Life goes on.. Love goes on.. this supposed…

Life goes on.. Love goes on.. this supposed to be some grand message about the epic love we witness in this drama?!? guess need to get my eye's checked, cause i missed it. and to call anything here Love, is a bad-joke. **************************************well Kho and Jack turned out to be a total gem together, that made this whole mess sufferable. and i still like Mark as an individual character - then he is the Mark i remember from 2 Moons. but when he's with his "better half" i can easily skip over him / them, like i do/did with the "main" couple. sorry but that Not love, not the healthy kind. ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************same with Pok and Tong - the only reason Pok felt guilty and tried to apologize, was cause he kept getting evidence from people / strangers - telling him that Tong's actions or the consequences weren't bad, but good and in his favor. if he has no faith in his partner and holds strangers opinions above Tong's - why he want to be with Tong? as is, he not worthy of him, as i will Never forget how aggressive, borderline abusive he got with him on more then one occasion - so their 'happily ever after' isn't anything to be joyful about IMHO - ******************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************Phai and Sandee, if this was the 1st season i was totally rooting for them and couldn't wait for them to get together. but now could care less, cause i really dislike Phai - his buddha like attitude is grating, and his mini-mystic speeches just make him seem that much more "empty" - ****************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************last but not least Padbok, talk anticlimactic all that bravado and it came to not - but last ep so gotta make-up and have everyone be ok and happy etc.. oh well this a 'never again' - but plus point this OVER (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

A little rough around the edge, but a solid ending for this series!

