2 Moons is starting to feel seriously cursed, and that's such a shame because the original was my first ever BL series and it holds such a sweet spot of nostalgia in my heart. I was skeptical when 2Moons 2 came out but I found it rather enjoyable after watching it, the cast did a really good job with it. But this....give it a rest already. Why are they forcing the story so much? It could literally have been ANY other university/engineer/medical BL and that would be it but they're doing the same old story and not well at that.

It's sad to think how much Tess actually ruined Taley's life. Not only did he abandon his friends for 2 years, and cost Puen his career but he almost blacklisted Taley from the entertainment industry. The funny thing is, he probably didn't do all of that maliciously.
He's just purely selfish, lazy and narcissistic. And unfortunately you just happen to get people like that. People that will squander any good opportunity that comes their way and aren't willing to work hard to change things.
Pakorn was kind to Puen's life and understood the same thoughts that Taley had in the beginning. That they can't ruin each others lives.
It's sad that the crush he had on Tess was probably irrevocably ruined this time around. But on the plus side, he and his friends lives were dramatically improved thanks to Puen and Taley and he will only build upon that success while Tess will probably once again go back his playboy ways.
It's unfortunate but all that matters is how you pick yourself up in the face of adversity. Maybe losing Kita and Fuse (who will probably be put off by his behavior) he'll realize how much his actions work against him and be more willing to change.

He probably lost a lot of hope. Taley was gone for more than a month and he too had to pick up a lot of the pieces of a dwindling career from the mess that Tess made as his manager. Probably thought that Taley would tell him when he's back rather than getting his heart broken each time it's just Tess answering

I can't say that this is outright bad....but it's kinda bizarre....and random, too random.
The plot is going at break-neck speed and not in a good "oh yay, stuff is actually happening" kinda way but a "how did that jump in plot even make sense" kinda way.
That kiss was just way too random, again they have said that Rain had a crush on the girl, and like I get it if he doesn't anymore but why put it there if you weren't gonna do anything with it? Why couldn't he just be your regular unattached university student? Maybe I'm the only one bugged by that but oh well, I just thought they'd use the crush as a buffer for him avoiding his feelings for Phayu.
My main issue with this is the really (and I mean REALLY) weird infantilization of the "bottom" and again it might just be me but it's just odd. I mean the spanking which was just cringey, I mean who the hell let's some guy spank them like they're a toddler who needs a time out? It seemed like it was supposed to be funny but in the context that it was shown in, it was demeaning, like Rain was just a baby that needed to be spanked so that he learned his lesson and never went against the absolute words of his big strong "top".
I don't mind a power play done right, but to treat the "bottom" like he's just a stupid kid that needs his behavior rectified rather than having them fall for him even with his flaws, just grates on my nerves.
Also the person who edited this series needs to either be fired or go back to school, the weird sound changes, the freaking three minute song on the racing track, re-hashing the first episodes start to a letter in the second half....some low budget drama's have had better editing is all I'm saying.
I'll watch a few more eps before I decide if I want to drop this because so far it hasn't put me off completely and the chemistry between them is pretty good so far so...we'll see

That wasn't even the biggest issue though. It's kind of understandable that Phayu got confused and thought Rain was giving him hints, like "oh, maybe this guy wants a one-night stand with me, he's attractive so I'll bite" and again, it's not like Rain made any effort to push him off, they have similar physiques so you can't even argue that he was at a disadvantage.
My issue with it was that boy was going to himself "stop liking it" and not pushing Phayu off when he liked someone else and at least Phayu did stop when Rain clearly established that he wasn't interested.

To be honest, I'm not sure if I liked it. By no means was it bad but it also wasn't great. I mean it's the first episode and you kinda want people to be hooked or interested enough to continue but nothing really happened here.
I know more might happen later on but just from the first ep alone I can tell the theme of the rest of the series....
The characters are also a bit odd to me. Rain is definitely cute but a bit too dumb, not in an offensive off-putting way but more of a....struggling to adult kind of way, especially when he had no clue who to call for his broken down car, I mean that would totally be me in that situation so he's not that bad to me.
I kind of just didn't understand his crush on the girl, I mean, what about her did he like? He went into such detail about his admiration for a handsome male stranger that he was giving clear heart eyes to in the first minutes of their meeting but then all of a sudden he has a crush on some girl?
You can argue he's going to figure out his sexuality later but...what "straight" guy with an established crush on a girl lets a guy they just met, kiss their neck? It just happened too fast and his complacency didn't make sense for a guy who supposedly liked someone else.
Phayu....jury's still out on his character but it's starting to get annoying when writers have these flawlessly perfect and over-accomplished "tops" and the weird, awkward but still loveable "bottoms", I mean, let your characters equally have their flaws or life situations they're struggling with.

Well this leads to my other annoyance but who do they think is their target audience? 12 year olds? Grown people watch your shows about adults here so actually put them in situations befitting their age.

