The Good and Bad of The Eclipse

SPOILER WARNING.

Disclaimer: I want to give a preface here and say that while it looks like there's more bad than good, there's really not. The good overcame the bad for the most part with this show (as you can see by the amount I wrote under each bullet).

The Good

Neo. My first encounter with Neo was FUTS. Back then, I didn't think much of him. I mean, I knew he was a somewhat decent actor, but the style of FUTS didn't quite lend itself to showcasing his skill. Then I watched Tonhon Chonlatee. I started to notice his versatility. Duean was a straightforward guy: he see Meen, he simp for Meen, he confused as to why he simp for Meen. Na was a little more interesting. He had feelings for Chon, but he also had the wherewithal to understand that those feelings weren't reciprocated. He had a level of emotional complexity that allowed him to recognize when enough was enough despite his beating heart. But Khan? Khan took the bare bones of Duean and the emotional maturity of Na and moved it forward (hi Eren!). Neo was able to capture the feeling of falling in love with someone unexpected while struggling to come to terms with what that feeling means with incredible subtlety. Each time Khan hung out with Thua, a new emotion developed within Khan toward Thua. I'm never one to harp on the way a person looks at another person but that thing that Mork does to Phi in FUTS, Khan did to Thua but with 5 other emotions attached to it. There wasn't just love/lust in those looks, there was longing, fear, adoration, and doubt. You could see how tortured Khan felt inside even if he never vocalized it. All of this showed the talent and potential of Neo who was perfectly casted in this role.

FirstKhao. Oh boy, where do I start? Well, I guess I can say that First is one of the best actors GMMTV has to offer. He plays sadness and contemplation so well, it's no wonder he was selected to play Akk. While I did see some areas of improvement for First (namely any time Akk had to be rude to another character/reject Ayan), when he's good, he's great. The moments that best exemplify this to me in The Eclipse include whenever Ayan gets all up in Akk's space. You can visibly see the butterflies fluttering around Akk when Ayan approaches. And I've said this before but First is another one of those actors who can create chemistry out of thin air. When he played opposite Ohm / Fluke in The Shipper, you got that. When he played opposite Gawin in Not Me, you got that. And now that he's playing opposite his best friend, you get it even more. He and Khao are so perfect next to each other that it's hard to understand why this pairing hadn't happened sooner. As for Khao I wasn't initially as sold on him as I was First. I had seen him in Tonhon Chonlatee, 2gether, and 1000 Stars and, while I was fine with his acting, I wasn't 100% sold on him particularly as a lead in a romance. But The Eclipse really made a believer out of me. I want to be clear that I don't think chemistry is a huge problem with Khaotung, as he had smooth chemistry with Podd in Tonhon, but it was something about the way he acted outside of the romance itself that bothered me. It was like I couldn't feel the chemistry between Ton and Chon linger once Tonhon (played by Pod) left the screen. It's like when Chon (played by Khao) was with his friends or alone, I never got from Khao's acting that his character was deeply in love. Despite the fact that much of Chon's story outside of scenes with Ton was about Ton, and many of his scenes were crafted to convince you that Chon was head over hills for Ton (see the shrine scenes), I didn't really feel like Chon actually loved Ton when they were apart. Yet, when Ayan is away from Akk, you get the sense that what he feels for Akk endures. So, again, I wonder how much of these developments are Khao's growth as an actor and how much is a result of writing/directing. Either way, Khao made me a believer in The Eclipse and I'm interested to see where he goes next from here (hopefully a post-apocalyptic survivor role!).

The Bad

The World Remembers gang. Just why? Their roles weren't acting well and the antics got stale after the first time they pulled something. I didn't know much about them besides that they hated school uniforms?? And also they're gay but like...that's not a personality trait lmao. Their scenes just prolonged an already needlessly convoluted plot.

The final act / the Teacher Dika story. I- Look, GMMTV is great at starting an intriguing story and landing so poorly. I don't think I cared about this plot line for one second after like Episode 4. If they wanted to do the thriller/politicking/intrigue thing, they should've watched seasons 1-4 of Game of Thrones (or something similar) first because they dropped the ball here. I mean, every competent writer knows that the key point to any story (especially a political thriller!!) is to be entertaining first. Make shit happen! Make us care about said shit! Make said shit logical/reasonable within the bounds of the story world! Don't just throw in character motivations out of nowhere or reiterate a character's position needlessly, or drag out every single plot twist. It just gets boring and confusing after the first couple of missteps.

The slow burn. After awhile it was just like how in the fuck is Akk still denying his feelings for Ayan? It was like they'd take one step forward and two steps back which just pissed me off.

The runtime. Really this show could've ran ~8 episodes and nothing would have been lost. The story was not tight and had a lot of threads that weren't exactly extraneous but also weren't interesting.

??? can they stop 😩

[purplefacey]

our skyy 2 trailer summed up basically be like.

