Theory of Love Live Blogging
Another OffGun show! After I watch this, I would’ve watched all the first full-length BLs of the GMMTV original trio or whatever (SOTUS, Dark Blue Kiss, Theory of Love).
I’ve seen so many clips and no random stuff about it because people reference it often (esp because I started getting into OffGun since I liked Not Me and SeanWhite), so it’ll be interesting to see the context of those clips and references.
I’m expecting it to be a frustrating and angsty show, sprinkled with humour.
Also note to self: remember to watch the deleted scenes and Special
Episode 1 (May 30)
1-1
yo, great start actually. all the movies Third reviews involves falling in love with your friend with Khai always in the background, sometimes mirroring what Third’s talking about (like Third talking about the character being jealous when the friend they like is being lovey-dovey and Khai starts talking sweetly on the phone)
Khai’s a cheater? 😭 with twins no less, he’s a menace. i support being a slut but be one who communicates and is honest. anyway any twin stuff and off obviously reminds me of not me
lol Third’s dramatics. I didn’t realize the shower crying was straight up from the first episode
ew why is Two so sleazy? Khai is too a bit but Two’s scene with the photography thing was so uncomfortable
dang Khai really doesn’t give Third a break. First hit him with all the begging and bribing to get BP tickets and then after Third goes through all the trouble, dash his hopes of going together by getting the tickets himself and going with the girl he’s seeing. It’s not necessarily Khai’s fault that Third’s crushing on him so hard and he didn’t even know Third bought an extra ticket to go with him but the way he acts is still a bit dickish
1-2
Khai a dumbass for that very public provocation
Khai really knows how to get Third to do stuff by putting on that cute act
trying to remember if this is the outfit Third wore in the ubiquitous clip of seeing Khai and crying while eating a burrito
oh yes, pretty sure the outfit he changed into is it
I get why Third’s in the state he is though like if Khai was just leeching off of him or getting him to run errands, Third could probably get over him easier but the guy repays him by doing the movie review and suggests going to the movies together, so it would hurt more when he’s let down (especially since he defended Khai against Two and Bone)
1-3
Third’s subdued reaction, just the teary eyes, is so good
“Knowing how stupid it is to do what he’s doing, he does it anyway.” At least Third’s self aware to an extent, although he does view life/the events in a dramatic, movie way.
1-4
girl the bidet?!
third really fell at first sight, dang
alskdja the way my eyes widened at Two directly asking Third if he liked Khai. He seems sympathetic enough, at least
Episode 2 (May 30)
2-1
lol Two is certainly eager to help Third
Are there female characters in this who isn’t either a shitty girlfriend or has any life/personality outside of squealing over which guys the show wants the audience to find attractive
not Khai being jealous already. Question is whether it’s a “i like him and am jealous without realizing” thing or “umm Third must pay me the most attention and help me always” selfish thing
Khai talks so sweetly to him sometimes for real “If I didn’t have you, how would I live?” like my guy you’re killing Third
2-3
ooh I saw a bit of a clip of the 10 Things I Hate About You recreation, didn’t realize Third was just imagining it lol It would’ve been so fun if I was actually familiar with the movies the show’s referencing
2-4
Gun’s character being bold and confessing here and also in Puppy Honey is interesting. I like forwardness in characters who are expected to be the one being pursued based on stature/tropes/archetypes
is Khai actually that dense or just letting Third down easy?
Two and Third’s plans are so alskdjak 😭 freaking funny
alskdja not the “Don’t say this to other people, they’ll fall in love with you” from Khai to Third! Idk how Third’s trudging along, all of Khai’s lines would mess with my head so much
They succeeded in creating the most contrived roommates plot though, so thanks for making this little domestic montage possible.
ooh, is this one of the love interest girls who’s supposed to be a fine woman, the first one in the show?
her wanting a romantic, stress-free one so that she doesn’t have to do critical thinking soooo true
Episode 3 (May 31)
3-1
The furniture shopping! I saw a clip of this before too. friends to lovers + roommates lends itself to so much domesticity before they’re dating (which means, once again, RIP Third)
Also, this episode is called Friends With Benefits (in English) and I was huh? So I looked at each episode’s poster on MDL and seems like each episode is named after a different movie. That’s so cool, wish I freaking watched any of them lol
Khai’s such an asshole, why is he acting like Third’s his chef/cleaner/home caretaker T.T It’d make him seem less like an asshole if they had a conversation about Third paying him for letting him stay in his condo by doing chores around the house but still somewhat asshole-ish because he’s so... dismissive toward Third
Khai bragging about his sexual prowess/stamina to Third lmfao
“I think I’ve made a wrong decision moving in with him” yeah, I’m not actually sure what you were trying to accomplish
took a little break to go through tiktok for a bit and lost my entire mind at this one where kinn slaps porsche a little. [extremely nsfw thoughts] anyway, i’m back now again ig
3-2
Ooh, the girl Two likes played May in SOTUS. I know Two and Earth’s character gets together and this is an unrequited crush I think?
