Let me wallow in my disappointment.
What a way of ruining a story, I tell you. It's so obvious the writers were trying so unbelievably hard to milk a story that didn't need to be milked because it was good enough the way it was.~Story:
A mess. I don't even know where to start because there is just so much going on and so much cramped together in such awkward ways that you can't even call this a cohesive story. We had like six couples and all of them were irrelevant. Yes, I'm including the main couple as well. All their stories felt like scrapped drama plots that were meshed together to form a messy story.
This would have been so much better if they got rid of most couples and turned Bank and Golf's side into a movie. Maybe add Tar and Nuefar's story to give a little spice to it. Everything would have been so much simpler and easier to follow if they had edited shit out.
~Cast:
I don't even know. It's kind of decent enough to not make you cringe, but there was a big lack of chemistry between everybody that ended up looking poorly on every episode. I'll talk a little about most couples:
-Bank/Golf: Irrelevant. They were so dry and awkward it was hard to watch. I was surprised at how bad Bank's actor performed here since he did a great job in "Until We Meet Again." Golf's actor has not changed much and it shows. You can tell he's heterosexual because his acting came out too forced and restrained.
-Tar/Nuefar: The best of the bunch. It was still dry as hell, but the chemistry decent enough to make me believe them... a little. Tar's actor NEEDS to work on expressing emotions because he was straight up flat through the whole thing.
-Meka/Hungray: Irrelevant. One looks like a crackhead and the other looks like he's on his way to become one. Again, they were trying so hard to act gay it was kind of sad to see. Let's NOT mention the sexual assault.
-Nut/Kung: I kinda like them. Not the best actors out there, but good enough to make me pay attention. This is one of those couples you wish had their own drama because their plot actually has potential for a little short series.
-I honestly don't even remember the names of the other couples so I won't mention those.
~Editing, pacing, and direction:
More like terrible, terrible, and terrible. I don't even know what the vision was. Like I said, this whole drama looks like a bunch of different scrapped plots randomly put together. And, PLEASE, don't make me mention the unnecessary and slow paced music interludes. This series is what unprofessionalism looks like.
I don't recommend this to anyone. The story is very unnecessary and does not add anything to the original. You should watch the movie and stop there because this drama isn't a must.

Barely scratching the surface
As the title says, this story - barely scratched the surface - it was good idea, but poorly executed. I loved the energy through the movie, and the chemistry was decent.Let's get back to the story, the fact that one of the main characters was dead in the 1st part of this movie, bringing him back was and (in my book), will always be an amateur move. I am a bit sucker for happy endings but the whole idea of "playing dead" was unnecessary. It has to be very strong reason for something like this.
Just as the 1st part problematic moments were rushed. Emotions were fine, some even touching. I missed more affection, but there was some...like not totally - we are in relationship and our intimacy is deep stare into loved ones eyes and hand holding. It was more than that, yet not enough. I did not expect Pornographer (Novelist) but I started to hope that more and more real intimacy will be portraited in movies and TV shows from 2021.
Overall, one more bl checked on my list that was not total waste of time. If you are picky and have no intention of watching every single bl ever filmed you might skip this one.

