Sincere Attempt

Yes I made an account just to review this show. I have been a huge 2 Moons fan in the past - some of you might remember my KimCop videos on Youtube that are now gone due to my account having been hacked ??
Anyway. This series is obviously bad - but I'm willing to give credit where it's due: the lead actors are sweet and authentic, as well as pretty, and you won't have a hard time believing they are actually head over heels for each other - though there is no real build-up or reasoning to it. They're just dating all of a sudden.
Another redeeming quality of this series is that the idea of homosexuality appears to be a lot more normalised as opposed to the previous Seasons. There's no huge coming out scenes or dramatic epiphanies. Men fall in love with each other just as a man and woman would. The second male lead, Thatch - played by Danny - is gay and he knows it and is unashamed of it - this is especially refreshing because he is the token College heartthrob types of Thai Dramas. This was a nice touch in that the setting of this season is a few years after the previous seasons, and a change in attitudes is palpable.
The show focuses of the Faculty of Agriculture and not Medicine, Science, or Engineering, as you see most of the time in Thai College-based BLs.
There are a LOT of NC scenes. Almost 50% of this show is just beautifully and creatively shot sex ? It's nice to see the cast and crew not shy around the topic a d implement it as frequently as possible, making the relationship dynamics between horny young men much more realistic.
However, the cons of the show substantially outweigh the pros.
The characters of the 6 moons are absolutely obliterated. They do not resemble the original characters in the book or even either of the two previous seasons whatsoever, save for maybe Forthbeam. It's jarring: the characters supposed to be Phana, Wayo, Ming, Kit, Forth, and Beam are not at all the characters we know. Admittedly, that's not on the actors - they've clearly tried their best, and I would love to see them in other projects. The problem is in the poor casting, lack of chemistry, and the all around side-sweeping of the characters until they seem rather pointless to the main plot.
Speaking of the plot, there barely is one. Nothing makes sense and events don't complement each other as they should. The motives and objectives of the characters are unfounded and confusing. The friendships and cliques are all over the place. I don't know if it was just me but I couldn't name a single side character until the very last episode. The whole good and evil twin plot is so, so stupid, and it's highly disappointing since the Series as a general rule handles tropes and stereotypes rather maturely.
There are random impartings of wisdom from any and all characters, and it's almost amusing.
Overall, this show is good for perhaps one casual watch, and that too for existing fans of the series. I personally don't consider a part of the "2 Moons" franchise at all; I like it better that way.I do wanna see more of Danny and Mark, preferably together.
