Theory of Love : Special Episode "Stand By Me" (2020)

Scared my cat

OMG I'm still fan girl screaming so hard! OffGun are just too perfect and this movie proves it. They're chemistry was strong in ToL but somehow they made it stronger this time. I definitely got emotional to the point I was worried I was gonna cry or throw up lol Seeing these two off and on screen is a blessing in itself and I'm so glad someone decided there was room for more ToL. Obviously, I don't think anyone who's a fan of these talented guys will be disappointed. The ONLY reason I don't give it a 10/10 is cause I felt it was repeating the prequel(even if only for a moment). Enjoy...

What a surprise that they made this special episode! I didn't even have the time to build up expectations, but I was definitely a big fan of Theory of Love (please check out my review).

Story-wise this episode doesn't have a lot to offer, which is not surprising, but I feel like they could at least have tried to keep the tone a little more serious. The series had a lot of really emotional and dramatic moments, those were mostly absent in this episode. Also, there was too much voice-over in my opinion; that was a nice addition to the series, but here it became overdominant. And although I agree with comments saying that Gun and Off don't "need" kisses: I believe it is a bad trend in the latest Thai shows not to show intimacies, especially after many series in previous years have dared to show much more than just simple kisses. Theory of Love has some beautiful kiss scenes, which makes the lack thereof in this episode not very believable.

Nonetheless, the visual style of the episode and the soundtrack were fairly consistent with the series. The characters worked well together once again, the setting was nice. The two proposal scenes and the car scene were well done and managed to outbalance the comedic moments to a large extent. With all this said, the special can obviously not reach the 9.5 I had given Theory of Love, but I feel that with 8.5 it is still worth a watch.
