que achei o final deles meio largado e robótico, mas pelo menos teve um desfecho.
Como sempre os casais secundários tem mais química que o principal.