No way Faisah also turned out to be a freaking weirdo? Grabbing Third’s phone like that, bruh no way. Is it that they make Khai’s gfs terrible so that we want him and Third to be together even more?
Bro Khai’s assholery never ends fr
3-3
THIRD NO
Third knowing full well his crush and the girl are gonna be in bed together and still taking a peek and then crying his heart out. my guy... why did you do that to yourself
I don’t care about Two’s crush Lynn
Khai turning the “oh you like me living with you because you practically get a live in maid” to “no, my life’s been better with you in it” is so genius of him. Third really does need to move out
but rip Khai saying he cares about Third more than Faisah probably touched Third’s heart even though he obviously will care more about his friend than the girl he doesn’t like?! this dude’s words just pulls Third back in every time
3-4
“Between a girl and my friend, who do you think I’d choose” “Friend?” “Girl.” “Why’d you ask me then?” “I’m saying it’s different. With girls I use my body. With you, I use my heart.” Khai is seriously soooooo laksfj
To nobody’s surprise, Third stays
Episode 4 (May 31)
4-1
Crying, was the egg + hand motion supposed to resemble grabbing balls?!
They’re really selling small, short, long, jumbo sausages! And whoever buys can do whatever they want to them T.T dead. Also replayed Khai’s “not choking!” a few times lol
“Why do I have to have feelings for a douchebag like him?” lmao rip Third
Third: Don’t sweettalk me. Khai: sweettalks him. Third: fuck!
4-2
I don’t care about Bone’s side romance either but I do like it when younger man likes a older woman, so maybe they’ll win me over
All these casual indirect kisses gonna make Third’s brain explode
“You already have dark skin, don’t let your heart be dark too!” NOT THIS?!
Bro Khai even says “I have a date with you” like truly how is Third supposed to get over him?
4-3
Man, this is actually so </333 Third talking about how the main leads have different opinions and we just saw Khai and Third have different opinions, how the FL has an unrequited love at the beginning of the movie but the ML pursues her by the end and we know that’s how this show will go ahh </33
Bro I don’t care about Bone being stood up, sorry!
Don’t these people have passwords on their laptops tf
Bruh, Two’s “I came first” logic is so ?? Okay, who gives a shit if you liked her since high school, if she doesn’t like you then get over her. I was annoyed at Un first cuz who cares if Two has a crush but now I’m just annoyed at both.
4-4
What is up with Khai? Why’s so nice and attentive toward Third? It’s gonna hurt even more when Khai starts being dickish again
Dude, Khai’s even letting Third ride Chawee when only his faen would be allowed on it? Even said Third’s living with him like he’s his faen anyway T.T Is it Khai’s freaking plan to make Third fall for him and unable to get over him or something
Not the singing scene lol but then the little montage of Third thinking of all the nice things Khai’s done for him ummm why is Khai being so nice, it’s making me nervous
it’s like a lower level “I bet I can make them fall for me” bet where Khai did all the same things as one would do for the previous bet but with the intention of figuring out whether Third likes him. Shitty to do all that for someone you don’t like
“I forgot what an asshole he was” I didn’t forget but if I didn’t know the beats of this story, I might’ve bought it lol. He really was sooo sugary and nice and flirty this episode
Episode 5 (May 31/June 1)
5-1
Finally Third’s gonna try to get over him, I guess. rip Khai being confused as all hell though
Oh, I know apparently Khai finds some video confession that Third likes him, is this the video he’ll find?
5-2
Is this foreshadowing the motorcycle accident I know is gonna come
lmfao Third getting frustrated and angry thinking of 10 Things He Hates About Khai
There are many things I don’t want in my BLs and “guy hanging around the girl he likes and ~consoling~ her when she fights with her bf to show that he’s a good friend and secretly waiting for his chance” or whatever is one of them. I wouldn’t have thought this much into it if he didn’t have the “why should I get over her, I was here first” thing. The word Un uses for him in 5-3 is opportunistic.
I don’t care about Two or Bone’s side relationships but is Bone pretending that he’s older, around the woman’s age?
5-4
rip Third shaming Khai for “whoring around” like bro he’s allowed to whore around all he wants, what’s bad is that he doesn’t take into account how he affects other people
Wait, hold on the girl telling Khai “Good boy. You’ll be rewarded for your obedience.” Okayyyy *eyes emoji*
Third don’t stir up shit right now, I need to see more of Khai be obedient to this girl >.<
I mean ?! Third and Khai are both being assholes right now but is it fair for them all to gang up on Khai? Khai definitely shouldn’t have said the “until he’s my bitch” thing but Third hasn’t been speaking nicely about Khai either. They enabled his behaviour for so long but now they’re all feeling guilty since it hurts their other friend Third? Even though their other friend isn’t being nice to Khai either.
No like Two and Bone are leaving Khai to do his part of the project for what reason? They’re not better than Khai in terms of sleeping around, so they’re only mad at him for the Third thing but like... Khai hasn’t always been nice to Third anyway and Third was also being an asshole, so why are they icing out Khai so much?
