know this isn’t the director’s fault but I just didn’t like how they ended the tincan storyline there (if you read the novel after that part they do end up back together). Also how there won’t be a season 2 because of managers and the author and issues.

That really sucks but it isn’t the reason why my rating is a 9 it’s that because of the way the storylines are shown. You were only really introduced to Techno/Kengla story line in the last episode and plus it was rape. So I didn’t enjoy that.

But for the positive the chemistry between all the couples were amazing and you can definitely tell that they were excited and ready to play those roles. Especially Aepete and Tincan. I also love the relationship between Pond and Ae it’s really cute and honestly one of the truest friendships.

This series warmed my heart. A lot of BL is very slimier and falls into cliches and in a way kind of blur together. This one stood out for me. The characters and the acting were very well done, all the actors I found were well cast and fit their roles quite well. Ae and Pete had one of the most healthy and sweet relationships I have ever seen in a BL show. There story was simple and which I found really refreshing. The obstacles in there relationship weren't there big things that cause major issues but rather the every day issues that a couple like them would face, and they handle them well and like a realistic couple with good communication skills which is a something I would like to see more of in drama. The side couples in this show are also a highlight. Not to spoil but I am so excited for season 2 of this show and to see more of tincan's relationship. Overall, a really fun and cute show that I can see myself re-watching in the near future

This series is finger licking good. Didn’t come here to brag about Aepete but uh, their relationship is so freaking amazing and admirable. Like come on, where can we get some more Aepete? Their love scenes feel so real and you’re able to sense the love through their gazes, touches, and kisses.
The other three couple are kinda irrelevant? I mean I took a liking in Kengkla and Techno's (minus the r*pe) just because they fitted each other so well but other than that, I don’t really care about them.
Aepete nation rules.
Acting is amazing for actors who barely tackled their first series or second+. Perth’s (Ae) acting is incredible and ugh, I love every inch of him. He’s amazing and will do well in the future. Saint is also an amazing actor! For someone who is actually manly in real life, he can certainly take on a timid, innocent role.
Please watch the series. It’ll bring warmth and comfort.

Ok I have seen some BL Thai stories but this one beats some of them for the romance and the passion shown in the series!

Ok now... in general I loved the series except for the last episode because I felt it was rushed! The PetexAe relationship was developed along the series and it ended with some beautiful acting from both actors (loved Ae by the way!!!!), but the other relashionships not so much...

I'm not gonna comment on the other 2 relashionships (TumxTar and NohxKla), because the last was RAPE and the first talks about RAPE and were confusing (VERY!!!)

Now my last favorite relashionship was CanxTin. You start the series hating Tin and end up loving him in the end (not to spoil everything)

Loved the other actors as well. Pond was hilarious!!!!
Lastly, I HOPE there is gonna be a season 2, because CanxTin need to end up TOGETHER!!!!!

This is my first time writing a review, it happened that i can't hold it in any longer cause the ending wrecked me.

As a huge BL fan, and has seen almost all BL series (mostly Thai) I'll be honest and say the plotline is cliché and lots of stereotypes. But it's unique in it's own way.

LBC was a rollercoaster of giggles, smiles, emotions, fluff and tears for me esp the ending.

I give a 10 cause its well deserved. The acting was great and chemistry on point. All the characters did their best though some really disappointed me at the end.

There are the pros and cons in this story:

CONS

For example: Kengkla acting the victim after that romanticized rape pissed me off. I thought he truly loved Techno, but looking back on it, he was just obsessed with getting into the other's pants. And God I wished Technic got a taste of his own medicine. Bitch! Techno deserve a better brother and lover.

Now to Tum: like bitch you don't attempt rape and make lunch as an excuse. And Tar, you don't play nice with someone who almost forced himself on you.

PROS:

Aepete is the most adorable couple I've ever seen. They get boring sometime though with all the overloaded cheese and fluff. Loved Pete's smile.

TINCAN! I DIED! THE ENDING KILLED ME THRICE!

may the soul rest in peace.

