KhaoFirst's chemistry is amazing. They were even better in this sequel. Knowing their friendship and how they love each other, I think they're not even acting during the emotional scenes. I see KhaoFirst. I loved the skinship! I've never seen a GMMtv series with that many kisses. It's sweet and realistic but also shows that Akk is now comfortable with his sexual orientation. In the prequel, he was uneasy, shy and now he's assertive and all lovey dovey with Aye. This sequel is my favorite with KongpopArthit episode.
It's the best episode so far though I don't appreciate what Ayan is doing (pretending to forget Akk's birthday). I like that the characters are still the them and their issue comes from their different personalities and views about the world. The story is grounded in reality and shows how they're still learning about each other and trying to find common ground. That's what I want from Our Skyy, not some vapid comedy or saccharine fluffly...

Does Pat being gay define his personality? Since he's gay he can't be immature, shy and overanxious?
I see, I get it. I'm also fed up with gay characters acting like victorian maiden, especially when the characters had previous relationships, as it is implied for Pat.
Ep3 was good! The pacing was better (no overlong scenes) and the comedy and serious parts were well balanced. It was a good call to introduce Jeng's pov now cause usually the focus is on the protagonist while the other MC stays in his mysterious aura until the end. I really liked seeing Jeng question his attitude, accept criticism and decide to improve. I wasn't expecting that, let alone this soon in the story. I stan a smart MC! I love the slow burn. Jeng can't hide his crush: he couldn't keep his eyes off Pat at the party. And Pat's drunk confession was cute but also important cause it confirmed they're aware of their attraction to each other. The only downside is the secondary couple. I'm not interested in them and they have too much screentime. They're not bad but I'm not here for them.
So, I recently subjected myself to this drama that was about as exciting as watching paint dry. I mean, it was…
Yeah this series is quite basic, doesn't offer anything new and even copies Skam OG but people are eating it up. I'm not saying they shouldn't love it but it annoys me when a series is overrated and the fans aren't objective enough to point out its flaws. They're saying TES is the best bl ever made when all I see is a classic story presented in a pretty package. Reminds me of series like ITSAY. Nowaday, viewers equate pretty cinematography with quality. If a series is pretty then it's obviously "amazing, never been done before, setting a high standard" etc... I think I'm too old to follow reviews on plateforms like MDL cause I've been watching and reading LGBTQ+ content for 22 years and what seems fresh and amazing to many viewers is imo a retelling of the same common stories.
7.5/10. This is a fun and sweeet series. Don't expect much cause the plot is angst-free with low stakes. The MCs are adorable, they have chemistry and they're confortable with each other. The NC scene in the finale episode was something else. BankEarth were definitely into it. For such a cute show I wasn't expecting that! I really liked seeing older Songkram & Ai with a kid. I'd rather see this kind of self-explanatory scene that support LGBTQ+ rights than heavy handed discussions like in Cutie Pie... I hope to see Bank & Earth in another project cause they're good together, no awkwardness at all.
Come on guys, stop playing with the rating! You say you want fresh stories, you want office romance but when you get it you only care about the ROMANCE ?! The series isn't perfect but rating it 7.6 after only 2 episodes is harsh. Wondering if you're ABAAB fans...
I'm not even surprised KluenDao's episodes were bad. Better than the whole prequel cause now we see the MCs communicate and express their love but it's still the weakest series from GMMtv. How come JoongDunk have so much chemistry offscreen but come out this cringe onscreen?! I really hope they'll do better in Hidden Agenda. It's time for Dunk to go to acting class!! P'Tee needs to push him hard until he shades his awkwardness!

What story are they trying to tell? The plot is messy, too many characters and not enough time to care. In next episode trailer, SeungJun says to himself "don't fall for this guy" but why would he fall for JaeHyun after talking with him like 5min ?! JaeHyun better stop chasing him before crossing stalker territory.
I totally agree. Same thing happened with TMS2 when some of us criticized JiWoo's toxic behaviour. I made the…
Don't worry, you wrote it perfectly. English isn't my first language either and I totally got what you meant. They just don't like people with critical thinking lol.
I think Werner Du Plessis took inspiration from skam :D....
He clearly took inspiration from Skam OG, with no shame at all. It was all over episode 10... That's one of the reasons I don't love this series. I'm not fond of this method.
The series really depicts the office environment: people actually working, colleagues sharing gossips, old school co-workers vs newbies mindset... I really appreciate that. I'm also glad they're taking time to introduce the romance. I'm fed up with insta love, where MCs try/want to get together after just 1 episode. I'm invested cause I want to see the evolution of their relationship from "enemies" to "friends" to lovers.
YOU GUYS MIGHT HATE ME. I DROP THIS DRAMA ON EP 7/8. I STARTED TO SENSE SOME RED FLAG FROM THE JAEWON 1. WHEN…
I totally agree. Same thing happened with TMS2 when some of us criticized JiWoo's toxic behaviour. I made the same argument as you about viewers condoning his behaviour cause it's a BL. Cause for real, we know this kind of shit wouldn't fly in a straight romance. People as so enamoured with BL they can't stay objective. You can appreciate a series and still criticize the characters actions.
8.5/10. Really nice series with good acting and nice cinematography. I appreciate they tackle the subject of mental illness quite realistically. I liked it very much but not enough to unsee its flaws. - The Skam references were too much for me, especially in ep10. I've seen and appreciated all Skam adaptations cause I knew there were adaptation from the OG (of course with some artistic licence). But since The Eight Sense wasn't promoted as such, it rubbed me the wrong way. - It was nice seeing the MCs being lovey dovey in the final. However, I dislike when subplots are resolved too neatly and the bad guys are forgiven. IRL bitches and backstabbing friends don't always apologize and you don't remain friends with them. - The end lacks catharsis. They spent a lot of time establishing how difficult it was for JW to heal (10 years of therapy IIRC) and that JH's accident made him relapse into high depression but they don't show us enough his mindset evolution, how he overcome it: within 10min onscreen he went from a depressive man to a smiling guy ready to start a relationship with someone he ghosted for weeks. - I'm still wondering why we had to put up with an evil ex-girlfriend. It is cliché and adds nothing to the plot: if you remove her, the storyline doesn't collapse. The whole cheating plot could have been told by a support character or by JW himself, or the ex-gf could have shown up for 1 or 2 episodes. We didn't need her shenanigans for 10 episodes. - Finally, why did they dumb down JH in order to give a shining moment to his girl friend? I mean, your crush has been avoiding you for weeks after you almost died before him and you don't even think for one minute why he's doing that? You don't think that it might be connected to his past trauma that he told you about the day you almost drowned? Your friends have to spell it out for you?! Nah, JH seemed like a smart and sensible guy, I couldn't believe they wrote this scene. I understand they wanted to show the MC has supportive friends but come on, this whole long scene was baffling.
