Our Skyy 2 (2023)

Not what I expected, but I'm still satisfied to see my favourite couples here!

Nueng and Palm.
I missed them so much! 2 hours with one of my favourite couples flew by in a blink of an eye, which means that the story was interesting and I enjoyed it! I want to emphasize my love for their outfits! Palm looks drop-dead gorgeous in those vintage aloha shirts! Nuengdiao’s style is ravishing, he looks exactly like a future composer!
Palm’s character development is so obvious. He is not as modest and shy as he used to be. He runs his own restaurant, stands steadily on his feet, I’m so proud! He became so flirty, haha, the self-confidence boost is apparent, I like it. He is not afraid of trying new things in life!
Plot was engrossing. Considering that these were just special episodes, they were well-thought-out! I liked side couples courage to make moves on each other, although same sex love was forbidden back then. The idea of switching roles of Palm and Nueng is also absorbing, and I went through so many flashbacks when Palm invitied Nueng to have breakfast with him.
Thank you for this short, fluffy fantasy!

Dao and Kluen.
No matter how many times I try to feel something for this couple, I never succeed. I couldn’t find passion between the actors, Dao’s acting isn’t convincing enough, his emotions, smiles and sadness are nothing but a forgery for me. I understand, that those are just special episodes, but we deserve some plot, don’t we? I get it, that they’re a couple, but don’t you think that they are acting lovey-dovey all the time, and that’s too much…I love the feeling of excitement when a couple confess their love for each other, hold each others hands, kiss and so on…But there is just too much of it, that’s boring.
Why did they ask their friends to tag along if they planned to split up or shoo them away, because they wanted to stay alone..Also there were hints on NaySean (“You care about me?’’, some glances they exchanged). Honestly, when I saw Satang and Winny in the same drama I thought that they would make a match here as well, but all I got is some hints at the end of the last episode.
I forgot to mention how handsome Satang is. I like his black hair. Stunning!
The only thing I liked about those episodes is when they started talking in english so unexpectedly. I got shivers all over my body when Kluen asked If he could kiss Dao. Thai-accented English is a new fetish for me, I guess.
I loved the fact that Dao trusts Kluen. When he told his friends that he didn’t have any reason to doubt Kluen’s feelings he reminded me of Fiat from “Don’t say no”. Actually, that is not the only similarity between those characters (my opinion).
My conclusion is that this couple is just cringey for me.

Ayan and Akk
Ayan and Akk, Khao and First, Shortstop and Big Foot..I can’t put my feelings in words, they are not enough. I love them, I swear. The best thing I like about them is that they don’t need to tell each other “I love you” every day. Actually, they do, but they have so many alternative ways to say it. “You are my space where I feel comfortable to be in”. “Can you hug me? I love hugging you”. “Thank you for not letting go of my hand”. HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW DEEP AYAN’S VOICE IS? Ok, won’t get distracted…I SQUEAL EVERY TIME WHEN AKK KISSES AYAN’S FACE: HIS FORHEAD, CHEEKS, NOSE, JAW, LIPS…This drama is so special to me, I have lots to say, my words aren’t enough…When Akk asked Ayan “Tell me you love me once more”…I promise, I cried, I couldn’t hold. The tension and chemistry between them is just undescribable. HAVE YOU NOTICED HOW THEY SMILE WHILE KISSING? I WAS SQUIRMING LIKE BONKERS.
These two episodes show us what hardships we face in a relationship and how we can solve them. There’s a thin line between caring for others and saving yourself for YOURSELF. All we need is harmony.
I’m so glad to see that the episodes were not about Ayan and Akk only. Thua and Kan…I still can’t understand how they forgave Thua as if nothing had happened. I didn’t write about this in my review for the prequel, but I still don’t understand Thua. It was so selfish of him…He was the one who had to understand Ayan and Akk the most, but he was just..careless..Btw, I’m happy to see them so drunk in love.
Romance between a teacher and a student is soooooooooo exciting, I pampered a hope that Sani and Wat would be a thing, haha.
I am grateful for a chance to see my favourite couple together once more. Absolutely loved this!
Puen and Talay
I burst out laughting so hard! Two Papas taking care of their little son! CUTENESS OVERLOAD AS ALWAYS. Even after 5 years they were fooling around, supporting and loving each other just the same. I was so thrilled when Talay, while wiping Puen’s face, reminisced about his first time doing it. I am so in love with their love story, it is so unique. I don’t even know what to say…I love the way they love each other, respect each others personal space: “We might focus less on our love one day, but I’ll understand you, care for you, and want the best for you”. That’s what is called healthy relationship!
I am so delighted to spend 2 hours watching over one of my favourite couples! Thank you!

