Ben did a really great job as Pha, but personally, I prefered God's take on Pha. It's just that coldness that God had in 2M before we find out he liked Yo for a long time, wasn't something Ben pulled off really well, which can be a good thing too (don't get me wrong). I think in a fandom where he was replacing someone else is a huge responsibility and its a huge risk, and Ben did an AMAZING job. So Kudos to him.
Earth as Yo, again I think I personally prefered Bass as Yo. However, Both Bass and Earth have this innocence about them that makes them very endearing. I think Earth's Yo had a much longer story Arc than Bass did, so we got to know Yo a lot better through him.
Joong as Ming. Ming was my favorite character from 2 Moons, and I LOVED Kim's portrayal of Ming, so for me to be so torn about which Ming I like better is really a compliment to Joong. He was so adorable as Ming - especially once the S1 recap was finished.
Nine as Kit. Kit was my second favorite character from 2 moons, and I dare say I think I might prefer Nine as Kit, even though Copter was beautiful as Kit with his dimples and they way his jealousy was so green in the face of Ming's Ex. Nine brought a vulnerability to Copter. I think Nine is amazing. He is such a talented actor. I hope to see him in a lot of dramas in the future, hopefully as the main lead soon.
Dome as Beam. Beam had a much longer and more "meatier" part this season, so it's really hard to say if Tee could have pulled it off. But Dome was outstanding. I loved him with his "I'm such a manly man"ness followed by his confusion about his feelings towards his friend, and finally when he and Forth get together I was so happy.
Pavel as Forth - I really liked Pavel's take on Forth. He wasn't quite the clean cut Forth that I saw in S1. He seemed more rugged and badboy. I think my favorite part was when he goes "I don't do One Night Stands" or whatever. I loved that. Mad respect, bro. I do think Tae could have pulled off badboy!Forth. But Pavel and his tattoo were very hot. <3 Pavel's Forth is my second favorite character in 2M2 (Ming is still my favorite, Beam and Kit are tied for third place).
I find the Ming/Kit and Forth/Beam storylines to be much more interesting than the Pha/Yo one. Maybe because you see these characters fall in love with each other (even with Ming, even though he's been in love with Kit since the 9th Grade, he has to work really hard to get Kit to accept him and his love). The Pha/Yo storyline is boring in comparison they both loved each other for years and were too scared to say anything (with Yo we understand because he had low self-esteem, but Pha was apparently a confident people puller). (TBH I was almost shipping Suthee/Yo this season :P Green/Earth interations were so cute.... also that ship name is so cute: GreenEarth :P)
Forth/Beam is an interesting dynamic - I quite like how they fell into bed before they fell into love - even though I'm more of a romantic. It's a very realistic take on modern relationships. And it wasn't the non-cony way of TWM. It was very much consensual (even though consent cannot be given when drunk) - and even though Beam didn't want to talk about it after the fact. But you can see that they care about each other, and you can see that Forth really doesn't want Beam to pull away from him and is willing to take responsibility. I am all about Forth/Beam. I love how committed Forth is to Beam. I love it sooooo much. I wish we could have seen Tae/Tee but I will gladly go for Pavel/Dome as Forth/Beam because they were both phenomenal! <3
Ming/Kit - I love their banter, I love their love/hate relationship. They are every OTP I have ever had. I love that Ming is shown to be this playboy type guy who has had 13 relationships, which makes Kit insecure. I love that Ming is so ONE-track mind about Kit that he doesn't even realize he's giving other people hope - because he's just so into Kit that he doesn't even care about anyone else -- and will willingly drop everyone else like a hot potato. I love that Kit falls for Ming fast and hard, even though he plays hard-to-get for a long, long time. I love everything about Ming/Kit. Whether it is KimCop or J9. I want all the Ming/Kit. <3