Oof, how do I feel about that scene where Khai returns the laptop. I’m guessing he saw the file Third made and knows Third likes him because people said that happens? Khai seemed... careful. Is it too early in the show for that?
lmfao Bone’s been ditching the class his crush has started teaching
Episode 6 (June 1)
6-1
Wait... does Khai not know that Third likes him them? I would think that maybe he’d be nice enough to not drag Third along to buy his girl a lipstick if he knew.
This is so fucked up, the chance of Third getting over Khai when they keep hanging around each other is 0%
first of all, if you get drunk enough that you just go kissing random people without asking and stuff, fuck you. second of all, calling a different person’s name ?! T.T I think I did hear that Khai did that but forgot and was just :0 when he said Praew
that kiss sucked on several different levels, like Khai’s so incredibly drunk and won’t remember it probably, Third looks so uncomfortable, then Khai talking about how much he loves Praew rip
6-2
T.T rip Third. Him saying “I love you” in his head repeatedly while wishing Khai’s relationship well was </3
Also, I guess this means Khai didn’t see the video confession
Un’s annoying with his threats to expose Two’s crush to Lynn if he doesn’t work for Un blagh
idk what it is but I don’t feel any chemistry or feel giddy seeing Two and Un antagonize each other or be nice to each other.
6-3
I know this is before COVID but Un keeping his mask off and coughing everywhere is alksdfj no
Bro I don’t get why I’m not into Two and Un at all. Un this whole part was doing nice things for Two and if it was another couple I would’ve been so giddy (dying thinking of Cutie Pie NuerSyn having these scenes) but they make me feel nothing at all
6-4
Third finally putting some distance between them
Wait what’s this time jump. So for a week or two or three? we see Khai longing looking at Third who’s pulling away and then apparently Khai’s not been to school for weeks cuz he’s at home?
man Khai’s such a dick!!!! Emotional intelligence and kindness level -100. Shitty plan to make Third get over him by hurting him so bad and thennnn thinking that’ll lead to them going back to being great friends like before??? did Not Me Sean create this plan?
Anyway, deeply, deeply hoping that the character development Khai’s supposed to have is well-written, sensible, and still in-character. I want a Khai who gradually understands his errors and strives to be better and there should be a natural, gradual progression rather than 1) him becoming a very different person or 2) the changes being erratic or nonsensical.
Please!
Episode 7 (June 1)
7-1
lol Khai sitting here imagining what his date with Third would be like. The imaginary Third wanting a Rolex killed me
Khai’s so nervous and cautious around Third
7-2
Bruh, Bone’s a bonehead. Why would Paan use this serious job just to punish him? I don’t hate their storyline but get annoyed sometimes
:0 Third’s auctioning off Khai’s birthday gift? That’d stinggggg if that was me
Me while converting Khai and Un’s bidding prices for Flipped from baht to cahd -> O.O
Is this setting up a little Un interested in Third thing? I saw a clip where Khai saw the two of them hanging out at the mall
Bro, I need Third’s narration again. I got used to it for 6 episodes, so being in Khai position where he’s guessing what Third’s thinking isn’t satisfying enough lol I want to know how he feels about Khai right now and where he is on the In Love In Love In Love to Totally Over Him scale
I haven’t been reading the comments for this show but maybe I should’ve. Just learned the auction scene is a reference to Flipped! That’s cute since they’re betting on Flipped and apparently Flipped also has a POV shift halfway through like this show
7-3
lmfao Un and Bone just having to witness their 2 friends like each other but not at the same time. Interesting that Two’s not supportive of Khai going after Third.
Khai willing to do both Two and Bone’s parts in the project to get to spend time with Third? My guy, how deep have you fallen?
Khai’s nervousness is quite cute >.< Though it did lead to Third thinking he was jerking off in the bathroom lol
7-4
Is Khai the one sending him the extra treats? in front of the rest of the crew? Should’ve at least done like “everyone gets x and y and also Third gets z from a secret admirer” so that it’s not a clear favoritism from the upper people or something
Not Khai’s “o ho, rich, attractive, womanizer, hurts people without remorse, who could it be? does such a person exist?” T.T It’s not even that he fits the characters, he is the character since Third wrote it based on him lol It’s also funny because everyone in the room also knew he fit every single one of those characteristics, including the asshole behaviour.
Aak, not the script reading that mirrors their own relationship
I think Khai’s POV is humorous and also Off plays him so cute/endearingly, I need to reread what I read for the first few episodes because I gotta remember why Third’s not tryna mess with him lol.
Episode 8 (June 2)
8-1
dang Third’s sooo apathetic towards Khai now, rip. idk how you go from liking someone so much that you put up with such bullshit to just... not giving a fuck. I wish we could hear from Third
Dang, would Khai have confessed?
Oof, Un and Third. Third’s so smiley toward Un too rip
8-2
I simply don’t care about Two and Lynn
“I’m here to pick up-” “A girl?” Yeah no wonder Third’s ignoring him since he doesn’t really have reason to believe Khai’s not chasing girls anymore
8-3
Bone and Prof Paan are kinda cute as long as they have minimal scenes sprinkled throughout
Oof, here’s the scene of Khai seeing Un and Third at the mall. At least Third never told Khai he’d be there then ditched, which is what Khai had done.
