Make It Right 2 (2017)

Thank goddess this series has a lot of cute boys who are mostly almost naked in the first few episodes - otherwise this series will be a total waste of time.

Season 1 was fun and engaging, this one is just a snoozefest - i cant remember how many times i dozed off while watching the entire season. This whole season is a continuation of season 1 which could have been done in 1 or 2 episodes. Scenes in each episodes are stretched far too long, just boys trying to be cute, with zero sense to what they were saying and doing.
There were so many things to hate:
1) almost all students in this boys school are gay with very few straight characters who dont even matter;
2) gay teacher who engages in online chat with student;
3) forced coupling (lukmo and yok);
4) oversexed high school student (book and frame);
5) i thought the jean issue would never end;
6) inconsistent characters (Nine, Rodtang, Fing)
7) absent parents who allow high school kids to live on their own with almost no supervision, parents who let other people care for their kid in the hospital, and those parents who are present but were mostly annoyance;
8) did i say the whole season was stretched far too long, the pacing was so slow, there were so many filler moments and just boys staring and sweettalking to each other that doest add to the whole story. By the end of this series, im also almost annoyed with the 2 main leads.

Just run away, skip this series. Just read the plot summary and be done with it, no need to torture yourself by watching this.

Im only giving this an overall 5.5 just because Ohm and Boom are so cute.

I had high hopes for Season 2, but it's just not doing it for me. The acting did improve with some of the characters, but I can definitely tell that there is a lot of Pandering to the BL obsessed fans to the point that the story lines aren't developed quite well. Add to this that the one dimensional characters are getting more screen time than the more complex characters for the sake of creating "drama" takes away from what Season 1 had going for itself. Honestly, this series could have touched on so many topics concerning young men but chose to ignore real serious ones from Season 1. Overall, it's not a bad series, but it definitely lost the charm it had, at least for me.

The characters are, surely, lovely. But a second season is always a risk for production: it does not guarantee a good outcome. In the case of "Make it right", the second season is poor in ideas and arguments: there is not a real climax and the characters live in a perfect world where everything happens as it is expected. The drama of Book as victim of an online sex video lacks consistency, logic and deep insight. It remains in the despair of Frame trying to be supportive of a depressed Book, but there is not a real villain, there is not a real explanation of why it happens and there is not any further consequence. The part of Tee and Fuse is even more worrisome: there is a vain attempt of Tee to walk away from an undecided Fuse, but it is also a succession of pink scenes without emotion, real drama and interest. Other alternative stories like the one of Rodtang seems too much artificial - Rodtang was very much interesting in the first season and his first partner was more real and dominant, while this second one is too passive. If it is popular, it's not because there is a succeed in the story, but it is more for the charm of the characters, but it is as there is another director or another playwright. I hope they will not try a third season that could be more damaging especially to the actors. It would be better to see them in new productions, new adventures and new ideas.?

Better than the Original

I did like Make it Right, but there was something that shifted in Make It Right 2 that made me fall more in love with the characters than the first one ever did for me.

I want to love Book and Frame so badly, but the way they had gotten together in MIT was disgusting. Although, I liked their pairing a lot more this season since they were given an actual plot. The situation between Book and his former partner was so devastating, and Toey did an amazing job at portraying this depressed character. I broke down so hard when Frame found Book and the pills on the floor. Both actors did an incredible job and definitely deserved a pat on the back (especially for making me cry since I NEVER cry). As much as I loved them this season, I can't forget how poorly the writers treated them last season, and I still can't get behind their toxic relationship.

Mo and Yok had to be my favorite couple this season. They had such a fun comedic feel that made the series feel so much lighter. CONSENT IS SEXY. I'll never stop saying it. Yok and Mo did an incredible job at showing what actual consent before and during sex looks like. I appreciate these actors and hope to see them in future dramas.

Fuse and Tee were okay this season, nothing bad, but nothing amazing either. Fuse finally broke up with his girlfriend, so his relationship with Tee actually felt real. The confession at the beach was pure magic. I only cry during two occasions: one, coming-out scenes, and two, emotional confession scenes. I was entirely balling my eyes out again. It was impeccable, and Peak's did an awesome performance.

Overall the series was good. The situation between Wit and Yok's mom was not it. I skipped it all. Rodtang and Nine were finally given a story, but it still felt incomplete. Not that I cared, because I'm still not a fan of Beam's acting. It was a fun watch, and it kept me entertained, so I'm not disappointed at all.

I have been a strong support for Peak and Boom, I am glad and surprise Peak and Boom acting have improved so much, and also the other cast too,
Back to the story line, I can feel the strong love between Fuse and Tee and although Fuse wanted to return to Jean but I can feel he is reluctant to let Tee go, but I can understand this is not fair for Tee but sometime in life especially when coming to love, or starting to love it is always difficult to make decision so I just hope Fuse and Tee can maintain their love for each other, anyway the original theme of this movie is "I believe true love exist".
About Book and Fame they are now having love over their head, and I also hope they can stay faithful to one another.
About the author very good story line, able to express people that are in love, same couple falling in love but expressing and experiencing their love differently, I believe there are many peoples that are also going through the same thing.
lastly, to the director I believe there are many screens in the book that cannot be shown on TV but he is able to make us imagine what is going on, so I think he has done a very good job.
And to all the crews thanks for all the hard work and all the problems that they have encountered and Make It Right!
Cheer!

