You can skip first 6 episodes of season 2 and you're at the same spot where the season 1 left off
Epi 1: Can't believe I ever said about Can that he's plain... He is SO cute:)) On the other hand, Ae somehow doesn't look hot anymore, Phit disappeared (no loss there), and of course the resident beau Tin still reigns undefeated. That's right: I decided to call the characters by their names in second season:) I think they all proved in previous season already and the audience watching are people who know the characters already, hardly someone who haven't seen the first season.
Now. I know we were left with some unresolved things between Can & Tin in s1, which I expect them to slowly work on these new 13 episodes... Instead, there is a scene that comes in first 5 minutes of runtime and they are already in each other's arms? I didn't get why was Can crying so hard in the first place. Seriously, who keeps writing script like this? There are some side-characters I kept skipping in s1, so I don't really know who they are, except that they call themselves 'Techno' (PLEASE... I'd take any thai name), I know Pond only (but Cha-am is no longer by his side... or she got re-cast by someone chubbier:) There is also this weird thing that Tin & Can introduce themselves to each other again: some kind of restart (but only for the 2 of them). Someone obviously doesn't get that when I'm looking forward continuation of something, I am looking for it actually CONTINUE, else I would just order more episodes of '2Wish'. But I guess this will sort itself with time, never mind if their story has double start, we'll see how it will go. It's still better than Ae, who clearly is not to have ANY more story. He won't enter new romance with some new dude, he'll just whine after the one who disappeared for the whole season. But I found this comment by PoetryInMotion about Can:
"Can is iconic. Literally the only things on his mind are food and his boyfriend's d*ck. Like, I aspire to that level of carefree living. Teach me your ways. At the same time, he's genuinely a good person, a good friend, a great supportive boyfriend, and I love his relationship with his sister. Also, I can't help but respect a character who is so smol yet so ready to fight. I absolutely love the dude."
And so! Can is still Can, I think I STILL have enough to look foward to. So I'll keep watching;)
Epi 2: Can & Tin's early interactions are silly. It was like that in season 1, too. Obviously we need to wait till they know each other a little (again). Again, we watch their "first" kiss, too. And while I agree that needed to be remade, sadly this is no better than the first attempt. I do remember there was a good kiss in first season later, though. Hopefully, second season shall also come up with better later kisses. So far this remake of a second season repeats what was not so good in first season, let's hope it would repeat what was good, too.
Epi 3-4: It's annoying to watch Can & Tin establishing laboriously that they actually DO want to spend time together. Again. When all the while I'm waiting for them to get where they were already, and their story to continue. I liked it when they both already developed some feelings and then those were forcing them to face the relationship, too. This stage, it's morelike Tin is still forcing Can to do this and that, lol. He took a liking in the simple & innocent Can despite the rocky start and goes after him rather aggressively. Yeah, we already watched that in season 1.
Some scenes are practically identical to their "first story". Tin shares something sad about his childhood. Then says he was just making it up when Can expresses compassion, etc. It's the same only different details. Well, never mind. While these scenes are not better than the season 1 ones, there are not worse. I just hope that with practically the same number of episodes, season 2 won't end at the same stage as season 1 did, and we get at least tiny step further.
As for the other characters I skipped the whole previous season, I believe it's best I'll stick with it and continue to skip them this season, too. Plus, I'll start skipping Ae.
Aand... :Looks like I don't have to worry this season won't get any step further. Because the second kiss Tin & Can, which was episode 12 in season 1, is in episode 4. So this won't be an identical re-telling, rather some faster refresh:) Either way, I think that kiss was maybe tiny bit better in previous season. I have strong feeling the cast is straight as they looked like in pain doing this;)
Tin continues in anxious pursuit of Can: now even more ridiculous in concentrated form. It's like these two HAVE TO start dating for the sake of it. Probably because fans wanted it:) To be fair, the season 1 relationship forming seemed artificial and sudden, too. Like I mentioned, I'm looking forward to their more developed stages. Hopefully we'll soon reach the place where we last left off.
