Ben did a really great job as Pha, but personally, I prefered God's take on Pha. It's just that coldness that God had in 2M before we find out he liked Yo for a long time, wasn't something Ben pulled off really well, which can be a good thing too (don't get me wrong). I think in a fandom where he was replacing someone else is a huge responsibility and its a huge risk, and Ben did an AMAZING job. So Kudos to him. Earth as Yo, again I think I personally prefered Bass as Yo. However, Both Bass and Earth have this innocence about them that makes them very endearing. I think Earth's Yo had a much longer story Arc than Bass did, so we got to know Yo a lot better through him.
Joong as Ming. Ming was my favorite character from 2 Moons, and I LOVED Kim's portrayal of Ming, so for me to be so torn about which Ming I like better is really a compliment to Joong. He was so adorable as Ming - especially once the S1 recap was finished.
Nine as Kit. Kit was my second favorite character from 2 moons, and I dare say I think I might prefer Nine as Kit, even though Copter was beautiful as Kit with his dimples and they way his jealousy was so green in the face of Ming's Ex. Nine brought a vulnerability to Copter. I think Nine is amazing. He is such a talented actor. I hope to see him in a lot of dramas in the future, hopefully as the main lead soon.
Dome as Beam. Beam had a much longer and more "meatier" part this season, so it's really hard to say if Tee could have pulled it off. But Dome was outstanding. I loved him with his "I'm such a manly man"ness followed by his confusion about his feelings towards his friend, and finally when he and Forth get together I was so happy.
Pavel as Forth - I really liked Pavel's take on Forth. He wasn't quite the clean cut Forth that I saw in S1. He seemed more rugged and badboy. I think my favorite part was when he goes "I don't do One Night Stands" or whatever. I loved that. Mad respect, bro. I do think Tae could have pulled off badboy!Forth. But Pavel and his tattoo were very hot. <3 Pavel's Forth is my second favorite character in 2M2 (Ming is still my favorite, Beam and Kit are tied for third place).
I find the Ming/Kit and Forth/Beam storylines to be much more interesting than the Pha/Yo one. Maybe because you see these characters fall in love with each other (even with Ming, even though he's been in love with Kit since the 9th Grade, he has to work really hard to get Kit to accept him and his love). The Pha/Yo storyline is boring in comparison they both loved each other for years and were too scared to say anything (with Yo we understand because he had low self-esteem, but Pha was apparently a confident people puller). (TBH I was almost shipping Suthee/Yo this season :P Green/Earth interations were so cute.... also that ship name is so cute: GreenEarth :P)
Forth/Beam is an interesting dynamic - I quite like how they fell into bed before they fell into love - even though I'm more of a romantic. It's a very realistic take on modern relationships. And it wasn't the non-cony way of TWM. It was very much consensual (even though consent cannot be given when drunk) - and even though Beam didn't want to talk about it after the fact. But you can see that they care about each other, and you can see that Forth really doesn't want Beam to pull away from him and is willing to take responsibility. I am all about Forth/Beam. I love how committed Forth is to Beam. I love it sooooo much. I wish we could have seen Tae/Tee but I will gladly go for Pavel/Dome as Forth/Beam because they were both phenomenal! <3
Ming/Kit - I love their banter, I love their love/hate relationship. They are every OTP I have ever had. I love that Ming is shown to be this playboy type guy who has had 13 relationships, which makes Kit insecure. I love that Ming is so ONE-track mind about Kit that he doesn't even realize he's giving other people hope - because he's just so into Kit that he doesn't even care about anyone else -- and will willingly drop everyone else like a hot potato. I love that Kit falls for Ming fast and hard, even though he plays hard-to-get for a long, long time. I love everything about Ming/Kit. Whether it is KimCop or J9. I want all the Ming/Kit. <3

Diving into this series right after watching 2 Moons helped me understand whats going on in the first few episodes. The description of the series may come as a remake of the original 2 Moons, but this is a continuation of where 2 Moons left off. I think the production gave us a summary of season 1 as the viewers won't be able to connect to the new actors but old characters. If you have not seen 2 Moons, episodes 1-4 may feel rushed and severely cut short. However, after Episode 4, new materials will be used and the storytelling will have proper pacing to it.The actors portrayed their characters well given that most of them are first-time actors. I have to admit that I can't help but compare season 1 and season 2 actors. They both have their own strengths, but season 1's production failed to maximize it. Season 2's pairing for me hits the spot, especially with their supporting characters. Nine and Chen are just perfect couple while Pavel and Dome give the right amount of naughtiness to it (talk about that bedroom scene!)
I am so glad I did not give up on watching after my frustration with episodes 1-4. And now, I can't wait for Season 3!

Ok, here's the tea
This show is cute. I like it more than the first season for a multitude of reasons but I still have somethings I don't like.Story:
It's the same story as the first season but expanded upon a bit. By that I mean they spent more time on the other couples. We've seen it before, one guy secretly likes the other but the guy they like is mean to them at first so they pretend to dislike them. Then it turns out that the mean one also secretly liked the other. You know, that plot. What I like about it is that they are cute once they are finally together. I couldn't really care for the main couple otherwise. Where this show struck gold was with MingKit and ForthBeam. I especially liked Ming and Kit because I love that kind of hate to love on one side and pining on the other side. Very cute.
Acting:
They were all good but none of them really stood out. I think they will be good in any other projects they do.
Music:
I didn't really care for it but I can see if others like it.
Overall:
It's cute, I like it more than the first season and I recommend watching it but I would recommend watching for the side couples and not the main one.