I had the same thought, these are adult men and the guy Rain has a crush on is putting up all these walls so it would kind of make sense for Rain to seek comfort from somebody else which is such a human thing to do....maybe it would even cause a bit of juicy jealousy when Rain and Phayu actually get together

I kinda skipped over a few eps because everyone's comments were seriously putting me off but I've since caught up again and maybe I'm in the minority here, but it's still not that bad for me.
It is kinda slow but there are still a lot of eps left so...plus it's about people doing people things and living their lives with their happiness, sadness, insecurities so it's not like I'm even expecting a grand old plot with multiple twists and turns.
So far I do like the characters as well.
Sun is cute if a little ditzy but it's nice to see he knows what he wants and does try his best for it.
Kim...it's easy to see why he's so cold and closed off (with a fucking father like that) and it's kind of like his lonely heart calls out to Sun's lonely heart.
Their story might be a bit slow but there's definitely a nice build up so far.
Rain and Phayu....it's kind of sad because Rain clearly likes Phayu and wants him to want to be around him and take care of him out of love not duty and Phayu has been forced by everyone, his father included, to treat Rain as damn near royalty.
Look, just because his father works for that family doesn't mean that Phayu has to as well, damn, he might have his own dreams too and as parent you should support that, I certainly wouldn't encourage/force my kid to be some rich assholes butler (not that Rain is the asshole).
Also, as much as I like them together because they do have a cute chemistry, I kinda feel like they're an obvious match and just personally I would like to see something along the lines of Rain getting swayed by Shun who gives him an unbiased attention.
Also maybe he and Phayu do try things out but it doesn't work for them, like they danced around their feelings for so long that it changed before they were aware of it.
It would just be an interesting path to take rather than having them be the set second couple, plus the Shain kiss was very hot and I was kind of disappointed it was dream, would have been interesting if it had been real, even if it would be Rain just using Shun.
As for Pie and Phet....they kinda confuse me since I don't know if they're even friends and also Pie is a freaking asshole! If they are then jeez, where the hell do you get off talking to a friend like that? I don't know how that would make a convincing romance.....
The dad infuriates me, you legit told your son that you don't love him as much as your firstborn, you don't understand him nor will you even TRY to understand him, you don't care how he feels so long as he's doing what you tell him to and that he was basically born to follow orders.
The mother is obviously a competent woman but what, you can't stick up for your kids or even offer some comfort to them? Just blissfully ignoring that they're being pressured by an tyrant.
Sorry but there is nothing that can redeem the dad in my eyes especially since it's obvious he's going to cause problems for both his kids relationships and I just hope they don't pander to him with some bullshit filial plot point like he just wants what's best for his kids so they should understand him.

That's really interesting, thanks for explaining that

That's really interesting, thanks for explaining that

You can watch it on Kissasian if you haven't found it yet

It is i was just a bit confused, i should probably fix that

Well, I did leave a review so feel free to check it out if you want, first review I ever left on a series haha

I saw....😅

Thanks for the comment, I'll consider leaving proper review

I'm really enjoying this series. I think they're doing a really good job, there's never been a dull moment and I love how complex the characters are.
Mark is so sweet and he breaks my heart every time he cries, he's so used to rejection and being the guy that everyone leaves that he's gotten too used to closing his heart and putting on a brave face. Vee was the first one to see through that mask and accept him for who he was and Mark dared to believe that this time would be different but was met with crushing heartbreak.
I'm glad he's not making things easy for Vee though.
Vee...I do like him a lot actually even though he makes stupid decisions sometimes. While it is very admirable to defend your ex (who you dated for 3 years so of course there's still some feelings) that doesn't mean you put yourself in a situation like that (as Nuea rightfully said), or even standing that close to them, also dude....someone could be a foot away from me and if I felt like they were making a move I'd hightail it away from them.
But it's very interesting to see Vee struggling so much from his feelings of inadequacy, feelings that Ploy set in him from her cheating and by Nuea, another rich guy, chasing after Mark. Everyone always felt like they would be a better choice over him and that has affected him.
Although I feel bad for him, those punches/slaps....wow, Yihwa goes the extra mile for people she's protective over and I'm glad that even though they are Vee's friends, they don't condone his actions and that's how friends should be. You should never cover up or ignore your friends cheating on someone.
Ploy was also very interesting, maybe some people find her unlikeable but I just found her kind of pitiable. She threw away a loving and caring relationship for a guy who could offer her more and it turned out to be the wrong decision but since she cheated she was kinda stuck with it and tried to make it work because of what she traded for it. Maybe on some level she probably felt like she deserved it?
And when her ex came in like a knight in shining armor at a point where she was particularly vulnerable, it's only natural that she would want that safety and caring back again but after what happened it's nice she understands that she'll never have it again and was even willing to explain everything to Mark and Vee's friends.
All in all, this series is doing pretty good in my books.

