An excellent slow burn
The series hasn't even finished yet, but i have the need to review it especially because I know that the final episode won't have a "normal" air time and that the production won't rush it.I have liked the series since the first episode dropped and I have watched it every single week excitedly because there is no well written and acted slow burn bl. I have never seen one that was this well made and I do enjoy a good slow burn.
You and Jom getting together only in 10th episode makes perfect sense because Jom is hesitant to even start a relationship which comes from multiple reasons which are all very valid.
Yo feeling frustrated also makes sense because he does not know how to do a relationship since he never had a serious partner before. Yo always had issues with his temper and Jom not reciprocating his feelings and actions (especially with ex back around) feels natural for character, but i do love how we can see a character growth from him and realization of what he did wrong.
The series is not spicy, but it doesn't need to be because the chemistry and tension alone enough to make me feel all giddy about them.
There is alot left to resolve, but I do not doubt Saint and I trust him to make a very good ending to his own series.

Good slow burn love story
I love me some good slow burn and this is exactly what it was. Yothin pursuing an older man who is resisting back because of a past betrayal. Everything about this series made sense and was well written.Acting was good, could have been better there were some parts that felt a little forced, but over all we can easily forget those moment.
Chemistry wise it was there, it was good and I liked it. There isn't a lot of NC scenes and personally don't mind it i am just glad that Saint is back. The last episode NC scene was great and balcony kisses were amazing.
All in all it loved this series and I am sure that I will rewatch it some time in the future.

Perfectly balanced
Perfect balance of the serious murder mystery, well placed comedy and the right amount and good pacing of the romance. As someone who likes mythology and is interested in it this series is even more interesting to me.The acting is great and the chemistry is amazing and the cinematography is great. It's a great start and I look forward to every Saturday now.

Wasted potential and rushed storytelling
Well... That was a very long journey... I have a lot to say, but i don't think I will remember everything as I write this.Story wise it had a lot of potential. This series started as an omegaverse and it carried a lot of importance in S1, but here in S2 it just didn't matter now did it? Special Alphas were supposed to be unique and hard to come by and I do understand that Tony had to do something evil, but making your own powered people just made the powered characters from season 1 "useless". They started off well but it took too long to build up the entire story and then they decided to shoved everything in last 2 episodes.
The entire racing thing... If I begin talking about how UNREAL that was I don't think I will ever stop... I will just say that Babe, Charlie and North winning all 3 trophies is literally impossible because there is no way that North had more accumulated points in those 3 races he did than any other racer in the entire season... Even by just participating you get points and even if North finished top 4 it shouldn't be enough to win anything.
Now character wise - it was even worse... The actions that some characters took made no sense and relationships were not given enough time to properly develop or end for that matter...
ALAN — Personally what Alan did made sense to me to a certain point. I understand that the thought of surgery is extremely scary and him wanting to avoid it and feel young once more makes complete sense because he just wants to be the best version of himself for Jeff and his pack.
WINNER — Winner also made sense. He has nobody by his side, literally nobody so him taking the opportunity to work for Tony once more MAKES sense because he is the only person he knows and this is something he knows how to do. Besides even if he acts tough he is just scared.
SONIC — What the hell was wrong with Sonic in this season??? Why the hell eas he such an asshole to every single member of X Hunter and especially North?? Sonic has been in the same situation as North so why couldn't he understand where the hesitation has come?
PETE — Pete good god what the heck is wrong with him???? Him purposely ignoring Kenta and his wellbeing is something so ridiculous i can't even explain it. They grew up together and he has literally zero cares for him? in S1 he abandoned him and left him with Tony and in S2 he did the same? Him sleeping with Chris was also so forced that I skipped every single scene of them together. I didn't understand his attraction to Way in S1 and then they pushed his twin back in and let him take over?? Pete you have issues...
CHRIS — I cannot tell you how much i hated the plotline of Tony having an actual kid, let alone having an enigma child. That plotline was so unnecessary that I forgot about until the rooftop.
TONY — Oh lord Tony... Can someone explain to me why did Tony ever wish Babe back? Charlie I get because his blood is what he needs, but what does Babe have to do with it all.. You can't tell me that Tony ever loved him because that man is incapable of feeling anything...
That ending was so incredibly bad... It was so rushed and just jumping into that wedding did not sit well with me. Winner and Willy shouldn't have been there and that bouquet was supposed to be Jeff's so a huge hate towards thay company for doing that and ruining the ending even more.
Change deleting that AlanJeff scene is the biggest disrespect towards SailubPon, AlanJeff and us the fans and I never thought they could step even lower, but they proved me wrong.
All in all it was a very rushed ending, but the reason the series did well was because of season 1 which left us wanting for more, unfortunately this just wasn't it... Far from it

Incomparable
Incomparable to other series. Simply perfect. Storyline is complex, but flows nicely, characters are well written, nature and scenery is beautiful, actors did an amazing job. Chemistry wise hard to compare to other actors who are in already established couples. Both on screen and off screen Peterpan and Pond know and understand each other that is why their chemistry is overflowing on screen. They trust each other.Since the very beginning of the series and until the ending there is very little I would change and we finally get an ending that is not forced upon us, an ending that actually makes sense to all.
