Love by Chance

Love by Chance begins when Pete Pichaya, a wealthy and shy university student played by Suppapong Udomkaewkanjana, known as Saint, meets Ae Intouch, an engineering student played by Tanapon Sukumpantanasan, known as Perth. Ae becomes Pete’s protector and friend as Pete finds his way through campus life, and the friendship gradually turns into something more.

The series is built around that protection. Pete is new to the practical side of university, and Ae is the person who shows him around it, which gives the story a steady structure of small favours and growing closeness. The supporting cast around them includes Phiravich Attachitsataporn, known as Mean, as Tin Medthanan, Rathavit Kijworalak, known as Plan, as Can Kirakorn, Napat na Ranong as Techno and Siwat Jumlongkul as Kengkla.

Love by Chance was produced by Studio Wabi Sabi and directed by Siwaj Sawatmaneekul. It ran for fourteen episodes on GMM 25 and LINE TV, from 3 August 2018 to 9 November 2018, with each episode about fifty minutes. It is adapted from the novel My Accidental Love Is You by MAME12938, first published on Dek-D.com.

The ending of the first season did not close the story. A second season, A Chance to Love, premiered on 2 September 2020 on WeTV and ran for thirteen episodes, centred on Tin and Can.

The setting is a university where wealth and background matter less than who is willing to stand beside you, and that is the quiet idea running under the plot. Pete begins as someone who needs guiding and Ae begins as someone who guides, and the series spends its fourteen episodes letting that arrangement become a partnership between two equals.
