Love By Chance 2: A Chance to Love (2020)

Eh.....Could be better but......

Story
I was really excited when they announced that LBC was getting a season 2 and couldn't wait to see more of Ae/Pete and Tin/Can again, but then the whole thing with Saint happened and I wasn't as excited as before, but then I thought, "okay well at least I'll get to see more of Tin/Can". The first episode happened and it just went "WTF" from there. They completely rewrote Tin/Can's storyline but the other characters lives moved forward for about the first 6 episodes, so the audience were left confused wondering what the hell was happening. We had to deal with an emo Ae for a while with no explanation as to what happened with him and Pete, so only those who read the book had the most understanding as to what was going on this season. It started to pick up from episode 7 and got back on track, but it still didn't get any better. The story kind of still flipped flopped around. Apparently it stayed true to the book version of Tin and Can.

Acting/Cast
Most of the OG casts returned, BUT THEY WERE NOT UTILIZED AT ALL. Guys like Mark and Gun (especially Mark) were barely there even though we were supposed to get some sort of continuation with their story. Earth was the one who was REALLY under used since we got to see him a total of 3 times with 10 second screen time. Mean and Plan kind of felt like they just didn't want to be there and their chemistry wasn't as good as it was in season 1.(Their love scenes and kisses were cringe) Mean was great on his own though, but his scenes with Plan...oye. I blame the script. New comers Meen and Est (Tul and Hin) could've been used more because I finally got into their storyline but they were wasted here too. Perth was the only one that acted well and did a better job. Then the cast started disappearing and then popping up randomly to the point you kind of forget they were actually on the show. (Mai's character & Bow)

Music
It was great. You cannot go wrong with Boy Sompob.

Rewatch Value
None...once was enough.

Overall
Some might like it and others won't. If you're really invested in Tin/Can then watch this. I must admit that they had a lot of really cute moments especially Tin. I loved all of his moments with Can and Can brought some funny moments too. This was honestly a skippable season.

I LOVE IT

This series is worth watching.....honestly speaking i cant say how happy I'm that the series Love by chance season2 is finally out, for those fans & viewers that are disappointed to what really happened, the plot of the series of episode 1&2 , episode 1 continue from season1 episode 14, Can had finally realise that he had fallen inlove with Tin and couldnt just accept it, the main reason can was crying after the football match wasnt only because they lost the match but because he had come to realise what like to lost what you love so much.......their is still 7more episode to catch up on.😘

Confused and Disappointed

I really wanted to wait until the series ended before I gave my review, but I really needed to vent my frustrations with season two.

First of all, the only reason I decided to even invest my time with the sequel was solely because of TinCan. They were one of the best side couples I’ve seen in a bl drama. Their story line and their screen chemistry had me hooked.

Unfortunately, I have to admit that I am struggling with season two. The writers definitely missed their mark on this one. This season is missing SO much, I don’t even know where to begin.

One thing is that I hate the decision the writers made to completely redo TinCan’s story. It totally negates their passion and everything about their love story from the first season, which was utterly perfect for me. I’m sure I’m not alone when I say that I was excited upon hearing the news about the sequel and that we would get to see more of TinCan’s story, but starting from scratch was a bad move on the writers part.

Another major problem for me is the chemistry.
I don’t know what’s going on with TinCan’s spark or lack there of, but I’m just not feeling it, like.... at all. I really want to fall in love with this season the same way I did with the first, but without AePete and the TinCan I remember, I’m left feeling confused and disappointed.

I’d rather have just one really good kiss scene, or no skinship at all, over the lack of passion and lackluster storyline we’re getting from this season. I will continue watching until the end out of respect for the actors that I’ve grown to love, and with the hopes that this season picks up.

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.

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)
