Most fandoms play with same sex characters and ship them together but how many movies/series actually focus on same sex relationships? Same sex relationships are quite a hot issue right now in many countries, so the main topic of this series is right on. Love Sick shows what it might be like to some gay teens (and teens overall). This drama shows a very important message, which is one of the reasons I rate it so high up.
The story overall is very touching. The teenage problems the characters have are very easy to relate to. It is all about trying to find your place among others and to find yourself overall. These topics are brought up in the story very well and thus it is nice to watch. Nothing is too exaggerated or unrealistic, which is a huge plus.
Most of the cast is acting for the first time. Despite that, they did a good job. Sadness is an emotion hard to act and sometimes it doesn't look too natural. Most actors and actresses fit their character perfectly. Sometimes I feel like Captain doesn't fit Noh's role, but I got used to it.
The music is okay. Sometimes it ruins the moment, sometimes it enhances the emotions. Most of the songs sound just fine to me. Especially the OST has a place in my heart.
This series has one big minus. I absolutely hate that this series is filled with advertising. I know they might have to do it to cover the costs but they do it so obviously it makes me furious. There are whole scenes that are written just to advertise. They have no meaning for the story whatsoever, but include characters eating a certain food etc. I like my drama a drama. The advertising should go hand in hand with the story. Yes, you can hold that bag of chips or drink some green tea, but I do not enjoy watching a scene dedicated to a sim card and how it works. (I'm sorry, I might mix up the seasons but nevertheless, both have the same kind of advertising.)
Overall, I would (and will) watch this again. I have never watched a drama this great. Definitely worth watching! If you're looking for a school / slice of life drama, please watch this!