Bruh, not the pathetic, crying Khai! </3 </3 </3 I wish he wasn’t so selfish that he couldn’t understand the effects of his actions on other people until he felt the same emotions but I’m glad to see some realizatoins and remorse from him.
8-4
If I cared more about Two or UnTwo, Two seeing Un say the same things to Third that he said to Two would’ve been so good! The hurt! But I don’t really care lol
??? O.O Khai you dumbass why are you thinking of and tryna kiss a sleeping Third. He literally was just thinking that kissing Third “drunkenly” was a dick move, so what’s he pulling now?
I knew it was coming but I don’t really like the accident trope, so we’ll see how they handle it I guess
Episode 9 (June 1)
9-1
The Punn or Black vibes here :0 They
Bruh the friends all hacking into Third’s Line T.T y’all are all too much
AND THEN USING THE WRONG GC ABOUT THEIR FINDINGS LKJASDF
It does suck that Third had no reaction to Khai’s apology but a) it’s not a good apology and b) “I won’t hurt you from here on out” is a useless thing to say when within the last day or so, he’s kissed him in his sleep + aided in looking through his Line chats
9-2
Khai’s parents are shitty lol Their complete disinterest in him despite his accident
Khai not putting up a fuss when Un joins them and even trying to lighten the atmosphere because he thinks Third wants to be with Un... this is the type of character development I want to seeeee
Are we gonna get the bathtub scene I’ve encountered so many times lol
9-3
T.T This bathing scene is actually so T.T It’s so soft, so cute, I’m so fond, it’s so tender and domestic
:00 he’s bringing up the sleep kiss before the accident
The bath scene is seriously my favourite in the show thus far
Aww Bone’s prof is getting married and he’s gonna have to edit their wedding stuff </3
What do you mean by the wedding is “Indian theme” I’ll break your knees
9-4
Girl not Khai coming in and next question coincidentally being “Never Have I Ever had a crush on my best friend”
Them both drinking O.O Then Un immediately coming in and sitting on the handle of Third’s chair lol
Third’s facial expressions after Khai talks about him liking cheese flavour
No wayyyyyy “The person Third likes” 3 people at once chiming up with “P’Un” alksdf At least Bone and Two look like they’re thinking “oh what a fucked up situation” though i guess only Bone thinks that and Two is like fucked up over his crush on Un
nooo show me what Praew said right nowww but also I don’t wanna know cuz if she said the truth then rip KhaiThird after Third learns Khai hurt him that much on purpose
P’Shane’s “You can tell me anything, I’m a nosy person” lol
Girl I cannot watch the rest of this lmfao Khai just started beating up Un for making out with a girl? Not to mention he doesn’t even know Praew told Third the truth presumably. I actually can’t make myself watch but also I wanna know aghhh the ending of every episode is just “oh shit oh fuck confrontation/consequence/big reveal” and it’s stressful
no way, I continued watching and Khai calls Third stupid, maybe I really should stop so that I can go to sleep after this
NOT A PUBLIC LOVE CONFESSION FROM KHAI AAKLSFJ
I think episode 9 is my favourite episode so far and includes my favourite scene: the bath
Episode 10 (June 3/4)
Ahh, nervous nervous
10-1
Aak, it’s too public and dramatic, I keep pausing lol
Shane’s “it’s a win-win” is killing me lol, mans lie got Khai and Two heartbroken and Un beat up
Gosh, how would I even feel if I was Third right now? I miss hearing his thoughts from the first half.
“What kind of game are you playing with me now?” Fuuuckkkk okay I guess we know what Third’s thinking/feeling now
“I’ll try to become a better person and wait for the day you like me again” T.T
...how do I feel about Khai basically leading them through a date even though Third didn’t agree to a date
Third dying from how nicely Khai’s treating him... I can’t help be suspicious rip like okay you can be nice on a date but what about in general
>.< Two and Bone teasing themmm
pausing as soon as Khai texts “Should we just tell them we’re a couple” because ?? I wouldn’t have a good reaction to that and I can’t imagine Third having a good reaction to that, they haven’t decided anything, they have a long history, it’s just their first date. They’re not a couple yet!
Okay, I would’ve been more annoyed but “a couple, my ass!” is fine too
noo Third’s “Alright, I’m a loser. I went soft and came with him” is so laskdfj cute to meeee. Can’t win against Khai’s charms rip what a bastard
“But when he first starts dating some, he usually does this” Yeah! I know Third knows it from the first half of the story but I worry that writers will make the characters forget, so I’m glad he hasn’t forgotten
Naurrr the headband that Third kept in his Khai box has its companion on display in Khai’s table because he kept it !! for 3 years !! because it brought Third to him !!
