I wanna focus on what i love the most, and it's no doubt Mark's acting. Love by Chance surprised me in 2018 not because of the series itself, but because at that point in time, i had yet to see a thai bl with so many talented actors, rookies with a lot of talent and room for improvement that took the gig seriously. Mark was the one that caught my eye the most along with the main iconic couple. I have been watching him grow since then, taking roles that each one is a completely 180 from the last and expresing the characters inner strugles beautifully. He knows how to convey fellings, specially with his no verbal acting game. Kudos to him, hope he will land more roles steadely and challenge himself, because i at least see the potential and how he is on the list of naturally talented actors that work in bl.

I see you and yes of course you can give your opinion, this place is for that and nobody is entitled to tell others otherwise. That's what i don't find right, when the coments are beliteling others POV or telling them that they should go and stop watching the show if they have criticisms about it or don't like some aspects of it. We all can agree to disagree or debate, that's great and the point of this section.

For me the thing is, one can like slow burn romance and still feel like this series is slow in a bad way. If you read most of the longer and well constructed critiques, people generally are complaining not only about being slow paced in the romance department, but with every plot development and story telling, and specially the acting, deliver of the lines and camera work, feeling like at many points it goes in slow motion (this last bit resonates with me, because even if i know what the director wanted, i still feel like is not done in an appealling way, and knowing Mark's acting skills, i feel like it's a waste) . You can even see the good points of the show (if we all came is because we liked the premise and had hopes to enjoy it, even now, there's still things to enjoy and room for improvement and surprises) and still be let down and see bad points as well.
One should take the feedback as people that wish the best for the show and wanna see everyone and everything involved improve in their own personal lense and criteria.
Lastly this is a comment section, so people are entitled to give their feedback as they feel, you can agree or disagree, debate or not, like it or not, but people can still give their two cents anyway.
PS. I have yet to watch today's episode and see how i personally feel about this last one.

You can bet that we are reading it with the perfect japanese like intonation

There was a show before (and novel) called that way. All the main actors (all are from the same agency in real life) are the same, so are their characters, names and all, but the story is not completely following that one. Is like a parallel universe, a bad one. The main partner of the main guy isn't in GenY either. Basically, trying to make a new ship for him and finding a way to close the 2moons love story they made a hideous thing.
There's actually a 2moons 2 series but they changed the entire cast and followed the actual second novel. Is all a mess haha

Call me meticulous, but i will never understand why the airing tag and the countdown timer disappear when the last day starts and not when the clock gets to 0 minutes and the last episode truly stars.

I need therapy in order to make terms with the fact that it exists. If you have spare coin to buy a new laptop/tv after you throw yours outside the window in order to stop that nonsense nightmare that destroyed the litle good that 2moons did.... maybe.
Jokes aside, obviously saw worse things out there (Worth the wait is the president of the bl nightmare comitee) but the series was just a sad and poorly done atempt to milk the 2moons cow calling it a different name and having 10 monkeys as screenwritters. And the main story love was broken into pieces in a nonsense of loops. Is that bad that i had to warn you haha

Hope that GMMTV keeps raising the bar for their dramas and SPECIALLY demanding more from their screenwritting game.
God of BL, make this great, give Ohm something good to work with, at least half as good as his acting skills, amen. See you next week.

You come to my memory very often. We were close in age and i grew up watching your works and you being one of my most beloved japanese actors since high school.
Still have your smiling face engraved in my mind as a totally clear picture. I just wish you had a lot of those real smiles during your life and hope you are resting in peace. Thank you for existing.

After episode 11, i started skipping a lot of scenes and focused mostly on Ou Wen and Mark. So that's why i will just focus my POV on their story.

