2019 remake that delivers what 2017 could not (CAUTION: SPOILER ALERT)
I started with the 2017 released but was left wanting as early as episode 2. Found this similarly titled series, not knowing it the 2019 remake, clicked on it for that fact alone. To be honest, I was very skeptical as well as dreading it would progress in the same manner as the original or worse as remakes go.Pleasantly surprised this:
1) Had a more focused storyline;
2) Actors were more grounded in their roles;
3) Cast interacted with each other and the camera more naturally;
4) Backstories were put in where it was more logical and natural.
The introduction of an antagonist in Wayo's and Phana's story was surprising but not fully unwelcome. However I wish it was better developed and not inserted here, there and everywhere. Having said that though, in my opinion it is a step up over the multitude of side characters all wanting the Campus Moon in the original. 2017 was filled with women with weak established motivations who only distracted the story from moving smoothly along.
I want to find out what happens with Phana and Wayo's antagonist so I am crossing my fingers that there are plans to develop the couples' stories.
I loved all the couples and would love to know where life took them. Until then, I will spend a couple of weekends watching this series again.

I am not a fan of rewatching a series but this one deserves a shot of rewatching.
At first I admit that I thought I won't like it because I know some of you have the same feeling with me for those who loves the cast of season 1. i am really sad because I thought they can't give us the same feels of the season 1 cast. At the several episodes where the S2 cast re do several scences from S1 i am a bit cringe because in my head its still the season one cast but as the episodes goes by and the real story start I am hooked into it. Specialy when may Fave love team from S1 loves story are emphasized which is Kit and Ming I really love the flow of their story in this Season and I can see that they are more comfortable at each other (not comparing to S1 cast they are still exceptional!????) and even in their personal social media accounts in real life and the fact that they are just casted and didn't know each other from the start unlike the S1 cast which is under same management..And I also love the flow of story of Forth and beam Wherein in S1 ome we dindn't feel anything within these two but in this Season we can see their start and love from each other and how two manly guys fall inlove with each other! And to the main Characters which is Yo and Phana They face the struggle of in a relationship, jelousy and other problems which is impressive. And I can say that the new Cast Give Justice to the Characters! I love it but I can't deny that there are still several imperfections that I see in this series but its reall payed back by the love story of the main characters.
thank you for reading my review.

I'm not really going to talk too much about the plot, except for the fact that it was a thousand times more interesting than the first season. The dialogues were better and I could actually see those events happening in real life.
I think the actors couldn't have fit their role better. I liked Pha before but Ben just...... he has so much charm i....wow I was amazed hahahaha he truly fit the role so well, I couldn't be happier. And he's an amazing actor too. The way he looked at wayo.. chills! I also loved this season's wayo, which was the biggest problem for me in the previous season. Earth is so cute and cuddly and his jealous scenes were so well portrayed. What can I say about MingKit/J9.................. I WAS SO SOFT WHILE WATCHING THEIR SCENES LIKE IS THERE ANYTHING MORE GOALS THAN THAT? ok, breathe. OKAY WHAT ABOUT FORTHBEAM HAHAHAHAHAHHA I WANNA DIE. I can't deal with these couples, I swear. I loved every couple equally and I was never bored or sad that the focus on the couple changed? Like, when they showed several couples in one episode. I was always happy and excited hahahaha.
They all worked really hard and even though this is their first work as actors, they did soooo well.
They are all amazing people too so I love watching their interviews and Pavel's channel. They are great together and I'm so glad they always try to communicate with the international fans :').
The opening song is great and I'm glad they added subtitles. The piano scene.. my heart can't take this )));;;.
I didn't aim at comparison but it's inevitable in some cases. I did like this season way more than the first one and I'm soooo excited for the third season that apparently has been announced. Lovely show.

