Hi! I have a quick question and I hope u can help me: I wanted to watch "Love Mechanics" but I found out there's other shows related to it which where released in 2020 (En of Love: Love Mechanics, En of Love: this is Love story, and En of Love: TOSSARA). Do I have to watch these shows to understand "Love Mechanics"? I'm hella confused bc the premise for two of 'em seems the same one??

OK, have a nice day/night! _(:3 」∠ )_ (luv ur blog btw)

Hi hi.

No you do not have to watch the original En of Love trilogy before Love Mechanics.

En of Love: Love Mechanics is part 2 of 3 in a linked sampler box style BL, like Y-Destiny. Those, maybe should be watched in order, but even there you don't have to.

En of Love: TOSSARA

En of Love: Love Mechanics

En of Love: this is Love story

They are all on YouTube and maybe Viki or GaGa or both these days.

Like ToruFirst from Y-Destiny, YinWar came out of EoL: Love Mechanics as the highest heat couple with by far the best chemistry. They were the ones everyone wanted to see more of. They’ve co branded since then doing variety shows and getting sponsor and modeling gigs pretty consistently. They have a polite calm relationship with each other, very much like KimCop (Gen Y).

Love Mechanics the currently airing series is both a retelling and an expansion on the original shorter installment. They are also pushing the heat levels more in this one. These two do messy gay very very well, there is a lot of drama and angst and cheating and stuff.

So far, I think the original is actually better, but YinWar are great either way.

They also appear together in high school sweet pining romance The Best Story (sad ending), and War had a few earl early BL shorts without Yin.

Started watching the original En of Love: Love Mechanics soon after watching the 2022 one

(sort of live-blogging, criticism and spoilers for both shows after the cut)

and it is a bizarre and rather discomforting experience. Same actors, a lot of the same plot points, some of the exact same lines, but the vibes are totally different. The production value is much lower in terms of sets, sound, camera work, and most distractingly, lighting. Also Vee's dangly earring is on the other side which for some reason feels very trippy.

It probably wouldn't be as noticeable if I hadn't just seen the new one. The plot points are all super condensed, it feels like they're whizzing past my head faster than I can track. Yin at 20/21 looks much younger than he does at 22/23, and his acting has improved. War is great, but it feels like he's playing a different character who happens to do some of the same things. Their chemistry is much more asshole4asshole. In the new one they had this sense of attraction and liking each other from the start, even when they were fighting. Here they don't have the chemistry to explain why they keep wanting to each other, so it doesn't make a lot of sense what's happening.

I actually do like asshole Mark a lot, and it would have been interesting to see more of that in the new one. Yin wasn't skilled enough yet to pull off his character's muddled conflicting motivations, although to be fair the plot moves along so rapidly that what Vee wants keeps changing without reason, and I think only a very skilled actor could keep that remotely plausible. He's still very natural and appealing. Glad they got the chance to improve and do it again!

The kiss scene in episode 2 is actually fascinating. At first the have a slow motion BL style kiss where they hold completely still for 30 seconds with their mouths touching. But then they get to do an actual realistic kiss and move their faces and lips. It's not very high heat, but it does look like two people who actually want to be kissing each other. So the actors are willing and capable, but the still had to do that weird static "kiss." I guess that's what BL audiences want or expect? Or the directors think they want? It was very odd. I'd assumed frozen kisses were because the actors weren't willing to do more, but apparently there are other reasons.

Also, War is so beautiful? A lot of the lighting is terrible and makes the other actors look terrible (even Yin at times!), but War looks stunning in every shot.

What is time? I thought like 2 days had passed but then a character said it had been a year? Lol this show feels so unanchored in anything.

Vee makes no sense in this show. Is a romantic? A playboy? A coward? What does he want from Ploy? From Mark? No one seems to know and they haven't told poor Yin. He manages most individual scenes fairly well, but they don't quite add up to a character. His relaxed and charming works much better than his stoic. It would be interesting to compare his acting 2020 and 2022 and see how wooden became nuanced.

The online gossip thing is very annoying but I guess it's an efficient way to make plot happen.

