why they have more chemistry when they werent 2gether? (ba dum tsh)
i quite literally will never understand how they had much better chemistry in the beginning. the only explanation i can give is the popularity and uncomfortableness bringing an uptick bc of it. because otherwise the show was so cute in the beginning. the scene with the car and the bike iw as proud of—rom com-y and very 10 things (which they also reference again. hate that movie, but i loved the tropes from there here.)and i guess yu get kind of blindsided. i didn't watch it because they were attractive—i hate that actors have to be when your charm and shine and attractiveness will shine absolutely through with your character and actors are hired not for looks but because of the way they move themselves and are able to act and that they have striking faces for the camera but we are not reliant on looks we fall in love with the people they play. but that takes too much time—but that certainly helped and their acting while not great was much better than what i had seen.
the couch scene was the last thing i remember that made me feel good about it. the pandemic was also starting up and i feel like so many of us got attached to it for that reason, truly, because my feelings about watching the show will always remember that and how difficult this time was. i can't rewatch ITSAY and i am not watching the sequel because it reminds me of that time so heavily and the show was already gut-wrenching for me. when i think back on this one i'm just like "....wow...so that was a thing in my eyeballs huh?" and i'm like damn at least it helped me a little. but what the fuck happened? i never watched all of the last episode and i saw the high 5 but from that to the special eps you start to truly realize the insane cracks in them and this relationship and the story. you look back with a different mindset and when you go to watch it's like glaringly obvious that they are embarrassed to be there and have no clue what they are doing.
on top of that: no, no one needs to fuck or kiss or whatever so we know the love but considering they make jokes and imply it and we get 0 z e r o indication of any deeper intimacy when they ARE in a relationship and /move in together/ and for the special supposedly being together for 2 years. i'm flabbergasted at that point it really was: WHY are you living together, do you people not touch each other??????? like what even was that?? when you see people you can get a feel of their interpersonal relationships so you can generally tell if someone is a sibling, friend, partner and for them it's like just two guys (5 feet apart in a hot tub....) just being there and everyone saying "see theyre in love" but bish wheryuuuurrrrrr and they "kiss" and "have sex" but they can't hold hands? that's an indication that they think intimacy = physicality; this is a pitfall for most media but especially when it is with men and geared towards women (as opposed to women focusing on women and a woman also directing these things) for BL. we saw them kiss in the special and that was appalling to me. truly one of the worst things ever because i felt nothing. but these shows think just cos just because they are physical FINALLY after work and no nbuild up with intimacy that we are now getting some sort of reward. this is all about expediency and getting otu as much money as they can but couldn't they have done a bit more to make it believable? (no so why bother when you can just have money)
i do not understand this show at all and i can't believe we watched something light fun and lovely and now all my memories are soooooooo embarrassed it's just fucking cringe man just cringe so awkward lol. god capitalism sucks smh
a lil extra aaside: for the love of god can men just stop calling each other feminine stuff or having chars play more feminine so we can tell which role they have in the rship. it is insulting, misogynist, transphobic, probably all the other -ists and it is especially annoying when something that is used between male couples as a joke (which i think is fine as long as women arent fucking implicated) and something for them and for their intimacy and rship you just have a bunch of beige walls being annoying about gender roles and penises WE GET IT we get it we get it women? NO. men? ok!

But after episode 10, it became really hard for me to enjoy the series. I initially thought that, if this is the best BL dramas out there, then I feel really sorry for the gays. This series is very shallow and badly directed. It's like watching two good-looking guys being forced by their fangirl friends to date each other on camera despite them being.....straight.
Thank God I made the right decision to explore any other BL series instead of judging the whole genre from one bad apple. For those who come to watch 2gether because of the hype and end up getting disappointed, please explore other BL dramas. I almost gave up but thankfully I decided to look past 2gether and try to watch some other underrated ones.

