Not a BL, more like a Mystery
This was a wild ride, every episode raised more questions, without answering any, until the last episode. I had so many theories, which all turned out to be false.Some may disagree, but I found that the ending very much made sense and they honestly weren't any big questions left unanswered.
The characters felt like real people, not good people but people (expect for Title, he is just plain evil), and the acting was amazing (I watched this series because of Bible and he didn't disappoint).
What I didn't like? When I watched it, I tried to remember all the little details and hints (like the backstory of a side character) that could be important in the end, only for them to never be mentioned again or explained. That made some scenes feel "random", otherwise it would have been a masterpiece.
But so you know, I wouldn't really call this a BL, because it's not a romance. The mystery and Sci-Fi aspects are the main focus. It was kind of similar to "Manner of death" (or to some Mafia BL) in terms of the "vibe". Don't expect the typical fluffy Bl story, this is not it. The relationships weren't very well developed either, but maybe that's realistic.
I used to think that "Like Love" was explicit but in comparison to the sultry version of 4minutes, "Like Love" is the most family friendly Bl ever. Honestly, it was a little bit to explicit for my taste, it's like I am invading the characters privacy lol. If you always wanted more explicit (and more realistic (damn)) NC scenes, this is the show for you.
Should you watch it? Yes, if you want a series which plot seems to be a mystery until the last episode, or just a Mystery/ Sci-Fi series with gay characters, you should.

Take the worst out of Tharntype and Theory of Love and you get this
So, first of all the only reason I gave it so many stars is because of the characters(the friendgroup) and the comedy. And because it says something against homophobia.But there were tooo many problematic things, like Ton forcing his friends to get prostitutes and that was never resolved. At the end it got a little bit better, Chon even got a backbone. I have to say that I skipped most TonChon scenes because I didn't care about them, like at all so that's probably why I didn´t hate it too much. The story was meh, the typical "evil ex" story line paired with a worse version of Tharntype and Theory of love. There were plot holes and Tons actions didn't make sense, it wanted you to throw your head against the wall because of his stupidity.
But if you don't take it seriously and just watch it for the funny scenes, then it was a fun watch at times. But just don't. Just don't watch this.