Oh, is this when they kiss? I’ve seen clips and I think they were standing around here
This part was cute but I know some fucked up stuff’s gonna happen later in this episode or the cursed 11th ep agh :< I’ve seen clips of where Third comes in drinking from a bottle and sees Khai kiss a girl and then kisses a guy, who Khai then punches. I don’t want it to happen rip
I’ll watch tomorrow
10-2
Oh yeah, kiss. Much better than their Puppy Honey one.
Why is Khai so pushy for Third’s answer? He can’t be patient for even a little bit?
Not the cute, cute montage >.< Playing footsie, the kiss -> sit ups maneuver I’ve seen clips of
10-3
I don’t care about the Un/Two/Lynn stuff, let’s move along now
Khai texting while on his bike?!?! After his accident?! dumbassery
Pls not the “give me a lift pls” and I guess he’s gonna be seen by Third with Khai having the girl on his bike or smth? dumbassery
10-4
“Who were you talking to?” “No one.” “But I just saw you with someone” *ignores* like bro Khai are you fucking dumb? Just be like I accidentally ran into her bike, so I gave her a ride
Bruh aslkdfj okay I was like 50/50 on whether Bone would get sad ending because his crush is his prof + she’s getting married but omg they’re really going all in on Bone finding the fiance’s photo with another woman + XXX calling the fiance during their meeting + Paan just having watery eyes T.T I hate that Paan, who’s so intelligent and hard working from what we’ve seen thus far is having her soul sucked out because of this man.
Girl no way they’re gonna have Bone and Paan actually kiss right now right?
Sigh, episode 11 up next. We already have the seeds of Third’s distrust in Khai, can’t wait to see how it explodes next episode
One thing I wish happened in this episode is more of a conversation about how they’ll go about this relationship. I wanted Khai and Third to talk about how this is going to be different than Khai’s previous relationships where he just chased a high and broke up once it wore off or whatever, how Third still doesn’t fully trust Khai, what exactly are they even exactly because they never explicitly say whether they’re just trying out dating or are in a relationship.
Episode 11 (June 4)
Ahh, nervous nervous
11-1
The only reason the kiss doesn’t happen is because Paan gets a call? Bone you asshole!
lmfao this episode’s called He’s Just Not That Into You ?
Oh yeah! There’s another scene (beside the one where Third sees Khai kissing someone and thus kisses someone else) that’s iconic and I’m waiting to see: the train station scene. How are there so many angsty scenes in like 2 episodes rip
Naurrr they all promised to go to the beach
Woah Third’s “I came with my friends to wait for my faen” >.< I guess the ep title applies to him too.
lmfao me watching Third climb the stairs and bring the bottle to his lips exactly as I’ve seen in the multiple cliips “Aw shit, here we go again”
11-2
rip Third just yelling at that other dude like hey !! kiss me !! right now !!
“I don’t want to love you anymore. It hurts.” man... fuck
T.T Third yelling and crying and berating himself for trusting Khai T.T followed by the quiet tears when Two brings him home. Similarly the yelling and throwing when Khai first enters but then the quietness and hurt afterward. It’s done so well.
11-3
Dang, so are we gonna get a sad ending for Bone? Makes sense considering Paan is his prof + engaged. Also, I wonder if the ‘forgive Paan’s cheating fiancé’ storyline is to soften us to forgiving Khai for cheating (which... did he actually? He really didn’t seem to have any interest in Ching Ching)
11-4
MOTHERFUCKER THIS TRAIN SCENE T.T dead screaming crying pulling my hair out my gosh
The promise of everybody going (lead by Khai because he’s the one who flakes) but nobody informing Khai that none of them are planning on going... the waiting, waiting, waiting which Khai hardly had to do (even from realizing he likes Third -> dating Third timeline was very short), so it’s like he gets to experience a mini version of Third’s waiting and despite Khai being the one who flakes and gives up easily, he waited... Khai’s insistance on acting natural when Third finally appears... Khai’s “it’s fine, you can tell me if you don’t want me there, I may have flattered myself a bit”... Third just hugging Khai... Khai crying, a great contrast to Third who’s also crying but he cried nearly every episode...
But literally why did Two and Bone at least not tell Khai that they’re not going ?!?!
Along with episode 9, this is my favourite episode. It’s dramatic as most episode 11s are and it’s slightly contrived but the conflicts still weren’t completely out of the left blue (esp the Third being suspicious of Khai getting with another girl) and each part (not including 3 b/c that part was hardly KhaiThird) was just Emotional Damage.
Episode 12 (June 4)
Ahh, nervous nervous
12-1
“When did I get mad at you?” lmfao Third?
Ooh, flirty
I wish they’d have a proper conversation about Khai and the girls he’s dated in the past. He’s gotten around and that means his exes will often make an appearance + him apparently being every single girl’s type means they’ll hit on him, so they should talk about how to maneuver that.
12-2
Khai’s tendency to “I’m going” “I’m really, really going” “For real, I’m going” hoping that Third’s gonna stop him is cute. I do wonder why Third’s giving him kind of a cold shoulder though?
