I was very excited at first when this was announced because finally, our boy JJ will finally have a main role credit under his profile here and the main actors who are quite new seem promising, BUT, it turns out, this is just one of those BL series made to launch an actor to the BL industry, and to make money for the concerned production companies. The story is quite promising and interesting given the fact that it's very generic, but I feel like the production failed to give justice to how the story was executed and unfolded. At first, I was very giddy because I thought Pawin and Marc are very cute together but later on, I got bored. You know, it has been past half the season and they are still in high school bickering about nonsensical things. Like hello, you only have 12 episodes so you might as well use that shortage to take things like an intense roller coaster ride but with what I have seen, I felt like I was also riding a roller coaster... but with only 1mph speed. You know how that feels. I also felt like I went to a horror house where the ghouls are very corny and not even funny. I will not mind if the events in the show will unfold hastily, that's fine, as long as the experience was given justice but with My gear and Your Gown, I felt ripped from my WeTV subscription. Also, I felt that the twist in the story where Itt was actually Student Number 900something who would antagonize Pai upfront was actually secretly rooting and loving him; I felt that that was a good twist, even though again it's quite generic (some things don't get old you know) but for me, they failed big in relaying effectively that part. That's where I get the title of this review LOUSY! It lacked creativity and tackiness. They could have done something better for that and have told that part of the story in a way that will take the audiences' breath away. I normally get past lapses in a show/series that I watch and appreciate what's good but I just can't forgo this one. I think this series has a pretty good message: teaching people safe sex and monogamy to prevent STDs, the importance of education, the importance of parent's support and understanding a queer child, and a lot more but again, I felt that the production failed to relay these important takeaways EFFECTIVELY! In the show, there would be scenes that don't make sense, there are also events that aren't sequenced logically. I FELT THAT EVERYTHING IN THIS SERIES FAILED IN EVERY ASPECT OF EVERYTHING THEY HOPED THAT THIS WOULD TURN OUT TO BE except to introduce Marc Pahun and Win Pawin as new and upcoming BL names. I liked more how Pawin's character in The Stranded was designed and executed.
Also, I felt that the ships in this show are forced. It's like food that you don't like that your mom keeps on shoving to your throat otherwise bad things will happen. I felt that way with how they chose pairings for loveteams in this series in short, there was no enough chemistry to make things work. JJ and Neen's pairing was cringy. Like, there are ships like them; an older girl and a younger boy, but this one's a wreck plus JJ's acting hasn't improved. It's still very obvious plus the trying hard yet funny English words that he is trying to blurt out are very ridiculous. Fiat and Aun's couple also is quite weird on-screen. It just didn't work. The fuck boy who suddenly took interest to a perfectly good boy vibes? I get that, but, again, there is something off with how they interact---no chemistry maybe? Finally, Marc and Win who at first is giving that generic BL couple progress, enemies at first, lovers in the end but with how slow their story went, the chemistry got lost somewhere before the middle season until it turned out bland. This is also my feelings towards how they ended the show. I felt like the ending is very bland, awkward, and useless. They should have just hurt us by making Itt and Pai separate because Pai can't get over with pressure and expect for a season 2. That would be more acceptable than an expedited ending. It seems like they just made everything right there and then without a clear storyline because everything is 'shittyly' done. And I just need to take this off my chest and sorry for mentioning this but I think the way Win cried in front of his parents during that scene at the table is very cringy and appalling. Having said that, every character acting in this show, except for Neen and Fiat's, needs a whole lot of improvement. Over-all, my expectations failed me just as how A Chance to Love failed also at giving LBC a sequel. I know that these shows were announced together as a joint project with WeTV but turns out, the way they told both stories was very lousy and crappy.
PS: I will edit this review if ever I can think of good things to point out about this series.
Michael (Jay) is just the cutest. I easily fell for him when he first appeared in My Oxygen. Can anyone tell me what episode did he appeared in Love Sick 2?
