Synchonicity
This review may contain spoilers
I was a Tin/Can shipper from Season 1 and, as such, I was royally pissed at the way Season 1 ended. Overall, I was okay with how the Tin/Can story was handled here. Here are my pros and cons:
PROS:
TIN & CAN CHARACTERS. I just love them. Mean plays Tin so sensitively, and Plan brings out the over-the-top craziness of Can to a T.
MUSIC. That was one of the things I really liked about Season 1, so it was nice to have so much of the same soundtrack used here in Season 2.
TUL/HIN KISSING SCENES. Hawt. Nothing more to say.
SUPPORTING CHARACTERS. Nice to see Pond and Bow back. Would have liked to see more of Bow. Mai and Job were welcome additions.
FOOD SCENES. Seriously! When Tul made the spaghetti with bacon and chili sauce for Can, it looked so good that I learned to make that dish myself. (And yes, it was delicious!)
CONS:
TOO MUCH DEVOTED TO TIN/CAN BACKSTORY. I suppose if one never watched Season 1, this wouldn't have mattered. But SIX episodes devoted to backstory? Okay, we got some insight that we didn't get in Season 1, but it was just too much.
OTHER COUPLES. Kla/No would have been fine and cute, if it weren't for the fact that Kla RAPED No, and it was swept under the rug. Tum/Tar were non-existent and had no more than three minutes of screen time for the entire series (and they had only about 15 minutes of screen time in Season 1). Was there a point to them? Tum got together with Keen, so I guess it's all good... whatever.
TUL/HIN STORYLINE. Weird as hell. So, it seems, Tul served as a sadistic master to Hin for years. Then, when Hin comes back, it's as if they're the sweetest couple in the world, as they become Phupha's two dads. And speaking of Phupha...
PHUPHA. Most annoying little kid I've observed in quite a while. Couldn't stand that twerp.
THE FATHER. Wth was that all about? I couldn't follow his story at all... especially when it came to Hin. Did the father send Hin as a sex slave to Tul? And dad just sits in a home office all day and lets his two sons fester in their emotional problems? What a weirdo.
LAY. She started out kind of cute, but then became super creepy and unlikeable. Yecch.
AE. Perth is a fine actor, but his self-destruction seemed over-the-top. And please, PLEASE... don't let him sing in another series. Ever. And I've always been upset with Ae, for treating his good friend Pond like a total pile of shit (in both this season and last).
I'm rating this on the high side -- 8.0 -- which is strictly because of Tin/Can.
