Best GMMTV BL for 2021/2022 - 5 KAZZ Awards to prove it

This is my first time review and I wanted to put down in words how fantastic this show is from end to end, from the behind the scenes, camera and production crew, to the OST's, MV's and artists who performed all the songs to the directing and adaptation from the original novel to most importantly all the main and support cast and actors, this was a perfectly casted and even though we had to wait for over a year to see it the wait was worth it.
My favourite parts were getting to hear Nanon's beautiful voice singing in the OST's, the chemistry between not just main leads Ohm & Nanon but also between the support and side characters, Milk,Love, Drake and Jimmy do such a great job of portraying their characters that you both love and hate them.
I love that classic toxic BL tropes were raised & addressed in this series as an OG BL fan I am sick of "I'm not gay, I just like him"
Good to have Architecture students and not just Engineers students in a University setting
Great to have a switch or verse main couple, pansexual main lead and a legit gay main lead and great to have our first GL side couple and hope to see more of MilkLove ship in future projects.
Ohm and Nanon's chemistry is what mad this show and has been the best I have seen between a ship couple so far, the kisses were so real and not the cringy fish eye kisses from the past.
P'Aof once again has done a brilliant job adapting the original novel into a script and making it even better he never disappoints me he is the King.

Saved the Best For Last

Episode 3 had me worried but after watching Episode 4 I understood what it was meant to be, it was the bridging episode to get us to our destination that was the Queen of the Our Skyy 2 episodes, Episode 4 of BBxATOTS crossover episodes, I feel sad seeing how much the Earthmix fandom are attacking the Bad Buddy fandom about them ruining each other's episodes or taking each other's screentime, but, I however being both a fan of EarthMix and OhmNanon this made it so much better for me, having my 4 Kings on one screen so I was not disappointed and don't believe other than the characters continuously getting lost in the woods for 3 days straight that it didn't show the chemistry of the couples which is what we watch a series for.
The 4th episode gave us EarthMix just being EarthMix and showing us their chemistry, "friendship" and love for one another as Chief Phupha and Tian, I predicted either a wedding or a proposal and was hoping it would be better after the first half of the Our Skyy 2 franchise gave us sudden and meaningless proposal in episode 4 of another couple series and don't get me started on the fake Eiffel Tower proposal from Enchante.
The play was done brillant and OhmNanon shone as Pat & Pran, loved Pa saying and acting like the entire fandom during the original ATOTS series (It was very META of P'Aof)
The sweet moments of Phu & Tian in Chang Mai and in Bangkok spending the day being sweet and having date night was so cute.
I feel no weirdness between Ohm & Nanon so to all the haters and antis that are attacking them both at the moment, please go and touch grass and remember to ship the characters not the actors.
I got my WaiKorn moment that we were robbed of in the original Bad Buddy series and of course funny moments in the last scene that were classic EarthMix Space even tho we saw glimpses of Earth's playful side throughout episode 4.
So for those who are considering whether or not to watch this series because of all the toxicity and bad comments you have read from other fandoms or antis, solo stans or those who have not watched the previous series I would advise you to watch it yourself and make up your mind, it was a 10/10 for me and I have been in the BL fandom since 2014-2015 and you are always going to get the good stuff with the bad stuff but this is one that you don't want to miss out on because you were critical.

Very Disappointing overall, but what I was expecting.

