This second season isn't what I hoped for, the level did clearly drop from season 1. I hated the novel, I read less than 10 chapters, so I wanted a better job done with the series... but, my expectations remain unmet. A/ The things I didn't appreciate: 1. The flatness of the plot, there's just no suspense and no incitation to watch. 2. The tropes, the tropes, the tropes... 3. The tasteless rehearsal of a recipe that worked once. An indigestion, anyone? 4. The excess of lovey-dovey scenes that make my gay *** cringe. They were awesome at first but too many of them makes them lose their charm. 5. The lack of interactions with the families. Only one weak scene with Tharn's parents in the beginning. B/The things that would definitely captivate me if they ever happen (but it's very unlikely): 1. GIVING TECHNO A LIFE. He's just there, jesting around. An important character with no background and no story. 2. Thorn and his fiancée breaking up and Thorn getting with San. I can dream, I know! 3. Bringing Type's father asap. He's my favorite character in the series. 4. Upgrading the game between Doc and Champ, that awkward flirting is way too.... BL. 5. Chasing away those female homewreckers... the twist died long ago, no need to resuscitate it.
Personally, I have a problem with the cast. I ADORE Podd but the remaining actors ... they remind me way too much of 2gether, 2gether that I want to forget. Gonna watch the first episode now and see if I will watch the whole series or just stare at Podd's face for the remaining 12 episodes.
I didn't plan to watch this second season and when I read the reviews and comments, I tell myself: "Well done, buddy!"... I expected it to be a disaster and from what I see, my guess was correct! :/
I won't watch this for different reasons but mainly because of the plot. I don't want to see semi-teenagers in a surgeon's role. It takes 15 years more or less to become a surgeon (from med school to residency), and since the surgeon is well-known he must have a solid career... so any actor under 40 would be a miscast.
Assuming that the story here is cliché is a bit exaggerated here. The movie was released in 2005. I am pretty sure those clichés you refer to were nowhere to be found back then. While judging, all the variables should be put on the table. You can't compare a 2005 show in a 2016 cinematographic market..
Y'all have some english translated novel?? Looking for a friend here!? :---D
I read the novel and I regretted it. It's by far the worst Thai BL novel I ever read, I don't know how they considered adapting such trash as a series even. For extra translated novels, you can look on Wattpad, there are plenty of them!
I read there would be a movie version instead of a full second season... but it's been over a year ago and with the pandemic a lot of projects flew apart already.
