Great plot idea, but never gains momentum
I was really looking forward to this one. What a great plot idea: Two guys pretend to be boyfriends for whatever reason, then end up having feelings for each other. There's even a brief love triangle with 3 guys. But the plot just coasts through 12 long episodes and doesn't really go anywhere. Of course, they're setting us up for a sequel which has more than 30 episodes. Ugh. "Love Sick" is one of the early BL dramas and I have to say they've come a long way in 6 years. Too many cliche gay stereotypes and some surprisingly graphic descriptions, even while the onscreen action is uneventful. Lots of production problems: bad sound, bad lighting, bad editing, bad camera work. But the leads, Puhn (White Nawat) and Noh (Captain Chonlathorn) are appealing in the scenes where they get serious. The other third of the triangle, Earn (Ngern Anupart) had a lot of potential but doesn't get developed until too late in the drama. Sorry to say, I'd recommend skipping this one and just starting with Season 2.
