There has to be more to the story, right? Bonus episode? A season/book 2?
The other world / multiple Cir and Phu / clock room / Cir's visions and knowing stuff from the other versions / Cir's missing and reappearing scar ...... none of that is explained. And then the stuff with Cir's family .... the "property" mentions as if all of it is okay.
Add on Jin's ability to read minds .... if everything else is just one reality, then that means that Jin is the only one with an actual supernatural ability???? How does that work in this non-magical/regular world??? What makes him so special that he is the only one (presumably) in this universe who has a power like this? Why introduce it if nothing else about the supernatural/sci-fi plot was actually supernatural or sci-fi?
2 Moons is season 12 Moons 2 is season 22 Moons: The Ambassador is season 3 - I haven't seen this one yet, but…
Right?!? I was very concerned the first episode of Ambassadors because of the time jump. On top of that, it turns out I'm not a fan of the actors playing Wayo and Pha this season. The 4 new Ming, Kit, Forth, and Beam seem to be fine so far though.
By the 2nd episode I had gotten used to the new faces and introduction to the new couple. I'd actually be fine if the previous characters just stay in the background and let the new couple's storyline be the focus.

Based on comments and posts, I thought 2 Moons: The Ambassador was season 3 and started up right after 2 Moons 2 ended. However ... that does not seem to be the case.
It starts with the 3 main couples talking (with Wayo obviously fine), and then goes into the next year, because there is another Star & Moon competition with the incoming freshman. So some significant time has to have passed.
Maybe they back track at some point, but I'll be surprised (based on how it starts).

New viewer of the 2 Moon universe .... watched the first season (2 Moons) for Bas as Wayo and watching the second…
I just finished this season and I was so frustrated. Pha lets people hang on him and gets upset when Wayo gets jealous. Yes, Wayo should have just said something instead of acting immature, but Pha doesn't get to act superior or guilt Wayo as if he did nothing wrong. Add in the sexual guilt/pressure after someone made him the target of a public sexual rumors was just completely tone deaf ... especially after promising Wayo that he could set the pace and he was fine to wait.
All 3 couples had issues with public and private affection. Go at your own pace, that's fine. But none of the couples seemed in sync. Even something as simple as handholding seemed like a battle of wills. There was plenty of time to navigate their comfort levels ... not much happened in the storyline. If they were going to fill time with fluff then it would have been much better spent on them strengthening their bonds instead of falling back on tired jealousy scenes. (I know this is from years ago, but I'm just seeing it now, so I'm bummed after hearing the series often recommended.)
I have to at least start season 3 ... 2 Moons: The Ambassador ... because of the way this ended. I didn't like it, but atleast it was an actual plot point ... and they just stop in the middle of it. Made no sense. I don't know if I'll watch the entire season though. I'll have to see how that specific part plays out and if I'm interested in the new characters that are supposed to take the leading roles this time. Again, it's a brand new cast all the way through.
This is so confusing...is ep 12 the last? didn't feel like it
2 Moons is season 1 2 Moons 2 is season 2 2 Moons: The Ambassador is season 3 - I haven't seen this one yet, but I hear it picks up right where 2M2 ended
New viewer of the 2 Moon universe .... watched the first season (2 Moons) for Bas as Wayo and watching the second season (2 Moons 2) for Joong as Ming.
The first 4 episodes of season 2 seem to be a quick recap of season 1 .... which is weird and smart at the same time. Same characters and story, brand new faces. So I suggest watching these 4 episodes as a way to get used to the new faces before the new story content starts in episode 5.
Can you watch season 2 starting at episode 5 ... yes, probably.
Can you watch season 2 starting at episode 1 if you haven't seen season 1 .... I don't suggest it. Condensing 12 episodes down to 4 automatically leaves out a ton of important stuff already, but there are specific things/reactions/references that make no sense in the recap if you don't have knowledge of certain other things. I watched 2 Moons and went immediately into 2 Moons 2, so I was able to fill in the holes just fine. But viewers who don't have that added context may find themselves lost or annoyed in places.
FYI ... I really liked Bas's Wayo in 2 Moons. I'm sad the company drama meant the original actors couldn't return for sequels .... but I'm liking Earth's Wayo in 2 Moons 2 so far, and Joong is doing great as Ming. I'm glad I gave it a chance. The test will be how things go with the new material starting in ep 5.
My prediction .... I think DaOn was always the target, and the other 2 got together as a way to keep one or the other from him.
My guess is JaeMin agreed to be with Su Hyeon because he knew Su Hyeon was dangerous.
But I've seen other guesses that have JaeMin as the bad guy and Su Hyeon as the protector. But if that is the case ... then why has Su Hyeon been gone for so long without JaeMin harming DaOn, and why is he suddenly back wanting JaeMin back as a boyfriend?
In uni... was it.... a honest to goodness triangle? It has been ages since I've seen a real one. Not a love angle,…
That isn't my guess. I wondered too, but DaOn's attempts at confessing to JaeMin lean me towards a friend group. I could be totally wrong. I think DaOn was always the target, and the other 2 got together as a way to keep one or the other from getting with DaOn. My guess is JaeMin agreed to be with Su Hyeon because he knew Su Hyeon was dangerous. But I've seen other guesses that have JaeMin as the bad guy and Su Hyeon as the protector.

It's basically a commercial for a drink. That's fine if you know it going in. Also ... happy ending here is subjective. Happy For Now is more likely. I have a feeling that if these characters were real people then they would all be paired with different people a year from now.
Would love to see these two in something else. The main storyline had potential, but it got lost in all the side antics. I was okay with the show not being super serious about serious topics .... but there was too much going.
- The 2nd couple did well and matched the tone of the show.
- The 3rd couple was over the top. It was a series already limited to 8 episodes ... why the need for a 3rd couple? I am actually fine with including a sex addiction plotline in a series ... but there just wasn't enough room here without it being used as a joke.
- The 4th couple was completely unnecessary. I think the time given to the doctor couple could have been better spent on the main couple.
- The hotel owner and obnoxious assistant .... a fine villain/foil concept ... but none of it was believable. From the barely-out-of-his-teens actor playing a hotel mogul to the assistant being such a creeper for most of the show. Be a love rival or be a hotel trying to get the land ... having them both in this way was too much.
- Sangmin's parents made no sense. Why ... why why .... why why why why????? All that wasted time with the other side bits could have been used to explain this better and show more of Sangmin and Dinneaw's story.
They gave Hill & Ter way too much time, mind you, Ter’s dad didn’t apologize to Hill and Hill’s grandpa…
For season 1 (in the books), Hill and Ter sort out their stuff within the first semester of year 1. By the time Jo and North's book starts, HillTer are already official. Johan and North's story finishes out the rest of year 1.
For season 2, we'll definitely get some Fah and Phoon flashbacks since they've known each other since they were toddlers. Fah's family moves when he is around 16 (Phoon was around 15) so they don't actually see each other again until they end up at the same university. And how they are in that first year/season is pretty much how they are in the book too. Things don't start to improve for them until part way through year 2.
Arthit and Dao don't actually meet until much later when Dao moves into the condo next to Arthit at the start of year 3.
So, for either couple, unless they adjust the timeline then we shouldn't get too many, if any, BU or LITA type flashbacks that need to repeat anything that happened in season 1.

Episodes get shorter as the series progresses, so this is basically a 2 hour movie broken up into 14 parts.

Still lots to figure out.

Fah, Real, Hia, Dom, and Babe were all juniors/3rd years
Teerak, PunLee, Joy, and Type were all freshman/1st years

Fah's family moves when he is around 16 (Phoon was around 15) so they don't actually see each other again until they end up at the same university.
