Love Syndrome III: Uncut Version

PERFECT EXAMPLE OF TOXIC LOVE

Okay I know that some of the viewers will say 'STOP ROMANTICIZING RAPE', this story is not about they romanticizing rape. It is about a toxic love where it started with rape and soon they overcome their own trauma and ended up in love with each other and during their 3 years love, even the smallest little thing could lead into a huge argument yet they couldn't help but to be with each other.

Day is toxic because he groom Itt to be hopeless and not sure what to do in life without Day's help and Itt is toxic because of how stupid he could get because of a cake and he is really stubborn. Both of them have their own toxic trait and yes, there is a huge character development throughout the series. Though, I need to complain that WHY THE FUCK IS FRANK WEARING A WIG????????? Like i really cannot unsee it. My god.

But honestly, I am a skipper but this series makes me watch from the start until the end and IT IS A GOOD SERIES. The plot is not the problem here but I think Frank's acting is a little bit stiff and he need slight improvement in it but DARLING..... LONG'S ACTING IS DAYMMMMMMMMMNNNNN. I AM NOT SURE WHY I HATE HIM PREVIOUSLY??????? He is so cool and charming!! Like damn i could watch his fighting scene for hours and I will still fall for him. DAMN LIKE OH GOD HE IS SO COOL I AM NOT EVEN KIDDING. His acting alone could make me watch this series all over again.

Frank's acting is.. hm... very doubtful. He seems to be stiff in certain part and his eyes looks empty, not enough emotion. Though, he is doing alright for this heavy series, I wish he could just give more commitment in this. And also I think its because of Itt's character that could become one of the challenge.

Now please excuse me while I go stalk Long's IG and the previous drama he acted in. LOL.


PLEASE DONT WATCH IT IF YOU ARE NOT READY FOR SOME HEAVY TOXIC SERIES cause I am tired of people complaining about this series.

I guess I'm the odd one out - I loved this Series

This series got very low ratings... and I get it!

This series has a LOT of toxicity - especially the uncut version. If that is not something you can deal with, please don't even try to watch this, you may end up very upset.

While I didn't care for a few of the abusive scenes, they made their point vividly. While I would never want to see anyone behave this way for real, I could accept it for this drama. I think the storyline was well put together, although the end was a bit too "cinderella" for me.

What I didn't really care for were some of the many flashbacks. Some were necessary, some could have been cut.

What I liked - all of the characters - and I felt they were well matched. Honestly, I felt some of the reviews were really harsh. Not everyone likes the same shows (I don't like the silly bl's or the fluffy ones). I prefer the ones with more serious undertones. I feel like there have been a lot of over the top silly bl's this year, with little to no rewatch value. I am sure I will rewatch this one in the future.

One thing I wish they had done was instead of some of the unnecessary flashbacks was to put a storyline of how Day and Itt became lovers.

I like the OST, it's been used before, but it emphasizes the feelings of love.

Love Syndrome is more demented than amnesiac

When not one, not two, but THREE couples are a result of sexually assaulted victims falling for their assaulter, you know you’re in for a toxic mess.

Despite this series’ low rating, I gave it a go as I’ve seen Lee Long Shi in “Even Sun” and Frank paired with Drake in “Between Us”. Can't say I'm a big fan of both butttt I did enjoy them to some extent in said series. What’s interesting was seeing Lee Long ‘top’ here when he was the ‘bottom’ in Even Sun. I have to say his ability to do both makes him one of the more unique BL actors, not to say that not being able to fulfill both isn’t unique, but it doesn’t limit his acting or typecast him. (Also, I want to see a series where Fort Thitipong and Lee Long Shi are brothers because wow, they give me similar vibes.)

