Love by Chance 2 Ep9: a Thai BL Series in Review

Published: Oct. 29, 2020, 1:29 p.m.

In this episode of Check It/Round Table Onna discusses Love by Chance 2, Episode 9 and how this episode features Tin and Can and their relationship as it progresses and also has a side note with Ae and as he reaches out to Pete.  Onna considers how Can though not particularly bright, at all, he does seem to mature intellectually as he spends more time with Tin.   Onna considers the confusing scene at the football field and how it ends with the members of the Team clapping and saying they are proud that Can admitted he liked Tin in front of them in a very comedic way.  Onna digresses into the cuteness of the character of Can and of the actor Plan, this is not meant in a weird way, he just is super funny and cute in his facial expressions and delivery.  

The one shining moment of Can's sister is shown in this episode although it would be more shining if she was not wielding a paring knife.  Can's sister does let Can know that though he wasn't the type of person she saw with Tin, Tin picked Can and Can is her brother and ergo, she will support him because of who he is to her.  Onna considers how Tin's brother Tul is an angry, sexually frustrated (no-offense here--just true), and is bent on destroying Tin because he thinks with Tin gone from the picture his life will be good, which is not of course the same thing, but as the maker of his own world and his creation of his world as one without exits or the belief that things can be good.  

Onna continues the discussion with how Love by Chance 2 also shows a side of Tin that existed before he was betrayed by Tul, and the Tin of that era was naive and trusting, and in many ways, he was a lot like Can, which in many ways might indeed be why he appreciates Can and his personality.  Also, the feature of Ae and his ability to move forward with his care and love for Pete with the distance and his lack of control as Pete moved to France and cut contact, he knew he could not change that fact, but he could determine his reaction to those facts by deciding to post once a day to Facebook and continuing to do so in the spite of the naysayers.  Onna considers how the fact that Ae will do things, even if they are indeed quite difficult because they might help him to reach Pete.  Onna concludes with how  Love by Chance and Love by Chance 2 are based off of a book, Accidentally I Love You, and why this was one of the most inappropriate books and was a travesty of infinite proportions and was not at all like the series as it was extremely adult in content and also quite odd as arranged in a series of blurbs poorly translated into English without illustrations.  It's all here.  It's all real.
