ToL's concept is really cute and pretty well executed. Does a great work making you empathize with the characters, or react to their behaviour, and the soundtrack is so good. Every episode has the title of a romantic movie, and not only the movie is named or referenced within the episode itself, but they even replicated the posters! ?

With that being said, let's go more in depth.

The representation of the women in this drama is not ideal. They are mostly a screaming crowd or seen more as a prize/object by MCs than anything else. Khai's gfs especially are either arrogant or psychos. That is, unless they are the love interest of one of the other boys. Both Lynn and Paan are smart and kind women, and Praew ends up telling Third the truth in ep 9. Still, not a good picture in general even if it's better than some others bl dramas we have.

CHARACTERS

Let's start from my favourite crybaby.

Third is someone easy to feel close to. He has an unrequited love for his best friend (even if HOW he came to fall for someone who constantly acts like a jerk is a mystery) and while I appreciate how he's super popular too, making it different from the usual "nerdy, 'insignificant' main secretly in love with the popular bff", the fact that he decides to give up on Khai at least once every other episodes but ends up always coming back.
Makes you terribly frustrated in the first half of the drama.
Just see what Khai does to him (and he does to himself) in the first 3 eps:

- EP1 Third buys 2 blackpink concert tickets (for Khai and himself) after Khai tells him how much he wants to go, camping and spending 12k ฿ just to discover that Khai found some on his own and he actually wanted them to be able to go with the girl of the moment.

- EP1 Khai suggests to go see a movie but later cancels saying that he has a family dinner. Third then bumps into him with a girl at the mall

- EP1 (Yes, STILL) Khai tells Third to give back to Milk her stuff, Third even defends him with her, before throwing her stuff away as Khai said. That is before they go back together and Khai tells him to go find Milk's stuff in the garbage and when Third comes back defeated and dirty for something he shouldn't even be doing in the first place, Khai only asks him "Are you sure everything's there? " and proceeds to close the door completely ignoring Third.

- EP3 Sexiled. Do we really have to talk about how Khai tells Third to go out so that he can do his stuff with the new girl and leaves him out FOR THE WHOLE NIGHT, unapologetic and completely unfazed?

So yes, you're both hurting for him and praying for him to just move on.


Khai, on the other hand, is obviously created to make you hate him with all you have for the entire first half of the drama.
He's a SHITTY friend to Third. Doesn't seem to care at all about him or his feelings. He sometimes randomly acts like a semi-decent person And that makes you even angrier, because it has on Third the same effect of a kidnapper showing basic human behaviour, like giving you food and water so you don't die on them. Third is grateful and hopeful and goes back to him again.
2 examples of this are when in ep2 he offers Third to go live with him - when and ONLY WHEN he sees there's no other solution. And let's remember Third is supposedly his best friend. And in ep 3 when he tells Third the iconic "With girls, I use my body. With you, I use my heart".
And it should be romantic, right?
WRONG.

Up untill this moment Khai almost NEVER shows any sign to even just respect Third as a human being, let alone his best friend. These words are not supported by facts and my only reaction was frustration because I knew Third would, Once again, refrain from moving on and go back to him.

BUT

Character development is a blessing and the second half of the drama shifts prospective, letting you see what changes Khai goes through.
Ngl, the change itself is a bit too sudden. I'm willing to believe that missing Third completely all of a sudden acted as a waking up call for him, but it's not really coherent with his character.

Nonetheless he starts working hard to make things better and becomes a better person. So much that you will feel bad for him against your own will.

Bone and Two are both good friends and good people in general. I'll talk about them again when analyzing the relationships, but I really appreciated both, especially Two who is funny, cute and helps Third a lot.
Also I'm whipped for White since Love Sick so there's that lol

RELATIONSHIPS

• KhaiThird

As I said, the start of their relationship is far from being the best. Khai is not even a good friend, let alone a good potential partner. Third clinging to anything remotely decent Khai says or does for him attests for how toxic the relationship is.
It starts like a mostly unilateral friendship on Third's side.
Khai comes up with 3 plans during the drama. I call them the "Jerk Plan", the "Oh-So-Stupid Plan" and the "Desperate Plan".
The Jerk Plan is "on" during the entire ep 4.
At the end of the episode you find out - disappointed but not surprised - that he was just testing Third to see if he had feelings for Khai.
Third's reaction is finally on point.
Right after that, at the end of ep 5 and for all ep 6, we see in action the "Oh-So-Stupid Plan" in which we find another pearl when Khai asks Third to be back being friends "like before" (So with you treating him like garbage? No, thanks) and then proceeds to finally treat Third good, only to fake being drunk and kiss him while calling a girl's name.
That hurts so much.

