Omg, for the finale every song was pre-recorded and lip-synched. I'm so disappointed. In the first season there was so much electricity in the finale because everything was done live -- dialog, singing, and dancing. Here, the dialog was delivered live but not the singing. During the dialog you could clearly hear them breathing -- the mikes picked up everything. But when the music started it was like everyone had perfect breath control. Patji floated those high notes like Mariah Carey. Nobody faltered even when dancing and jumping around on props.
I bet everything was autotuned as well.
Just compare the Thomas-Kong or Keng-Namping performances from Season One to the dull as dishwater fakery we were given here. Domundi must think we're really stupid.
As it happens, a long time ago I posted a kind of summary of the novel:https://kisskh.at/discussions/my-gear-and-your-gown/56983-link-to-a-decent-english-translation-of-the-novelUnfortunately…
I think you're remembering the "2Moons" series? The first adaptation is from the dawn of the BL genre so compared to today's series it's lacking.
They could not have picked a worse scene from Your Sky for the acting challenge. Fah's character has, what, one line?
And it seems clear to me that Patji is not considering Ryujin as a first choice to be his partner, and Ryujin just embarrasses himself with his endless campaign to make that happen. Does he even spend any time getting to know the other guys? He's much too invested. If Patji does end up choosing him it will be out of pity or just the fear of causing an emotional issue.
Rewatching this now. Could be GMMTV's best ever. No silly sound effects, tasteful use of soundtrack music, and of course a great story with performances to match.
Such a phenomenal series! With 2025 coming to an end this will be one of my Top 5 for sure.
One thing I hope for is some sort of explanation as to what happened between Iljo and Jeonghan to make them go from being so close as teenagers to becoming estranged as adults. (For sure, though, the actor cast as the young Jeonghan did a bang-up job showing the beginnings of the older actor's blustery personality.)
Jeonghan turned out so hostile and disparaging towards Iljo after showing him so much enthusiasm and affection when they were kids. I would love to know what caused that.
I am smitten with Ga Se Jin. From his very first appearance all I could think of was Nam Joo Hyuk in "Weightlifting Fairy". Very similar appearance, very similar character.
For me this was the next best thing to seeing Nam Joo Hyuk in a BL, so despite its drawbacks I enjoyed the series a lot.
While I appreciate a hot, shirtless actor as much as the next guy, all the constant shouting and swervy camera work got to be very annoying.
Is there a coherent mystery here — a real plot — or are we just in for some really cringe, second-rate writing? If we learned anything from “Rearrange”, it’s that a bad first impression can poison the audience for even a great series.
I’ll give this another chance next week, but for now expectations are low.
Chai needs to stop letting his mom mess with his head and realize that Ek’s social status means nothing when it comes to love. ❤️
If we do get to see Chai in the future 27 years later I’m curious to see who they cast to play the adult him. I saw on ig that Bom said he’s 6’6” (almost 200 cm) tall. Maybe they’ll just ignore that little detail. 😆
What if the whole rearrange is just Win’s dream while he is in coma after the car accident?
He shouldn't have been able to dream all the scenes where he wasn't there in person, like Nut with his dad or Chai with his mom.
But then I remember that copout of a series called "Till The World Ends", which turned out to be a dream even though the ML wasn't actually present for several scenes .... so who knows.
Now that Win knows for sure what Nut feels for him, it might be that Win could return to his adult self and have a sense of fulfillment even if Nut passes away in the new timeline.
What I *hope* will happen is that Nut lives, and when Win returns to his original timeline he finds that his dad and Chai are also still alive, and that Chai is with Ek and maybe Biu is with Lin. (That last one's a long shot but hey.)

Unfortunately the novel is no longer on Wattpad (long gone!) but hopefully my post will give you a sense of how the book differs from the series.

I hope Tae will get another series but with a different partner.
