2 Moons 2 (2019)

Mourning Once Again...

I wasn't at all happy to hear about there being a new cast after seeing 2moons and falling in love with Wayo (Bas to be more specific), but I won't lie, this cast swept me off my feet as well, maybe even more than the first. All actors did an amazing job and the story was further built upon (we got to see Forth and Beam, how exciting is that??!), but, the team behind the 2moons franchise failed these dudes ONCE AGAIN.
I loved Earth as Wayo. He did an excellent job at acting impeccable, cute, and just a ball of sugar. I loved the decisions that he and Ben did with their characters and I loved watching them on screen together. Although I won't lie, I loved Ming and Kit so much in this series. I was so mesmerized by Ming the entire time. He had these eyebrows that captured my attention so quickly and I love Joong so much. Nine and him had the best chemistry out of all the couples. Forth and Beam were perfect as well. We finally get to see their story, and man was it SPICY. Dome is adorable, and Pavel is downright gorgeous, they played a flawless couple.
Even though the story was the exact same, these actors actually added so much to the plots and the characters. I loved the different dynamics of each couple; Wayo and Pha were loveable and sentimental, Ming and Kit were comedic and sunny, and Forth and Beam were sexy and sensuous. Each had a narrative that could appeal to so many different types of people which is what made this story so perfect.
Once again, the plot was still nothing special, except we got to see more and ForthBeam actually had a story. Other than that, it was still a light and fluffy series and a nice watch just to get in a joyful mood.
Outside of the show, the team and whoever is behind the 2moons franchise has hurt these boys just like they had the first cast. If you didn't know, they are once again recasting each main character for 2moons3. At this point, a 2moons3 is pointless and seems so far-fetch that they should just cancel it. Mello Thailand is a problematic company that has done so much wrong to the boys, especially Earth, that I doubt anyone would be dumb enough to audion for the third season. If anything, I try to stay away from any Mello Thailand series since they don't know how to treat their employees. I will once again be mourning the death of this amazing cast and praying for the new ones once they take over.

Tell a history of a boy that has always been in love with his school crush (Phanna and Wayo), The story of a boy that really want to get someone who's into conquist even getting to be the Moon to demonstrate what he's willing to do (Ming and Pit) <--- by the way Joong is so f**kng cute and hansome & the story of a accidentally in love, also kinda unexpected and also bit difficult to accept the situation that its believes made it much more difficult (Forth and Beam).
At very last, there's a mister (P...K) that really earn the first place and the price of the most mFckr 'cause it really was the cause to let the end uncertable and not concluding the story establishing a loose end. I want to believe (now 01/01/200); we're gonna get the consequent part that is expected, at the ending of the last episode, with simple ¨TO BE CONTINUED...¨ | Definitely a must to see.

No offense, but the first season was horrible. Cringy, boring, slow. I think I watched until ep 6 and still couldn't get into it and didn't remember much of it either when I started watching the second season. I was never interested in the second season, because I thought it's a sequel and not a remake. Whatever. I finally discovered it's a new cast and then I watched it, because I had nothing better to do and boy am I glad I did! Let me tell you I'm still not 100% sold on the storyline, especially the moon thing. I couldn't get into the main pairing AT ALL, though that's just me. I don't like such characters and relationship developments. I only watched it for Ming&Kit to begin with, but I stayed for Forth&Beam. Those two couples are the reason why I give this story a solid 9. Both were enjoyable to watch, had some very beautiful, well produced and well acted scenes, great chemistry and an interesting storyline. I honestly think that the Forth&Beam couple was the first BL couple I ever came across in an Asian BL series that felt "real". As a viewer you can imagine something like this happens in real life. There was no unnecessary drama and even though their love started rather fast (with a one-night-stand) it developed at a very enjoyable and normal speed. Their acting was very natural and the characters seemed very mature.
So to sum it up: well produced series, charming and talented actors, interesting couple dynamics. One thing I'm not a fan of (and I mentioned this in another review): everyone seems to be bisexual (or gay) and it's no big deal. How likely is it that in a group of friends everyone is somehow gay or at least interested (romantically/sexually) in their friends? But well, maybe I'm the only one who is bothered by this. The series was still very great.

I only saw it because of "Call it what you want".

Actually, this is not a real review, but rather an opinion.

The series itself has a few highlights, but also moves very slowlyforward and I mean really slowly!
The storyline is sometimes very generic and has nothing really new to offer (okay the template is from 2017, which explains a lot).
But Earth is definitely the star of the show, he is hell of an actor and I am curious about his future projects.

SPOILER:
But what really annoys me about this series is the ending. A fat cliffhanger and then What?!
The studio falls out with the cast and the screendirector?! Seriously?! This is one of the biggest disappointments in a series for me....so be warned if you watch this series it has no real ending and probably never will get one.

An unfortunate letdown that felt amateur and forced from start to finish

NO-SPOILER REVIEW

Unfortunately, this series is a complete letdown that suffers from many story, production, and casting-related issues.

Pros
- A few cast members were attractive and had some cute moments together.

