2 Moons 3 The Series (2022)

Anything that comes from you, I will always like it.

Well, this series is not as bad as some of the reviews made it seemed to be.

Given that most of the lead actors are in their first drama series, they did a pretty decent job.

Initially I thought that the series would take off where it ended from the last Moon series. Not much was explained about the incident involving Wayu. This series basically focus more on Tatch and Lom and the usual plot from enemies to friends.

What I like about most was that Lom was not easily swayed by rumors about Tatch. He made his own decisions and continued to support and trust Tatch. That, I believe, is how much Lom treasures Tatch.

As for the other 3 couples, Pha/Wayu, Forth/Beam & Ming/Kit, they were not given much of the screen time. When the spotlight was on them, it was mostly on some silly jealousy and squabbling. What a waste of opportunities not to give them a better storyline. Their looks, treat for the eyes though!

Quite refreshing to have a new pair of twins, Plai & Pan, besides AJ & JJ.

Oh, I will have to mention that there were quite a bit of bed scenes. They were sweet but not enough passion to show their thirst for one another.

Nonetheless, it is still a good watch if you have the time to spare.

6 dead weights, dragged across finish line by generic fluff

So, how did this season fare compared to the previous ones?

Not well.

From the production side of things, it's a mess. The beginning is so cringey many will give up just during that one infodump scene. It's basically a recap of first two seasons, in under 5 minutes. You don't need a degree in filmmaking to figure out what a horrible idea that was. And while it gets noticably better after that, it also consistently stays below average during the whole show. Editing feels kinda random at times and sound's an experience you have to live through to fully understand.

Glaucoma filter is back and working overtime during all NC scenes (which are fairly frequent in later half of the show for the new couple). Trully, you could watch this in 480p and see little to no difference from switching to 1080p.

Writing is harder to judge because of spotty fanmade subtitles. Official subtitles from WeTV might be a bit better, though. At the very least, I have seen no mention of the famous 'booby prize' in official international release. Yes, you heard that right. Similar to gems like Love Stage!! (2022), this also got a quiet official release once it ended and everyone interested in it has already found other ways to watch it. Am I too stupid to understand this ingenious marketting move, or were they just THAT SCARED of backlash from international fans? I guess we will never know.

The storyline itself is really weak and generic. It's also 99% divorced from the first two seasons, so there is no need to continue watching forthe 2moons franchise' sake. The "original 6 moons" don't feel like their established characters at all and have very limited presence in this season. What little screentime they have is either useless drama or a stock bacground of pretty faces. The most obvious lacking bond is between Ming and Wayo, who feel like strangers to each other this season (in stark contrast to first, and partially even second season). There's no need to go deeper into whatever they'd been doing, and you would do well to just skip all the scenes focused on them.

There are two new leads - Lomnaw (Mark Vachara) and Tarntatch (Danny Bandit). And while Mark's acting tends to be so quirky it really takes you out of the story at times, Danny is shining brightly enough to almost warrant watching this season just for him. Their story is basic, but cute. On its own, it would make for a fairly standard BL romance like Ai Long Nhai and My Engineer. Bundled up with 2moons curse, though? It's not getting any favors from the "established" franchise or production house. Many people will skip it just for that, and I wouldn't really blame them. With the amount of BLs releasing right now, it's not great enough to skip the queue for anyone imo. The whole branding and unimportant "side" characters are a baggage no one needs when selling mediocrity.

As a whole, this season provided no continuation of the original story, no conclusion for the established pairings, and it didn't even manage to stand on its own. What good did it bring to the table, then?

1. Nice OST. A real tear-jerker at times. Apparently no matter how far the franchise falls, their music choices will still prey on my nostalgia-ridden heart. Especially the "เครมั้ย - MASTER (Lonely Season)".

2. Eye candy. To put it bluntly, I highly doubt those actors were chosen based on their acting abilities. But hey! I ain't complaining. The new Beam (Payu Khunnaphat Jaroenchim) is so adorable you might want to suffer through some Forth-Beam drama just to see his pretty face. Hopefully he'll get another chance to shine, because he was sorely underused in this. And I might even be blackmailed into watching more of Toon-Tong (Lomnaw's friends), though preferably with different production.

3. It has used up MV's last chance of profiting from 2moons' franchise (I trully hope so).

In the end, do I think it's worth watching? Honestly, no. But it's not the worst time-waster this year. Just skip the OG 6 moons' scenes and don't expect much from what's left. I would give it 7/10 points for watchability, but that would be an insult to equally rated 2moons2 which at least tried to continue the original story with dignity. Hence it's 6.5 for meaningless and lowkey insulting, though not devastating adaptation.

