Un drama ligero, entretenido y sin pretensiones
Empecé a ver este drama por casualidad mientras estaba a mitad de este complicado semestre en la escuela, porque me apareció un clip en Instagram en donde Tine entra por primera vez en el dormitorio de Sarawat y lo encuentra durmiendo, ese clip me dio mucha risa y me motivó a ver este drama.Cabe aclarar que no tenía expectativas y no sabia realmente como estaba conformado el cast ni tenia bien claro de que se trataba, a continuación explico mis impresiones.
Historia:
Teniendo en cuenta que la mayoría de historias BL que he visto o tienden a ser algo melodramáticas o que son demasiado fantasiosas, 2gether me parece que tiene una historia refrescante.
Un estudiante promedio universitario de primer año (Tine) que empieza a ser perseguido por un chico abiertamente gay (Green) busca ayuda en un estudiante popular (Sarawat) para que lo ayude haciéndose pasar por su novio y así deshacerse de Green.
Una premisa que puede sonar algo fuerte pero que haciendo uso del humor Tailandes logran sortear de buena manera ,aunque la historia está basada en una novela si se logra ver inspiración en elementos de drama coreano de comedia, como los momentos entretenidos y chistosos, un poco de melodrama, y un poco de clichés por aquí y por allá, lo suficiente .
Cast y Actuaciones:
Los actores principales me parecen que están bien, aunque si se nota la poca experiencia actuando en la pareja principal lo hacen decentemente, Win tiene muy buen timing como actor de comedia y Bright pues es lo suficientemente atractivo como para estarse fijando en su actuación, el resto del cast lo hacen muy bien, se nota la experiencia que tienen, el grupo de amigos de Tine se siente como un grupo real de amigos universitarios a esa edad, no por nada uno de ellos va a ser el rol principal en otro drama BL.
Musica:
Tiene un buen soundtrack , la música de Scrub y las referencias indies están bien integradas a la historia.
Rewatch Value:
Al ser un drama ligero y con momentos tan cómicos es muy MUY fácil de ver, mientras esperaba los últimos capítulos lo volví a ver y no es para nada tedioso como otros del mismo genero.
No tiene la calificación perfecta para mi, porque concuerdo en que la historia se cae en los últimos dos capítulos, se nota que o les faltaron grabar mas tomas y escenas o fue un problema de de dirección así como edición y no supieron seleccionar bien las escenas para cerrar la historia y no se perdiera el hilo en la historia.
Pero leyendo comparaciones dela novela y el drama, creo que el drama supera a la novela, en el drama logran representar la atracción entre dos personas del mismo sexo como algo natural y no como parte de un fetiche como en la novela.

Okay. So this is my FIRST impression on this movie..*Their chemistry is 1000/100
*They're fucking good looking
*The story from 1-9 is full of sweetness and "kilig" moments.
Now, upon finishing the whole series, I was kinda disappointed. I feel sorry for Win and Bright for this but the story is not that entertaining from Ep. 10 to end, if I'm not mistaken. The story was fast-paced that there's like a lot of unclear scenes that needs to be addressed.
And because of the story of the series, their chemistry starts to fade, this is only my own opinion, okay? I can't longer see them as couples but as brothers. Like, there's no spark on them from Ep.10 or I think Ep.11 ..
If ever they're going to make another series for this, they need to think a better story to bring back their chemistry as couples. Seriously, I'm really, really disappointed on who ever made the story. And I really feel sorry both Win and Bright. I hope people will still like them and disregard the series.
Again, I swear, the story is disappointing and not the actors.

