THEORY OF LOVE! EXPLORING CLASSIC MOVIES IN ONE SERIES!
Theory of Love is an incredible BL series centering its theme about a one-sided love turned to mutual understanding and intimacy. Personally, I kind of loved the theme of the series, of them trying to base each episode from a Classic American or English movie exploring and designing a basic but effective formula and theory of love.
The Plot.
The whole plot of the series is obviously based on the classic movie "Flipped". Which is very interesting for me as they portray the sequence in to a BL show, with two bestfriends, one who loved the other, and the other one being a jerk, jumping from one girl to another. The whole flow of the drama, is tear-jerking, funny, and sometimes just makes your blood boils, and make your head aches until it makes your brain explodes. The mixed emotions you will feel while watching this drama is so confusing that there will be a point in time, that you won't know what will you feel. You'll be confused if you should be sad, angry, happy, or even disgusted. I will give a solid 8 for the plot. This might not be the perfect plot for a BL show, but the plot itself is so satisfying and creative. So ill give the show credit for that.
The Characters
Gun and Off! I can honestly say that I only watched this series because of them. Gun's acting is phenomenal! He really executed the character well. Especially, for the first few episodes. Where we all witness the pure sadness and grief of his character, being in love with a jerk, and seem like he can't do anything with his feelings because he's the bestfriend, let alone knowing that he loved a straight male which is a huge jerk. His acting really captured the hearts of the viewers, he infected us with his sadness too. I am sure theres a lot of viewers in there who also cries in every episode because of Gun's character. I mean he is superb!
Off's acting is great too. I mean he becomes more awesome as time goes by. I can really say his acting has improved in this one since his other's drama. I will give him thumbs up for that. Of course, we can change the fact that Off did a great job in portraying his character. I mean he made me wanna punch him in every time I see him in the first few episodes. I think everyone, felt the way I felt too. The anger and rage that I felt just watching him testing Third if he really likes Khai. I mean I almost broke my phone because of disgust and just pure anger. My blood just boils every time I saw him in the first few episodes in the series.
The bestfriends are really the best of friends. Two and Bone is the best friends someone needs. I mean, Bone has his wrongs but we already forgave him with that since he confronted Third with it, and even helped him. Two is just what all of us needs. A supporting friend who doesn't want you to be hurt no matter what. Plus, his relationship with Un made the show more exciting for me, not gonna lie. However, Bone and Paan's relationship made me uneasy and uncomfortable. i don't know why, maybe because he's in love with his teacher or something who turns out to be married? oooooh the age gap.
Conflicts and Resolutions
Theres a scene that i didn't really liked and I didn't understood well. The bathroom scene where Khai, CONSCIOUSLY, kissed Third, hoping that Third will get over him. I mean what? How dumb is that? I mean, it worked. I saw it worked but I am not really comfortable with that concept and idea plus the awkward kiss, where Third didn't kiss back. Eh! I was disgusted during that scene. I hated that scene! But I tried to get over that scene.
The time it flipped. Where Khai seemed to realized he has feelings with this too. That satisfied me that much. ooooof the satisfaction crawled all throughout my body. Yeah, I dont know why, but that easily calmed me down. I instantly became Team Khai. That's how weak I am hahahahahahha.
One thing, as I was so commited in watching the characters and understainding their story, I didn't really get to notice the music at all and it didn't really captured my attention that much so i'll rate it lower. The rewatch value too. I don't really have the urge to rewatch the series just because of all the crying, and the grief. I am so sorry. but overall, I enjoyed the whole series, I loved it!
