Very Disappointing overall, but what I was expecting.
I was a huge fan of the original Our Skyy Anthology Series that was also done by P'Aof (except for the Sotus epsode) and done brilliantly I thought the same would be done for these 8 episodes and their character couples and stories even though, I would not be watching 3 quarters of them as the newer generation ships of GMMTV just don't seem to have a spark or chemistry as the older generations do sorry not sorry as per when the Teaser Trailer was dropped at GMMTV Showcase of 2022.
It is funny that Neo, Phuwin & Drake are the only 3 actors from the original Our Skyy series which shows how far they have come as actors or how far they have fallen whichever way you want to take it.
I skimmed on 8x speed most episodes, except The Eclipse, Vice Versa and BBx ATOTS Crossover which was the one I was most excited about as these 2 series are still the best series ever made by GMMTV and in the Top 5 of P'Aof's greatest series ever made and I am a huge OhmNanon & EarthMix fan, the Crossover episode did not disappoint me even tho I would of preferred the BB to be set after BB series ended and for the characters to be getting ready for the Pran & Pat's wedding the same with Phu & Tian should of been getting married and should of began where their series ended, but when the trailer came out and PatPran were seen to still be in 3rd or 4th Year of University I was like ok we are just going to get some cute moments and was not sure what we would be getting from Phu & Tian.
I think with The Eclipse, I understand them focusing more on Wat and his love for Indie Films and putting his movie into a competition scenario as we didn't really get much of his backstory in the original series, the creepy relationship with the Teacher tho is not for me and I would prefer him to be matched with Namo as per the original novel.
The Birthday surprises of pretending to forget or not turning up for the episodes that did were tasteless as no way you would forget your best friend' birthday let alone your partners and the only issue I had with Aye & Akk is that they both had a 360 degree personality change since the original series and if anything you would think that they're the ones who had the body swap theme which prob would of been a better story, say an eclipse happened and it made them switch bodies or something so they could understand each other feelings better or something.
KhaoFirst & NeoLouis did very well and saved this series with their great acting skills and chemistry as couples, I am hoping for a NeoLouis Main lead BL for 2024 as they deserve it even though there are whispers that this ship will be split by GMMTV as Neo will be acting with Mark for the remainder of the year. But I prefer NeoLouis chemistry.
Vice Versa I expected a wedding as well since the characters became engaged in the last part of the original series but the story with the random kid turning up (who turned out to be Up's nephew in the end) was flat, boring and Jimmy & Sea still haven't got any chemistry together doesn't matter how many people say they do, Jimmy has more chemistry with Drake again Sorry Not Sorry, from the original series, it would of been better to go back to the "other world" and have them interact with Tess and Tun who in my opinion are more interesting characters and have an intersting dynamic of the Love/Hate thing .
All the other series were boring, the stories didn't make any sense, there was no cohesion between their original series and the special episodes, no chemistry between the actors or couples, it felt rushed, the script was a well a mess, a hot mess.
The Cinematography was beautiful though, P'Aof did well with getting the right places to shoot but all and all it could of been done better especially since as an OG BL Fan I expect more from P'Aof and his friends who are also directors especially P'JoJo and this cast as they have a lot of seasoned actors in the bunch and if there was bad scenes they should stopped and reshot them again and again until they were perfect, but it was just lazy scriptwriting.
My individual scores for each 2-part episode are: (I gave 1 because I could not give a score of 0)
1-2. 1/10
3-4. 1/10
5-6. 8/10
7-8. 1/10
9-10. 1/10
11-12. 1/10
13-14.10/10
15-16.10/10
