Scripted compared to s1 but the times they showed their real self although few were good
I might have found season 1 boring cz the episodes were longer and included pretty much everything from the judge's discussion to awkward silences whereas season 2 didn't have that. It is much more engaging and easy to watch but i would still say I like season 1 much better. When I watched season 1 I didn't feel like I was watching actors or celebs instead I felt like I was watching them as a person. Like on day 1 you could literally feel the awkwardness among the contestants and also the stress and anxiousness when it comes to the tasks and finding their partner. You could feel them.
In season 2 I pretty much felt no one. There were very few moments where you'd see the person in those actors and it was obvious like you'd see JJ trying hard to interact with people in ep 1 by bombarding them with jokes and later calming down once net shows up, auou being anxious about the shoot, latte being frustrated cz he didn't perform well etc.
I could really feel that JimmyOhm, NetJJ, TeeteePor, LatteKim were already pairs they definitely weren't here to find pairs. When it comes to AueuSave at first I had my doubts but then once they told they were alredy working on Your Sky's workshop it was obvious they were a pair too just trying to copy some things from season 1 to make this season seem realistic. It was pretty obvious that no one was looking for a pair since ep 1 cz no one seemed interested or worried unlike in season 1 were people were afraid (like FirstOne) picking the wrong person might do more damage than good. Also Ryujin coming in seemed soo scripted. It was obvious he was there for Patji cz no one was trying to even consider him as a partner (obviously cz they were all paired up) also the age difference made it pretty obvious he was there for him but Pat is not legal yet so let's just put it out there without pushing it a lot.
For me, when someone says DMD Friendship it's like a place where I can know how these pair's journey started but in this season that was not the case here. During the interviews it was obvious everyone were already fixed pairs before the show. They're here to promote and most of them are already on shoot also no way can they pick a new partner here cz that would definitely affect the series they're working on. Also if u noticed this season it's been 3 episodes but only once they asked for the players who didn't win the task to pick a partner and go on date if they match (we know why). Also during these "dates" you can barely see them actually having deep conversations trying to learn each other to see if they can be a pair unlike what we had in seaon 1 where the whole date they'd actually talk instead of being on their phones. I kinda missed the Polaroid camera😅
Anyways it is entertaining although i didn't like that it was scripted and just a promotion cz it feels like they're just playing with our feelings kinda.
So far my favorite episode is the play episode. Damn JimmyOhm made me cry like a baby. Now i get why people were sad when they broke up. I'm happy Latte finally found his partner but he still carries the same problem he had in season 1. He gets too anxious and messes up and then continues to dwell on that mistake for a long time but one thing i observed was that now that he had Kim he was less anxious and didn't force himself to interact with people. He was much more relaxed although he was still anxious. I really hope he fixes that issue cz on a long run that's not gonna help. He should learn to chill a bit. Like gemini says "try it and if u fail fuck it"
I really would love to review each pair but then i felt everyone was just fanservicing so i don't hv anything to say about them.
Right now after 3 episodes my favorite pairs would be (frankly no one solely based on this show but if i compare other things too) LatteKim, TeeteePor and JimmyOhm
Edit: now that I've watched the show I'd like to review the pairs
- JimmyOhm - They came out as a very mature pair to me compared to others. When it comes to me their highlight was the play where they made me cry and Jimmy getting jealous of Por for taking Ohm on a date. Every performance they gave on the show was kinda sad themed ones, kinda like subtle foreshadowing of the future is what i felt. They made me cry both on the show and irl .Unfortunately I'm here after they broke up so a lot of things they said kinda hit hard and made me feel sad. Well let's treasure the past and dive into the future.
- LatteKim - Latte and Gem were the 2 contestants who i really empathized with in season 1. As i said before Latte is someone who gets anxious easily. Although it was obvious Latte was there for Kim since day 1 and there were small things that were different about Latte now that he had Kim, i still wondered why did they choose each other as partners cz Latte didn't seem to be into it and Kim was a quite person by nature. That was until they got the friendship time🤣🤣. The way Latte switched his personality once he was with Kim i was like.. yeah now i get it😆. This was consistent Latte didn't talk much in huge groups but in his 1-1 he spoke a lot with people it may be kim or teetee. You could see him having Kim gave him a sense of security. Also i noticed he was much more confident asking kim to choose him unlike season 1 where he seemed desperate. Him trying to act cool but being a total loser for kim was just adorable ❤️. Loved their finale performance 🤭🤭 all they did was self service
- TeeteePor - apparently i was wrong about them being a pair before the show. Por was in your sky but tee tee joined later after becoming his partner in this show. Gotta say they had really good chemistry since day 1 cz i really cannot believe the play was their 1st interaction together. I Really like the way Por played. He had frienship time 3 times and it made sense why he chose each 1 of them ohm (friend), teetee(chemistry) and pat (nong who was upset for not being chosen🤣) and it was kinda obvious he didn't pick teetee twice to kinda tease him. I really liked how they kept their promise to sing and dance together in the finale🤭 cz in seasoj 1 i remember teetee dancing cz he wasn't good at singing and por saying he preferred singing. They both learnt something and i think the win was justified they did really good.
- NetJJ - I kinda get why people like this pair now that I've watched this show, i wanna support them myself. I cried when they had the deep convo before picking their partner. Net who never thought he'd ever have a permanent partner again and unexpectedly finding one. JJ who has had a hard time with success choosing to pick Net against a really big fandom from his past pairing. You could see JJs fears and i kinda get now why Net is soo protective about him. The kid really risked it all
- AueuSave - initially i really felt they were acting copying a lot of things from season 1 but yeah by the end that was not the case. But i did see Latte in Auau when he was upset for not winning. His interaction with Por and their friendship was something rare and new🤌❤️. As for save he was downbad since ep 1🤭 he kept trying till the end and succeeded. Another thing i noticed is Aueu's acting is underrated. I felt he did a really good job in the play episode and didn't win cz pat was a newbie and nervous. As for save damn his smile is soo freaking adorable. I was really happey when Aueu won the best performance award cz he really needed that. He kept losing after coming really close to victory❤️ also his finale performance was🤌
- RyujinPat - it was obvious Ryujin was introduced into the show for pat and they chose themselves cz pat is underage so this was just a kinda promotion for them.
