For someone who doesn't like EarthMix, I did pretty good job in surviving following all their series. Don't ask me the reason, I did say everything on my previous reviews. lol

There are some special aspects that this series deserves four stars rating. They actually did awesome performances on this show. Their chemistry and the romance weren't too excessive, like they did on their previous series. I hate #OneNightStand idea of the very beginning, but turn out the story went really well from that part. I usually waiting for the main couple to be in an official relationship, but on this show I didn't have much expectation from them. By watching EarthMix together in every single day, was enough for me.

Fourth is my new favorite Thai actor! ? I fell in love with him easily, especially since they’ve been pairing him with Gemini back to back in two great series. His acting skill reminds me of Bank Thiti when He was younger. And I really want to see him more in the next BL series!

And the last one is.... watching Khaotung and First together again on this series, is a bonus. I did not see any trailer or even the poster, so when First appeared I actually can guess about his “spark” with Khaotung.

Thai series have more a "lakorn" style recently. Even though I am not a fans of that kind of style, but this series offered more than any other series that has more episodes.

I might say that I got tricked from a short video on instagram. I excited to try this series even though I knew from the beginning that this show would be such a waste. Yet, I could finish it. lol

One think that I love about this show is that chemistry between Ai and Songkhram. I profoundly in love with their relationship. But their story was awful. I don't understand how the fight between 2 dorms work, but they didn't give us any detail about the real "competition". If they tried to make such a romeo-juliet story but based on dormitory, It didn't work.

Another thing that I really hate is the behind story about Songkhram's feeling towards Ai. They told us that He's been in love with him since his first year, but I didn't see any effort from him. They even skipped those 2 years without telling us anything whatsoever.

I wish Bank and Earth had another chance in another series. They honestly deserved a great show!

Again? I really hate when I found a great series ended by force. Like, when you found an end route then you chose to jump other than find another route safely. In opinion this series needed (at least) 1 or two more episodes to finish the conflict between Guang and his family.

I could wait patiently to see Guang and Qi Zhang kiss at the end, so I really don't mind to witness about their fight. They were really cute, sweet and had a great connection amongst them.

I actually underestimate this series at the beginning. A first love story in high school? really? Then they shocked me with its simplicity.

I kept pushing away myself to watch this series at the beginning, since I heard a lot of bad reviews around. Now, I'm regret it.

This season is the sequel that I've been looking for this kind of series. I thought they're gonna be full of cringe moments like we've seen in many Asian (specifically Thai) series. But To My Star 2 proved me wrong beautifully. They made me cry from the very beginning.

I read many reviews that saying about the absurd moment in the last episode. But you know what? I've been there. I had a lover (I don't want to say any specific gender :D) then we separated for 3 years without any kind of communication. We did follow each other instagram, but did not have any interaction. Then they (He/she) came back to me without saying sorry (and I didn't say anything either). We just made appointment, we met, we kissed, we hugged and said we miss each other badly.

We didn't care at that time that any of us has a lover. We just got back like a flash. Like nothing happened for the last three years. Of course I asked they (She/he) where they went, but that's it.

So for me. That kind of bullshit that you were talking about, is absolutely possible.

There could be a lot things going on that can be extracted from this series, however with a very short duration, this series seems to cover everything up as simple as possible.

There are no significant conflicts with too many annoying characters made this show not suitable for people who can't enjoy Japanese comedy. lol

Even some characters seem very mature than the characters that they played, I feel like that Ritsu was the only perfect character to be a high school student, while others are like a new parents who have just had a toddler. ?

The opening and closing’s song of this series is the only thing that can help this netflix’s flick to boost its rating, honestly I have never skipped the intro or credits in each episode. lol

This series reminds me of He's Coming To Me, the difference is that this series tells about ghost a who couldn’t go to their "realm" while He's Coming To Me is more about the one that couldn’t (or more accurately have not) be reincarnated for some reason.

To be honest, this series shattered the Thai “ghost” image that I had learned from He's Coming to me. From the way they change clothes, to their appearance in front of humans. But, slowly I realized that this series is not about reincarnation, so I finally accepted the fairness even though it was still beyond my senses.

