I love 2 Moons because of how true to the novel it was, but I love 2 Moons 2 because of... well, everything! I love the acting, the way they incorporated some storylines from all three books to give us more than just P'Pha and Wayo's story, and I absolutely ADORE the side couples~ It took me a minute to warm up to them because of how much I loved Ming and P'Kit from 2 Moons, but I feel like Joong and Nine fit the roles waaaaaay better. I even think Pavel and Dome are a better P'Fourth and P'Beam.
In conclusion, I love both version for different reasons. I think the best way to go about this is to watch both versions, giving them equal chances, and compare them when you're finished, but accept their differences. Just because one version is better for one thing doesn't mean the other version sucks because it didn't have that thing.
Also, just a thought: is it just me, or are the people who read the books the one who generally don't like this version? It doesn't show a lot of the best scenes in the first book, so I understand their qualms, but I was wondering if anyone else noticed that too~

As you've probably figured out by now, I'm absolutely in love with the new cast, and I'm still Pavel obsessed XD
This show is so cheesy but in the right way.
I love all the three couples and their chemistry is so amazing which means the actors and the director made us truly believe in their love so even if the story overall was a bit flimsy it was the perfect guilty pleasure escape.
Ming Kit omg Joong is so BEAUTIFUL I can't get enough of him and even though he's the youngest he's confident and loud like Pavel, and Nine I think he's really good at portraying emotional range.
And Earth and Ben again, their chemistry will give you goosebumps.
But I have to say Pavel and Dome were so good together!
Sigh.
I hope next installment they work on the script and the story.
Can't wait for the next season

The acting (minus Phana's actor) was so much better in the first. I feel so bad. I tried SO HARD to like this new one. I kept telling my friends to watch it and give it a chance. But the acting felt flat. Phana's actor was better than the first but Wayo, Ming, Kit, and Beam were lacking. Forth's actor was by far the most believable, and his couple had the most chemistry. Chemistry is what lacked A LOT in this series compared to the previous. I was almost bored my certain scenes. The pacing was also very fast, and it lacked a lot of memorable scenes that were replaced with Wayo and his stereotype fairy gang. I know they played a huge plot in the book, but they rewrote a lot already. Why not tone them down?
But it was enjoyable and overall a decent remake. It just doesn't quite have good rewatch value.

Do not think twice, watch it immediately. It'll be the best decision you will make for a BL series.
After getting through the hesitation of watching the 2nd season because of the change of actor, I think, I made a good decision in pushing through. I think I like better Yo, Ming, Pha's actor here especially Yo's actor, I think he is best suited for that twinky -hopeless-romantic-loverboy type. Bas is cute and all, but Earth's performance shows that he is more suited. I think actors from the first season are quite bland and blank in terms of acting, quite poker-face actually. Of course, they would have a special place in my gay heart because it wasn't for them, I would have not encountered season 2 actors and for that, I am eternally grateful. Khob khun khrap.I also like how thoughtful whoever's in charge of this production because they have recapped the entire season 1 in the first 4 episodes so that the viewers will get used to the new actors playing the roles. I think if they went in immediately with season 2, watching will be awkward and meh. So Khob khun khrap to the in charge. That was quite a smart move actually. For me, I learned to appreciate and love all the same all he new actors because of the recap and I am now ready and excited to watch the rest of the season because the new actors' presence have kicked in already in me.
Also, I have to mention, baby Earth Teerapat awfully looks like Saint Suppapong's shorter twin. Such an adorable boy just like Saint himself.

2moons2 The Series
2moons2 was among some of the first few series I watched when I first came across the BL genre. I actually watched this before I found out about 2moons, so I saw this cast playing the characters first.I really liked this series. Granted it wasn’t the most original storyline but I still enjoyed it for what it was.
Phana & Wayo:
I enjoyed their interactions for the most part, but did get a bit annoyed with the lack of communication between them at times. They did have some really sweet moments though.
Ming & Kit:
I absolutely adored these two, for some reason they stole my heart and ended being my favourite pairing of the show.
I don’t know what it was but I really liked their chemistry & their scenes together felt very natural.
Forth & Beam:
These two confused me a little at first, as they were both pining after other people, but when I re watched the series their pairing made more sense. They both wanted people they couldn’t have and found comfort in each other. I did feel like their feelings for each other afterwards though were a bit rushed but again I still enjoyed watching them.
Overall I enjoyed this series, but do wish we could’ve seen a bit more development of the couples. Hopefully we’ll see that in 2moons3.
I am sad that Earth won’t be a part of 2moons3, but I can totally understand his situation & reasons, and wish him all the best for the future.
I am just hoping they don’t completely scrap the rest of the cast and bring in a load of new people again, but I’ll guess we will have to wait & see.