This genius plan is supposed to let Third move on and go back being just friends. Predictably the only result is Third disappearing for good.

The "Desperate Plan" consists in Khai going thru the list of his defects Third made and try to fix them all. It doesn't really work, but both we and Third appreciate the effort lol.

• TwoAun

For both the secondary couples, I appreciate the time and space they get. They are not rushed nor left without a conclusion unlike a lot of other dramas!

Two is a good character and the way his feelings for Aun change is well builded. Appreciate a lot his incapacity to lie and go behind Lynn's back. When he starts realizing he has feelings for Aun it's immediately obvious and the 2 of them TALK and even decide to remain friends. Healthy relationship and mature characters right there, people!
The way Aun appears at the beach in the last ep is a bit random, not gonna lie, but it's still a sweet moment, and Aun himself has the space needed to let the us know him and his story.

• BonePaan

Bone is the only one in the group who has a "sad" ending (even if he does get a girl at the end, just not "the" girl).
I'll be sincere and say that I mostly went thru his parts at 2x speed, I wasn't really engaged. But there are a couple of things I especially appreciated in his story.

He had the chance to take advantage of Paan and his fiancè' problems, but he choose to help them instead and since the moment he found out she was engaged, he's always been respectful of her and her relationship. Even if it meant give up on his love interest. I appreciate both the character and this choice to no end.

EXTRA

I can't NOT mention a few things before the end.

• THINGS MEH

- Checking Third's phone to find out what his relationship with Aun was. That's really not okay to do.

- Khai kissing Third in ep 8
That happens while Third is sleeping, and I really wish dramas could STOP with this trope. It's not romantic, it's not cute. It's forcing themselves on someone who is defenseless at the moment, which is creepy and NOT OKAY. Third's reaction to it is only justified and I'm glad he reacted that way!

• FUNNY THINGS

- I know it's supposed to be a sad moment, but every time Third cries in the shower has me cracking

- When Khai had an accident and Third heard his name called.
Eye just.... I'm sorry but that's just too much

- Love confession sketches ep 2
They were really cute and funny, so they deserve a special mention!

• THINGS I ESPECIALLY APPRECIATED

- Khai's friend.
I appreciate him suggesting Khai to take his time and understand well his feelings for Third before take any action. ??

- "Tell this story to the audience"
I find the whole conversation Third has with his P' at school really inspiring.
Often we stop ourselves from doing something, thinking what we want to do or talk/write about ecc might not be interesting. But in reality, we just need to be ourselves, that's good enough. People will resonate with our story and our passion.

- Final Love Confession.
I just like it a lot.

Achei finalmente o que estava procurando!

Bom por onde eu começo a falar sobre a minha experiência com Theory Of Love que por sinal foi fantástica!

Vou começar falando sobre como eu me envolvi com ele logo de cara. Eu estava assistindo um outro Bl o qual estava totalmente viciada, mas quando chegou perto do final (No penúltimo ep) eu decidi dar um tempo nele para nn ficar sem nada para ver e tbm para nn ficar mt triste por ter acabado tão rápido um Bl tão bom como aquele.

Foi aí que eu encontrei o Theory Of Love, eu originalmente comecei a assistir para ver se conseguiria distrair minha cabeça e nn pensar no outro 24h por dia. O meu objetivo inicial era assistir uns 3 ep de Theory Of Love e voltar para o fim do meu outro Bl para que quando eu acabasse o outro nn me sentisse tão sozinha, pq iria ter outra história para acompanhar. Como eu disse esse era o meu plano no começo mas acabou siando ao contrário kkkkk

Comecei a me envolver com Theory Of Love e fiquei tão encantada com a história que assisti mais alguns ep e quando me dei conta já estava perto do final e ainda nn tinha terminado o outro. Um Bl que eu comecei somente com o objetivo de me desviar do final do outro acabou se tornando um vício que acabou me levando até o dia de hj o qual estou escrevendo essa resenha. Eu terminei Theory Of Love mesmo sem ter terminado o outro que eu estava vendo antes, meu tiro saiu totalmente pela culatra kkkkkk

Agr falando sobre o pq desse Bl ter me conquistado:
*Narrações
*Historia bem desenvolvida
*Ritmo gostoso
*Personagens cativantes
*Osts contagiantes
(Ainda tem mt mais pontos positivos para falar sobre ele, mas vamos focar só nos principais motivos para ter me conquistado)

>>>

1_ EU AMO NARRAÇÕES, TIPO MUITO, MUITO MESMO
E assim que eu começo esse drama eu vejo várias narrações do Third de um jeito totalmente pessoal, SIM ERA ISSO QUE EU ESTAVA BUSCANDO!