Before diving into the series, we need to understand that there’s a ‘Bad’ Day and a ‘Good’ Day (I honestly love that the character’s name is “Day” and they stretch the 'bad day' and 'good day' in him).
‘Bad’ Day is ruthless, jealous, and combative. He was born the day his parents were killed in a car accident that left him and his beloved younger brother, Night, orphans. Bad Day is a former mafia member who dropped everything bad about him two years ago. Good Day is the result of Day getting away from Bad Day and closer to Itt. He is mild-tempered, soft-hearted, responsible, and a bit of a pushover. Despite being the ‘Good’, he still possesses a dark side which is his openness and willingness to groom his boyfriend into becoming solely dependent on him.

This brings us to Itt, ‘Good’ Day’s boyfriend of two years. Right from the jump Itt is painted as a spoiled man-child who has an irritable cake obsession. Cake was his drug, he had to have it right then and there otherwise everyone suffer from his tantrums and inability to function, particularly Day. Despite Itt’s childishness and immaturity, he’s adored and babied by his peers, friends, and parents. Although Day has admitted to bending Itt into the role of a codependent boyfriend, it’s been revealed that Itt’s parents sheltered and spoiled him relentlessly growing up; never pushing him to do more nor asking him to help more with the family business. Cooking was also out of the question as he once burned down their kitchen. Therefore, when Itt, a grown man, lacks the basic survival skills it’s impossible to blame him or any party entirely. Itt’s codependency also allows him to accept abuse on an unhealthy level and I don’t care how many times a character says Itt is selfless, he’s the most selfish character.

Since Day suffers from memory loss and has returned to a character viewers aren’t familiar with, his growth, or lack thereof, is fairly acceptable. However, Itt has never truly grown. Itt doesn’t take responsibility for much of anything and this is because his friends and parents are always on his side. He shouts and raises his voice at Day every other four to five lines. Everyone but Day gives him more credit than he deserves and victimizes him on an unconditional level. The only time they called his childishness out was when he demanded cake and asked Peace to sleep beside him. I wish Itt’s cooking skills were developed and shown over the series and not him waiting until the final episode to show interest in learning because at this point we’re supposed to believe he’s been responsible for Day’s meals for months. I mean, did Night end up cooking all of them, or did Itt order delivery? Because we never saw Itt grocery shopping either and he clearly hasn’t shown any improvements when they went shopping with Bell.

The supporting and side characters were fine for the most part but they were too nosy and the amount of gossiping they did was excessive. There were a lot of times when I wondered why Gear and Night felt the need to control the direction of Day and Itt’s relationship. As a brother and friend, it’s acceptable to help but manipulating (i.e. Ball) is a different story. It gave the mains outs and excuses not to talk. It also skewed some situations i.e. when Day punched a wall because he couldn’t remember, friends miscommunicated that to Itt as Day punishing himself for punching Itt when in reality Day never felt bad for punching Itt on the racetrack because let’s be honest, was dumb and irresponsible on Itt’s part. The common person knows better than to jump in front of an oncoming race car at high speed. The part that further pissed me off about it was that Itt specifically asked Nan to be in the car with Day and still decided to put all of their lives in jeopardy. Had Nan not noticed and Day not braked, Itt would be 4-6 feet underground. Or had Day swerved, he would have crashed or flipped the car with him and Nan in it and they, too, could have been one with the ground. I’m so upset that when Day brought this up, Itt took ZERO accountability for it and never understood why he was in the wrong. Gear and Night also never asked why Itt did that, they just assumed that Day was in the wrong--he was, in the way that he overreacted and resorted to violence but I have to say Itt asked for it when he put all three of their lives at risk.
I also despise how selective the support characters are when it comes to over and under-sharing. When Day woke up with his memories of Itt wiped clean, he never got answers because everyone would just say ‘Curious? Figure it out yourself”. But then they would blame and get mad at him for not remembering. Day just couldn’t win as he was surrounded by Itt’s supporters.
Sometimes I questioned if Night was Day or Itt’s brother.
Speaking of Gear, I don’t understand his hostility towards Day in Night and Day’s house, especially when he once abused Night and knew Day hated him for that. Gear is a guest but he oversteps like he owns ¼ of the house.
I’m a huge fan of Nick. I love his humor and wit and wish there was more of him. He’s Itt’s best shield. I thought he and Neil were a compatible couple. Neil isn’t overly jealous of Nick’s flirtatiousness and understands that it stems from a cry for attention as the son of a mistress.
Nan and Mac…hmmm…at this point, I can’t gauge if they’re the second or most toxic couple but I’ve seen them being compared to Vegas and Pete from KinnPorsche and well…if you know then you know. Nan is Day’s henchman who instantly strikes us as someone who always has the upper hand and is quick on his feet. Despite his small screen time, he’s not a man to be trifled with. Although he doesn’t use his fists as often as Day, he’s proven to be just as good a fighter but with big brains. Aside from running a racetrack with Day, Nan’s toxic trait is to punish Itt’s molester, Mac. Mac is someone who went to high school with Itt and stole Itt's girlfriend, Meen, in the name of actually having a crush on Itt. As adults, Mac throws an out-of-the-blue confession at Itt while forcing himself onto Itt. Witnessing this, Day beats and shoves Mac into Nan’s arms and insists that Nan does whatever pleases him. And so Nan did, on top of threatening Mac with a non-existent video. Like DayItt and GearNight, Nan and Mac’s abusive relationship alas blossomed into ‘love’.

