Addictive
*outline*
I'd been putting this drama off for a long time because it just didn't seem that interesting... but woah- I wanted to watch the whole thing in one go just by watching Ep 1 Part 1/5. I think I got a little addictive. By the way, this drama isn't for those who can't handle: multiple heartbreaks, 'best friend can't confess his love', a lottt of crying, etc. Yes, there's more to come. (also read 'rewatch value' for more outline)
*thorough*
STORY : It was a very cliche story line, and honestly everything was expected. But I won't hold that against them because even though I sort of knew what was coming, I couldn't help but continuing to watch. In the end I really did get hooked on it even though I expected the worst possible reaction from me. The whole story was a climax, and even the screenwriter even gave us a cruel resolution but I loved it. My feelings hadn't been thrown around like a basketball for a while so I actually loved the recurrent heartbreaks. The pacing was amazing too. It didn't move too fast like I expected it to, and I think this is the only twist I got that I really didn't see coming. I do wish there was a better ending though... it felt a little empty.
ACTING/CAST : Hats off to OffGun for portraying the character's roles so well. Gun made me repeatedly cry for his stupid feelings and I don't regret it. I do wish I could have seen more of the other ships, though. One of the things I liked the most about this drama was that I ended up shipping everyone with each other. The reason for this is because usually I feel sort of gutted about the fact my ship never comes true even though I knew it'd never happen. However, Off made up for himself as he attempted to reform. Basically, everything about this drama surprised me.
MUSIC : I love it. That's all I have to say, really. I couldn't get over Fake Protagonist by Getsunova. I'm sure if you're trying to find a song from Theory of Love that you don't know the name of it's this one. It's very catchy and I really can't get over it. I could listen to it 20 times over. Even the intro wasn't boring to listen to, although it being just a theme. The music didn't disappoint me at all in this drama.
REWATCH VALUE : Despite finding this drama so good, I doubt I'd rewatch it for the pure fact there's not much from the story you actually remember after watching the drama. I've forgotten some of the things that happened before OffGun got together. All I remember is Gun's pain that I really empathized with. Literally, I cried so much. It didn't disappoint me but I don't think this is a good drama to watch if you're emotionally sensitive or if you don't like over dramatic and overly cliche stories.
*p.s.*
I would definitely recommend this to a friend, whether they're a beginner Thai BL enthusiast or an old one. Although this is your average cliche story line for fanfictions, maybe, that isn't the case for Thai BL's. So it's definitely something new and different to watch. You don't see this sort of story everyday.
*recommendations*
'Until We Meet Again' for heartbreak
'My Dear Loser' for playing with your emotions