This will be my own opinion, if you don't agree it's fine
First of all, I can't say which one I prefer because it's too different since in this remake they mainly focused on the two other couples and the story after.Cast: I was disappointed that they didn't keep Bas (Wayo) and God (Phana). P'Ben played P'Phana really well but for me he didn't respond to the tall, manly and really handsome features that I expected but I still liked one very much. As forP'Earth he was really cute as P'Wayo no complaints there but I noticed the fact that in the 3-4 first episodes he tried to force himself to be cute what made his acting less good but he then did it less and he became way better. For the relationship on P'Forth and P'Deam, it was unexpected to happen so fast in one night but I liked it, their couple was really cute (P'Pavel was really hot btw lmaoo). finally my favorite couple P'Kit and P'Ming, I think I prefer these actors then the one of season, one even tho they were both also really good, because I felt more of a chemistry between those two. All actors did a really good job and I really enjoyed even tho I was really sceptical at the beginning.
Story: The story isn't anything really special but I still liked it quit a lot.
Music: I preferred the music of season 1 but the music of this season was good too.
Overall: You can watch 2 moons or 2 moons 2 first it doesn't really matter. But If you want the story of P'Pha and P'Wayo in more details and also the moons competition with more details watch 2 moons first. I can't say which one I prefer but I enjoyed both a lot :)
btw my English isn't absolutely perfect so sorry

MingKit and ForthBeam, on the other hand, I was behind them from the start. I don’t even know why but their stories, they simply clicked with me. MingKit was cute and ForthBeam was hot. I loved Kit’s family issues and Beam’s depression (though it was only hinted at), and that Ming and Forth, respectively, accepted them the way they were, with all their baggage…
Also, another awesome thing was the ride or die friendship among Phana, Kit and Beam. The way they took care of each other, genuinely, affectionately, that was another wonderful part about this drama.
And I’m so happy to hear that there will be season 3! From what I heard, Pavel Phoom (Forth) confirmed it on his IG. I can only hope that, considering the BTS issues, it won’t end up being another Love By Chance, that would… irk me.

I will admit that I did not have high expectations at all when I decided to give this remake a chance. I had my problems with the old series, and I didn't think this remake would be much better. But I am glad to say that I was wrong, this series and the three couples stole my heart.
Story - The story was pretty much pure fluff and I loved it. It will not be everyone's cup of tea but if you love sweet fluffy stories without any major conflicts this series is for you. Although some parts of the story felt a bit rushed due it having just 12 episodes. Some of the weakest parts were probably the Phayo scenes it feels like the director did not quite know what to do with the couple. It's forgivable though since the purpose of this season was to give MingKit and ForthBeam their deserved closure. Still, Phayo has a special place in my heart and I loved them although most people would disagree with me. More episodes would have allowed the director and writer to dive deeper into each of the story arcs. Despite that, they managed to make me love and root for all the three couples. Not a lot of BL series have managed to do that. Thankfully we get to see more of them in season 3.
Acting - All the main actors are rookies which is why some scenes are a bit awkward. The acting way better this season, they all looked comfortable with each other and the kissing scenes are some of the best ones in BL. They truly outdid themselves, especially the new Phana and Wayo. Ben seems much more comfortable then Godt was and I think he portrays a much better Phana. The acting of the six moons was what made this series wonderful.
Music/Production - I do not have a lot of complains regarding music and production. The music was good rather forgettable but it did not feel out of place in any of the scenes. The lighting and the audio were much better this time around.
Overall this series is great and I really recommend you to give it a chance. I can't wait to see what's in store for season 3 and I really hope they won't change the cast this time.

Okay here we go at the first episode i don't like phana becus his acting kinda cheesy. But i still watch it since my another friend gave me spoiler that we have other couples. I saw Ming and i fell in love with his character, the way he protect wayo as a bestfriend this is one of social value example. As long as i pay attention to ming then i was introduced with Kit, their story kinda cute.
Then in the middle of episode, phana's demeanor to wayo made me respect his character he's such a gentleman, the phana actor acts well as episodes increase. When phayo relationship back to normal i mean the story feels increasingly monotonous, i was introduced to Forth and Beam. First i saw this couple was kinda similar with Sotus mixed up with Together With Me. I give it try evidently the story is far away from sotus, and their early stories might be similar with Korn & Knock after that their story also far away from tgwm.
Forth & Beam story had special place in my heart. It reminds me of my first love, my first relationship. This is the most realistic plot among the rest. Their acting was superb (Forth Beam). I like Forth's acting among all. In the beginning he just nothing then he stole my attention at the end. I want to give this couple 9.5 rate since i have a special bound between their story & my past story. This series was beyond my expectation
The music also good!!!! August of the 'love sick' sang it. I love August <3