Amo essa sensação de se sentir parte da história através de narrações. Eu me senti ligada com tudo o que aconteceu e me liguei com os sentimentos dos personagens. Me envolvi tanto com história que acabei tomando as dores do Third e acabei chorando em muitos momentos por conseguir sentir todo o mal que tudo aquilo fazia para ele.
Acho legal destacar que mais na metade do drama, o T para de narrar e quem começa é o Khai.

Achei superimportante termos essas duas visões da história, no começo vemos o T indo atrás do K e acabamos tomando as dores dele, já na metade começamos a ver o K indo atrás do T e sentindo as dores dele tbm.
Esse foi realmente o que mais me deixou feliz nessa história, eu pude me aventurar pelos sentimentos deles e me encantar com cada detalhe da história.

>>>

2_ O desenvolvimento da história foi algo que eu me encantei, além das narrações terem mudado de direção as cenas tbm mudaram. Então mais para a metade começamos a ver mt mais cenas do K do que do T.

Preciso nem falar que eu amei mt o desenvolvimento na hr que mudamos o foco dos personagens, confesso que fiquei morrendo de medo do T voltar correndo aos braços do K quando ele confessasse o seu amor. Mas nn foi isso que aconteceu, desde o começo vemos um personagem de opinião forte que mesmo amando o outro se coloca em primeiro lugar pensa se isso vai ser algo positivo, tomando cuidado para nn machucar a si mesmo novamente. Acho difícil encontrar isso nas cenas de hj em dia, mas eu adoro ver personagens empoderados que colocam a si mesmo em primeiro lugar!

Os jeitos como eles desenvolveram a história individuas dos outros personagens tbm me deixou maluca!
Tudo foi perfeito demais para ser verdade, eu confesso que shippei o Two com o P’um desde o início, mas mesmo assim o desenvolvimento deles como casal foi incrível o que acabou dando um belo Plot Twist.

Sobre o Bone e a professora, eu tbm amei como tudo foi desenvolvido! As coisas começaram bem devagar, mas não foi cansativo. Eu sempre apoiei e sempre vou apoiar história de amor que nn necessariamente dão certo, fico triste por ver poucas produções assim, mas as que conseguem fazer isso tem um lugar reservado no meu coração! É incrível o fato de vermos uma história de amor que nn termina com os casais “destinados” juntos no final. Interessante demais ver qua as coisas não são assim na vida real, nem sempre as coisas que vc planejou vão dar certo e tudo bem vc levar isso numa boa! E isso é algo mt bem retratado em Theory Of Love.

>>>

3_ O ritmo dele é incrível, todas as coisas acontecem na hora que devem acontecer. Eu nn vi nenhum furo enorme no roteiro ou algum ep em que me senti perdida. Também nn me senti com pressa em ver o desfecho logo, tudo se encaixou tão bem que foi realmente uma boa experiência assistir ele no meu tempo e com calma.

>>>

4_Personagens cativantes são tudo algo precisa ter para ser bom, como eu já disse anteriormente eu me envolvi muito com a história de cada um deles de maneiras diferentes. Conectada com a história de um jeito mt bom com as narrações. Mas mesmo aqueles que nn tiveram narração foram me conquistando aos poucos, nisso eu devo dar credito aos atores que fizeram um ótimo trabalho representando as emoções deles mt bem.

>>>

5_SOCORRO, QUE OST É AQUELA SENHOR?
Eu fiquei viciada em ver a parte final de todos os ep só para ouvir a música, eu amei ela em todos os sentimentos. Mas depois quando fui procurar a tradução fiquei mais emocionada ainda, a letra combina super com todos os acontecimentos e realmente expressa a dor em forma de som.
Essa letra me surpreende, pq acaba me deixando triste por lembrar de todas as coisas que aconteceram, mas mesmo assim consegue me deixar com o coração quentinho por ser uma melodia linda de se escutar com toques que me lembram bastante as batidas dos corações.

..........

