Great chemistry, saves all
I didn't realy have expectations for this series, and i am actully pleasantly surprised. The story and writting was kind of bad at some parts. But honestly the actors dtill made it enjoyable1. STORY/EXECUTION
The story's premise is very intresting, and i admit they could have done better with it. The execution was alson kinda wonky at some times. Some scenes felt unnecesarry/weird and alot of scenes or i just feel like im mising some important scenes.
And also the end is kind of mid.
It isn't an unsatisfactory end, but it leaved alot to be desired.
2.Cast/ships
Akk/Ayan:
-undoubtedly the star of the show , even as a perosn who usually ends up liking the side couples more. First and Khao did a FANTASTIC! JOB!. their chemistry was perfect, and also their relationship was very realistic, and a walking green flag. Ayan supported Akk so unconditionaly and always made it known he was there for him, Akk was just very insecure, and very scared of other peoples judgement. They both slowly helped each other through their problems. First and khao realy gave it their all, and it showed. The last brakdown scene Akk has after Thua exposed him is so real and raw it touches your heart. I am now desperately waiting for Our Skyy 2, so i can see Akk and ayan again
Khan/Thua:
A solid relationsh, very cute.
3.Negatives
But what confused me so much was, when Thua outted Akk like that it wasn't acceptable in any way, i wasn't annoyed that This called Akk out on the Curse thing i get that, but Thua himself did THE SAME THING. He outted Ayan and Akk's relationship, and made him into the bad guy there. That was just so not cool.
Certain scenes felt like they were lacking writing wise.
Chemistry does so much.

Don't know how to feel.
Since watching the trailer, i was so hyped for the actual series. The series was worth watching but, it didn't blow me away. What saved the whole show was the amazing chemistry everyone of the couples had.1.Ship thoughts
2.Good/Bad things
3.rewatch rating
KINNPORSCHE:
they were cute, but as i watched more episodes a cycle started to be obvious, Kinn hurts Porsche in some way or another, Porsche then gets back at him, and misunderstandings start, get together and rinse and repeat. Not gonna say their scenes werent enjoyable, they were still enjoyable as a couple, widely contributed by the insane chemistry between the two actors.
KIMCHAY:
In my opinion, they got too little screentime, thoroughly enjoyed them too tho, and again widely contributed by the great chemistry.
Would have loved ,if there was a scene with their confession or just more with them .
VEGASPETE:
....
What am i even supposed to say, i hate their coupling ALOT. Vegas is a psycopath, he tortured, broke,stripped Pete of his humanity. It wasnt even to just torture him physically, what caused him more pain i think was the psychological trauma that he caused him.
He made Pete, adress/feel himself like an animal, he took it all from him.. and also Pete 'falling in love with Vegas' that's not love. That is borderline if not IS, stockholm syndrome.
I wont forget the scene when , Pete is in the bath while telling Porsche that he's fine as he tries to smile. Sorry if i keep repeating myslef but. He was an empty shell.
They were a very intresting ship, but i will NEVER ship them.
Good things:
The action was real and was there. The music was great 'freefall' is such a great song.
Visualy was beautiful.
The chemistry i feel for all couples was there.
Just Tankhul. I loved him. His character, was crazy,not serious. But when he needed to he also knew how to be realistic and serious.
Bad things:
I feel like Kinn/ Porsche's character development was nonexistent
Ending felt kind of weird??
Alot of thing could have been prevented , some by simply comunicating, if i was korn I'd have killed Gun years ago.
Kinn just felt kinda useless/ a bad boss.
HOW DID IT TAKE THEM SO LONG TO FIGURE OIT PETE WAS MISSING?
How likey i am to rewatch:
I probbaly, most likely won't rewatch the whole series again.

Started incredibly, but slowly declined.(still good though)
When i first started watching, i was very excited because i relay love the bodyguard x young master trope and first couple of episodes were AMAZING. but i feel that after Nueungdiao left the island to go back it just kinda crumbled and the ending felt rushed and not very satistfing to me. Most touching drama I've ever seen guranteed.Cons:
What i am most pissed about is, this could've easily been a 10, the story was very intresting and it started SO WELL, but the writting... the lines were good but even I, AS A STUPID PERSON noticed the obvious plot holes and things that just didn't make sense, and they affected the story alot in here. Biggest one was episode 12.
I was CONVINCED that Nueungdiao, got himself kiddnaped intentionaly and they had a plan amd something, because i COULDN'T imagine that they would be so stupid after litteraly being on the run and having several loved ones die, and not to mention Nuengdiao is THE ONLY HEIR. so he must have SO MANY bodyguards, but for some reason they never did anything? None of it makes sense.
Minor thing also, the scene when Diao comes to the island to see Palm the girls who ordered the coconuts just kinda disaapeared. Not that big of a deal but kinda funny?
Pros: ~The story was incredibly intresting, and they could've done so much more.
~VISUAL: very beautifuly shot, and i loved how the characters actualy looked real and raw, not always a perfect lightining we could see the texture on their skin. It added alot
~ACTING: Phuwin (Nuengdiao) realy surprised me, his breakdown scene and more intense sad scenes were done amazingly well. Very realistic. Other actors were good too but overall he was the best.
~CHEMISTRY: Main couple Nuengdiao(Phuwin) and Palm(Pond) had good chemistry i loved their intenser scenes the most.
Ben & Chopper : I mean i liked them, but they didnt blow me away but had decent chemistry.
Don't know what else to add but I do actualy reccomend watching it just the ending kinda eh...

