I've watched the first season and the second season for at least five times each by now. At first I did not want to watch Season 2 because of the casting change but curiosity got the better of me. Mea culpa. :-)
After watching both seasons many times, I have to say that I still prefer Bas as Wayo. While Earth did a good job in the 2nd season, I think that Bas' characterization of Wayo in Season 1 is more believable and endearing. Bas as Wayo has a good combination of innocence and strength which makes his character a good foil for the arrogant P'Pha. I especially loved the piano scene in Season 1 where Wayo was narrating how he became the moon of the science faculty and dedicating the song to P'Pha. Kudos also to the one who made the song arrangement. It was really a heartfelt and touching scene.
Moreover, although Godt (season 1) is more handsome than Ben (season 2) as P'Pha, I have to admit that Ben and Earth (Wayo) have more on-screen chemistry. There were just some scenes in Season 2 that I find Ben's acting to be a bit "dry" (like the facial expressions and bodily actions are not apt to the scene). Maybe it is the acting per se (need more workshops?) or the script (or both?).
Anyway, what I liked in Season 2 is the development of the MingKit couple. Kim's portrayal of the bestfriend Ming in Season 1 is quite on point and honestly quite funny. However, Joong (Ming) and Nine (Kit) in Season 2 appear to be much closer to each other in real life which I think translated to better chemistry for the couple on screen. The banter between MingKit is much more exciting in Season 2, I promise. ;-)
Finally, what I loved most in Season 2 is the actualization of the ForthBeam tandem. While the actors portraying Forth (Tae) and Beam (Tee) in Season 1 are both goodlooking and also good actors, I think I did not see any scene where these two had any relevant dialogue to each other more so not even a hint of a budding romance in Season 1 which is supposedly in preparation for Season 2 (like the MingKit couple). For me, the most talented actor in 2 Moons 2 would have to be Pavel. His portrayal of the character Forth is excellent - tough and simple but sensitive. He more than makes up for the shyness and elegance of Dome's character Beam. Bravo Pavel!
Although I still love Bas as Wayo, there's nothing we can do about the fact that the cast change happened. We can just hope for a much better Season 3 soon. Best of luck to the actors and production team of 2 Moons 3. Can't wait to see the characters back again soon. :-D
