Not as good as the original, not Becky’s fault

okay I have opinions, some good some critical.

starting with the positive, I think Becky did absolutely amazing. Kitty left really big shoes to fill, and the character was already so established.. But Becky managed to encapsulate that vacant, slightly creepy humor just right. It’s important to note also that nano was a very different character to roles she has played previously, and very different to her usual personality.

Another positive, you can see the improvement in production quality, and each episode provided a slightly different perspective and style.

I personally thought episode 1, 4 and 6 were the best. I liked the underlying messages in these episodes and felt they were a little deeper/ darker than the other episodes.

Now for the criticisms… I feel this season just didn’t quite hit the mark the old series left. it lacked a layer of depth which would have helped the underlying messages hit harder. It needed to be darker, more gruesome, include more taboo themes. As the viewer, the creepy atmosphere and shocking screen play were not up to par.

Overall, I enjoyed watching the series, and especially loved watching Becky as Nano. I also got excited for the guest appearance from Jane. Some of the humour also hit well. but in general, the series was not as good as the original 2 and lacked depth and darkness. This is in no way a criticism or Becky, and more likey a Hollywood style byproduct of having extra budget and a wider audience.

unexpected gem

I decided to watch this drama after seeing a few people give positive reviews online. I’m glad I did!

The chemistry and tension build between the two main characters is insane 🔥Moreover the story and plot felt interesting and well executed, which can sometimes be a miss with good romance series.

I think like eveyone agrees, the storage cubpboard and bakery scenes were top tier and had my heart racing.. But can we also talk about the training days, Thara helping Vicky build stamina, resilience and strength. A perfect mix of passion, tension, comedy and drama 🧡

My only reasons for not giving above 8.5 stars:
-imo the storyline of them being childhood friends could have been done better or even not included at all as it’s been done a lot now in other series

overall absolutely loved this drama

meh

I really looked forward to watching this as I really enjoyed the first reason. I loved the adult lesbian workplace romance, comdey and main character casting.

season 2 let me down a little to be honest. I still rated it a 7 overall due to ep 6 kinda saving the day, and my love for the main characters however this season could have been done so much better…

-Spoilers-

Hiroko’s inability to communicate and lack of understanding for wha Ayaka wanted (despite her constantly saying it) became frustrating and unrealistic at times for an intelligent adult relationship.

Hiroko sleeping at another girls place naked, platonic or not, is also quite problematic and was never really addressed with Ayaka🙃

luckily Ep 6 felt sincere and brought things together, but it took too long imo to get to this point. Anddddd if I’m talking in terms of satisfaction, a lot of build up for verryyyy short kiss scenes.

maybe I’m too spoilt with Thai GL 🙈
