2 Moons (2017)

When I began watching this drama, I had gone in with reading only the synopsis (The old one, I changed it after I watched the drama)
Well, the main character, Bas was very sweet ass and it got in the way of the drama a little bit. the pair of it Phana was not one of the best characters in the drama, although she was only clowning with Bas.
The story itself was not very good, did not focus on the secondary couples (which it takes to be a good BL drama) besides taking a long time to unwind the main couple and the secondary that did not even unfold was.

SPOILER:
+ A happy ending. However, there were no developments in the other couples

As a big fan of Thai series, I really enjoyed this one because it was short, sweet, and pretty drama-free. I do love me a good, long, dramatic and angsty series, but sometimes you just want to sit there and watch something adorable unfold. That's where the appeal or this one really lies.

The performances by everybody were pretty good. I've seen bad acting and I've seen amazing acting, and this is pretty good. A lot of people compare it to the novel and are disappointed, but honestly, I liked this better. The characters in the book are a bit more abrasive and in this, they're more appealing to me as far as their personalities.

All in all, this is one of my favorite BL series, not because it's got the amazing writing and performances of others, but because it's just very enjoyable and sweet without any over-complicated drama.

This is the fluffiest BL drama that I have ever watched. It'll make you puke sugar because of too much sweetness! Normally I'm more into dramas that involve self-harm or other similar genre but this was the opposite. Let me break down my opinions on this drama because there's so much to say and I'll try to summarize it.

Story: I like the story a lot! Even though the main pairing is a cliche one, I still liked it. But what I like more is the new love team that has formed on the later episodes. The S1 plot is a typical love story with a short but expected twist lol.

Acting: I got attached to the cast since episode 1 because THEIR VISUALS *god have mercy* ARE SO BEAUTIFUL. And them coupling up on one BL drama is one of the best things that BL shippers could ever have. Although, since I started watching season 2 (which got recast), I like the acting of the new cast than the old one (THEY'RE ALSO PRETTY BUT S1 BOYS ARE MORE DREAMY). But I love all of them equally.

Music: WHY DOES BL DRAMAS HAVE VERY LONG INTRO LIKE---- I LIKE IT BUT---- UGH. Though I love the OST! especially that 1,2,3,4 thing god that got stuck on my brain for a while.

Rewatch Value: If you ever feel sad, just watch this series. It'll make it disappear in no time!

Overall: 9.5/10. I haven't read the novel yet but I will very soon!

P.S. If anyone knows any self-harm BL Thai drama please recommend it to me! :)

Uma história fofa com personagens bastante realistas!

Bom, pelo menos na minha visão, 2 Moons não teve todo aquele mimimi de clichê BL em que os personagens sofrem sozinhos e não contam pra ninguém o que está acontecendo. Isso realmente me incomoda enquanto telespectadora, mas 2 Moons não me fez sofrer isso, felizmente! Claro que houveram conflitos e clichês, mas eles foram muito bem resolvidos em espaços de tempo quase perfeitos, isso me agradou muito!

Bem, sobre a história, ela é bastante simples. "O garoto que usava óculos no ensino médio e passou a se cuidar depois de levar um fora agora é um dos mais bonitos da faculdade", simples e adorável. Tem esse concurso na faculdade do Yo pra eleger "A Estrela e a Lua" da escola, e essa é basicamente uma referência à um conto tailandês que eu não cheguei a pesquisar direito, mas no contexto da história é um show de talentos pra decidir quem dos novatos é mais popular. Okay.

Demorou pra eu entender o significado do título da série, e acho que não conta como spoiler dizer que o Yo é apaixonado pela Estrela do ano anterior da faculdade, um menino que estudou com ele no ensino médio. A coisa é que esse menino não reconhece ele sem óculos (efeito Superman mesmo), dai eles começam a tretar já no início da história.

A única coisa que me decepcionou nesse drama foram as caras e bocas do protagonista (risos). Ele faz umas caretas estranhas que não parecem bater com os sentimentos que deveriam ser retratados naquele momento, como se o rosto dele tivesse dado bug por causa do crush ???????, não sei. Isso não atrapalha taaanto a história e, num geral, o resto da atuação é bastante boa.

Eu estava (estou) assistindo mais dois dramas enquanto via esse, mas chegou um ponto que eu simplesmente não queria mais ver outra coisa além de 2 Moons, foi hipnotizante! É um drama muito fácil de ver e divertido, valeu muito a pena.

Really, really, really excited for season two I really can't wait to see where everything is gonna end up and the mains are just so cute together. You could trip up and fall all over their love. Get stuck in it roll around and play in the sweetness. Its flipping great!

