There were cute together, and I liked seeing where the story progressed after the ending in the first “season.” That being said, it was extremely difficult to not compare everything where it aligned with the first season. Honestly, they did a decent job with the new cast. Onto the elephant in the room: the remaking of the original 2 Moons with a new cast and a storyline that (I heard) more closely follows the novel. It's the type of cliffhanger where it felt really unfinished and rough, as if they basically ended the story abruptly at the climax. The third was iffy and *Spoiler* had a cliffhanger. 2/3 of the couples had perfectly sweet endings. That is, it acknowledged the long-lasting psychological effects that experiences such as rape could have on someone, but it often includes other forms of abuse, such as manipulation, with little or no repercussions. "Love by Chance," at times, does acknowledge the seriousness of some of these offenses, but I do not think it takes it far enough at other times. Rather, they should be treated as serious issues that have real consequences. I've noticed that this is not completely uncommon in Thai dramas, and I'm not saying they cannot be included ever, but I do think they are absolutely not to be made light of just for watchers' entertainment. Things like emotional abuse, rape, and attempted sexual assault were just thrown in to seemingly make things more interesting. On the other hand (there will be some major SPOILERS ahead, so watch out), the drama made light of some really serious issues that I was not comfortable with. The main couple, Pete and Ae, were super cute, and I loved watching their relationship grow. I had a love hate relationship with this drama. I liked that somethings got resolved that were left hanging in the first season, but I just wanted a bit more. How did they even know to do what they did? Overall, as I said, I liked the second season. Like, for example, I completely did not understand the role of Yeon Woo's friends in this. Another thing was that, as usual with these shorter BL dramas, the story line felt rushed and felt like there were gaps in its storytelling. Also, (potential spoiler) they never really resolved what happened to Go Yoo Han. It was slightly annoying how they set them up. That being said, I wish they had shown greater resolve for giving him a new partner.
A lot of BLs seem to suggest that the main characters fall in love and can't fall in love with anyone else ever again, but that's not like reality, so I liked that Yeon Woo had a potential other partner. It was a little silly, but it was refreshing. First of all, I didn't really mind the story line changing with Go Yoo Han disappearing. I really liked the second season of Color Rush, but I did have some thoughts about it. I really wish there would be another season. Although it's not a perfect drama by any standards, it's at least much better than the other one. I highly recommend this one, but please, if you've watched Bad Romance, come into this one with an open mind. It would have been nice to have a little more depth. Also, usually the events revolving around these plot holes were often quite cheesy and overly simple.
They just kind of made me go "really? REALLY?" But they kept the drama going for a little longer so I guess once again I can't complain too much.
My biggest issue with this drama is that there are some obvious plot holes that I'm not going to describe (you'll have to watch to see what I mean). The couple didn't seem all too concerned with the fact that they were portraying a gay couple as two straight guys and seemed to have some genuine chemistry (especially in contrast to some of their awkward encounters in the sequel, Bad Romance, which was actually produced first). Overall, the drama was interesting and the main couple was really cute together. Personally, I could have done without the addition of the two extra couples, as I was mainly interested in the relationship between Knock and Korn, but they did help to add to the storyline a bit, so I can't complain too much. It's complicated by Knock's girlfriend as well as Knock's own indecisiveness. It mainly follows the development of Knock and Korn's relationship from best friends to boyfriends after they drunkenly got together one night. It follows three couples: Knock and Korn, Farm and Bright, and Phu and Kavitra. This drama is one of my all-time favorite BL dramas.
