This is the best part of the three EN of Love series despite having the thinnest plot, but it has only 3 episodes instead of the usual 4. It was apparently shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cast for the main characters and the couple dynamics are the cutest amongst the three parts, but there is no chance to really develop it into a better story. If you watch BL simply for couple cuteness and sweet boy-boy flirting moments, this is good enough. Both the actors and the characters are cute, and the acting is reasonably good even if the actors aren't really challenged.

There are potential points of tension in the story such as the objections of Param's brother to the relationship that aren't really developed further. I'm actually not sure if the span of one episode would have been enough to develop This is Love Story into something better, so I won't solely blame the pandemic for it. Overall, it feels like there is barely any plot development (let alone climax), and we just see: 1. boy meets boy, 2. boys fall in love. It feels like the story has just started and then it ends.

I think the series could have been really good if someone could continue the story and make Episodes 4-8 or even 4-12. (The EN of Love trilogy is based on a novel which I haven't read, so I'm not sure how much more of a story there is in the book.) It is theoretically possible to continue with another 5-10 episodes and turn This is Love Story into a nice story without changing the first three episodes at all. It is such a pity because Param and Nuea make a very likable couple. (I wouldn't mind seeing the same actors in more BLs too.)