Definitely worth watching!
2Moons was great, the actors were all very handsome and I loved the acting! Plus the OST was incredibly good for 2Moons and I’m a sucker for good music! So I didn’t think 2Moons2 was going to be worth it seeing as I loved basically everything about the first one, and after seeing that 2Moons2 was a remake, not a sequel, I was disappointed and was pouty because I didn’t like the new actors.However, I finally watched it, expecting it to be 2Moons with the same lines and pace but different actors.
I was completely wrong.
The actors were amazing and I grew to love them even more than I did the actors from 2Moons. They felt like they had more chemistry than the original actors and they all looked so cute together I couldn’t stay upset with the cast change very long before I was dreamily sighing and fangirling at their every word.
I would say that out of the two, 2Moons2 is my favorite and one I would, and have, recommend to people.
Regarding the OST. I rated it kinda low because, and I know I shouldn’t say it, compared to 2Moons I couldn’t see the variety in songs. I know 2Moons didn’t exactly have an extensive OST, I can still sing and do the hand motions to 1 2 3 4 5 i love you, but it was more so than 2Moons2 in my opinion. However, I don’t think anyone should not watch it simply because the OST wasn’t great in my opinion, or even in your own. The OST is important, but not a deal breaker.
The story for the first few episodes is largely just a fast pace recap of 2Moons, it gives enough detail in my opinion so that if you’ve never watched 2Moons you could watch 2Moons2 and still get what happened. However, during this recap the acting was good, but you don’t get the same feel as you did in 2Moons, they don’t feel too connected and you can definitely feel that it’s rushing to tell the summary of what happened so they can just move on. When it does pass the recap phase though, the acting and the chemistry are 100x better.
In the end, if you’re reading this review, debating if you should watch 2Moons2 either because you’ve watched 2Moons and want to watch 2Moons3 when it releases or you would rather not watch 2Moons and just watch 2Moons2, I’d say go for it. It’s worth watching at least once. The acting is amazing, the story goes further than it did in 2Moons, and the actors will grow on you with time.
Just give it a chance because you might be like me and absolutely fall in love with it!

A nice remake with an interesting cast.
This is a pretty enjoyable remake of the original 2 Moons. I am glad they condensed the story of the first season into the first 4 episodes, so that the rest of the episodes still felt fresh.Not gonna lie, I think the lead couple here is very meh. I think the actor who plays Wayo really cannot act because his crying is atrocious, his "aegyo" is cringe and he is generally very stiff. This actor is also the lead in My Secret Love and he is better in that. The actor who plays P'Pha is also very bland, and really plays the character very monotonously. I thought their chemistry was extremely lacking and their scenes just felt like a drag. The original Wayo and P'Pha were way better, imo.
On the other hand, the second and third couples are very cute and enjoyable. My fave couple was Ming x Kit, which was a great enemies-to-lovers story. Their chemistry had spark and their vibe was very fun and engaging. I loved seeing how these two got together. Also, the actor who plays Ming is absolutely gorgeous!
The Beam x Forth couple is also cute. I love how they start out as friends and sort of build an attraction over time. I got through this show by skipping all the scenes featuring the main CP after the first few episodes and just watched for the other 2 couples!

At first, I was kind of affraid and scared because they just...changed the actors. It was strange but I tried to give a chance to this series because the first season was super gooood,so I watch it over.
But I was I was pleasantly disappointed, but after the second episode I was super hyped up and omg!
I started to love the series, about everything.
I was super duper excited every next episodes...but waaaa that 1 week was so long, while I waited for the caption to be available. BUT it's worth it. muhaha
Also, what I like about this series is they make storyline, and those epic moment what everyone know who have seen the series uwu
It's super way to make a remake and not wasting your old viewer time. And at the same time, the new viewer can also follow the storyline and they are not lost and they not getting confused during the scenes.
Last but not least, I'm just so happy that I gave this series a chance BUT NOW I JUST- I can't wait for the next season!! OMGG.
Anyway..agh I just can hope they won't change the casts anymore, i really like the way they act as the roles, and I love these new ships uwu :3
And at the last thing is what I want to say I just want to say thank you for the directors and to the cast and to the stuff, thank you for working hard <3

Though, it took me some time to like the acting (not the actors, I love them). But once you get over the acting, the serie is amazing.
Something I must say I really love about this serie, is the actors chemistry in real life. They are all super funny, kind and lovely. You can see in the serie that their friendship is more than just their friendship on the screen.

my favorite 2 moon. I love the actor they had for Pha. Also loved seeing a little baby Pavel. however where they lost me was Kit's personality and I also got annoyed at ming because the whole time i just kept thinking "he's cussing you out and saying VERY LOUDLY that he doesn't like you and keep going? have you no shame?" so there's that.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