Oh rip he’s afraid they’ll breakup and he’ll up with nothing, not even Khai’s friendship
Ohhh, the line of girls slapping Khai is from here. He’s repentant but then I wonder is he too repentant? I would not have let Faisah slap me after what she did but hmm did Khai ghost her first? Maybe that’s why
I’m gonna kick something, how can there be angst in freaking ep 12?
12-3
“I’m just not sure what you’re doing is love” like... it’s kinda frustrating that Third keeps rejecting Khai despite obviously liking him but I guess Third’s just seen him be the way he has been for too long and it’s all such flashy confessions and repentance
Girl I do not wanna watch a public confession T.T Also, the audience can’t even read what those posters say lol
“I watched as many romantic films as I could to find out what love is. Instead of finding the answer, I found you in each of them.” Arrow to the heart!!!
I know Khai’s saying he learned love isn’t roses and luxurious locations but he’s still confessing again as a huge, grand gesture. Khai’s words are sweet, as always, it’s just that I think these types of things are too grand and embarrassing. Third did it in front of Khai and only Khai, not by holding up a play lol
Like realizing how Third confessed and doing it back to him, keeping the necklace, keeping the freaking headpiece from freshman year, etc are cute and romantic but why in front of everyone T.T
not the Third licking popsickly innuendo lmfao
Why is Two so resistant to Un kissing him. I did not give a fuck about these two this entire show rip
Thought we on a journey to Bone maturing, so why is his introduction to his new love interest kinda sleazy lol
12-4
“Even if the sign shrinks, I don’t~”
I was gonna be like no way, why does Third also seem soooo averse to kissing Khai but then in the end he’s like :) even as he’s whining/moving away, so I guess it’s just... a ~thing~ they do lmfao dubcon-play my love
No like Third literally making a disagreeable noise and then immediate puckering up his lips is hilarious.
Cute ass ending.
lmfao not the post-credit scene because they needed to plug an ad. They had a whole lot of sponsors for this show, glad they at least put the money to good use.
Quite enjoyed it. I think the fact that I knew so many things (like the burrito scene, the crying shower scenes, the girls slapping scene, etc from tiktok) and knew that Khai was a douchebag but would get redeemed made it much easier for me to like. Also, I just like OffGun and that bias also played a part for sure.
Negatives first:
I wish we got to see more of Khai realizing he likes Third (tf was that random confession of liking Third to that random guy in the beach scene). Also, just... some more communication and emotional moments between KhaiThird that isn’t freaking devastating; like perhaps serious, contemplative, vulnerable because they seemed to be either chill and laughing or just absolute devastation.
Also wish episode 12 didn’t have remnants of angst because Third wasn’t accepting Khai’s boyfriend proposal. Either should’ve removed that or should’ve made the final confession not been public, just have had the same confession and actions from Khai but more intimate.
Didn’t care about Two’s plot with Un or Lynn at allll. Was kind of interested in the Bone/Paan thing and I didn’t dislike how it went but it did get a bit boring.
Onto what I liked:
I wasn’t sure how well the characters would be developed and how their change throughout the story would be written but I was pleasantly surprised. I think minus a few hiccups here and there, the characters progressed in a way I enjoyed. It wasn’t too fast or two slow and they worked at it. They were frustrating when they weren’t meant to be and pitiful when the writing called for it.
I liked the movie references even if I didn’t understand any of it lol. I liked how they sprinkled the references throughout and also explained them when needed.
Third and Khai’s acting was good. Gun was skillful in playing Third, tugs at your heartstrings and cries at the drop of a hat. Off was so charming as Khai, I definitely would’ve liked Khai less if he wasn’t played so charmingly.
I liked the story and characters!
Rating: 6.5/10
Theory of Love: Special Episode (June 7)
they’re each other’s sweethearts and it’s KhaiThird and also ThirdKhai, so true
Wait, Khai’s been sleeping on the floor for like 1-2 years? Bruh what? When did they move in together and why didn’t they buy 2 beds or decide to share a bed??
At least they’re having some conversation about how they feel about the past and future
I thought Bone got a gf? What’s all this about him chatting with girls and getting over Paan?
Bruh, are we gonna have another Ching Ching type drama?
...I guess the “Third is so scary when he’s angry” and bossing Khai around when he’s being affection is humourous? I don’t really like it. Edit: Maybe this is actually mostly just in Khai’s head because Third seems a little physically distant but not scary or punishing from this episode.
Aghhh it’s literally just a photo. Idk why Khai didn’t say the truth in the first place that a girl fell on him and also Two and Bone were there to see it happen. Now, they’re worried about just a picture being passed around where he and the girl are just sitting beside each other like what?
“I’m the one to blame for putting myself in this situation” Khai said this about Ching Ching too and it’s just so not true. He’s not to blame that Ching Ching kissed him without asking and in this case he’s not to blame for... what? having a girl sit beside him?
The way Khai seems to lack self-confidence, as well as confidence in their relationship is upsetting. He shouldn’t have to tiptoe around in his own relationship. Bone said Third would understand and I hope he would and then Khai can work to move forward and gain confidence and trust in himself.
Did that guy Khai was telling to delete all the photos call him Hia?
Okayyy Third’s reassuring Khai.