BTS is more interesting

I watched the first two seasons and half of this. The first cast was the best, but at least we can see some new pretty faces in the second. It was a good opportunity for newcomers in the industry to show themselves. At the third season everybody knew that the project will flop, so they cast from the bottom of the barrel. I still wandering how Lom's actor got this role, because he is average looking and lack of talent, but still got the most screentime. The old couples barely get a story, so it's disappointing. I heard, that the company would like to make a forth season. They should make a story about the producton and the actors, because what happened Behind The Scenes, much more interesting, than the plot.

On ne va pas se mentir, si cette série ne s’appelait pas « 2Moons », elle aurait eu un plus grand succès, car les gens s’attendent à une suite. Cependant, bien que les trois couples originaux aient parfois leur moment à l’écran, ils n’ont plus rien à voir avec ce qu’ils étaient précédemment. Que ce soit les acteurs, au niveau de leur personnalité ou l’histoire qu’ils reprennent maladroitement, il vaut mieux penser que ce n’est plus Forth, Beam, Kit, Ming, Pha et Yo. D’ailleurs, l’histoire ne recommence pas à partir du drame de la saison précédente. Il n’est expliqué que plus tard et malheureusement, ce n’est pas convaincant. Ça sent le manque d’inspiration.

Si vous voulez apprécier convenablement cette « suite », alors voyez-là comme une fanfiction. 2Moons s’est achevé avec la deuxième saison. Ainsi, vous serez moins critique devant les prestations maladroites ou la production de bas étage qui rappellent ce qu’un groupe d’étudiants en cinéma aurait pu faire avec les moyens du bord et beaucoup de volonté. Ils ne semblaient pas avoir un budget décent et ça se voit. Même le concours semble avoir été tourné en accéléré afin que les spectateurs ne puissent pas déceler à quel point c’était mal fait.

Néanmoins, il est facile de passer un agréable moment devant cette série. Si on passe outre l’histoire bâclée, les prestations moyennes et le faible budget afin de seulement se concentrer sur l’agréable chimie des acteurs principaux et les moments mignons, alors ça vaut le coup.

Mon avis sur chacun des couples est la suivante :

Phana (Hue Chasit) et Wayo (Park Anantadej): J’ai trouvé que ce Pha a été l’un des plus réussis. Charismatique, séduisant et attachant, il aurait aisément pu être l’acteur d’origine pour ce rôle. J’avais détesté celui qui l’interprétait dans la première saison (God Itthipat), mais adoré celui de 2Moons 2 (Ben Benjamin). Hue Chasit se retrouve donc en seconde place dans mon cœur et ce, uniquement parce qu’il n’a pas eu suffisamment de moments pour briller à l’écran. J’ai trouvé que son jeu d’acteur a été l’un des plus forts de cette saison. Malheureusement, l’interprétation de Wayo a été un lamentable échec. Si je trouvais ce personnage mignon auparavant, cette fois, je l’ai détesté. On aurait dit un gamin qui fait des crises pour rien et il manque cruellement de personnalité.

Ming (Eiffel Chris) et Kit (Toey Nathapong) : Soyons honnête, AUCUN acteur n’a réussi à reprendre convenablement ces rôles depuis le passage de Copter et Kimmon. J’ai finalement pu m’attacher à ceux qui ont repris le flambeau dans la saison 2 (Joong Archen et Nine Kornchid), bien qu’une partie de mon cœur n’ait jamais pu accepter ce changement drastique (Le Ming de Kimmon était hilarant. J’en étais accro), mais cette fois, c’était horrible. Ce n’était pas Ming et Kit. La personnalité de ces personnages a été jetée à la poubelle, remplacée par un amas décourageant de jalousie incessante. C’était lourd. De plus, leur jeu d’acteur était si mauvais que lors de leurs disputes ridicules, je ne ressentais qu’une forte envie de me moquer. Il vaut mieux ignorer qu’ils ont tenté de reprendre ce couple.

Beam (Payu Khunnaphat) et Forth (Prame Pumipat): C’était mon couple favori dans la seconde saison. J’ai adoré leur histoire, donc c’est avec impatience que je voulais les voir à nouveau. Heureusement, ils ont été l’un des duos les plus forts. Prame a bien su rentrer dans la peau du séduisant rebelle amoureux à Beam. J’aurais aimé que la série leur accorde un peu plus de temps et leur offre une véritable histoire qui n’a aucun lien avec la jalousie.

