A nice remake with an interesting cast.
This is a pretty enjoyable remake of the original 2 Moons. I am glad they condensed the story of the first season into the first 4 episodes, so that the rest of the episodes still felt fresh.Not gonna lie, I think the lead couple here is very meh. I think the actor who plays Wayo really cannot act because his crying is atrocious, his "aegyo" is cringe and he is generally very stiff. This actor is also the lead in My Secret Love and he is better in that. The actor who plays P'Pha is also very bland, and really plays the character very monotonously. I thought their chemistry was extremely lacking and their scenes just felt like a drag. The original Wayo and P'Pha were way better, imo.
On the other hand, the second and third couples are very cute and enjoyable. My fave couple was Ming x Kit, which was a great enemies-to-lovers story. Their chemistry had spark and their vibe was very fun and engaging. I loved seeing how these two got together. Also, the actor who plays Ming is absolutely gorgeous!
The Beam x Forth couple is also cute. I love how they start out as friends and sort of build an attraction over time. I got through this show by skipping all the scenes featuring the main CP after the first few episodes and just watched for the other 2 couples!

Heartwarming and sweet dating reality show!
This show had me hooked from the start! Considering how trashy dating shows in the West are, I was extremely pleased with the way this show was conducted. The cast is fantastic and there is absolutely no unnecessary drama or fighting. I loved meeting these 8 gay men who were looking for love, and the show makers seem to respect that. Even the tasks they had to do and the way they went about "matching" with each other was done nicely while respecting everyone's boundaries.Special mention to the fact that the show-makers spent time asking these men their experiences while living as a gay man in Korea. Hearing their experiences (the good, bad and ugly) really made me appreciate the producers for not making this show as a cash grab but actually supporting LGBTQ+ rights.
My only issue: the way the show went, they really exposed a lot of the men to very humiliating and embarrassing situations. For the people who did not match with anyone, the humiliation was a bit difficult to see. It felt unnecessarily cruel to see them be rejected in front of everyone.
Minor Spoilers Below:
My absolute favorite couple from the beginning were Chang-Min and Jeong-Hyeon. Even when these two did not hit it off at first, I saw the chemistry. I am so happy they end up together and out of all the matches, theirs seems the most real and very sweet. I was absolutely wishing these two together so I was super happy to see them paired up at the end!
Special note: loved Jeong-Hyeon x Eun-Chan x Hyeon, the 'sisters' of the show, whose friendship made me lol too many times!