Gun and Tinn
I love Gemini and Fourth doesn’t matter who is who, but as far as I’m concerned, they were not suitable for each others roles. I thought that their specials had to be a continuation of the sequel as well as the others. I’m a little bit disappointed, but it doesn’t change the fact that I adore ‘’My school president”. There are some people, who are watching Our Sky without having watched all of the dramas included. It’s impossible to rearrange the entire drama and put it in 2 episodes. Their feelings developed so rapidly, some things didn’t even make sense. That’s why I think that making a continuation was a better Idea. Btw, I’m satisfied just by seeing them together holding hands and clinging fingers. I missed them sooo much.
P.S I’m endlessly in love with Fourth’s calm and deep voice.

Gun and Cher
Honestly, I had been putting off watching this for a longgg time, but I’m glad I decided to bite the bullet. It turned out that this drama was one of the fluffiest, easiest to binge-watch and have a ball. I laughted so hard while watching those 2 episodes, and there are some things that captured my attention. It’s so heartwarming to see that Gun gave up on his luxurious condo and moved in with Cher. Despite the age gap and different social status they are so harmonious! I also love their ability to talk to avoid falling outs! I don’t know why GMMTV is so fond of switching roles, but I liked this one. Before being judgemental and making conclusions about a person, we should get to be in their shoes first! This was depicted in a funny way, but made so much sense indeed!
And Chers last order to love him forever was so touching! Love them!

Pat and Pran
GMMTV indulged us so much in the last 4 episodes…This has been the best collaboration so far.
I didn’t know I loved OhmNanon so much…Now when its over and I will never see them together again it hurts…”I can’t live without you” “Neither can I”. When I finished “Bad buddy” I thought that there was nothing extraordinary about OhmNanon, but now I get it. Nobody can look at Ohm the way Pran did on the backstage. “I always tell him, that he can’t do anything without me, but that’s me who always needs his help”. Shia, was it necessary to make me cry?
Honestly, I thought that Pat would be the one playing Phupas role, not Pran. Btw, I cried when Pat was counting stars, and I remembered the original scene…I can never get over it, actually.
Will miss OhmNanon…already missing!

Phupha and Tian
Leaving the best for the last. I am so eager to watch “Moonlight chicken” to enjoy EarthMix’s chemistry again, but I know, that nothing compares to Phupha and Tian. The way Tian says “Hawhna” and looks into Phupha’s eyes so innocently…Their story is one-of-a-kind.
Their couple has developed undoubtedly. Do you remember their first kiss at the end of “A tale of thousand stars”? They were so shy and unconfident. They have been together for so long, therefore the kiss was so passionate and emotional, I wonder if it was PhuphaTian or EarthMix…
Seeing them arguing over such small things deluded me at first, but then I understood that it was all about compromising mixed with a little misunderstanding. Who loves who more? Who cares about who more? Who fell first? I think, that such arguments are common, and doesn’t matter how mature and self-assured you are. We see that in the beginning they don’t want to talk it over, they just quit and go their separate ways. Communication is the key. We know that both of them were not sophisticated about relationships. Even though they had a near-death experience together, dealing with family matters can be more intricate. Tian admitted that they had never fought over more nonsense than that. I’m so glad that they show us the real hardships we have to overcome in realtionships.
Last scene was something undefinable. THE WAY PHUPHA GAVE THE RING TO TIAN WITH TEARS IN HIS EYES GOT ME SOBBING. Tian was astounded and emotional at the same time. THEIR ACTING WAS SO TOUCHING, I BURST INTO TEARS. THE WAY HE THREW HIS HEAD BACK TO HOLD HIS TEARS WAS TEAR-JERKING, I SWEAR.
I’m so grateful for this! HE FUCKING PROPOSED TO TIAN.
“A tale of thousand stars’’ is a drama that I scarcely can get over. Its time to rewatch my favourite scenes!