Beautiful Cast, Great Stories, Weak on Romance
Thai film schools turn out some great cinematographers and "2gether" is no exception, with stunning visuals, augmented by a beautiful cast. But the audio production of these dramas always leaves a lot to be desired. A common flaw is the body microphones that get bumped on any kind of physical contact. In this series, all of this could have been pretty easily fixed as there was rarely any important dialogue going on. In Hollywood they do extensive ADR and foley replacement to fix these gaps. It really takes you out of the moment when you hear mics bumped and clothes rustling. Another problem with the sound is mixing background music with in-scene music that's in an incompatible musical key. Who thought that was a good idea? Anyway, with that out of the way, "2gether" was one of the most enjoyable BL dramas I've seen. Other reviewers have pointed out that we never get to see much physical intimacy in this one, and that's a shame because the rest of the drama is firing on all cylinders. But I'm going to give the producers a pass on this criticism because I suspect this is a nod to commercial pressures to play down anything that feels "too gay" for a conservative audience. Aside from the one rather stereotypical ("fem") guy, its refreshing to see bromances portrayed without much gender role baggage. I think this is a first step to transitioning a mainstream audience to higher levels of romantic bromance in the future. Overall, a solid 8.5 due to passionate performances by all of the key actors and good direction.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
I don't know
This series is very known because of its actors, but I can say that the series speaks for itself.Story: First 5 episodes I really like it but when it now in the middle the downfall of the plot is now all I can see, I think the story is not that great as the storyline go further, rather than other GMMTV series especially the BLs.
Acting: Their acting is very lowkey, just like not that great but I really like how they portrait their character, The only thing I love here is Green on how he really makes the series colorfull.
Rewatch: I think I never gonna rewatch it because the series lacks a storyline that will give me the reason to rewatch it.
Overall: Overall the character really make their portrayal great but I think the acting is not that good and the plot as a whole.

Sigh. So I just finished this drama tonight. And I have a lot of thoughts. So here we go:I'll agree with most of the consensus on here that Eps 1-11 are the better ones though there's plot holes and the editing left a lot to be desired. Those many camera shots/zooms in certain scenes gave me whiplash and in some moments the episodes felt like they had been butchered tremendously. I mean characters went from A to Z without any real development at times. I understand the plot needed that at times like the reveal of Sarawat's pov in episode 11 yet I felt lost in certain areas at times while watching in other episodes. It just felt like major scenes had been cut because some stuff didn't make sense. I was left asking myself wait was something major cut here? darn... I'm lost lol. The 180 change in Sarawat starting with ep 12 came out of nowhere too I was left going: HUH?
Like many I thought the chemistry between Bright and Win was amazing those first few episodes then it just....... I don't know. It fizzled the last two episodes along with the story line. I've seen people say that Bright checked out in the end, I agree but so did Win. Both were so eh in eps 12-13 I felt nothing in their scenes together or alone. I wonder if it was due to them having issues with m/m intimacy or was it something else? did they both hate where the script was going with the inclusion of Pam? Maybe. Who knows what really happened.
Now, it sounds like I'm complaining way too much and that I hated 2gether lol. No. I didn't episodes 1-11 have to be some of my favorites in a BL series and had it ended in episode 11 I think I would have rated this series higher but alas.....
If I do a rewatch anytime soon I'll ignore those two last episodes and stop at 11. Better for my enjoyment of this story. That's what I recommend others to do too if a rewatch is wanted Overall I'm giving this a 7.5/10 because of the last two episodes and some of the plot holes. I thought the acting was good enough up to episode 12 then it just went downhill with the rest of the show smh.

Secondly music, ini something yang aku suka dari 2gether, scrubb is intelligent band also their songs too yang ngebuat setiap sweet scene mengalir mulus dan membawa kebahagian itu sendiri. It's like love of my life can be written in music. Jujur, sangat sulit nemuin thai series yang ceritanya bercerita lewat music. So, this is a thing yang bakal aku kangen dari 2gether yaitu kata perkata dari lagu-lagu scrubb tentang perjalanan Sarawat Tine.
