I have never been so touched, moved to tears, or smiled so big as I have watching this show.
This show is a spin-off of Love Sick: The Series but BETTER. Why better? It has a lot more well-written and thought-out scenes that will truly touch your heart. It's also not filled with as many side stories or unrequited, angst-riddled love.
Many other dramas will skip scenes, fade to black, or use some other plot device to end the opportunity for the couple to have a deep discussion about their love, their relationship, and where it's headed. NOT this series. The writers lovingly devote ample amounts of precious screen time to the couples as they openly discuss their problems as adults (even though they are high schoolers). It also doesn't take 2 seasons of awkward moments, fights, misunderstandings, and such for the couple to finally accept that they love each other. This series puts them together early on and then shows us how they deal with challenges and grow together as a couple.
I'm not an overly emotional guy but even I had to bring tissue. Many of these scenes are just so very tender, you will cry. Some of the lines uttered are so unbelievably cute and romantic it just tugs at my heart. It also helps that the actors are very handsome.
This series is not perfect though. People complain about the music, well, for the most part, it's the right song at the right time. Also, a lot of plot devices are reused. I couldn't count how many times someone tripped, fell, or was otherwise injured and it allowed a moment for the couple to bond or see the other for the first time. Some plots were a bit juvenile but I chalk that up to this being a high school drama. Product placement is contrived and each episode ends with a "Side Story" as they call it, basically a skit about some product from the advertisers. You may opt to skip these skits, but there are a couple of them that are so funny I would recommend not skipping them. Lastly, I'd recommend watching Love Sick: The Series as characters from Make It Right live in the world that Love Sick built.
TL;DR: Real relationships, real problems, real solutions that the guys work through showcasing the love and deep affection they have for each other and their commitment to their future together. You will grow to love these characters. I beg of you, let's all please support this show so we can have many more seasons!!!
