To start off, I will say some people might not like this season compared to the first one, but honestly, I feel like there were more messages in this season compared to the previous one (I will get into that). I would also like to add, I might ramble a little bit because I have lots of thoughts on this series.

Story:
The series picks up where last season left off. All the returning main cast along with new faces. The new faces (that played a big part) were Lookmai, Jeff, Piengkwan, and Miriam. You might like these new faces or not, in my opinion though, I liked all of them. They all added something in my opinion. Lookmai was pretty rude (with the whole using her friend's house), but her and Jeff's storyline added that reckless young adult hookup culture. Someone wants to try everything, but always getting herself tangled (and others) up in them. Piengkwan was the villain of the series. The one I guess to get the plot moving. Honestly, without her, there wouldn't be a season 2. She did some bad stuff, but again, without her, a lot of the characters wouldn't have developed. Now I know most people wish Miriam stayed the entire series, but I think it's important to look at the type of a person it is rather than wanting a more GL storyline. Loved her, but then I realized her relationship with Aoey was a bit controlling and suffocating.

If you haven't watched the series yet I'm about to spoil that part (a bit more). If you don't want this to be spoiled, skip this part of the review. Basically, Aoey started dating this woman named Miriam and their relationship didn't make it that far in the series. Personally, I wish they didn't break up, but it made sense why they did. First off it was Aoey's first time dating a woman and it was a bit of a controlling relationship at that, so their relationship ended. I will say they didn't do the GL plotline justice in this series.

For most of the series, it lived up to its name, being very complicated. There were 4 main messages with this season: family, friendship, relationships, and happiness. I think people need to realize at the end of the day, life is about people coming in and out of our lives. We might not like how some people leave, but at the end of the day, we have to learn from it and move forward. This series was really just about life and doing what makes us happy.

Cast:
As always the cast did a phenomenal job. I could feel every emotion, especially Kluay's. Also, I think we can all agree that for a rookie actor, Luke did amazing. I never actually seen Luke act before this series (even though I've known about him for a long time). His pairing with Jane was really adorable.

There isn't really that much to say about the cast other than they went beyond my expectations with this season.

Overall:
I loved the first season a lot, but I feel like there were so much more messages in this season. In the first season, it just felt like the daily lives of a group of friends, but in this season there were messages that made me think about my own life. There are good moments, bad, and tragic. I guess you can say there was more structure to the storyline than the first season. Overall I give it an 8.5/10, but I might be biased since this is one of my favorite series with my favorite casting.
