Much better than shitshows I've seen before
As somebody who watched the love syndrome III first, compared to that this is so much better.i started watching w 0 expections and to get second hand embarrassment from the hardcore nc scenes (I expected nc scenes like forgotten night) but they were pretty good including the acting in those scenes. In my personal opinion the acting of the main leads are better, the budgeting is better because the sets and everything looks put together. But the only downside I thought was the the time limit and how they decided to utilise it this should be so much better as a series. Ig there would be a second part to this movie but I would definitely prefer this as a series w the same cast.Honorable mention: the actor playing itt did an amazing job

Enjoyable Continuation to a favorite series.
I greatly enjoyed it. I like that it took a lot from the book. The acting was good, I do wish that the actor who played Itt did a better job, but then again they are a new cast. Day, Night and Gear were good. I loved seeing Tuss come back to the series. The one thing that bothered me was it was a movie instead of a series, there is so much to tell in the story and wish it did not just tease us with a short movie and I hope they continue on, sadly I know the director passed away and I do hope they find a way to continue and finish the story. The scenery was lovely and it did a pretty good job of flow. I know this series is not for everyone but its about hate, love jealousy and revenge and they did a good overall showing it, happy to finally see the beginning of this story, just wish they took more of the older cast from the series then give it a brand new one. I really liked it and look forward to the next chapter.Was this review helpful to you?
I don't get it...
I thought it was really good. I understand that some people didn't really like it but I really enjoyed it. I was on the edge of my seat for most of it. I really hate the while "to be continued" part because like... what the heck but I guess that makes sense because the series was 3I'd definitely rewatch it.. the casting was amazing, the pacing was done well
the only thing I'd change is to make it longer

INCOMPLETE STORYLINE
As it is written in the details of this series on my drama list that this is a movie and storyline goes as at a time Day will fall in love with Itt but Itt has already escaped with help of night , but I scrolled through many websites and found nothing like that happening it only left stranded with Day visiting Night on the island with a gun and Itt was at home ...like where are the other promised scenes? When is going to be a romcom between itt and day ? Is this sequel completed ? Or will there be another season ? Please let us know cause I personally preferred the storyline , It was good but wanted to be completed as a whole please dont leave it open ended.Was this review helpful to you?

All surface level and no depth of emotions
Ok, I'm not sure what to say about this movie except for the fact it shouldn't have been made in a movie format. Do do justice to THIS type of story you need a longer format. The very fact that the end of this was just a brief cut-off of the story midway through is a testament to that. They didn't stop at the end of a story arch just ended it on a cliffhanger and called it good.There isn't any resolution or even a redemption arch here. The closest would be that Gear and Night had sex again but there wasn't any talk of a relationship. It might be implied but it just felt incomplete there as well. Because of the compressed format, I wasn't able to understand Night's shift of emotions from hurt that Gear fucked him over to wanting to give him a second chance. There is also a whole mountain of story that was never touched about Day's plan for Gear and what Day and Night's argument was really about.
With Itt and Day, there is nothing in the way of any kind of emotion. There was a brief implied moment when Itt stormed out of the bedroom complaining he had been woken up. Obviously, some time has passed and there has been some kind of movement in their twisted relationship since he isn't in chain and his initial wounds have healed. Yet we don't know how much time and EVERYTHING has been off-screen.
I really wanted this movie to give me the twisted emotions behind this story. To show me how these two couples went from a damaged toxic start to what we see in Love Syndrome III. THAT is an interesting story. But this movie even, if it ends up with a second part, isn't that. This movie focused on the shock value of the rape and dub/non-consent aspects without building the proper foundation to support any type of relationship between the two couples, even a toxic twisted love.
To me, this feels half-baked at best using the rape and abduction as shock value pull without doing the heavy lifting of the emotions behind it. This movie is all surface level and for this type of subject matter, it makes it disappointing at best and a bad movie at worst.