😅 Thank you, haha

I was going through serious KinnPorsche withdrawals before I spontaneously decided to watch Triage, which is usually not a genre I particularly enjoy (Probably why I haven't watch MOD yet but I might just give it a try now). But boy am I glad that I gave it a chance.
To me, this was a masterpiece and it's so unfortunate that it was released at the same time as K.P, otherwise it might have gotten more attention.
The storytelling was amazing to me, literally no words for how perfect it was.
Tin starts off as a jaded and anti-social ER resident who is just doing the bare minimum to prolong the lives of people that he doesn't like while silently judging and cursing an unfair society that allows the rich to get away with what they want and for no justice for people on the ground.
When he enters the loop, we can see his frustration with having to keep someone like Tol alive and many, many loops are gone through before he decides to actually get to know Tol.
Although you can see that he's not impressed in the beginning, things start to come around when he becomes connected to the people that Tol has affected and how they impact his life as a doctor as well.
Through being pushed to change the fate of not only Tol, but others as well, he starts opening up, empathizing with people more, getting softer and gentler and ultimately opening his heart to falling in love with Tol.
Tol might have been an asshole in most of the loops where they met but slowly along the way, with Tin's guidance, unwavering dedication and love, he too starts to change.
They play really heavily into the butterfly effect here, and I know people had issue with how cold Tin was in Tol's loop but...it made so much sense though.
Through Tin intervening with Tol's life, so many things came into the open, he prevented Rit's death after discovering the missing organ, prevented Tol from cheating, brought to light Mai's affair (because he went further back, Tol never found out for himself and never hurt Mai) and spearheaded a whole investigation on organ trafficking happening right under their noses.
Because of Tin himself changing things, other's changed in accordance to what he chose to do which is the same for Tol.
In Tol's loop, Tin never went through hell to save him therefore he never started warming up and stayed the bitter person he was in the beginning. Since Tol made things right with Rit before he could commit suicide, he went to Sing out of his own volition and not with Tin's help and found out about the organ missing. Tol had the lunch with Sing and Rit instead of Gap being there because he already knew about it and Sing and Gap are already in a relationship because Tin never got closer to his colleagues.
Even the whole thing with Doi, he wasn't going crazy in Tin's loops but in Tol's he was because they were closer to being busted, Tin got the money instead of him, Sak had berated his extreme murder attempts and abandoned him so.....
Tin and Tol changed something in different ways, therefore the outcomes are completely different for them, chaos that one person caused and fixed is different when the other did it.
Either way, it was amazingly done.
As for the whole loop thing....Yes it wasn't properly explained but that doesn't mean there aren't different ways to look at it.
When they were kids, Tin prayed to save Tol when he drowned and at the time he couldn't, maybe that also plays a part in why he wants to be a doctor other than his father, so they've always had a destiny with each other, a string of fate connecting them and intertwining with others around them.
Why did it happen? Honestly, who knows?
So many things in life don't have a reason or a logical explanation. Things like, why bad things happen to good people or it's all gods plan or sometimes just bad or good luck.
When something good happens we tend not to question it, we just accept it, the world may be harsh but so long as we carve a small piece of happiness for ourselves we're good.
The ending was a tad rushed to me, but so much happened and I guess they ran out of time so all in all, it was still a very satisfying ending, everyone had their ending and/or comeuppance and I loved every single minute of this series.

I kind of like it so far. It's slow for sure but it's not boring me as of yet. It kind of reminds of someone's daily vlog, they're not doing anything gimmicky or highly entertaining but it's still peaceful and you find yourself watching it anyway despite it being like 20 minutes of nothing.
There wasn't much interaction between the leads but this just the 2nd ep out of 14, there's no rush, they're still setting the stage so cool your jets.
I actually find myself liking slow burns as of late so personally it's not bothering me, it gives you time to delve into the characters and they're already showing why they are way they are.
Kim has had his interests shamed and dismissed from a young age by his asshole father and that has caused him to shut his heart off from feeling to much, lest he get hurt in the end.
Sun is quite literally the opposite, even though he has a bad heart it feels everything way more than someone healthy like Kim. And I know people find the apples "funny" but it's a placebo effect for him. He knows it's not going to make him better medically but it's an emotional tie to a memory of his mother where in that moment maybe the apple made him feel better and gave him hope, still gives him hope.
Phayu clearly has feelings for Rain but you can see how he holds himself in check, something he learned later in life when the innocence of their childhood faded and he understood that his role in life was to serve him rather than love him.
Rain, you can see he has other interests but he's putting them aside for the sake of his brother and keeping the peace, he looks like he's already well aware of his feelings for Phayu but...same situation and it'll take a lot for both of them to fight for each other.
(As for his mother....when you live with a narcissist who controls your finances, who you're committed to and have vowed to support, especially in a society that probably demands obedience to your husband, it's not uncommon that she doesn't have a voice and can only pitifully apologize to her kids.)
All in all, it's not too bad, not great but I doubt it'll get worse and obviously I love watching Ohm/Fluke in another series so.....here's to waiting for when they're in a relationship and can get lovey-dovey together and help each other open up...