Guest roles and their purposes:
Meen - utilized to show us that Itt is bi aka gives Day more to be jealous of.
Kim - creepy guy #1 to prepare us for creepy guy #2, P.
Kamol - the mafia boss who never felt like a mafia boss. His motto is ‘killing creates an endless cycle of revenge so manipulate people to off themselves instead’

Other notes…:
- The mafia arc was done so poorly, it was over within 1-2 episodes
- The acting is passable, not great but not bad. In some scenes, one actor would overact as the other underacts. Frank’s acting can be dry at times, especially the non-red eyes and tearless crying.
- The script is…fair at best. I wish there were more industrial terms but meh
- Continuity error is a big one (the biggest offense is when Itt took the car to the waterfall but they kept cutting back to the house showing the car parked in front (establishing shot, I get it but c'mon now!). The first mistake I can laugh at but the second or third just tells you no one in editing was paying attention. And no one can convince me that was Gear’s car because it simply wasn’t.)
- The editing: they overused fade to black one TOO many times. The rectangle/zoom out in the middle was also used TWICE; it screams basic editing skills.
- Some camera angles need to go
- The comedy was satisfactory but lackluster editing killed it. And I’m not saying they should have added those overused sound effects but a change of song would have suffice. There were a lot of times when Nick delivered iconic, and I mean ICONIC, lines but background sounds never backed him up. It’s bizarre to laugh at a joke with soft, romantic music playing, just sayin’.
- Again, the misuse of music and sound throughout the show; they don’t match what’s happening on screen. (i.e. Itt passing out in the car due to Day’s speeding for one.)
- Opening song was chef's kiss though!
- Seeing that Lee Long Shi is a former Muay Thai trainer, I expected good action, and he and the series delivered! Although the pool table scene didn't quite work as Day was trying to pocket the 8-ball from two different angles but hey, at least we got comedy and romance out of it.
- Itt always has something of the five going on: he’s angry because cake, he’s happy because cake, he’s crying, he’s sick, or he has a bruise(s)/cut(s) on his face. (It’s ridiculous that they turned his running away into a camping trip for one but secondly, of the eight people present he’s always the one getting hurt. Like getting his jaw body-slammed and a leg cramp--there’s always something wrong with Itt.)
- Every. Single. Time. Day remembers something, Itt’s go-to reaction/response is ‘You remember?’. Istg, doesn't he have anything else to say? Seriously like no…he was just telling you what he remembers… The only time we didn’t get to hear it was when he had his panic attack.
- Day’s cast-off party was creepy, cringe, and a hot mess. I'm aware that its purpose was to reveal how sick all of the characters are and make Itt question whether he's Day's equal partner or property but I'm sure there are better ways to go about it. (Also, love that Itt was aware of that, however, he never got a direct answer because TOXIC RELATIONSHIP. Then again he said Day was his as much as he was Day's so...match made in heaven I guess...)
- Why is everybody gay?
- Why is everyone so taken with Itt other than his good looks?
- Why are all the villains men who are or were interested in Itt? Mac, whatever-his-face-long-hair-guy-who-pissed-everyone-off, and P.
- Why were characters introduced but nothing came out of them? Why wasn't Salmon a recurring character (he was one of the few healthy relationships Day had with literally anyone. And hello English-speaking Lee Long Shi!)?
- Why were issues created but never resolved or brought up again? What happened to the four teens that broke into the barbershop? Did Day ever replace Bell's stolen items as they never attempted to recover them? Why weren't the police involved in any given issue (SA, kidnapping, physical violence, attempted murder, stalking, you name it)? And why was Itt afraid of taxis, I don't think that was ever explained.