Cons
- The overall plot wasn't very compelling, with a lot of plot points that just didn't make sense. So many moments of tension were just artificially manufactured so they never felt realistic or believable and the stakes never felt high for anything going on.
- The production quality was poor and the pacing was off. Lots of long and overly drawn-out scenes that were simply boring and hard to get through.
- The overall acting level of most of the actors was unfortunately below average, making some scenes hard to sit through. Some of the couples also lacked any real chemistry or depth and didn't feel believable at all.

Overall
- This series unfortunately doesn't have enough redeeming qualities to make it worth watching.

2 Moons (2017) is my 2nd favorite Thai BL series(My No.1 is Love By Chance). I still remember how it feels watching and waiting for each episode. That series nearly killed me! I really love the actors. They are not the best actors in the world, but I fell in love with them. Specially Bas, and TaeTee. When 2 Moons 2 was announced, I am very excited. But when, they said that they will change the cast, I am very diappointed. And i felt really sad when Isaw bas crying in an interview about this, cause he really like his role "Wayo". But we need to move on, so after that, Im kinda excited to see the new Moons that Motive Village has to offer. Lots of actors auditioned. I actually wanted Mew(from What the Duck the series) to play the role of Phana. I think each of us has a "bet" on each character, but after the audition, its kinda funny that NONE of the aspiring moons that we like got the role. And the fans reaction was really BAD! I admit it, I didnt like them at first. I love the old cast, specially SBFive. But Im not a hater.Im not a basher. I didnt bash them. Im not included in those people who said "I will not watch this series". Why? I feel sorry for them. Specially Benjamin. He received a lot of negative comments after he got the role of Phana(and it turned out that he didnt really auditioned for that role, he auditioned for Wayo). Lots of people are comparing his looks with Godt. I admit it, when it comes to visuals, Godt has that perfect aura to play the role of Phana. Even if he's not good in acting, his looks can carry it. Anyways, on the first few days after the announcement of the new 6 Moons, the support is few.As in really few.There are more haters than the supporters. Its really unfair for them. They did nothign wrong in the first place.They just want to work, and explore, but haters are stopping them to do it.Im one of the first few people who followed them in IG.I know its not that much, but still, it makes a difference. I like it that they didnt really deal with hates and bashers. They just prepared for the series and didnt mind the haters out there. When they released the first promo pictures of 2Moons2, im very excited.They look really good, specially Benj. Then the series came, and I LOVE IT!
The first 3-4 episodes feels a bit rushed, but I understand that because they need to fir everything in just 12 episodes. But starting episode 5, everything turns out reall great. the Acting is way way better compare to the previous one. I really like the cinematography of this one, and to be honest, I really cannot imagine the previous actors(specially Godt) doing the things that they did in this series. Its not perfect, but definitely better compare to the first 2 Moons. I love the ending, though there's a cliffhanger, Im still satisfied.

Each and every couple story beautifully executed .Not much intimated scene that is good ,it is pure love story .Show how they struggle in their school life,high school life,with their uncontrolled emotions ,conspiracy,jealousy, love life,in proving themselves that they are not wrong .People can't controlled their embarrassment ,yes felt bad when get embarrassed but it doesn't mean to harm someone dignity . Understanding each other emotions,make sure about their relationship they asked each other many questions,take promises because no one want to hurt in such a relationship . Such things had been shown in the drama. Everyone acting is good .One background music also run many times in between the scenes ,I think that music played with the piano ,cool one ,peaceful one. Waiting for 2nd season.

Negative side:
I already watched both moon series. So far i think 2 moon actors much better acting than 2 moon 2. Episode 1 all actors look awkward and some characters look very dull and cant show character feeling well enough.
There are certain scene where those actor doesnt look natural while speaking as they body movement not sync with their words.
The plot too direct and awkward. Like scene choosing moon candidate, no introduction at all and suddenly all agree wayo become candidate. Also when kit recognise wayo. There is no curious or shock feeling at all, no flashback, no connection scene to meet suddenly, then poof, they knew.
At the beginning, both main actor a bit dull in early episode. Their expression didnt show clearly emotion like annoying, angry, love. Too much COVER MACHO until you ant show emo. Like you just want to get on to next scene.

Positive side:
Everything start smooth after several episode. Plot, scene, actor expression, emotion begin working out.
All actor start showing they get into character.

Conclusion:
I love actor in 2moon2 series as they were gorgeous and handsome. But for plot twist, scene connection and prelude 2moon much better.

I took a while to watch this as I was a fan of the original cast and just couldnt see myself enjoying it with a new set of actors and actresses, however I'm glad I watched it, it is a must see for anyone who loves BL and is a complete Fujoshi like me. Btw I must say the actor that plays FORTH mmmmhhhh good lord have mercy on my little fujoshi heart but that boy is SMOKING HOTT AND LORD CAN HE KISS. I found myself looking forward to the side characters more and more, as we all know the main couple are totally mamby pamby well wayo is anyway. Lol. But hey ain't nothing wrong with being wholesome and guard his chastity like its fort Knox hahaha.
