péssimo roteiro

Essa é mais uma trama terrível que ficam romantizando o estupro assim que começao namoro dos protas o Mark bebado achando que está fazendo sexo com outro. A trama é toda meio confusa o Vee machuca o Mark de todas as formas inclusive com uma namorada chata que o corneia e pior muitas vezes pintam ele de coitado sendo que ele fez pior tem uns cortes de cena muito esquisitos acredito que a unica a se exaltar é a atuaçao do War esse cara com certeza é um dos melhores atuando nesse ramo Bl. aquele tipo de ator que fala com os olhos e ainda esse bl ta cheio de coadjuvante chato.

Unquestionably, one of the finest BLs

Captivating. Mesmerizing. These are just some of the adjectives I would use to describe this astonishing and exceptional Bl series that uses the standard formulaic idea for most Thai BL series. So why did this one so capture my attention and frankly my heart deeply? Unquestionably because of the connection and chemistry between its two main stars. I believed their story from the beginning to the end. It is one of the best acted BL series to come along in a very long time. I thoroughly enjoyed this series for its depthless of its main characters.

Leave the morality all those who enter... and enjoy great acting and some of best t-drama chemistry

Love mechanics is as ridiculous as it gets story-wise.

Enter with zero realistic expectations.

After you accept that the ridiculous never steps down but each episode gets more unpredictable and immoral in many cases...then you have zero expectations and can just hone into leads and enjoy the best part of this drama...

Their acting and chemistry -- chef's kiss.

Kids remember, take no lessons from this one. None of these characters should be your ideal partner in anything but perhaps physical looks. Vee's behavior is for me very despicable in 99% of cases. Mark, what are you doing my man?

Hot scenes are hot because actors are good at their job. But they are often a product of strange and manipulative circumstances that SHOULD NOT BE PRESCRIPTIVE IN ANY CASE to viewers.

Now that being said, this is pure drama and entertainment. I hope you can only take it at that value.

Always a fun rewatch for me.

Tnx for reading.

It got better and better!

I’m not gonna lie, but the first two episodes of this series are a mess. I honestly thought this series was complete trash after even the first episode so I dropped it for a long time. Too many things happened in the first episode, not going to spoil, but from relationship drama to a variety of different emotions from the characters. For me, I didn’t like it at all, and it was feeling like another Only Friends-type drama (no hate to Only Friends, but it’s just not really my kind of series). A while later, I was bored and decided I would watch it while I worked since that’s usually what I do with shows I’m indifferent towards, however… I WAS SO WRONG!

I did not except that I would binge a series like this in just over a day! Honestly, it was worth giving it another shot. I became so invested in the relationship drama that I just had to watch the entire thing. I love the actors and I think their acting was very well done (hope to see them in future dramas)! Usually with bl series I start to get bored after the couple starts dating, but for these guys (who technically weren’t officially dating for a while) I never got bored! The series was unpredictable, in a good way. Lots of conflict could have been avoided in so many situations, but the show always settled for the worst outcome, which I found very entertaining. The characters were annoying at times, especially when it came to communication, but I think it was understandable due to their rocky past experiences with each other.

To put into perspective, I had this rated like a 6/10 when I first started watching it (which is very low for me), and now look where it is lol! If you are going to watch it, make sure you give it 4-5 episodes before you drop it since the series may start off not so great but it certainly gets better.

Yin War and some fantastic moments

Some really troubling earlier episodes and it’s not breaking any new ground but the cast, chemistry and acting couples with some really sweet moments was enough for me. I did sadly enjoy the En of Love version, it was enough of a fluffy watch then and I feel like this version gave me more of the fluff.

Non consensual sex is never okay, and that is where this started. It’s not redeemable behaviour but I felt the character progression showed some growth in everyone’s part. Gutted Neua didn’t get his little romance but hopefully a season 2 is in the wings.

Yin & War = Perfection

This version i like a lot better than the En Love one, I wish all the En Love could have their own longer series.

Mark & Vee - Mark is forever my baby but damn did these two stress me out to the max, and I don't even know why. I think it was the constant Vee not knowing how to tell Mark that he was in love with him and then not thinking about things before doing them and Mark then in turn hurting Vee because he was hurt. Both Yin and War always play their characters so well, every cry scene was done extremely well, and the way they looked at each other with pure love but neither could tell each other.

