2 Moons 2 A Série (2019)

Despite the fact that on world servers this two has a slightly better rating, as number one, I am not inclined to this and rate it overall as a slightly above average series (I rate number one better here on GT). As the biggest positive, I highlight the music, especially the main musical motif and song (sung by August Wachirawit), unusually highly rated, I uploaded the video with the song to the Videos folder. It's not the fault of the actors, how they act, it's part of the whole "production process", the script, the processing and the direction, so in the end the supporting pair seemed the most natural to me, especially the only symposia for me, Forth and his colleague Beam, who didn't walk around hot mess and they immediately shared it in bed with the traditional who will be seme and who will be uke (both wanted to be seme). The main couple, here I noticed that the Thai extreme is brought almost to the extreme here. College student Wayo, innocence alone, when after hours of watching individual episodes, he allows himself to be forced into the biggest porn of his life - a shield meringue, and it's still moving. In some scenes, the creators created him so that he walks in slow motion, sleepwalking, as if he had a pickle stuck in his ass, and communication, that's where I grew up. Before one character asks the other something, it takes an incredible amount of time, the stretching between the texts is disproportionate - that's why I deducted half of the story and processing from perfection in the form of ten points, but otherwise I recommend watching, sometimes there are also comical moments. ..


I přesto, že na světových serverech má tato dvojka o chloupek lepší hodnocení, jako jednička, já se k tomu nepřikláním a hodnotím celkově jako lehce nadprůměrný seriál (jedničku zde na GT hodnotím lépe). Jako největší klad vyzdvihuji hudbu, především hlavní hudební motiv a píseň (zpívá August Wachirawit), nebývale vysoko hodnocená, video s písní jsem nahrál do složky Videa. Není to chyba herců, jak hrají, to je součástí celého "výrobního procesu", scénáře, zpracování a režie, a tak mi jako nejpřirozenější nakonec připadla vedlejší dvojice, především jediný sympoš pro mě Forth a jeho kolega Beam, kteří nechodili kolem horké kaše a hned si to spolu v posteli rozdali s tradičním, kdo bude seme a kdo uke (oba chtěli být seme). Hlavní dvojice, zde jsem si všiml, že thajský extrém je zde přiveden téměř až do krajnosti. Vysokoškolák Wayo, nevinnost sama, kdy se po hodinách sledování jednotlivých dílů nechá donutit k největšímu pornu jeho života - štítivé pusince, a to se ještě ošívá. V některých scénách jej tvůrci zpitvořili tak, že chodí zpomaleně, náměsíčně, jakoby měl zaraženou salátovou okurku v zadku a komunikace, tak tam jsem rostl. Než se jedna postava zeptá té druhé na něco, tak to trvá neuvěřitelnou dobu, protahování mezi texty neúměrné - proto jsem ubral z příběhu a zpracování od dokonalosti v podobě deseti bodů celou polovinu, ale jinak doporučuji ke zhlédnutí, někdy jsou tam i komické chvilky ...

This is good but the ending.... keep reading . ty

Ok first and foremost I would like to say that 2 moons 2 has different vibe than the 2 moons (first season) I especially love ForthBeam here and Benjamin(Phana) is my ideal man for Wayo's character he is a gentleman and understand Wayo the most even though Wayo tends to get jealous easily hehe. I love Phana's acting here they may have cut some scenes from the original series but I don't really mind because they have included all the important scenes and combined those together I feel full when they got together in episode 4 ( sorry for the spoiler) . I also love how this season gave the other 2 couple enough screentime ForthBeam and MingKit as always there is no boring episode whenever Joong Archen (Ming) is there hahahaha I loved him from Star in my mind and I just got here and saw him again in a different light I prefer his character in SIMM though because I simp for Khabkluen aura. The only thing that I don't particularly like in the whole series is the cliffhang in the end even though they have added a sequel (2 moons 3) but to think that I fell inlove to Phana's character here in 2moons2 so bad it kinda left me just a little bit disappointed.. but still I recommend you guys to watch 2 moons, 2 moons2 and 2 moons 3. Do not mind the low rating, we all have diff taste when it comes to the storyline of Bl school lovestory. I've seen a lot of series that garnered high ratings but when I watch it left me nothing but disappointment and not really interesting in some parts. SU SU NA KHA (FIGHTING ) :)))

Definitely a Fangirl here

So I am not big on giving spoilers so I won't say much on the matter but I really hope that 2 Moons 3 comes soon because for having just gotten into BL titles the last few weeks I watched this after the other one and at first was a bit disappointed because of the redo of the same but the pacing in this actually worked for what it was. I loved the chance to see more of the other pairings, to actually get to know the individual characters more.

