An awesome idea- I couldn't get enough of it
I honestly don't see why people are saying it shouldn't have been made. While, yes, it doesn't add anything into the original plot I believe it shows us aspects and sides of the characters that 2gether failed to show us, it also made up for some of the biggest flops in the original series such as that damned episode 12.I also see the acting improving like A LOT A LOT and that makes me insanely happy, I loved seeing how Sarawat and Tine's life takes a twist and how that only brings them closer to each other, I also can't get enough of ManType, they are probably the cutest couple in the whole series.
Also, I'm glad they didn't continue with that brotherzone thing I almost broke the screen- But they also didn't give us much of Mil and Phukong.
Adding to that, I think BossPear is the cutest thing to ever be encountered everything about the couple is so cute- Heads up to the writers for adding them
As for the ost, I think they did an AMAZING JOB with the music.. I can't believe we lived to listen to such amazing songs.
I don't believe 2gether should have a proper second season after this, They gave us all we wanted and more, I honestly am still in disbelief with the ending scene.
I would 100% recommend this to anyone

Fresh, New and Just An Amazing Experience.
Starting with the story, this has to have one of the most well written plots I have seen in BL and trust me, I have seen a lot, some of the plots were good but the relationship was toxic and IM SO GLAD THIS SERIES DID WHAT IT DID.THIS IS GOING TO CONTAIN SPOILERS SO ALL I FAN SAY IS: I WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
I loved all of the characters, even the antagonists and the depth that each character had made them so much more charming to me. Aoey was such a pathetic and pitiful character, I just had absolutely no way I can hate him, the entirety of the fact that he's a bad person and he KNOWS how horrible he is both breaks my heart and makes me like him more.
I adore how this series tackled some very sensitive topics that are barely talked about and how it simply called out the hypocrisy of the BL industry, from the management and system to the fans, as a BL fan, this opened my eyes so much and I'm so happy it did.
The fact that they addressed how harmful NC scenes are?? Made me so happy, I have never liked NC scenes and honestly I don't think anyone should. The entire bit of "My Engineer" was too real... Really really too real, That shows how harmful those kinds of shows are.
On a random note, I love how Gene commented on BL being "just a fantasy", That was so true on so many levels and it drives me crazy.
Also, Gene's dad is Bisexual? Damn, that's just.. it's amazing, I swear to god, this representation was top notch, I was so happy to see a bisexual character and the coming out episode just made me cry.
ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT TIFFY AND TUM?? THIS TYPE OF REPRESENTATION, THIS TYPE OF RELATIONSHIP WAS ALL I EVER NEEDED IN LIFE. I just completely adore their relationship, one thing I have a problem with is Tiffy's audacity to just assume Tim's sexuality ??? I didn't like that, BUT WHEN HE RAPPED-
As much as I loved this story, I will have to admit that there were some pretty.. boring scenes and stuff that felt like they were empty, I haven't skipped almost any scene but there were some parts that felt empty and kind of unnecessary.
Now for the casting, I LOVED IT. The characters were so perfectly alligned with the actors, I loved every actor and I swear, only like 2 seconds in did I comment on the actors' visuals.
Kao's visuals will never fail to make my jaw drop, He is so incredibly handsome and I honestly loved his acting too.
And Up, Up is so adorable and I just couldn't get enough of his astronomical acting skills.
The osts were also super catchy but I didn't like them as much as I would usually like most osts, REGARDLESS, I loved this show.
AND THE ENDING, THE ENDING MADE ME SO EUPHORIC OH MY GOD I FEEL LIKE IM FLOATING. I swear I was crying not long before the ending, The way the characters broke the fourth wall was so SMART, the creativity of the writer of this show is amazing.

