I watched 2 Moons and 2 Moons 2. I was extremely disappointed. So at first I decided not to watch this one. But then I was like, what's the worse that can happen, right? At least I can say I finished the set. But I was in for a pleasant surprise! First and foremost, do not believe the synopsis. It's completely misleading. Yo's story is just a passing mention when Pha tells Lom about it. Suthee is not there. None of the previous characters are in major roles. This story belongs completely to Lom and Tatch. And what a story!
Let me be really clear here. 2 Moons was sort of okay. 2 Moons 2 was a disaster. But The Ambassador was really well done. It had a 'Enemies to Lovers' trope. Pretty done to death, but gave me a seriously nice feel. Something like 'Why R U?'. Let me get into the story.
Lom loses the University Moon contest and that's when Tatch walks into his life. Suffering from something like a victim's complex, and hating Tatch were for turning up late to the university and not being in time for the selection process of the Moons. And so for the next contest, he guilt trips Tatch into participating. But Tatch is clear, the game has to be fair and square. Then starts the war between them. A bit of a backstory here. So Tatch had seen Lom at the consolation part that his friends threw for him after he lost the Moons. Knowing that he has a crush on Manfah, Tatch does anything and everything he can to get Lom's attention. Slowly finding himself more and more attracted to Tatch than he thought, Lom is wonderfully surprised when Tatch confesses, thus starting a beautiful love story.
What I found most interesting in the series was the level of communication Lom and Tatch have. They don't tend to prolong their problems and talk stuff out. Lom trusts Tatch completely and doesn't believe anything anyone says about him, which is fairly surprising in itself, especially in Thai BLs. Usually, we see constant miscommunication and misunderstandings galore, but Lom and Tatch are so into each other, and so much trust, that it seems almost unbelievable at times. Tatch makes no bones about his liking of Lom, and once they start dating, can't seem to keep their hands (or lips) off each other. They are constantly showing their affection, and serious PDA. It is not like one sad dead fish kiss and one sadly disoriented NC. Instead we get extremely cute and hot kisses and seriously well fleshed out NCs, which actually look like love making scenes (the expressions on their face is so natural and damn sexy!!). Damn! Maybe I should go back and watch.
As for the remaining couples, the lesser said, the better, except maybe for Forth and Beam, who seem to have maintained their sex appeal in all three versions of this series.
So all in all, I would recommend a one time watch, at least watch Bandit and Mark. They are just too cute and spectacular together. And the height difference is so NARAK!!
As long as you can ignore the sorry messes of the three returning couples and how after so many years together, they don't have the understanding that the new couple has, then feel free to watch this show just for Lom and Tatch!
