Watching the Bad Buddy parts, I can safely say that the only disappointment I have towards Our Skyy 2 is from the My School President team. Which is ironic, since they're the biggest success this year.
Bad Buddy showed the meaning of being power couple, and also the convincing act of playing their characters, even after long time had passed. The chemistry between Pat and Pran become more mature, and the story, while still very cute, retains the spirit of the original story. The story was simple, and yet they make it so fun, full of laughter, and also original, not a rehash of the old situation. They're enemies, yet they're also boyfriends, and this strange dynamics is what make us love the story even more. Fainting Phupha at the end is just an added bonus that I welcome with open arms. I laughed so hard at that part, and I definitely woke up my parents, and got scolded because of it. But it was so worth it. Phupha being fragile? Bring me on!
This also showed that storytelling don't have to be super genius or super creative. All teams in Our Skyy showed us at least some kind of progression or at least original story for their characters, while the My School President stuck in the past. I still retain to my original comment, that while the multiverse is fun and cute, but it brings nothing to the table. It's not even memorable enough.
Someone told me that I should not expect continuation from Our Skyy 2 story, and I never ask for continuation. I wanted something new, something original, that they could give to us. It showed that they care about their audience, that at least they're thinking about what they could share to the viewers. Bad Buddy parts showed that they can go back to their university days, and they're able to create a completely original story. They even incorporate the story of Thousand Stars in a way that's so seamless I never once thought they're not in the same universe. This is the multi-verse or alternate universe done right.
Seeing all the rankings here I think it's safe to say that there's no fixed one for Our Skyy because most of the…
This is more like fluffy side stories of the couples, so the fans of the drama will definitely like the couple that they adore the most. Personally, I love The Eclipse team because they have a good balance, none of the actors are glaringly bad, and the chemistry of the main couple(s) are just lit. Even Wat and Teacher Sani.
But for story, I'm going with Never Let Me Go. I like that there's an added background to their original story, though the shaman thing was kinda random. But it's the most fleshed out, in terms of the plot. Next is A Boss and A Babe, surprisingly, because it actually has a coherent plot and a direct continuation of the main plot.
Personally, I'm disappointed in My School President because how they choose to be lazy and to do the same thing, just with different actors in different role. If only they do what A Boss and A Babe did, which is role-playing, then it will be much better. Instead, they choose the laziest way possible.
Someone in the comment, I honestly don't remember who, making an excuse for them, saying that they just ended so they don't have time to shoot, etc. But A Boss and A Babe showed that it's possible, you just have to be committed to what you're doing instead of trying to justify yourself.
If he never apologize for what he did, then I would hold him accountable, whether he's still a minor or not at that time. But if he already apologize and people still drag this issue on him, then that's a shame. They just lost a very talented young actor.
About his BL partnership, this could be just me, but I think Ohm is someone who want to dominate all the time. Dominating here doesn't mean he wants to have complete control of others. but more likely being stubborn and not able to compromise. Partnership always require compromise, and from what I see in several videos, I think he's someone who is not able to compromise easily. This could be the reason why his BL partnership didn't work for a long time. It's just me speculating though.
To be honest, I don't even know much about this "scandal" about Ohm. So, what happen really?
Well, it's sad to see that none of his BL partners actually stuck around. I mean, he had different partners so far in every BL projects he did.
I don't even know that they're in a fight. I watched the drama and like it, but never really like them as a couple so I don't really chase them. Thanks for filling me in. It's really helpful to know what might happen behind the screen.
Regarding Ohm's sexual orientation, what do you mean by this?
Overall, the Boss and a Babe stays true to its origin, which is a cute and stress-free (except for eps10-11 that I'd rather forget) drama. Even the sequel has this charm and cuteness that the original has.
Even though I agree a little with Cher about Gun being a too strict boss, but what Gun said also true. If he's not strict and not pushing his employees to do better, then how could he pay them? Though, he needs to loosen up a little.
The reason I like Boss and a Babe because it relates to me in many ways. As a manager that handles a team myself, I have my own temper. It would be nice to have someone like Cher who could guide me and remind me when I did wrong.
While it's not the best episode ever, but A Boss and A Babe showed that role-playing is a choice! It's a thing! Something that maybe My School President should have considered rather than creating the alternate universe, while cute, but brings nothing.
I actually like A Boss and A Babe. It's cute, and I don't really expect a lot of plot since the show mainly about two people being cute together. There's not much plot, but it's also not that bad.
