Title Bad Buddy
After watching the series couple of times, I think I started to feel frustrated from Pran Behavior, suddenly I…
I kind of agree with this. From what we've seen so far, Pran is the one who seems to always walk away first. This may be that his nature is non-confrontational. OR, it might be that Pran recognizes that when he does walk away, it affects Pat. Pran seems to know more about what gets to Pat, than the other way around. Take the song for instance. Pran had to know that playing it would have an effect on Pat (remember the way Pran looked at Pat just before and during the song, hmmm). Then, later on the roof, Pran referred to the song as a "little thing," probably knowing it would get to him even more, finally breaking down that wall of Pat's. Hmmm!

Title Bad Buddy
I'm in agreement with all the comments. However, I'm just sooooo glad that the director didn't take us down that "wifey/hubby" trope trail. Pat and Pran used "wifey" as playful flirtation between them, which I thought was totally okay.

Many posts centered around the Mark/Ou Wen relationship. Many posters commented that the couple needed more screen time. Some posters commented that some of the plot development was lacking or missing. And, a great many posters commented that they should get their own series. Well, tbh, I agree with all of the posters' comments. YES, they should've had more screen time. YES, at times the plot development between the two was a little disjointed. And, YES, I think they should get their own series.

However, I also believe that their portions of the series were fairly well done (for what they had). The relationship addressed some pretty complicated issues, such as single pregnancy/parenthood, family, and acceptance of LGBTQ+ members. Yes, the production could've done more with the plot. But, I think the Mark/Ou Wen story touched many folks' hearts (it certainly touched mine, especially with that proposal). And also tbh, if this series (and not a separate series with Mark and Ou Wen as the mains) had concentrated more on Mark/Ou Wen storyline, especially with all the rest of the couples and issues, I'm not sure Mark/Ou Wen's story would've been as good. It was short enough to tell a love story, but just long enough for us to want more (like their own series). Just one person's opinions.

P.S. With the success this series has received, as well as the notoriety the Mark/Ou Wen story has garnered, I would not be surprised that a Love is Science 2 (focusing on the continuing Mark/Ou Wen story) isn't being discussed right now.

Cool. I've been concentrating more on the Taiwanese BLs. I've started liking them a bit more than the Thai BLs.

Yeah, the only follow-up was the card sent to them from Mark (with a picture of the baby's sonogram). Actually, I thought that was a really kind and considerate gesture.

P.S. The Mark proposal to Ou Wen made even me shed a little tear. Sorry, at times, I'm just a softy.

I'd say no. But, you might find it ok, when there's nothing else to watch. P. S. Quality bl's are getting harder to find, IMO.

Have you watched all of this BL, Stranger's Kiss? LMBO! That's the main plot of this bl, and it's hilarious, IMO. There is one other bl that had a similar plot. But, I can't think of it now. But, what I do remember is that it was a Vietnamese bl. I believe it was "Nation's Brother." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bM3vowhu8H8.

Okay. So the pace of the main couple (Hsuan Yu/Yan Fei) was a little slow in the beginning. But, they finally got to where they wanted to be. Part of being in a loving, healthy relationship is really knowing your partner and allowing him/her to succeed or fail on their own, but be there for support. I liked how they resolved the issues with the older couple (You Fu/Cho Nai). Believe it or not, many halves of a couple will pick up and move to where their loved one is to be near them and make a relationship or marriage work.

Now, for Mark/Ou Wen, although their romance was rather quick, it's totally possible to fall in love based on a series of incidents. First, they battled homophobia and stereotypes. Then, each came to the rescue of the other in a selfless act showing care and concern. Finally, both recognize (albeit not exactly at the same time) there is a mutual attraction and try to resolve those feelings. Yes, it still is the classic enemies-to-lovers trope. However, it is at least done with a little fun and romance, especially seeing what lengths each is willing to go to for the other, showing that opposites can actually attract.

Basically, it was a fairly good ending to an okay series, that had its ups and downs, but still managed to entertain, and occasionally touch our hearts. If I were to give it a rating, I wouldn't have a problem giving it an 8/10. The one thing I really missed, in the end, is one last "Little Piggy's Diary." That would've been too cool.

"Lack of consideration"? I don't know if you are queer yourself, but this is something really you can only understand…
Agreed.

I kind of agree with you, also. I took ADfan13's post to mean that she liked the way that the character "Ou Wen" explained that sometimes it can be a challenge for parents to just love and accept their children who are lgbtq+. Personally, I know there were challenges in our family, and I'm not a member of the lgbtq+ community. But, my younger brother is. And, one of the challenges we faced included worrying about our brother in a world that's not always accepting.

It's irritating honestly, like when did everyone decide that being gay is something someone is supposed to apologies…

I am getting a bit sick of Asain shows constantly coming up with excuses for abusive and homophobic reactions…
Although many of the Asiatic cultures are pretty modern with regards to technology, social media, lifestyles, etc. Many of them still tend to be very "traditional" regarding family issues, such as the roles of women, attitudes towards elders, role of respect in the family hierarchy, etc. , probably much more so than in Western cultures. And, although lgbtq+ individuals have been a part of the Asian culture for centuries, unfortunately so have many of the negative attitudes regarding lgbtq+ people.

I also wanted to say that I was super happy to see Ou-Wen explain some of the parents challenges with a gay child.…
I can agree with this.

I agree with everything you said. I like the older couple and Mark, Ouwen and Joanna.
The mains aren't bad, IMO. I just think that their storyline kind of dragged as compared to the other two storylines. If they do a Love is Science 2, they'll need to beef up the storyline of the mains. Again, IMO. LoL!

Wow! What an episode! Although You Fu and Mrs. Cho seemed to be making things work, I'm curious to see how their story is ultimately resolved. Does she move to Yulin, does he moved to Taipei (when he's already stated he couldn't leave his parents)? I liked the "resolution between Sheng Ying and her "ex." Best friends do not always become lovers. And, you can learn to forgive a best friend, whom you thought wronged you. Finally, Mark, Ou Wen, and Joanna! Their storyline seems to just be getting better and better. This is 'real" drama. For some strange reason, I'm hoping that they maintain a little of that drama as they try to resolve this "family triangle." The previews for next week regarding their scenes seem pretty awesome. I can't wait. And, definitely, the production company needs a Love is Science 2.

I kind of like Joanna. When she first appeared in the series, she was shown to be stuck-up, flirty, a bit trampy,…
Yeah, I guess in the BL cuts she does appear that way. However, in the other cuts, you really do get to see a different side of Joanna, which kind of surprised me, especially of her support for Mark and Ou Wen's relationship, which she figures out quite quickly. LOL

I'm not sure about any of you. But, my favorite parts of this series are the storyline between Mark, Ou Wen and Joanna, and Little Piggy's Love Diary. LMBO!!