All said, this series isn't for everyone but I for one enjoyed it despite all the eye-rolling and frustration I went through. After episode 8, everything was redundant and even more unhinged but somehow it kept me glued to the screen. I wouldn’t recommend this series to the light-hearted but to the sickos such as myself, it's one of the must-watches!

A Bittersweet story of Love and Redemption

Before delving into the world of "Love Syndrome," I decided to explore the First Book of the series, which painted a tumultuous picture of their relationship. Hoping for growth and improvement, I jumped into the series, only to find that while there were changes, they fell short of true progress.

The story follows Itt, initially portrayed as a petulant child, whose unreasonable demands lead to an accident resulting in Day’s partial amnesia. Day, his boyfriend, fails to recognize Itt and reverts to his hateful demeanor, favoring only his younger brother. Undeterred, Itt remains by Day's side, determined to jog his memory and rebuild their past. Flashbacks offer glimpses into their shared history, while an antagonist from their past threatens to destroy them both.

One of the main grievances lies in Itt's failure to learn and mature after the tragic events. Instead, he regresses, becoming a victim of circumstance and suffering from panic attacks. However, there are glimmers of growth as Itt learns to care for Day without becoming overly emotional when faced with rejection. Conversely, the relationship between Day's brother, Night, and Itt's friend, Gear, blossoms into something more wholesome.

The series also suffers from repetitive plots, where Itt repeatedly runs away from Day, only to meet someone new who falls for him, only for Day to reclaim his dominance. This cycle becomes predictable and lacks depth. Moreover, the character development of Itt feels stagnant and one-dimensional, leaving him bland as a protagonist. Day's temperament fluctuates between caretaker and temperamental, leaving the audience yearning for consistency and growth.

However, amidst these shortcomings, Lee and Frank deliver commendable performances, breathing life into their characters. Their talent and dedication shine through, despite the limitations of the script. Additionally, the music score, especially the opening track, adds a layer of enjoyment to the viewing experience.

In conclusion, this series may not live up to all expectations, and my personal disappointment may taint my perception. Yet, it remains watchable, primarily due to the captivating performances of the lead actors. Give it a chance, but with tempered expectations, and appreciate the glimpses of talent within the series.

When Abuse Disguises Itself as Love: the Disaster of Love Syndrome III

Ed. Note I’m reposting the same review here in the uncut version, since the difference between the two is almost nonexistent.

I grew up watching movies and TV series, falling in love with stories and, over time, with the psychology behind them. I’ve always sought works capable of digging into you, disturbing enough to haunt you even after watching, to unsettle you and keep you awake at night. I’ve survived Cannibal Holocaust twice, and I know how to recognize when a story really wants to hit hard.
Love Syndrome III, however, doesn’t belong to that category. It’s not disturbing, it’s not extreme, it’s not cruel. It’s simply annoying. And it is so because it does something I deeply hate: it takes violence and romanticizes it, turning it into a sick fairytale.