I don't think they could have chosen any better actors. As they fit their roles perfectly. The problem I have is with the screen writing. I really like the way they wrote the series. However they did not portray the relationship between Pha and Wayo well.
In the novel the character of Pha's attitude is a mixture of Forth and Pha.
However we don't get to see that in this series, as the screenwriters cut or changed those scenes. (Probably to make the series more PG.)
Now let's talk about the last episode.
They really ruined it. Those two scenes were the climax of the whole story. One scene was heartbreaking, the other incredibly satisfying. And they ruined it.
I do reccomend the series. Like I wrote before I have watched it over and over again. Just don't read the novel first and if you did be very open minded.

Directing...am conflicted to comment on it because the behind the scenes parts seemed fun, but somehow that fun was never transferred to the screen. I found the pace very slow, especially when it came to Pha and Yo's story line.
It ended with "to be continued", so I presume there will be more of it. I do hope so and I do hope they'll all be more comfortable with each other and come across more natural. I did like all the actors, even the "bad guy". He played his role very well. Hope to see him again. So yeah... :)

AMAZING SHOWSTOPPING SPECTACULAR NEVER SEEN BEFORE
StorySuch a great story honestly love it. I love it. I love how the relationships here actually learn that they need to communicate and they do!!!! There are no toxic relationships (except Park) here!!! Story line is sooo great and I am super excited for 2Moons3.
Acting/Cast
Personally this cast just seems so much more comfortably with each other that the last season. They did so well and their chemistry is amazing!!!!
Music
The OST for this season not going to lie I think I like season 1's OST better. However this one is also catchy and enjoyable. I like the part where it is like "Hi hi Hi Hi wanna say hi all night" I think when the singer say hi it sounds cool. Anyway.... 10/10.
Overall
A MUST WATCH!!!!! I love it and honestly like I said before you don't even have to watch season one to understand.

