Unrequited Love

I'm a sucker for unrequited love themes. Just finished the whole thing hours ago.

I love how they showed Third's journey, his emotions going up and down. Hoping and then becoming disappointed to finally giving up. It was well paced for me and not rushed. This actor portrayed this part very well. I wasn't really thrilled with how rushed they made Khai realize his feelings for Third. This actor is excellent in his portrayal of being a douche. The sweet fluff moments are lacking for me too. Even after they have cemented their love. But the last confession was on point (and that, I stan!).

Same with the second couple, Un and Two. Their overall love story wasn't well paced in my opinion. Chemistry between the actors aren't really spot on. I want a little bit more of Two's journey of "bending" but I did love and was amused that he got "bent".

For Bone.. oh Bone.. my gentleman.. #JusticeForBone.. almost shed a tear for this angel.

The epilogue was a bit cringey for me. The worst scene for me was the accident but this was me being critical to any medical-related thing.

Actors are okay. Soundtrack forgettable. I recommend with an "okay, so-so" sign.

Mixed up feelings

Well, this is my favorite BL but that doesn't mean it was perfect.
Theory of Love wasn't a bad drama in my opinion, but now that it has been a long time since I've finished it, I remember a lot of things that weren't good at all. I will not only talk about the bad things tho, I will stand out what I hated the most and my favorite things.
First of all, Third was way too dramatic, always crying under the shower, I now find those scenes to be really funny because I really can't take them serious since they didn't look credible at all. One of the things that I loved the most about this show was the boys's friendship, even if it was damaged in so many moments, they were always there for each other and I find it very endearing. I'm very happy with the ending and I loved the whole film concept. And last thing was Kai's development, wow, that is something everyone has to watch !

One part of me likes it while the other one is over it.

From the start I'm going to say that the story was aggravating to watch, but at the same time I wouldn't consider this to be a bad drama at all. There's always two sides to every coin and even though some things drove me crazy, there were others that I enjoyed watching.

Let's start with my favorite part: the pacing. Most dramas I've seen usually start slow and suddenly turn fast towards the end giving the impression that they are trying to rush through the story skipping some important development. However, TOL was the complete opposite of that, and I loved this so much! The story started fast paced, but gradually began slowing down to focus on each couple individually and giving time for the audience to grow empathy by watching the struggles they were facing. This is EXACTLY what I look for in a drama! I enjoyed being able to slowly go through the characters' struggles and how they found a way to learn and move forward. Most other dramas give you a problem and pretty much solve it in one or two episodes, but TOL gave time for those problems to sink in a show the severity of the situation.

The editing on this drama, though... I'll just say... it left me with A LOT to wish for. It's just too amateur.

The soundtrack was pretty excellent too, if you ask me. I'm a soundtrack geek and the music is one of the things I look forward to the most when I watch a movie, anime, or any TV series. TOL's did not disappoint me at all (compared to many others tbh). The composer focused on ambient music with a kick of melancholy that fit very well with the mood of the episodes. It wasn't a soundtrack that felt generic at all, but more of an intimate style exclusively made for this show.

The acting in this series wasn't that bad, but it was not the best I've seen either. I felt like some actors were lacking some emotions in their voices, but nothing cringey, fortunately. I'll talk about each couple below:

Khai and Third: This was actually a very uniquely written couple. I have not seen a lot of dramas and this is the first couple with such toxic relationship. Quite a different toxicity than the Tharn and Type couple. This is probably the most aggravating part of the show because if I were Third I would've cut off this friendship so quickly, but well... it's a drama after all, can't complain much. I did like Off a lot more than Gun, though. I felt like he was a little more expressive than Gun. I just finished watching "I'm Tee, Me Too" and I noticed that Gun is lacking a lot of facial emotions to the point that his characters look dead inside. By the way, am I the only one who thinks Off's acting resembles a lot to Captain's (Love Sick)? So many mannerisms reminded me of him.

Two and Un: Honestly, this casting was terrible. Not because they are bad actors or anything, but because they don't look good together as a couple. I was constantly hoping that Two could end up with the girl instead and got really disappointed when it didn't happen. Shame.

Bone and Paan: As a gay man, I am happy to see straight couples being represented in BL. Why? Because it shows that we are accepting of them and call for the same treatment from non-BL series. I think both actors did very well, if not the best from the three "couples."

One thing that did bother me about the story is that they left Khai's major character development for the final episode. With how long the episodes were, it would have been more preferable if he had taken at least two episodes to go through his development. This is just me being picky for a good reason.

All in all, this is a good drama that deviates from the usual lighthearted stories most people would be probably used to. If you like some tragedies, then this is a drama for you.

