News Mostly a fanservice epilogue - not needed but cute & fun
Was this sequel needed ? No. Did it felt mainly like fanservice ? Yes. Am I still happy to have found back those loveable characters ? For sure !
I truly enjoyed watching Pond and Phuwin having fun again in those roles, especially Pond as the character of Thee is so extreme in the best way. I also loved that the sequel gave the opportunity to develop more the characters of Rome and Mok, played respectively by William and Est. They even stole the show from the leads, as this gave their characters the opportunity to develop better a romantic arc than in the main series.
However, I really regret that the side characters played by Santa and Perth, were once again relegated to the background, with little to no development. Their storylines felt sacrificed and their characters felt like an afterthought, mainly because of the introduction of another new relationship. On paper, it definitely felt like the writers have bitten too much they could chew and I think that they should have focused on wrapping and enhancing the storylines of characters from the main series rather than dedicating time to a new couple.
Despite the fact that this epilogue was not really needed and did not improve on the couple of misses of the original series, I would still recommend this to people that have enjoyed Me and Thee. I still think it was a bad idea to introduce a new character (Mira) in a 4 episodes epilogue and to dedicate too much time to her, to the detriment of the other already developed relationships. Having said that, I still had a lot of fun and giggles with the series and I am very happy at how it developed and enhanced the storyline of the secondary characters of Rome and Mok.