A collection of some really fun extras to beloved series

Unlike the first Our Sky series, I had made sure to watch all of the parent stories for this one in preparation for when it came out. Some, I watched a while ago so I'm glad each new story began with a recap to refresh my memory.

As a whole, I really enjoyed the series though some of the stories I liked way better than others. It's really impossible to rate the whole series as one thing with all the different casts and storylines going on so that's why I broke it down by series.

Episodes 1-2 (Never Let Me Go)
I liked the time travel aspect and how it felt like a true side story; taking these characters that we know and love and giving them a short "side quest" - if you will - that has a beginning, conflict, resolution and ending. It was well-paced for just a 2 episode storyline. It definitely felt lighter than the original series though that's to be expected with a format like this. There really isn't time to create a lasting, in-depth problem for them to overcome which I personally liked. Honestly, these two had gone through enough in their main story that they deserved a break and something a little more lighthearted.

Episodes 3-4 (Star In My Mind)
While Joong is very VERY nice to look at, these episodes were a bit of a disappointment for me. There was absolutely nothing new brought to the story. Not only that, but it was literally the same thing that happened in the main series with the group of them going to Prince's resort and the main couple being all cute together. There's nothing wrong with that, per say but if these are meant to be additional add-ons to the main story, at least do something different. I felt like I was rewatching the original series or was suffering from deja-vu. There are so many other couples in the GMMTV lineup that I would have rather seen have a continuation or even mini-story of. And, honestly, I don't really believe in their chemistry. Plus their delivery of lines is really distracting to me where it felt like they were just reading off the script instead of "acting" the script.

Episodes 5-6 (The Eclipse)
This was enjoyable and, even though the story wasn't all that original (the main lead being upset because he thinks his boyfriend forgot an important date) I liked how they executed it here. I especially liked when the characters were daydreaming and putting themselves into other classic movie roles which was a nice twist. It made for some funny moments, which was nice to see with these characters, especially when their parent series was more on the serious side of things.

Episodes 7-8 (Vice Versa)
These episodes had a lot going on as far as cramming 2 storylines into 2 episodes. The first half was a good peek into the future after we left off from the series. It was an honest portrayal of the struggles of a couple keeping things fresh and making time for one another after being in the workforce grind. Then the second half had the addition of the arrival of this unknown child on their doorstep. Personally, I thought it was an interesting idea, especially when thinking about the original series with Talay and Puen never truly knowing what Tun and Tess did while occupying their bodies while they were in the alternate universe. There were some really funny moments combined with some deep heartfelt ones that made it an enjoyable watch overall.

Episodes 9-10 (My School President)
While this was the exact same story as the original series, it was made completely different with the role swaps of all the actors. They even switched the mothers which I thought was hilarious. While some may consider it "lazy writing," I thought it was an interesting way to showcase the actors and how they can pull off the opposite roles from what they were originally cast. It also gave Gemini a chance to show his singing chops by playing the front man of the band instead of Fourth. The music video at the end was a funny and clever nod to some other popular BL series (He's Coming to Me, Bad Buddy, Tale of a Thousand Stars). The friends really made this for me as it was funny to see all the swapping there and their interactions together and not just between the couples.

Episodes 11-12 (Boss and a Babe)
At first I thought this was going to be another role swap kind of deal but it wasn't. Well, it was, but not like the episodes for MSP. In this case, it was within the context of the show and it was more of a "walk a mile in my shoes and then tell me it's easy" kind of thing. And it made sense within the story instead of being a completely out there concept. The only thing I wish they had addressed was how name-calling and insults are unacceptable, no matter how much stress a boss is under. And they never even brought up the fact that someone flat out quit because of his unreasonable attitude. But at least he redeems himself at the end... sort of. He says he'll be more mindful though we don't really see it.