Nuea- This poor guy, just wanted to be loved by Mark, but Mark kept stringing him along and getting his hopes up instead of just telling him he liked him as a friend way before the Gear ceremony. I wish we could've gotten a longer version of En Love - Love Story because I wanted to see Nuea happy because he was one of my favorite characters

Bar & Kan- I don't know why they changed "Guns" name but nevertheless I like this version of "Gun" better, not to be mean to Win Achawin Michaels but I think Jeff played him better and he's more relaxed.

Yiwaa- She made me so mad at the beginning, she always showed up out of nowhere, and always got in the middle of Mark and Vee. She was also to blame for Mark stringing along Nuea because she always pushed Mark towards him knowing how Vee felt about Mark. All of her scenes with them just made me mad

Tee & Lee - They are still my favorite, they have been since the Gun and Bars story, I need them together in more series, they are just so funny.

Ploy - I love the actress that plays Ploy, i think Perth is just so cute and I loved her in The Middleman Love as "Jan" and then in Why R U as "Zol" but Ploy made me so mad because she was also stringing along Vee instead of just breaking up with him the moment she knew she liked Ton

How does one like this show?

Exactly like what the title says, how does one like this show?

The first episode starts out with literal rape. Call it what it is. I see so many people just glaze over this all of the time. I’ve read dozens of reviews of this show before watching and not one mentioned the fact that there was literal RAPE. Mark was too intoxicated to tell that Vee wasn’t actually Bar, and not once did Vee tell him otherwise. Then after they wake up in the morning, he literally holds him down while Mark screams for him to let him go. Why do people like this show??

I’m going to skip around a bit because I’m honestly just tired at this point.


The entire plot of this show is about Mark, a regular college student, and Vee, a cheater and a rapist, who have an entire series where they just get into misunderstandings and half break up with each other. Literally every single time you think, “Yay, they’re finally happy!” Someone gets into a questionable situation and a huge misunderstanding happens. EVERY. SINGLE. EPISODE.

The only, and I mean ONLY reason I kept watching the show as long as I did (7.5 eps) was because I love the actors so much. Before watching this show—and the reason I watched this show—I was watching Jack and Joker: U steal my heart! And I LOVE this show. Everything about it is amazing, and the actors are sooooo good. If you didn’t know, almost the entire cast of Jack and Joker are in this show. That is the only reason I kept watching it as long as I did.

To summarize a very poor review, I hate this show. The only good characters are anyone but Vee and Plot, oh, and Ton.

I love my man Tattoo <3 watch Jack and Joker guys ><

DO NOT WATCH THIS. GO WATCH THE 2020 VERSION.

This is torture, guys. Literally. It was hard to watch and I had to drop it because it was sick. It was disgusting the way everything was romanticized. The first episode starts with a rape, the violence is completely disturbing, y'all who liked it should persue therapy ASAP. The first version from 2020 is short but there's consent and maturity, go watch it and erase this new series from your minds.

Sympa et bien joué, mieux que la première version

Love Mechanics est le reboot en 10 épisodes de la mini-série "En of Love : Love Mechanics", elle-même série dérivée prenant place dans le même univers de "En of Love : Tossara". Les critiques étaient très négatives sur Tossara, donc c'est la seule série de l'anthologie En of Love que je n'avais pas vue, mais j'avais trouvé les deux autres plutôt sympas au vu du court format, à défaut de voler très haut.

Pour l'instant Love Mechanics, qui était donc une "side story", semble être le seul reboot tourné (à voir si cela évolue dans les prochains mois). L'histoire tourne autour de deux personnages secondaires de Tossara, Vee et Mark. Ces deux-là sont ennemis car Vee fait tout pour empêcher Mark de traîner sa face d'amoureux transi devant son ami Bar (le protagoniste de Tossara), qui est en couple depuis la fin de la première saison. Alors qu'ils sont tous deux saouls, ils couchent ensemble et c'est le démarrage de leur romance.

