Kiss Me Again (2018)

Okay, my review of this drama will only be about the BL part. I did not bother watching it for the other couples-(too many and some were annoying), so please keep in mind that it will only reflect some aspect of the drama. I'm sure that the other couples' stories were interesting (not to me), but I could not get into them at all. I tried and gave up and ended up just watching Pete and Kao's relationship.

Onto that part then. If you like BL dramas (I actually like any drama, but lately BLs have been taking over my life) then you will definitely like the way Pete and Kao's relationship evolves. It's the typical "I hate you to then I like you" story line, but it was nice to see. Pete's cockiness and his bad boy attitude wanted me to punch him at times, but he made it up with the way he would look at Kao, not realizing that he was falling for him. I also liked Kao's way of putting himself and his feelings first and making it clear to Pete that he could not play with him and his feelings. It was so refreshing to see a character that put their needs and feelings first in order to protect themselves.

Aside from that, I also liked the way the ex-girlfriend was not made into a villain in the end. She was a bit needed and manipulative, but she also had some moments were you could empathize with her and realize that people are not just bad, they can be good and they can also change for the better.

I still don't see how this series flows into Kiss me, because it seemed like here June was aware of Pete and Kao's attraction, but in Kiss me, he was totally clueless. We also didn't see much of Sandee who was the only person to know their relationship (what the hell happened to Sandee btw?) The fact that Pete's father found out, albeit though the evil scheme of the ex-girlfriend-was a good touch, because the boys had someone else on their side. I also believe that Kao's mother was hinting at her knowing they liked each other and it's nice to see parents support their children.

If you want to see the drama for just the BL, then you won't be disappointed (I suggest Lazysubber as she is the only one who has the BL parts in order and translated). If you want to see it for the other couples, then go head and watch it. This drama suffered from too many characters syndrome and I just couldn't commit to the other couples because they were not to my liking. Some of the pairings were super annoying from the bit that I watched and that's why I stopped following the whole thing.

Cons: MY GOD those long a&& commercial promos in the drama. Why were they always given to Pete and Kao? That soup company truly invested a lot of money into that drama. Pete and Kao spent on average two minutes just making that soup and slurping it--2 minutes we could have had of more character development.

To be honest, I was expecting a really nice series as the continuation of Kiss The Series. However, I felt disappointed. As soon as Sanson started investigating about Matt (Mond)’s sexuality, I was thoroughly disappointed with her ways as I thought that they were very rude. I started skipping all of their scenes after that. I liked the plot between Sansuay and So, and also R and Sanwan’s, but they were cliché. New and Tay’s plot was great and I really loved it because I really like a plot where the characters starts as enemies. Overall, the series is just okay. The chance that I will rewatch the series is very small, and maybe I’ll only do so for the scenes that I like.

Oh Lord

I feel bad for being just another review that skips the main story and jumps straight into the BL. But, sadly, I m another reviewer that is skipping the main story and jumping straight into the BL part of this series. don't get me wrong, I tried watching the actual series in hopes that I would turn out to like it more than I thought I would, but I couldn't get past the first episode. So I just skipped for Pete and Kao's parts. Ooops.

Let's dive in.

Production: I can't remember too much ( I watched this a while ago) but I do remember that there were a lot of ads stuck in the middle of the stories. It takes away so much of the characterization when half of their scenes is them promoting a company. Other than that, just your usual production.

Story: Obviously, I didn't watch the majority of the series, but from Pete and Kao's story, it was okay. Not a fan of enemies to lovers, and they had a lot to do with that. Not that I despise it, but the thought of your enemy falling in love with you never felt quite realistic to me.

Acting: Tay and New are incredible actors and I once again enjoyed them very much in this series.

COUPLES

Pete and Kao: 7/10

Like I said, not a fan of enemies to lovers, so Pete and Kao weren't my favorites, But I did enjoy watching them. Some of their scenes did come off as being super cringe, and at times I really felt like I should just turn it off completely, but I'm glad I didn't since their story carries over in DBK. Their relationship felt a little rushed, and they got together so fast. There was just such a weird switch in them hating each other and then loving each other.

FIRST KISS RATING: 1/10 - cringe-fest. No, accidental kisses are the death of me. I only accept Ae and Pete's.