At first because of the change of actors I was a bit iffy, not realizing that it was a reimagining rather than a continuation (my own fault as I didn't read it properly and just assumed that it being called 2 Moons 2 meant it was a season 2), however I had so many grow on me that I couldn't even say which actor for which role I preferred.

There were many cute moments that had me wanting to squee with joy and do the entire yaoi-fangirl thing though not anywhere near as loud as those in the shows haha.

It honestly has made me begin to think that rather than working on novels I might have to give a shot at writing some screenplays because this show reawakened my muse of late for writing yaoi.

I really hope that we get resolution soon with 2 Moons 3 because leaving it off on a cliffhanger as it did is not rewarding for watching it all. I want to have the satisfaction of seeing a certain character get punished for what was pulled and I really would love to see one of the fangirls take care of someone else after what she pulled. I think at this point I am a Kit fangirl and Forth/Beam fangirl most, but I loved all the characters and the story even with the common tropes.

Meh ?

That’s all I can say about 2moons 2... MEH! ?
Won’t even waste time and energy trying to explain why watching it was a waste of time, but I honestly don’t understand why it has a 8.5 rating. I understand that they couldn’t use the season 1 casts because of some issues but how could they go so far away from the original? And the acting?! Don’t even let me get started with their fake crying and all? anyway, the actors really tried their best I guess, but they’re not just suited for the roles... or maybe I feel that way because I’m comparing with season 1

She understood the assignment

This was a much needed improvement.

I've been in this BL journey for a couple years now, so I can confidently say this is one of their best works in terms of writing. I watched this and the original season back to back and the superiority of this new version was so evident it completely overshadowed the original for me. The season was so well balanced it is almost satisfying to watch.

~Story:
Still simple, yet so much better told. Despite the fact the beginning was a little too rushed, it ultimately ended up playing out nicely. I am guessing the writers assumed the viewers should've seen the original season already, so they went ahead and summarize all that as quickly as possible to give space for everything that comes after. Well played. The original season made me feel empty, like there was a lot of story missing --there really wasn't a feeling of completion. On the other hand, this new version made so much sense, not even a single bit felt left out.

I am a little disappointed about the antagonists, though. There is little to no screen time for them. We know some stuff about one, but the other is completely out of the story for whatever reason, which doesn't really make sense since it is important to understand their reasoning why they did the things they did.

~Cast:
I'm kind of 50/50 about them, I was expecting more from some of them, but was left with some half-assed acting. Before I talk about them, though, can I just say the actors of each pairing remind me so much of previous couples from other BLs? Wayo and Pha look like Pete and Ae from "Love by Chance," Forth and Beam look like No and Phun from "Love Sick," and Ming and Kit look like Nam and Meuk from "Water Boyy: The Movie."

~Wayo/Pha: Even though the acting was a little better from both actors, this couple didn't give the same impact as the original. Bas and God's chemistry was so good and natural (specially thanks to God's acting), that the new guys didn't stand a chance. They both felt more like friends than a couple.

~Ming/Kit: Superior, SUPERIOR! I really enjoyed these actors a lot more than the originals. A very natural performance that held meaning due to Kit accepting that someone could love him for who he is. The writers kind of cut them out at the end but it was due to balance, so I wasn't bothered.