Overrated but still a enjoyable Show
This is my first review, on this Site. I’m not a native Speaker so please judge my Review not too hart.So 2gether is a special show, is it overrated? Yes. Is the Plot ridiculous? Definitely...but in the end it works! And the huge success of this series makes the BL-Genre famous all over the place.
The reason, in my opinion, is the unbeliviable Chemistry of the both main actors, where you can see tenderness in every action of them both.
But yes when you see it critically, this series has nothing to do with reality and should be more seen as romantical Dream.
And the alleged Bi-Curiosity about the main actors in RL is just queerbaiting and Fanservice at its best
(I mean C‘,mon this puts Gay for Pay to another Level)
When you remind this all, it’s a enjoyable Show and at least all the gay guys get their unrealistic, overromantical Lovestory like the Straight People get it since beginning of time

A cute BL story
this was my first ever BL series to watch and it didnt disappoint. if you're looking for smth light and cute with lots of flirting, this is it!i really loved the acting and character developpment .. the little details were so touching to me. the music is a big part of this series and for me it had so much impact. Sarawat's character was my favourite and i don't even know why.
I don't want to talk about the disappointment that is the ending scene but i must mention the sweet moments they had in this because it deserves much more recognition.

The series deviated a bit from the source material but that's the same in most cases with dramas. The story-line is a bit cliche and kind of predictable but nonetheless it is still enjoyable. It's a rather lighthearted series overall with the inclusion several problems.The inclusion of the Scrubb songs as ost are absolutely amazing and well-done per the novel. Bright as well as has a great voice, and I'm glad they gave him 2 songs for the series.
It's obvious to me that most people watched the drama for the visuals of Bright and Win but their acting are decent as well. Especially Win for giving an outstanding crying performance in one scene towards the later episodes. It was emotional and I as well as others felt the connection with his character. He even received praise from experts within the field despite this series being his first work.
What I dislike about BL series, or those I've recently watched, is the inclusion of a side pairing like 2-3 episodes before the series end. I would like to see the side pairings development close to the beginning as well. In the case of 2gether, Type's and Man's coupling was hinted from the beginning but it took the final episode for them to officially be together. I'm happy for it but I would like the series to be invested in that coupling as much as any other "official" couple. It was the same situation in Theory of Love with Two and Un towards the ending of the series.
A lot of people are upset that the Sarawat and Tine had a bromantic story near the end rather than actually love. I'd like to refute that since when was an intimate scene necessary for them to show their love although I'd admit the high-five towards the end was a bit awkward. We've known for several episodes that they indeed love one another so what's more to prove it? A kiss? A hug? However, let's remind ourselves that the scenes are not shot in order so the ending scenes were probably shot before several other proceeding scenes (i.e. the camping scenes was apparently shot last) which gives the atmosphere of awkwardness.
Rather than a second season, I'd want a new series with the 2 main instead since I'm rather satisfied with the way the story ended. A second season would be an invitation to mess what has been established already meaning more unnecessary drama and conflicts, however, a spin-off with Type and Man wouldn't be bad since it gives way to explore their relationship.
Overall, the story was rather simple but executed fine. There weren't any loose ends which satisfies the story.

I am a mixture of happiness and sadness. This drama had great potential to become my favorite, but the production of the latest episodes screw up the story for me. The first few episodes I was loving too much and I was full of hope... good times. Still, I liked the ending. It was certainly not what I was expecting, much more drama and conflict than necessary (in my opinion). The last part of the last episode was what saved the drama for me, I ended up surrendering to cuteness and remembering the good times where I used this drama as an escape. The cast was one of my favorite things, it was Win's first bl and he did a great job, and I also liked Bright's performance. I see myself re-watching all episodes soon hahahaAbout a second season, I would prefer it not to happen. I think if they are going to create a new plot they could ruin the story for me. Even if I don't want to, if a second season happens, I'll probably watch it hahaha I know myself

Sawarat and Tine relationship was so different from BL's I have watched. Everyone thinks they hated each other but Sawarat fell in love with Tine the second he laid eyes on him. I found them faking dating was cute just to get rid of Green but turned into a relationship. Some people who say they act like brothers I don't believe so. Not every BL couple has to be kissing and sex. For me their relationship was more bubbly and light. Probably what the director wanted to show. I was hearted broken when Sawarat started acting all different when Pam came around but his love for Tine was never gone. It was simply a misunderstanding and I love the ending of the other side couples and Sawarat teasing Tine in music club. They really are the cutest couple there was no toxic energy from the main couple. I recommened watching it and I will be watching it over. Bright who played Sawarat did a great job of doing the flirting and jealousy. Win who played Tine omg his smile is everything they just suit each other just like MewGulf in a different way.