(HEART)

I know this may sound crazy to some of the people who have watched both seasons because I've seen some of the reviews of season 2 and most of them weren't that positive but I think I liked this season slightly better. Judge me all you want but I think I've become too attached to the characters not to include this series one my favorites list. It does have its flaws but it's such a nice show to watch! Can't I give it 10 stars because it's fun and cute?
This review will be detailed and extremely long so if you don't feel like reading it then all you need to know is: JUST GO WATH THIS SEASON BEFORE JUMPING INTO CONCLUSIONS BECAUSE NOT EVERYONE WILL HAVE THE SAME OPINION (This is not an aggressive tone, by the way. It's just meant to pop out hahaha I'm sorry if it scared you!). Some of the reviews were pretty harsh and if I had them prevent me from watching this season then I wouldn't have fallen in love (even more) with the characters and the cast! So I encourage you to watch it and judge it by yourself ^^

Okay, now, the review.

STORY: The plot was somewhat frustrating when it came to the main couples, Tee & Fuse and Frame & Book. They both had an interesting story going on but who wasn't as well developed as it could have been, in my opinion. On the other hand, I saw some improvement in the secondary couples! My favorite was Mo & You. Such a cute couple! Their story warmed my heart because it was light and innocent and we weren't expecting it, were we? In the previous season I didn't really like Yok that much (I will talk about that in a second) and because of this couple thing I was finally able to understand and love him. I have to say Wit and Yok's mom's relationship was strange? I don't know, I guess it was too weird for me. I preferred Lily because their interactions were great. Nine & Rodtang were less exciting this time, maybe because Nine became too whipped for Rodtang? haha I don't know, they could have done a better job with them. I personally didn't understand the storyline involving Fuse's sister; once again, it was kind of useless. But while these "useless" plot lines bothered me in the last season, this time I actually enjoyed them a little bit more.

CHARACTER'S, CAST AND ACTING: I fell in love with the cast. They're all handsome, young and talented. They improved a lot from season 1. The kisses were still awkward, specially between Tee and Fuse. I do think the best "intimate" moments were between Book and Frame and that's all thanks to Ohm (Frame), who seemed very comfortable with kissing Toey's cheek and hugging him and all that jazz. Frame is hands down one of my biggest bl characters crushes. So sweet, so understanding, so fbhvrhgjvbjvb. He made me giggle and smile throughout the whole series. Book on the other hand... I just didn't love him that much in this season. Of course he went through a lot but it didn't feel like he was struggling that much because of what happened to him; it felt like he was just being grumpy. I think Toey could have done a better job portraying the character. It felt as if Ohm was carrying the couple (and the whole show sometimes) despise not being the most experienced actor. Peak and Tee are good actors but sometimes it was a little TOO much: Peak/Fuse gave that whipped smile way too much, Tee/Boom was too calm when he could have been, you know, less calm, their kisses were way too awkward. I did like them and I'm crazy about the actors (they're so cute!!) but season 1 was a better season for them. Fuse frustrated me and I have to admit I started shipping Tee and Sid! Sid was such a sweet person and was so well portrayed! Lukmo and Yok were SO GOOD! Not perfect but definitely the biggest surprise for me. Lily... I LIKED LILY SO MUCH. I wish they had developed her story with Wit more. The antagonists were pretty good as well. Nine and Rodtang... ahhhh they were kind of forgettable, even if they were very cute together.

MUSIC: I liked every single song in this season. Every. Single. Song. It's definitely worth the 10 stars for me!

REWATCH VALUE: I would 100% rewatch this show. Both seasons.

OVERALL: While this might not be the best drama out there, it owned my heart and I have accepted it. I am in love with the actors (slightly obsessed) and I'm just so happy they're my age! I follow them on social media (: This show was based on fan service but it was more than that, at least to me. I'm happy I decided to watch it!

For bad boy gone good there's Frame and Book...Like seriously guys you got to watched this

At first I couldn't get through the second episode. Jean AGAIN? WTF? Why on earth do all these crappy dramas have to put a girl between the main BL couple? Especially if it's the second season! Why can't gay characters just be gay? Or if they're bi, or pan, or whatever they are, not be so indecisive and self-destructive. Being bi doesn't mean you have to hop back and forth between two different relationships, it just means you can love people of more than one gender. How can anyone invest anything into Tee and Fuse after the absolute emotional torture Fuse put Tee through? Also, how can you have any respect for Tee for putting up with any of this? He should have walked away and found someone else a long time ago...