I have watched episode 1 without English subtitles, so I focused more on the acting and appreciation of the players.
for the story line itself, see from the trailer that has been aired and what Chimon once said because playing role here is OffGun it looks like it's really their own story, like real. and I can only hope that happy ending is at the end of this Theory of Love story.
for the acting of the players, I was truly fascinated by a Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat, I can't explain in detail because I don't know how to describe my feelings now.
For the original soundtrack, don't ask, we're all here for that, I'm really in love.
and it's still a long way to go for Theory of Love, I really can't wait for the days to pass so weekend will come quickly ????❤

Note: I will write my review in Taglish (combination of Tagalog and English languages).

First, I would like to commend the featured casts. Whether they play major or minor characters, they gave justice to their roles. I admire the two main casts. They have the chemistry, with a blend of happiness and melancholy along the story. It somehow shows a realistic image of coming-out narratives where the closeted gay friend confessed love to his best friend.

Though, I agreed with one commentator who noticed the unrealistic tendency of the genre highlighting the stereotypes among the homosexual male. Honestly, I criticize the genre as too heavily cliche and corny. I know that the story in itself is fiction, but to write a male-to-male romance, it has to be realistic with or without the involvement of explicit scenes. I am well acquainted with the definition of B.L. genre as I have done my research on it. Again, I learnt that commonly who writes BL-oriented are women for female fans. To the women authors, please make sure you have read scholarly books or published research about Gender and Sexuality or the LGBTQIA+ community. As writers, your duty is not exclusively within the realm of writing, but you need to broaden your knowledge on the matter. This is to avoid prejudice.

Second, the acting is superb. Gun has been in the showbiz industry since he was young. I was blown away when I learnt that on Google. After all, it is no surprising he is a great actor of his generation. I love his acting as well in other series such as The Gifted.

Third, trust me when I say it is a must-see drama. You can try, but I tell you can never go back, for it makes you want to watch or even finish the whole series in just one week straight! Highly recommended.

Fourth, sa mga Pilipino diyan na baguhan sa genre, ito na ang unahin niyong panuorin. Pramis, walang halong pagsisisi ang mararamdaman. Pasasalamatan mo pa ang series dahil maraming lessons that you can learn and apply to in (love) life.

Officialy, my favourite bl thai series. Well-written, like I said bener-bener tersentuh sama plot storynya uniquely. Beda nanget dari semua thai series yang aku tonton kebanyakan romansa-nya tidak rapih. Ini series bener-bener series yang looks like bl sebenarnya.

Gue sebagai orang yang suka banget sama film jadi terinspirasi banget dari setiap karakter mereka masing-masing. Like, Third yang jago nulis script and sutradara. Khai sound editor. Bone video editor and Two cameraman + DOP.

Well, dari series ini gak cuman dari romance-nya saja, aku dapat banyak tips jadi anak film yang baik dan bener. Emang kisah cinta anak film itu sangat menarik.

Wajib di tonton

Dari alur cerita nya saya sangat menyukai nya, dari mulai third yang mengejar cinta nya khai sampai akhirnya khai dapat membalas cinta dari third. Yang membuat saya tertarik lagi dengan drama ini yaitu kisah cinta An dan two. Saya berharap mereka bisa pacaran. Akting dari para pemeran nya pun sangat natural, sehingga cerita nya dapat tersampaikan dengan baik. Musik nya juga pas dengan adegan adegan nya, tidak berlebihan dan enak didengar walaupun saya tidak paham bahasanya. Maka dari itu saya memberikan 9.5 saya berharap episode nya di tambah atau ada season 2 nya. Saya selalu menunggu setiap episode nya. Berharap di episode terakhir itu benar-benar happy ending. Terima kasih ???? I love it

Uma história sobre amor e amizade que vai deixar saudades

O que falar desse BL? Eu tenho um super preconceitos com os bls da GMMTV, então fui assistir logo com um pé atrás, mas já no início a série me conquistou. Me identifiquei muito com a temática de cinema, por ser bem entusiasta quando mais jovem, adorei as inúmeras referências, especialmente a cena paródia de 10 coisas que odeio sobre você. Achei a série muito bem produzida, tinha ótimas OSTs, boa fotografia, as atuações também foram bem acima da média pro padrão Tailândia. Mas o que mais me cativou nessa série foi a dinâmica da amizade dos quatro personagens principais, raramente em um BL se vê uma amizade tão bem desenvolvida e bem trabalhada, especialmente o Two foi meu personagem favorito, sou suspeita pra falar porque Love Sick foi meu primeiro BL, então tenho um certo carinho pelo White desde lá, mas nesse papel ele estava muito bom, me apeguei muito ao jeito fofo do Two e confesso que queria ter visto mais do casal UnTwo. Além disso gostei de não terem forçado o Un em cima do Third, como eu pensei que fosse acontecer, também gostei do Khai no início realmente ser um escroto, mas depois sofrer e evoluir. Enfim, uma história bem feita, uma amizade bonita, personagens principais cativantes, a série não perde a mão com um humor sem graça, como em outras produções da GMM, pode ter um defeito aqui ou acolá, mas no geral tudo é feito na medida certa e me agradou bastante, vai me deixar muitas saudades.