Thirdly story, oh wow yah ini something yang emang aku agak kecewa ya. Jujur, dari awal konsep mereka memaksakan untuk mengabungkan 2 novel sekaligus hanya dalam 13 episode, aku udah punya perasaan alur ceritanya gak akan mulus, that's a thing was so messed up. Tapi, untung-nya aku sangat berterima kasih mereka gak mengacak-acak semua Sarawat flirting 101 dari novel, I can't imagine if it was happened. Awalnya aku gak mau membanding-bandingin novel dengan seriesnya. Tapi, come on hal-hal penting yang dari novel gak diangkat ke series dan ini salah satu hal yang sangat fatal menurut aku. Hal yang paling fatal seperti yang aku bilang membawa 2 novel dalam 1 season, dan itu gak cukup, terlebih lagi buku vol 2 -nya banyak valid points yang menurut aku engga bisa di hilangin karena sekali engga di angkat itu udah menghapus alur selanjutnya. Sangat kecewa tidak ada pertemuan Sarawat dan Phukong, kenyataannya mereka siblings tapi mereka cuman ketemu di 1 episode like udah gini aja? mereka kaka-beradik come on. Too much plot hole it was really suck. Menangis diri ini memikirkan-nya. Terakhir... mereka mengakhiri-nya dengan keadaan yang sangat awkward. It's not like aku mengharapkan adegan kissing, nah lie, aku sangat mengharapkan ciuman yang passionate seperti di novel and sampe senyum-senyum sendiri dan bener berasa puas. Jujur aku gak merasa puas sama ending-nya and aku masih ngerasa janggal.
Overall, it was still bl series with simple story and adem untuk ditonton kalo kamu pengen senyam-senyum liat flirting-an Sarawat. Tetep aku recommend tapi jangan mengharap banyak karena aku mengharapkan ketika series ini selesai harusnya ngerasain full banget bukan ambyar kaya begini.

Best BL by far
Okay so I've recently gotten into BL(for some reason I didn't think they existed, thank heavens I stumbled upon them) but I've watched a lot of BLs since then. 2gether has got to be my no.1 BL of all those I have watched.The show was cute and had it's fun and serious moments. Bright's(Sarawat) acting was really on point in this drama, after the first episode you start to realize that there's more to his story than what meets the eye. His actions and facial expressions gave away so much but because you don't know the ending your mind starts to wonder more and more and more about his true feelings for Tine. When we get to episode 6/7 your mind finally gets to relax because all the puzzle pieces are finally fitting together. If I had to give the award for best actor it would be to him, he nailed his role.
Win(Tine) also did well in the show especially for his first ever drama. There were parts where his acting was a bit awkward but only minor parts if I'm being honest. Tine is this out going, oblivious guy, happy go lucky etc and Win portrayed him well.
THE POSITIVES
What I loved the most was the story line, it was simple but so heart warming to watch. I liked how Tine is completely oblivious to Sarawat's true feelings but at the same time it's like he was aware of his feelings for Sarawat but wasn't really paying attention to them?(idk if this makes sense).
I loved how cute Sarawat could be, to everyone else he is this cold guy who seems to not care about others but to his friends and Tine he is kind of a dork. The boob grabbing scenes were to die for, the killer lines such as: "keep staring at me like that and I'll kiss you til you drop, you're annoying", "If you were my boyfriend, I'd kiss you from your hair to your shadow" had me rolling off the bed. Especially the first line I quoted, like why would someone you met just that day be annoying? And because of that thought you can't help but click to the next episode in hopes to find out.
Tine not being aware but at the same time being aware of his feelings towards Sarawat was gold to me. Some scenes he'd be angry at Sarawat for saying or doing something to him, like the first time they kissed and then Sarawat passes out. Then there would be moments whereby he'd be blushing at the things Sarawat did or said. I love how he opens up to him about his feelings for the first time in episode 6 and kind of runs away from him after realizing that the cats out of the bag.
I liked that their relationship wasn't sexualized a lot, it gave us kissing scenes and the super intimate scenes were left to our imagination.