Maybe Vee is supposed to be opaque?

Lol, I got my wish that the scandalous kiss was real. But it doesn't work here because the show's not dealing with any of the heavy issues.

Wait, so do we ever get an explanation for why they kissed? Oh, it's one last kiss. Even in this version it makes no sense why it took so long to explain that. It's barely a sentence.

The way they got back together was confusing and boring and I zoned out/already forgot what happened.

That jealously scene at the pool actually works better in this version. It's so over the top I think Vee is being deliberately playful about it, and not bizarrely being extremely possessive. They're not official boyfriends yet but neither is Vee in the midst of groveling, so it doesn't feel as weirdly invasive like it does in the new one. And (thank god) there's no pervert boxer leering in the background to unexpectedly justify the random body shaming.

Somehow I got the impression from the internet this ended tragically or ambiguously? But it's actually a very fluffy ending.

I can see why everyone was excited about YinWar, they were very appealing together. I wish there was more of just the two of them, I found the group scenes boring. Perhaps something was lost in translation, perhaps the actors were inexperienced/under rehearsed, or perhaps their topics of conversations were just not for me. Also the fans and obsession with Facebook status were weird, but maybe I'm too old.

I do not think I'm the target audience for this. I like my fluff more coherent, my angst angstier, and if there's sex I prefer it sexier.

I wonder if I would have liked it better if I'd seen it before the 2022 version, so it could be its own thing. As is, it felt like an outline or rough draft. And very very low budget, almost like a student project that somehow managed to snag two charismatic and talented leads. But they did impressive work with what I imagine was like 5 sets, less than 2 hours of run time, a gaggle of inexperienced actors and l a very brief shooting window.

I didn't hate the show, but I guess I was more intrigued by looking at what didn't work for me, so this came our pretty negative.

I'm glad that they got the chance to make something longer, more expensive and more complex with this frame.

Review: En of Love: Love Mechanics (2020)

Region: Thailand

Aprox. Length: 02:25:18

Viewing Source: YouTube, Viki

Summary: A love story that starts one night in a club — between an engineering major, Mark, who is absolutely drunk and carrying the painful burden of his one-sided love, and the boy whom he bumps into and mistakes as the object of his affection, Bar Sarawut. This is an imperfect love story between two imperfect human beings.

Overall Opinion: I won’t sugarcoat it, En of Love: Love Mechanics is my least favorite of the 2020 trilogy. Outside of not enjoying the drama of the story, I really just do not like Vee. To the show's credit, I understand that I’m not supposed to. As the summary says, our main characters are imperfect and so is their love, but I just couldn’t get behind the relationship and the drama never felt like it had enough time to really build the anticipation for the inevitable fallout and more than that I took issue with how the ultimate conflict appeared to be smoothed over so quickly. I think, personal bias aside, this part of the En of Love trilogy is watchable as well as the best acted and I can even understand why it’s some people's preferred section because it’s messy. For me it just didn’t hit the mark, I didn’t like the couple as much as the other two parts, and the choices that Vee keeps making had me fuming. I’m interested to see what the 2022 version will be able to accomplish and if the added run time of having Mark and Vee be the focus couple of a full series might improve my opinion of their relationship, but reading the synopsis of what is to come does not fill me with much hope.

Technical Rating: ★★★★★★★☆☆☆

Personal Rating: ★★★★★★☆☆☆☆

(See under the cut for a deeper analysis/opinions of character/plot/technical aspects. Beware of possible spoilers.)

Main Characters:

Vee (right):

As previously stated, Vee is not a character I enjoyed. He is flakey and makes some of the most toxic, terrible choices I’ve ever seen from a Thai BL character, and honestly, at no point was I convinced he deserved Mark or that Mark should want to be with him. Now, is Vee completely to blame? No. I will get into Mark’s choices in his own section, but I do not believe that Vee didn’t understand the possible consequences of his actions! Again, this show was meant to explore a messy relationship, I know I’m not meant to root for Vee as the active cheater, but I just can’t get behind a character like him, especially when, for all intends and purposes, he gets a redemption arch I don’t think he earned. Yin Anan Wong, however, played him exceptionally well and I cannot fault his acting in this role, my opinion on the character aside.