If we talked about acting, Nut actually is not a new artist in the BL series, but his ability showed just like his co-stars (Plan).

Another thing that bothered me so much that I dropped the rating of this film in terms of the rewatch value which is because of at the end of the episode, this series has lost its way on how to improve it properly. This is the second Nut’s series that I've watched, and I still don't like it. :(

In Indonesian:
Seri ini mengingatkanku sama He's coming to me, perbedaannya adalah kalau seri ini bercerita tentang hantu yang tidak bisa pergi ke "alamnya" sementara He's Coming To Me lebih membahas tentang hantu yang tidak (lebih tepatnya belum) bisa reinkarnasi karena suatu alasan tertentu.

Sejujurnya, series ini menghancurkan image “hantu” thailand yang telah aku pelajari dari He’s Coming to me. Dari mulai cara mereka berganti pakaian, hingga kemunculannya dihadapan manusia. Tapi, perlahan aku sadar kalau series ini bukan membahas tentang reinkarnasi, jadi kewajaran akhirnya bisa aku terima meskipun masih berada diluar akal sehatku.

Kalau kita membahas masalah akting, sebenarnya Nut bukanlah artis yang baru dalam dunia series BL akan tetapi kemampuan seperti sama saja dengan lawan mainnya (Plan).

Satu lain yang amat mengganggu saya sehingga saya menjatuhkan rating film ini dari sisi rewatch valu terletak pada akhir episode, series ini seolah kehilangan arah bagaimana cara mengakhirinya dengan baik. Ini series keduanya Nut yang saya tonton, dan saya tetap tidak menyukainya. :(

Seperti kuduga, drama korea genre apapun eksekusinya ya tetep ala drakor. lol

Sayangnya kecintaan gw sama hal terkait zombie, membuat gw tahan sampai habis akan drama-drama tak penting yang dihadirkan dengan adegan2 dramatisir ala drama korea pada umumnya.

Gw gak mau spoiler, tapi pembunuhan beberapa karakter yang terkesan sia-sia menjadi satu kelamahan serial ini. Padahal pembangunan (eh pengembangan) karakter sedari pilot episode yang begitu kental terasa hampa gitu aja demi menampilkan sosok sosok diadegan terakhir sebagai “karakter terkuat”. *fyuh*

Tapi gw harap banget netflix gak cancel serial ini, biar bagaimanapun series ini layak buat ada sequelnya.

Series korea terbodoh yang pernah gw tonton. Dengan ide yang cemerlang seharusnya series ini bisa menjadi sajian yang istimewa buat marathon sepanjang holidays ini tapi apadaya skrip2 tolol yang tak tertolong mengharuskan gw menyetop series ini diawal episode 6.

Dengan premis yang cerdas, seharusnya series ini bisa lebih ciamik kemasannya tanpa ada embel2 menjijikan.

Sehabis episode 3, jujur aja gw bingung ini series mau dibawa kemana. Karena seharusnya kalo ditelisik lebih, series ini bisa menjadi lebih chaos pas dibagian akhir episode 3 itu.

Ah sudahlah.

*terpaksa review pake bahasa indonesia, biar puas* :”

The tempting pilot turned out to be just a sweetener. The next episodes seems to be “running in place”, especially after episode 4. *yawning*

The love triangle that I hoped is never existed, they were just teasing without further execution. the story of the three of them, if it explored, could be an interesting thing to follow till last second.

In Indonesian:
Pilot yang menggoda ternyata hanya pemanis belaka. Episode berikutnya seperti berjalan ditempat, terlebih setelah lebih dari 4 episode.

Cinta segitiga yang saya harapkan tidak pernah ada, mereka hanya sekedar teasing tanpa dieksekusi lebih lanjut. Padahal kisah mereka bertiga kalo digali bisa jadi satu hal yang menarik untuk diikuti.

After dozens of series from the philippines, finally they have something good to watch.

I almost gave up on filipino series (at some point), but suddenly the offered this series with a free trial for a whole month in IwantTFC. So yes, I tried and I like it.

For me, this is the best filipino series of the year (so far). I am still waiting for gameboys season 2!

And as usual, filipino series always entertained me with their songs. Those original soundtracks still ringing in my head.

