Why Does Everyone Become Gay?

First off, I can see why Theory of Love gets hate. It's unrealistic. All these straight people turning gay. I cannot! First Khai and then, Two. What?! Anyways, I finally get to see the highly raved OffGun pairing in action. They do have good chemistry though I felt that their chemistry isn't anything special. KristSingto & BrightWin had more in my opinion. Anyways, the series started off really strong but quickly runs out of steam and becomes aimless. There's only so much you can do with a protagonists who longs for his straight best friend who does not reciprocate his feelings. So, he cries so much. Like literally. Every episode, Third mopes and cries because of Khai, whether that be Khai having a girlfriend or talking to a girl, etc. How can someone cry this much? It's gets kinda annoying to be honest, especially when set to cheesy, sad pop music. But when Third pulls away and doesn't hang out with Khai anymore, Khai, the straight best friend realizes that he has feelings for his gay best friend and makes an effort to win him back. This is when the story starts to get interesting again and you get invested though the interest kinda fizzles out towards the end. The story is pretty predictable and unrealistic. Yes, it is fiction, but this show seems to aim for realism, unlike say like 2gether that is intentionally over-the-top. It's kinda risky making actual gay people believe that their straight friends will fall for them. I hope that no one will actually believe this. This seems to be the reason why some people don't like this show; because it's unrealistic. There's also some questionable plot points and character actions that don't make sense.

The performances were good. Gun gave probably the best performance in the series though I felt that he was over-acting at times. And The fact that the characters are film students is pretty cool as I've always wanted to go to film school and become a film director. It's cool seeing the BTS of making a film from a student perspective.
