A big mess but sometimes it's okay
I want to start this by saying I did watch Only Friends: Dream On before I watched this and I am definitely more biased towards season two. This season had so much happening but also nothing happening at the same time. There was a lot of plot but all of them were just so drawn out that I just got annoyed. This show was messy, which I'm here for, but a lot of times the mess felt like it had no purpose other than to make the show more interesting rather than it having an actual purpose.
Characters and couples:
Sand: I love First let me say that right off the bat. Absolutely love him! As for Sand, he was the character that had the least amount of drama, was the most reasonable and level-headed, caring, and definitely the kindest out of all the characters. He was in my top three characters throughout the whole show. I really enjoyed his character a lot. The only time he really bugged me was when his ex came into the picture and he kept hesitating if he still had feelings or not, other than that I loved him a lot throughout.
Ray: I love love love Khaotung so much!! Ray was my favorite character by the time the show was done. He was a huge mess don't get me wrong, but I loved the depth of his character, and I loved how much he grew over the show. You could really tell by the end that he wanted to be a better person by going to rehab and by trying to get along with Top, etc. He had a lot of issues throughout the show with Mew, Sand, Top, Boston, his drug and alcohol addiction, and family issues. I think he was for sure the biggest mess in the show, but he had a depth to his character that I felt everyone else was missing.
Sand & Ray: I think they have the best chance of making long term when it comes to the couples. They're really good for each other and care so deeply for each other. They were my favorite couple from the start through to the end (it could be because I'm also such a big fan of FirstKhaotung too). I liked seeing how their relationship changed throughout the show a lot.
Top: I hated this man the first part of this show and then somehow, he became one of the most likable in my opinion. I don't think he really cared for Mew at all in the beginning and truly did just want to sleep with him. I think it was shortly after he slept with Boston again that he realized he was starting to really like Mew and really regretted cheating on him. He was so unlikable the first few episodes of the show and I was pretty happy with his growth over the show.
Mew: He went from being my favorite character to someone I was just pissed at constantly. I swear after he lost his glasses, he just became a completely different character and I didn't like it. I'm not talking about him being upset that he was cheated on either, because who wouldn't be upset about that. He was doing drugs, drinking a lot, dating Ray even though he didn't care about him like that, doing shady stuff, and was just pissing me off all the time. By the end, he did get a bit better again, but I just felt mixed about his character by the time the show wrapped. I will say I loved that he never forgave Boston.
Top & Mew: Now I know they were together again by the time the show was done & they did make an appearance in S2, but I don't think they'll last forever to be honest. We really didn't see them having anything in common and I don't think Mew will ever get over what happened. They are cute together don't get me wrong, I just can't see them lasting long term.
Boston: I hated him every second of the show and that never changed. I didn't care for him in S2 either, but this was so much worse. If you want to be a single and sleep around then do it, I have no issue with, but sleeping with your best friends boyfriend? Sleeping with your best friends brother? Cheating on your boyfriend? Absolutely not. Top cheated too but you can tell he regretted it and knew it wrong. Boston never was truly sorry or saw what was wrong with any of it. He played with Nick's feelings too and never saw an issue with that either. I just hated him every second of the show.
Nick: Other than sleeping with Boston, he felt so unattached from the show. He really didn't have any importance other than being Boston's f*ck buddy/boyfriend. He was fine, but not really that exciting. I am glad he broke up with Boston in the end because he deserves better than that.
Boston & Nick: They were bad together and am glad they aren't together anymore.
The girls were so unimportant in the show I'm not going to bother writing anything more about them.
Also need to mention how crazy it was that everyone was kissing everyone. Insane!! So tea!! I did enjoy the show, I just think the script was all over the place in moments and some things were very drawn out.