Watched this series for Tincan and I've no regrets despite their tragic ending. I loved them and still does. They're my favourite couple and each did well in their roles. Can was such a sweetie that never failed to make me smile. I enjoyed each and every scene of this cutie. And Tin, why him? Why? Why TinCan? Why?

Before blaming Can for rejecting Tin, one should put themselves in Can's shoes, as an immature teenager confused and clueless of what love is. As a teenager who loves food and believed Tin was trying to buy him by asking for a kiss each time he did Can a favour. As a jealous kid who couldn't take it that his sister ship tinpete. Rejecting Tin was harsh and ended up leaving them both broken.

My babies deserve so much better istg.

Overall this is one of the must watch series out there and I'd rewatch TinCan's cut over and over again.

Cute and Heartfelt story that i strongly recommend !

When i first picked up this series i was still rather new to BL world but i had watched a couple beforehand. I was actually surprised that this drama introduced us to a rather odd main characters personality types when compared to usual settings. Usually we get this truly strong and manly guy right next to the cute one, so my first impression about Ae and Pete was rather refreshing . I must admit, Pete was a bit too childish and shy to my taste but Ae's performance completely and utterly made up for it. I strongly believe that as far as ,, HUNGRY emotion ,, go..and yes, i am not talking about eating ! No one has been able to top Ae's performance for me and I've seen loads of dramas by now. This is also the very reason i took this show up for a rewatch.. and well season 2 , i still need to see, truth to be told, i couldn't watch season 2 after first one before.. The pain Ae feels in season 2 is still so hard for me, but this is another story. That season has a happy ending ! Yaay.. or well.. partly.. as i do feel sad that Tin gets Canned on this version. Tin and Can's story is one of the strongest side couple stories i think. Love by Chance is also written into the same universe as Why r u ( aside to some differences ) and Tharntype series. So If u liked those, i suggest to try LBC as well.

What i like about this show :
* Softcore yet really strong chemistry between characters , they play it out so well it makes you cringe more than some heavycore sexy scenes do ..
* Ae's character !
* Radical differences between characters. P'Good and P'Can for example , its so unique because one can't shut up and other one can't really talk at all .
*Daring use of words in this show ! I like how blunt they are ! They don't just swirl around.. they use some really endearing and bold words and sentences !

Some unlikes :
* A little too childish and weak Pete, sometimes it does push my nerve but only a little :D
* Ending for Tin and Can on season 1 .. i hate it.. but in a way i'm glad because only happy endings would tire us soon out.
* P'types character is way too sweet on this series.. he is suppose to be more of an asshole. Who has seen other shows from this universe will get what it means :D
*Storyline is rather small and doesn't surprise us .. but it's simplicity is also likable and easy to watch
* Multiple characters were too ,, much '' .. Like they turned crazy mode full on for some of them. And of course it's not completely bad but a bit overpowering in this sense .

So in my opinion , try it out ! And let us all know what you thought of this series ;)

Not the best one but better than what I've been watching these past few days?

So let me start with Pete & Ae. One thing i liked more about their relationship was they never had a misunderstanding. Whenever they feel something, they just talk it out. And i will thanks to pond for this coz he was the one who said pete to always talk to ae if anything is bothering him. Ae & Pete were just in love with each other from the day one to day last. They respected each other's choice and decision (except for that one before their relationship how pete was forcing ae to like the other girl) otherwise it's one of the cutest BL series coz what I've been seeing is mostly thai bls are full of toxicity and sexual harassment kinda thingy.

Next I'll talk about can & tin. I would have never expected them to end up together if i hadn't watched Tharntype before this honestly. Can was like a baby and tin was extremely annoying rich kid lol. How did these babies end up together? Anyways their storyline was kinda cute except for some parts where can was unnecessarily annoying tin?

There was no need for tar & tum's storyline? Like how tf a big brother can fall in love with his own little brother. For god's sake they're siblings? Idk how could anyone romanticize this sh*t?? He even once tried to kind of molest him. No? They should have ended their story in Tharntype only.