Tarntatch (Danny Bandit) et Lomnaw (Mark Vachara): J’ai gardé le meilleur pour la fin. Ce nouveau couple a volé la vedette grâce à sa magnifique chimie et sa belle relation. Ce que j’ai particulièrement apprécié, c’est la façon dont les personnages sont à l’aise pour se coller et n’ont pas honte de s’afficher ensemble. Ça m’a toujours énervé de voir des couples qui ont honte de s’embrasser la joue après deux ans de relation. Eux, on sent que c’est vrai. Ils communiquent bien et ont une relation à la fois amicale et amoureuse qui est superbe à regarder. Avec eux, il n’y a aucun drame inutile. Bien que Mark ait été un peu maladroit dans son interprétation au début, il se rattrape rapidement. Danny et Mark pourraient aisément devenir un duo emblématique du BL thaï s’ils arrivent à décrocher des rôles plus célèbres.

Mention spéciale à Toon et Tong que j’ai trouvées très mignons. J’aurais aimée voir la réaction de leur meilleur ami suite à leur baiser.

Let's be honest, was refreshing

Even with the same boring elements of the seconds 2 moons this history right here was refreshing, the Tarn and Lom romance was good, I was really scared of the series turn out to be a new 2 moon story but this thank god was controled. In this series we focus on the new and pretty new couple, all the actors was good, and again with this mix college, slow dramas, a lot of money and now with 2 more handsome and funny couples we see another 2 moons, they won't be like the original because they not even try, they are not bad like that 2moons 2 they just the good, light and funny new side of this history.

Not as bad as people make it out to be

Before i say anything about this I should make it clear that i didnt watch the first and second seasons. Actually i dropped the first season, found out about the drama and skipped straight to the season 3.
Its not as terrible as everyone makes it seem. The story is very typical however the enemies to lovers troupe is seemingly well done.
Theres no abuse between the ML even though their "enemies". They both always respect each other and even their bickering sometimes made me smile. The relationship between the ML is very realistic even if the NC are a bit wooden.
Honestly Ive seen worse and this story if watched as a stand alone isnt all that bad. I watched all 12 eps in a single day without getting bored.

Расстроена игрой Марка и Фа подобран не правильно

Я фанат всех трех лун. Все в любимые. Но только в Первой были идеальны все пары, особенно главная. А вот остальные части. Здесь, как и в 2 части, много актеров дебютантов. Во второй части главная пара, ну вообще не о чем. Спасли лакорн второстепенные особенно Павел и Дом. Здесь. Сюжет всем уже известен и надо было только раскрытие всего, что было "за кадром" Лун-2. Актерский состав знала еще до объявления о лакорне. Первый вопрос был, кого будет играть Марк и боялась, что главная роль. и вот на - именно он. Куда вы смотрели? Ну не актер он от слова совсем. Музыкант - да, певец - да, но не актер. Даже идеальная игра дебютировавшего в актерах Дэнни, не могла спасти ужасная игра Марка. Кстати Дэнни. Это реально дебют актера? Это действительно алмаз в индустрии. Тайско-голландский актер и модель, играл как профи. я бы с удовольствием перематывала много, но там был Дэнни и приходилось терпеть выкрики и ужимки Марка. Еще выделю игру Тои, Прэйма, Паю. Ребята молодцы. Роли сыграли хорошо. И без всяких ужимок, молодцы. Спасли этот лакорн. Насчет роли Фа, тоже вопрос к режиссеру - вы реально Фа так видели и зачем вы его так "усушили". Был ФА, стал худенький, совсем не ХОТ мужчина "фа"... Сюжет мне известен был, смотрела на лайте и открыла для себя четверых новых актеров, за судьбой которых буду следить и поддерживать. В любом случае ставлю высокую оценку только за открытие новых актеров, которые сыграли лучше именитых профи.

Sweet and Cute

The series is a sweet series but should be a stand a lone series and not part of the 2 moon story. The main couple are cute and sweet and have good chemistry. The rest of the cast lack the Sam chemistry that they had in season 2. I love the twins in this one bad one good ?. The storyline was good and fun but did not fit with the rest of the 2 moon series. I really wish the kept the cast from season 2 but I was not at all a fan of any of the side story. Tat and Lom are the only ones that fit and had most of the storyline and sadly all the other characters were put for dumb background and they should still have more storyline that were not cleaned up but put into one episode each, which was annoying. The series should have been it's one series would have made more sense. Overall good for start actors.

2 Moons: The Ambassador, Ambassador of/for what

First its disturbing that the previous actors don´t participate any longer ... was the story too ... boring or unimportant to be even told / written?
And the previous cast did good not to join in this production, as the story seems silly and for what reason, not only in this show, is there this overboarding super dooper gay clichee, of wet heteros, acting actor? That character is a slap in the face of any LGBTQIAplus ... sorry ... sometime gay should only write gay stories. I know these shows aim in first place at a female audience, but this is under the gurdel and deeper.
The show is produced to cash on the previous one and failed grand ... The show is time theaft.