Achei finalmente o que estava procurando!

Bom por onde eu começo a falar sobre a minha experiência com Theory Of Love que por sinal foi fantástica!

Vou começar falando sobre como eu me envolvi com ele logo de cara. Eu estava assistindo um outro Bl o qual estava totalmente viciada, mas quando chegou perto do final (No penúltimo ep) eu decidi dar um tempo nele para nn ficar sem nada para ver e tbm para nn ficar mt triste por ter acabado tão rápido um Bl tão bom como aquele.

Foi aí que eu encontrei o Theory Of Love, eu originalmente comecei a assistir para ver se conseguiria distrair minha cabeça e nn pensar no outro 24h por dia. O meu objetivo inicial era assistir uns 3 ep de Theory Of Love e voltar para o fim do meu outro Bl para que quando eu acabasse o outro nn me sentisse tão sozinha, pq iria ter outra história para acompanhar. Como eu disse esse era o meu plano no começo mas acabou siando ao contrário kkkkk

Comecei a me envolver com Theory Of Love e fiquei tão encantada com a história que assisti mais alguns ep e quando me dei conta já estava perto do final e ainda nn tinha terminado o outro. Um Bl que eu comecei somente com o objetivo de me desviar do final do outro acabou se tornando um vício que acabou me levando até o dia de hj o qual estou escrevendo essa resenha. Eu terminei Theory Of Love mesmo sem ter terminado o outro que eu estava vendo antes, meu tiro saiu totalmente pela culatra kkkkkk

Agr falando sobre o pq desse Bl ter me conquistado:
*Narrações
*Historia bem desenvolvida
*Ritmo gostoso
*Personagens cativantes
*Osts contagiantes
(Ainda tem mt mais pontos positivos para falar sobre ele, mas vamos focar só nos principais motivos para ter me conquistado)

>>>

1_ EU AMO NARRAÇÕES, TIPO MUITO, MUITO MESMO
E assim que eu começo esse drama eu vejo várias narrações do Third de um jeito totalmente pessoal, SIM ERA ISSO QUE EU ESTAVA BUSCANDO!

Amo essa sensação de se sentir parte da história através de narrações. Eu me senti ligada com tudo o que aconteceu e me liguei com os sentimentos dos personagens. Me envolvi tanto com história que acabei tomando as dores do Third e acabei chorando em muitos momentos por conseguir sentir todo o mal que tudo aquilo fazia para ele.
Acho legal destacar que mais na metade do drama, o T para de narrar e quem começa é o Khai.

Achei superimportante termos essas duas visões da história, no começo vemos o T indo atrás do K e acabamos tomando as dores dele, já na metade começamos a ver o K indo atrás do T e sentindo as dores dele tbm.
Esse foi realmente o que mais me deixou feliz nessa história, eu pude me aventurar pelos sentimentos deles e me encantar com cada detalhe da história.

>>>

2_ O desenvolvimento da história foi algo que eu me encantei, além das narrações terem mudado de direção as cenas tbm mudaram. Então mais para a metade começamos a ver mt mais cenas do K do que do T.

Preciso nem falar que eu amei mt o desenvolvimento na hr que mudamos o foco dos personagens, confesso que fiquei morrendo de medo do T voltar correndo aos braços do K quando ele confessasse o seu amor. Mas nn foi isso que aconteceu, desde o começo vemos um personagem de opinião forte que mesmo amando o outro se coloca em primeiro lugar pensa se isso vai ser algo positivo, tomando cuidado para nn machucar a si mesmo novamente. Acho difícil encontrar isso nas cenas de hj em dia, mas eu adoro ver personagens empoderados que colocam a si mesmo em primeiro lugar!

Os jeitos como eles desenvolveram a história individuas dos outros personagens tbm me deixou maluca!
Tudo foi perfeito demais para ser verdade, eu confesso que shippei o Two com o P’um desde o início, mas mesmo assim o desenvolvimento deles como casal foi incrível o que acabou dando um belo Plot Twist.

