I don't get it! I really, really do not get it! Why is this drama getting so much hate?

It has everything: hot abs, enemies to lovers, sponge baths, great friends, toxic story, regular pacing, mystery....and it is highly bingeable! It also has a lot of bad acting and some horrible main characters.

And still, I have enjoyed watching this immensely: binged it in two days.

The drama tells us the story of a couple who have been together for over two years. One is a former member of a local criminal outlet and the other is a spoilt son of a car shop chain owner. There is a mystery surrounding how they met and a bigger one as to why are they still together because they seem so incompatible: one is serious and hard working while the other one behaves like a spoilt 5 year old throwing tantrums if his cake is delivered too late. Strange enough, apart from parents, nobody finds his behaviour odd. They have a close set of friends who apparently know their story. One day the serious guy gets into an accident and ends up with amnesia: forgetting last three years and therefore not recognizing his boyfriend as well. They continue living together and slowly he and us, both, we discover the hows and the whys of their relationship.

I have to admit I started watching the cut version of this drama and dropped it halfway through: bad acting, bad filming, bad storytelling and awful subs. Then I discovered that there was the uncut version. A completely different story played out in front of my eyes: the first episode was completely re-cut and re-edited, the pacing was much smoother and more logical, the acting was still bad (someone should stop Frank from acting, please! Or if you have to have him, triple the number of acting lessons!) but the subs were much better and the story was gripping! It continued like that till the end: the secrets were revealed steadily throughout the series, nothing was rushed and we were given explanations needed (though I admit somehow rather illogical but I decided not to care about it!).

There were two side couples, apparently in long-term relationships but they are actually just parts of background for the main story: we find out just tiny bits of information about them since they are here only to act as supportive friends for the main couple. Maybe their stories were covered in depth in two first books.

There is an additional plot involving the spoilt brat's cousin who hates his boyfriend and repeatedly tries to kill him. It is a bit unclear and illogical why the cousin,( who by the way looks completely insane with those eyes just waiting to pop out!) is so jealous of him

The actors were quite cute, did not shy from skinship which looked so natural. The music was good and the production looked like they had a serious budget!

Love Syndrome III is definitely in need of more love from the audience: it is so much better than what we are led to believe here. It is a kind of fun, toxic and sexy guilty pleasure BL. No brain needed, everything is rather straightforward and in spite of illogical reasons, the plot moves on at right speed, right enough to keep us guessing and wanting to watch more.