RECOMMEND? No. Absolutely not. You can watch DBK without the need of watching this one, which is what I should've done, but oh well.

I have to be very honest with this one: I literally skipped almost every single scene that didn't include Pete or Kao because I wasn't interested AT ALL in the other couples. Tay and New saved the show for me because even though they aren't the most skilful actors, their chemistry is incredible and I hope we get to see them as a couple again in the future. A few things I didn't like:
-Why is there a fighting scene (or several) in every episode? The makeup artist worked hard.
-The abusive relationship between Sanwan and R... I just can't. And she is stunning with or without glasses, if he doesn't love her for who she is then goodbye? I like me some bad boys who turn good but it was too much, that plot killed half of my braincells.
-Too many couples, couldn't care less about half of them.
-The sisters' mother is C R A Z Y for setting her own daughter up with someone she HATES for money or whatever that whole deal was about.
-The sisters didn't have a good relationship which breaks my heart because honestly, cheating on your sister with her boyfriend... dude. Dude.
-Ah, the advertisements.
-I don't know, it was too much. Too dramatic. Too... just too.

Things I actually enjoyed:
-Thanks to this show I found out about TayNew and now I'm rooting for them!! Hopefully they'll get married one day lol. Or at least stay close friends! SO SO SO CUTE.
-The friendship between Pete, Kao, Sandee, Tada and June.
-Everyone was very good looking.

Oh well, it took me at least 6 months to watch this drama and I didn't even watch every scene. Don't recommend it at all, except for PeteKao and the friends' scenes.

No seriously, just watch the Pete Kao cut.

I'm a bit of a purist. When I start a series, I like to watch the whole thing. I watched _Kiss_ and really liked it, despite some of its drawbacks. The plot dragged at times but at its heart, it was a simple story about two sisters with interesting conflicts and a solid cast of characters.

Then we get to _Kiss Me Again_ and oh man, people weren't kidding when they said to just skip the "straight drama." Now look -- I'm all for giving straight people their rights. Normally if there's a BL side couple in a show, I'm not one of the people who sill skip the straight drama. But oh man. The San-sisters need a lot of help.

This is one of those shows that follows many different storylines. In this case, each of Sandee's sisters (with the exception of Sanrak, whose story was told in _Kiss_) get a storyline, and then there's one for Pete/Kao. The sisters' stories are all varying degrees of chaotic and messy.

Sansuay is annoying and her storyline was the first I gave up on, simply out of boredom. I actually can't even remember what happened with her, I just remember her being a brat lol.

Sanson is terrible. She's a Y Girl who is so obsessed with gay men that she basically stalks a friend of hers who she thinks is gay, totally intrudes on his life and messes things up for him and his friend, then they FALL IN LOVE because I guess that's what you do after someone stalks you, asks invasive questions about your sexuality, and outs you to your mom when you're not even gay?!?!!?!?! Girls who treat gay men like their own personal toys are one of the worst tropes that I see all the time on GMMTV. Sanson might be the worst of those kinds of girls.

Then there's Sanwan. Sanwan is the only one of this season's main sisters who I actually liked. But that just made me more mad when her storyline was so absurd and did her so dirty. Essentially, her main love interest is toxic and my girl KNOWS THAT but EVERYONE IN HER LIFE gaslights her and pushes her toward him -- including Sandee, by the way. Completely inconsistent with her character. Sandee would NEVER let one of her sisters be involved with a guy who treats her like that! -- but anyway, the toxic guy ends up being "redeemed" after he saves her from a more toxic guy and has a change of heart. I stuck with Sanwan's story the longest because I liked her character a lot, but her storyline was so painful that I gave up on it too.

AND THEN there's Pete and Kao. It's bizarre to me that this storyline is part of the same show. In my opinion, this is the best Pete / Kao storyline we get. They're fine in _Kiss_ but their story is very much a side plot. I don't like Pete in DBK. He's bratty and petty and nothing like he is in the other shows. But Pete and Kao's story in Kiss Me Again is really good. Apparently GMMTV agrees with me because they took this show off of YouTube and only left the Pete Kao cut up lol.

