Could've offered more, but failed to deliver
First of all, this mini-series was made because SaifahZon did not have enough screentime and wasn't able to shoot their scenes for WhyRU due to COVID-19 so I was expecting something more and it was kind of disappointing. Watch out, this is going to have some spoilers.
Story
They've released the trailer and all of the fans thought that Saifah and Zon was not really true but in Zon's imagination so viewers thought that they would reconcile or start over again and that was a complete lie. In the beginning, Zon was hesitant and didn't want to get together with Saifah then things became the opposite and Saifah was avoiding Zon making him think that it was all his imagination which was shown in the trailer. Later on, they admitted feelings for each other and boom, ending. I like how they've included Zol in this and gave her a bit more screentime but I wish that they could have also shown Saifah's parents and their opinions regarding the relationship because we all know that in WhyRU, Zon's parents approved.
As a fan of Mii2, I was expecting a lot more from them given that they were really interesting in WhyRU and this mini-series took place after ep8 which is their performance right? So I thought I was going to get to know them more and see them progress in their relationship but what I got was fluff. I love cuteness but it doesn't satisfy me as much. I want more dramatic scenes, I want them to show their deep love for each other, how they overcome problems that come their way. Because in reality, none or very few of that happens. And that is my problem with some BL Series today, it lacks in delivering and portraying real-life problems of LGBTQ+ community. I love their cuteness here but I really thought that this was just fanservice and compiled cute moments of Jimmy and Tommy.
Music
Didn't hear a lot and most of their songs were from Season 1.
Acting
Jimmy and Tommy can act. And they really portrayed Saifah and Zon really well. For their acting range, I want to see varieties of emotions in their faces. I want them to act in something dramatic because. to be honest, I am not a big fan of their crying scenes in this mini-series.
Their chemistry is good and they are cute together so I would love to see them in other beautiful future projects. And Tommy is a great singer too.
Overall
This series was a bit of a disappointment for me because I was just expecting more due to the fact that their screentime was short in WhyRU. There's a lot more that would have been good to the plot and even though I haven't read the novel, I believe that this series still has a lot to offer but they failed to deliver it in this mini-series. I view this as fanservice for since it is full of fluff and cuteness. I love MII2 but I generally did not like this. The trailer hyped me but it was so far from the real story. So it is up to you if you want to give it a try.
