Of the dramas being continued with Our Skyy 2, Never Let Me Go is my least favorite. I didn't think it was a great drama to begin with and it's one that seemed to have a pretty conclusive ending that didn't need any further embellishment so I didn't have high hopes for these two episodes. That turned out to be a very good thing as these two episodes were completely underwhelming and frankly, quite tedious to watch.

The story just seemed ridiculous. To go from the more serious tone of Never Let Me Go with being hunted down and trying to survive to these two episodes where we suddenly have fortune tellers and magical bracelets and curses and jumping through time, it was incredibly jarring. Introducing a rather complex concept in such a short period of time was foolhardy and it doesn't flow well. There are far too many plot holes, too many questions left unanswered and not nearly enough time to properly flesh everything out.

The acting, as I've come to expect from Pond and Phuwin, was a mixed bag. Pond continues to bore me with his lack of expression and Phuwin varied from decent to over the top. I was, however, pleasantly surprised by Pawin and Marc. They both played minor characters, but I liked their acting. It felt more natural to me than either Pond or Phuwin and, honestly, I would have preferred more of them.

The few things that I liked were that Palm and Nueng did communicate. Not necessarily well all the time, but they made the effort. Compared to Never Let Me Go where I felt like they never really communicated, this was an improvement. Despite not feeling like it really fit with the drama, I was intrigued by the historical setting. If the special had fit in better with the original drama, I think I could have liked it, but that disconnect just killed it. It also didn't help that Palm and Nueng really didn't make any effort to blend in, Palm in particular. They stood out like sore thumbs and it ruined the atmosphere. The power swap was interesting with Palm suddenly being the rich and powerful one and Nueng as a servant. It created a bit of a different dynamic between them at times. I think it could have been played with to a greater extent to reveal more about the characters and allow them to grow both as individuals and as a couple, but I'll take what I can get. I liked the side couples of Phum/Petch and Kan/Kla. I found them more compelling than Palm and Nueng, particularly as Petch and Kla. Their romance, though brief, was sweet and innocent, a breath of fresh air. And while they couldn't be together due to the time they lived in, it was gratifying to see their descendants able to be together without fear.

These two episodes were just a mess. They didn't add anything of value to the story and just felt really out there and disconnected from the drama. If you're like me and not a fan of Never Let Me Go, don't waste your time on these episodes, you won't be missing anything.