The annoyance I feel towards this series is the same I feel every time a story tries to convince me that “even a psychopath can fall in love if they meet the right person,” or that the victim, sooner or later, will bend until they realize that deep down they feel love for their abuser. These clichés are not only banal: they are dangerous, and Love Syndrome III is a toxic concentrate of them.


---

A necessary premise

I know this isn’t the first part of the story, and that Love Syndrome III is the third chapter of a saga, drawn precisely from the third part of the novel. After finishing it, I looked for information about the story to understand how much was different and what the author’s true intent was. From what I could gather, the author of the novel wanted to portray two equally toxic characters, two damaged individuals destroying each other. There was no “good guy” or “bad guy”: they were two sides of the same toxicity.
The series, on the other hand, chose to turn it all into a romantic melodrama, simplifying the characters and turning the dynamic not into a war between two toxicities, but into the glorification of an abusive relationship disguised as love.

For those wondering: yes, I finished the series. Not because I liked it, but because I don’t like leaving things unfinished. I never leave anything halfway: even after months or years, I always pick up what I started. For me it’s like an open door that has to be closed. And in this case, I also watched it because I trusted the recommendation of someone I know well, who knew very well how much these dynamics annoy me.

SPOILER RED ZONE

How the series builds dependency (not love)

The very first “thesis” of the story is stated outright: Day wants Itt to be dependent. Not “loved”: dependent. The text makes it explicit — Day spoils him, conditions him, isolates him so that “you’ll never think of leaving.” It’s behavioral programming, not tenderness. The series shows/tells us that Day takes pride in his method: making sure Itt cannot live without him. This isn’t subtext between the lines: it’s staged and discussed in the early episodes.

On a psychological level, this is conditioning: reinforcements, punishments, emotional blackmail. It’s gaslighting when useful and love bombing when convenient. It’s the deliberate construction of an emotional dependency bond (what audiences often call “Stockholm Syndrome,” though it isn’t a clinical diagnosis).


---

The amnesia device: a moral reset that absolves the abuser

Then comes the accident: Day loses his memory of the last three years, meaning his entire relationship with Itt. Dramaturgically, amnesia works like a clean slate: it erases past responsibilities, justifies new cruel treatment (“I don’t remember you”), and forces the victim to start from zero to “earn back” affection from the one who already devastated them. It’s a narrative device that shifts guilt from the abuser to fate. Yet even without memories, Day continues to react with instinctive jealousy and control: the behavior remains, but the story dresses it as “instinctive love.”


---

The perimeter of control: not only over Itt

Control doesn’t stop at the couple. The series shows Day ordering one of his men (Nan) to “discipline” Mac, Itt’s obsessive/infatuated high school friend. It’s punishment by proxy: Day uses his subordinates to police anyone orbiting Itt. Jealousy becomes management of other people’s lives, and instead of condemning it, the narrative treats it as “romantic” jealousy.


---

The crossover that doesn’t hold: Day in Unforgotten Night vs Love Syndrome III

As if that weren’t enough, the series seems to wink at a connection with Unforgotten Night. In Love Syndrome III, Kamol and Kim appear (though played by different actors), leading many viewers to wonder if the two narrative universes belong to the same world.

And here’s the shock: if the Day of Love Syndrome III were truly the same Day of Unforgotten Night, we’d face an inexplicable psychological leap. In the first context, Day doesn’t come across as hateful or irredeemably toxic, and his relationship isn’t depicted as sick. In the second, he becomes the embodiment of manipulation and romanticized violence.

The result is a narrative short-circuit: two irreconcilable versions of the same character, a discrepancy so abysmal it leaves the viewer more confused than engaged. If the intention really was to create a “BL multiverse,” the attempt only undermines the story’s coherence and credibility further.


---

“It’s not love, it’s acceptance” — staged

What the series calls “love” is, scene after scene, forced acceptance.

