So much better than Season 1...

Sometimes MDL drives me crazy. When you have a 24 episode Season 2 it would have been nicer to decide first if you want to split the three arcs in three seperate pages or not. If I had not seen this page by chance I would never ever had an idea I should do a review here too.

When "New Sijaw" is not directing the childification of any series disappears (even when he showed he can do differently too) which elevates this series in a huge way. But of course they could not pass on stupid soundeffects to make it a drama only, they always need some comedic relief.

This story arc does not begin nice or cute, it starts with ghosts haunting Arthit and Dao. But both are not faced by it, because Arthit gives a rats ass about anything and Dao is "a medium" by birth and can handled it since childhood. The negative aspect of this story part is that all the ghosts fade into nothingness and not all ghosts get a satisfying solution to be reincarnated as I would have expected.

A central point of the whole story is the friendship of the two groups and especially the support for each other is prevelant in the younger boys group. The only downside is the 5th couple does not exist in arcs three and four, they were only present in arcs one and two. Of course each arc is its own story, but I would have wished we would have seen all of them even in the background (the 5th couple are the friends of Johan and North respectively).

While this story starts strong, it falls a bit flat in the end. There is the "forced drama" in episode 7 but of course we don't get a background why it happend and who the players were. So this feels a bit unsatisfying for me.

On the production side this is a top notch production. I only wish they would also go 21:9 like Domundi does, but besides that, there is really nothing to complain about.

Overall their chemistry works, their acting works and of course Oat with blue hairs is the cutest. My rating is 7.75 so I had a choice to round down or round up (which is mathematical correct). After watching so many crap thai shows I went with an 8, because compared to them this is so much better!