Yeah! Imagine him picking u up from school with that cute trailer! Damn, must be amazing rideeeeeeeee T.T
Have u seen episode 4? When he wiped a saliva from crying Billkin's lips and hugged him after to comfort him? I thought that is so sweet. I want a P' like that <3
I'm in tears!!! This show touches (me) hardly... I especially liked that that letting-go cathartic dance of Arki, that would compete as one of the best BL scenes to have been taped. You know, it's just the right amount of everything, romance, photography, etc. but it bigtime screams freedom, self-love, and happiness. I didn't regret why I just watched it now; I get to binge-watch it and now I'm so freakin full of the emotions and vibes this show exudes. I hope this series will have more episodes or another season.
Goooooooooooood!!! We're already on the 10th episode and it seems like everything moves soooooooo slowly... Like what are those side couples for? Are you planning to make a separate series for them? I know that they have separate books but why so slooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwwww????
I share your sentiments regarding this series kun! I know I had to like the main couple Boon/Deun because they are the main couple and the story is about them but I just can't seem to feel their ship. Like there are lots of things going on in their story that doesn't add up nor makes sense. I was actually low-key rooting for the side couples like Lay and Perth's character (King and Ram) I felt like they have more chemistry than Bonn/Deun and their story is quite interesting too. I also like Mek and Boss' story. It's very cute and is very interesting. God forgive me for not liking Bonn and Deun's ship....
I am here for RamKing and RamKing only you can throw all the other characters under the bus for all i care. RamKing…
I low-key feel the same dude. I know I had to like Bonn and Deun coz they're the main ship in this series but I just don't get that vibe from them compared to Lay and Perth's chemistry (King and Ram). Mek and Boss' couple too, I am more interested in their story compared to the main couple...
12 USD just to rent an episode is too much!!! I mean, I don't mind paying for a premium just to watch and support my favorite actors but 12USD to rent an episode is too cruel!!!! I have been looking forward for this series because I love Bilkinn and PP so much that I even saved up in-case their next series will be streamed in a paid platform but c'mon!!! 12 US dollars??? Khun ja baa lor??????
Yesterday I was so happy coz I saw the trailer for the first time but now???? urghhh!
Hoiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.... PUTANGINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA... naiyak ako sa tuwa!!! Bukas na sa wakas........................................................ Iba talaga pag si Billkin kumanta, kahit wala akong naiintindihan, PUTANGINAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, tumagos sa puso ko................ I got goosebumps the whole time watching this trailer, it's like WATCHING POEM, HEARING LOVE LETTERS AND THE PLOT PUTANGINAAAAAAAAAAAAA, ANG NOSTALGIC...
Pisteeeeeeee!!! This series is top-notch hilarious! The plot and scenes were stitched-up together nicely (I mean, almost---there were scenes that were abruptly cut) Max and Tul are just the hottest couple so far, for me. Can't get over with the fact that the series started-off with a steaming bed scene. I was caught off-guard (was dumbfounded for awhile there)The sound effects, oh my goshhhh, the sound effects are perfectly hilarious; can't stop laughing at them. Whoever thought of putting them in there is a genius! I hope they still have that in season 2 (I will not watch season 2 immediately so as to give myself time to cherish my experience with the 1st season) This series is just so nice and can't help but ask myself, where have I been in all these years? I love all the characters in this series except for that bitch Pleng....
Max and Tul are just the hottest especially Tul...I think I found my man. Forgive me for the audacity but the man is just so irresistible (He's the perfect man for me so far in the many Yaoi shows that I've watched) Hayyyy Tul... His eyes? DOn't even get me started with how beautiful his eyes are.
Yiwha??? My god, that bitch is my spirit animal. I want to be friends with her.
Bhu is that scruffy boy that you don't mind hooking up with because you know for a fact that physical appearance does not always reflect who you are on the inside. I'm in love with Tul but Bhu--- I don't mind becoming his concubine :P
I am just sad because of how C'game's character Farm ended up to be a player also. You know, he started off to be so fragile and sweet and pure and such a baby. My heart always melts whenever it's him on the screen doing his gullible things. I wanna take care of him. Thank goodness he didn't end up with that man slut doctor. He doesn't deserve Farm you know. Though Farm became a player also, at least we have that consolation that they didn't end up together.
So far I am very pleased with this show. Looking forward to watch the 2nd season season, prolly going to watch it next week or if I can't contain myself, maybe tomorrow. I don't know :P
QUESTION: is it true that Max and Tul are a couple in real life?