I was a huge fan of the original Our Skyy Anthology Series that was also done by P'Aof (except for the Sotus epsode) and done brilliantly I thought the same would be done for these 8 episodes and their character couples and stories even though, I would not be watching 3 quarters of them as the newer generation ships of GMMTV just don't seem to have a spark or chemistry as the older generations do sorry not sorry as per when the Teaser Trailer was dropped at GMMTV Showcase of 2022.
It is funny that Neo, Phuwin & Drake are the only 3 actors from the original Our Skyy series which shows how far they have come as actors or how far they have fallen whichever way you want to take it.
I skimmed on 8x speed most episodes, except The Eclipse, Vice Versa and BBx ATOTS Crossover which was the one I was most excited about as these 2 series are still the best series ever made by GMMTV and in the Top 5 of P'Aof's greatest series ever made and I am a huge OhmNanon & EarthMix fan, the Crossover episode did not disappoint me even tho I would of preferred the BB to be set after BB series ended and for the characters to be getting ready for the Pran & Pat's wedding the same with Phu & Tian should of been getting married and should of began where their series ended, but when the trailer came out and PatPran were seen to still be in 3rd or 4th Year of University I was like ok we are just going to get some cute moments and was not sure what we would be getting from Phu & Tian.
I think with The Eclipse, I understand them focusing more on Wat and his love for Indie Films and putting his movie into a competition scenario as we didn't really get much of his backstory in the original series, the creepy relationship with the Teacher tho is not for me and I would prefer him to be matched with Namo as per the original novel.
The Birthday surprises of pretending to forget or not turning up for the episodes that did were tasteless as no way you would forget your best friend' birthday let alone your partners and the only issue I had with Aye & Akk is that they both had a 360 degree personality change since the original series and if anything you would think that they're the ones who had the body swap theme which prob would of been a better story, say an eclipse happened and it made them switch bodies or something so they could understand each other feelings better or something.
KhaoFirst & NeoLouis did very well and saved this series with their great acting skills and chemistry as couples, I am hoping for a NeoLouis Main lead BL for 2024 as they deserve it even though there are whispers that this ship will be split by GMMTV as Neo will be acting with Mark for the remainder of the year. But I prefer NeoLouis chemistry.
Vice Versa I expected a wedding as well since the characters became engaged in the last part of the original series but the story with the random kid turning up (who turned out to be Up's nephew in the end) was flat, boring and Jimmy & Sea still haven't got any chemistry together doesn't matter how many people say they do, Jimmy has more chemistry with Drake again Sorry Not Sorry, from the original series, it would of been better to go back to the "other world" and have them interact with Tess and Tun who in my opinion are more interesting characters and have an intersting dynamic of the Love/Hate thing .
All the other series were boring, the stories didn't make any sense, there was no cohesion between their original series and the special episodes, no chemistry between the actors or couples, it felt rushed, the script was a well a mess, a hot mess.
The Cinematography was beautiful though, P'Aof did well with getting the right places to shoot but all and all it could of been done better especially since as an OG BL Fan I expect more from P'Aof and his friends who are also directors especially P'JoJo and this cast as they have a lot of seasoned actors in the bunch and if there was bad scenes they should stopped and reshot them again and again until they were perfect, but it was just lazy scriptwriting.
My individual scores for each 2-part episode are: (I gave 1 because I could not give a score of 0)
1-2. 1/10
3-4. 1/10
5-6. 8/10
7-8. 1/10
9-10. 1/10
11-12. 1/10
13-14.10/10
15-16.10/10

PatPran and PhuTian the perfect combination

I have been waiting for 6 weeks to watch my favourite 2 episodes and favourite 2 Character Couples of Our Skyy 2 as the others I either did not care for the Character couples or the shows themselves as the quality of GMMTV BL this year so far have been disappointing to say the least.
P'Aof did not disappoint me as usual being a fan since joining the BL and Lakorn world back in 2015 and being with him since the Gay OK Bangkok days when he was just an actor.
OhmNanon brining Pat Pran to life once again and making me fall in love once again with Pat & Pran and all the characters from Bad Buddy just like Nanon's showbiz dads TayNew did during their Our Skyy Episode. I don't believe the rumours irl going on between Ohm & Nanon as anyone who watches them can see no dramas.
The Storyline was well done and I love how it gave basic hints to those clocked in about "Forest Conservation" and a reference to "looking up at the stars" even before the crossover was leaked, the second part also feels like PatPran were always apart of the ATOTS series as the chemistry between Nanon and Mix is the same I felt between Mix and Khao in the first series which shows just great actors, it would of been nice to have Khao & Drake play their respective characters in ATOTS but they may still come back in the last episode.
I loved everything about this episodes and can't wait to see what the other 2 episodes have in stall for the true fans of Bad Buddy & ATOTS.

Best Anthology Series Ever

Absolutely loved 4 out of the 5 couple episodes (Sotus and Sotus S was never my favourite BL drama or main lead couple were so toxic, I'm actually glad that they are separating, cos baby you can do so much better, run and run fast)
The 5 pillars of GMMTV of the 2015-2017 truly showed us why they belonged to be on top of the Industry.
I've seen this series getting a lot of hate from those that are coming into in the modern era (2022-2023), but you need to put yourself back in 2015-2017 time of BL's when these couples were the peak couples of time.
Being Polca Taynew, FrankDrake and PluemChimon are always going to be my favourite as I am bias, however I was a huge fan of Puppy Honey series and OffGun being able to switch personas and make us still feel that they are the characters just shows the true talent of OffGun's acting and Chemistry.
I loved all the side characters for every episode and my heart will always be with PeteKao and TayNew showed us why then and still now they will always have our hearts with being able to bring the characters of PeteKao to life even after a break and then DBK came, and they were able to go back into the roles once again to give us perfection.
P'Aof did a fantastic job at directing and producing and continued storylines from the original series that made sense and were related to the actual series and able to give us a "happy ending" for all couples even if we didn't get new Seasons, it was enough to close off an say goodbye to these much-cherished characters.
My Individual Score for each episode was:
1. 5/10
2.10/10
3. 9/10
4.10/10
5. 2/10