~Forth/Beam: BEST COUPLE, I SAY!!!! They really took me by surprise because I didn't know they were going to have this kind of relationship. Honestly, I don't think the originals even spoke to each other in their season, so the title card that showed them together didn't make any sense to the me... and probably the rest of the viewers. These new guys went ALL OUT and it played out the BEST out of all the couples. Strong chemistry, natural acting, and confident homoerotic scenes. These two stole the whole show for me thank u ♡

~Pacing, editing, and direction:
Check all these with a passing grade, please. This is the kind of quality content I want to support. Even simple dramas can look really good if there's a good vision and understanding of the story. Despite the super fast beginning, the gradually slower pacing afterwards really helped setting the mood and allowed the viewers to get to know the characters better -- everything just makes much more sense now.

Sis, this show has everything: Childhood love, love that blooms in adversity, love you gotta prove yourself for, shitty rumors, actors who don't know how to act drunk, somehow you gotta ask Pha for permission to everything, gay sisterhood and so much more. I totally recommend this version because this is superior to the original season, but you should still give the og a try because God. God is everything.

Having seen the original 2 Moons series back when it came out, I went into 2 Moons 2 with certain degree of expectations and I was not disappointed. To provide some context, 2 Moons 2 is a reboot to the original series and not a continuation of the story line. As a viewer I was expecting a lot of overlap between the two, but was genuinely happy when only the first couple of episodes recapped the original plot line. This gave the writers the ability to add new material to the show, which provided better character development and more clearly defined ships.

I was surprised when the series announced a whole new cast for the reboot however, I personally wasn't as upset about the recasting as I know many other viewers were. In all actuality, I found the new actors contributed a great deal of freshness to the characters that I already loved. That being said, I was delighted to see more of Forth and Beam in this second installation since there wasn't a great deal of this ship in the first.

I would have liked it if the soundtrack for the series had been more broad as it felt slightly lacking despite the number of episodes we were given. For me personally, music plays a vital role in conveying the emotional climate of different scenes and it simply felt like there wasn't enough of that to help the audience along.

Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed 2 Moons 2 and have watched it more than once since it's release back in 2019. If you're considering giving the series a go then I highly encourage you to give it a try!

"2 Moons2 Could have been..."

I have to admit I was hesitant at first to watch a remake of 2 Moons. Season 1 had a great selection of newest actors in Showbiz industry. With hopes that it could meet viewers' expectation, the 2 Moons 2 did not. I guess many of us would agree with other reviews. Mine is as same as theirs. It is a bit disappointment and I will lay down some points on the matter. First, the chosen actors are unfamiliar to us; hence, they have no solid background in acting. I have no intention to tarnish their image, but some casts are not well trained. The series could have been better if the casts had gone through several acting workshops. If they did, then how come they could not internalize the lines well? Second, the Official Soundtrack, unfortunately, is not captivating. I believe throughout 12 episodes, only two song are featured. It is not a deal breaker, though but I suggest the sequel must have at least more than two songs played in different episodes. Third, Cinematography wise is a major dismay. Thai BL series do leave us memorable scenes with remarkable and carefully planned cinematography, which boosts more viewers if such actors are amateur in the field.

Had both director and writer considered the three points I brought up above, this series would have turned into a masterpiece---sadly, never did it happen.

2.5 STARS FOR MINGKIT ONLY!!!

A slow start but it quickly picks up in Episode 3. It's a simple, standard story. Nothing special. No real ups and downs. Pretty standstill and flat-line in terms of conflict, tension and emotions. Some cute moments here and there, but nothing that tugs at your heartstrings or that makes you feel invested. The piano score is beautiful and touching though and it fits perfectly with the story, unlike other BL's where the music feels out-of-place.

Yo and Pha's relationships was a bit too quick in my opinion. They both have secretly liked each other since high school and quickly get together in university. There's a public declaration of love and "I love you" already by Episode 4. There's nothing to build towards. No one who can get in their way since their love for one another has been aflamed for so long. And their scenes gets dull as Pha acts all lovey-dovey whereas Yo acts all shy. And when Yo tried to make Pha jealous just because Pha was talking enthusiastically to Pring. Ugh. So cringey, manipulative and nonsensical. To be honest, YoPha was my least favourtie couple in the series. I LOVED MingKit, liked ForthBeam, but could care less about YoPha.