Acabei com os meus pontos positivos e é nessa hr que eu detono tudo com os meus pontos negativos. Mas dessa vez eu nn consegui pensar em nada que pudesse ser classificado como algo negativo ou algo que me incomode na história.
Poderia mt bem dizer que o único ponto negativo é ter poucos episódios, mas assim eu estaria me contradizendo pq como eu disse antes, eu realmente amei o timing de Theory Of Love. O tempo em que todas as coisas aconteceram foi ótimo para mim, então não poderia desejar mais episódios.

>>>>>>>
Enfim, acho que por hj é só!
Se quiser assistir algo leve, divertido e que te faça rir e chorar ao mesmo tempo Theory Of Love é a escolha certa para vc!!!

Absolutamente maravillosa

La historia transcurre muy natural. Tiene momentos que te hace llorar de risa y algunos llorar de pena.
La actuación es maravillosa: los personajes sufren una evolución que puedes notar comparando el capítulo 1 con el 12.
La historia va desarrollandose poco a poco pero en una medida que te hace querer saber más y más. Los giros inesperados estan asegurados. Muchas de las cosas que suceden, pensaba que iban a ocurrir de una manera pero luego te soprenden. Saben como engancharte desde el momento 0.
Sinceramente, acabé este drama en dos días y me ha encantado.
Muy recomendable.

De los dramas boys love que he visto , este me ha gustado especialmente por la no exageración en el contacto físico entre las parejas y que muchos dramas BL tienen .
La química entre los protagonistas es buena .
La historia esta muy bien desarrollada y en cada capitulo lograba situarme en la posición de Thirm y como se sentía y después cuando se intercambiaron los papeles me paso lo mismo con Khai .
Ambos protagonistas muestran un avance en sus actitudes al paso del tiempo .
Y Las referencias de las películas hacen que te integres mas a la historia , sobre todo si las has visto .

o neném chorou

A cansativa e chorosa história do casal principal faz com que o drama fique bem insuportável, ver esse menino chorar tanto pelo outro me deu uma agonia extrema, essa serie é uma das series que eu realmente nunca assistiria outra vez. pecaram em não desenvolverem os casais secundários que tinham um potencial enorme visto que podemos ver uma quimica enorme entre o earth e o nawwat e em não diminuírem esse sofrimento todo, a história é boa, a atuação do nawwat salvou, mesmo a gente já sabendo que ele tem esse potencial desde de lovesick, a ost não é muito boa não, sinto que se a história tivesse sido um pouco mais estudada e aproveitada o drama seria muito melhor.

Not Worth the Hype.

Another "oops I fell in love with my bestfriend!" series? Yes. But where are the friends?

Be warned we spend the first half of this series just watching our main protagonist be heartbroken over his unrequited love, and at the end of this series we are left still asking, "why are they together?" What is most vexing about this series is that there is never any rationale given to us as to why our Third likes Kai so much, or even at all. It's like the series just decided to build the entire first half around why Kai sucks and entirely neglects why we should even root for Kai and Third to be together. Overall, this series feels really forced and the writers have no knack for romance or the development of story.

The MLM couples have zero chemistry all throughout the series, and the only "couple" who had any chemistry whatsoever doesn't get together.

This series is a waste of time.

It's emotionally taxing, but one of the best takes on BL in the industry.

I'll be very honest here. This one is emotionally taxing to watch. You might feel annoyed and frustrated with the characters and the storyline and how it seems so out of place with how cruel it can be toward any character, it might even be called 'toxic' in the first few episodes- a toxic friendship , but once you go on and watch the rest, one thing is for sure. [[[It might contain slight (nothing major from the storyline) spoilers. ]]]
That is, the more you want a particular character to get hurt, the more you feel bad inside and just want it to be over. One of the reasons why it's so emotionally exhausting. Also, what I truly believe is that Love is not about "redemption" or "vengeance". It's about feelings. And no matter how much you use your brain to weigh the situations, you canNOT ignore your feelings. No matter how much you're hurt, no matter how much you see the characters getting hurt, you won't feel any better until they finally have a good time together. So what I would say is to watch this while keeping all of this in mind. And at the same time, know that this story is about something so abstract that even the wisest of people won't be able to interpret it correctly. It's pure Love. Blooming from friendship - a toxic friendship.

Weird title but good drama

The earlier drama of Off-Gun. Let’s watch this….

Tell the story of 4 friends, but 3 kinds of love stories. All of them are students of filmology major and a member of the Savage Team, a team of students that do the school task with their own speciality. Third as the director & screenwriter, Khai as the sound guy, Two as the photographer & Bone as the editing guy. All of them are the top tier students that every girl has a crush on.