I love the fact that it took him having his glasses on for him to recognize that it was him. Like that is such a real life thing too. Guys can be so dense. Like I used to not wear glasses and when I started people were like what you look nothing like yourself. Years later when I wear contacts now people say the same thing. Its really interesting how much a simple thing can change your face. I found it really endearing how the main characters tripped up all over themselves the moments that they realized they both cared for each other. My favorite part had to be how much a few not naming people tried to get in their way and it just didn't stick. like they explained it away to their loves that there was nothing there. I loved how neither of them made like a blow up big deal out of nothing.

The bad: God that dance scene we had to rewatch them do over and over again killed me. I am a professional dancer and they needed some serious technique help. But since it looked like it was just for fun and entertainment at the end I guess it was okay. But then why make them practice so hard for something that's supposed to be fun. They are not training dancers.

Anyway rant over. It is a great series I recommend you watch it for sure. There are ups and downs like in all drams. But I think this one was well done overall even if the acting is a bit weak here or there.

This drama is a fujoshi's dream come true. I almost gave up on BL dramas until I came across this. I love all the boys in this series each of them have a charm about them that makes me go wild. And what makes this even more lovable is that this drama has 3 very different couples (only two really are shown in this series the third couple will have more shine in the sequel.) that have good amount of screen time so you can fangirl over your favorite. Mine is Kitkat and Ming for reasons I can't tell without going into spoilers. But they have a good growth development and it's not rushed, it feels real. The story is simple and easy to sink your teeth in and filled with enough cute to give you a heart attack. It dodges some annoying cliches that drive me crazy but despite my love for this series it does have some minor flaws. One being that Wayo (Pinnirat Suradej) is very obvious with being new to acting. There are scenes where he literally turns into a deer in the headlights and it can become cringy at times because he does it so much. Like there are moments when a character will ask him something and he will just stand there with his mouth open like his brain just melted and he forgot how to talk. HAHAHA . I really hope he doesn't do that in the sequel. Also you can feel a little awkward tension between the actors during intimate moments especially from Wayo (Pinnirat Suradej). Sorry if it seems like I am picking on him. He really has grown from what I seen of him in a mini little drama commercial thingy. Also the music reminds me of elevator music and I never really could get into it. There were times where I wish I could just mute it but then I wouldn't be able to hear the boys. Those are my only complaints everything else was wonderful. I love the story, the cast is perfect, the acting feels natural for the most part, even the supporting cast and little background characters that pop up are lovable and most of all the romance has so much drama and cheese wrapped up in a nice little beautiful perfect BL ball. I have watched this drama twice and I probably will watch it a thrid time before the second part airs. This is my favorite BL ever! 8.5 out of 10.

Bas is so cute in this show. His combination of sweet/brat is really fun. There’s not enough kissing, but I actually enjoyed the focus on the contest. A lot of BL has a quick freshy contest subplot, but actually digging into it was more fun for me.

I also love the very enthusiastic wingman friends. The subs I watched made too many rape jokes, though it might have just been a bad translation choice , since the subber even notes at one point that theres a word that means f* in a pushy way but it’s not really rape...ok...well. Why did you translate it like this then? I liked this one more than 2moons2, even though I know the cursed history.

Nothing to write home about, but worth watching if you wanna kill a weekend.

So first of all: I really liked it.
The not so high rating by me simply comes from the fact that I personally missed a good load of drama in this show.

2 moons is very cute, very soft and very romantic. There are no major plottwists, no moments where you fear that they won't come together etc. It's simply very unproblematic and fluffy. I definitely enjoyed it, but I wished to see more dramatic scenes I guess (I loooooove dramatic stuff).

What I really love about the drama are the characters and actors. I really loved all of them, the characters were well displayed and acted out, and also really well written. Also it's the first Thai drama I've seen where there was no girl having a major role ... It just seemed as if everyone's gay anyways.

So overall, I really enjoyed the drama as it was easy to follow, a let's say, typical young people love story, the characters are amazing and the couples cute. I personally just need more drama.

Exciting as a wet dish rag

I was really enjoying this story and Wayo was a really cool mixture of cute and a tough which I found unusual and unique. The supporting characters were also really cool and fun. I especially liked the quirky character of Forth, who was funny and playful. Ming as Wayos best friend was awesome, and the best friend anyone would love to have.

So basically everyone was great except for God Itthipat Thanit playing Phana. I disliked his cold facial expressions right from the start, but put it down to him playing a cool aloof Dr-in-training character, but as the series went on I could see the facial expressions of Kit and Beam smiling and admiring Wayo learning his dancing and thinking him cute, but Phana's face just had cold expressionless eyes that I found really ugly.

I don't know what was going on with this actor, but I think it was poor casting, as he clearly wasn't really into playing this role. By episode 5, it was clear there was no chemistry between Phana and Wayo, and romance was totally one sided from Wayo, and non-existent from Phana.

I gave up watching as it was not going to get better and I didn't want to waste more time on it.
