Script's a mess, but we still love JoongDunk
With all due respect, and retaining our love for JoongDunk; the show made little sense storywise. I haven't read the novel, probably half of what's wrong could be blamed on it.The characters' choices made no sense. While their friends were literally dying, the remaining guys continued living their normal lives, going outside alone etc. as if someone's car was stolen or just a house burned down.
The killers never left anyone alive after choosing T or D, and everyone still believed they won't be murdered.
The ending was the biggest mess. Why are there only two policemen on the scene in the last ep? The big grown-ass man Kamin pointing a gun at Fai, but unable to knock out the small girl? Why is Jay outside and safe, but then suddenly kidnapped again to be burned?
Screenwriters should have gone with simpler solutions.
It's 8 stars from me solely for the humour, love and JoongDunk in the series. Heart killers was their better work, it made more sense. Cheers.

Enough of that shy high-school rubbish
Having gone through around 30 BL-s: Love Sea is one of the few that I'd want to rewatch someday. I'm just too old for that high-school romance, but Love Sea is about a mature romance and it delivers exactly that. By now FortPeat is my solid favourite BL couple, cause I just love them both in unapologetically hot roles.The humour in the series is lovely! If a show doesn't have a couple of laugh-out-loud moments, then it's no good. And all these asian bl dramas have a couple of cringe cliché moments as does this show. But altogether an extremely enjoyable show. Thanks to MAME and FortPeat for this gem.
P.S. the female couple did nothing for me though, they could've just been omitted.

Does what it says and delivers what's promised
It's a lighthearted romantic comedy from start to finish and it does just that—lightens up the mood and makes you believe in fairy-tales for a couple of hours.You obviously don't watch it for a deep plot or a hidden meaning. Compared to many similar rom coms, it was fully executed: the conflict, the humour, the chemistry, the closure—everything's there.
For me personally, JuMark is one of ~3 pairings in BL industry, who can satisfy a viewer even without a NC scene (and I'm a big fan of good NC scenes). If it were others, I would've felt robbed, but with these guys I'm down for the cute bubbly vibe.
And again, I appreciate GMM Thee V for making another series that includes mature love without the student tropes 😌👍
Kudos to OhmPoon—a pairing we didn't know we needed, but we were seated for it during the whole show.
