After reading so many negative reviews, I got really scared of watching and avoided this season for months. I watched LBC 1 while it was airing and it was an amazing experience. I truly think it was revolutionary when it comes to Thai BL shows. Therefore, I was super scared this season would ruin my positive opinion about this show. But to be honest, I didn't think it was as bad as people make it out to be.
Let me start off by saying that there were definitely way too many ads (and consequently, many useless scenes) and the whole retelling thing was very weird since it was only done for TinCan and not the other characters.
I think Season 2 tackles many important issues and deals with sensitive topics quite well. It seems like a more mature plot and development of characters and relationships, which was nice.
Also, I noticed Tin was much more... calm? polite? in this season but that wasn't necessarily a bad thing at all. The other characters didn't seem much different from the first season. The characters they added in this season were all good, in my opinion. I loved getting to know Tul and his story, even if it was a love-hate relationship LOL but he's so fine... ugh couldn't they have casted a less angelic person to play his role?? Meen became my new addiction hahaha... please send help.
I like the main couple's chemistry but their kiss scenes were deplorable. I skipped most of them because it was awkward to watch. But surprisingly, there were other intimate moments apart from the kiss scenes that I really enjoyed! The "boyfriends being supportive" scenes were really well done. I don't think they're awkward with each other all that much.
I really enjoy Mean as an actor but sometimes I felt he was being way too seductive all the time haha but that's probably the directing and screen writing's fault. Plan is just... so bad... I'm so sorry to say this and no hate towards him but I don't see him as an actor AT ALL. So awkward... I feel like other actors have improved from season 1 but he just stayed bad. His character is already cringy and immature as it is but his acting just made it unpleasant to watch in most scenes, specially when Can was upset or crying. But I did like his acting when Can would stand up for Tin.
I saw many comments complaining about Ae's "useless" appearances but they were some of my favourite parts of the show. I even liked Ae's desperate scenes!! Perth is as amazing actor so I felt every emotion he was feeling. I feel like as I was watching LBC1 I took him and Saint for granted after the first two thirds of the show and was more interested in the other couples. But this season made me realise how important they were to the story and the universe of LBC. Their chemistry and acting are unbeatable.I love AePete so much hahaha my heart was broken yet warm throughout the season.
I liked the new songs! They reminded me a lot of season 1's ost but were different so that was nice.

Now, I will get into some SPOILERS!! SKIP THIS IF YOU DON'T LIKE SPOILERS.
Lots of things about the plot were confusing (Tum and Tar's relationship????what happened???move on????why????). But I liked Tum's friend! He was cute and nice LOL. And then Techno and Kengkla didn't have the screen time they should have had to make their relationship believable. I can accept the fact that P'No forgave Kengkla (it's his choice after all) but their scenes were too vague for me. What I wasn't expecting to enjoy as much as I did was Tul and Hin's story! I was invested until the end. I really liked the beach scene in the last episode with the three of them hugging. However, I wish Tin and Tul had talked things out in a serious conversation and officially made up and screamed at each other and then hugged or came to a more concrete conclusion but oh well, I guess I can never have everything.
P.S: I don't mind Saint not being in it all that much because AePete's story was closed in a satisfying way. And I understand Saint's situation ):



Summing up, I was glad I went into it with very low expectations because I ended up liking it more than I probably would have had had I watched it thinking it would be a perfect sequel. It wasn't but I had fun and discovered new characters and actors. I wish there was a season 3!