Les deux acteurs sont à l'aise, crédibles, ils jouent de manière relativement naturelle et juste. Les personnages évitent tout manichéisme, par exemple la petite amie de Vee n'est pas décrite comme une evil bitch qu'on a envie de claquer, au contraire elle est dépeinte de façon réaliste et sensible. Ensuite, cette romance étant plus conséquente que sa version d'origine, elle a davantage le temps de se développer, abordant différents stades d'une relation et les problèmes que l'on peut rencontrer, sans les édulcorer : la confiance, l'adultère (Vee étant déjà en couple depuis 3 ans avec une autre étudiante au début de l'histoire) etc...., tout ceci de façon assez concrète. D'ailleurs, contrairement à de nombreux BL, l'intrigue ne fait pas disparaître comme par magie l'homophobie ambiante et l'importance de l'acceptation familiale. En outre, l'histoire est suffisamment bien construite pour qu'on n'ait nul besoin de se taper les En of Love pour tout comprendre. La romance entre Vee et Mark est la seule réellement développée dans cette série (bien sûr le couple formé par Bar et Tossakan est montré, mais ils font davantage partie du décor pour donner un cadre de compréhension à Love Mechanics, puisque c'est à cause d'eux - ou grâce à eux - que Mark finit dans le lit de Vee), donc l'histoire ne s'éparpille pas dans tous les sens et évite les longueurs inutiles. Dix épisodes suffisent donc à nous raconter cette intrigue, ce qui pour moi était paradoxalement une bonne chose et une mauvaise chose en même temps. Je m'explique : autant on arrive assez vite au bout du drama, il n'y a pas vraiment de temps mort et il se passe toujours quelque chose de logique dans la mesure où le scénario se concentre sur le développement de leur romance et des obstacles qu'ils rencontrent, autant j'ai trouvé que 10 épisodes étaient un poil trop longs... En ce qui me concerne, je ne suis pas très intéressée par les hauts et les bas d'une relation. Je préfère largement les histoires qui se concentrent sur "l'avant", la tension amoureuse qui aboutit à la concrétisation et à leur prise de conscience que les sentiments sont mutuels. Cela m'a donc assez vite lassée de visionner leurs rapprochements et leurs ruptures successives, et pour en rajouter une couche j'ai trouvé que Mark était assez dur et antipathique à certains moments du drama (sans vouloir spoiler, lors d'un malentendu il va se montrer un peu trop rancunier envers Vee qui a pourtant des circonstances atténuantes dans ce cas précis). Mais ces derniers points relèvent principalement de goûts et de préférences personnelles, et les spectateurs qui s'intéressent aux difficultés d'une histoire d'amour, même quand les personnages sont clairs sur leurs sentiments, apprécieront très certainement ce BL.

En conclusion, c'était une bonne idée de remanier l'histoire d'origine et de prendre le temps de la développer. Pour ma part elle est vite oubliable, parce que je me suis un peu ennuyée à partir du 8ème épisode, mais c'est vraiment personnel et quoi qu'il en soit, ça n'enlève rien au jeu naturel des acteurs, leurs personnages sont attachants, leur romance est crédible, l'intrigue est construite intelligemment. Elle se concentre sur leur relation, du coup elle se développe de manière logique sans nous ennuyer avec des digressions inutiles. Donc même si c'est loin d'être un coup de cœur pour moi, objectivement cela reste une bonne série et je me demande ce que pourrait donner une nouvelle version de la romance de Nuea (un perso secondaire qui trouve lui aussi son bonheur dans le 3ème opus de "En of Love"). Et bien qu'elle aurait mérité d'être un chouïa plus courte puisqu'on s'intéresse uniquement à Vee et Mark, elle reste quand même agréable et sympathique à suivre.

Parecia impossível dar certo, mas deu muito certo.

Assisti aos três arcos de "En of love", confesso que o que mais gostei foi Love mechanics, e acredito que a maioria das pessoas também, visto que foi o único arco a ter uma série estendida.
Quando soube que o Studio Wabi Sabi vendeu os direitos da série para a WeTV, confesso que não entendi a lógica de gravar uma série onde seria contada a mesma história, com os mesmos atores, apenas com mais eps, que ao meu ver seriam apenas para encher linguiça. Quebrei a cara!

Primeiro gostaria de falar do roteiro, ou melhor, das minhas críticas ao roteiro. Existem duas cenas que me chamaram atenção, pois tinham acontecido de forma muito diferente na versão anterior, que são a cena do flagra que Mark dá em Vee e Ploy se beijando e a cena do aparecimento do ex de Marc. Ao meu ver isso foi um furo, mas... Sigamos.

A série tem vários clichês, e por algum motivo o roteiro foi tão bem produzido que mesmo diante dos erros dos personagens eu não pude odiá-los, o máximo que aconteceu foi eu torcer para que a pessoa mudasse a conduta, mas amando a atuação.

