Yes, I just only dislike them in the first 4 seasons... actually "dislike" is a strong word. I just didn't care for them and I preferred the chemistry Lucas had with Brooke. Although in season 1 I only shipped J/P and the potential of B/N.. I didn't ship any pairing from the B/L/P triangle. I think I probably would've enjoyed L/P if the writers actually did the Nathan/Peyton/Lucas triangle since Nathan was so unlikable and I felt L/P was written great there... when Brooke got involved, everything to messy, and Lucas slowly became to an unrecognizable character. Season 2, was my J/P season and I finally loved B/L for the first time even though I was okay with it staying friendzoned since to me season 2 showed how much better they were written when they were friends. Season 3, first time I enjoyed B/L romantically. Season 4 break up had me as clueless as Lucas was but it was clearly because of the BTS stuff and how Chad and Sophia couldn't really work together anymore... but just the whole Chad/Sophia thing made me wish that actors never date ever!
Because I felt Chad/Sophia romance controlled the romantic direction season 2-4...
I wish the writers kept real life out of reel life.
I'll always with Bryton turned series regular for I could've gotten more J/P.
Season 4... again, I didn't care for B/L or L/P... although I think because I preferred the chemistry between B/L, I was more for them because I felt Lucas did love and want to reunite with Brooke so I would've been okay with it being angst for them to find their way back to each other. When L/P got together it didn't make much sense to me (I know to you it did) but based on what I watched season 3 and early season 4, it didn't fit right for me... especially Brooke encouraging it... it was like eh.... but I wanted my B/N at this time even if I knew by now it'd never happen. lol
Season 5! I loved B/L still because of their chemistry and their friendship scenes! I loved the way they were written this season. I finally started enjoying L/P was 5x06 because of the angst being good! "Everytime I see this stupid book I buy, ever stupid damn time. You said I was great, you said I could be great! You said we were destined to be together. You said it to the world, you said it to me and I wish you never had because you never meant any of it."
That was the scene when the acting and the dialogue was like WOW!. In general I felt that B/L were written better that scene but for the first time I wasn't truly that against L/P as I previously was.
Season 6... I think I was finally at the stage where I was okay with them because they were together, they had fun and no triangles! They just finally got to be together as a real couple with no more drama.
For me as a viewer I think I enjoyed anytime I saw Peyton truly happy in a relationship which is why I didn't have an issue with Lucas/Peyton in Season 6. Julian/Peyton season 6, and of course my main one Jake/Peyton. So Peyton/Happiness I preferred.

Fair enough, I feel we already got too much of JP romantically lol. Certainly would have been interesting to see how LP would have been written differently if the show stuck with NPL.
I don't think BL broke up because of Chad/Sophia though, that break up had coming for a while since they got back together. Not to mention that would have been incredibly out of character Mark to go out of his way to make things easier for either party.