At the beggining I LOVED Ou Wen as a character, he was powerful, honest, sure of himself and his masculinity... He said important stuff that should be preached, like "why a gay man cannot be manlier than you?" or "i am gay but i have standards" . I felt that the second part of the series focussed more on his vulnerable side, but he was still very level headed with a lot of stuff, such as how he made Mark understand the reality and mindset of his parents after learning that his son is with a man.
They are supercute together, but after the sweet and interesting building up, i wished that it went a bit less comical and more emotional at some points, and MOST IMPORTANTLY, i wished to witness much more love and development between them, i'm talking about intensity of bonding and emotions, not sexual (not that i would mind but is not what i missed). Like, what the actual, we even got to know that they were living together randomly when Ou Wen needed Joanna to get his laundry insided of their flat. They take us there abruptly, without getting to see how that happened. And then they had the pregnancy issue. I missed the progress and the peace of the story completely, and when they enganged i was happy but felt again that we jumped a lot of important development, like if i jumped episodes and that's why i'm missing things.
For me this was terrible writting. You want people to be invested, in the characters, their relationships... And for those IT moments to move us as they should, you have to be showing us the development, small moments that mean a lot... Not jump out of the blue from sex to baby to house to marriage, bye.

Overall, is sad that they didn't had more screen time and development between important moments. Still super iconic start and couple, i will miss them but all the lack of development made me be less invested and sad that it's over than what i predicted to.

Is a sweet short ride, worth it for a sweet sunday binge with ice cream and pizza on the side, but you don't really get all that much from it.
I never got really invested in their love story or gave me butterflies. I don't care about what happens next, and i don't feel a sense of sandness after it's over.
Honestly, Eun Gyu felt kdrama style overdramatic, and that's a bit of a turn off for me even when the hottest kdrama oppas do it LOL
Is still a decent show, just don't expect anything beyond that.

Facts. To my star is still my Kbl queen.

Totally with you. Is a sweet short ride but you don't really get invested. I don't care about what happens next, and i don't feel a sense of sandness after it's over. Honestly, Eun Gyu felt kdrama style overdramatic, and that's a bit of a turn off for me even with the hottest kdrama oppas LOL

Every kbl that i saw the movie version is just the series compiled but who knows. I loved what they did with the Japanesse Life: Love on the line, the series ended in their 40's but the movie added a couple of scenes that explored their 80's and end of their lives, walking together their forever line. Very fitting.

About the look alikes... A bit? haha for me they look alike and don't at the same time. It's like, the vibe and overall struture is the same, specially the eyes, but at the same time i can clearly see what differs between them. Same thing happens to me with Mix from ATOTS and BTS's Jin, their structure and the feel they have is similar in my eyes.
Let me just droll a bit and get inmersed in my Bangkok memories while i say that, New is even more handsome in real life than what he looks like on TV., if that's humanly possible.

Just right above you, on recent discussions you have the official links.

Thank You! That's exactly the issue here. They could have told the 7 episodes in 2 or 3, but in those 2 series they could have more episodes and still work (but it's perfect the way it was done).
I was thinking to myself that if at least they had the kind of tension moments that make you scream and live for their chemistry... And their long stares are somewhat dull, like, specially Mark is very good at acting those things, but here i don't see the vibe between them as special. I love staring, like, i could die when Pupa and Tian looked at each others in ATOTS, their loving eyes consumed me, and truth to be told, the majority of us loved this series a lot, a series where there's only a single sweet kiss at the end. Why? because there was an story, deepness, slow burn romance ticking all the boxes... And let's not even start with ITSAY, because we could write a thesis about how amazingly that slow burn romance was made. It really bothers me when this people think that wanting love between the characters of a romantic series is wrong or we are just thirsty whores that want to see them dancing the tango. Porn exist for a reason, and love stories too. Love stories can have sex and still be beautifully told, and they can omit those and still be amazing, is not the issue here.
For me here there's a lack of plot and the dragging is making it bland instead of romantic. But i do think that the acting is quite nice, and of course, the food.

I see them grab a bite but i see no BITE ME.
BTS's Jin jokes aside, the dragging is making it bland instead of romantic. We need development.

For me, after the break (ep 11) feels like they didn't knew how to keep the story intresting and they made poor plot choices, specially with the main couple. Many things and actions also feel out of character, some major changes in their minds are way too sudden... and overall they just complicate their lifes stupidly.
The good thing for you is that you haven't been here week by week and months without a continuation, maybe it won't feel as boring and disappointing to you.

Agree, as of now is not something out of this world, but ot looks like an ok series (only watched 2 full episodes so far). The long stares trying to hypnotize each others or read each others minds still don't bother me that much.

I thought that this one had potential to cure a bit my bl depression after IPYTM, but the comments lowered my hopes dramaticallly. I guess i'll find out now.

Man, this went so crazily downhill... sad. Let's wrap it up faster.