(33mins) Okay the conversation was fine, Third was fine as expected, I’m glad Third explicitly reassured Khai + said he also is trying to meet Khai in the middle.
fuck they’re sooooo cute now that the random ass Khai agonizing thing is over. Them spending time together, teasing e/o and looking out for e/o, them planning on spending their lives together, the proposal T.T
The contrast between Khai clinginess level 100 vs Third being at like lvl 10 is jarring. Didn’t enjoy how... unsure of himself and his relationship Khai seemed in certain parts, I want him to be confident in his place! Enjoyed seeing the parts where Third reassures Khai and where they spend time together.

warnings: swearing, kissing, guiltyjames™, hints to family violence/abuse, mentions of hospitals. gif not mine
summary: james can’t help but feel bad, because she was finally happy - he could see how miserable she was when she was with him.
note: did i specifically look up a 1975 calander to know which was the first friday in june 😭 because it may or may not be important to future songs and therefore chapters- also i’m gonna be honest this correlates to the song minimally, but oh well it’s a pretty title. also sorry for the delay! things have been going on and i had to go to the hospital it was a whole thing, but i’m ok and i’m back and hopefully the next update won’t take this long :)
it was nearing the summer break, and there was a buzz in the air. sirius was a little worried, he was going home. normally he’d stay at school or go with james, but he felt like it was the right thing to do. y/n was also worried, she hated to think about what they might do to him. but he assured her trust if anything went wrong he’d go straight to her, and if he could, he’d owl her everyday. y/n wasn’t sure what she was going to do, but moony had offered her to go with him so she figured that’s probably what’s she would do. she knew she couldn’t be alone, she’d be too anxiety riddled worrying about padfoot. but the more he reassured her, the more she started to believe him.
james was still living in his ‘lily bliss’ but it started to become a lot more normal. things were feeling normal. james was happy, and y/n was happy for him. after her breakdown in the corridors they both felt a film of closure capture them. neither of them forgot what happened, both felt bad about it, but there was finally no malice. the entire group was happy.
-
the start of june always involved a party in the gryffindor common room. no one knew why, but everyone wanted to go. well, all except sirius and y/n, but james was going to see to it that that would change.
“c’mon, guys! it’s the best party all school year, everyone who knows what’s good for them goes!” he added a pathetic little foot stamp to emphasise his point, it was honesty laughable how much james looked like a tantrum throwing seven year old. sirius shook his head with a small chuckle “exactly, everyone will be going so it will be complete peace outside, for at least an hour, until drunk idiots start piling out.” y/n nodded her head in agreement “so we can hang out by the whomping willow for a little while, and then go back to my dorm, and bonus point, the common room will be empty.”
“you guys are so boring” he let the last word sit on his tongue for longer than necessary, at this point his best bet was to annoy them into going. “if you really want we can go for half an hour before we go back to my dorm?” he contemplated it for a while and then nodded his head. “you guys owe me!” he said as he walked away, pointing at them to make a statement. sirius shook his head “i actually think you owe us!” but his words held no impact when they were met with james laughing hysterically and y/n giggling.
“and what do you think you’re laughing at?” he asked with a raise of his brow, to which she shook her head, physically not being able to let the words escape through her laughter. they were currently in the gryffindor common room, it was late and there weren’t many people about, so it was like music to his ears that all he could hear was her soft laughs slowly grow into obnoxious cackles. and yet still, it was perfect to him. to add fuel to the fire, he started to attack her with tickles, knowing exactly where she was most ticklish. she continued to laugh even more and managed to say something along the lines of “you are an evil man”. by the time they had both calmed down, she had somehow gotten on top of him, there legs absentmindedly curled around each others, trying to lock themselves in the moment. y/n blushed a little, but it was clear to her that sirius didn’t mind, as he guided her head to be laying on his chest before placing a kiss on her head. they’d stayed like that for a while, not even realising how tired they were, until somewhere between there small chats and quiet laughs they both fell asleep.
-
when it was time to go to the party, y/n was silently freaking out. she didn’t quite know why, but she was fussing about how she looked. like that would matter, it’s just sirius… right?
of course, she was wrong, but she wasn’t going to tell herself that. as she continued to get ready, finishing up her eyeliner, sirius knocked on the door, “come in” she yelled, before grabbing her necklace and struggling to put it on. “need any help, love?” she nodded exasperated, passing him the necklace. “the bloody clasp is stuck, i swear.”
moving her hair out the way, he effortlessly put the necklace on her. “how did you do that?” she asked, he chuckled slightly before kissing her shoulder, then her head, then grabbing her hand to go outside “because, y/n, i’m a genius.”
