Love By Chance 2 (2020)

Pete Never Shows Up

The story between is the main is bad. I was sitting here waiting for Can to have some kind of epiphany. His character doesn't need to change he just needs to be sad about something with Tin. I need to see Can make it clear to himself he needs Tin at least half as much as Ae needs Pete. The beginning half of the story was just a reiteration and then Can just is with Tin and love Tin now.... because? And all that waiting for Pete to rush back to Ae, to notice what is going on. For nothing. I was like.... oh great a cliffhanger, I need to wait another week..... No. That's it. We will never see Pete and Ae together again. Even I could have got my friends together and made a 10 times better script than this mess. The only thing about this that I was happy about was Tul not being alone and Tin getting loved back after that ending with season 1. Why did you do this to us? No.... nope. I refuse. How are you associated with Tharntype? It's my favorite and I swear if you messed up season 2 of Tharntype next I will be so..... URGH! This made me want to bash my head into a wall! How dare you?!

OK so I'm pretty much disappointed in Lbc s2, not only did they start tin/cans story from the beginning which to me just totally messed up the other story lines, and totally confused the situation, really no need for it.
The chemistry they had from season 1 seems to have stayed there as it definitely weren't in season 2,the kisses were stiff and unfeeling which is sad because I love do love tin and can together, I also felt very disappointed that in s1 when ae and Pete slept together we had full on back to back love scenes about it yet when tin and can slept together it was a two second scene then it was morning I mean, seriously 🤔
I only watched s1 for them so I ain't really to fussed about the ae/Pete situation though I do feel they could of tried harder with ae's character instead of letting him drink and cry throughout most the episodes, that I felt was not only a disrespect but also a waste of perth's talents as an actor. Again not really fussed about kla/no or Tum/tar as I only fast forwarded their bits to be fair because in season 1 they never really interest me. So pretty much disappointed so far, don't know if I'll watch the rest as it already seems spoiled 😒 lol I also realize what's missing from the remake😏can hit tin in the original, he had that anger at tin yet didn't in the second one he was more placid 😕

Meh

I was really waiting for this drama but now...

STORY
The plot has some potential, but I feel like they could have done way way way better. I was bored by 4 full episodes of rebooting TinCan plotline from the 1rst season and after that everything else happened so fast...
They should have developed the story slower and more fully and they also should have given more screen time to the secondary couples:
- KlaNo: we don't see why and how Techno changes his mind about Kengkla. Yes, we can infer that it's because of Kla's love letters (and endless stalking... ahem... patience), but there's no built-up for them.
- TumTar: okay, they unsettled me. We left Tum swearing endless love to Tar and now he's suddenly fallen out of love? How? When? Why? I know that their relationship was controversial, but they could have better handled their storyline. Heck, Tum loved Tar for years!
- TulHin: I love them and probably they're the best side couple of the show. But if you haven't read the original novel you can't really understand their story.

CAST
I don't know what to say. There are a few good scenes overall the drama, but I could feel Plan (Can) awkwardness during kissing and intimate scenes. It felt like he hated them and it broke the spell for me.
Despite the lack of screen time, it was way better the skinship between Meen (Tul) and Est (His).
I really appreciated Perth (Ae)'s acting, especially in the first part of the season when he had more screen time and dramatic scenes.

MUSIC
Nothing particular to say. To me, it was a little bit invasive in the last episode, but I usually don't like when characters sing in order to convey their feelings.

In conclusion: I'm happy to have watched this drama because I needed to see a happy ending for Tin and Can, but I will not rewatch it.

Tincan are funny and cute but the script and direction are both half-assed and poorly managed.

Despite the bedraggled and perplexing nature of the script, the main story revolving around TinCan was rather well done and I enjoyed most of their interactions. Both Tin and Can are two very distinct characters and watching their relationship evolve from dislike to friendship and to a subsequent romance was both hilarious and heartwarming. Can's innocence in contrast to Tin's iciness was just as charming as it was in S1. I also really loved how straightforward both Tin and Can are with each other and how instead of falling into petty misunderstandings due to lack of communication, they both choose to trust each other and talk through their issues while dealing with Tin's problematic brother and complicated family situation. Both the lead actors did a great job as well. Mean and Plan have the kind of chemistry that comes naturally and with ease which is perfect for an unconventional couple like TinCan. Their humorous yet emotional portrayal of the TinCan love story was the only saving grace of this show.

All the other story arc's were pretty redundant and even the existence of some of the characters were rendered moot by their lack of screentime. And some new side characters that were introduced were completely pointless. The klano pairing was disturbing due to what happened between them at the end of S1, tumtar took a rather bizarre turn at the end and suffered from severe lack of screentime and Ae's storyline this time was just frustrating to watch. Tulhin was the only supporting story line that was halfway decent. Although, I have to say that the whole Tin playing cupid for tulhin struck me as odd and unnatural, as well as OOC for Tin.

Other than that, this show is basically yet another example of how a story built on a bad script can't be salvaged regardless of how great the casting is or how big the fan base. How Mame managed to botch up her own story this badly, I'll never know. She took an interesting and unique story and turned it into balderdash.