Itt endures insults, coldness, and emotional blackmail “because Day doesn’t remember” and because “one day he’ll go back to how he was.”

The script rewards surrender: the more Itt endures, the more the story rewards him with crumbs of tenderness.

Itt’s literal mantra is: “I have to be patient with Day.” Not “I have to care for myself,” not “I deserve respect”: patience towards abuse until it gets reframed as passion.



---

“Redemption” on command

The so-called moral turning point comes because it has to: it’s not psychological growth, it’s a genre requirement. Day apologizes, has “cute” jealous scenes, does protective gestures: the reward mechanics realign the viewer. It’s emotional engineering to normalize dependency. The result: the audience is asked to root for the “tamed bad boy” — without a true path of accountability.


---

Aesthetics that betray the artifice (yes, even the wig)

Visually, the series sabotages itself. The styling choices for Itt (the wig fans had called “horrible” since the promotion) are the perfect symbol: nothing is authentic. It’s hard to engage with trauma if the image reminds you in every frame of its artificiality. And when acting and direction swing between stiff and forced, suspension of disbelief collapses. Even genre-friendly viewers pointed out cringy performances, weak directing, and even a phony final fight.


---

Psychological anatomy (brief but sharp)

Day: behavioral profile of a coercive partner. Instills dependency (spoiling/limiting), uses jealousy and isolation, delegates punishments, then seeks absolution through amnesia/“I’ve suffered too.” It’s the grammar of the romanticized abuser: guilt dissolved in backstory, passion as an excuse.

Itt: written as a functional victim. His agency is sacrificed on the altar of “stay and wait”: he endures, self-blames, trains himself not to react. The series rewards him when he’s most compliant — and that’s the most painful part, because it teaches the audience how you get trapped in the cage.

Social system (family/friends/boss): a framework that validates. The brother believes jealousy will “trigger memories” (so jealousy = cure). The boss in love who visits “normalizes” the idea that even crime can be redeemed through romance. Henchmen carry out punishments “for love of the boss.” It’s a world telling you: endure, because love justifies everything.



---

“Why it hurts” (more than explicit cruelty)

For those who’ve lived through abuse, seeing these mechanisms glorified is a trigger. For those who haven’t, the risk is normalization: jealousy = passion, possession = protection, surrender = proof of love. The series doesn’t put violence on display to condemn it: it translates it into romantic language and feeds it to you as medicine for tender hearts. This, to me, is the gravest irresponsibility.


---

Method note (on the “facts” of the Love Syndrome world)

Within the franchise and fan discussions circulates — and the series winks at — a backstory of kidnapping/rape as the origin of Day/Itt’s bond, an element made even more explicit in the spin-off movie and novel materials. Even when the TV season tones it down or moves it to flashbacks/backstory, the point remains: the core is violent, and the story uses it as a romantic spark.


---

Technique and packaging (for fairness)

Cast & setup: Lee Long Shi (Day) and Frank Thanatsaran (Itt) lead a 2023 drama produced as a 12-episode miniseries, with amnesia as the main engine.

Writing & editing: reinforcement structure (cruelty → affection → jealousy → affection), punitive subplots (Mac/Nan) to reiterate systemic control. A finale that simulates “growth” but in fact rewards surrender.



---

Closing (no discounts)

Love Syndrome III isn’t “raw”: it’s manipulative in the worst way. It uses amnesia to wash away abuse, cross-series fanservice to legitimize universal redemption, and romantic language to teach you that suffering is proof of love.
It’s not love: it’s acceptance, dependency, annihilation.

A handbook of romanticizing abuse disguised as a love story.

Wish I could give it a lower score

This is one series that left me conflicted.
On one side, the acting was pretty decent (especially for a bl series) the story line was good and I liked the design of the characters, but on the other hand the characters do such f***d up s**t that by the end of it i didn't want them to have a happy ending, I wanted them to go to jail.
It's why I gave the rewatch value such a low rating, I cannot be objective about it and I wouldn't put myself through this again.
I guess my advice would be watch at your own discretion. If you know/think that scenes and themes depicting sexual violence abuse, grooming, rape and coercion will trigger you or make it unwatchable maybe skip this one.

