we're slipping deeper into BL mediocrity

Toxic relationships being regurgitated on loop. Zero storytelling, disjointed character arcs. Series tested formulae of non-helpful, interfering friend circles, engineering students and misplaced music are applied to this show. The only good takeaway was the actor who played Mark. With Taiwanese, Korean, Chinese queer themed and/or BL dramas producing more in-depth, engaging shows and Filipino web series with a firm grip on contemporary issues during COVID-19; the Thai 'BL' industry needs to wake up.

So glad that Nadao's I told Sunset About You has started streaming.

Confusing Romance but the friendship is AMAZING!

So basically found the main romance very confusing, I never could follow the development of their feelings towards each other. However, the relationships that really shine in this series are the friendships, especially surrounding Mark’s friends. This the first in the “En Of Love” series I watched so I think I was missing context for a lot of it, but when Vee ultimately did what he did and everyone was defending Mark, it was amazing to see! I heard an expansion of this story is being developed and I think that’s great, the romance could definitely benefit from an expansion. But I just hope they keep the strength of the friendships intact, because that’s definitely where this story shines.

I don't want to talk about how this is a "spin off" or short. I want to talk just about the story on its own.
And here it is...
...
Wow. There are some parts that were great and most that were... frustrating.
It was incredibly hard to follow, especially timelines and characters. They tried to sum it up too quickly by telling us how character feel.
The acting was good. I liked it. I believed it.
The story? Christ. Sorry, but like... fuck Vee? Yeah... yeah. Fuck Vee.
I can't forgive and I certainly can't forget. I've known stories where the cheating is on the gray line and this one is not. Because you didn't make it FACEBOOK OFFICIAL doesn't mean it's okay to do that to a person who is clearly very smitten with you. What kind of heartless toad are you, Vee?
I loved Mark. I loved this character and sweetness and the actor... I felt like he deserved more. He deserved not to like a man who didn't fully, completely, unconditionally like him back.
---
Overall, would I recommend this? I watched this between bigger dramas.
And no, no I would not. It made another 5% of my hair turn gray.
Mark deserves better.

el cast le hace un gran favor al libro


Es mi primera reseña y, de hecho, solamente me he registrado para darla jajajaja
Me topé con This Is Love Story y en los comentarios leí que esto era una saga y que tenías que verla al menos si querías entender las parejas. Empecé por TOSSARA pero no fui capaz de acabarla por mis propios motivos (que incluyen un poco de cringe y que el cast principal no me gusta pero eso es para otra reseña), así que me pasé automáticamente a Love Mechanics.

Antes de verla decidí leerme un poco libro y la verdad es que la relación me parecía muy tóxica, incluída con escenas muy tw que la verdad una no espera leer. No esperaba mucho de la serie por eso y porque en cuatro capítulos resumir TODA la historia me parece muy difícil. La vi sin expectativas y la verdad es que me deslumbró. Es una de mis series favoritas bl tailandesas de todas las que he visto, incluso me atrevería a ponerla por encima 2gether (pero son gustos, i guess!). Si me ha enamorado tanto esta historia creo que es principalmente por la química que hay entre los personajes y por la habilidad del actor de Mark para hacerte sentir muchísimo solo con una mirada. Este actor es buenísimo, de los mejores que he visto. Su actuación es muy ligera y natural, me encanta su personalidad además. El actor que hace de Vee también lo borda, sobre todo en la escena en la que se le llenan los ojos de lágrimas gradualmente mientras lee el teléfono (esa escena para mí es la mejor de él en toda la serie). Creo que sin el cast esta historia no habría quedado tan bien. De hecho, este cast le hace un gran favor al libro del que proviene la historia, porque sin esta serie y la interpretación de los personajes, el libro se hubiese quedado simplemente como un libro con una historia tóxica que te hace odiar a uno de ellos (Vee) y desear que nunca acaben juntos.

Le doy esta valoración a pesar de mi fascinación porque me he quedado con ganas de más - que se me han resuelto cuando me he enterado que vamos a tener full serie (yay). La verdad es que para mí esta historia es una unión de cosas que unas sin otras no hubiesen funcionado. Los escenarios, los fondos, el soundtrack y los diálogos me parecen todos buenísimos. De verdad espero ver la serie entera y que sepan sacarle buen partido a un libro tan tóxico, espero que haya escenas que no se incluyan por lo obvio y que por fin podamos entender mejor la línea del tiempo.

Cerita En of Love yang paling Bagus

Nah ini ni cerita En of Love yang paling terkenal. Menurutku juga Love Mechanic yang paling bagus. Kalau ini ceritanya sama-sama anak teknik, tapi beda tingkat. Nontonnya bikin emosi si emang, tapi lebih mending dibanding bikin ngantuk. Ini cerita bikin emosi soalnya karakternya ada yang selingkuh, ingatnya aja ini aku pengen ngutuk Vee rasanya.