A pleasant surprise but not for everyone
Personally i quite enjoyed the whole series, but after reading other reviews there are definetely things that were lacking, but they don't realy bother me as much as they do some more knowledgeble viewers.First, for the pluses i like that this wasn't an average cutesy, sweet story and had some dark/trauma elements to it. I think Tae Hyun's story was intresting and a good add on.
+i felt the actors acting was decent, it didn't wow me but they did decently and also had decent chemistry
+I like the length of the series yes it is 7 episodes but they're each 30-45 mins long which i very much apreciate.
+Good not too deep but not the most cliché thing, great for rewatching atleast for me.
+As much as episode 7 was kinda weird, the visuals were great! The actor who playe da yeol looked so good in ep 7.
Now onto the parts, which lacked and could have definetely been better.
-I also think that Tae Hyun's back story was very intresting but it all just felt very sudden, i wish they had explained or got atleast a little deeper into it.
-The first episode ALOT of people were NOT HAPPY with including me, since this is an enemies- lovers trope , most of the time it's mostly simple rivalry or teasing but what Tae hyun did was BULLYING.!
I legit, had to stop watching and went back to it after some time.
-Episode 7 felt just unnecesarry and kinda forced, i don't mind a short episode which shows the couples love after they get together/the story 'ends' , but it was kinda awkward, was surprised with there not being any real kiss scene but i don't mind that too much. I don't know what it is but it just didn't hit as hard.
-I didn't get as immersed in the story and it's backstory as I'd want to, and i still wished they expanded more on the psychological issues and Tae Hyun's back story so the 'climax' would have had more of an impact to me.
Plus a random thought of mine WHY DID TAE HYUN'S ACTOR LOOK SO PALE LIKE THEY LEGIT MADE HIM CASPER THE MF GHOST??? LIKE IS HE ACC THIS PALE IN REAL LIFE

Kinda disspaointed.
So. I have been waiting for 2 years for this? I genuienly loved WinTeam in season one but in between us i honestly just started skipping their scenes at the end to get to the side couple scenes which there were not many.I feel like acting is not why the show was a disaster, bounprem did a goor job and their chemistry was good.
Now, my main issue with this series was. WinTeam's issue was so DRAGGED to the last episode, and so many of the episode just felt like filler. And their whole plot point was 'one problem' just repeating.
I saw one person mention WinTeam do not have enough plot for a whole 12 episodes, but honestly thats fine they could have just got more scenes of the side couples and voilà PROBLEM FIXED.
SIDE COUPLES: this is what im most upset about, they dragged on winteam's story line to the end but refused to give Prince/Bee and Waan/Tul and actual storyline and SCENES. THEY GAVE THEM FUCKING NOTHING
SPOILER:
in episode 11 i do feel, that the climax is good but what should have been a short car drive, turned out to be a whole PLANE FLIGHT. It was dragged on to the point i didn't even feel as much during the emotional confession.
POSITIVES:
Just view. I loved him. Scenes with him were SO GOOD.
The side couples were bomb, Prince/Bee and Waan/Tul esp. The last ? Waan Tul scene was SO GOOD. came out of nowhere but i was pleasantly surprised.

The story ruined it
Talk about Wayu/ThanuLet's be honest noone realy cared for the thanu wayu and pha drama.
And even as a couple they just didnt have an impact on me usualy when i see a couple on screen i happily scream and just wanna keep seeing more of them. But for Thanu and Wayu it felt like i was staring at a brick wall .No emotion just ugh... and i feel like it's a mix of disliking the story and the actors not realy GIVING.
Like i felt that wayu had the same expression the whole series.
THOUGHTS ON OTHER COUPLES/SCREENTIME DEBATE:
it's sad but i wanted to see more MarkKit KohJack and anyone else other than them! But Thanu and Wayu took up most of the screentime... what a shame I'm realy dissapointed in the lack of Jack and Koh scenes they were the couple i enjoyed the most but they had so little screentime.
-Also something realy made me confused to no end, Was ehen Mark found out Kit is probably gonna go study abroad and most of people would probably make the most out of the time they had together, bUT THEY DID THE EXACT OPPOSITE THEY JUST SOCIAL FISTANCED FOR SOME REASON??
-Pok and Tong arguably had the most intresting and intense relationship .
STORY/PRODUCTION TALK:
Now to talk about the story between Wayu/Thanu/Pha
In the first seasonthey inteoduced their drama and i hated it in season 1. But season 2 just got worse and worse the whole love triangle/square just feustrated me to no end.
-if you remember the epiosde when they are at the hospital and Pha's mom walks out and sais that pha is gone but then the gang walks in and starts yalking to him??? That just bad writting
-and the tombstone looks like it's been bought at wallmart
WHY I WAS ANNOYED WITH WAYU:
i dont know if its just me but Wayu was so insecure about his relationship with Thanu. A GODDAMN PICTURE WAS ENOUGH TO IMMEDIATELY THROW OFF YOUR RELATIONSHIP? and okay i kinda get that, but Thanu explained that he and Phai had NOTHING GOING ON, but i dont know why but that was not enough for him so because their relationship kept worsening, even Phai stepped in to help and declared for the 100th time that there was nothing going on but, wayu still didnt trust Thanu! WHAT THE HELL ,WAYU DO YOU NEED A WRITTEN CONTRACT TO TRUST HIM LIKE WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU NEED?
PHAI BEST BOI:
And honestly Phai was the most pitiful person there Phai sacrificed so much just so these idiots could be together, and was so nice to Wayu even when he basicaly stole the love of his life from him . The man was a treasure if it wasn't for him Wayu and Pha wouldn't be together today.#PhaiMVP
