In the first season of Love, Fred and Orr, once good friends, parted ways in an argument. Years later, they met again before the college entrance examination. In order to help Ouer with his Chinese lessons, De and Ouer untied their hearts, got back together, and collided with different sparks ... The first season just aired and became popular overseas. Douban scored as high as 9.3, attracting a large number of viewers to fall in love with Phuket's food culture.
No one is born brave.
Thailand broadcasts countless same-sex dramas every year. However, the homogenization of the plot, the immature acting skills of the newcomers and the poor shooting level are the common problems of Thai bad dramas. The reason why Love is different from other Thai dramas lies in its profound and sincere portrayal of sexual minorities, rather than superficial "sugar".
The plot revolves around the core of the teenager's identity-De, who was born in a traditional Fujian family, repeatedly flinched after confirming his love for Ou 'er, shouldered the double pressure of his mother's sustenance and exams, and was confused about love and the future; Orr is brave for love. Seeing the German retreat, he doubted himself for the first time. For sexual minorities, few people can immediately distinguish themselves from others, and stumbling growth is the normal state of most people. "Love" eliminated the struggle of two boys and made many viewers feel the same way, as if they had seen themselves.
Lost the flavor of the first season
From love to love 2 is the story of Germany and Orr coming to Bangkok from Phuket to go to college. In the second season, they disagreed on their dreams and finally got back together. In the first season, Fred was not as decisive as Orr, but he clearly knew that he liked Orr and gave up his first choice for Orr, blocking his future.
However, in the second season, Germany rushed to the drama club for her dream. After changing majors, Ouer felt lonely and got out of loneliness by making new friends. Knowing that Orr painted his nails, tattooed his hair and dyed his hair red with his friends, Fred complained that Orr had "changed", completely forgetting that he was busy and ignoring his emotions. Fred didn't talk to Orr like in the first season and untied his heart, but talked to his seniors, still snubbing the lonely Orr.
What's even more outrageous is that in the first season, Fred, who struggled for his sexual orientation, fell in love with his same-sex seniors so easily in the second season, and was witnessed by Ou Er as they kissed madly in the name of rehearsing a drama. This kiss made the reputation of Love 2 plummet, and the character setting and plot are developing in the direction of magic.
Orr's personnel is also suddenly bizarre; In the first season, she was confident and talkative, and in the second season, she was sad and humble. Before the start of the second season, Orr's red hair appeared in the poster, and fans speculated that Orr's hair dyeing was a turning point in their relationship. After the broadcast, De Jian simply mentioned it. The illogical plot makes Orr's character setting thin and one-sided, losing the charm of the first season.
A new director, a bad start.
Walking with Love 2 is directed by Mien Tosafeng Riantong. Unlike Naruebet Kuno, the director of the first season, who took over the second season without watching the first season of Love, and with no director experience, there was a clear sense of separation between Love 2 and the first season, and German and European films made the audience particularly dissatisfied.
Fred's derailment is the beginning of the collapse of Love 2. The breakup in the fourth episode and the sudden reconciliation in the fifth episode surprised the audience. All five episodes. The first season is unforgettable, and the second season is long and boring.
"Love 2" focuses on the interaction between the seniors and sisters of Dehe Drama Club. However, their stories did not promote the plot, and the relationship between Germany and Europe was not sufficiently paved, which made the contradiction and reconciliation between them particularly abrupt.
Besides, Love 2 also has many failures-in the first season, the supporting actors were full of blood and tears and grew up with the protagonist. In the second season, the supporting role appeared only to set off the protagonist, which was dispensable. The color of Love 2 is so messy that the audience can't see the face of the protagonist clearly, and the characteristics of Bangkok are not photographed. The audience has no desire to understand Bangkok.
In the first season, learning Chinese was the beginning for them to get closer. In the second season, they didn't keep any elements of China. Hibiscus flowers were replaced by sunflowers for no reason, milk was replaced by coconut water, Fujian noodles and Ayudon became Korean fried chicken, and Germany didn't want to take responsibility after making mistakes, only crying ... These shortcomings that can't be ignored consumed the audience's love for Germany and Europe. At the end of the play, many viewers were very sad and teased. Eggs and cooperative advertisements are more in line with people's designs in Germany and Europe than five episodes.
In Love 2, De and Ou Er lost their souls. The audience said that De and Ou Er in the first season were the Phuket teenagers in their hearts. The summer in Phuket has only regrets and ends in an anticlimactic ending.