Episodes 13-16 (Bad Buddy, Tale of a Thousand Stars)
I'm reminded of how impressive these leading actors are. There's no "reciting lines and waiting for the next one" feel like there are in so many BLs. These guys truly feed off each other and give little nuances in response that make for some funny and more in-depth connections. Ohm and Nannon, while they don't have much romantic chemistry in my opinion, they have off the charts bickering and playful chemistry which is just as, if not more, entertaining. In episode 13, we are brought back to the time where Pat and Pran first "break up" and have to pretend to hate each other while dating in secret. I know a lot of people were upset with this as the original series ended with the families beginning to tolerate each other and the two boys being able to be open about their relationship. It's understandable that people now want to see these two dating for real in the open but honestly, for me, their best moments were the bickering and the flirting while having to hide their feelings from everyone else. That extra sense of taboo added a different type of thrill to the whole thing and it was highly entertaining.
Throw in the crossover with Earth and Mix in ToaTS and watch the amusing chaos unfold. The initial tie-in was interesting enough and I liked how they showed all of the characters interacting with each other. Having Tian and Chief watching Pat and Pran acting as them in the play was a bit of a surreal moment but I thought there was so much depth to it where perhaps they see something new by watching it happen to someone else.
And then we get a glimpse of a "fish out of water" reversal with Chief running loose in Bangkok which made for a fun montage. Then, their ending had me crying right along with them as it was a beautiful conclusion, wrapped up in a neat, lovely bow. Honestly, I'm sad it's over but I wouldn't have wanted it to end any other way.

I really do like this format of additional situations with already established characters and I certainly hope GMMTV continues to do it going forward.

GOOD COMPILATION!

For PalmNeung’s story, I LOVE IT. It is so damn cute and I am always a sucker for fantasy genre. I did not expect that they will have this kind of plot for 2 episodes and makes me have the closure that I never knew I needed. There’s nothing I would change for their part and POND IS GORGEOUS UM HELLO???? I can’t help but to fell for him damn! Can I just say I couldn’t get over Phuwin’s English? It’s damn perfect! I really like him and I love how both character has developed well by years. Feel more mature.

Okay. Im sorry… but what?? 2 episodes for Kluen and Neung be all lovey dovey without proper plot is wasting my time. Like… it is so boring! There is no purpose of the episodes and just a 2 hour long video of them being all lovey dovey which is almost borderline of cringe and I am so disappointed with New’s direction this time. Too plain with no seasoning. Blergh for me.

BRUHHHHHHHHHHH!!! FIRSTKHAO’s EPISODES ARE THE CLOSURE THAT I NEED!!! Miss gurl- LET ME TELL YOU MISS GURL- i really feel like they both are made for each other. They truly care for each other and I feel like the feelings are genuine. Another good 2 hours closure by FirstKhao. Love them so fucking much and I like the conflict of the episodes and shows how different they are yet at the end of the day, they love each other and that’s what more important.

Bye. I don’t think my heart can handle any more JimmySea. OH MY GOD. This is the cutest episode EVA. Like how can the director have such ideas to create such conflict between Puen and Talay? And solve the issue with such beautiful way. I just love how they include quotes at the end of the episode. AND CAN I JUST SAY JIGSAW IS SO CUTE???? Oh my lord. Bro the kid is so cute that I actually could picture them being a family. 😭 Anyway love the chemistry.

MY OH MY. Multiverse series are really the best isn’t it? WHEN I SAW FOURTH CHANGE ROLE WITH GEMINI, i literally scream. LIKE OH MY GODDDDD!!!!! Very creative plot and I like how they change the character to suit the plot since it is a multiverse plot. Just a little bit to complain, I feel lile Gemini’s acting in these 2 episodes a little bit plain and there is lack of seasoning. Maybe its just me but I still love them tbh! ❤️

UM HELLO??????? WHY DO I FEEL THAT THIS 2 EPISODES MUCH BETTER THAN THE WHOLE SERIES??????? WHAT THE HELL!!! I just love them so much! ❤️ The plot is very well execute and I love the idea that they switch role and HAHAHAHHAHA FORCE IS SO ADORABLE!!! Can we just admit how fine he looks and how good he is playing Gun as cold and stoic? Cher’s character is not as annoying as in the series so I love how the story unfolds by itself. There is no cringe or plain scenes cause everything is so damn funny that I ended up watching without skipping! XD anyway, still a better episodes than the whole series!