I see a lot of people hating on it because it "lacks" certain elements that are "supposed" to be included in BL. Listen y'all, if you are coming to this series thinking you'll find typical cliche stuff, don't even try. This series gives you everything from great acting to great music. People hate on it because "it lacks kissing and explicit scenes", like come on y'all that's not what this is about. I love how the series ended up being more towards the characters rather than topics. They didn't touch on rape (I'm so grateful they didn't because every BL is full of it and it paints our community as predators), they didn't touch on woman being painted as "bad" or "sl*ts", it just focused on two guys who are trying to figure out themselves. The acting is great, the script is not confusing (a lot of BLs are really trying way too hard to be something they shouldn't) and the music is just perfect. If you are coming into this thinking you'll find annoying characters, characters who do not bring anything to the series then go somewhere else. This series is a complete one, it does not misses any point, and for those of you who are not part of the LGBTQ+ community, please stop asking for "s*x and kiss scenes" as if the whole series should be about that.
Hoping for a second season and i need a continuation of ManxType, Bright and Win did a great job and I'm proud of it. 10/10.
12/30/2021: No because Mike and Toptap not being friends... waaah.

An Expected Disappointment that I never wished.
I want to say something first personally.My memories save the first 10 episodes only as the best vibes and assumed the last 3 episodes are nothing to do with the 2gether the series.
I think that almost all of us feel SOTUS vibes from earlier episodes of 2gether series. This is one of the reason what I like about 2gether Story.
It has the charm , heart warming feeling and the vibes that will stay deep inside after knowing the whole story. We loved the characters and the preciousness of storylines.
What this re-scriptwriting series lack is the essential elements from original storyline and the refreshness of their (production team) stereotyped mind. I think that they though making such a fun ,cute and meaningful storyline into melodrama on last minutes can hit among series fans and the connection between series and fans could become stronger ?
I think the answer "No " will come out alltogether.
I can accept that 2gether team is making the series to feel something different from what we've seen as spoilers on everywhere. The biggest mistakes is the non-consistency of main chracters.
The worst things is changing PAM charactes into female vallain to hit melodrama at the last minutes. I think PAM characters in the series is very cheap, the most hateable one that I've ever seen on BL series and also making non sense at all.
And again,the scriptwriter and producing team chose and used SARAWAT from the novel and they never value that character. They're destroying it after every episode and then when the Ep 12 is arrived, the SARAWAT we all know is not there anymore. And Tine too. Tine hugging Mil who is trying to flirt with him and also knowing that , he hugged back . That things were totally ununderstandable.
It had the potential to become top tier BL series among all after earlier episode but still they choose their way not to become like that by disrespecting the depth of characters and original story.
Overall , I can't help but I gotta say this is the flop series. It's not that the actors have no chemistry and also series was not overrated at all in the beginning. The thing is actors had more chemistry on the beginning ( fake dating) and after each episodes that chemistry is slowly fading away till it hits final episodes. The chemistry on Final episode is more like brother rather than couple and every happpenings on episode 11 (especially on) 12 are not the things that the one who deeply in love with one another would never do. SARAWAT would never turn his back on Tine, let Tine running away crying and give priority to stay still and clear things out with PAM first on that place, let Tine to take way by other guy who also is flirting tine , not checking to hospital when Tine was seriously ill and so many other mess on. He's not that kind of guy and Tine is not the kind of hugging back eveyone. PAM also is not the destroyer and cheap type of girl.
The earlier episode made me to find original story desperately because I couldn't bare to wait coming episodes every friday and when I found and read whole story I've became official diehard fan of 2gether the story. The first 3 episode made me that kind of person. Meaning that the series had so much potential and I gave too much hope on this.
But let's say what if I put aside that hope , I think this series is still fun and enjoyable one but on basic level. SARAWAT-TINE or BRIGHT-WIN make every BL fan's friday brighter and more fun then usual. They stayed in our heart. It's obvious that Director P'Champ tried his best and did all with goodwill so that I don't wanna put blames on him. Because everybody will need something to fix forever as no one can be perfect.Win also tried his best and the result came out excellently even though his is the newest one in there. Bright also have deep and clear minded and is work-hard actors. The rest of the acting crew took full responsibility on thier own character. Without the Original stroyline, Actors and Directors , this series could become a total mess on the highest level with that kind of narrow-mined producing team and lazy ,stereotyping and disrespecting scriptwriting.
Other thing that I wanna point out one more time is
"Tine " Titled song should be cute,romatic love song (at least I assumed like that) but it came out as confusing sad song. Don't get me wrong because I loved that song right away after they premiered. I'm just pointing out this song is completely not suitable to become "Tine" song making me think that this also is one of the biggest mistakes.
Beside all of the things I mentioned above, The series is still enjoyable and scrubb's songs are way beyond superb. The music , directing (ep1-10) and acting are superb ( for me) or at least it's more than worth watching. I gave 9.5 score after 5 episode and now I reduced it down to 8.0 very sadly. I didn't expect that and still I don't want to do that kind of lowering rating. This is the very first time that I reduced my rating .This may be the result of hoping too much on something.

