Décevant
Je regardais les notes globales données au drama principal et au special, et le special a une note supérieure, très probablement pour la raison même qui m'a bloquée.Je n'ai pas du tout été réceptive à ce special, car je le trouve trop éloigné de l'esprit de la série originale. J'ai eu du mal à reconnaître les personnages que j'ai aimés, on peut même probablement dire que ce ne sont plus les mêmes. Theory of Love est une comédie dramatique, le special episode est une comédie. Tout se passe bien pour nos quatre protagonistes. Voilà, c'est à peu près tout.
Je ne lui ai tout de même pas donné une mauvaise note tout simplement parce qu'OffGun irradient comme d'habitude. Mais sincèrement, on peut le sauter.

Scared my cat
OMG I'm still fan girl screaming so hard! OffGun are just too perfect and this movie proves it. They're chemistry was strong in ToL but somehow they made it stronger this time. I definitely got emotional to the point I was worried I was gonna cry or throw up lol Seeing these two off and on screen is a blessing in itself and I'm so glad someone decided there was room for more ToL. Obviously, I don't think anyone who's a fan of these talented guys will be disappointed. The ONLY reason I don't give it a 10/10 is cause I felt it was repeating the prequel(even if only for a moment). Enjoy...Cet avis était-il utile?

What a surprise that they made this special episode! I didn't even have the time to build up expectations, but I was definitely a big fan of Theory of Love (please check out my review).Story-wise this episode doesn't have a lot to offer, which is not surprising, but I feel like they could at least have tried to keep the tone a little more serious. The series had a lot of really emotional and dramatic moments, those were mostly absent in this episode. Also, there was too much voice-over in my opinion; that was a nice addition to the series, but here it became overdominant. And although I agree with comments saying that Gun and Off don't "need" kisses: I believe it is a bad trend in the latest Thai shows not to show intimacies, especially after many series in previous years have dared to show much more than just simple kisses. Theory of Love has some beautiful kiss scenes, which makes the lack thereof in this episode not very believable.
Nonetheless, the visual style of the episode and the soundtrack were fairly consistent with the series. The characters worked well together once again, the setting was nice. The two proposal scenes and the car scene were well done and managed to outbalance the comedic moments to a large extent. With all this said, the special can obviously not reach the 9.5 I had given Theory of Love, but I feel that with 8.5 it is still worth a watch.

An hour of my life that I will never get back.
What was the need for such mindless drivel? I've given a 3/10 only because of white + mike. I've liked off and gun in tv shows (gun is so good in the gifted) but this was not it. A stale, toxic relationship. Nothing new or nuanced in the story. GMMTV needs to stop pandering to what cis-women want of gay men and queer-baiting branding exercises for their straight actors in gay male roles.Are there any nice LGBT/queer series that the network has crafted so far in the last two years? Please recommend (if anyone is reading this). I'd like to watch them. Thanks.

THANK YOU FOR THIS SPECIAL EPISODE
I literally just watched ToL a few months ago and watching this special episode made me feel nostalgic.No doubt about the killer chemistry OffGun has! They’re so great together on and off cam. They’re like two pieces of jigsaw puzzle that fits perfectly together. I don’t even care if the storyline for the special ep is too shallow for some, hell, it’s called Special Episode for a reason.
Khai and Third def pulled me out from reality for a second there and let me into their had a taste of how crazy and cute their relationship is. I felt every their emotions, their happiness, and love each other. Third deserves all of it. And Khai is so lucky to have Third in his life.
OST is a major plus in ToL. I don’t even understand the lyrics because I’m not Thai, but the feels of the song is just sooooo perfect! They even played it in a slow version instrumental only and gahd daaaamn that felt good!
If you’re looking for a deep storyline, then this is not for you. It’s just something that warms your heart and make you feel all the fluffs!
I’m actually fine whether they’d have a second season or not.