Talking about rewatch, i never rewatch anything unless they're extremely stress buster

TinCan biased

The only story line that made me watch this series is the TinCan pair. No shade to the other pairs, I just enjoy cold rich grumpy guy meet sunshine guy trope.

After a few watches, AePete storyline gets a bit flat with no major challenge to the relationship to make it grow. Kengkla pair and TumTar pair have both deep and sensitive storylines that weren't addressed properly.

Acting wise, most of them improved as the series progressed. Music is good as BoySomPob is a really good composer.

Why is this show getting so much love?

Must Watch? - NO
Fluffy? - WHAT?
Perfect? - I threw up in my mouth a little.
10/10? - Where we even watching the same show?
Rewatch? - Why would any sane person even consider that?

I was hesitant to watch this after TharnType, which I personally consider one of the better BL's, with strong 3 dimensional characters. But the reviews made it look interesting. Boy was I wrong.

It's another typical BL for shippers.

The main character's are Ae and Pete, but their storyline gets no further development in the last four episodes.

It literally has a rape scene being played for laughs and character/couple development.

Tar looks 12 years old. The scenes with Tum made me extremely uncomfortable.

While I liked Ae, there is something off about the way he treats Pete. It seemed very controlling , possessive and has all the red flags of later emotional abuse.

Tin and Can - The kissing scenes. The actors looked like they where forced. There is one particular scene where the blocking was off and it was clear that they where not actually kissing.
Overall this show just left a very bad taste in my mouth.

I rated the acting high solely on Perth and Saint's capabilities.

I really loved all the couples in this drama. Their acting and the way their chemistry worked out was good.
Pete and Ae - The main couple in this series. A good chemistry between the two and there was a real heat on the screen. Pete was overloaded with his cuteness and Ae had a charming character. He had saved Pete in all his crisis. Pete became strong with the help of Ae and they both enjoyed their relationship in a great way.
Tin and Can - The couple whom I wanted to be together so badly ended up breaking up. Tin being cold on the outside but had a soft corner inside. Can, who will do anything for his friends.Though at first they started to hate each other, they really loved their existence. I expected them to be together but Can ended up hurting Tin. I wished Can could expressed his feelings towards Tin.
Kengkla and Techno - Fun and cute pair. Romance between a high school junior and senior. I adored this couple. They only had few parts but they stole the show when they were on the screen. It was really fun to see Kengkla being top and Techno being bottom.
Tum and Tar- Love between the step brothers. Being harassed in the early life of Tar, he trusted in Tum . They hid their feelings since it was a taboo but no matter how much one's hide, the love will blossom in its own way. Step brothers being in love I really loved how they understood each other. Tar felt secured when he was with Tum.
I finished this series in one sit. I really want to congratulate all the actors who had put their efforts in this series and I badly wanted Season 2.

It's Really one of the best series out there

Despite some issues in storyline and ending of the episode Because of the issue of company's management towards Saint

I really like How natural Acting Perth did like man he was only 17 at that time The Chemistry Between Ae and Pete attracted me and honestly they looked good together

I didn't got attracted to Tin and Can storyline. Tin always wants to Kiss Can and Can always abusing him it just gets weirder

For Tar and his Brother except rape episode they were sad every time.

Ae and Pete were the only one in story who were most loved by me it's really worth watching their story they are seriously good
Since Being First time in Love Ae of course had sexual appeal for his First love like who doesn't have any.
And That Doesn't create a TOXIC COUPLE



I recommend to watch it but watch most of Ae and Pete Story

Friendship love n everything

PETE n AE made a beautiful couple but the open ending made me confused n bit sad... I loved the possessive n protective AE and pete was just cute and adorable.. Falling in love is necessary but falling in love with the right person is important.. Or u may end up hurt..
The overall atory was good to watch but the disappointed cause we dint get to see them together at the end...
CAN plays a good friend but the way it has shown common on a kid wont behave that way always hungry for free food.. That was bit irritating not humour... TIN behaving almighty falling for this silly kid was just perfect... Thats what love by chance is
Over all the story is good to watch..
