Worth watching
First time reviewing, but after reading all the others, I just had to add my two cents.
I watched 2 Moons and 2 Moons 2 back to back. I read all the reviews, spoilers included, to prepare me for the best and the worst of both shows. This is what I have to say about it all.
They are both enjoyable!
2 Moons, for the short series that it was, was a great show! The actors pulled off their roles well and though the story seemed to drag on just a bit, it was a decent story for what was a good 1st season.
Now, 2 Moons 2 is a sequel. But not really.
First, the main cast has completely changed. I heard it was because of production/studio issues. Second, 2 Moons 2 is more of a remake, the first 4 episodes are essentially the whole of "Season 1" smooshed together and retold.
(And it's not bad.) The only problem I had with 2 Moons was the pacing, it seemed to drag on for me in places. 2 Moons 2 took the major plot points and moved the story along well.
After the remade first 4 eps, we get into the rest of the story. Pha and Wayo are a cute couple, although they have jealousy issues and to make matters worse, they are given antagonists that are a bit too creepy for me. I found Park really stalker-esque right away and honestly had a hard time watching any scenes with him in them. However, I did not appreciate Wayo's behavior towards him in episode 11. All he should've done was talk out his anger/jealousy issues with Pha instead of try to use a psycho as revenge. Communication, people! Solves a lot of problems. Pring is just a bi**h.
Ming and Kit were a bit of a treat for me. I loved Kim and Copter in the first roles, so I was hesitant to see how the new actors would fill their shoes. I LOVED them!! ? These two were perfect for the roles and played them sooo much better than I thought they would. Ming, being the confident man that he is, went after Kit with all he had and though Kit kept up his stance that he just wasn't interested, everyone could tell that he definitely was. I liked how Ming did, in fact, back off for a bit, showing Kit that he really did have feelings for him instead of being a huge pain in the ass by constantly not taking "no" for an answer. When they met Kit's family, I honestly thought it was going to be so much worse than it was, (still hate Kit's brother though) and the sweetness they shared was absolutely adorable.
Now, onto couple three, Beam and Forth. Okay, first things first, WHAT?!
I really didn't understand where this couple came from at all. Are they cute together? Yes.
Are they both hot as s**t? Yes. But falling in love immediately after a drunken one night stand? Not very believable to me. Forth originally liked Wayo, love triangle ensued, then choice made, Forth was out, but still a friend. Makes sense. Then all of a sudden we have a long time secret crush of Beam to Kit?! Nothing leading into it...no clues....it was so out there, all I could do was shake my head and just keep watching to see what happened next. Then the infamous night of drinking to drown their sorrows of lost love only to fall into each others arms and come out the next morning with one of them suddenly ready to make a go at a new relationship. This whole storyline had me confused. Don't get me wrong...they were cute together and in the end, I truly enjoyed watching their scenes, but I just had a hard time believing the whole thing. (BTW: Forth goes shirtless a couple of times....so feel free to enjoy that!!)
The fact that they made each couple different was a plus for me. I prefer a multi-couple show where they each have something special.
Pha and Wayo: "unrequited" high school crush
Ming and Kit: Younger pursues older, the chase
Beam and Forth: sexy times and friends to lovers.
The ending had me wanting to outright kill Park. Not kidding, I felt murderous rage. I knew he was a psycho and I can only hope he gets a damn good punishment in the next season. That punch was so not enough.
In conclusion, this show is definitely worth watching, whether you like it or hate it in the end, is entirely up to you, but for me, overall it was pretty good. I will probably go back and rewatch it after a while.
I am definitely interested in seeing 2 Moons 3 when it comes out, although, I haven't heard too much about it yet.
