I realize the production company is trying to capture the "spark" that made the original Lovesick so charming. But, there's something cringy about this series and this is just the first ep. IMO, I think the production company is trying too hard to make it "just" like the original -- the only problem is the original was 10 years ago and MUCH has changed in the BL industry, as well as in Thailand. Allow the updated version of Lovesick reflect those changes and not just rely on outdated tropes and stereotypes

Okay. I get that this was a "different" BL and that may be part of the reason so many liked it. For me, it was still a bit disjointed, going from reality to the 4-minute other reality. The last episode did tie up most of the loose ends, so I guess that's okay as well. This series should probably be classified more in the category of a "psychological thriller." Because that's how this series felt to me. Sammon, the screenwriter must either have a good imagination or be really psychotic! LMFAO!

P.S. I still liked it though!!!! LOL!

Great first ep! It's nice to see War and Yin in more adult roles. I guess we'll have to see if the series will be as good as its first ep.

I'm not sure what to make of this freaking series!!! It's messed up, it's campy, it's totally non-sensical, it's really sensual, it's totally sexy, it's mysterious, it's making my head spend with everything that's going on, and even with all that, I still like it. I'd like even more, IF I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT THE F*CK I WAS WATCHING! LMFAO!!!!

Interesting theory!! It makes alot of sense. Thanks!

The plot of this series is all over the place!!! The ep. unto itself was great. But I fail to see how it meshes with the previous eps, unless this is the "alter-universe" version of the ep. Then again, who knows????

Exactly! Agreed!

You make some very valid points and on those I must agree. However, we will simply have to agree to disagree on the rest. But, this has been an interesting chat and my apologies if my first response sounded a little curt it was not intended to be so.

My intent was to clarify that in many BLs and in this one particularly, the lgbtq+ character stereotypically is viewed as "weak," "not self-confident," and "generally introverted," etc., Consequently, their "love interest" or potential love interest seems to always stereotypically be the polar opposites to the descriptors I just noted. I realize that these types of tropes are popular and extremely common in BLs, especially Thai Bls. But, it doesn't have to be, such as the mains in KinnPorsche, Not Me etc.

It has been wonderful "debating" with you. Hope to do so again, I like the way you think and express yourself.

Agree!

If that's true, I withdraw my comments. Thank you.

P.S. Every since HIStory 4 (Charles Tu was a lead in that one too), Taiwanese BLs seem to be showcasing some "unique" plots. I'm not sure that's good or bad. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

I know I'll get hate responses. But, WTF! Yes, the story is fictional, but damn it! Why couldn't the producers at least made the "kiddo" a HS senior! The fact that a HS sophomore is serving alcoholic drinks may be a cultural thing. But, come on, a love story between a mid/late twenty-something and a HS sophomore is just a bit much! As much as I might like watching this, nope this isn't my thing. I'm dropping it. I may be back if they have a season 2, when Sea has graduated HS. LMFAO!

I get it. Many folks like the sex and the action adventure. But 4 eps. in, the plot of this series is all over the place! I think it's because we've not been given enough of the backstory.

This was a much better BL series than Daou and Offroad's previous venture. IMO, this series had good acting, balanced characters, a little humor, a little nostalgia, and a fairly decent plot. I say BRAVO!

To answer your question, "no." I disagree with your opinion about hypersensitivity, as well as the complexes. However, you've the right to your opinions and unlike you I'll show you respect for yours. But, as it refers to this series in particular, most (if not all) the characters portrayed have strong personalities, except for Thi (the lgbtq+ character). Hmm, isn't that interesting. Also, btw, being strong or weak dosen't have to always mean power or physicality. It can also mean self-esteem or inner strength, self-confidence, etc. You may also want to ask yourself what complexes you may have.

Agreed!

I'm not really sure if I saw the cut or uncut versions? Ep. 1 was about 48 minutes and ep. 2 was about 51 minutes if that helps. However, I must agree with Yim's acting being much better in this series. However, he's again playing a "boob-like/clueless" character. And maybe if the show had gotten away from some of the usual stereotypes and tropes, Yim's character might not have seemed so boob-like or clueless. However, I don't mind being wrong on this, LOL!

I'm still trying to figure out this BL. It has the usual tropes and stereotypes, some creepy cringy stuff, a little comedy, a little mystery, and some sex. Even with all of that, eps. 1 and 2 didn't make much sense to me. I think I'm going wait until ep. 7 or 8 then binge it.

Agreed!

I'm thinking the plot twist is that it's going to be someone close to Tonkla. I think this because the killing was with sooooo much rage! That kind of rage only comes from being betrayed by someone you trust. Even if Korn didn't directly kill Tonkla's brother, he may have known about it or even ordered it done. Something like that.
