Pas convaincue
Je n'ai pas du tout été convaincue par ce double épisode spécial. Le passage au fantastique m'a paru être une mauvaise idée. Alors je sais bien que les épisodes des Our Skyy sont plutôt des clins d'oeil destinés aux fans, finalement un peu comme des fanfictions visuelles, mais cette histoire m'a laissée de marbre. Et au contraire, j'aurais aimé en savoir plus sur le devenir de PalmNuengdiao au lieu d'avoir cette histoire sortie un peu de nulle part. Décevant.J'ai néanmoins préféré ce Palm/Pond plus souriant et adorable.

Deze recentie kan spoilers bevatten
My review for each section of this series is based on the following criteria: - Did it add anything to the original series
- Was there either an absence, advance, or regression of character/couple development
- Was the story concept interesting
- Script quality
I placed spoilers at the end of this review.
I was not a fan of Never Let Me Go but I enjoyed this section. It’s not a new story concept, but it was an interesting one. The script is not perfect, but it was definitely better than the main series. See the spoiler alert at the end of this review if you want more information. It didn’t add much to the main storyline, but this was a good thing for this section. The cast did a great job with their characters. However, there was not much character/couple development. The ending was very similar to an episode of Our Skyy. See the spoiler alert at the end of this review if you want more information. The one thing that is consistent with the main series was the poor/weird background music choices. The cinematograph was good with a few minor exceptions.
Random Note:
It was nice to see Pawin (Petch/Phum) and Marc (Kla/Kan) paired up again. They were the main leads in the BL series My Gear and Your Gown (2020) which is very underrated.
******Spoiler Alert******
Although it did not match the original series concept, I get why they used the time travel aspect. This allowed them to do the role reversals. I also appreciate they wanted to make this interesting.
The ending instantly reminded me of how Our Skyy, Episode 5 (Characters Arthit & Kongpob from SOTOS/SOTUS S) ended.

Better than the series, but still not good.
It's not the first Our Skyy that I have watched bcs I didn't follow the episodes airing, I'm just following the series as I watch them.I already did a review of NLMG and my note was 3. I'm not reviewing it as a new part of NLMG but as a special. For a special, this was kinda... funny? I laughed a bit and the story was so... camp. That's why looks better compared to NLMG. But I not really liked the plot, tho. It was... well FOR WHAT?
With the amount of drama in the main series, the special could be more bright, I guess. But it's cool for people who liked the series since here they were so more lovey-dovey. And that's another problem for me, LOL. It doesn't look real, yk? They were being sweet and it was kinda... embarrassing? To watch. It looked really fake. I didn't buy it.
Pond and Phuwin have chemistry, although they are not good actors, they have. But here, I was ? well, WHERE THE CHEMISTRY GO?
Well, it's not good at all, but anything it's better than NLMG. And for a special, is what the fans wanted I guess.
Overall, compared with the other episodes of Our Skyy, it's decent.

Never Let the Ridiculousness Go
The scriptwriters of Never Let Me Go are not good, but at least they are self-aware. Recognizing how ridiculous the series' plot is, they decided to embrace this ridiculousness. The result is a surprisingly funny combination of historical fantasy and the fated soulmates trope. It is as full of plot holes and convenient coincidences as Never Let Me Go, but it manages to be entertaining because neither Pond nor Phuwin, nor the other actors take themselves and each other seriously. If you enjoyed watching the series despite its many drawbacks, you will like these two episodes too. Just keep it in mind that Ben and Chopper do not make an appearance.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