Love Fluke Natouch
I started watching and so far it’s been interesting. I love Fluke Natouch . He is an awesome actor. I am also glad to see the other Fluke too. They both have such good chemistry together. There are other side couples which seem to fit with the title . I find them intriguing but I hope to see more of the two main characters. I am also glad to see some of the same actors from the first series. The music in Ep 4 is nice . I am wondering how much COVID-19 affected the total production. That said I applaud their efforts under trying circumstances.Was this review helpful to you?
A series that fails to excite
I've just watched on YouTube the first four episodes of this eagerly awaited sequel to My Bromance: The Series that aired some years ago. Unfortunately, after Ep. 1, the drama dissipates and the storyline becomes weaker and weaker, they've added four new side couples while the main couple doesn't have enough to do and too often there's just music playing on top of silent dialogue. I have to say the studio that produced it is capable of much better work so it's rather disappointing, a view also expressed by most of the people leaving comments.Was this review helpful to you?
Worst story telling ever
Initially I was very excited to watch this series as the movie was absolutely heart breaking and who doesn’t love a happy ending? Both Flukes were more of supporting characters. The entire series seems more focused on the other couples which has nothing to do with the original movie. It leaves little to be desired as the entire series seems to only be leveraged on the movie’s title and the directorship and storytelling was absolutely bad... I was absolutely shocked that it’s by the same director who did the movie as it seems like it’s done by two different people instead of the same person. As much as I would like to see a proper remake of this... I Guess this is why “Love of Siam” ended at where it was and will always be a master piece in our memory and hearts same goes for the movie of My bromance and not this series 😔Was this review helpful to you?
Mucho mejor de lo esperado
Con tanto comentario negativo, se me quitaron las ganas de ver esta serie, pero tengo cierta admiración por Fluke Natouch desde que le vi muy niño en algunas películas, y llenar la pantalla con su excelente actuación en Until we meet again. La historia no tiene que ver con la primera serie My bromance, sino con la película del mismo nombre de 2014. Y aunque dar continuidad a una película con 9 capítulos puede ser muy arriesgado, y se ha acompañado con historias secundarias, los dos Flukes sobresalen con su actuación, dando una sensación de calidez y credibiliad. Recomiendo verla entera y no rendirse al primer o segundo episodioWas this review helpful to you?
Season 2 dari Bromance 2014
Ini adalah series lanjutan dari bad ending "Bromance" tahun 2014, ternyata kisah antara Golf dan Bank belum berakhir, season dua ini benar-benar mengubah konsep bromance season 1. Diceritakan bahwa Golf sebenarnya tidak pernah meninggal, dia hanya pergi ke tempat yang seorang-pun tidak mengetahuinya ; Akankah Bank bisa menerima kenyataan bahwa Golf sebenarnya belum meninggal? padahal Bank benar-benar sudah move-on?. Ini merupakan versi series dari "Bromance" yang rilis tahun 2014, selain itu main couple di series ini tidak hanya Golf dan Bank saja, berbeda dari versi filmnya. Chemistry dari keduanya menurutku masih sama seperti saat movie walaupun sudah terlampau lama sekali, series ini hadir seolah-olah membuat film bromance 2014 benar-benar terjadi di dunia nyata karena terlihat dari judulnya 5 years later yang benar-benar lima tahun sejak tahun 2014. Namun, menurutku highlight dari series ini bukanlah Bank dan Golf lagi, melainkan muncul karakter-karakter baru yang menurutku dari segi pasangan sangat bagus, diantaranya: Hungray dan Meka, Tar dan Nuefar Napapin, Fahrenheit dan Mew. Mereka semua sangat mewarnai series ini dan aku menyukai semuanya. Ceritanya menarik dan berkesan, mempunyai makna seperti film terdahulunya lima tahun lalu. Sangat rekomendasi bagi orang-orang yang sudah menonton film "Bromance" tahun 2014. Anda harus menerima bahwa ending cerita bromance 2014 harus diubah ketika anda menonton series ini. Dari segi dialog, cerita dan scene series ini sudah cukup bagus namun nuansa warnanya tidak seperti versi filmnya, menurutku versi series ini cenderung flat.Was this review helpful to you?

Decepcionante
Toda a mídia que foi feita em cima dessa série me fez pensar que seria um estouro. Fiquei bem decepcionada com o roteiro dessa sequência... a trama central era (ou deveria ser) sobre o retorno de Golf e como Bank ia assimilar isso, só esse núcleo, se bem trabalhado, já poderia dar uma boa história. Mas ao que parece, na intenção de "encher linguiça", por não conseguirem muito assunto sobre o casal principal, criaram uma série de histórias paralelas, algumas com início sem lógica ou fim sem noção, ou as duas coisas. Ficou tanta coisa misturada, que o casal principal mal aparecia em alguns episódios, e como se não bastasse a péssima atuação de vários atores e a quantidade de histórias aparecendo simultaneamente sem nenhum elo que as ligasse, eram histórias fracas, roteiros vazios. Sinceramente, me decepcionei demais com essa série, criei muita expectativa e quebrei a cara. Até a abertura ficou ruim, a trilha sonora não agrega nada, e só poderia ter ficado pior se tivessem separado de vez o casal principal (confesso que tive medo disso).O único ponto que posso colocar como positivo é a atuação do Fluke Pongsatorn, sempre impecável. mas ainda assim prejudicada pela falta de qualidade da série.
Apesar de ter assistido a série duas vezes para tentar entender alguns pontos, não recomendo.