A much better series
As one who has read the novel & watched the series Love Syndrome III, this was a much better series than the previous one. The acting, The production, The scenes, the transition from one scene to another & the blocking of the actors. I guess this had more budget than the previous series. I never expected Itt & Day's actor to be good!! Tbh, I have no expectations on this series & just want to watch it, but it was good!I'm really hoping that this has a continuation with the same group of actors. Sad to know that the director on this series has been deceased T__T
looking forward to the next part though~

Holy $HIT SHOW!
How do you take 2 great books a handful of beloved characters and complete ruin them? You make a movie that's an hour and a half long. I wasn't expecting much from this and I was still Disappointed. It's just all over the place and pulling bits and pieces of the books and not even the good bits. Very little Day and Itt and let's face it Love Syndrome is Day and Itt. It's disappointing since this had a lot of potential to be an amazing series that could have been multiple season focusing on different couples because I'm guessing we all want to see Neil and Nick's story as well as Nan and Mac. I love these books and Love Syndrome III wasn't the greatest but it freaking amazing compared to this streaming pile of crap. So disappointed I was really looking forward to watching Day and Itt's relationship progress as well as seeing Nick and Neil.Was this review helpful to you?
not a romance and not anything else
Overall: as someone who has enjoyed many bodice rippers, this 90 minute movie totally missed the mark. It didn't do the romance well and it didn't do any other genre (mystery, action etc) well either. I haven't read the books and am basing this movie on its own merits. Aired on WeTV https://wetv.vip/en/play/2fs0u4bifngi23w/r4100rhuz4bContent Warnings: rape (repeatedly), sexual assault, violence/beaten up, drugging, held against will, manhandling, non con recording/sharing, manipulation
What I Liked
- visuals and that mesh top
- other than how the characters are all related to each other, the premise was fairly easy to understand
Room For Improvement
- even when something is based on source material, the production can't assume every viewer has read the source material, they introduced a whole bunch of characters (some with their names written on the screen), did not explain everyone's relationships to one another well, never gave an explanation for why that horrible "plan" was concocted/carried out
- couldn't root for any of the couples, 3rd couple it happened when one was shown to be drunk, 2nd couple had a terrible redemption arc maybe if 6 months ago he had shown discomfort over what he did and then in the present he had not repeatedly violated the other guy's boundaries then I could have rooted for them, and the first couple....I think that's evident, was Stockholm syndrome happening, wth
- total nonsense things ie why first take revenge on a person who created a plan instead of the person who carried out the plan, character was gone for at least 3 days (or long enough for cuts/bruises to heal so weeks???) and no one was concerned about his whereabouts, he seemed totally fine after something completely horrific, he had access to his phone but didn't call the police, etc
- jarring tone of domestic bliss to something extremely horrific
- multiple flashbacks/time jumps
- cliffhanger ending with no guarantee of a sequel

Not sure how to feel
I watched this movie after watching Love Syndrome III. I liked that better than this movie, but i'm not sure why exactly, as neither of these is really good. I'm not sure if it's fair to compare them, but i'm going to do that anyway. The acting in this movie is ok, better than in the series apart from the NC-scenes, which were honestly quite cringe in this movie. I felt NO chemistry from the main couple (GearNight) and only mildly from FourGus. DayItt was worst of all, and how they cabn go from where we left off here to being as in love as they are in the series is anyones guess. Day says he likes Itt (but whyyyyy?) but his actions and bodylanguage don't support his words. Itt is scared (and rightly so!) but seems to stay with Day of his own free will (but whyyyyy?) . the movie has an open ending, and seems to leave room for a follow-up (LSII?) but i'm not sure I want it. Maybe we should just leave these characters in the book (that I did not read, nor intend to) where they can do no more harm, instead of trying to make the terrible things these guys do to eachother screen-friendly.Was this review helpful to you?

Not as good as love syndrome III
From what I've been reading review after watching it, I've read many says its better than love syndrome III but for my opinion, its not as good as love syndrome III.I've read the novel, I though this movie might show the relationship progress of day and itt but I think day and itt only has around 30% part and the rest was about the story of night and gear only.
For people whom love to watch more of dayitt scene, I recommend watching love syndrom III. As for gearnight I recommend this movie thou it supposed to be series.
Actor - some ok some isn't. I prefer actor from LSIII more.
Story - it would have been better.
Sound - could be improvised.
Rewatch - not necessary.
The ending is TO BE CONTINUED.

Pretty close to the book
The Day character was actually more like the one in the book very brutalbook
The whole show was the production wasn't as great as LSlll but they did a good job. Gus and Four was a good addition to the storyline. A lot of the characters are different from the tv version and it's not as long. I hope they do a part two or there is no point to watch.
