I am usually very critical of most shows.

I love this show. It is such an amazing coming of age drama. It has less to do with coming to terms with being gay, and more to do with coming to terms with being in love. Which I absolutely ADORE!

I love Ae. He is uncomplicated and simple. I love that his dilemma isn't that he is having feelings for a boy, but rather that he is having feelings at all. Period. I think that's one of the reasons I love this show so much, because I relate to Ae so much in this regard, because for me love is about who a person is. I love the awkward UST between Ae and Pete.

Pete. He is so adorable and innocent. I think my favorite interaction between Ae and Pete is when Pete smack's Ae on the chest and say "You don't have to say everything that crosses your mind." He is so adorable in that moment. It hurts me how self-sacrificing he is - like "Boy! Chompoo will get over herself! She isn't even friend's with Ae. She has met him all of ONE time! You've been spending every day with Ae for WEEKS!

Perth and Saint were adorable as Ae and Pete. I don't know about the drama that went down, and I honestly don't care. I just know that even though Perth is a baby, he exudes this maturity as Ae and even though Saint is older he has this innocence that is so amazing to watch. Yes, there is a lot of room for growth, they are still young and fresh, and it is important to remember that this is new to them, and they may or may not actually be attracted to men, so to be new to acting and to be put to far out of your element and to still have such palpable chemistry is amazing.

Pond - OMG another nosy best friend that I loved. What an adorable yet annoying character. He kinda grows on you. Like Ae says, if he keeps talking, he'll be your friend. Hahah. He is so cute. Ae's clueless Love Guru.

Can - I love can. He like a little kid. I actually thought Plan was younger than Mean, but he's actually older, whodathunk! I love how fiercely loyal he is towards Ae and Pete. I love how he sticks up for them. How he defernds them to the end of the world. First, going from "gay is disgusting" (because Tin is trying to provoke Can) to "gay is only disgusting if you (Tin) are gay" (when he realizes that Tin is saying that Ae and Pete are gay and so if Can says "gay is disgusting" that would mean his friends are disgusting, and Can only hates Tin, so he has blind acceptance for his friends, not questioning it, not caring that they are gay, he loves his friends, he will stand by them till the end of time). I love him so much. I hate that he is so preoccupied in his brain by all his thoughts, and is so haunted by them. I hate that it causes what happens at the end. I can't wait for LBC2.

Tin - My least favorite character, but I get it. I don't like that he coerces Can into going on dates. That he uses physical affection as "payment" for things, like Can is a prostitute or something. I hate that. But I also hate that he is so broken and so unloved. I feel for him. I really do.

Tum/Tar - I miss Tharn/Type!Tum, he was hot. LBC!Tar is cute, he can stay. I am glad we got to see some of their relationship, but I could care less. It was not related to Ae/Pete or Can/Tin in anyways so it didn't matter I didn't understand why it was in this series. Like Tum/Tar never even meet the main characters.

Techno/Kengkla - the non-con made me cringe. and the manipulation made me double cringe. Not looking forward to more of that in LBC2... >_<. I miss Tharn/Type!Techno. He was such a spaz I loved him! Again, I didn't understand why this pairing was given as much importance as it was. But at least Techno interacted with Can to some extent.

Type - Earth is cute. But I miss the harsh accent and abrassiveness that Gulf gives Type. Also, are Type and Tharn having problems? Or was Type just super involved in everyone's business because he was so happy in his own life and had nothing better to do with life?

Are TharnType series and LBC series gonna continue to have different actors playing the characters that overlap? Like Techno, Tum, Tar, Technic, Kengkla, Champ, etc? That'll be confusing... also all of them play the characters differently which characterizes the characters differently.... >_<