Another problem here is that what people got wasn't what they were expecting - what fans wanted was the arrogant, ice cold and dangerous looking Tin and the mentally 5 year old cantaloupe and the continuation of their story. Unfortunately, what they got instead was a much softer Tin with a mentally 10 year old cantaloupe with a completely unnecessary rebooted storyline. Add into the equation a bunch of insipid supporting characters with unexplained storylines that goes nowhere and you have got the sequel combination that collectively pissed off the entire LBC fandom in one clean stroke.

Nevertheless, if you can get over the pointless reboot of the main story arc, this show might still be worth a watch, if only for the sake of TinCan. Although, It might be best to go into this with a fresh perspective and as a whole new series instead of considering it as a sequel. Keep LBC 1 as just background reference and start this series as a story independent of it. This series overall gives off a much different vibe than LBC 1. It's tone is much softer and the whole vibe that TinCan gives off is way less volatile as well.

P. S - lots of people seem to disappointed with the lack of kissing scenes especially since Tin and Can are both portrayed as sexually aggressive, but this might be due to the fact that one of the main leads (Plan) was suffering from dengue fever while filming this, so they might have had to cut down those scenes due to health concerns, so, I'm willing to give them a pass.

It's Not the Same Ole LBC1

Okay, I normally do not right formal reviews of these series, as it is (IMO) just a tv or internet series and not a major box office production.

First of all, I generally do not like "redos" of series as they tend to make many changes in the wrong direction. For example, the story may change the actors playing the roles, or change the behavior of the characters from the original to the redo. Often, there are plot changes in the redo that vary from the original, which make it difficult for the audience to follow and comprehend. Such is the case with Love By Chance 2: A Chance to Love (LBC2).

In this redo version of Love by Chance (LBC1), what the fans were expecting was the continuation of the Tin/Can love story that ended not too favorably in LBC1. Specifically, that story line ended with Can rejecting Tin's request to become and couple and having Tin give a "crying shower" scene that brought down the house. Instead, the fans received a "retelling" of the original love story minus many of the original characters and the addition of new characters. To say that this "new" story line was confusing, would be an understatement. The redo also changed a few actors playing familiar roles, such as a younger, more handsome version of Tin's brother, "Tul." More importantly, IMO, was that redo changed the behavior of the two main characters, Tin and Can. In LBC1, Tin was snobbish, arrogant, at times unfeeling, and lonely. It was established that the reason Tin was they way was due to the torment of him by his family, mainly his older brother Tul. However, in LBC2, Tin is creepy and distant, and giving an air of some type of psychopath. Can on the other hand, in LBC1, is portrayed as naive, slightly childish, loving of his family, and immensely loyal to his friends. In LBC2, Can is very weak minded, silly, and not nearly as loyal in defense of his friends. I think in LBC2, both Tin and Can's characters were NOT the same as their characters in LBC1. Therefore, it was difficult as a fan to actually believe their love story progress in LBC2 as it did in LBC1.

LBC2 also glossed over the other story lines in the series from LBC1. The Kla/No story, which was terrible IMO, was given a little screen time, as was the Tar/Tum story line. At least there was some finality and closure with the Tar/Tum story line that kind of may sense, even if it took several episodes within the story to flesh out. Now, as for the Kla/No story, there was no definitive resolution, possibly setting the premise for LBC3. Finally, although the Ae/Pete story was not as significant to LBC2 as it was in LBC1, the way in which the series handled Pete not being in the series, and the behavior of Ae in the series was a total mess. Any good writer or director "worth his salt" (a western expression) could've made much better use of Ae's screen time than what was portrayed. Ae's character in LBC2 was a waste of space. It would've probably been better NOT to even have the character in the series. It also probably would've been better to do a complete "reboot" of the series, with all new actors in the roles, similar to what was done in 2Moons and 2Moons2. Each was distinctive. Each had its good and bad points. And, each was different enough to separate it from the other.

If you're a diehard LBC1 fan, and I am (along with many others), then watch LBC2 and attempt to have an open mind. Because, it is different. The question you'll have to answer for yourself is this, "Is different okay?"

Good and Disappointing

Disappointed in AE. He cried too much and I liked him better when he was more like a guy and not like a girl. Sorry. Just my opinion. Nothing wrong with a gay guy looking and acting like a guy like he did in season 1 . It does happen in real life. The best was the ending with Tin resolving his childhood trauma. Good surprise value and good writing. Can (Plan) was better in season 1. More genuine and believable. Not enough of other characters it was like they were cameos. Just dumfounded that the ending scene was him getting a text from I can't even remember his name, so like...who cares??? This is total case where the out side drama effected my opinion of the story. Be careful guys. Don't air out your dirty laundry in publics.

my thoughts about love by a chance

well;; actually idk what to say about this series, i remember after the series came out i was waiting for a new episode every day so i can tell you that this series is amazing but i still find the story a bit of a mess. idk what the writer was thinking when he wrote about Pete break up with Ae but when i was digging through internet i was reading the novel and basically i saw this was planned in the novel so thats fair enough

i rlly want season 3 cuz the story of Kengkla and Techno isnt clear

Can and Tin are rlly cute bl ship, they have everything to look at as a couple but why would SEASON 2 eventally need to be just from the start.. anyway im not complaining i just think that wasnt okay but ya know i still like it

i think that season 3 need to be for Kengkla and Techno that will be a good concept of the series, season 1 about Ae and Pete, season 2 about Can and Tin and season 3 about Kengkla and Techno, every season each couple for me thats a rlly cool concept

- thank you readers,
and thank you for all the ppl who work hard for the series
ขอขอบคุณสำหรับทุก!

