Love by Chance (2018)

it is beautiful the way it's shown I love it made me cry of love. it's not easy to fine a homosexual show or story around I fall in love with the hole cast and the episodes, everything was beautiful I really recommended. my friend that is gay loved it, and we both think that love is love and the way it shows it makes it beautiful I have watched 5 times. and also the way the cast interacts it makes it feel so real, romantic, and beautiful.
is really hard for me to like something so this is something I really love and just makes want to be loved like Ae loves Pete and Pete loves Ae, it is not just a typical love story it is more than that it is wonderful everything is beautiful. I loved so much that I made my screen savor a picture of Ae and Pete together hugging because they are so beautiful together. So I really recommended to by watch

Stopping at Ep 12 to keep the good feelings

I don't normally stop any series, but after reading reviews, and coming to the end of episode 12, I knew that any further and I would be disappointed, and likely angry. It ends with Pete and Ae happy, TinCan starting to date and not having a rape scene put in my face.
Loved it through 12, and so I will take my happiness out and not let it spoil me. I maybe will watch Season 2. However, from the reviews, it sounds like I would be fast forwarding through anything that isn't TinCan and even then, not starting at the retelling of their story, but completely different.

I had a love/hate relationship with this series.

Let’s talk about the couples in the show. I’ll be leaving the best for last:

Firstly Ae and Pete. They’re pretty boring. I didn’t see much chemistry at all. There’s no drama really after the blackmailing (and bizarrely never seen again) Trump vanishes. They get together and I was totally underwhelmed. The steamy locker scene which pops up on YouTube as soon as you type in the series names is as hot as it gets and after that it’s pretty tame with chaste kisses like they never got down and dirty in the locker room. I just don’t like these two as a couple and wasn’t that invested in them. I’ve read that due to some dispute Pete won’t be in series 2 and I won’t miss him...his character is a total Mary-Sue.

I could not care less about the weird brothers Tum and Tar. Zzzzz. The younger one looked all of 11 years old and the older one was just a creep who at one point almost rapes the kid. I ended up fast forwarding when they came on!

Techno and Kengkla - what the hell? Kengkla stalks Techno for the whole series then rapes him. If they turn this into an actual love match for series 2 I’ll be horrified. How is this okay? Well, the answer is that it’s not but I’m finding that these BL dramas seem to enjoy a bit of non-con as foreplay like it’s normal (see TharnType). I hope Techno gets justice not more of the same. I like Techno!

Tin and Can - oh my heart, I love these two! At the beginning I found Can really annoying but he really did grow on me. The way he clearly falls for Tin but can’t process the feelings is adorable. He just wanted to keep Tin in his life but Tin couldn’t deal with it and when he’s crying in the shower my heart broke. Oh, and that cinema scene - perfect.

Tin and Can are why I will watch series 2. I want them together!

Onto other characters in this show, special mention to the character of Pond. Pond is possibly the most annoying character I have ever seen on any television show EVER. There is literally nothing good about him. Hopefully he’ll fall off a building in the next series. Yuck.

I loved Good and his very slooow voice. I hope he gets more action in series 2. Also like Champ and the Type in this series is way less whiny than the one in TharnType which can only be a good thing. Let’s not forget Gucci the dog. So cute.

I watched the last episode without a subtitle, because I am a little impatient but I won't let that affect my review. I will be speaking honestly based on my opinions about the series. I initially liked it for the interaction between the characters Ae and Pete, but then as I met through the other characters I am floored . I loved all the couples in the drama. Though there are four main couples... I personally feel Ae and Pete has predominated the rest of the couples(it is just my opinion). But that is also an advantage in the series, you get to see the sweet and fluffy moments between Ae and Pete. The friendship between the characters is amazing, the family aspects, the development of love between the main couples and the already existing hidden love. It is all beautiful. On the whole, I wish there was another episode to it(I am not entirely sure if there is a season 2) Kinda felt it was a bit abrupt (again, it can just be me). I would love to see if there is a part two...I am not sure if I will rewatch it again...maybe for the couples I like the most!!