A not good but, DEFINETLY, not boring "fanfiction"!

When I started watching Love Syndrome, I knew what I was getting. So I didn't set up high expectations and this is what made me like it in a questionable way.

The couple in the beginning is really weird, with Itt being annoying as hell and we felling pity for Day having to deal with someone like him. But as the drama goes we see that both of them are really toxic, so basically they are perfect to each other. The one thing that I really hate on this drama, is the banalization sexual assault. Most of the couples go through this on events prior the beginning of the story, and they happen to work through it and still love each other, which I actually don't think was needed for the plot.

Love Syndrome doesn't have a really good story, but it's not boring and tedious, it feels like one of those fanfics that was written by a teenager, it's not a masterpiece but is really entertaining. Something is always happening and nothing feels like a filler, all adds to the main storyline that is Day's memory loss and Itt trying to get his old Day back while dealing with his aggressive behavior.

The cast is nice and they did a good job. However there were some moments of their acting that threw me a little bit off (mostly Frank), but it was not that serious and it didn't make me have less fun watching it. But in the other side, there were really nice moments fulfilled with emotions.

I didn't watch it the original, just this uncut version, and I feel it's worth the try. But be mindful about the content of it. You are not going watch something cute, romantic and light-hearted. This one is REALLY toxic, and I got a little bit addicted.

Chaotic storyline

Let's begin. 😅 uhh this was a complicated one. Like it had no back story i mean it had but damn it was complicated.

So the story starts with some fluffy scenes which i totally enjoined but soon becomes a mess. Itt is do damn clingy so clingy that makes me want to punch him in the throat so that he stops whining for a second. Poor Day has to put up with him like 24/7 and it makes me want to scratch my face. I know Day said he want's Itt to be dependent on him but bitch this is a whole nother lever of addiction.

The story had potential but it was poorly executed,the flashbacks were ok but somehow not enough or to much to many side characters and to many side lovers both of them equally jealous with zero to none chemistry between the leads.

It's a drama that makes you hope that it will get better but unfortunately not. 😅

A lot to unpack!

This show was problematic, over the top, and toxic, but damn was it entertaining!

I personally enjoyed the show and how dramatic it was despite the realistically problematic nature. My only actual complaint is...

THE FLASHBACKS

GOOD GOD!

This show could've easily been 2 episodes shorter if they cut out all these unnecessary flashbacks!! That's what kept me from being able to give this an 8 star. Unless it was Day regaining his past memories, we didn't need a flashback, and we didn't need to see it more than once either! The show was constantly replaying scenes we already saw as well as flashbacks, multiple times, sometimes more than 2 to 3x. It was so absurd and unnecessary.

I loved Night and Nick's side relationships with their partners. They were a very enjoyable part of the cast. Mac's was very confusing to me, like was he a hostage or what?? 😭

Anyway, if you like absurd shows and don't mind problematic content then you may enjoy this crazy gem!

Favorite Series

I enjoyed this series very much, great story about revenge, forgiveness, finding happiness, and dealing with hard times, It has many layers to the story. It's not for everyone, but I did love it overall, especially the ending wedding. It is a sister series to Forgotten Nights, which I also loved, but once again it's not for everyone since we all have different tastes. It's sad people truly do not understand the story or characters. I would recommend and rewatch as all the couples are beautiful and all deal with different issues and grow over the episodes, you have to understand this is part of a 3 storyline series. I do look forward to the next chapter. The characters and acting were good and they all had chemistry. It was nice to see that they should have different levels of personality and couples coming together. Showing us the different types of coupling that happen. It surprises me that a few are being haters for this series when clearly they don't get the whole overall storyline, but I would hope people see what is really there and how real this can be for the true value. I give it 10 for showing a great story and actors.