BRUH- I HAVE TO STOP MYSELF A FEW TIMES BECAUSE OF THE FEELING TOO MUCH. I SWEAR EARTHMIX IS THE CUTEST- I- UM HELLO???!!!!!! I couldn’t help but to remember why I USED TO BE IN LOVE WITH THEM SO MUCH??!!!!! Like oh god. I like their kiss scenes though HAHAHAHAH. But anyway, can I just say how I love Phu and Tian express their love? It reminds me of old kind of love. Like the way they express each other’s love really got me thinking they could be an old couple that got reincarnated from previous life. My poor heart. Oh my.

OhmNanon on the other hand is okay. The usual them being very playful and very goofy. It’s just that I wish there are more of their plan in attempting to make Phu and Thian made up though. But overall, it was alright.

Unnecessary

The series as a whole was ok. Some of the sections were interesting but none of them were really needed. Don’t get me wrong, I like many of the sections but feel this series was not necessary. The positive aspect for me is that most of the sections are not connected together which means you can skip the ones linked to a series that you didn’t watch or didn’t like. My favorite sections were My School President, Vice Versa, and The Eclipse. I was also pleasantly surprise with Never Let Me Go section considering I did not like the main series. I would probably rewatch these at some point in time. The other sections were interesting but just not enough to make me want to watch them again. The negative aspect to me was the crossover episodes involving the couples from Bad Buddy and A Tale of Thousand Stars. I wish they had kept the 2-episode per couple format. I was very disappointed with it because Bad Buddy and A Tale of Thousand Stars are my top favorite BL series.

Random Note:
You can wait to watch this series for when you have nothing else on your must watch list and have some time to kill. Again, the best part is you only have to watch the sections linked to your favorite series. See my reviews for each section of this series if you would like more information.

Why was this called Our Skyy 2 when it’s not an actual sequel. Yes, it’s a “sequel” (sort of) to other BL series but not to Our Skyy. I guess GMMTV was either too lazy or lacked creativity (maybe both) when figuring out a new name for this. At least they didn’t have to waste money creating a new theme song.

Too Much Story to Dig in

Ok, it seems I expected too much for this series since I love all the characters but somehow the story for each couple is not compatible to be on it. It lame and lazy at the same time, I don't think if they review it before they fit the characters. I only have 3 of the most love stories that match the couple.

The Eclipse: I thought this would be flop but its not, both couple and the story are match. It is literally a story of newly couples out there and the way it was twisted in the end it feels like reality for some cutie love story. I love the eye to eye contact of First to Khaotung they nailed it! actually First always bring the chemistry to the story, I don't know why but he always touch me in his acting career.

The Vise Versa: I never thought the couple here will nailed the story. This is the typical relationship that has ups and downs in their relationship. being together in one roof is quite challenging plus the fact another responsibility to take in, you need to remember you are not alone anymore so you need to adjust for your relationship to grow. I love how they express and show the true story in every relationship in one roof.

Lastly, The Tale of a Thousand Stars: This is OMG!! same with viseversa the typical and literal relationship in all kind of couple. they have ups and downs, similarities and difference, and stubborn and respect. I love this couple as always, I don't know but being the tom and jerry inside and out of the scene makes them a good actors. They have the nice and funny love story. And In the end, when Earth says why he is not going down even thou he love Mix so much?! he waits for the perfect timing. everything have perfect timing and the story tell its all. The story show how they respect the parents decision before taking to the next step.
For Eath and Mix, I really love their chemistry as i've said the tom and jerry inside and out the scene makes them good actors as always. I love the friendships they have and bring it as well in their acting and it just like all natural to them. More series to Earth and Mix please!

Overall: somehow nice to watch but I'd rather be rewatching the First Our Skyy. (sorry to say) but for both last story they are amazing, I definitely rewatch the last story every now and then just like before.