Love Mechanic ini terjadi setelah TOSSARA. Mark yang suka sama Bar sakit hati liat Bar pacaran sama Gun. Mark dalam keadaan sakit hati malah jadi tidur bareng sama seniornya, Vee. Tapi ni Vee sudah punya pacar, hubungan Mark dan Vee yang awalnya junior-senior jadi rumit. Bener ni ya tapi karakter Vee tu brengsek banget. Dia gak bisa milih mau pacarnya atau sama Mark. Bener dah bakal sebel banget sama dia. Ep 1 dan 2 tu pasti sumpah serapah semua tertuju pada Vee. Ep 3 mulai kasihan sama Vee, Ep 4 cuma setengah ini gimanaa, pengen nyumpahin yang buat cerita rasanya. Iya bener Ep 4 tu cuma setengah ceritanya cuma sampe part 2 setelah itu interview tokoh En of Love.

Tapi gak papa, katanya tahun 2021 series lengkap khusus love mechanic bakal dibuat. Sepertinya karena love mechanic ini banyak yang minati jadi dibuat series khususnya. Beneran dah ni tapi kalau ini cerita en of love yang paling bagus, akting sama kemistri pemainnya kerasa banget. Yang main jadi Mark tu pinter banget dah, apalagi ekspresi sakit hatinya itu tu, hmm sungguh menyayat-yayat.

Вар и Ин идеально

Ну, что же дорогие мои, я до смотрела. Ок. первая серия про первую пару не впечатлило. Многие пишут актеры не красивые и прочую лабуду, я не согласна. так нельзя. а вот в плане отношения и общения - ну не люблю я такие подкаты. прям выворачивает. Берем вторую пару. Марк и Ви. Ребята (Ин Анан Вон и Вар Ванавар) играют потрясающе. Вар с такой мимикой, свэг ухмылкой. мммм рай. отношения конечно с токсиком, но конец потрясающий. Третья пара. Вот тут вышел зашквар в виде мальчика пупсика и плэйбоя. Но психологически понимаешь изменения Ныа (Пром ратчапат ) отыграл супер. Весельчак и бестыдник, превращается в послушного малого. так как идет продолжение - жду что мы увидим дальше. так 10/10 понравилось. смотрела в сабах, так как люблю слышать тайские эмоции выражения.

Esta es de mis series favoritas, solo esta temporada por ahora (Me falta la última y la primera es aburrida) PEERO:

No me gusta nada que Vee es, literalmente, un infiel serial, y te intenten hacer sentir mal por él. Engaña a Ploy con Mark, pero luego intentan hacerte sentir mal por él porque Ploy también lo engaña, después engaña a Mark con Ploy (la excusa del último beso no me vale, si respetas a tu nueva pareja no haces eso, más cuando afirmas que tu relación terminó mal), me encantó ver a Vee tan mal y que Mark lo ignorase durante dos meses, aunque no aclaran si Mark estaba liado con el otro chico o no, pero deja de aparecer cuando vuelve con Vee así que deduzco que si, es bueno ver a un pasivo que intenta rehacer su vida.

TER APENAS 4 EPISÓDIOS É LOUCURA

Essa é uma história muito complexa para ser desenvolvida em apenas 4 episódios e por isso virou uma bagunça.
As atuações não são muito boas e a história é apressada e corrida, definitivamente não funcionou.
Gosto da instabilidade do relacionamento no começo, a dúvida e os erros cometidos pelo Vee fazem sentido porque é necessário para a construção da história, mas esses míseros 4 episódios não deram conta de carregar a a trama.

Melhor arco de "En of love"

De todos os arcos de "En of love" esse foi o que mais gostei. Não há muito o que ser dito. A história é bem fiel à novel, segue o padrão de ambientação universitária (dessa vez entre dois engenheiros) e as demais locações são apenas o bar e os quartos de Vee e Mark. O roteiro foi tão bom que em apenas 4 episódios curtíssimos conseguiram desenvolver a história de forma genial, sem furos, eles foram do Mark sofredor, a confusão que o levou a dormir com Vee, o desenvolvimento da história de Vee e Ploy, o fim, a reconquista e o recomeço do namoro. Existe uma bela fotografia, e a atuação dos protagonistas foi bem superior à dos outros arcos, Yim e War ganharam meu coração e foram aclamados, ainda hoje, com o lançamento da segunda temporada de "Love Mechanics", que apesar de ter sido o segundo arco, foi o único que teve uma segunda temporada, nesse momento (07/2022) são considerados o casal mais quente da Tailândia, desbancando vários ships de muito sucesso, e batendo vários recordes de audiência com a série. Outra coisa muito boa nesse arco foi a ost, que é simplesmente maravilhosa. Na verdade, já revi várias vezes, e revisitei esse hino agora para me deliciar com a segunda temporada, que está sendo divina. Não tem como não recomendar, é 10/10. O único defeito dessa série é que ela acaba.