Mark (left):

Some might have the opinion that Mark is a bit of a doormat in the first couple of episodes but honestly, it’s a reaction I think a character like him should be having. Not only is Vee older than him, but he’s also the person who took care of Mark at his weakest. He also, at the very least, attempts not to act on his growing feelings for Vee. Neither character is perfect, Mark knows that Vee has a girlfriend and that he is helping Vee facilitate his cheating, but I have more sympathy for him as a character since he’s still dealing with the fallout of Bar’s rejection of him and the fact is that at least Vee wants him. While I personally don’t mind Mark’s choice of actively making Vee feel like shit by kissing other people after he catches Vee kissing his ex in the later episodes, I do think it feeds into the “no communication ever” trope that BLs exploit to amp up the drama. I also think that Vee’s reasoning and excuse as to why he did shouldn’t have prompted Mark’s forgiveness at all, but that’s his choice I suppose… Regardless, Mark reads as a more interesting character than Vee because he’s someone easier to connect with you and understand, even if you don’t agree, with the not-so-great choices he makes through the show. War Wanarat Ratsameerat is also an actor I really enjoyed in this role.

Rating: ★★★☆☆

Side Characters:

Because of the length of En of Love: Love Mechanics and the focus of the show on Mark and Vee, I really didn’t find much to say about the side characters who rotate as main characters in the other two installments of the 2020 En of Love series. They don’t feel consequential to the story and ultimately serve as plot fodder and devices for Vee and Mark to move around as opposed to characters who actively impact the story on their own accord. Such, this section will remain blank but will still receive a rating.

Rating: ★★☆☆☆

Story/Plot:

I’ll get my complaints out of the way first so I can end this portion on a more positive note. I do not like cheaters in any sense. Outside of what could be considered a drunken accident, Vee actively chooses to cheat on his girlfriend before he finds out she’s cheating on him. In fact, he’s relieved after because he no longer feels like he has to be guilty for being with Mark because of this and I hate that. I also hate that Mark chooses, after getting his own revenge for Vee kissing his ex (for the stupidest fucking inexcusable reason really) to take Vee back. My last biggest issue, from which all the other smaller issues come, is that neither Mark nor Vee have active, productive communication with one another, it’s all reactive to the situation and assumptions in order for the drama to drive forward and I do not think that is good or effective writing. Now, it’s possible the effect of the split and then reconciliation between Mark and Vee could have been handled better with more run time and I understand that, still, I never felt like Mark, outside of just liking Vee, had a good enough reason to take him back.

Moving on to things I did like. Regardless of my personal distaste for elements of Mark and Vee’s relationship, En of Love: Love Mechanics was designed to explore a messy, imperfect, toxic relationship and it did that and I know it did because I don’t think my dislike would be so obvious if that weren’t the case. I had no real problem with how it was written or implemented, I was never rolling my eyes because of dialogue or tropes. I was mad because of how effective the acting was and how the tropes implemented worked within the setting. It still doesn’t make me enjoy the viewing but I can and will commend the drama or choosing to make complicated, not obviously good, or "right" characters, and giving that to us. For that, because I have to look past my bias against the material, it earns a higher rating in the story than I’d want to give it.

If you’re looking to complete the series of En of Love then watching this one can be recommended. Tonealy it’s different than the other two and it’s arguably the best acted amongst the trilogy, but if you’re easily effected by toxic relationship bullshit I would say viewer beware.

Rating: ★★★★☆

Technical/Visual Execution:

I have a general problem with the pacing of the entire trilogy and that comes down to the stories being forced into four episodes each which can be hard to translate effectively. I also think the opening scene of drunk Mark is hard to understand what’s happening, even after finishing En of Love: TOSSARA, and it takes a minute to get your bearings. Outside those factors, it’s a standard Thai BL visually and technically, so it’s not winning any awards for cinematography from me.

Rating: ★★★☆☆