Could've been done better

I usually don’t write reviews, but for Love By Chance it was a sign I had to. It's been a time since I last watched the series, and as far I have noted, it's overall a good BL. Tho the acting,, I have a feeling they could have done better. I understand the actors did everything they could with what they received, and as much as I love Perth(Ae) and Saint(Pete) I have to be honest and say it didn't sell me anything. There were some episodes where I cringed and literally had to stop there. The only reason why I kept going with the series, was because they annonced a season 2.
The acting didn't sell me at all, because of the exaggerated cute scenes between Ae and Pete (spoiler: especially ep8/9 where they also had sex for the first time).
I felt the need to skip it all, and to be very honest, it just felt forced and it really didn't give off the cuteness it was supposed to give.

Apart from the Tum/Tar relationship, what I also didn't understand was the relationship between Can and Tin.
It honestly confused me so much, it was like I couldn't keep up with them at all. They tried their best to create the so called poor/rich relationship, but what was the purpose?
We had Can who literally was ready to fight anyone that breathes near him, and after confessing to Tin, it was like Tin immediately had to like Can back??!
Overall, I am very disappointed and hopefully season 2 is a lot better. Is it worth rewatching again? Absolutely not.

Love By Chance is a series that's definitely worth watching and even re-watching, and here's why:
LBC does a great job at portraying relationships realistically, it doesn't use miscommunication as a plot device and instead lets characters actually talk to each other to sort out problems, it also has a wide variety of side couples that balance out the incredibly sweet main one, some work out and some don't, just like in real life.
It also doesn't fall into clichés from most BLs, it even takes those clichés and turns them into something actually good and worth watching.
It doesn't mock gay relationships or go too hard on the fan service, and it definitely doesn't have repetitive plot lines.
The music, although not new to some, is catchy and matches the mood of the scenes well.
And the acting, even if the actors are young and some very new to the industry, is really good!
This is the type of show you can watch after a bad day and feel better.

Watching just 5 episodes gives me butterflies. Seriously! this series is far different from other BL dramas because it has a different story line, the characters are so good with their acting and most important the chemistry between all the characters is what you can actually feel. Ae and Pete looks good together, i wish we will see more of romance between them. The second couple that i am really very excited to see is Kengkla and Techno, they will have a good chemistry i hope. Also if i talk about other actors, i do feel they are doing great job.
I am really hoping for a happy ending and season 2. I think this is a must watch BL drama for BL lovers.
You will love it!

What I love about this series is the "acting", specially Perth. Among all the actors in thai BL series, he has the most natural acting skill i've ever seen. And Saint's portrayal of Pete is excellent to.To be honest, im not sure if he is really like that in real life coz I've seen his video reacting to their kissing scene and his reaction was soooo "Pete".I just love it.Second is I really like the cinematography...the editor/director/camera man and others really did a GREAT JOB! Next is the music..I love the main OST and the other one, Kor by Boy Sombop, and "Shake" from Love Sick was a bonus!the way they made the scenes, and applied the music was really brilliant. When it comes to story, I would say nothing is new(aside from Pete,being gay since the beginning, u know what i mean about thai BL) BUT, the way the script was written and the way they executed the scenes was very very good! This series has a powerful cast - good looking guys and great actors. Its fluffy, at the same time, its mature and serious. I felt really upset when the series got delayed...but now that its airing, Im asking myself what did I do GOOD to deserve this beautiful BL series. The wait is really worth it. And Im looking forward to see the other couples. And looking forward to see Season 2. 2 Moons was my favorite BL series before. There maybe some issues with the "acting" from that series but the have a very good looking cast and super cute and fluffy scenes that's why it became famous. But im afraid that LBC is now my favorite....it has the perfect combination of everything we need on a BL! Our generation is very lucky to see this BL series..not just this one, but all of the other BL series - Lovesick,MIR,Sotus,TWM,2 Moons and others..I hope that it will continue until we get old and older..love yahhh...