I enjoyed the last four couples more than the first four

After having finished this series on Thursday (08th June), I am finally getting the time to write a review today (10th June). I actually need to write this review to know what my rating for this series will be. I would like to say that I was a huge fan of the first ': Our Skyy' anthology series (I gave it a 10 and no one can change my mind about it). So, I was super excited to hear we were getting another one with eight couples from previously aired series (except for 'A Boss and a Babe'. That was airing while this was airing too). And I just want to say that I wasn't a fan of four out of the eight series. And I guess, because of that, I really wasn't able to enjoy their stories as much as I did the last four couples (matter of fact I told myself that they saved the best for last with these four).

Story-7.5/10 (when adding up all of the couple episodes)
Because it was eight different stories being told, I graded each story on their own and then added it up to get my final rating for this series.

Our Skyy 2: Never Let Me Go- The first in this anthology series was from 'NLMG'. I honestly did not like the series when I watched it (I had to watch it before OS2 premiered to prepare myself). I gave the original a 6/10. With that being said, I still kind of like this and the storyline was a bit different to any of what Thai BL series have offered to us so far (although I just recently saw someone may be doing an upcoming series like this soon). This was also one of the series where I was more invested in the secondary couples than the main couple. I am giving a 7/10 for their unique storyline and for their secondary characters, making this my fifth liked in this anthology series.

Our Skyy 2: Star in My Mind- I really, REALLY did not like this original series (I gave it a 5.5 and I preferred 'Star and Sky; Sky in Your Heart). So, I was a bit disappointed that it was being a part of OS2. I still watched it and...yup, this became my least liked in the whole anthology series for OS2. I didn't care for any of the couples AND I didn't like how they put one of the supporting characters who was wooing Daonuea previously in a relationship, as it felt a bit forced for me. So, I didn't like the storyline nor could any of the characters saved it for me. So, I gave it a 5.5, just like it's original series.

Our Skyy 2: The Eclipse- This was my sixth liked in the anthology series. I felt like I just wasn't able to grasp it as much as I thought I could. But I did love the supporting characters and it was nice to see them again. As such, I gave this a 6.5/10.

Our Skyy 2: Vice Versa- I'm going to be honest here. I felt I would have liked this if I didn't watch the original series. And because I did, I really wasn't that excited in watching it and honestly, I felt bored. This is my seventh liked in the eight couples and I will give a rating of 6/10, just because it did not draw me in when I was watching it.

Our Skyy 2: My School President- I saw a lot of comments from people who did not like this series, as they felt robbed. I am basically the opposite because I actually liked how they did a multi universe and told us this is how it would happen in this universe. All of the characters still had their chemistry and I thoroughly enjoyed it. This was my third liked and I give this an 8.5/10.

Our Skyy 2: A Boss and A Babe- As was previously stated, this was airing while this anthology series was also airing. I wasn't in that big of a rush to watch it, but when I saw that it was apart of OS2, I buckled down and started to watch it. And imagine my surprise, because I actually liked this series. And OS2: A Boss and a Babe did not disappoint me. This was my fourth like din the whole series and I gave it an 8/10.

Our Skyy 2: Bad Buddy- I was super excited to see these guys again. And while I was a bit annoyed of the fact, they did a cross-over and unlike the previous episodes, they didn't have two full episodes for themselves, I have now come to the conclusion that this was actually a good move. I give them a 9/10. Also, I am going to miss these boys so much.

Our Skyy 2: ATOTS- I told myself this before I watched this seirs and I am saying it now- they knew what they did by leaving ATOTS last (because they saved the best for last). And while many of us may have found them to be a bit childish, we kind of know the reason now. I felt that they got the better ending and story. Except for a small flaw I had, I gave them a 9.5/10.

Acting/Cast-8/10
I actually have no flaws with the acting. I felt that they all did a stellar job in what they were given to work with. As such, I give them an 8/10.

Music-9/10
The music did not disappoint at all. It was nice hearing new songs. And then to hear the opening OST again just brought back memories to me. As such, I will give a 9/10.

Rewatch Valu-7.5/10
I actually do see myself rewatching this (especially the last four couples). I know that I really won't watch Star in My Mind, because as I have previously stated, I just don't like the original and was not feeling this at all. But I actually do see myself watching the other seven couples, especially Vice Versa and The Eclipse because maybe if I watched them over, I may give them a higher rating.

