This exceeded all my expectations for watching dramas. The storytelling, the character arcs, the soundtrack all really just were so well put together. It didn't seem cheesy or too unrealistic. Would watch again even though the first few episodes make me want to have a fistfight with Khai. This also brings me to the absolute depth each actor brings to the character, P'Off portrays Khai's character arc so believably I hesitantly began to root for Khai in the second half. And P'Gun's endless crying scenes genuinely stirred something in my heart! And those who have watched the series will definitely know what the train station scene felt like, heart-wrenchingly angsty.
I read one of the comments under a part of the episode that summed up why it was called the Theory Of Love in English. It shows four wonderfully written storylines for the Savage Gang: Bone - Unrequited Love; Two/Too - Love In Unexpected Places; Third - Love That Builds You and Makes You Stronger; Khai - Love That Changes You For The Better. And overall the true love of friendship and the platonic bonds we form in our years for the Savage Gang.
Especially with Two's storyline, we can see the confusion and turmoil he goes through when he realizes his feelings for Lyn are slowly turning towards P'Un/Aun. Two and Au's storyline is also so superbly done, it seems completely possible, and the twist that Un was chasing after Two after trying to "forget the past love by moving onto another" by staying close to Third.
"Forget the past love by moving onto another" is a very strong theme we see recurring throughout the drama, "If you love something/someone, let them go" - the best example I can use to illustrate this is Bone's unrequited love with Pan. He slowly lets her go after not only learning that she is his professor but also after learning that her fiancee had decided to mend his cheating ways to win her back. P'Mike truly delivers in all his performances! So far, all his characters have been lovable and well done. hats off to him!
Every story has depth, and each episode is named after a movie that inspired the story! Such a marvelous artistic touch! i don't know if I will be able to rewatch it since 1. It made me tear up the first time ( no other drama has done this till now) and I am afraid I will cry again if I notice any more details I will genuinely start crying and 2. The first few episodes make me want to fistfight Khai even though I now know of the change he goes and grows through.
But nonetheless, such a brilliant watch. Definitely, enters my top favorite SHOWS of all time! :)
