I came into Love Sick The Series after watching Two Moons The Series and Make it Right The Series Season 1. I watched Two Moons first (my first foray into Thai BL TV), loved it and moved on to MIR, which was cute but definitely a lot more raunchy than I expected. I tried watching MIR Season 2 after that but felt it was so bad, I had to quit watching it after episode 3. So, thirsting for a good BL drama, I started on Love Sick The Series after reading comments of comparisons between Tee from MIR and Phun from Love Sick. Out of all the three, Love Sick Season 1 (I haven't seen Season 2) is the best.

Despite the totally fanfic-cy premise of how the two leads got together (hell yeah fake boyfriends, the best fan fiction trope amirite??) and the short time in which the two characters fell in love, the growth of their relationship felt sweet and natural. They go through rough patches, angst and have internal struggles all the time. They want each other but can't leave behind their fears of what society will think of them, which is constantly pushed into their faces by their friends and girlfriends. Seemingly, the only person who has their backs is Pang, Phun's younger sister, who is a fujoshi (a generally-negative Japanese term for a BL fangirl who fetishizes BL) and will never understand the struggles gays have to go through if they want to be together. I don't know if the pay-off for sitting through several episodes of angst is worth it yet since I haven't seen season 2. The cute scenes between the two mains we get in between the angst... instead of calming my stormy heart, they just make me sadder because it's like the show yelling at us, "THIS IS WHAT THEY COULD BE BUT THEY'RE FORBIDDEN SO WE'RE TAKING IT AWAY FROM YOU."

So fair warning, this show has a *lot* of angst. I felt a lot of grief while watching this, as compared to 2 Moons where the two leads are always so cute, loving and they didn't care what anyone else though of them. Besides, everyone around them was so supportive. So if you want a feel-good, happy BL drama to watch - go for 2 Moons, but *don't* go for Love Sick.

I rated the acting pretty low, but I really like the charm of this "poor" acting. It's bad and stiff acting, but at the same time adds to the characterisation of the characters? Like, the characters in the story are kids going through puberty, the whole stiffness and unnaturalness when they're behaving or saying things in certain ways feels realistic. I wouldn't let the acting keep me from watching this drama!

One thing I'd really like to praise about this drama is the absolute golden dialogue. The joking around, the teasing, the jibes between friends and two main leads are all so natural and realistic, lines that are familiar, as if I have said them to my own friends too. The writers really know how teenagers interact with one another, and that's something very difficult to get right, especially when you're not their age. Also!! There are some very, very sweet lines that I would like to keep in my heart forever. <3 Those lines made me want to learn Thai just so I can understand them in their original language. :')

Overall, I love this drama and highly recommend it. I can't wait for the countless of sleepless nights and unproductive work days spent thinking about Love Sick The Series all the damn time as I start on Season 2. :)
