First off effective yung introduction ng characters. We picked up na Third is a hopeless romantic kasi one of the first scenes were of him reviewing romantic movies. And throughout these reviews we ALWAYS see Khai even though he contributes essentially nothing to the videos.
Those scenes establish Khai as a potential love interest as well as a constant presence sa buhay ni Third. Meanwhile, Khai was also effectively introduced as a player and an asshole. The first episode showed that he would more often than not ditch Third to hangout with his girl-
-friend. He treats Third more as a servant rather than a friend, and Third willingly bends to every order kasi he& #39;s hopelessly in love with him.
NEXT POINT, we see both sides. Yes, Khai is a horrible person most of the time. He& #39;s not very good at being a friend and masyado siyang malandi for his own good. On the contrary, there are times when we get to see why Third fell for him. He can be handsome, funny, and caring when
he wants to be. That or marupok lang talaga si Third lmao
THIRD (my baby

Kasi as the series progressed, Third became more and more jaded bc Khai kept on hurting him. You can see how tired he is of loving Khai pero you can also see why he can& #39;t stop.

As for Khai, magaling yung decision ng screenwriters to make the start of the redemption arc brutal. MY MAN LITERALLY GOT IN A CAR CRASH TAPOS HE STILL WENT BACK TO MAKE SUNDO THIRD, NAIYAK AKO DUN PART GRABE. And after all that Third still didn& #39;t forgive him, which is great kasi
-it emphasized how jaded and distrustful he had become because of Khai. Khai had to slowly earn his trust back which is both satisfying to watch and frustrating to wait for.
FOURTH, the bathroom scene and yung explanation ni Khai regarding it. It shed light on how people may react when put in a position they& #39;re not comfortable with. Khai is an asshole, we& #39;ve already established that. So how do you expect him to react to finding out that his
-bestfriends since freshman orientation has actually been in love with him all these years. If you expected him to immediately return Third& #39;s feelings then ya& #39;ll are fools. Pero how they showed him washing his hands after peeing bago niya hinawakhawakan si Third, ughh we stan.
Tapos eto pa, Third& #39;s tear rolling down his cheek when he realized na Khai though he was kissing Praew instead of him, puta yes mami. This ties in to my fifth point which is that Gun& #39;s acting is immaculate, and that& #39;s on what? periodt. Gusto mo proof? Panoorin mo Theory of Love
Tapos ya& #39;ll can& #39;t deny na nainis kayo ng sobra kay Khai, and that proves na his acting style suits his role.
SIXTH, the dynamic bet the actors, uhmm yess? OffGun& #39;s chemistry does it for me. The kissing scenes where both parties reciprocate feels natural. The bathroom scene was hard to watch and it shows their capability as actors kasi it& #39;s a bitter moment and it leaves the audience-
With a bitter taste on their tongues.
SEVENTH, pop culture references are found throughout the series. They& #39;re fun easter eggs tapos somehow ang rewarding nung feeling pag napansin mo. Meron ding mga cinematic parallels sa first few episodes which are cute tbh.
EIGHT, it& #39;s clichè in a good way. Ewan ko sa inyo pero for me, clichè tropes that are effectively portrayed is a yes. Most BL serieses are hinged on clichè tropes naman talaga pero I feel like Theory of Love does its own trope justice when it comes to acting and depiction.
NINTH, engaging side story ni Un at Two. Napakacute?? Need I say more?
TENTH AND LAST, hindi ko alam kung anong ilalagay pero ending this thread on an odd number irks me. So ayun, kung nakarating ka dito sa dulo then thank you for reading? And also, wala ka na bang ibang magawa sa buhay mo lmao.