Sobre o Bone e a professora, eu tbm amei como tudo foi desenvolvido! As coisas começaram bem devagar, mas não foi cansativo. Eu sempre apoiei e sempre vou apoiar história de amor que nn necessariamente dão certo, fico triste por ver poucas produções assim, mas as que conseguem fazer isso tem um lugar reservado no meu coração! É incrível o fato de vermos uma história de amor que nn termina com os casais “destinados” juntos no final. Interessante demais ver qua as coisas não são assim na vida real, nem sempre as coisas que vc planejou vão dar certo e tudo bem vc levar isso numa boa! E isso é algo mt bem retratado em Theory Of Love.

>>>

3_ O ritmo dele é incrível, todas as coisas acontecem na hora que devem acontecer. Eu nn vi nenhum furo enorme no roteiro ou algum ep em que me senti perdida. Também nn me senti com pressa em ver o desfecho logo, tudo se encaixou tão bem que foi realmente uma boa experiência assistir ele no meu tempo e com calma.

>>>

4_Personagens cativantes são tudo algo precisa ter para ser bom, como eu já disse anteriormente eu me envolvi muito com a história de cada um deles de maneiras diferentes. Conectada com a história de um jeito mt bom com as narrações. Mas mesmo aqueles que nn tiveram narração foram me conquistando aos poucos, nisso eu devo dar credito aos atores que fizeram um ótimo trabalho representando as emoções deles mt bem.

>>>

5_SOCORRO, QUE OST É AQUELA SENHOR?
Eu fiquei viciada em ver a parte final de todos os ep só para ouvir a música, eu amei ela em todos os sentimentos. Mas depois quando fui procurar a tradução fiquei mais emocionada ainda, a letra combina super com todos os acontecimentos e realmente expressa a dor em forma de som.
Essa letra me surpreende, pq acaba me deixando triste por lembrar de todas as coisas que aconteceram, mas mesmo assim consegue me deixar com o coração quentinho por ser uma melodia linda de se escutar com toques que me lembram bastante as batidas dos corações.

..........

Acabei com os meus pontos positivos e é nessa hr que eu detono tudo com os meus pontos negativos. Mas dessa vez eu nn consegui pensar em nada que pudesse ser classificado como algo negativo ou algo que me incomode na história.
Poderia mt bem dizer que o único ponto negativo é ter poucos episódios, mas assim eu estaria me contradizendo pq como eu disse antes, eu realmente amei o timing de Theory Of Love. O tempo em que todas as coisas aconteceram foi ótimo para mim, então não poderia desejar mais episódios.

>>>>>>>
Enfim, acho que por hj é só!
Se quiser assistir algo leve, divertido e que te faça rir e chorar ao mesmo tempo Theory Of Love é a escolha certa para vc!!!

Absolutamente maravillosa

La historia transcurre muy natural. Tiene momentos que te hace llorar de risa y algunos llorar de pena.
La actuación es maravillosa: los personajes sufren una evolución que puedes notar comparando el capítulo 1 con el 12.
La historia va desarrollandose poco a poco pero en una medida que te hace querer saber más y más. Los giros inesperados estan asegurados. Muchas de las cosas que suceden, pensaba que iban a ocurrir de una manera pero luego te soprenden. Saben como engancharte desde el momento 0.
Sinceramente, acabé este drama en dos días y me ha encantado.
Muy recomendable.

De los dramas boys love que he visto , este me ha gustado especialmente por la no exageración en el contacto físico entre las parejas y que muchos dramas BL tienen .
La química entre los protagonistas es buena .
La historia esta muy bien desarrollada y en cada capitulo lograba situarme en la posición de Thirm y como se sentía y después cuando se intercambiaron los papeles me paso lo mismo con Khai .
Ambos protagonistas muestran un avance en sus actitudes al paso del tiempo .
Y Las referencias de las películas hacen que te integres mas a la historia , sobre todo si las has visto .

o neném chorou

A cansativa e chorosa história do casal principal faz com que o drama fique bem insuportável, ver esse menino chorar tanto pelo outro me deu uma agonia extrema, essa serie é uma das series que eu realmente nunca assistiria outra vez. pecaram em não desenvolverem os casais secundários que tinham um potencial enorme visto que podemos ver uma quimica enorme entre o earth e o nawwat e em não diminuírem esse sofrimento todo, a história é boa, a atuação do nawwat salvou, mesmo a gente já sabendo que ele tem esse potencial desde de lovesick, a ost não é muito boa não, sinto que se a história tivesse sido um pouco mais estudada e aproveitada o drama seria muito melhor.
