En of Love: Esta é uma história de amor (2020)

Since I have only watch 2 episodes so take my review with a grain of salt as I haven’t seen the whole thing. Truthfully I’m disappointed so far. Episode one was decent, not good but also not bad. But episode 2 seem to just go down hill also after reading the novel for their story I just don’t really feel that excited but that can just because of personal taste.

Cast: The cast are pretty good looking and match the roles appearances, and the actor dose have some degree of cem together though not a lot.

Acting: truthfully the acting’s kinda bad. I really don’t know if it’s just me personally but I find it a little cringe And weird.

Story: eh...just your typical Bl story so what ever...not bad or anything for sure. Some time it’s nice to have the classical things.

Music: I actually pretty like the music is guess.

Rewatch value: I PERSONALLY wouldn’t rewatch it but once again this is my opinion so people may have a different view point than me.

Overall: personally this story was better than the first one for sure but compare to “love mechanic” it’s still behind in many ways. Still give it a try I guess as it may be your cup of tea. But personally I feel like Love Mechanic have this story defeated in all category....so yea.

The best of this series

There are couple of dramas in that series, but for my opinion this is the best (and that is why i only review that one)
first both of the actors playing are really cute, a lone and together, they have a good chemistry, although i rellay think they can also pull it off with others too.
the one that playing the twins is adorable, there is something about him, he is charming
and although both of them not so good actors for a beginners they are ok. we forgive them.

There is no story really in this one, it's an odd plot that doesn't make any sence, the subtitles are the worse iv'e seen, i also skiped a lot of the fb group chats, i didn't understand all the mean friends he had there, it's make no sence to have those crule friends...

The acting like i wrote alreay are bad...but better than the other couples of before.

It's nice to pass the time, have a good vibe, and cute...overall i can even watch it again if i skip the boring parts.

I really don't know what to say. I sat down and watch all three episodes all at once and this has got to be the first series that has dissapointed me this year so far.

Story -5/10
The storyline really didn't capture my attention. I am only giving it a five cause of the supporting characters. I was more invested into them than the MC.

Acting/Cast-6/10
I gave this a six, cause, again, the supporting characters had me invested. I prefered seeing the MC's with thier friends/ families than with each other. Nuea and Vee interacting as friends were more entertaining to me than Nuea and Praram's relationship.

Music-5/10
I really don't pay attention to the music. But the OST was okay for me. Some parts where the music was played in the series was a bit too loud for me, though.

Rewatch Value-1/10
There is no way that I will rewatch this series. I just can't! I'm sorry, but it's a no from me.

Overall-4.5/10
Out of the three different stories, I ranked this the lowest. I won't be watching this again and I just can't recommend it to anyone.

Great potential, meagre execution

Just 3 eps is just not enough for any love story, and that goes for this one as well. I was also quite apprehensive about the high schooler with a Uni student, and I was (partly) right. Although the actors have great chemistry together, the way Nuea seems to almost groom Praram is kinda cringy. He reels it in a little later on, but its damage done.

There is a weird scene where Nuea is just sitting at his computer in his room not speaking but typing stuff that is not being conveyed to the viewer. Did they forget the sound or captions on this part?

The story ends with Prarams 19th birthday, and felt more like the beginning of the story rather than the end. Although it wa never boring, I can't help but wonder what the purpoe of this separate story was if not as a warm up to a larger series? That we are still not getting, by the way.

more questions than answers

So it gets a 7.3 from me, and I rounded it down to a 7, because it wasn't that good. I left with more questions than answers. I have my AP bio in like 7 minutes, but Thai drama for the win. This was short and sweet. I thought I was being racist because the twins looked so similar, but it turns out they were played by the same person. It was a solid show, and I feel like if it had been longer, it would have been better, but it wasn't, so it wasn't better. The plot was iffy, and not a lot happened. The Facebook post furthered the plot, but not well. Uh yeah. kinda confused. Not bad, but not good. The intro was longer than the actual show, and the acting was decent. My friends think Nuea is so hot; he's good-looking, but I don't think he's hot. I would not rewatch. Okay, I gotta go take my AP. Solid show. I will watch the other ones later. Solid, no thought show. Okay bye!