The friendships between the characters were nice as well, super supportive and caring friends though sometimes it got a bit too much but in the end they made the show more romantic 'cause our main couple now had to prove to their friends and each other that they truly love one another.
The comedy was gold, the romance was gold, the cuteness was gold as well.
THE NEGATIVES
What I didn't like about the show was the side couples, it was fine in the first few episodes but the more you went in the more I felt it was taking our view of off the main couple.
I also didn't like that there wasn't much skin ship between Sarawat and Tine. I think they kiss 4 times in the whole 13 episodes, yes they cuddle and sleep in the same bed but at some point you as the viewer start to want more. There were some scenes where I thought a kiss should happen but instead we got a pat on the head from Sarawat (last episode when they get back together). Then there's Tine always saying no to a kiss or being intimate, like I get it but at the same time 90% of Sarawat's advances were rejected by Tine. The plus was when he allowed Sarawat to grab his boob at the café, that made me really happy.
I would rewatch the series but not the last 3 episodes(just the happy moments). To me those episodes felt like fillers, like: okay we gave them fluff and comedy and some drama but not enough drama. Let's add this random girl into the story line and rattle their relationship. Even when we watch the scenes of when Sarawat first fell in love with Tine we don't see her at all in the back ground or next to Sarawat. The last 3 episodes would have been way better without her and the trust issues that arise between Sarawat and Tine. The writers could have focused more on the love song instead of adding an extra character on top of that. If they had focused more on that those last 3 episodes would have been the best out of the rest in my opinion. It would have been more romantic and funny and cute.
I also didn't like how they played down the romantic scenes. Sarawat would say the deepest things to Tine that had my heart melting and Tine blushing beat red and then he'd kill the mood by saying: Do you think I just confessed my love to you?(episode 7). Like, we already know that you meant it so why take it back?
Or when he said: If you were my boyfriend, I'd kiss you from your hair to your shadow. Yes, Tine tries to brush it off by saying he is a perv, but you can see that he was affected by those words. Instead of saying something extremely corny and cliched that would have made Tine blush even further he down plays it by saying it was a practice line for when they run into Green. There's so many scenes in which this is done that I just want to crawl in the screen and yell LIES! ALL LIES!! but it's fine, even though I didn't like some of those they still added romance to that scene.
The ending, I wanted more for the ending. I feel the side couples had better cute endings than our main couple. Yes, they are playing guitar in front of the new club members but how much has their relationship progressed after a year?
Over all, I loved this BL. It might seem like I have more negatives than positives but the positives outweigh the negatives. We get our happy ending for everyone and I felt sad once I had finished it. I justed wanted someone from MIB(Man in Black) to come wipe my memory of 2gether away so I could watch it again for the first time.
It was beautiful and something I recommend you watch

The beginning is great. The ending? Not so great.
I have mixed views about this drama.First I would like to start off with all that disappointed me. And that would be the last few episodes.
The character development and their relations were suddenly messed up.
I was lured to watch the show because of the cute chemistry between the two leads, but in the last episodes all that was left was angst. Disappointing.
You should not built up a nice chemistry and cute characters only to push everything into a pit full of angst.
Something that made me more sad than disappointed was the fact that Tine, the ever cheerful, happy-go-lucky guy suddenly became a paranoid damsel in distress, not being able to take a stand for himself and waiting for Sarawat to 'save him'. Suddenly a clear line was drawn between them, Sarawat : the alpha, and Tine : The Omega. Freaking ridiculous bs.
It wasn't the best decision to bring in the characters like Mil (Third wheel eyebrow guy) and Phukong (Sarawat's brother). I found the formaer clichéd and the latter unnecessary. Just my opinion.
Also we never came to know why Type was crying. Boo.
Now, coming to the more pleasant and delightful part of the show that actually made me go through till the end.
Tine and Sarawat. My heart.
Cute guys, cute chemistry and really cute smiles.
