Perfect cast but a little too slow paced for me
One of the best casting I have came across in Thai drama. Almond Progress NJ Bew along with the rest of the cast each suits the characters so well.They all did a fantastic job in terms of acting, considering this is the first role for many of them. The direction was little too slow paced for me but I understand that this was a remake of a decade older BL and the plot progression were different before. When it was good it was VERY good, when it was not up to the mark I skipped.
Too many couples made it hard to keep up with the storyline so I mostly skipped everyone else except PhunNoh, AimLee and Ohm and Yuri. The story was light hearted and very simple however it's quite enjoyable and gives you butterflies. I liked how this was age appropriate for the actors. A sweet high school romance to enjoy while having your meal.
P.S. Now I am a little too obsessed with AlmondProgress. Even at such young age they have amazing chemistry

The Most Disappointing Watch of 2024
I hate to be so brutally honest, but this is one of the worst BLs of 2024. Literally, everything about this series, except perhaps the acting, was uninspiring. Although the young performers did a ‘yeoman’s job’ in trying to keep this shipwreck afloat, they alone could not salvage this complete mess from sinking. Honestly, to say otherwise, is living in a fantasy-land and not dealing with any sense of reality. It is a tepid story with a fragmented screenplay, ineptly directed, disjointedly executed, and undoubtedly should never have been (re)made. The only plus about this series literally is that they had the appropriate aged actors and actresses for the roles. They were young, attractive, innocent in real life, and tried their best to make sense of a story that was essentially senseless. Full disclosure, I did not watch the first ‘Love Sick’, so this was all ‘new’ to me. Thus, I cannot compare it to the original. Besides, this is a stand-alone production and ought to be judged on its own merits or faults.Read the complete article here-

When will reflect BL shows realities???
The "delusional" shy `fake female acting´ reflecting 19th century is so depressing ... It was in the 1st show and repeats, out of what?, tradition?, here again! Beginning of EP11: waking up and crying, because your lover lies next to you and you nozzle him, or the "Let´s shower" avoiding shy-prudery-dance ... so anoying and so not real. Especially for gays and even lesbian!I know these "stories" are written by hetero women for hetero women in mind and as merket.
But when do the writers finally reach realities? Realities of LGBTQIA+ lives and life?
Being shy in the public I can understand ... but in private in this "clean woman" behavior, again and again???
I am short to drop the show!
BTW: the Phun actor of the 1st show, being asked if he is gay ... HELL NO!!! Okay he never got any lead, only minoe supporting roles after ... the Noh actor made a similar sniding answer ...

Am I the only one that lowkey thinks Phun is a red flag?
I haven’t finished this drama, but I notice something while watching. At least until ep 9, I personally think Phun is an asshole. And I much prefer Noh get with Earn ((whoa who said that ✋😦🤚)). This Phun guy literally has a girlfriend, but meddle so much in Noh’s business, acting jealous or whatever, even confessing to the man. He is forcing him to stay ‘single’— cannot talk to anyone or he will sulk 🙄. And yes, I hate the girlfriend too bcs she also did the same thing.AND THEN, finally they broke up. I thought okay good now Noh and Phun can be together. Um.. Why the fuck is there a time jump to 1 month later BUT STILL NO PROGRESS TO THEIR RELATIONSHIP? Bruh. I might crash out and drop this drama.

A GOOD REMAKE TO WATCH!!!
I usually don't like watching remake because i can't help but to compare it to the original one. But LOVE SICK 2024 HITS DIFFERENT, I love this series so far. Idk how to explain but they bring back the real romance feels in thai bl, it's been awhile since i felt this.The casts are very young but they're already good in acting for a debut esp the lead casts (Almond and Progress, even their names sound weirdly cute Hahaha). Their chemistry is on point and i can't wait for other side couples to introduce as well.
Another thing i like about this remake is that they still followed the plot but changed some parts of the storyline which made it better and became modernized. This is all i can say for now since it's still ongoing, but YOU GUYS SHOULD GIVE THIS BL SERIES A CHANCE.