I really wasn't expecting to find it so good. I just watch because I was curious and a Youtuber that I like was reacting to it. But after the first episode I was in shook by the fact that I could really feel and appreciate this romance between a high school and a engineer senior. How they developed, the way that Neau approached Praram, it was all at the seman time cute and light and also deep. The acting was on point, I could feel the chemistry and the feeling of a weird attraction between them. It was a pleasant surprise this show. And in each episode they surprised me somehow. And the photography, direction and music was on point too. Like the cafeteria scene from the second episode, I could live in that scene. I was afraid of the third episode, because It would be the last, and I was sad and also afraid that didn't end well, but no. Even after canteen scene that I was reluctant about how Neua would proceed, ended up with that beautiful deep scene in the dormitory between them. At the first I was concerned about this ship, but after watching I think this relationship between a High schooler and a engineer senior surprisingly turn out as the less problematic of the three. loved this show. Tho It was so short, I'll miss them.

Cute, Light-Hearted Squeals

UPDATE (as of 3rd episode)
So, this show is still going strong, honestly~ I think it's a cute, light-hearted storyline that really focuses on the communication aspect so far~ I mean, there are problems that arise, but those problems are solved fairly quickly, which is nice because I would hate for something so short to be filled with too much angst (I'm looking at you, Love Mechanics). Speaking of Love Mechanics, I love Mark and Vee in this? I love that they expanded the relationship between Vee and Nuea, as well as Mark's general relationship inside Bar, Vee, and Nuea's friend group. It honestly makes me want to go back and watch all of their stories again.

I will agree that there are some pacing issues, but I breeze past that because they have 4 episodes to work with. Do I think P'New would do wonders with 12 episodes per story? Hell yeah. Would I watch it? Hell yeah x2, especially if they use the same actors.

I mentioned this in my original review (below this blurb), but the acting is getting GREAT. There are some missteps and awkwardness in certain scenes in the past two storylines, but those are few and far between in this storyline. Benz (Praram/Pralak) especially~ I mean, guys, he literally uses two different voices to try to set them apart. He's so cute~ Prom (Nuea) is also awesome~ I've loved him in all of the other storylines, so I'm biased, but I'm hyped that he's the lead here~

Granted, it's only an episode in, but that means we're 25% done with this story, you know? Besides, after binging the other two En of Love series, I can confidently say that the acting has improved EXPONENTIALLY. All of them, not just the main leads, have improved greatly, and I think that makes this show worth the delay we had.

This honestly is the story I was looking forward to the most out of all of them, so I have high expectations, especially since I love most of P'New's works, and I'm excited to say that I spent most of the first episode squealing, which is a good sign~

I can't wait for the next episode, and I'll be sure to update this as it goes~

Cringey story and weak acting

The writers totally lost with this trilogy. The first series was extremely cringey. The second series with Mark and Vee was okay. I like the sarcastic faces of Mark very much. Vee is a bit of a bad boy but he's quite cute. The third series was a disappointment as well. I was looking forward to the story of Nuea, but the weak story and weak acting was another disappointment again. I think the writers have totally lost it.

Since it's required that a review has at least 500 words. Here again what's wrong with this trilogy:

This is the best part of the three EN of Love series despite having the thinnest plot, but it has only 3 episodes instead of the usual 4. It was apparently shortened due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The cast for the main characters and the couple dynamics are the cutest amongst the three parts, but there is no chance to really develop it into a better story. If you watch BL simply for couple cuteness and sweet boy-boy flirting moments, this is good enough. Both the actors and the characters are cute, and the acting is reasonably good even if the actors aren't really challenged.

There are potential points of tension in the story such as the objections of Param's brother to the relationship that aren't really developed further. I'm actually not sure if the span of one episode would have been enough to develop This is Love Story into something better, so I won't solely blame the pandemic for it. Overall, it feels like there is barely any plot development (let alone climax), and we just see: 1. boy meets boy, 2. boys fall in love. It feels like the story has just started and then it ends.

I think the series could have been really good if someone could continue the story and make Episodes 4-8 or even 4-12. (The EN of Love trilogy is based on a novel which I haven't read, so I'm not sure how much more of a story there is in the book.) It is theoretically possible to continue with another 5-10 episodes and turn This is Love Story into a nice story without changing the first three episodes at all. It is such a pity because Param and Nuea make a very likable couple. (I wouldn't mind seeing the same actors in more BLs too.)