Overall-8/10
Overall, I liked this series and I know that I will miss some of the characters. And GMMTV has made it easy for some of us who don't want to watch all sixteen episodes where we can choose to watch whatever couples we want to.

Un insieme di storie belle

Allora, questi sono commenti a caldo che facevo appena finite le due/una puntate quindi non hanno molto senso, ma servono per fare capire che quale più o quale meno mi sono piaciute tutte le storie.
Never let Me Go -> 9,5 in linea con la serie, per il più… sappiamo tutti perché
Star in my Mind -> 9 + ottima continuazione della serie
The Eclipse -> 10 e lode. Perfetto perfetto poi il limone finale…
Vice Versa -> 10- mi è piaciuto… ma c’è qualche cosa che mmmm
My School President -> 10 è cute, molto e le madri… ah
A Boss and a Babe -> 9+ finalmente due che si parlano
Bad Buddy -> 9 - se i due si fossero impegnati a recitare nei promo come nella serie avrei avuto meno paura di vederla
Bad Buddy e Tale of 1000 Stars -> 9 let’s say che sono un po’ disappointed del finale
Tale of 1000 Stars -> 9,5 e si, mi è piaciuta più della serie originale

Ma ora facciamo le cose serie e stiliamo la mia personale classifica di Our Skyy2 con delle illustri spiegazioni:
1. The Eclipse, 10L: allora se avete letto la mia precedente recensione di TE saprete che ho opinioni contrastanti sulla serie, ma devo essere onesta, questi due episodi mi sono piaciuti molto, ovviamente. Mi è piaciuto come abbiano fatto vedere una relazione in crescita, dove ci sono momenti di alti e momenti di bassi, dove ci sono delle incomprensioni e ci sono poi dei momenti in cui ci si ricapisce e ci si riscopre. Poi dei dirla tutta, First e Khao sono il mio paring preferito fra questi e si vede, hanno una chimica pazzesca che si mostra in ogni scena in cui recitano… quindi, il mio massimo.
2. My School President, 10: allora, io ho amato MSP e la storia che ci hanno portato è una storia un po’ al contrario, dove però non è solo lo “switch” fra i personaggi, quindi Gem Gun e Forth Tinn, ma sono proprio storie, che si si prendono per mano, ma che al contempo sono separate, mi è piaciuta l’aggiunta della storia fra Tiw e Por e ho apprezzato molto che il carattere delle madri non fosse invertito, ma i caratteri della madre di Gun dell’originale fossero rimasti e viceversa. È per l’appunto un take molto carino sul multiverso.
3. VIceVersa, 10-: sappiate che, come nel template originale non so perché ci sia qualche cosa che mi mancava nella serie, però è super cute, il senso di famiglia che Puen e Talay hanno (anche con il marmocchio extra) si sente molto e ho apprezzato molto il fatto che la loro fosse una “relazione adulta” dove ci si parla e si cerca di risolvere i problemi da adulti invece che fare con in molte serie che ho visto dove gli adulti si comportano da bambini e “viceversa”. Poi a me Jimmy e Sea piacciono molto come coppia (anche se li vedo un po’ scagati dalla GMMTV) quindi sono stata molto contenta di rivederli in questi due ruoli.
4. Never Let Me Go, 9,5: bella. È proprio in linea con la serie e anche qui, anche se in un modo differente abbiamo lo switch di ruoli. Poi i viaggi nel tempo, i fated mates e compagnia sono alcuni fra i miei trope letterari preferiti quindi bello. Poi Pond e Phuwin sono il mio secondo paring preferito quindi proprio il feeling il tutto. Poi c’è una cosa che è bella di questa serie e dei due personaggi, che è come se si dessero significato a vicenda e non so… è una cosa che si sente proprio. Poi, allora, avrei dato di più, ma il maledetto colore seppia mi ha fatto abbassare il voto… che aveva anche un più regalatogli da Marc e Pawin.
5. 1000 Stars, 9,4: allora, io ho odiato la serie originale, quindi io stessa mi stupisco della presenza di questa serie così in alto. Però visto il discreto salto di qualità da parte del personaggio di Earth e del fatto che l’anello che ha regalato a Tian sia una nice star (e poi la recita di fine anno degli altri due, dove, quasi in maniera inaspettata si sono invertiti i ruoli) ha fatto lievitare il voto (anche se mi sarebbe piaciuto rivedere il mio cuore di panna di Longtea, che era l’unica cosa che avevo veramente amato del primo). Poi sarò una donna materialista… ma il capo si è presentato con una Jaguar… I’m sold.
6. Star in My Mind, 9,3: c’è poco da dire su questa storia, perché è molto semplice e forse di tutte queste storie è quella che sembra una vera e propria continuazione della serie. Poi è interessante perché mentre in TE si vede una coppia in crescita qua se ne vede una che sai starà insieme per il resto dei suoi giorni. E va bene così, perché al mondo ci sono tutti i tipi di coppie. Poi, il mio Pawin che si è fatto tre terzi in comodo su tre… vi giuro mi aspettavo che Marc comparisse anche qui (e in TE). Poi super cute l’anello (si, lo so, sono una materialistic girl)(ah, per non parlare di Winny/Satang o Satang/Winny, ho come la sensazione che a breve avremmo una serie con loro come protagonisti).
7. A Boss and A Babe: 9,25: anche questa molto carina e anche questa finalmente ha due persone che si parla a e che cercando di risolvere i loro problemi, in maniera più o meno adulta, però almeno ci provano. Kudos per questo. Poi mi è piaciuto tornare a tutti i vecchi personaggi e a non vedere degli ampliamenti nelle loro storie, insomma mi è piaciuto molto che ci si sia concentrati sulla gelosia di Cher, sulla spigolosità di Gun e su come migliorare, sia come singoli che come coppia.
E ora di arriva al tasto dolente, anche se i voti che io do non sono bassi.
8. 1000Star x Bad Buddy, 9: allora, partiamo che qua è proprio un problema della storia, si perdono sempre. Un’intera puntata di gente che si perde completamente a caso. Ecco, questa è la ragione per cui non la ho apprezzata come forse avrei potuto (questo crossover che in se ci sta) ma proprio perché la trama non mi piaceva.
9. BadBuddy, 9-: che dire, come c’è scritto sopra. Mettiamola così, e chi vuole capire capisca: spero che in camera Ohn e Nanon stiano facendo un Pat e Pran post 11 episodio. Oppure sono degli attori a cui dobbiamo dare molto più credito di quanto già non se ne dia. Anyway, credo comunque lo avrei apprezzato molto di più se quando facevano i video promozionali i due attori sembrassero meno “at gun point”… non lo so…

