What happens

Being chosen as the face of your faculty sounds like an honour until it puts you in the same rehearsal room as the senior you have secretly liked for years. 2Moons The Series (เดือนเกี้ยวเดือน, Duean Kiao Duean) is the 2017 Thai BL series that opened the 2 Moons franchise, with Itthipat Thanit and Bas Hatsanat Piniwat in the lead roles.

Wayo Panitchayasawad, called Yo, is a freshman at the university where Phana Kongthanin, called Pha, is in his second year. Yo has loved Pha from a distance for a long time without ever finding the nerve to speak to him. Pha is the reigning Campus Moon, the student picked to represent his faculty in public, and he takes no visible pleasure in the attention.

Then Yo is chosen as the Moon of his own faculty, and the distance disappears. The contest puts the two in the same orbit every day, and their first meetings go badly. Pha keeps picking on the newcomer, while Yo hides an old crush behind polite answers. Slowly, the friction turns into something friendlier.

Two more pairs share the campus. Ming and Kit form a second couple with a lighter, comic rhythm, and Forth and Beam bring a cooler storyline of their own. Around them sit classmates such as Pring, Suthee and Park, along with coursework, campus events and the steady pressure of being watched. Across twelve episodes the series keeps returning to one question: is a feeling kept quiet for years worth saying out loud?

7/10

Uff, the one that started the Moon craze. 2Moons The Series arrived in 2017, before Thai BL settled into its glossy streaming era, and it built a whole romance around a campus title that most people outside Thailand had never heard of.

The Moon title does the heavy lifting

A Moon is a public role: stage appearances, rehearsals, photo calls. That choice is the key idea of 2Moons The Series. Pha and Yo never get a private bubble, because their duties keep putting them in front of other people. A crush hidden in a crowded hall makes a sharper engine for suspense than a crush hidden behind a closed door, and the slow pace makes sense once you see how public every step is.

Three couples, three tempos

The series splits its time between three pairs. Pha and Yo move slowly and quietly, Ming and Kit carry the comedy, and Forth and Beam sit somewhere in between. It is an early version of the ensemble structure that later university BL series would use again and again, and here the side couples get real scenes of their own.

The cast that launched a franchise

Itthipat Thanit, known as God, plays Pha as a senior of very few words. Bas Hatsanat Piniwat, credited at the time as Suradet Piniwat, plays Yo in his first lead role, years before he became North in Fourever You. God and Bas shared a win at the LINE TV Awards 2018 for a scene from this series.

Who made it

Kanchanapun Meesuwan directed the twelve episodes for Chachi Digital Media, adapting Chiffon_cake's web novel. The story did not stop there. 2 Moons 2 (2019) recast every lead for Mello Thailand, and 2 Moons: The Ambassadors (2022) recast them again, so the 2017 version is the only one with God and Bas.

Fair warning

This is a 2017 production, and it carries the style of its time: bold music cues, broad comedy and an earnest tone in the big moments. Give it an episode to settle in. The sincerity of the central crush does the rest.

My tip: start here before 2 Moons 2, so you can compare how each version stages the moment the two Moons first clash.

Final Score: 7/10

Themes and Messages

Silence works as both a shelter and a trap in 2Moons. Yo protects himself by never saying what he feels, and the series asks how long a person can live inside an unspoken wish. Hierarchy shapes everything else: the senior and junior gap between Pha and Yo decides who speaks first and who has to earn trust, and the story narrows that gap until the two meet as equals. The friend group keeps the tone warm, so first love here reads as a test of courage taken with backup.

Behind the Scenes

Chachi Digital Media produced the 2017 series, with Waranchayan Ananphichaidej, Yachay Konhirun and Wittawat Sangsakit credited as executive producers. Motive Village took over the franchise for 2 Moons 2 in 2019.

Did You Know?

  • Bas sings a cover of "Kon Tummadah", used as the ending song of episode 11.

  • Several supporting actors kept their roles in the 2019 remake, among them Green Phongsathorn Padungktiwong as Suthee and Haji Phee Pikulngern as Montri.
  • The remake 2 Moons 2 opened with "Between Us", sung by August Vachiravit.