[ may contain spoiler ]

so i watched kiss me the series after watching dark blue kiss because i love petekao and their gang chemistry. they're so much fun to watch hence why i was interested to watch kiss me again. but i feel like i wasted my time watching this because it's so bad.

1) sansuay x so
I don't have much complaint about this couple aside from so's stiff acting. the girl playing sansuay is pretty good but they lack chemistry together. their storyline is boring, nothing interesting to watch. but overall I don't hate them.

2) sanwar x r
i feel like their storyline is basically romanticising rape lol. how many times did sanwar almost get raped, either by R himself, or by the other bad guy. sanwar's character is too weak it's annoying. acting wise they're pretty good. but I don't like their characters, r is a pushy guy and a sexual harasser. I also hate how they try to make sinee the bad girl. like come on any girl in sinee's shoes would be mad if their boyfriend is being matched with another girl.

3) sanson x matt
i hate this couple the most. sanson's character is the most toxic in this whole series. she stalked him, outed him without his consent, tried to seduce him to prove people that he's gay, and also paid three girls to sexually harrass him to see if he's gay or not? what the hell how is that okay?? and to think that the end game is sansonxmatt.... sounds toxic to me. the guy playing matt is a decent actor, sanson is pretty but she needs to improve her acting.

4) sun x mork
their acting was okay here, but they improved so much in dbk, that's good. nothing much to say since they only breathed towards the end of the series.

5) pete x kao
honestly if it wasn't for them i would've given this series a 1 rating lol. they're cute especially towards the end of the series. their fighting scenes need improvements, but overall they're decent. storyline wise it's pretty cliché, and mint is annoying as fuck. but im not mad at them.

Okay everyone I'll be honest on my review regarding this series.

STORY/PLOT:
Thailand Entertainment Industry spicifically the filming Industry as what I have observed was so fond of producing series with this kind of genre. A series which contains not just one love s tory but of multiple stories, like the ever popular Hormones, Room Alone, Together With Me, Bad Romance and many more. And one thing that I've observed as well is that everytime a series like this was produced there's always a BL part or story which I loved the most. As what I have said, I'll be honest in this review of mine. Actually I haven't finished watching all 14 episodes. The 14th episode don't have english subtitles yeta and I'm still waiting for it. And I'm still on Episode 9. But....I've already finished the BL part. I watched those part where Kao and Pete are present because I'm an honest BL supporter, Well I am not new to thiis kind of genre bacause as what I have said there were similar series produced before this. What I like about this series is the fact that all female leads where sisters and that there names starts with SAN... I found it interesting. I like the story as well aside from the BL part, the stories that I liked were the stories of R and Sanwan because I know them a long time ago since Hormones. :-)

ACTING/CAST:
I don't have any issues regardingh their acting skills in this series given the fact that most of them already appeared in so many series and films that I became so used of them regarding of what role they played. The chemistry between and Kao and Pete is totally insane though. I'll ship for them.

MUSIC:
I look forward on the stories in this series so I did not gave a damn attention to the music. Sorry for that.

REWATCH VALUE:
I keep on watching it from time to time especially the Pete and Kao scenes.

OVERALL:
Actually before I decided to watch this series I keep on debating if I should watch it first or Kiss: The Series first before this. But since the prequel was Kiss Me Again and the sequel story was Kiss:The Series I end up watching it though it was the latest series. I will be watching Kiss:The Series after I finished watching this sreies.

I really like the serie, the cast is perfect their acting was good and the story was sort of different from other series. The only thing that was bothering me is the fact that Sanson wanted Matt to be gay and tried everything to prove it but Matt should do it by himself. And of course Kao and Pete were my favorite couple because I sort of came here because I love BL but after the serie ended I just liked every couple in their own way. I have The official ost also in my Spotify playlist so everytime that song comes up I always sing and that song makes me so happy and every single time I hear it it makes me remember this perfect serie.

Cattiness at its best !!!!

Okay, my review of this drama will only be about the BL part. I did not bother watching it for the other couples-(too many and some were annoying), so please keep in mind that it will only reflect some aspect of the drama. I'm sure that the other couples' stories were interesting (not to me), especially the 4 women, from the living quarters, for the me the only woman who possibly had her head screwed on straight and was way more interesting to watch was the nerdy girl!!!