Comunque queste singole digressioni per dire che si vede questo secondo Our Skyy è molto, non necessariamente curato, ma investito del primo e con delle storie che sono studiate e che danno continuazioni omogenee ai personaggi. E poi, ti permette di rivedere i tuoi personaggi preferiti… anche se questo comporta la chiusura definitiva dei tuoi attori preferiti.

Paresseux , sympa et dispensable

Pré-diffusion :
Les trailers sont incroyables et terriblement excitants, la chanson de l'opening est sympa. Retrouver nos personnages aimés même si on sait que cela va être court et probablement assez léger est euphorisant.

Post-diffusion :
Les épisodes sont très inégaux. Les scénaristes ont pour beaucoup été singulièrement paresseux avec leur idée de base, à savoir que l'on retrouve souvent le thème de l'univers parallèle et/ou du renversement de situation (à comprendre de manière littérale, les personnages sont intervertis) . C'est le cas pour Never Let Me Go, My School President, A Boss and a Babe et de manière plus mesurée pour Vice Versa et The Eclipse.

Comme prévu, cela est léger, très souvent bien trop léger, mais ça se voit rapidement et ça n'est pas désagréable.

Les deux meilleures propositions sont à mon sens les deux dernières, à savoir Bad Buddy et A Tale of Thousand Stars, toutes deux scénarisées et réalisées par "P'Aof", qui a une connaissance, un amour et un respect des personnages originaux qui manque peut-être aux autres specials.

Au final, sympathique mais non nécessaire.

PS : les OST sont formidables
