The End & A Limerick
Tin & Can were adrobs, and felt very modern as a couple in a strange way I can’t quite articulate, but that most BL lacks.I’m not sure this will enter my regular rotation as a rewatch, but I definitely enjoyed it. I pronounce it…
CUTE
* I thought Tul & Hin had killer chemistry. I wish we had seen more of them together.
* They ended the sad-sack Ae story line as best they could under the circumstances. Better than I expected, actually.
* I wanted more Keen, but I was always going to want more Keen. I am camp MORE KEEN.
* Techno & Kla went with a cop out, but who cares about that anymore?
A ditty:
I did not want to love it, but shoot.
Cantaloupe is Tin’s favorite fruit.
Sad Ae was too sad.
But Tul wasn’t so bad.
So in the end I found it cute.
Ddid anyone else miss Ae’s trusty tote bag?
Just me?
Eh, that’s normal.

What a disappointment
I have to say the breakup of Ae and Pete ruined this for me. It might have been easier to accept if we didn't have to see Ae crying every other scene. I had to start fast forwarding through those because 1. it was depressing and 2. I was there to see Tin and Can. But guess what? They changed their story too. There was a weird recap with changes and nothing was as good as it had been in season 1. Yep.To sum up, they really should have kept Ae's scenes to a bare minimum. No one wants to love season 1 only to find their ship has broken up miserably in season 2 with one character crying his eyes out ALL THE TIME. I love Tin and Can and the characters deserved so much more out of season 2. It didn't completely suck, but almost.

Just Why!?!? ??
I so wanted this to be good. I really tried to live it. The first one was so nice & I love the idea of Tin & Can because they are such polar opposites. I wanted to live them and I really REALLY tried but why cast 2 dudes in a BL that are afraid to kiss other guys!?!?!? Honestly it just made their whole relationship worthless I can't believe your in love if your only kissing the corner of the other persons mouth or here is an idea take out the kissing part!! The sad thing is for a guy that doesn't want to kiss dudes they have Mean kissing Plan A LOT!!! I seen some stuff saying mean is homophobic & I try not to listen to that stuff but it kind of looked to me like he didn't want to be there. Whoever cast them should be fired. On top of that they turned Ae into a whining b!tch. I get it was a scramble because of the managers but come on!!! Ugh!!!! Just so disappointed this could have been amazing had the recast Tin & Can but it was just a train wreck where I ended up liking Tin's brothers story and that dude was an @ss to everyone even the guy he "loved".Was this review helpful to you?
I LEAPED THE FIRST HALF OF THE SERIES
The timeline of Can-Tin's story doesn't flow rightly with their storyline in Part 1. I was so confused that I dropped the first half and started at episode 7. I don't mind if I missed the struggles of Ae but I couldn't care less because Can-Tin's story within the first half was already at Love By Chance part 1. I noticed that they changed the story a little bit but this is quite understandable since it became more detailed and elaborated. Also, there are many characters that were given too much screentime but actually don't need that too much exposure. I should've focused more to Can-Tin, Tul-Hin and Pete-Ae if I am the scriptwriter.Overall, this is a step-up to part 1. You can still watch this even if you haven't watched the Part 1. Other than the chemistry of Pete-Ae, there's nothing significant left.

i truly do not understand why this season did as bad as it did.
yes, changing up the pre-established story for this was an interesting, if not irritating choice at first, but i feel like it actually helped the season in the end.tincan were cute in season 1, yes, but their build-up still seemed somewhat rushed for a now main couple, there was not enough levels to it. if they were to become the new main, they needed proper screen time. and i feel like the writers knew that from the beginning, too. going back in time was probably the initial plan, no one could have predicted the perthsaint situation. but it happened, so they had to come up with a new solution. going with a storyline that's already halfway through, but not nearly enough of it shown and without any depth to it... or re-doing it with some changes? they probably could've still gone back in time and just not shown ae as much, pretending things were still fine with pete (his annoying crybaby stuff was a pain anyway). either they just wanted to move forward with them as well or that really was a stupid decision to please perth's fans. maybe they also found their impact on the characters to be too important to leave out. all possibilities that need to be considered. in the end, doing it the way they did probably seemed the most plausible to them. and while one could keep arguing if it actually was and it takes some getting used to, was it actually that bad? i personally don't think so. i imagine rewatching the exact same situation to be a bit tiring as well. this changed things up and again, most importantly presented tincan as actually deep and complex characters with motives, thoughts and feelings we can fully comprehend and relate to. we understand why they act like they act. and i think they did that wonderfully.
tincan's relationship developes very naturally and they have a beautiful bond. nothing between them or about the drama around them seemed forced. it was nice to see how they learned to appreciate and understand each other - and you could really tell how hard they fell for one another as well. they are very playful, but also take each other seriously. the comedic moments actually made me laugh, which is rather rare for dramas, and the romantic ones made my heart melt. unlike one too many bl pairs, they legitimately feel like a healthy couple and behave like one, too. their dating process was realistic and there was equal love, trust and care between them that they never failed to prove. i don't know about you all, but i absolutely love that.
now about the other couple and drama on the side... i can't really defend that, there was nothing there. i didn't mind too much... i just watched it all at 2x speed 💀 but it was really unnecessary. they would've been better off if they had given that 10% to tincan as well, if i'm being brutally honest. i like no... but no.
but again, i couldn't care less. tincan really sold this to me and it's honestly one of my favs now, i prefer it over season 1. unpopular opinion, but i guess that's nothing new to me when it comes to dramas.