There was so much extraneous time-filler in this series that it felt like a shameless cash-grab. I had to set it on 2x or even skip some scenes that were just too much torture to watch.

Going back to it later, my reaction didn't change much - Book & Frame are enjoyable largely because of Ohm, but the storyline is bad, and the exploitative use of very troubling events without examining them with any depth or there being any consequences was actually disturbing.

Anyway, all the actors have been improving, and they're nice to look at, but I can't express how disappointed I am in this season.

If you like the actor who plays Frame (Ohm Pawat), then I recommend He's Coming to me, where he's amazing. And maturing well, I must say. He's also great in The Shipper, although mostly straight in that series.

DON'T BOTHER

Pretty much a waste of time. Rehashed a lot of what went on in Season 1, as if no progress had been made. Repeating the same lines of dialogue 100 times over the 10 eps (yes, there are 14 eps, but the last 4 are even worse than the rest and all you get it "I will stay with you forever." "And I will stay with you forever." "That's good, cuz I will stay with you forever." "Thank goodness, because I want to stay with you forever." ad nauseum for 4 eps. AGH!).

The Tee/Fuse story is the same as Season 1. And, as in season 1, their relationship and attitudes fluctuate all over the place for no apparent reason and never truly follow the emotional journey in a realistic fashion. One minute I'm happy and head over heels, the next I'm confused and conflicted, then ecstatic again. I declare my love, then go on a date with a girl, then pine over the boy, then insist the boy be with me, then go with the girl. It made no sense.

The Book/Frame story was a little shocking. To think that two teenage high school boys would live together and ultimately propose marriage was quite a stretch. They have a sweet, tender relationship and Frame is perhaps one of the best boyfriends in BL history, but I was uncomfortable with the adult nature of their relationship. The sex-tape storyline, while relevant, was not handled well. The attempted suicide was handled HORRIBLY. This is irresponsible of the writer/director/producers to introduce as serious a subject like gay teen suicide, and then not really dig into the underlying issues. And to think that something this serious can be resolved in 1 episode with one simple line like "I feel better now." is inexcusable.

The Mo/Yok relationship is so ridiculous that it can't be taken seriously. And the Nine/Rod relationship is as if Season 1 didn't exist and only gets the occasional scene, so that it is not satisfying in any way.

I was also uncomfortable with all the shirtless scenes. These are teenage boys. While I want them to kiss and hug and even discuss more intimate subjects, it felt very invasive and exploitative to have them half-naked so much. Was it necessary?

Scripting was the worst. Dialogue went nowhere. Characters did not evolve. I actually think the acting got a little worse or maybe it was just more apparent that the actors are not very good, because I've watched 25 episodes and seen no improvement. Or mayeb it seemed worse because the script was so bad it gave them no opportunity to really show their acting skills. Ohm as Frame probably does the best job. He's got such charisma. No wonder he's gone on to get awards.

Don't waste your time on this one.

Watched the FrameBook Cut of Make It Right beforehand, so I watched the 'Book & Frame Full Story Part 2' on YouTube for the sequel season. And I musrt say that Ohm was FINE in this series! It's amazing to see how hot he became in only one year! And his hair! Beautiful!

FrameBook's story is relatively tame in this series. No conflict or tension. Everything is amiable until Book's sex tape was leaked. This plot point didn't feel natural. It felt shoe-horned in to create random drama. Like his ex just so happened to be drunk one night where someone took his phone and released the sex tape. How coincidental!

Anyways, Book and Frame's relationship gets quite dull as Frame continues to try to reach out and help Book, but Book pulls himself away. The story doesn't make much sense either. It was very manipualtive to try to create drama that feels unearned and fake. The sex tape gets released. Book becomes depressed and pushes Frama away. They reconcile. Book tries to kill himself. His parents apologizes. They hug it out. A random person flirts with Book. The end. Book was so annoying in this series. Book doesn't deserve Frame at all! Not wanting Frame to kiss him in public when he literally had a sex tape leaked. Anyways, Frame deserved better!

I freely admit that I watched this drama mainly for the TeeFuse pairing and skipped pretty much everything else. Yes, FrameBook was also interesting but I felt that their storyline dragged a bit? Not that TeeFuse’s didn’t have its dull bits, too, sure. I think that 14 episodes was way, way too many and it should’ve been slashed to 10, 12 tops.

What fascinated me the most was Tee. He always seemed so… melancholy. He never got mad at Fuse, not even when Fuse decided to stay with Jean, he even promised to remain friends with Fuse, given a little time. And he never talked to anyone about how he felt, about his mother’s much younger and cheating lover, about Seed and his advances, about the whole Fuse situation, he kept it all in. I don’t know what it was about the actor playing Tee, Boom Krittapak, but to me he felt almost… ethereal here. Guest starring as Tee in WRU this year, he felt much, much more solid, real.

But regarding FrameBook, I truly adored the last scene with them, when Frame made the video to remind himself of what was really important in life: protecting the one he loved. That was incredibly sweet. And also natural, considering all that happened to Book in MIR2!