Epi 5: It's getting better. Still something already watched, but more enjoyable stage. This couple (by now I practically watch them only, I skip all the other stuff) does wonders. They both fit each other perfectly both as cast and characters. I understand why people ship them together. I do, too:) Some scenes are awkward, but let's see how we'll go. There might be something better waiting for us more than in season 1:)
Epi 6: Same like first season, it's never even considered that Can might NOT be gay. With Tin coming on him rather strong, he sometimes says things like what if I don't want to be kissed this early? Etc. But what if Can liked girls? Tin like never stops to ask himself such question. He's quite big in compare to Can so it might look at first glance he's molesting poor Can:) Good that Can is the type to shout he'll punch someone in the face every now and then.
The awkward motif with Tin buying stuff for Can and Can letting himself to be kissed "in return" is repeated, too. So I was looking forward when this "courtship" stage is over... Then it was there: end of epi 6/beginning epi 7, Tin & Can have approx. same conversation like they had the last (14th) episode of season 1. Only now Can says he "doesn't want to be like Ae"... (meaning the unwatchable "new Ae" from second season). Maybe I still think that conversation was more interesting the first time. Never mind. Anyways it can now be clearly said to watch the rest of this story, you can skip first 6 episodes of season 2 and you're at the same spot where the season 1 left off.
Basically, after watching 40 minutes of episode 7, I got what I was looking forward since season 1 ended:) The two are almost too adorable together... And I noticed that right from the beginning:) Though I might like to watch a bit of the prolonged angst before they are ultimately together, there's no time for it now because we watched their re-telling from the start, instead. I can now say watching Tin & Can beginning was sufficient in season 1, they didn't need to repeat it. If anything I found it more enjoyable in the 1st season, as there was also the Ae & Phit couple still together (they DID have good kiss scenes & bed scenes) while here there's nothing else than Tin & Can to watch.
Epi 8: Okay just when I thought we're finally behind the awkward part, Can starts speaking about sex LOL. There is a bed scene and I was afraid whether it's going to be bad (skinship was not THIS couple's strong suit). Instead, we don't get to see ANYTHING. Well, better than bad, but...!:) Then there's another kiss that is also bad... It's like the only flaw of this couple, lol.
Epi 9: Can's facial expressions couldn't be cuter even if he was an anime character. Nevertheless, this couple's cuteness works only with clothes on, lol (even only a quick flashback of the "bed scene" looks painful). Mean Phiravich actually cannot act at all (his s1 bathroom scene or his s2 family scenes are the worst) but he's so attractive it was never a noticeable problem, lol.
10: The relationship is cute, nevertheless the "bed scenes" or "like a bedscene"s are painful to watch. Maybe the camera should mercifully turn away (it soon does, anyways... in reality there isn't much to watch). Anyways the new plot device seems to be Tin's brother. There are 2 directions this can go: what can the "evil" brother do? He'll try to harm Can, or steal Can for himself? No, so far he settles for talking ill about Tin, or sending Can some nasty videos. Can punches him only as last resort (I would rather enjoyed if he'd really done it 1st thing on their 1st meeting:) and only very mildly (even a woman was able to stop him:) Either way Tin had to know bringing Can to his home would bring his brother's attention to him. He knew he'll start targetting him. So it could be said the "evil" brother only did the obliging. Now, is he really going to do something evil with Can, or just reveal that Tin now has someone who loves him?
Episode 11 should bring an answer to this question. Now, we're shown the "evil" brother did everything on a purpose, and is now calmly watching Can telling to Tin's father how much injustice was done to Tin by him. Is this some form of an atonement for the "evil" brother? Also the father of both the brothers sure does see things from more than one perspective. And does need to do some anonement of his own... An emotional, turning point scene is happening in Tin's household, though apparently quicker than Can is able to understand it, LOL. Nevertheless, with his purity, he served as a catalyst and Tin gratefully hugs him.
Epi 12: In the end, besides Tin & Can, we now have also Tin's brother & his boyf as the second couple to root for, lol. There's one more Tin & Can brief kiss/bed scene, not really enjoyable but hell, I'm already used to that with these two. Tin's brother is here to provide us better in this department:)
13: We have the ending for both the series... Tin&Can tried for a bedscene that would be at least bit less off-putting. Okay... let's lay off these two boys, finally. They tried the best they could. There's also a scene with Ae filming embarassing video showing him still in quite a state. I wasn't really moved by this scene because I say people either move on, OR even separation is not a problem that could not be solved eventually. But to make us watch something pitiful for 13 episodes just because the actor was unavailable is way more "tragic" lol.