-
after their ‘friend date’ they went to the common room, absentmindedly linking arms whilst sirius played with y/n’s fingers. they barely even got into the room before they heard james drunkenly yell “just in time! guys we’re playing spin the bottle!” they both looked uneasy but joined the circle none the less, the only spaced being opposite each other. after a few rounds, it was y/n’s turn, so she took the bottle and gave it a halfhearted spin, hoping that it didn’t land on james. not because james was with lily, the were both playing and it’s not like they were being forced to snog anyone, but because, for some odd reason, she didn’t want sirius to see. and yet, as the bottle slowed down, she was terrified. just as she thought it was going to land on james, it landed on the person next to him. and looking up she realised it was sirius, suddenly she felt nervous. why was she feeling nervous? it’s just sirius, her best friend sirius, sirius who had helped her pick up the pieces, sirius who she sang late night karaoke with, sirius who attempted to make her favourite cake on her birthday (even if he failed massively) sirius who taught her how to do eyeliner, sirius who was just sirius.
after looking in his eyes as he nodded as a confirmation of him being ok with it, she barely even hesitated. she shuffled closer to him then kissed him. it lasted all of about five seconds, but it was much to long for a spin the bottle kiss. neither of them were complaining though, it was slow, it was peaceful, and it was nice. if she wasn’t so focused on sirius, the way his lips felt on hers, the way everything around her seemed to stop, maybe she would have reveled in kissing her ex’s best friend. maybe she’d finally get her revenge.
james couldn’t help but look away, there was something about his ex and his best friend kissing that just didn’t sit right with him. he was over her, heck he was barely even in love with her in the first place, he couldn’t understand why it bothered him so much. he pushed the feelings down, he wasn’t going to ruin their happiness. not again. their relationship had been flawed, granted, more on his side than hers, but both of them made mistakes. both of them were coasting on the other to put in the hard work, both of them were absentmindedly ghosting the other. so why did it hurt that she was kissing someone else?
all whilst this was going through his head, sirius and y/n were over the moon. friday 6th june 1975. a day that was the beginning of everything, even if they didn’t know it yet.
-
the weeks following the kiss weren’t awkward, they acknowledged the fact that it happened, but they didn’t talk about it. but even a blind man could see the changes there relationship went through, subtle and unspoken things. they would hold hands, when sitting next to eachother they’d be cuddled up, cheek, hair and forehead kisses became a regular thing, and they’re ere both happy. neither felt the need to talk about it, because whatever they were, whatever they felt, it was mutual. and the silent rule was that the first move would be made by y/n, she still needed time, not because she wasn’t over james, but because she was scared. she trusted sirius completely, but it was easy with him, she didn’t want to mess it up by putting a label on it.
the train ride home, a day sirius and y/n were dreading. what if he got hurt? as james watched them say goodbye, he couldn’t help but stare longer than he should have. part of what was running through his head was ‘why didn’t he just listen to moony?’ he had warned him sirius liked her, and if he had made his move that night y/n wouldn’t have went through so much pain. but then the other part of him was screaming ‘that could have still been yours if you didn’t fuck it up’. he was just about to turn away, to look back at lily, who was staying at his for the summer, so they could find his parents when he saw them kiss.
plucking up all the courage she had, y/n kissed him, and he instantly kissed back. it was the first kiss since the game of spin the bottle, and god, did he miss the way her lips felt on his. before things got too heated in front of a bunch of random families, they pulled away smiling. “i really like you, siri” he smiled at her, pecking her lips once more “i really like you too, y/n/n” before they could kiss again, she was being ushered by remus and his family, since she was staying with them for the summer. before they were out of each other’s like of sight, he yelled “girlfriend?” she nodded and replied “boyfriend.” just as she was about to turn fully away, she faced him and spoke loud enough for him to hear “stay safe, owl me as much as you can, but if it will get you in trouble don’t even think about it”
-
spending the summer with remus was so far so good, but she always has a worry in the back of her mind. was sirius ok? he hadn’t sent her a letter yet, so either he’s really not good, or he can’t do it without being caught. but every time she was alone her mind would wander to the ‘what ifs’. what if he was in danger? what if he gets seriously hurt? what if she could have stopped it? what if she could have just convinced him not to go?
on one of the many occasions she caught herself doing this, a knock on the door shook her out of it. currently the lupin’s were at the shops, so she forced herself to get up and open the door. “james?! what ar-“ he quickly cut her off “it’s sirius, he showed up at my house really hurt, he’s currently at st. mungos getting fixed up, he wants to see you” he rushed out as quickly as he could. y/n nodded quickly, and turned back to the kitchen “what are you doing?” she shook him off, trying to find a piece of paper, once she did she looked up at him quickly. “letting the lupin’s know where i’ve gone. don’t need them stressing aswell”
once they arrived she couldn’t stop the tears that were forcing their way out of her eyes, she hated seeing him laying there so helplessly. she didn’t realise he was awake until she grabbed his hand, he looked up at her with a slight smile. “how y’feelin’? she spoke but it came out more of a whisper. “better now that your here.” she giggled and let her thumb gently rub circles against the back of his hand “you’re so cheesy” he smiled at her. she leant down and kissed his forehead. “i’m glad your ok, all things considered.”
as they continued to converse james couldn’t look away, now matter how much he wanted to. he couldn’t stop the feeling of guilt creeping up his spine. he caused her months of pain and for what? so he could get the girl that never even willingly looked in his direction before.
