Petch is doing reaction vids of The Yearbook. Title and Man are friends from college.

In case no one is aware, this "season" has nothing to do with the original 2 Moons novel. It's based on an entirely different story, unless they've made some major changes since this was first announced.

Have you read the novel? It's a pretty good book. MV destroyed it.

You can find Ben/Earth (Khun.din)'s story in various youtube vids. Or you can watch CIWYW. MV is terrible. This story, if it gets made, has nothing to do with the 2 Moons novel.

I read the novel before I watched the OG. When the OG ended I was like, where's the rest of the story. Then S2 came out and we got 2/3 of the story. Good. Park got slugged. What happened to Wayo? I knew because I read the book and I figured S3 would pick up from there. Then we all heard how an actor was treated. Then everyone left. There can't be an S3 that follows the book.

No one should trust MV. Have you watched CIWYW?

How many recasts? Bet they don't get one name actor. No one with any experience will bother to audition.

Can anyone explain the multiple eating scenes with Sea/Tin in Ep 6? Is there some underlying Thai cultural element that requires so much eating?

Or maybe they will in season 2. :)

Looks like they get to pine for each other until after college. They have each other's Line, so they can keep and touch and Dew's post makes it clear he expects that they will.

I think it's safe to say this was made on a shoe string. Look at the sponsors list, so that explains some of the repetition.

As to the way the story unfolds, this was produced by Mean and St. Sup, in case you weren't aware. It's done very much in New's directing style. Mean was in both LBC and UWMA, so he's spent a fair amount of time absorbing the New style, and it shows.

It states above in the Description that the story is an expansion of a university project Mean did. That said, the dialog is generally superior to a "freshman" effort.

Given the amount of experience Mean and Sup have in the industry, it's clear they decided to take a different direction from the many fluffy stories. LBC had some very non-fluffy moments that both Mean and Sup were exposed to.

Overall, I'm enjoying this quite a lot and there may be some surprises.

Currently streaming on YouTube. It's basically an old school swashbuckler. So it's a lot of fun and not to be taken seriously.
It does have some good moments and the CGI and playfulness of Oka help.

I chatted with Aam a bit today during his live and he didn't seem think the casting had changed, and he's pretty close to the action. He said everyone should sit tight and not get excited.

I don't think my dentist would approve of this show, given the overload of sugar.

I would call the first episode quite creditable. Especially for a first professional effort. It says this is based on a school project, so he clearly was paying attention during the productions he was involved in.

According to the story, Pete went abroad for school.

Still just as good as the first time I watched it. The chemistry and hesitation are excellent.

I watched the movie version on Netflix.

Also, Coming of Age is both a brilliant and highly unusual closure to a series. As you've said, it makes clear there's no need to continue the story. It's like the coda on a book.

Nicely put. There's a discourse on fans in the "gravity of cheating" discussion.

I tend to think there's a difference between passionately kissing someone, after having apparently been led on, and actually going to bed with them. The word being tossed around is cheating, but without context, and that bothers me a lot.
Teh is in a fragile state and Jai takes advantage of that. It's also pretty clear that it never went beyond kissing. So, while it's not great, it's understandable.
We know that Teh and Jai didn't go to bed because the sun was still up when Teh got back to Oh's appartment. Also, the talk Jai gives Teh about why he kissed Teh shows that Jai had no interest in taking him to bed. He just wanted him worked up for the show.
When Oh sees them kissing, it's in a drama lab. Anyone could walk in and it would just be a part of the workshop process. I think Oh knows this, on some level.