I definitely liked the way Pete and Kao's relationship evolves. It's the typical "I hate you to then I like you" story line, but it was nice to see. Pete's cockiness and his bad boy attitude wanted me to punch him at times, but he made it up with the way he would look at Kao, not realizing that he was falling for him.

She was a bit needy and manipulative.

How did I forget about June...he's funny, and sandee and thanda were also sweet and cute, the other main couples sun/monk/rain were a bit overdone or under stated.

I did however watch 2gether before this, so it was nice to see how everything began.

It’s Okay.

Most of Sandee and Sanrak’s sisters bugged me in the beginning, especially Sanson when she was trying to figure out P’Matt’s sexuality. At first I didn’t want the two of them to become a pair but she turned just a little likeable (though I still didn’t really like her character). I think my favourite minor character was P’Pat. Yes, my heart hurt so bad during his confession but I’m seriously happy they didn’t leave him a rejected gay mess and added a random love interest, P’Rit. They did my boy some justice!
Sansuay and So’s storyline was okay. Cliche, we can all admit, but it was cute. I didn’t like Sansuay’s character at all either at the start, she seemed too narcissistic for my taste, but she gradually became better.
I like how Sanwan and R’s story went. I found it hard to watch because P’R’s actor also plays as Anan in The Stranded on Netflix and I seriously hate him. But I’m super impressed that he became likeable in Kiss Me Again. The actor can make you hate and like him at the same time in different series, which is seriously impressive. This couple was cute.
Now, I’ll say this, PeteKao was the main reason I started the Kiss series but I also stayed for side couples like SunMork and DeeDa. I like how they became to be in here. One of my favourite BL couples of all time.
In general, some pros and cons about watching Kiss Me Again. I had to bare through some scenes, but I’m not so disappointed on what I got. I just needed to know the plot for most of the series. What would have been really cool and funny to see was at least ONE lesbian sister. Gosh, I would’ve lived for that.

This is one class better than the previous 'Kiss' series, meaning it's still 0.5 lower than average.

"Music" is EXTREMELY repetitive, pieces of it going on and on in loops, without it being suited to given scenes. Editing is choppy. Casting is questionable, though not so much as in the first season. Any "romance" there is here is kind of lukewarm...

I know people would ship Phit & Kao, but honestly their scenes are nothing special (there's still 'Dark Blue Kiss', perhaps it shall work out on the third attempt), and that's still the best this show has to offer. Fon Sananthachat, whose body looks disturbingly more like a middleschooler's than twenty-something girl's, looks uncomfortable with March Chutavuth more than anything else. Thanaerng Kanyawee doesn't seem attractive or girly enough (she's got her trademark boyish look) to pull Mond Tanutchai's character firmly in straight waters, and as for Pango Jintanutda with Earth Pirapat, they might as well be invisible, and I ended up skipping their scenes entirely.

Despite the show's title, kissing is not something that could be enjoyed here frequently or clearly. What does happen clearly are people smacking each other's mouths, hitting each other's head with a stick, guys trying to rape girls, girls calling other girls at places where they would be raped with them watching, and similar small episodes during the character's broad daylight routines. It all reminds you... Eh, other thai series, or the first 'Kiss' series, where the "romance" was dying in agony for 16 episodes but we did have a clinical psycho there walking among normal people alright.

I'm not even writing a proper romance drama review because this show is neither really a romance, nor a drama.

The sister's relationships weren't as interesting as Sandee & Thada, but PeteKao was

Ahh yes, now we’re talking!
I did love the scenes with TayNew a lot. Tho they could’ve made the series just for Pete & Kao.

The sisters’ story felt a bit misplaced here, but lol nvm. I skipped most of the other stories anyway. At first I thought I’d watch it like in “Kiss: The Series”, but then I became bored pretty quickly. The sisters’ boyfriends are pretty much just like in KTS; toxic jealousy and cliche triangles.

Where was Sandee the whole time tho? She was there at the beginning, but after they got drunk together, she was absent every episode.

Also i would’ve really like to know how Sandee and Sankra end up living with P’Chacha in a different shop. Why did they move?
Ah man, it feels like so much is yet unanswered...
