This remake/new season did not get off on a good start. The cast was changed after the old cast did a lot of promotion for the new season. I understand the fans' frustration over the sudden change, but that does not justify sending hate towards the new cast. The new cast has done nothing wrong and do not deserve the hate they have been getting. With that being said let's get on with the actual review.
I will admit that I did not have high expectations at all when I decided to give this remake a chance. I had my problems with the old series, and I didn't think this remake would be much better. But I am glad to say that I was wrong, this series and the three couples stole my heart.
Story - The story was pretty much pure fluff and I loved it. It will not be everyone's cup of tea but if you love sweet fluffy stories without any major conflicts this series is for you. Although some parts of the story felt a bit rushed due it having just 12 episodes. Some of the weakest parts were probably the Phayo scenes it feels like the director did not quite know what to do with the couple. It's forgivable though since the purpose of this season was to give MingKit and ForthBeam their deserved closure. Still, Phayo has a special place in my heart and I loved them although most people would disagree with me. More episodes would have allowed the director and writer to dive deeper into each of the story arcs. Despite that, they managed to make me love and root for all the three couples. Not a lot of BL series have managed to do that. Thankfully we get to see more of them in season 3.
Acting - All the main actors are rookies which is why some scenes are a bit awkward. The acting way better this season, they all looked comfortable with each other and the kissing scenes are some of the best ones in BL. They truly outdid themselves, especially the new Phana and Wayo. Ben seems much more comfortable then Godt was and I think he portrays a much better Phana. The acting of the six moons was what made this series wonderful.
Music/Production - I do not have a lot of complains regarding music and production. The music was good rather forgettable but it did not feel out of place in any of the scenes. The lighting and the audio were much better this time around.
Overall this series is great and I really recommend you to give it a chance. I can't wait to see what's in store for season 3 and I really hope they won't change the cast this time.