1st, Third & Khai.
Tell the story about Third who is secretly in love with his own best friend, Khai. Khai is a straight guy, who changes his girlfriend like he changes his clothes. Third, endure 3 years of friendship with Khai, seeing him flirting with many girls in front of his eyes. After 3 years, finally Third decided to snap out of his dream. But as people always said, talk is easier than action. Because although as easy as it is to fall in love, to stop is just as hard. And everytime Third wanted to give up his feelings for Khai, Khai did something sweet to him & made his heart flutter again. That is until one day Third learns a secret that breaks his heart completely.

But ironically when Third decides to stop his feelings & continue with his own life, Khai on the other hand just realizes his own feelings for Third and decides to start chasing Third. What will their relationship become…?

2nd, Two.
Two is a photographer guy that catches many girls' attention with his skill that makes the girl he takes pictures prettier. But it turns out, Two has a long crush with his high school friend, Lynn. But unfortunately, Lynn also has a long relationship with her boyfriend. One day, Two and Lynn meet again when Lynn becomes a model for Two’s photography class. And after that they start communicating again. One day, Two opportunities came when Lynn & her boyfriend broke up. But on the other hand, Two’s eyes also start to catch one senior that’s showing more attention to him. Who will Two choose in the end, Lynn or the senior…?

3rd, Bone.
Bone likes to flirt with a girl too, but unlike Khai, he's not a player. Bone work in the coffee shop. One day, he met Paan, when he's about to close the shop. But because he doesn't have her contract info, he waits for her everyday in the shop, until he even forgets about his classes & study. Because he never went to class, the new teacher almost failed him, but luckily Two warned him so that day Bone went to class just to find…. The woman in his dream, Paan, teaches the class. So what will happen with Bone & his teacher? Will he win Paan’s heart?

That's pretty much about the story without giving too many spoilers. Now what I like & don't like.

What I like:
+ The reality of Third and Khai relationships that most of us can rely on. Many of us are also that's stupid when it comes to love. And the cure is only one, get the hell away from that person & give urself activity to distract urself at first. And I love when Third really decided to give up, he makes himself busy.
+ U get to witness First hand Karma is b*tch. Haha… When it is time for Khai to chase after Third, he gets his own taste of karma….
+ How Khai really repents himself for Third. Sometimes I don't really believe the story of a playboy who changes himself for someone. But seeing Khai's effort really sincere.
+ The friendship between 4 of them. Especially when Bone & Two decided to side with Third instead of Khai…
+ It just doesn't ending with them graduation, hut a little peek about them in the work place & still as a team
+ No over the top s*x scene. Just some kiss here & there, even when they all already with their partner

What I don't too like:
- Seeing Third as a stupid man. But Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat is really one good actor, he can make us feel how painful Third is.

Overall this is a good drama to watch.

Below I'll write what I quite like and don't, but with SPOILER ALERT!!! So read it at your own risk!












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

+ Bone is really one good guy. He does the right thing with Paan & her boyfriend
+ In this drama we get to see, not all first love / long crush comes fruitful. And I also love the fact that Two is quite honest with Lynn when his feelings change. Although it's also quite pain to see Lynn when she's once again being betrayed by man who said he love her.
+ The funny thing about old drama, we can see one actor with another couple, not with their current ship/couple, that actually kinda surprised me with Thai BL. Of course I talk about Earth Pirapat Watthanasetsiri, seeing him doesn't partner up with Mix Sahaphap Wongratch quite catch me off guard.

- The bullshit accident. When someone crash that bad like Khai, it's kinda impossible to walk. Yet alone he can reach Third place. Yeah although i don't know how fat & how adrenaline can pump ur energy. Still BS thing

