Chemistry, Spice and angst along with forgotten characters and a slap in the face final episode.
HOT AND SPICY, the chemistry is on, the engines are hot and there's a Threat on the horizon called daddy Tony. Yes he's back in all villainous glory, this time, working on the sidelines experimenting on alphas to create a secret drug.
The parings are full of complex emotions and push and pull elements. Many of the characters we wanted to see together in S1 are finally coming together in s2 with the exception of Pete/way which is now Pete/Chris (still a mystery who Chris is and why he looks like ways twin).
This is not your typical BL drama, the setting is unique as with the first season, which is why i was drawn to it so much. The alpha/enigma powers are intriguing and provide good drive for the characters and story without being too overbearing. The powers are more of a looming issue waiting to bubble up and spill over as with jeffs complications and increasing nosebleeds/ poor health.
The Willy character is both good looking and evil in intentions. ( The actor also has issues with an inappropriate SA comment about the end of ep 5, but we wont go too much into that here except, this made me dislike him as he showed no remorse for his actions).
The teasers are exciting every week with new story elements added and questions begging to be answered: How is tony alive? Who is the mole? Who is Chris and why is he suspicious? What is Tonys plan? Why is Jeffs power getting stronger?
Ep 10 review: omg there were frustrations this time around! I don't believe Alan would be this selfish about wanting the skill enhancer/ powers, everything he has done up to this point was for x hunter and Jeff. They made us believe he was putting off the surgery because of his love of jeff and to help the team at this risky time. But no, since the are all calling him old and uncle like he's in his 50s and not in his 30s and is supposedly in pain due to a spinal issue which i don't believe was added well into the series. We should have seen him in more consistent pain not just a couple of convenient ouch moments.
Tony said his chip in his neck is also pretty impossible to remove unlike Willys so i guess he gone got himself screwed! what a silly guy. At least he can now super punch and lift stuff i guess....
ep 11 and 12:
UPDATE and SPOILERS: ep before the final one:
ah man such a shame with the plot holes and lazy writing. it feels so rushed with random stuff thrown in. the characters have lost their empathy and feelings. in the last few eps pete and chris are now background characters when chris was supposed to be the reasonable in charge of operations guy and now hes just sat at the back waiting for everyone else to screw up first and even then he doesn't care about rescuing kenta or bothering much with alans betrayal which everyone seems to not give a crap about. great and now we have the predictable story for the final ep: babe and Charlie will get kidnapped willingly and then make a distractions for the other guys to sneak in, there will be some struggle and fighting with willy saving the day and alan getting shot and then pete and chris will magically say they finished the skill nullifying drug and inject tony so he can be killed. or even worse they may redeem tony or something who knows at this point???.
ep 12:
wtf was that ending??? Alan getting shot through the lungs and walking around and recovering, the rushed finalise. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SKILL NULLIFYING DRUG??!!! they all just abandoned it and now Charlie is ok with no issues? WAT! and the wedding scene where the producers just had to get involved. it really pulled me out of the story at that moment and made it a cast reunion. Kenta was practically ignored aswell after being stuck in the lab for days!
I would love to see more of the secondary couples as they have developed so much in their acting skills and chemistry. I'm staying tuned for 'I'm the most beautiful count' with ping/nut.