Algumas situações aconteceram de forma muito errada... Não tenho como passar pano. Quando Mark ficou com Vee a primeira vez, ele traiu Ploy. Ok, ele estava sendo traído, mas não sabia disso, nesse caso, a traição foi uma grave falha de caráter dele. Na mesma situação Marc não tinha condições de consentir absolutamente nada, nem mesmo reconhecia quem estava ao seu lado, e mesmo partindo dele a intenção, não era correto Vee transar com ele nessas condições por motivos óbvios.
Sobre a traição de Ploy... Foi a que mais me revoltou. Entendi o deslumbre dela por uma vida de luxo, mas é imperdoável ela simplesmente não ter terminado com Vee, aliás, a impressão que passou, foi que se Vee não tivesse descoberto a traição ela manteria os dois relacionamentos na maior cara de pau. O fato dela ter sofrido violência não apaga o erro dela.

Realmente acredito no amor que Vee sentia por Ploy. Mas o fato dele tê-la perdoado não o faz um cara legal, e sim um idiota, que foi traído e exposto a todos e insistiu em uma relação de amizade com a ex sem perceber que isso machucava Mark. Da mesma forma Mark amou Bar de forma intensa, mas em determinado momento percebeu que deveria recuar, e teve dignidade para tal.

Então, como disse inicialmente, o primeiro arco teve 4 eps, imaginei que os outros 6 incluídos seriam apenas para encher linguiça, mas quebrei a cara de novo. Fomos apresentados às famílias dos dois, e pudemos ver as diferenças, não apenas o abismo financeiro que os afastava, mas o abismo de valores. Os pais de Mark não eram ruins, ao contrário.... Eles conheciam a pobreza, e queriam apenas proteger seu filho de uma vida de privações que eles já conheciam. Talvez tenham feito isso da forma errada, mas com certeza voltaram a si. A família de Vee, apesar de humilde, acolheu o relacionamento dos dois sem maiores dramas. Como não amá-los?

Sobre os amigos de Vee, nada muito diferente da primeira temporada, mas seria muito justo que Nuea tivesse terminado acompanhando de seu par em "This is love story", afinal ele foi um fofo durante a série toda, e em troca a única coisa que recebeu foi ficar sozinho.

Sobre ost e fotografia: perfeição define.

Sobre atuação: incrível! Cada um dos atores foi feito para o papel que interpretou, e aplausos para a atuação de Yin Ana e War Wanarat, principalmente War. As emoções que eles conseguiram transmitir foram muito fortes, chorei junto com o Mark diversas vezes, como o War é expressivo, tem olhos que conseguem penetrar nossa alma e nos inserir qualquer emoção. Ele nos causa reações emocionantes.

Amo essa série, 10/10 apesar dos pequenos furos, verei ainda muitas vezes e super recomendo.