Part 3 PLEASE! , justice for the story of AEand PETE

That last text message will make you cry!

Good thing, They dont give AE different love interest. KODUS for that.

Hoping Saint and Perth will have a come back. That will be an epic if that will happen.


F*ck those people behind the issue causing all the mess on the artists. But thank you, cause if not. This season and story will that just be boring.


Another thing, its confusing how part 1 to 6 of tincan story is a recap while ae and pete are on the right track?

Techno and kla, has the longest build up. Another boring part.

Tum is such a cutie, he deserve to have new partner.

All in all. Please watch season 1, and we hope there is part three.

Im back AE -PETE.

I am sooooo disappointed (it could've been better and I had high expectations)
Things I disliked:
*The scenes they re-filmed were wayyyy better in the LBC1
*There are missing characters that I loved in the first season like Good and Pond's gf
*The very messed up timeline that made no sense no matter how much I tried to find excuses to it I couldn't. I mean they could've just mentioned that AePete were no longer 2gether since, in the book, TinCan reunited after a month so anything could happen in a month.
*I felt offended with the way they dealt with KlaNo couple it was both disrespectful to fans and actors I mean they didn't even get a proper complete scene!!
*Tin's family issues were so easily solved and wrapped up in no time, that all the drama they showed in LBC1 seemed exaggerated and ridiculous, Tin's father knew about how Tul framed Tin and didn't do anything now he dares say it was for his well being (the whole drag scandal is very serious and dangerous) but I'm not surprised since we've seen how the author dealt with worse issues in tharntype!!
The things that got me going :
*Tincan (<3 <3 <3 they had many sweet moments that gave me butterflies in my tummy I LOVE THEM)
*Hin the new character (BEST character ever)
*Perth's acting (WOW)

It could be better

Yeah I had completed the season today and when I watched the first episode I was confused what's going it take time for me too understand what's going on and I really don't like the we get a rewind of season 1 in 7 episodes like really for me I thought Tin and Can are meeting for the first time and I was like they were actually pretty close in season 1 and in season two I thought for one moment I was watching season 1 again and the fact that we don't have Ae and Pete so the main couple were Tin and Can so they just focused on them it's a good thing but if you are going to give us the repeat of season 1 so they could have focused on KlaNo because till the last episode I was confused when did Techno forgave Kla and we don't get enough screen time or character development and let's talk TumTar or KeenTum dude they didn't have a screen time at all and in the second last episode we just see TumTar ending as Brother relationship and Tar says to him to move forward with Keen because Keen likes Tum but never gets the courage and in the last episode we could have atleast have KeenTum little bit scene of chemistry or something else but we didn't get any scene I was disappointed and now my favourite couple was HinTul the fact when I watched the first scene of them in episode 3 or 4 I can't remember but I fall in love with the chemistry of them and I was happy for their happy ending and now talk about Ae we just saw him crying and drunk in the first 3 episodes and then suddenly we just saw him move on and in the last we saw a Pete message I am back and the season ends and I was like WTF dude if they make another season I don't think so they will made and if they make please don't do the exact same mistake but I want the third season of this

watch only for tincan

okay
so the first 7 episodes didn't feel like a season 2 to me they just repeated the story again but removed pete / saint from their storyline
I just didn't like that season 2 had season 1's part but just in a different manner
there were alot of characters missing in the season 2
I love that tincan had a season 2 I love that but still I wish this drama just had tincan as their main focus cause they didn't have a lot of moments together (or maybe I just love them so much and I can't get enough of them)
I love how tins past was showed and I love how supportive and great all the family members were ...
I want to know more about tins brother relationship and phupha too
I like that tar and stepbrother ( forgot the name) didn't become the endgame
I thought that Maybe perth will have a new love interest but I'm happy he didn't cause in the end I guess his love came back
I would only watch this drama from episode 8 to 13 because otherwise it's too boring and I watched season 1 and 2 back to back
I wasted my time watching 1st 8 episode
there are alot of people saying that pergs character has changed alot while I do agree I think that maybe if we were abandoned by the love of our life I'd have the same reaction so I don't feel too irritated by that
I love the friendship of ae and pond

there are alot of problems in this drama but I didnt get that mad because tincan was too cute


BUT IF YOU ARE WATCHING THIS DRAMA PLEASE SKIP 7 EPISODES AND WATCH FROM EPISODE 8 ONLY....
bye thanks for reading ....