I hope the second episode will have the same vibe as the first episode.
And I hope, the alternate universe plot ended with My School President.
This might have been the biggest disappointment for me, even more than the Star in My Mind that's full of fluff cute domestic life of the couple. I don't hate multiverse, I'm someone who reads more than enough fanfic for 20+ years of my life that I enjoy multiverse, but I guess the My School President team really let me down this time.
The original was already so cute, so I don't see the point of them trying to make the multiverse to just amp up the cuteness. For what purpose?
I really feel that it's a lazy story writing. It feels like the writer just didn't know what to do with the characters and they're pressured to create a script fast, so they think, let's just do the multiverse and change some things! These 2 eps definitely feel like this.
I was not angry or unhappy. It's still a very cute drama with cute leads doing cute things together. But I'm disappointed that they miss the chance to create something new. I was really expecting them to at least be happier trying to navigate the university life, and Tin's mom warm up further to Gun, but I guess that's just me. Everyone pretty happy with the multiverse so I guess the writer knows what they're doing and what they do to sell the drama to the viewers.
After all, people have different expectation about the show. If you have no expectation about the kissing scene,…
Yes, as you said, people will have different opinions. That's why I am also inquiring on the OP, how do they know what the actors are feeling? Like, do the OP know them personally? You know, I was curious. And an intelligent debate didn't start with big letters that feel like you're being dumbed just because you don't have the same ideas as them.
And if you read my original comment to the OP, I have never once said I dislike the kisses. I didn't even blame the actors. I was just stating my opinion.
And like you said, MDL is a place where people can talk and have discussion as they will have different way of understanding things. That's why I am politely inquiring, but was given the reply that didn't answer my question.
I asked the OP: how do they know the actor's feeling? Because in their comment, it seems like they truly know the actors. So I am just asking. And what I got in reply is a long paragraph about how the actors look like dead fish when kissing female (irrelevant), BTS scene (irrelevant), and other answers.
They can just answer: It's my personal opinion, and wouldn't that be great? After all, like you mentioned, people have different opinions. And I am not going to refute the OP of their opinions, because it's entirely theirs.
Someone said here that the director wanted it to be VERY 'PG,' so that's why the kisses were toned down a lot.…
At least someone replied to me in a rational way.
I didn't even criticize about the kissing, as I don't really think ot was that important. I am someone who likes hug more than kisses.
I just think it's weird they choose the manhwa with "smut" category and then remake it in PG. Of course, it's not like I am complaining. I did say the chemistry was fine, but people was so quick to blame me and label me as a hater, even before they truly understand my comment.
After all, people have different expectation about the show. If you have no expectation about the kissing scene,…
I don't understand why you have to reply to me with big letters. I can understand your point just fine.
And it what part that my reply is immature? I literally said people have different expectation.
People would most likely blame the actor because they're on the screen. It's always like that.
And like I've said, that's a BTS, they know they're being filmed. They can't just say that they dislike something on camera right? That's why it's back to my argument, how do you truly know that's what they're feeling? Just because of the BTS video?
I am not attacking you or anything. But your reply, with those big letters make you look much more immature than me. I rationally trying to explain about why people have different expectation, and why this is suddenly making me feel like I can't say my opinion?
And if you read my first line: I have no expectation towards the kiss.
People who are blaming the actors for mannequin kisses why blame the actors? Its director who controls what scene…
After all, people have different expectation about the show. If you have no expectation about the kissing scene, like me, then that's fine. But there are people who have higher expectation in this area.
How do you know that the actor didn't refuse in kissing their co-star? Like, are you them? How do you know what they're feeling? If you argue, "But in the BTS, they have so much chemistry!" then isn't it better to show it on-screen? Just a thought.
People are expressing their complaint and their opinion, so there should be no need to attack them about what they believe is good. After all, they make up like what? Maybe 5% of the entire comment who said that the drama is one of the best.
Someone said here that the director wanted it to be VERY 'PG,' so that's why the kisses were toned down a lot.…
Why the very PG though? If they wanted to adapt the story, then bring the story to its fullest. The chemistry is quite okay, so with better directing it will be better.

I'm only the most disappointed with My School President for being lazy and using the alternate universe.
Btw, what about Ohm's scandal?
I actually like A Boss and A Babe. It's cute, and I don't really expect a lot of plot since the show mainly about two people being cute together. There's not much plot, but it's also not that bad.

It's actually quite okay and fun.
