I was very excited for season two of this series only to be left disappointed on so many levels.
Top of the list: I was so angry at Pha for leaving Wayu without an explanation in season one, that, if asked, I would have totally said Thanu was who I wanted for Wayu. I wanted Pha to return and want Wayu back and be denied, but because he'd been a d*ck, NOT because he was terminally ill and trying to shield Wayu from the pain.
I could still have handled it if the reveal to Wayu had been handled better. In short, Wayu and Pha's former relationship was left completely unresolved. They never had that talk they needed to have--not on Pha's deathbed and not even in the last episode at the gravestone. I felt that in that scene Wayu returned a gift that, I suppose, in so doing made him feel able to sleep with Thanu. (Can you hear me rolling my eyes?) Pha should have explained to Wayu why he did what he did. Wayu should have explained to Pha that he understood but his feelings had changed. Instead, he just stated his feelings changed, Pha got depressed, stopped seeing people, and went off his treatment and then died. Wayu saw him minutes before Pha died, Pha asked him to sing to him, and he didn't! What the hell?
Thanu's character got on my nerves. He moves like a slug and acts like Jesus. I got so tired of seeing him standing, so patiently, so lovingly, so forgivingly. Just. Waiting. His almost kisses with Wayu were eventually replaced with the most careful, chaste kisses IN THE WORLD OF BL. (And that's saying a lot.) Which brings me to my second top-most beef.
What in the hell was the point of the plot of Thanu and Phai in season one? I mean, it's all fate and destiny until the producers decide the fans want Wayu with Thanu instead of Pha (but only because they think Pha was being a jerk to Wayu by leaving him without an explanation.) The whole thing was so obviously contrived to keep Thanu and Wayu apart.
Then, we see a glimpse of interest between Sandee and Phai, but that goes absolutely nowhere. (The 3 years Later at the end pretty much assured us of that.) That brings me to my 3rd disappointment.
Evidently the Jack/Koh pairing didn't get very far in the THREE YEARS between their budding relationship and graduation. What a disappointment! They were so promising. I'm assuming there's no Gen Y 3 featuring Sandee/Phai and Jack/Koh. (I'm sure the writers would have ruined it anyway.)
Pok/Tong, thank goodness, got together, but I really wanted more from them. And speaking of more...
This show was supposed to be about Kit and Mark, but the writers kept them away from each other for a good majority of the series in the most stupid, contrived manner. Who needs to PRACTICE being away from each other? DUMB. So dumb. And after Covid, I had no desire to see two people Face-timing.
While the actors are all great and cute as buttons, they couldn't save the series from the fact that the majority of it consisted of the writers keeping the couples away from each other. I have never been so annoyed and disappointed with a series before. In two words, It Sucked.