- the eclipse: basically playing dress up while being domestic little shits

- my school president: FUCKING BODY SWAP ( gem4th & mark lied so badly ) but anyways love to see soundwin as each other

- bad buddy: pranpat being sluts in love ( i mean this in a good way btw )

- never let me go: FINALLY THEM BEING HAPPY ( or are they… cause they are literally running in one part of the trailer. )

- vice versa: FINALLY THEY ARE MAKING A MOVIE! IN THEIR REAL WORLD ( i’m still not getting fuseaou and i feel robbed )

- a boss and a babe: ARE THEY ALSO BODY SWAPPING?$1?2?2 IM CONFUSED.

- a tale of a thousand stars: THE WATERFALL 😭😭😭😭 FINALLY GETTING THEM ACTUALLY BEING A COUPLE

- star in my mind: it’s all the side characters being little shits and being their number one shippers tbh

anyways i was crying in school over them then i was texting my friend how i’m going to be in school when it airs and going to have to stay off twitter and insta and everywhere so i can’t get spoiled 😭

??????????????

[chicademartinica]

I’m cheesing so hard I can’t hear the dialogue but who cares AKKAYAN KANTHUA WAT HAS A CRUSH PAWIN THE HUMAN EASTER EGG IS HERE !

[victorialovesstiles]

Things I’d LOVE to see in the Akk and Ayan Our Skyy 2 episode:

Kisses

The gang having fun/being supportive of Akk (aka the best boy ever)

JEALOUS AYAN PLEASE - I AM TOXIC AND I NEED IT 🙏

Akk being comfortable in his own skin/with his sexuality

Overdue Thua apology for outing his friends to the whole school???

First and Khaotung being drop dead gorgeous (this one is a guarantee but I added it anyway)

That is all, thank you!

[persistent-obsession]

Before the Suppalo Boys Breakdown

I share Ayan's opinion that Suppalo is a terrible school and is definitely driving all those boys toward a breakdown. The question is whether they can rescue each other before anyone actually breaks.

[randomjreader]

Our skyy 2 episodes so far (as of 4/5)

The eclipse, Kan and Thua to each other the entire time: 😍😊☺️🥰

[distant-screaming]

ship bingo: akkayan just cause i know you want the opportunity to be insane about them. and khanthua cause i love them.

DID SOMEONE SAY AKKAYAN. [I rise from my pharaoh's tomb like a mummy] I HEARD AKKAYAN. they're my first bl love and honestly just like, they're everything they contain the RANGE. they're silly they're insane they're filled with horrors they're teenage boys <3 I love them so so much and I miss writing about them if it wasn't for real life I'd get back together with them 🫶 anyway please I think about them constantly.......

kanthua are just like, man. traumatized little guys who love each other. they're sooo fun. I don't think about them as often as I should no one does it like them

I am normal and regular about gay people. just so you know

[dvriaxe]

bc of ao3 my brain made up a headcanon crossover where lita, kp, the eclipse, uwma & buts exists in the same universe

like...

phayu vegaspete son

prapai kinnporsche son

win in his rebellious era sneaked in to illegal race and became friends with phayu & pai (dean was scared for his friend's ass so he went with him on every race so he get close to py & pp too)

akkayan & khanthua befriended rain & sky bc they go to the same university (+ win one time takes team on a race and team became friends with sky & rain (and then they introduce him & pharm to akkayan & khanthua) and they became one big noisy "we share 5 brainsells and desiding who's gonna be smart today by a spinning wheel" group

im sick i know

[namtanlovesfilm]

Hello ^^ I have a question regarding Our Skyy: The Eclipse. I was wondering if it'll be just AkkAyan, or is there a chance for a glimpse of KhanThua as well? Do you mayhaps know anything about that? Thank you kindly in advance <3

hi! so sadly I can't really answer in advance as it depends. in the pickrome episode of our skyy, the side ship porschemma wasn't there, but in the morktee episode, the side ship morngord WAS there & had cute scenes. I think the only indicator is that at the time gmmtv was pushing neophuwin as a stable ship of theirs whereas the actors for porschemma had left gmmtv. since neolouis seem to be either dead or at least on pause for 2023, they probably won't be in it? but they might surprise us, though. but as someone who waited a year for the theory of love special episode to include my fave ship untwo only for it to not have earth bc he was filming 1000 stars... I'd say manage your expectations babe 😬

[gunsatthaphan]

he’s not wrong 🤷🏼‍♀️

The fact that the preview for the last episode of The Eclipse has Kan and Thua on the beach at night and Akk and Ayan on the beach during the day is enough to just... completely drive me wild.

Because the symbolism is being reversed. The moon, that has always been night and that blocked the sun, has become the brilliant day and the sun, so often blocked and changed by the moon, has become the darker night.

Thua and Akk, both aspects of the curse as it occurred, have changed position. Akk has found the brilliance of his life in his love for Ayan while Thua seems to be sinking deeper into the pain of what he did.

Well, at least that is what I can glean from thirty seconds of symbolism in a preview for a finale episode.

But it's just so big. To see them switch day for night, to see Kan and Thua on the dark beach with the moon and to see Akk and Ayan greet the rising sun.