Story:I like this episode because it's light-hearted, it's good to have something sweet after a depressing series. Feels good that Khai is now the one who's head over heel over Third. My favorite moment is when Khai asked to go for another step forward with Third, (according to the novel) he meant having sex but in this EP. Third only allows him to sleep on the same bed and that is already good enough for him, this is so much better than the novel because he doesn't force Third to do it like in the novel. I also like when Khai literally said Third is his boyfriend to P'Pete, him being a proud but also henpecked boyfriend and how much he cares for Third's well being, he really shows that changed for the better. Their drunk scenes are also cute and their sweetness is out of this world. I also love the proposal (oh how much tears have I shed T.T)
The only bad thing is that the female image is still quite bad though.
Acting/Cast:
Off's acting is very good with the facial expression and the emotions he shows, his fashion taste is top notch and he also improvised the kiss so that's even better. For some reason I feel like Gun's acting is a bit unnatural in the first part of this episode (before the incident happened), the rest is still very good though. Mike, White and even P'Pete is good, natural and funny.
Music:
"Fake Protagonist" is still one of the best OST and I also like the different versions of it that they play along the episode. "The One" is great to end the EP.
One more thing I really like is the production:
The quality of the shots, color and lighting is the same as the series, still one of the best ones out there.
I waited so long for this I even cried when I saw the trailer because I miss them so much, I don't remember how many times I've watched this episode, I still watch this from day to day because they're my emotional support.

It was a 50/50
The only reason I came to watch the special was for off&Gun.why do special episodes seem to come with a difference to what we expected or lack of. This special did kind of tie them up nicely accept that I am sure I like how Gun become a little baby for me, I realize that he needed to change but to much baby side. Story-wise this episode doesn't have a lot to offer, which is not surprising, but I feel like they could at least have tried to keep the tone a little more serious. The series had a lot of really emotional and dramatic moments, those were mostly absent in this episode. Also, there was too much voice-over in my opinion; that was a nice addition to the series, but here it became over dominant. And although I agree with comments saying that Gun and Off don't "need" kisses: I believe it is a bad trend in the latest Thai shows not to show intimacies, especially after many series in previous years have dared to show much more than just simple kisses. Theory of Love has some beautiful kiss scenes, which makes the lack thereof in this episode not very believable.
Overall : Just stick to the series as it tied everything very nicely.

Low stakes and heart-warming
I really enjoyed seeing everyone again and it actually does add a lot to the story — the subplot in this with Khai actually owning up to his mistake is one that I think should've been in the original drama because it showed so much character development, even though we always could tell things were going to turn out okay.There's a lot of voiceover and the light-hearted humor kind of makes this feel like an extended epilogue, but I don't really have a problem with it. Giving this the same rating I gave the show.

Sweet, fuzzy and lovely ending
This special gives a real neat completion to the series. It even talks about how it's no longer "theory of love" but something else.I also appreciate how Kai and Third relationship has grown, especially how much more mature Kai is.
It is a very nice 1 hour watch to warm your heart, brighten your smile and nourish your sleep, before you go for a good night sleep, filled with sweet, fuzzy and love
I also love the ending, not just romance wise, but work wise. It's inspiring to watch how they are passionate about their work and pursuing their dreams while supporting each other.
Total worth it to watch, and rewatch!

A Cute Epilogue For the Characters
This was a cute little way to revisit these characters, but it really didn't do much but allow fans to see their faves one last time. The majority of the plot relied on Khai trying to hide something from Third which Third wouldn't have gotten upset over— especially because Two and Bone were literally right there to back him up? A little honest communication would have fixed everything, so that was a little frustrating.It was sweet, and it was nice to see where the characters end up in a bit more context, but it didn't really add anything to the story. I'm glad I watched it, but it's not necessary viewing by any means.

Better than the show, but not great
Khai suffers from a lot of self-shaming about anything remotely flirty happening between him and anyone else. So that sucked. That being said, I loved how Khai and Third teased each other and all the domestic stuff we got to see. The proposal scenes were very sweet, and overall it leads into the show's ending very well. I just wasn't a fan of Khai's monologue continuously suggesting Third was going to get violent or kill him or leave him because a girl got cuddly with him when he was drunk at a party with friends. The victim-blaming was harsh in his own head.Cet avis était-il utile?
Better Than I Expected
So i re-watched Theory Of Love today, and I found out this special episode existed. I went into this episode thinking it was the 4 guys opening their Production company. I was wrong. Honestly, this episode made the series way better. To see how Third and Khai were together after so long made me fan girl so much. I cried and laughed and the ending of the episode was sooooooo beautifully done. Who knew Khai could be so romantic lol. I love how in this episode, Third didn't get mad about what happened but rather waited for Khai to tell him. I loved how it showed how far their relationship with trust had come. I really wish they had another series of Theory of Love. Who knows, maybe down the line. I suggest watching this if you loved the series. The chemistry between Off and Gun is amazing. Low key ship them for real :PCet avis était-il utile?
