2moons, AKA the Cursed Series

No doubt that this show has had some serious problems (on and off-screen), but I can't help but love how light this series was. Right off the bat, I was mesmerized by how stunningly adorable Wayo was. He was cute and smol, and so precious, and I loved him so much. This series is rated so highly just because I enjoyed Wayo and Pha way more than I probably should've. Yes, they were pretty bland and their story wasn't anything too interesting, but for some reason, I loved them so much.
I want justice for MingKit. Kim and Copter hands down had the best chemistry in the series. I wish so badly we would've been able to see more of them, but thank god Gen Y happened (I would say Hotel Stars, but um NO).
I guess the show said fuck Forth and Beam cause we didn't see them at all. They were advertised throughout the show, but then never talked, or flirted, or even acknowledged the existence of each other. If they did speak, then it was so forgettable that I (whelp) forgot.
The acting was kind of wonky on this show. As much as I loved Bas, I can't help but kind of hate the unemotional blank stares he gave throughout the series. Also, Pha was pretty bland and the actor made him boring and lifeless. I still don't appreciate how feminine gay people are treated in BL, and 2moons is no different. At least Wayo was the Angel Gang's friend, even though he acted uncomfortable around them.
I heard some say that God (Pha) was pretty anti-gay on the set. I don't know how much of this is true, and how much of this is false, but how in the hell can you work in the BL industry and be homophobic?? That's like being a teacher and hating children. I hope this rumor isn't as true as I believe it is, but if it is then the companies of these shows need to start holding these actors accountable and so do the fans.
For whatever reason, they re-casted EVERY SINGLE MAIN CHARACTER. As soon as I fell in love with this cast, they're taken away from me with a drop of a hat. It's like being given a piece of cake and told you can't eat it. I was ready to hate the next cast so hard, but turns out I loved them just as equally (maybe even more. Oops).
This series was just a ball of fluff and it's a nice watch for anyone that wants a lighthearted, dainty series. Nothing too special about the plot. Actually, I think the concept of there being a "king and queen" on campus to be a bit high schoolish, but it doesn't harm anyone, and we get Wayo being a cinnamon roll and MingKit giving the feels. I loved it.