100k Slow Burn Angst

Let me just start by saying that I’ve watched this twice now. Not because I loved it, but because the first time I watched I really wasn’t impressed at all. I’ve heard so many great things and so I honestly just decided to give it another chance.
Needless to say, I liked it much better the second time, though it does still have some flaws that will keep it from ever becoming a favorite of mine.
The story itself is fine, I even like a good angsty unrequited love story when done right. Frankly, I think this would have been a pretty good title for this genre if the drama ended after the first time they got together. Unfortunately, there was a lot of needless drama that detracted from the initial feel good feelings that are much needed after all the angst. I think that was definitely my biggest complaint in the first watch.
An element of the plot that I felt was refreshing was the film student theme. While a college setting is pretty standard for BL, I don’t believe I’ve seen one with a focus on film students. I loved all the references to films and how their passions influenced their day-to-day. The promo pictures for each episode were also fantastic. Recreating iconic romance films with Third and Khai? Genuinely Brilliant.
The acting was great, especially from Gun. He really put in his all and man can that boy CRY. He’s great at evoking all those raw emotions, you really feel them. The rest of the cast was also pretty good, so literally no complaints there.
Third and Khai also had good chemistry, the show definitely benefitted from that fact that Off and Gun have worked together previously on Puppy Honey. It’s clear that they were comfortable acting together which removed the general awkwardness that sometimes arises in BL.
I think if you’re the type that can read 100k slow burn unrequited love stories, you’ll probably eat this up. I probably won’t watch again, but I don’t regret the second viewing.

How do you flop a romcom motif?

I’m just baffled at how you reference so many romcoms (ie, have posters that reference iconic romcom posters, have episode titles that are iconic romcom tropes) and STILL create such a mid series. OffGun’s chemistry is fine enough but KhaiThird? Absolutely not!! How do you create a romcom where you are yelling at the screen every chance you get foe the main characters NOT to end up together? I sometimes felt I was in the wrong for judging Khai so harshly when we are viewing the series from Third’s POV. But then he would do something on screen that is terrible regardless the POV! Anyway, cool concept, unlikeable characters.

"Now I know that love is not beautiful flowers, not luxurious locations, but the sincerity you've given me."

Let me start off by saying that I went into this knowing that Khai was a complete asshole, and that somehow helped me keep an open mind about his character. I do wish we had delved more into his character as to why he didn't believe in love, but they never really touched on that.

What I do appreciate about this drama is the topics of love it touched on.

You have Khai and Third, the latter of which is in love with his best friend Khai for with no real reasons given. To be blunt Khai is a player and a jackass and throughout the first half of the story, I felt that Third deserved someone a lot better. Third even acknowledges that he hates being in love with his best friend because it consistently hurts him. But this a real situation and people don't always choose who they love. I appreciate the growth between these two and that Third does actually stand up for himself several times, eventually leading to him doing his best to get over Khai. I do wish Khai's character had realized and tried to change his ways before he fell in love with Third, but I guess better late than never. The growth of his character is sweet, and he does get his comeuppance several times, eventually realizing exactly how Third felt all the times Khai had been an ass.

I really liked Two and Lynn together, they were sweet and fresh. I wouldn't have minded those two becoming a couple, but Two falling in love with P'un along the way added something nice as well. I would have liked to see more of them on screen, but they were obviously put second to the other drama going on.

I could have completely skipped past the teacher and student relationship, but I think they put that in to show the watcher that sometimes if you love someone, you let them go for their happiness. (Maybe I'm just reading into it, lol) Bone did get his happiness at the last second which was nice.

The friendship between the four of these guys was honestly the best. Two and Bone, even though they had their own drama going on, still weighed in and were supportive of the two. They obviously wanted the two to be happy, whether apart or together, and were just good friends. They also acknowledge that Khai is the jackass. It is never ignored in this series that Khai's habits are awful.

I enjoyed this drama for what it was trying to convey and liked the relationships between the characters even if they themselves were annoying at times. People aren't perfect, but sometimes they deserve another chance. The chemistry is what I stayed for in this drama.

"I used to think that we were born alone so we shall die alone. Because we can't choose, we have to learn to live alone. But now I know, while we're still alive, we can choose whom to be with."

Story - 8.5/10
At first i thought it will be a boring there's a time that i really want to drop this show but i always finish what i started. It was so sad that is how i like this series because i felt the sadness that this series want to gave to me. The train scene got me cried i felt the sadness of Khai even though he's the one who disregard the love that Third gives. But this series keep strong till the end but it feels like heavy drama is the theme of this series. The student and teacher relationship was one of the worse ideas i have encountered on this genre but it's good that they ditched it.

Acting/Cast - 9/10
I don't think that Gun was really good at this making people feel sad he really pull it over. Off was really good at this series because he transform from a chickboy to a loyal partner the acting was so precise and on point but there where some cringey parts but i think it's supposed to be there.

Music - 7/10
I think the music is good but i cant remember what is the tune because it is rarely use at this series.

Rewatch Value --5/10
It is only one usage because it's kinda boring when i first watch it. But it's kinda good just make your own review.
