I have waited so long for Season 2... way too long!!! Before I share my short-ish opinion let me say that I find Thai BL cinema to be a zillion times more interesting than Korean BL movies/shows.
Honestly, I am tired of Korean BL cinema... damn, TH-shows are just so positive and I need that!!! True Romance instead of the same love-death pattern that you will find in most Korean productions.
About the drama- the plot is nothing ground-breaking, two teenage boys falling in love with each other and their (ex)girlfriends not knowing anything or pretending not to know. Lots of love, jealousy, emotions, teen issues, but mostly just fun slice-of-life. The show isn't about social issues such as acceptance or morality, so... if you like those issues tackled in your BL shows then this is show is so not for you.
I gotta say it is refreshing to see a normal slice-of-life drama! Apart from the BL-ity of the leads there's nothing unique about this show- it is a completely normal, dare I say "generic", romance/slice-of-life show. It just happens to have two guys fall in love with each other and I think that's something positive!
I haven't read the novels...and I don't want to spoil myself... but it looks like the majority of people share the same opinion about Love Sick's 1st episode- it was a disaster! And it seems the cast generally agrees... when I turned EP 1 on for the first time it was only to click the X 10 minutes later. I left it alone for a month or two(actually, a little more than that!). That was my first unsuccessful attempt to watch the show. I gave it a try later and left with the same bad impression. Turned out I was so wrong about the whole thing- after coming back from a trip abroad I had a lot of free time and decided to pick up where I left off and oh man was I happy. The show gets better with each episode and you can clearly see the cast evolving, the actors, young guys, finding themselves on stage... if you can get past Episode 1 you will love it!
As it is with Thai shows, expecting deep dialogues is futile. Thai people don't really complicate things so much, which can be hella annoying! I love Love Sick The Series!!!

Watch the Bias- I'm giving it a 10/10 because... I don't know?... Because I love it!
If you asked me to be fair, I'd rate it a 7/10.