It's rape, sexual assault, and incest my friends, not love.
Why does a story where men love men have to have so much sh*t in it. It couldn't be any sh*ttier honestly. Someone was RAPED and they make it a LOVE STORY. F*CK NO. Queer stories already have so much going against them, so WHY? And every relationship is toxic here. In addition to one relationship based on a rape, one relationship is incest, and the main relationship is abusive. In the main relationship, guy A often kisses guy B without his consent and after he's been told not to. That is sexual assault my friends, and if you're going to say "well, he wouldn't have gotten to kiss B any other way," then YES, GOOD. If the only way some one can kiss you is by doing it against your will, you should probably slap them, and if it continues, press assault charges. And the rest of their relationship is abusive in that guy A gets everything he wants out of guy B through manipulation and threats. It is not ok to break someone's phone to get their number, or any of the many manipulative things he does.Finally, guy A's actor is Homophobic. I don't know if they knew that when they cast him, but they certainly could figure it out as they put him in ...kissing scenes with another man. And you can tell. His acting at times seems fine, but other times, you feel kind of sick watching him. Almost if you can feel the feelings he's trying to suppress coming out when he's acting...gay.
I'm so disappointed. I want to say something like it could have been better, but not this. The very premise is based on sexual, assault, rape, and incest, do just write a new story please.

Hmmmmm.....
If you have watched season 1 you can start this season at episode 7 because the first 6 episodes only recap the story if Tin and Can that you have already seen.Also you won’t be confused by the time warp!
No Pete as we all know and EVENTUALLY we find out why - don’t blink or you will miss it!
I skipped through most of it just interested in Tin and Can and Tin’s back story. Liked the ending. Won’t watch again.
Although I liked the relationship between Tin and Can there is no real chemistry like there was with Ae and Pete alto ugh. I think Saint is a superb actor and he makes the difference.

So many that mad because of they change the story line. I also didn't like that Tin and Can like never meet in season 1. They change the story of how they meet. If you want to continue season 1 to Tin and Can story , you better start from Season Episode 7. Its sad for Ae that he breakup with pete but seem like they breakup because of Pete father. Maybe pete father disagree with their relationship so pete have to study abroad.Rumor has it that Perth and Saint's managers had an altercation and that's the reason why Perth and Saint can no longer commit to a project together and that probably why they make them breakup in season 2

not a fan
I know that some people are big fans of this series but I kind of hate it. While Can was never my favorite in the original series he is way to much for me here. He was way to whiney and stupid throughout the entire series although I do appreciate his loyalty to the people he cares about. I also didn't like what they did with Aey. While the actor did a great job both the actor and the character deserved better then what they got. There are several scenes that are very good that I watch on Youtube, but honestly I would give this series a pass.Was this review helpful to you?

Loved it! I'll rewatch it!!
I've always loved Tin and Can together. Tin has this very sexy look, he's so hot, arrogant, hurt, lost trust and needs someone cute and clumsy like Can to make him believe in people and love again- like a kdrama plot haha. I never liked Ae/Pete's relationship as much as I liked Tin/Can's short moments in season 1, this season is like the treat I really needed.Tin's acting is soooo good, one of the few BL actors who's acting doesn't make me cringe
Also to anyone who's annoyed that they recapped Tin/Can's scenes from season 1 before they continued with their new scenes, actually I think this was very smart to so since they didn't just recap their scenes but stretched them out with fillers where it looks more realistic to follow and see both of their POV. Also the recap of their moments from season 1 is really good for people who just want to watch Tin/Can's story without watching season 1.
I just really felt that Ae got too much screen time here and I didn't feel interested at all, always skipped. For those who want to see Ae/Pete's continuation that happens after this season then read the novel, its available in English on Amazon kindle and its very cheap.
In this season alone, there's 4 couples: 2 have bf/bf romance, 1 has a long distance romance, and the third one is a 3 love triangle of unrequited love (as in Tum's unrequited love for his step brother continues here, someone else has an unrequited love interest for Tum. Tum and his brother's relationship will continue in TharnType season 2 but their characters have different actors. Tum and his brother's story starts in TharnType s1, continues in Love by chance s1 and s2 then continues in Tharntype s2)

TinCannnnn!!
I loved how they did this series.We can all agree that tincan got barely any screentime in the original Love By Chance. They needed more depth to them, and we got it. I loved how they went back to the beginning of tincan's story and went from there. That way we get a more real sense to them and not just going off of what we knew already.
Now I do agree that Ae got really annoying and No and Kla was so irrelevant. When I rewatched this series I skipped all Ae, No, and Kla's parts to just watch tin and cans parts.
I loved that we got a more playful and cute side of tin and how his and cans relationship opened up more. Especially when Can called Tin his sugar daddy, lol.