First of all, I really want to say: “That was a bad way to end a series!” :@

The story of 2 men raising children is nothing new actually, but this series manages to pack it up pretty well.

Although in the journey there are many things that are not really important to be exposed too long, coupled with cinematography that seem immature. Make this series looks like a “short time project” with minimal costs.

However, a pleasant soundtrack is one of the positive thing about this series.

In Indonesian:
Sebuah cara yang buruk untuk mengakhiri sebuah serial.

Cerita tentang 2 orang pria yang membesarkan anak bukanlah hal yang baru, akan tetapi series ini berhasil mengemasnya dengan cukup baik.

Walaupun dalam perjalanannya banyak hal-hal yang sebenarnya tidak begitu penting untuk bisa diexpose terlalu panjang, ditambah dengan pengambilan gambar yang terkesan tidak matang. Membuat series ini nampak seperti sebuah project saja dengan minimnya biaya.

Namun, soundtrack yang begitu enak didengar menjadi satu hal positif dari series ini.

When James appeared in the first episode, I immediately felt confident that this sequel would go very well. However, what happened is.... the other episodes actually melted down to the end. It turns out that the power of the stories in the first season are still unbeatable.

Although it cannot be denied that Kitty's acting is still extraordinary, but somehow I felt that there is something missing that I didn't get from this season like what I felt in the previous one.

It’s not bad, at all. It juts....

In Indonesian:
Saat kehadiran James pada episode pertama, saya langsung merasa yakin bahwa sequel ini akan berjalan sangat baik. Namun apadaya, episode lainnya justru melemag hingga akhir. Ternyata kekuatan cerita pada season 1 masih tidak bisa dikalahkan.

walaupun tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwa akting Kitty memang masih luar biasa, namun entah kenapa saya merasa ada yang tidak saya dapatkan dari season ini seperti apa yang saya rasa pada season sebelumnya.

Although not all the stories seem special, but some episodes cannot be denied that they were really great.

Even though the quality of the acting of some actors were just mediocre, however most of them were extraordinary.

The music that played on some “critical” moments was so "beautiful", making this series so ffff enjoyable, especially the unforgettable those "revenge" moments.

In Indonesian:
Meskipun tidak semua cerita terkesan istimewa, namun beberapa episode memang tidak bisa dipungkiri bahwasanya itu sungguh spesial.

Meskipun kualitas akting beberapa aktor terlihat biasa saja, akan tetapi sebagian besar sungguh luar biasa.

Musik pengiring yang begitu “indah”, membuat series ini menjadi begitu menyenangkan itu bisa dinikmati terutama dimoment “balas dendam” yang tak terlupakan.

The story that way too realistic on these days made me sighing while watching it. If we turned back and comparing it to a one of the part of the franchise history which tells the story of a single father who fights for his daughter (too) and his lover, this film makes more sense to be imbued with logic.

The quality of acting of the actors were good and the conflict felt real, it made me get swept away in the story that is currently flowing.

I was thinking, is it possible to happened to me in the future? ?

In Indonesian:
Cerita yang terlalu realistis di jaman sekarang ini membuatku menghela nafas saat menontonnya. Kalo kita balik dan bandingkan dengan salah part dari history franchise yang mengangkat kisah seorang single father yang berjuang demi anak dan kekasihnya, film ini bisa dibilang lebih masuk akal untuk bisa diresapi logika.

Kualitas akting para pemain yang bagus dan konflik yang tak dibuat-buat, membuatku ikut terhanyut dalam cerita yang sedang mengalir.

Aku jadi berpikir, apakah mungkin beberapa tahun kedepan akan terjadi hal seperti ini padaku?

I was trying to finish this series earlier, but unfortunately too many others shows that attracted me more than this one.

I didn’t say that this series was bad, it just when. it came to the end I felt this series less interesting than before.

Don’t get me wrong, I love the idea and the story itself, it just another aspects of this series didn’t match my criteria. I always believe that Tul’s performance could be better.

But overall, I kinda miss the chemistry between those two. And you know what? I hope I would see more of Tat and Sorawit. Please Thindertv, make their own series ???
