This show is a double-edged sword. It is good because it has a plot that I like, but I've seen it before. I like that it continued the story that the original never got to do, but it's more like a diet version.
The acting (minus Phana's actor) was so much better in the first. I feel so bad. I tried SO HARD to like this new one. I kept telling my friends to watch it and give it a chance. But the acting felt flat. Phana's actor was better than the first but Wayo, Ming, Kit, and Beam were lacking. Forth's actor was by far the most believable, and his couple had the most chemistry. Chemistry is what lacked A LOT in this series compared to the previous. I was almost bored my certain scenes. The pacing was also very fast, and it lacked a lot of memorable scenes that were replaced with Wayo and his stereotype fairy gang. I know they played a huge plot in the book, but they rewrote a lot already. Why not tone them down?
But it was enjoyable and overall a decent remake. It just doesn't quite have good rewatch value.
