My Heart for 2 Moons 2

Initially, I was very hesitant to watch this season of 2 moons. I have watched the first season and I fell in love with it right away although not all of it is something you would like specially at some point it lacks truthfulness of the message it wants to convey or maybe it lacks proper execution of emotions to tell a perfect story, but I don't want to be a perfectionist in a way so yes it was something you'll surely find amusing. If you like a cute story about semes and ukes then you probably need to watch 2 Moons. The story itself is something that will make you blush, it is overwhelming and truly something that will make you nostalgic of those days when you were in school, finding your crush and falling in love, cute stuffs you would need to fulfill your heart's quest. All of these I found from watching the first season is not something that would stop me from following the series. Not that I would want to do until just recently it broke my heart when the casts was announced to be replaced due to contract problems, some business issues that could have been solved but it wasn't. So I decided I will never watch it anymore. Maybe I have made the decision in protest or I don't want to anymore because I feel bad for the actors. But who am I to judge the business minds of the people behind this show though. Until recently, I woke up with all this news that the new actors will fulfill to continue what was started by the original actors of 2 moons. In fairness to the new actors, they are very much willing to shed blood, sweat and tears to make a good show. At least it what I have seen from them during their promotions and interviews.

Now I'm gonna make an honest review of the season 2. So far there were 2 episodes aired already and I am very much thankful with Mellow Thailand for uploading with English subs for international fans. Now I can follow the journey of the moons. I appreciated that they started the season by backtracking the story with of course the new casts. It will not only give the new and old fans a refreshing start but as well give them a base of the story with a completely new environment. I also love how they carefully took away scenes from the first season that would harm the story-telling and pace of the new season. Just like what they did with the infamous raining scene where Wayo slipped and Phana caught him with his strong arms. I am very glad they took it out hence it will help stop the continuous comparing of the previous actors and the new ones for the role which can not be avoided and definitely unfair. I have been vocal about avoiding to watch the next season even to my friends but when I saw the trailer, I quickly fall for it and got excited to see more, specially my personal bias now is Joong Archen Aydin. Honestly, at first I am hesitant if the new actors were able to pull it off, but as soon as I watched the pilot episodes again and got through the succeeding one, I noticed that it was really different from the first season. The trademark of the director is evident but I completely forgot it wasn't the same actors anymore. That is something commendable right? As I stared unto the faces of the new actors and as I carefully followed how they act I then realized they were impressively fit for the role. I wasn't sure for the actor who played Wayo though, because at some angles he can be awkward and the actor who played Phana too, but I am certain though that they can work on it because I believe that they are perfect for the role. Now, let's talk about chemistry. The actors who played Ming and Kit here is oozing with chemistry. Even off-cam, they can be like TaeKook (waving to TaeKook fans out there), or they can be really good real-life lovers. Maybe that is what makes Joong Archen Aydin a perfect seme because he can be really sweet and caring, even if it is not fan service anymore. This might be the reason why he immediately rose to fame. I could say a lot of things for the season 2 of 2 moons but it was just 2 episodes being aired yet. So, I reserved the rest of my review for the succeeding episodes.
