Theory of Love: Why You Should Watch It; 𝙖 𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙞𝙚𝙨 𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬, 𝙞𝙣 𝙖 𝙩𝙝𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙙 https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable=

Growing up, I& #39;ve never actually believed in the thought of falling in love a first glance. In fact, I& #39;ve never believed that love is a feeling that could be acquired merely from looking at someone& #39;s physical attributes. I& #39;ve always believed that love takes time to develop.

That love takes more than just "feeling" something from someone. That love is selfless. That love is kind. That love is every good thing in the entirety of the universe. But, ironically, love can also make you, or break you. It would always depend on the circumstances.

Most of the series that I have watched, whether it be BL or not, normally portrayed love as something delightful; something that "makes your day". They display scenes which make their audiences perceive love as a necessity for happiness. Perhaps, that sentiment may be true.

However, love, or even falling in love, does not always encompass only good experiences, but also bad ones. This idea is evident in modern day relationships, as to many people have issues when it comes to handling one (an opinion).

With this, many series have adapted the idea, so as to connect with their audiences through the use of emotional scenes, and light-hearted moments. And in "Theory of Love", a Thai BL series which aired in 2019, I& #39;m sure that one will experience a whole new level of love and pain.

[PLOT]
"Third is a film major, together with his friends Two, Bone, and Khai, in their squad named "Savage Team". However, Third has one big secret: he is in love with his best friend Khai. And in a span of three years, he has always kept his heart open for Khai, supporting him.

Khai, however, is completely oblivious to the fact that Third has feelings for him, so he ends up collaterally hurting Third with his actions. Despite this, Third decides to keep on loving Khai, and supporting him without a guaranteed reciprocation of his feelings.

Due to the unbearable pain Khai causes him, Third tries to see Khai as only a friend, so as not to hurt himself, but fails to do so. Until one day, the most painful heartbreak has caused Third to stop loving Khai completely. But when Third decides to stop, Khai decides to start."

Having watched many BL series already, I could say that the plot of "Theory of Love" is not a conventional one, for two reasons: One, the setting, and; Two, the story and character developments.

First, the setting. It is common for most BL series to have its characters belong in the Faculty of Engineering, such as, but not limited to, "Sotus", "Why RU?", and "Love By Chance".

For this reason, many people have come to believe that Engineering is the only faculty where you may find successful gay couples (a claim, don& #39;t fight me). However, "Theory of Love" has eradicated that "Engineering" norm.

The characters are all Film students, which may/may not (for you) make the story more interesting. For me, having other faculties involved gives this idea that people from the LGBTQ+ community are all across the world, and thus, need to be treated with love and utmost respect.

Moving on, the character and story developments are also one of the best things in the series. Khai, during the first part of the story, was an absolute "bastard" because of his actions. Eventually, he realized his selfishness and obliviousness, and changed his old selfish ways.

As for Third, from being a very "brittle" (marupok), making every decision stemming from his love for Khai; he realized that he should save himself from the pain, and learn to make more decisions with the use of both his "thinking" and "feeling". Third, indeed, became wiser.

Two, one of Khai and Third& #39;s best friends, also developed throughout the series. After a constant battle with his heart and mind, he learned to embrace new opportunities, and welcomed someone he truly loved in his life, and also someone who loved him all the same.

Lastly, Bone. I personally don& #39;t believe that he had any character development, since he has always been such a heroic person, by doing good things for the ones he loves, even though those good things are left unreciprocated. (Bone is the man to be, to be honest)

As for the acting Gun Attaphan Punsawat (Third), has definitely exceeded my expectations when it comes to bringing out a very impactful and emotional scene. His tears and gestures all felt very genuine. In fact, one could say that Gun has definitely immersed himself in his role.

Off Jumpol Adulkittiporn also did quite well as the character, Khai. I and my friends share the same sentiment, when we say that Off has definitely pulled an aplomb throughout the entire series. Through his facial expressions and movements, he made the series seem true to life.

Their best friends White Nawat Phumphothingam (Two), and Mike Chinnarat Siriphongchawalit (Bone), also did pretty well in their acting as supportive best friends. Actually, they all seem like they& #39;re all really close in real life. I hope so, though!

The lines of the characters in the series were also one of the commendable aspects of it. (Kudos to the writers of this series, by the way!) I believe that each line was well though of, and the entirety of the script was also planned out amazingly. Of course, I& #39;ll back my claim.

During the most heartbreaking scenes, the lines fit the emotion of the character pretty well. If the scene is meant for the audience to cry, they will cry. If the scene is meant to make the audience mad, they will, definitely, get mad. Furthermore, the lines also feel natural.

Lastly, the theme. I think that in every series or film, the theme is the most monumental part. If a film is able to impart the moral it would like to impart to its audience, then it could definitely be considered a successful film. And I think "Theory of Love" is just like that.

"Theory of Love" taught me that love is one of the things in the universe that takes patience, forgiveness, understanding, and sacrifice. In a nutshell, love is not easy. It takes time to develop, and it takes time to prosper. Also, in order to love, you must love yourself first.

But most importantly, "Theory of Love" taught me that love is also that; a theory. Each of us have our own experiences of love; each of us share our own stories of idylls and heartbreaks. But at the end of the day, we all experience that "love". The force that unifies all of us.

Never invalidate other people& #39;s experiences. Never invalidate other people& #39;s emotions. We are all entitled to love for our own reasons, and choose to love whoever we want to. We all just have to learn to respect one another, and help each other grow in the process.

That is why, "Theory of Love" is definitely a must-watch. Because aside from these that I have mentioned about it, I am sure you have your own experiences to discover while watching it, too. So, watch "Theory of Love"! Discover your love& #39;s own theory.