MingKit made this series worth watching! The chemistry between Joong and Nine was far more intense than Ben and Earth (YoPha, the main couple). Episode 9 that focuses on MingKit is without a doubt the best episode of the series! The conversation between Ming and Kit on the bed made my heart swell and burst! My heart was so full! That moment was beautiful and made me wish that I had someone who could love and accept me with all my flaws. I was captivated and felt myself being drawn closer to the screen while watching that beautiful scene unfold.

ForthBeam was pretty good themselves. However, I felt that their relationship was too quick. The feelings for one another were too quick, especially from a one night stand. And Forth did actually acknowledge how quick and sudden his feelings for Beam were. And then, they quickly became like close friends and then, Beam suddenly acts all cold to Forth and then, they reconcile.

The ending didn't really make much sense though. Park decided to create a hickey (assault) Yo and post photos of the evidence around the school because Yo 'humiliated' him by leaving him in the theatre. Like what? Park knew that Yo only asked him to go watch a film to spite Pha. Park knew that Yo was using him to make Pha jealous. By accepting Yo's invitation, Park was already humiliating himself. But no, it was Yo leaving Park at the movies that make him angry enough to assault and post photos of that assault. No sense at all. However, by leaving the series on a cliffhanger with a "To Be Continued," it does ensure a sequel, so that's good! Hopefully, MingKit will get more screen time in the sequel!

On a side note, I was kinda annoying that the series equated acne and glasses to being ugly and that Yo looked more handsome and desirable because he was "fair-skinned" (no acne) and didn't wear glasses. However, Pha did like Yo even when he had acne and glasses, so that's good in a sense.

On another side note, there was a lot of rape jokes though, which turned me off. I noticed that Thai BL's have a lot of rape jokes. Hopefully, they will realize the harm in them and not make them anymore.

Bland and Forgettable, Same as the Original 2 Moons

There have already been 45 reviews by the time I’m writing this, but oh well, here’s the 46th!

After watching the whole series, I still didn’t really get the hype behind this drama. The current rating is definitely higher than it should be. I admit, half of the cast is very good looking (Joong, Nine, & Pavel), but both the story and the acting fail my expectation.

If you’re in it for the BL and like to watch boys flirting and trying to get with each other, you’ll enjoy some of the moments in all three couples. Some of the dialogues are cute and you can see the chemistry between the actors.

However, if you actually want to watch a good drama, this is NOT it. The development of each relationship seems very forced, and it takes you out seeing how all of them are gay/bi. Like, that’s not realistic.

The actual filmmaking techniques are not good either, especially the camerawork & editing. It seems more like a school project than a professional piece.

The only redeeming quality about this series is the visuals of the cast :(

Ended Up Kinda Bored, Also Phan Deserved Better FRL

I really tried to get into this series I swear! But it was just so boring that I found myself skipping through it constantly. Most of the series felt like 90% filler, 5% plot movement and 5% arguing. Sometimes 3 separate storylines can work out in 1 series, but in this nobody really got enough screen time for me to be invested. Our main couple Yo and Phan were cute at first, but then I got really annoyed with Yo. Phan's actor though I actually liked the most out of the cast, he was quite good. He made Phan's character likable and really sweet, honestly he deserves better than Yo who kinda treats him like garbage once they get together. Which doesn't make sense since Yo is literally OBSESSED with him outright but whatever. Some of the side actors were alright, the angel gang did enough to where they were entertaining enough and got a chuckle out of me.

Forth and Beam just kind of felt like leftovers tbh, which may have been the point with their characters? But I just didn't care about them at all. The most interesting couple out of the 3 was definitely Ming and Kit, their scenes I didn't really skip around. Them alone couldn't save the series, but I would probably watch a spin-off of just them if it ever arose. I will also say the ending cliffhanger got me really annoyed, mostly because the plot was finally FINALLY getting interesting and I was starting to get invested and then BAM "to be continued". WTF, ugh! Now I'm basically forced into at least finding out what happens with that grossness with Park, whom is a literal psychopath along with Pring.