I thought the story was too musical to the point that characters may sing impromptu somewhere places like how western movies does in the musical genre. But it was not, it gives the story unique because although it is musical, the characters and setting's feelings express through music (the highlight of the story). They used the songs of SCRUBB (a Thai band) which gives the film workers many challenges on how they make a story that will connect music. So, as a viewer, of course, I must not only rely upon watching the scenes where they used a song, I must also read the lyrics of the song to feel the scenes where they used a song. That is how the story unique. You need to feel by watching it. Plus, they used the song correctly on every scene. SCRUBB's songs have a very unique type of music. Its genre was Britpop, Chill-Out Music, and indie-pop which is not that very loudly and annoying to the viewers/listeners. I have read some of the articles about music that "listeners may easily absorb the music when the music is slowly/chill". They really made me amazed because they choose the right music and a good band.
The romance was not that too complicated to understand yet the love they mean is too broad to the point that viewers also need to reconsider what really was happening during some scenes. Some critics I have read was "viewers also needed to understand how the characters handled their feelings when it comes to love". This was some scenes were not really specified the reality of loving. But, this is not really the important part of the story because the characters always find their solutions just to be ended by their love-ones (which yes they ended at the ending part)
The acting was best especially to Win Metawin! this is his first project on the film industry and he nailed it! his acting was very impressive. His emotions are very contagious to the viewers. Bright's acting also was impressive, especially he portrays a character that similar to him which is a musician and a football player. BrightWin's chemistry was too strong in this series! they do not need to present something just to express their sparks and love. Although the kissing was not done too professionally but simple yet it gives viewers romantic excitement!. I love how they present the small gestures in loving because it signifies my definition of intimacy.
Other supporting roles gives also colors in the series. ManType, MillPhukong, and DimGreen, which gives enjoyment so that viewers may not get bored. Their chemistry was strong in the latter part which gives me an idea that I regretted not appreciating them in the first half of the series. I want them to be more exposed in the series but yea this is really not the important part in the series. Other roles also did their job well done too.

The story is very different from the Novel
For the first 6 episodes, I am already hooked by it. especially the main actors. They really both have the chemistry and their charisma is outstanding. If you like a snobbish and mysterious type of guy then go to Bright/ Sarawat. But if you want a guy who looks like he has a kind heart, boy next door and the one that your parents will approve for you to be with, then its definitely Win/Tine. But then you really need to finish the whole episodes because in that way you can make your judgement especially the ending. I am kind of dissapointed and the impact has been lessen of their chemistry has not been strong than before.Below are my opinions in every rating. If you read novel or even the summary of the story then this is a WARNING for you because will be dissapointed and you will just want to curse the director and the network who created it.
Story: The best at first! I feel like I am also part of it and I always smile whenever they are together. But then when you know the glimpsed of what happened in the novel you will see that GMM-TV really change the plot and I say the whole and IMPORTANT PLOT of the story which is very dissapointing. You will feel that you will loose track from episode 11- 13. Not a good move.
Acting/Cast: Well Cast is perfect no argumentation needed. But I want to be honest when it comes to their acting. Please do not get me wrong though, they are REALLY GOOD! However like any other BL series, I want to see the true expression of sadness and tears whenever it is needed and that is what is lacking in every BL series to the point that sometimes, as a viewer, I cannot feel the momentum to the point that my emotions will become pale and will made me realize that it is a purely act and not real. well its not yet complete so I cannot judge but I hope this time if ever there is a need of sad emotions, both Win and Bright will bring justice to it.
Music: well thank god there is a subtitle and what I like about BL Series specially the ones from Thailand is that they are making sure that the music compliments with the story and it blended so well. For that Kudos!
Re-watch Value: Yes but not this year or maybe until episode 10 only. Rest of the episodes really sucks!
Overall: Now I know the reason why you need to wait for the series to be finish, so that you can really give a good criticism about the series that you have watched and I say that I am really dissapointed with its ending. I still hoping though that there will be season 2 because there are lots missing piece in the story. And come on, how come the ending has not been close with a good kiss.
