The show is about the love-hate relationship between the main characters, Day (Lee Long Shi) and Itt (Frank Thanatsaran).

Itt is a spoiled character who likes it when Day pampers him. It may seem that Day is annoyed with the overindulgence, but in reality he wants Itt to be completely dependent on him so that in the future he won’t ever think about leaving Day in the future. This displays Day’s obsessive behavior towards Itt, however everything comes to a halt when Day loses his memory up to 3 years back in a road accident and only remembers the time before he even met Itt. Itt does his best to take care of Day after his accident, tolerates Day’s rude behavior, and doesn’t say a word no matter how hurtful Day’s words are. Even though Day lost his memory and doesn’t remember Itt as his lover, he still feels jealous whenever someone else approaches Itt. If anyone else tries to approach or talk to Itt, his over protectiveness and jealous nature comes out. This makes Night (Rossi Nonthakorn), Day’s younger brother, believe that maybe Day will remember something if he feels jealous over Itt. We also have guest appearances from Kamol and Kim (Unforgotten Night), though they used a different set of actors.

The storyline also includes Itt’s high school friend, Mac (Non Ratchanon), who was seemingly in love or obsessed with Itt. To punish him, Day lets his sidekick Nan (Hearth Chindanai) force him into submission. It felt a bit wrong to see him being bossed around by Nan. I know Day feels jealous of Mac and Mac might have done some questionable things, but asking Nan to control Mac’s life was not the right move. Sorry, but I gotta say this. I like the “Enemy with the Benefit to Lover tropes” a lot, but I felt bad that Mac was being punished because he was in love with a person. It was irritating seeing Day treat Itt rudely whilst Itt was being helpful and trying his best, even though Itt was a bratty guy and totally dependent on Day (His fault only) in the past. He does try his best to do everything and even endure Day’s disgustingly ungrateful remarks. Some cute scenes between our main couple, Day and Itt, were endearing. It did feel good when Day actually accepted his mistake and apologized to Itt.

The thing that irked me the most was how the couple was insecure about each other, how easy it was to make them jealous, and how trust between partners was almost invisible in the show. It brought the toxic feeling that the two people who “love” each other couldn’t trust each other. Most of their arguments happen because Itt is obsessed with eating cake and even though it sounds cute, it wasn’t. It was immature, illogical, and may even feel irritating at times. Their relationship felt a lot more toxic and irritating than tolerant or appreciative. From their first meeting to them falling in love, the way their relationship developed was toxic. Better character development could have made the difference, but alas, the characters lack understanding and absolute trust between them. The scriptwriters did try to make up for this flaw, but it doesn’t happen in this show until very late. In the last few episodes we get to see some character development in both Day and Itt, that actually is nice to see.

Supporting characters were not very helpful to this show; they could have come out as better, but unfortunately, that wasn’t the case. Kokliang Parinya as Nik (Itt’s friend) was cute, and I enjoyed watching his antics onscreen. The show could also have worked better on the intimacy of the main couple because in comparision to them, I liked the harmony between side couples more and enjoyed them better.

Love Syndrome III was mediocre, to say the least, because even if the storyline isn’t phenomenal, good acting and amazing chemistry between actors can still save the show. But I felt that the acting wasn’t as good as it could have been, in a lot of places it was cringy and felt forced. The actors tried their best, but it just didn’t hit the spot like it should. I find some scenes very confusing and not well connected. It might make the viewer feel disconnected from the show; since the storyline is average, the acting is not up to par, only good direction would have saved it but I’m sad to say that was the case. The fight scenes were surprisingly well choreographed, it may leave you impressed except the end fight between Day and P in the climax, it totally looked fake. Overall, the show lacks harmony, good acting, and direction. I would ask our readers to read the tags and overview of the show before getting into it, as some people may find it uncomfortable to watch and some may not. So, without any judgement, only watch it after reading the trigger warning.

Rating- 1.5 out of 5
