I don't want to give away too much, and I am going to try to not have spoilers here, so I will try to keep things as generic as possible. You may want to skip the last paragraph though if you haven't watched the series, although I don't think it gives away too much.
The acting was great. I can't fault it, or much else about the music, casting, or overall production. Part two was worth watching to see more of the characters and actors, but it wasn't as satisfying as the first one. I think it needs a part 3, but closer to the tone or plot of the first series.
The story was not as good as the first part as far as I am concerned. It seems like they had planned to do a longer season, but for some reason cut it short? It sure went in a dark direction a few times, I don't know why they had to go that way. There would have been different ways to accomplish the same thing. What was the point of the drugs? And the sexual assault stuff can't be permissible in Thailand any more than it would be in the USA? It is hard to believe that they intentionally wrote this second series as shown from the plot of the first series. Like someone else commented, it is like a whole new set of writers and a whole new storyline. Maybe it is poor editing decisions that got us here?
I liked the new couple that they introduced (both cute!), but they didn't even begin to tell that story. Wow, they could have done a whole series on that mess! I would have rather seen more of the main cast, and left out this side story, if it meant closing some of the loose ends of the main couples. I also would have rather seen more of the side characters from the first series and closed some of those loose ends. What about Beauty and that gang? Did that all blow over somehow? What about Man and that girl he was chasing?
As far as the ending, all I have to say is What the Duck was that? I kept thinking that Oat or Pop (or both) would back out at the last minute. What about the new couple? What did they have to say to each other? That would sure be an awkward conversation. What about Pree and Rambo and Pent? That whole story line seemed to just disappear. What about Rambo's forced marriage? What was the point of Pree and Rambo in either series, looking back it almost looks like the marriage plot was filler material.