Light hearted
Acting was ok. I didn't like Yo's acting much in this series. Ming - Kit is cute. Yo acts too much infront of others. Always act as if he's shy all the time. Forth likes yo at first but how come he fell for beam after one night stand. Beam loved kit but having no hope he choose forth. Basically yo-gay, pha-gay, Ming -bi, kit-gay, beam-gay, forth- gay. Conclusion: All gays. How come a gay/bi never felt any sexual attraction(not love) to a guy in their whole life?? One time series. But I did like it than s1. Bgm is good. When compared to other series it's a very light hearted 1 time series with some cringe acting scenes.Was this review helpful to you?

Adaptation Gone Right
STORY:The story is a very good story. It's very enjoyable and adorable. The pacing was good and the actions of the characters all made sense. Tven the ending was well written and paced which is something that dramas often fail at doing. Especially BL's.
ACTING:
The cast members were all new to the industry. They did their best and you could tell that they had given their roles their all. They were by no means perfect actors, but they seemed to genuinely enjoy playing their roles which made me enjoy the drama!
Now, I'm just going to note here that I know that the cast is a very fanservice centered cast. This means that they've probably grown very comfortable with each other meaning that they had overflowing chemistry in the drama. I can't wait for season 2!
MUSIC:
The music was your average BL music. It went well with the drama.
REWATCH:
Everything about this drama screamed "rewatch me later!". I've rewatched this two times, and each time I get the same feels/chills that I got when I watched it the first time. It's the perfect drama for you to fangirl/boy over.

Before I decided to watch this remake I already have an Idea that Earth withdrawn from being Wayo in the upcoming 2Moons 3 ?. As of now, while lying, I can't find my strength even planning to watch the next season without Earth / Wayo. Earth have an unfinished business to all of us.
(I think the Writer or all the production team will give us different Wayo. Might Wayo will undergo plastic surgery ??)

Now to talk about KitMing. I feel like they were executed pretty well considering how fast the other couples were going. I also think the actor that played out Ming did a goddamn good job, and if my research is right I think he's also the youngest one, too. He made me felt like he's been acting in many series and movies for many years. Kit actor was on the fence for me, he felt like he was missing something, but I could never pinpoint what it was. But this wasn't only him the other actor that did the character seemed like he was missing something too, but I still couldn't figure it out. Overall I think this couple was probably my favorite in this season.
Last but not least, Fourth&Beam, to be honest, I don't know how this would have turned out if the other actors that portrayed the relationship of the characters. But, nevertheless, I still felt like it was rushed. One thing I could say is that the other actors from season 1 did present the characters very well, but I'm not sure if they would execute the relationship well, that's just something I will never know. But this doesn't mean I'm bad-mouthing the actors now, their acting was somewhat pretty ok as well, I think not as good as the first one, but still pretty good. I feel like the problem was in the director and screenwriter(s) wanting to wrap things up quickly. Also to add to this, I feel like I was being very generous with my ratings.

The Best BL TV series for me!
I'm so addicted to this series. The first edition, 2 Moons, is good; but 2Moons2 is wayyyy better! I have been a believer of these six adorable kids and they have truly gone beyond despite all the hesitations of so many people who bashed them... They don't know what they are missing if they haven't seen this! The best!My favorite storyline would have to be PhaYo as Yo is a very relatable character. I also don't see Earth (Yo) as soft as the previous 2 Moons' Yo in spite the fact he wears pink and his room was girly. I just love him!

I have rewatched the whole thing as I skipped most of the forth/beam storyline on the first go; not sure why, they're great ;)
Initially I was a bit hesitant about the new cast, like most of us who watched the first production, but rest assured you needn't fear, just go in like it was a new show with a familiar story, they will grow on you big time. In my opinion it's mostly because they don't try to parrot the old cast, they managed to make the characters more or less their own.
On that note, the cast: Ming/Kit and Forth/Beam for me are best cast, their interactions for me are the most believable, and to me they match the books the best. Phana (Ben) for me does not match the feeling I got of him from reading the books, dork with a veneer of smooth-sexy idol, Ben lacks the presence that God has, hopefully he finds a way to fake it till he akes it on the next one! and Wayo (Earth) bless his young little cotton socks, needs to learn to move his shoulder independently from the rest of his upper body (that bugged me from day one).
I'll say the acting needs improving because, although there is undeniable chemistry among the pairings, there was a fair amount of the dialogue that felt stilted/forced, particularly the flirty bits. I say this keeping in mind I know the cast is really young and some of them might have very little experience with love/romance/sex, not to mention that if they are not gay, they have to overcome the emotions that go alongside putting your own sexual orientation in doubt for all the world to see, at an age where you're trying to find your place in world and figure yourself out; so brownie points to all of them regardless.
Overall, not half bad, definitely on my "rewatch when you're feeling blue" list, and I look forward to season 3.
(Btw, WTF! I was so not expecting a cliffhanger at the end!)

Loved it!
I loved this! I had watched a few episodes of 2 Moons more recently and saw that there was a 2 Moons 2 thinking that it was a sequel. When I found out that is was a remake I was a little unsure. I decided to just jump into 2 Moons 2 (the cast of the original 2 Moons have a show called Gen Y so I've just been watching that) and I LOVED it. If you've seen the original it might take a bit to get into the remake (b/c you are attached to the original actors or what not) but the cast in this one is great! I'd say give it a go. You can watch all the episode on the official Mello Thailand youtube channel (support the show by trying to stick with official links whenever possible). I'm so excited for 2 Moons 3 coming in 2021!Was this review helpful to you?
