Slightly better, but not by much
This was fairly obviously an attempt by the production team to fix the problems that caused the barrage of complaints about 2gether. It was a good try, but it still didn't fix everything.
I don't believe these two are a couple. I know they love each other, miss each other and are happy with each other, and they definitely communicate with each other better than some couples in BL I've seen, but they are still two of the most chaste young men I've ever seen on screen.
Someone tell Sarawat that "I'll kiss you til you moan" implies actually kissing. This series, like the last, has exactly one kiss between Tine and Sarawat and, whilst it's better than the one from the first series, it's still not exactly filled with passion.
I know this, and 2gether, were made at an awkward time. The pandemic has f*ck%d everything, but I've seen other BL made during the same time period that manage to have more than just one awkward kiss. And some were made in Thailand, even.
I really, really wish that production companies would stop hiring actors who won't commit to the roles, and that actors wouldn't take roles they know they aren't going to be able to fully commit to and aren't comfortable in.
Because it's clear that's what's happened here. Bright clearly doesn't want to be kissing Win. Win seems a little more comfortable with it, and I suspect he'd probably be better if he wasn't acting with Bright but that's what he's got to work with.
I did like this better than 2gether, and I enjoyed seeing more of Phukong and Mil and them having an actual relationship. Green and Dim were very funny and sweet together, even when they were arguing and Type and Man made a lot of strides in their relationship and had several mature and honest talks which impressed me.
This has slightly more rewatch value than the first series and it's worth a watch if you haven't yet.
All in all, not a bad series.