удивлена, да есть ннемного

Я люблю Вара. На этом было бы достаточно в моем случае, но продолжим.
С "Любовь инженеров" я реально влюбилась в игру Вара. И с страницы агентства, я узнала, что будет продолжение, в виде истории пары Ви и Марка отдельно. Ждала неистово. В промежутке появился лак "Лучшая история", где многие как и я ждут продолжения, так как закончилось явно с огромным намеком на будущее. И да, я ждут какая кара постигнет деву.
И вот дождалась. В принципе, кто смотрел инженеров, тот знает немного сюжет этой пары. И казалось бы должен быть повтор, просто более расширенный, но при просмотре вышло все иначе. Да, много сцен, что мы уже видели, но много моментов сыграно по новому. досмотрела. Посмотрела 3 спешла с урезанными моментами из серий, почитала рецензии и вот я здесь. Скорее всего будут сполеры... К сожалению.
Отличие от инженеров, этот лак "дышит" психологией. Читала чей-то комм, что "ой да ладно, после одного перепихона сразу любовь" . Ну я бы так не сказала. Насчет Марка, а вот Ви - да. Для начала, у Ви нет опыта в любви и есть только одна девушка, которая только тогда с ним когда удобно ей, и отношения уже видно, что сошли на нет, только:
- я не готова говорить со всеми почему расстались и как же так я буду одна, ведь тут до жути удобный человек. Надо иметь по полной.
Так вот Ви, впервые почувствовал нежность, тепло и наслаждение от отношений. В ту самую ночь, впервые от кому то нужен и любим. Плюс образ Ви. Этот самый простой парень, хороший и добрый, который всех защищает и поддерживает.
И так сюжет, герои и психология...
Марк -Маса, мы только в конце начнем понимать его поведение "возьмите уж кто-нибудь меня". Как Вар играет, думаю не стоит про это говорить, все всё видели. Его игра лицом, это потрясающе. Веришь каждому взмаху его ресниц. Ему не надо даже слов, он все сыграет лицом. Марк - ребенок, который пытается быть взрослым, чтобы доказать отцу, что вдали и без поддержки - он выживет и будет счастлив. Отец даже грубя, пытается объяснить и наставить сына, получается плохо, так как агрессивно и просто не умеет правильно донести информацию Кажется холодным, но давайте вспомним концовку: почему папа поставил такой смайл и при этом улыбался тихо радуясь за сына? Понимаете о чем я?
Ви. Ин. Как вырос актер в актерской игре. Я чувствовала боль, когда Марк "ставил его на место". А когда овца Плой делала выбор и рассказывала почему изменяла, вы видели его глаза? Ви наивен, а еще у него огромная чувство вины из-за бедности. Он Отказывается понимать, что дело не в богатстве и что он при таких условиях вырос сам и учится в хорошем университете. Он везде и во всем чувствует свою вину - я не справился, я не смогу, так как у меня нет денег. Ещё он слишком ответственный.
Ива. Ива конечно прекрасна, но порой я ее не понимала.
Плой. О май Гад...Вот тут мой мозг покинул территорию моего черепа. Про таких я говорю: и рыбку съесть и сковороду :бип: не помыть. Если в Инженерах, вообще было непонятно с чего Ви повелся на поцелуй уже любя Марка, то тут нам раскрыли тайну, но Плой не вызывала положительных эмоций от слова совсем. Лживая, лицемерная эгоистка, манипулятор.
любимым отдушиной стал на удивление Бар. Гот мало был в кадре, но это было великолепно в плане дружбы, адекватности, взаимовыручки и поддержки. Такого друга я желаю каждому.
Сценаристу, отдельное спасибо, что впихивал пару за парой, и теперь сидишь и думаешь - я слабо по каждой отдельный лак? Ну давайте, убейте нас. Ведь тут явно прослеживалось образование еще, как минимум, три пары.
Прекрасный лакорн. Пропитан не просто историей, а жизнью. Это часть реальности многих. Чтобы подумать. Остановиться и подумать.. Отличный актерский каст, игра старшего поколения безупречна. Сюжет жизненный. Показаны разные уголки Таиланда с их условиями. Я благодарна всем и каждому, кто работал над этим проектом. Вы заставили на многое посмотреть иначе. Лишний раз подойти в близким и поговорить, говорить - это безумно важно. Быть верным себе. Счастье в мелочах.
Спасибо всем кто дочитал это полотно. Я просто под глубоким впечатлением от лакорна. Как красиво и мудро показать жизнь без психолога, надо уметь.

romance, diversão, tristeza... essa série te oferece tudo da melhor forma!

não tem outro igual, é só ele mesmo! isso mesmo, to falando de love mechanics.
eu nem sei como explicar o amor que tenho por essa série... primeiro de tudo, sou muito grata por ela ter me apresentado o war (mark) e, claro, me mostrar uma história a qual fiquei completamente imersa até o último segundo.
love mechanics me apresentou uma sinopse simples que apesar dos atritos, não fez com que eu esperasse muita coisa, para ser sincera. pois foi aí que me enganei.
os olhares, a emoção e TODAS as cenas de romance entre o casal principal me conquistaram desde o primeiro momento, o que geralmente não acontece! a forma com que o war (mark) e o yin (vee) moldaram os personagens e o relacionamento deles me prendeu e me convenceram, fizeram com que eu torcesse para eles até o final, mesmo com tudo acontecendo rsrsrs
e, mesmo tendo uma história relativamente "simples", algumas cenas me tocaram de uma forma sem explicação, fez com que eu me identificasse e realmente entendesse os personagens e suas lutas internas. novamente preciso elogiar os atores e seu ótimo trabalho!
recomendo demais principalmente para quem ta iniciando (como eu), pois é leve e divertida, tendo seu lado sentimental também, e até mesmo pessoas não interessadas em bl ficam presas (confia em mim, meu primo assistiu comigo e ficou igual eu até o final). muito amor por essa série!