Im glad this is better than original
The chemistry between the characters was easily shown up even tho it is it first episode. Lovesick 2024 is one of the best thai series in 2024 in fact that the storyline of this portray some betrayal(when noh cheated to yuri being in a secret relationship with phun) and how to cope with the teenage problems this series also tackle the acceptance of lgbtq+ community. Im glad that the characters in this series is a lot more few than 2014 because if there's many character it will cause confusion and may result to boredom of the watcher. Great jobWas this review helpful to you?
Phun Noh was a tailormade roles for AlmondProgress
I started watching this series without watching OG version. Both Almond and Progress have nailed it and they both completely stole the whole show. Phun Noh was a tailormade roles for them. Though i was little disappointed with that mirror kiss, the shot was greatly captured especially the reflection of phun face on mirror, it was really amazing. Highly Recommended. It has great repeat value. Other than main couple i liked Earn Pete part and the actor who did Earn also did a great Job.Was this review helpful to you?
Pure Nostalgia and Overflowing Cuteness!
Story:LoveSick 2024 is a beautiful, fresh take on a classic story. It perfectly captures the innocent, chaotic, and heartwarming nature of high school romance. The plot moves at a very comfortable pace, focusing on those sweet, small moments that make school dramas so endearing. It feels like a warm blanket of nostalgia, keeping the vibe light, fluffy, and incredibly comforting from start to finish.Acting/Cast:The young cast did an amazing job bringing these characters to life. As an older viewer, it felt a little funny and self-conscious to ship them at first because of the age gap between me and the actors, but their pure charm completely won me over! The main leads have an adorable, soft chemistry that feels incredibly genuine. They portrayed the awkwardness and excitement of first love perfectly.Music/OST:The soundtrack is bright, youthful, and full of energy. It perfectly complements the school setting and elevates the cute, romantic moments. It brings back that classic, cheerful drama vibe that stays stuck in your head long after the episode ends.Rewatch Value:This is the ultimate comfort show to revisit whenever you need a break from heavy plots or dark thrillers. Its lighthearted nature and innocent romance make it very easy to rewatch your favorite cute episodes just to get a good dopamine boost.Overall:Despite the slight age gap awkwardness as a viewer, LoveSick 2024 stole my heart with its overwhelming sweetness. It is a wonderfully executed, wholesome school drama that will make you smile through every single episode. If you love soft, pure romance, you should definitely give it a chance!Was this review helpful to you?
Oh young love
Love sick is taking me back to my highschool day that full of memories that you make and can reminisce forever.The cast, director, writer, all doing great job.
I dive into this series without watching the OG love sick, so thankfully it's live up to it's old series.
All in all this is a great series to watch if you like highschool love, friendship and memories that last forever.

This is one of the best
All my life as a BL Fan. I've watch like 97 percent of the BL series produce. But i tell you this is one of the best. The character is superb.When the time you watch this movie youll be like: Ohhh they've been to many acting scene already. Because they act like they have the 100 percent of emotions like they get it all. From their stand down to their emotions, I give my best compliment. yowww the best!
What make it one, best is that they really give life to the character way back 2014. Like its been how many years, Who would have thought about this, right?!
I love how the artist bring fictional character to life. BEST!
Cheers to all the cast- Tia51
Hoping to have more series to come.

Comfort drama
Okay I might be biased about this one but I completely LOVE IT.Why noone told me about this before? I ended it in one day I got so invested I already miss it.
I absolutely love the fact that there’s all representation I mean bi, gay, lesbian and trans. Especially since the trans person in the series is also trans irl and they treated her so well as a character in here I feel so comfy. There’s aswell representation of parents accepting and those who don’t.
Maybe it doesn’t have much lore but there’s a lot going on, really a lot. I love the characters honestly and the cast it’s so well. It’s just really a series to comfort you. If I’d have to choose a drama I want to be in, I’d definitely choose this one < 3
It already has my whole heart and will add it on my favorite list.
Also the actors are really pretty ngl I can stare at the all day. I feel really good with the fact that Almond (Phun’s actor) is my age cuz it makes me feel even closer to this drama as they’re all close to my age, when most of the actors are much older.
Also I love the fact that it’s just so sweet without any crazy scenes, cuz they were all underage when they were filming that so there are only sweet kisses on the forehead or the cheek.
The characters are VERY well written like so much going on all the emotions out there and the acting is also SOOO good and they’re so young so it’s really surprising.
Can’t forget about mentioning about the yearning the main pair (PhunNoh/AlmondProgress) have between each other, it’s insaneeeee like yes please give me more of it. The others have it too but their is definitely top tier!
There’s also shown really well how we all need to communicate both in a relationship and a friendship too!!
If u want some comfort sweet drama after watching something heartbreaking I’d really recommend you to take your time to watch this! (Of course it has some sad moments too but overall it’s all just a really comfort drama and I’ll repeat myself over this a lot of times)
I also need to mention that I didn’t knew any actors or the lovesick 2014 ver before this so it was completely new to me. I wouldn’t say I’m biased myself because I didn’t knew them before but I kinda might be since school dramas are my favorite kind🥹
okay guys that’s ittt WATCH ITTTTTT!!!!! underrated gem

10/10
its a perfect 10 for me.. no dull moment for every episode. and i even post some clips of this series in my tiktok acct. the cast is young , handsome/cute and new but their acting is so professional most especially Progress his acting does'nt like he is just 15yrs old. This series does not have kissing scene but its understandable because the main cast is just below 18. I wish progressa and almond will have another BL series.Was this review helpful to you?