And all that cuteness up till the part where they move in together was 'the stuff'.
Their friends being so nice and supportive is always a pleasure to watch.
Sarawat's one sided love for Tine was so cute.
Also Tine and Sarawat. Oh did I mention that already? XD
I would definitely ewatch it anyday, but only upto the part without the angst and sudden bad changes in the personalities of the characters.
Lastly I would like to add, the cuteness definitely overshadowed those flaws for me. And I would absolutely forgive the bad plot changes if they give me just one more episode filled with the chemistry the leads had in the beginning.

i love this show
I have watched many bl shows and sure the actors may be lacking but they have been trying their best especially for one of the main lead,Tine also known as Win Metawin,this is his very first project.BEING VERY HONEST HERE,I COULD NOT TELL IT WAS HIS FIRST WORK because it looked very natural and he showed his feelings very well with the plot.He did not shy away from his work.Sarawat also known as Bright Vachirawit has been in many shows and series and by far,i feel like he has improved so much and his dedication in his acting can be seen.IN MY OPINION,i think perfect acting for this plot would make it boring as due to some awkward scenes and such,this show was able to make viewers think why is he showing such a hurt expression?why is he just staring at tine?.i believe due to their capabilities and their knowledge they had of each other and the way they felt around each other made the show incredibly good because thats how its supposed to be.i have not read the novel but for those people who have not read the novel and they watch the show,they can understand that the scenes may be awkward but thats what builds up and easily settles with the romantic flirting scenes.LIKE THERE IS A BALANCE.I doubt there's any scene i did not like,i enjoy this show alot and the songs in this show are amazing,i repeat,they are amazing.I initially thought,i would not like it but as you hear more of it and as you see the lyrics,you will realise how amazing the songs are.It really helped me out alot in my month of pain.People can have their opinions to like it or not but if u want a show that is able to give you mini heart squeezes and smiles ,this is the show for you.In addition if you are not super fond of BL sexual scenes,this show is also very highly recommended,because they dont even have those scenes.ITS ALL SO FLUFFY THAT I REWATCH T HIS EVERY SINGLE TIME I GET A CHANCE TO,1)BECAUSE ITS FLUFFY AND I NEED TO SQUEAL AND 2) BECAUSE ITS REALISTIC KNOWING ABOUT THE CHARACTER'S BACKRGOUND IN THE SHOW.All in all ,this is my opinion and my review,if you want to have an amazing night wondering,squealing and ripping your pillow,this is the show.:))Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
It's hard to appreciate this BL series that is going downhill. I am cringing on some part of acting, not gonna mention which part but I'm sure we have the same.
My final verdict. "its a meh"
On the good side their OST are my favorites plus their chemistry are great too.
Okay this requires 500 characters and I will try to add unnecessary words just to post my short review.
I'll just promote some of the series that I finished and appreciated for a while now because they stole my heart and a lot of tears.
In no particular order!!!!
1. Until We Meet Again
2. Love By Chance
3. LoveSick
4. Tharntype
5. Sotus and Sotus S

Let’s start with the positive aspects. First of all, the cast was great, I can’t complain about anyone. Also, the characters they played were mostly well-written, they felt relatable and genuine. I could feel the author of “Theory of Love” (which I loved); unlike other BL series, the characters didn’t feel cartoonish or totally unrealistic. The music was on point, obviously, the screentime of the side characters was okay and the amount of humour was just right. The overall storytelling was smooth and never boring, although it sometimes jumped a little too quickly from one scene to the next one.
However, I expected more. After the first, say, 5 episodes, some more story development and more drama should have occurred; it just started going in circles at some point. When there was some tension, it was usually quickly resolved within the course of just one episode, so I could not get invested in it. The emotions of the characters felt very real, but it all went too quick to really get me emotional while watching. It was all fun and sweet, no doubt, but just too “light” for me to fully enjoy it.