We have reached the end, folks! What a wild, bumpy ride. But a ride I enjoyed, nonetheless.I do plan on making a full review for the entire season some time soon!Alright, let me get right into it:❤ThanuWayuWe start off with a small scene where Thanu explains what happened between him and Padbok. I will talk more later about my feelings on the explanation and Padbok's appearance, but thanks to Wayu, they get to talking again. It being Wayu to try and get them to talk again isn't surprising, especially after all the stuff that happened in S1.There's a lot that happened this episode that I anticipated, but I didn't expect there to be one final mention of Pha at all. Yes, the tombstone looked awful, but I already mentioned my problems with the props and set design for the funeral scene back in Ep 10; they more than likely filmed this one with that one, so I'm not surprised about it off looking grave site.But anyway, I loved that they included a scene of them visiting his grave. And specifically them harking back to the first season with the little Frog Prince figuring Wayu had from Pha. The moment I saw him holding that, I did nearly weep. That was a great touch.I wasn't expecting too much for Thanu and Wayu's first/last sex scene, considering it was both Dun's (Thanu's actor) and Bas' (Wayu's actor) first time filming one. It was fine- except for that god awful spot light!! I hated that thing in MarkKit's sex scene, and I still hate it now. I don't know what kind of effect they were going with for it, but it didn't look good to me.All in all, solid ThanuWayu scenes.❤ PadbokIf you are curious about the potential behind the scenes drama/issues with Junior (Padbok's actor), then check out my Discussions post.With that being said, I didn't expect much for the explanation simply because we did not have enough time. What they came up with honestly doesn't make too much sense, but it is what it is.I did love when Padbok mentioned that Thanu was the friend he loved the most. I feel that despite the lackluster reason behind everything, having him say that really drove home the hurt he felt, in my opinion. See the for them hug was very sweet though.Did I want Thanu and Padbok to makeout right then and there? Yes LMAO.I'm glad that Junior's final scene in Gen Y and more than likely with the company was this one.❤MarkKitA LOT OF FLUFF.Oh my God, so much fluff. Very cute, but I felt like they had one too many MarkKit scenes. Their last scene, the one where they went back to Mark's dorm, could've been replaced with just about anything: another PokTong scene, a scene with Mark and Wayu catching up after not really talking the last 7 episodes.Though I do like that they had them talk about their definition of love in their first scene together. I love that they kind of brought everything full circle with that conversation. That was great!❤ JackKohMy favorite second thing about this episode were their moments!Though short, they were chock full of sweetness. I do wish we had gotten a good make out scene with the both of them though. I do think that it's a little odd that 3 years later, they're still apprehensive about being seen together in public, but some couples are just like that, so it's whatever for me.I've loved that the entire time they seem like a verse couple; there were never really clear cut proof that one of them was the top. We need more couples like this in BLs. We got to see moments where either one had intense top energy, and others where either of them had intense bottom energy. I t was great.It seems like both of their actors may be working on something now? I hope it's another BL with them as the main couple! If so, I'm definitely checking it out.❤PokTongOut of everything, I was the most nervous about these two. Every since S1, I wanted them to have a lengthy scene where they discuss everything that happened between them and to them. Where they both acknowledge the flaws and whatnot. Especially with Pok apologizing and so on and so forth. However, I also know not to expect too much with BLs, so I was afraid they would have a very half assed scene with them and then they fuck.But they didn't! The conversation could been a bit better, but I'm honestly pleased with it! There's a comment Pok makes where he was like "I wish we can go back to the past, to when I'd make you angry and coaxed you." Something like that. There have been odd translation issues all season and even in this episode. I was put off by this comment, but I think what he meant to say was something like how he used to tease Tong and how Tong would roll his eyes but seemed to enjoy it. Things like that. Though I could be wrong.Having them mention things from S1 was great. For anyone who may not know: Bank/Tora (Pok's actor) and Bonus (Tong's actor) have a hashtag that fans of them use called "dom25". The 25 comes from the fact that they both were born on the 25th day; November 25th for Bank/Tora and January 25th for Bonus. So Pok saying he remembers the first answer being 25 had me reeling LOL I almost lost it. I thought that was a fantastic touch.Looking at them during this conversation was pretty reminiscent of how they were prior to Saendee fucking things up, and I loved that. I mentioned in my last review that we've been seeing Tong slowly becoming more confident and standing up for himself again, the version of him that was lost once the Saendee stuff happened. And we see it again in this scene. And Pok had some moments in S1 prior to The Saendee Incident where he was careful and pretty much respectful of Tong and his space; and we see that here too.Also, Tong asking him the 5 questions as though they were test questions was great, going back to the whole tutoring thing.I do wish we got oneeee more scene with them, though. It doesn't even have to be a sex scene. Though there are pictures of the actors making out pretty intensely during an acting course, and I was half expecting that to show up in this episode. Maybe it's for their other show, What Zabb Man.And I could go on and on about this scene, but I'll refrain. Just know I'm happy with what they were able to give us. I did rewatch the scene and did tear up a bit LOL❤Saendee and PhaiI was hoping since S1 that we would get scenes where it would show the Juniors warming back to Saendee. Or maybe the don't. I actually have a headcanon where it takes a while longer for them to even begin warming back up to him. So the fact that they do so quickly AND off screen sucks. But it doesn't surprise me.I also had a headcanon that by the end of the story, Saendee and Phai would not end up together. After everything Saendee did, it makes sense that they wouldn't. However, if I were the writer, I would end it strongly hinting at the fact that at some point in the future, they may more than likely will end up together.However! With how BLs work where they usually want to appease the fans of screen partners, they'll usually have the characters end up together anyway.But they didn't. And THAT was shocking to me.I follow a lot of the cast on social media, and even though I don't follow BankPon (Bank is Saendee's actor and Pon is Phai's actor) activities, I just realized that they haven't really been around each other that much lately. Maybe they aren't screen partners anymore, and that's why SaendeePhai didn't happen?Any BankPon fan who follows their stuff can correct me if I'm wrong!Also, I do think it's bullshit that Saendee finally told Pok about his grade NOW.But anyway...❤Time Skip/GraduationI knew for a couple of weeks now that there was going to be a time skip. I saw a BTS picture of some of the characters in graduation gowns.Now, all season, but *especially* in the second half, editing has been rough around the edges. The editing for this episode wasn't that great, but it especially showed in this part. It was almost as though they could only get one or two takes per scene.But outside of that, I would've been fine with the show not ending in a time skip. So I feel neutral about this choice. However! This show was a massive beginning for a lot of the actors; some them even got to play in other shows and will play in other shows hopefully. For a lot of them, they've never acted before and more than likely would've never gotten the chance to if Star Hunter didn't pick them up. For a lot of them, this was a a great opportunity. Even the company itself had some rough beginnings, and rough moments (Junior, scheduling issues, last minute script changes, etc etc) filming this show, but especially S2.So in a way, the graduation isn't just for the characters, but for the cast and crew as well. To move on to, hopefully, bigger and better things. And it's very touching to me. I gained massive fondness for both the actors and the production crew.