wife beater shirts and wife beaters

Get it, because Day wears a wife beater and beats his wife? Meh. Haven't we been here before? Yes, yes, we have. This is my second time watching this show fully through; this time it was the uncut version and the one that wasn't on Daily Motion. It got the same rating as the other one, lol. Which wasn't planned at all. This is going to be a little different from the other one, I swear. I won't go by couple, and I am just going to go based on my love syndome highlights from my close friends, lol. There were a lot of scenes I missed from watching it on Daily Motion, and a lot of stuff was in a very different order, so I was a little confused starting off, but a good little confused. Okay, I am checking the close friend's story now.

On July 12th, I caved and paid for WE TV so I could watch Love Syndrome 3 uncut. Day and Itt are just as abusive; it's just way more clear and less blurry because it's not on daily motion. Itt didn't let Day walk all over him, and he could actually fight him off, but he just didn't, and I still don't know why. Night and Gear just stand awkwardly as these two get into their nasty ass fights. They like to argue, just enjoy shouting, and want to see who can shout louder than the other. That's their whole dynamic starting off. Shouting competitions that Day usually wins, he sometimes caves and lets his man win, but he usually wins. Then Day smiled when he wanted Itt to rely on him and only want him. God, that was shity. Long played his role a little too well on some parts, which actually had me a little concerned lol.

The flashbacks were different than they were on daily motion; they were so much cuter and just over all sweeter. Then Nil and Nik, or whatever their names are, were being so cute, and the nicknames they had were also just as cute as them, green flag couple, we love them so much.

Day continues to be an absolute dick, and he was actually getting on my last nerve in this. They did my boys, Kim and Kamol, so wrong, bro. They had Kamol out here looking like Luca Kaneshiro, bro. If you know, you know. If you don't, just look it up. Then Day starts to gain his memory back, because stuff is just habit at that point, because it was so ingrained in his head. He remembers it but doesn't know he remembers it. Which was interesting to see.

Then Mac and Nan and their shit. Mac. I actually forgot that he sexually assaulted itt, and that's what started him and Nan's whole shitass relationship. Damn. I was talking about how I don't feel bad for him and saying that he deserves it. The way Mac was looking at Nan, bro, that's why he won't let you go. Stockholm syndrome vibes, fight the power, stop looking so in love.

"Personally, I'm not letting someone in with a wife beater, dunks, and a flannel beat me." That was my quote, and I stand by it to this day. Day starts to actually feel bad, and him hurting himself for hurting itt and also not remembering anything was his character development, lol. Then I make a joke about how Day thought the wall was his boyfriend because of the way he was beating it. That was a little too far, lol. Day continues to change for the better until he tries to drown Gear in episode 7. Then he starts to go backwards again. I would say he was just doing it to get an answer out of him, but he was actually trying to kill him. It wasn't even funny. He doesn't feel bad at all. Not one bit. Meanwhile, itt is collecting people like they collect Pokemon in that pond thing.

Nik and Neil were being cute with the reading and translating; that was so damn adorable, I couldn't Everyone starts to realize that the day is the same as the old day, besides itt. Day is the same guy who filmed that video; he hasn't changed one bit. Now that he loves itt, that doesn't mean he isn't the exact same as he was that day (get it).

That rando ass story near the waterfall gave me nightmares when I first heard it. It was so randomly placed, but I was so into the show that it gave me nightmares when I first watched it in the cut version. Day starts changing for the better, and he starts caring more again, sort of.

Then we get the crazy-ass flashback with the video and all of that. If I were day and I found that video, I would have deleted it and just gone on with my day (get it) and not told itt or anything if they brought it up. I would pretend to be surprised and then just say I still loved him, and if they didn't bring it back up, I would have taken that video to the grave with me.

And that's really it. stuff made more sense, but they are still just as abusive as they were in the cut version. Yeah, okay, I'm done with love syndrome for a while now. Okay bye!