ANOTHER REBOOT
Everyone seems to be on the same page here about this series.Another d*mn reboot. Why the Thai BL industry thinks this is cool is beyond me. Nearly every BL uses all the same tropes, enemies to lovers, high school crushes to college lovers, naive innocent nerd and popular elder classmate, Campus Moons, etc. So if you're going to make a series with all these tropes (especially if you're doing it with an entirely new cast), why not just create a new story - rather than force us to watch the same characters in the same scenes, with the same outcomes. If I wanted to see Pha and Wayo in EXACTLY the same story, I'd just go back and re-watch S1 (ps: I don't). I asked this in the comments section, but I'll ask it again here -- does the Thai TV industry do this with hetero series? Or do they feel that only the BL audience is pathetic enough to feed the same sh*t twice and call it S2? So frustrating.
That said, I found S2 much better than S1. I hated S1. The only thing I liked were all the side characters, but virtually everything else about it was horrible. Here, they suffer from the same casting issues... the two main characters are the least interesting and least charismatic of the actors and the side characters and actors are all much better and more interesting to watch. But thankfully, it's not as cloying and melodramatic. The pacing is much better and the direction is serviceable, although not memorable, but at times the cinematography felt phoned in.
The story is the same as S1. Yes, they truncate a lot of the action into fewer episodes, so they can focus more on the 2nd and 3rd couples, but even some of that is just a retread of S1. Is it compelling, interesting, fresh? No. It's all the same we've seen in every other BL as well. By shortening the MC's story, they actually removed some of the drama and conflict that occurred between the two. Both side couples have the same story. One aggressive pursuer, the other initially reluctant. There aren't any real conflicts between the two side couples. They introduce some drama and conflict late in the series when Pring and Park stir up trouble, but it's over and easily resolved. All that to say, don't come for the story.
There are plenty of questionable story choices. Wayo asking Park to the movies is so far out of character it makes no sense. Kit's got conservative Chinese parents, but he brings Ming home with him. Kit's brother's about-face in one evening. Beam's sudden attraction to Kit. But everything flies by in a flash and there is so little real weight given to any moment that none of it was horrible.
However, I wish the producers looked a bit harder at some of the messages they send. Pha is possessive with clear anger issues. I'm not a fan of people saying things like "you belong to me" and telling their boyfriends they can't do things without approval. People are not objects to be owned, and they have outside relationships that should be allowed to continue. Get jealous if you need to, but allow your BF to have his own life. Were these novels written in the 50s? Ming is too aggressive. Kit tells him countless times to back off, but he doesn't. Yes, that's their story - but what kind of a message does it send? Stalk people and eventually you'll wear them down? Forth is not quite as bad/aggressive, pursuing Beam, but maybe they could have tried to tell two different types of love stories, instead of just the same story with different characters.
The one thing I did enjoy this time around was the Angel Gang. There are some moments where they are treated as comic relief, but for the most part they are accepted by everyone (of course, everyone in this entire series is gay, so maybe that's why). They act as good friends, protectors and even help resolve some of the conflict. While they are stereotypes with no real dimension, they are not played with just the right amount of "over-the-top" qualities. I actually wanted to know them all more (c'mon... who wouldn't watch the twins in a ship with Ming?)
It's the incredibly handsome cast you should come and see. Again, the MC are the least appealling, but Ming, Kit and Forth are all worth watching. Wayo is horrible. He doesn't fit this character at all. There was nothing natural about his performance. Pha has some minor appeal. He's not an actor I would cast in a lead soon, but I think he can grow into a decent actor (He reminds me a lot of the actor Marc who plays Itt in MGAYG.). Ming is just adorable. Quite charming and obviously can do a lot more. And he's got a bit of a belly (at least from what I can tell). I love a funny boy with an average bod! Kit is my ideal. I would so fall for this guy IRL. I know some did not care for his acting, but I found it believable. He has a tough job playing the "i'm pretending to be angry while I'm secretly melting inside" and I thought he toed that line quite well. Even Beam is good, with the little he's got. Yes, his sudden attraction to Kit comes from out of nowhere, but you can't blame the actor for bad writing. Both Beam and Kit are so cute when they are being flirted with and trying to hide their excitement. Those sweet moments were everything. But Forth is the stand-out. This guy is destined to be a BIG STAR.
Here's another question... are any of these actors 100% Thai? Many of them didn't even look Asian. I know this is a big issue with Thai and all Asian entertainment... the light skinned, mixed race-looking actors are promoted above the more indigenous looking actors. But honestly, this cast could have been from Europe.
I enjoyed the intimacy. I admit, I do watch these series with the hopes of seeing boys kissing (even just a little peck is fine). Yes, I want great characters and a good story, but a little steam never hurts. Pha and Yo at least seem like a real couple. There is some decent chemistry between the two. And while Yo is that odd character who remains freaked out about intimacy long after they are a couple (even though he's been lusting after Pha for YEARS... like he hasn't imagined them kissing or having sex before!) I felt they handled the first sex scene well and even appreciated cutting away before any clothes were removed. I could loop the moment where Yo comes out of the shower in a towel to find Pha and Forth staring at him. I was thankful they actually acknowledged that boys have sex with Forth and Beam, and that sometimes you have sex for the wrong reasons, and that sometimes you have sex on the first night and that sometimes that can lead to actual feelings. That's real. It was laughable when Beam climbed into the hospital bed with Forth, but I forgave that moment, since it was so late in the series and I knew they had to ship these two before the lights faded out.
All in all, a piece o light, retreaded cliche fluff that I still enjoyed. I won't watch it again. It's just not compelling enough. But nothing angered me here. It feels more like great background tv while I'm doing chores than something that requires all my attention. I hope there is no S3.
