Our Skyy 2: Never Let Me Go (2023)

My review for each section of this series is based on the following criteria:
- Did it add anything to the original series
- Was there either an absence, advance, or regression of character/couple development
- Was the story concept interesting
- Script quality

I placed spoilers at the end of this review.

I was not a fan of Never Let Me Go but I enjoyed this section. It’s not a new story concept, but it was an interesting one. The script is not perfect, but it was definitely better than the main series. See the spoiler alert at the end of this review if you want more information. It didn’t add much to the main storyline, but this was a good thing for this section. The cast did a great job with their characters. However, there was not much character/couple development. The ending was very similar to an episode of Our Skyy. See the spoiler alert at the end of this review if you want more information. The one thing that is consistent with the main series was the poor/weird background music choices. The cinematograph was good with a few minor exceptions.

Random Note:
It was nice to see Pawin (Petch/Phum) and Marc (Kla/Kan) paired up again. They were the main leads in the BL series My Gear and Your Gown (2020) which is very underrated.


******Spoiler Alert******

Although it did not match the original series concept, I get why they used the time travel aspect. This allowed them to do the role reversals. I also appreciate they wanted to make this interesting.

The ending instantly reminded me of how Our Skyy, Episode 5 (Characters Arthit & Kongpob from SOTOS/SOTUS S) ended.

Better than the series, but still not good.

It's not the first Our Skyy that I have watched bcs I didn't follow the episodes airing, I'm just following the series as I watch them.

I already did a review of NLMG and my note was 3. I'm not reviewing it as a new part of NLMG but as a special. For a special, this was kinda... funny? I laughed a bit and the story was so... camp. That's why looks better compared to NLMG. But I not really liked the plot, tho. It was... well FOR WHAT?

With the amount of drama in the main series, the special could be more bright, I guess. But it's cool for people who liked the series since here they were so more lovey-dovey. And that's another problem for me, LOL. It doesn't look real, yk? They were being sweet and it was kinda... embarrassing? To watch. It looked really fake. I didn't buy it.

Pond and Phuwin have chemistry, although they are not good actors, they have. But here, I was ? well, WHERE THE CHEMISTRY GO?

Well, it's not good at all, but anything it's better than NLMG. And for a special, is what the fans wanted I guess.

Overall, compared with the other episodes of Our Skyy, it's decent.

Never Let the Ridiculousness Go

The scriptwriters of Never Let Me Go are not good, but at least they are self-aware. Recognizing how ridiculous the series' plot is, they decided to embrace this ridiculousness. The result is a surprisingly funny combination of historical fantasy and the fated soulmates trope. It is as full of plot holes and convenient coincidences as Never Let Me Go, but it manages to be entertaining because neither Pond nor Phuwin, nor the other actors take themselves and each other seriously. If you enjoyed watching the series despite its many drawbacks, you will like these two episodes too. Just keep it in mind that Ben and Chopper do not make an appearance.

FANTASY X NEVER LET ME GO!

For PalmNeung’s story, I LOVE IT. It is so damn cute and I am always a sucker for fantasy genre. I did not expect that they will have this kind of plot for 2 episodes and makes me have the closure that I never knew I needed. I mean come on!!! This is way too good! The director knows how to portrays how much of a struggle love between two men back then and can we just talk about how the quotes in this 2 episodes is <3 <3. Like the part - "Love between two men is forbidden here. Maybe in the next life, you can be together.". Something like that. I forgot lol but yea! PondPhuwin never disappoint and when I found out that they are doing back to past genre, I WAS LIKE "YALLLLL YASSSSS.". There’s nothing I would change for their part and POND IS GORGEOUS UM HELLO???? I can’t help but to fell for him damn! Can I just say I couldn’t get over Phuwin’s English? It’s damn perfect! I really like him and I love how both character has developed well by years. Feel more mature.