I'm seriously in love
Before we get into anything and because sPoIlErs, I would just like to say I HIGHHHHLLLLLYYYYY RECOMMEND THIS. HANDS DOWN ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE, This had me going through emotional rollercoasters every 3 seconds.Everything about this series was so beautiful. In terms of cinematography, I was astonished, The sets were beautiful and they know how to capture from so many angles and were able to show us the character's emotions by that.
The whole theme of the series is really really interesting and something I've never seen before. The way each episode was the name of a movie was incerdibly genius and how each episode really had represented its title.
Don't get me started on the acting and the storyline. The actors were insanely talented, Not even lying I only watched this because I knew Gun was an amazing actor and he REALLY is, The way he potrayed Third is just pure talent, EVERYONE else made me go crazy with how great they were at acting and how well they potrayed their characters.. I swear to god.
At first sight, the plot seemed pretty heartbreaking to me but at the same time it was simple. There wasn't many unnessecary conflicts and it was great. Each scene was interesting to watch and I couldn't get enough of it.
The character development was a little unexpected to me which makes it rEALLY good. Okay but I can't praise Off enough for how he potrayed Khai, I went from hating him to falling in absolute love with the character. Khai is actually one of the most interesting character's I've ever seen.
There were three scenes that actually drove me to tears. First, the scene where Khai and Bone were talking at the bar's bathroom and Third overhears them, That scene made my heart drop, It really showed how Khai couldn't be trusted then.. it tore me.
The second one was the scene where Khai goes to the beach to "clear his head" and realizes he has feelings for Third. I don't know but something about Khai realizing what's he's done and the way he spoke just made me cry.
The third one.. I don't even need to say it.. you all know what it is if you've watches the series. That scene was everything to me.. I swear to god-
My personal favourite scene was the scene where Khai asks Third out infront of everyone in the theatre.. I can't express enough how much I love it, That scene made me almost swallow my pillow..
The music was amazing. I mean, that same song will be stuck in my head for the next 3 years.
Anyways- I wrote a lot- If you haven't finished it I TOTALLY RECOMMEND IT AND I AM TOTALLY REWATCHING IT ONE DAY

The casting was CRAZY, Han Gi Chan potrayed Tae Joo really well and the role just perfectly fit like a cinderella shoe same goes to Jang Eui Soo playing Kang Gook. The two's chemistry was just *chefs kiss* I honestly cannot gather enough words to describe how amazing their acting and chemistry were.. It's crazy.
The storyline (although somewhat heartbreaking) was so cool, I thought it was going to be somewhat stereotypical BUT THEY TRUELY DID NOT DISAPPOINT. It was also filled with so many heart fluttering scenes >A<, I would like to hug the writer for being an incerdible human being I honestly love her/him/them.
DON'T GET ME STARTED WITH THE MUSIC. THE OSTS OF THIS DRAMA WERE AMAZING, EVERY SINGLE OST WAS BETTER THAN THE OTHER I SWEAAARRRR I'M SO HAPPY ABOUT THE OSTS. AAAAAA
This is the type of drama EVERYONE WANTED and I honestly love everything about it, I'm so so so happy that this drama exists istg ㅠㅅ ㅠ
My one and only complain is just how short it is BUT IT'S OKAY SINCE THE MOVIE VERSION IS GONNA BE OUT SOON YAYAYAYYA EUGSHKIGEHOD WOOO
I'm so sorry, I'm kind of losing my mind because it's too good-

THIS SHOW IS ACTUALLY INSANE. LOOKING FOR SOMETHING TO MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE A KID AGAIN??? WAAAATTCHHH
Where do I fucking start? I just finished watching this like 10 minutes ago and I don't want to smile anymore. This show is actually crazy and I have no idea how coherent this review would turn out because my brain wants to shut down.My School President is what happens when you put A FUCKING TALENTED DIRECTOR and give him a simple plot. It goes from something not too short or ordinary to ABSOLUTELY ASTOUNDING, its both something light and fun yet genuine and I LOVE ITTT. The cinematography of this show goes HARDDD and it's not even of just nature or pretty places, the entire show is so cheerful and colorful it makes you want to smile widely.
The cast is just PERFECT. They're mostly new faces that have never been presented in this way and they are SO GOOD AT WHATEVEE THEY'RE DOING !!! There is NOT a single second where I could say the acting is bad or even not good because???? Whoever paired Fourth and Gemini together needs to be paid MORE!!! They bring such a refreshing pure chemistry to the table and obviously they are both gorgeous gorgeous boys. Every character feels so perfectly in place with the actor that plays it, Fourth as Gun??? Gemini as Tinn??? Winny as Win??? Satang as Sound??? Ford as Por??? Mark as Tiw??? Captain as Yo??? Prom as Phat??? THE PARENTS AS WELL??? EVERYTHIIINNGG IS JUST PERFECT. WHOEVER WAS IN THAT CASTING ROOM I ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOU. PLEASE MARRY ME, THE CHARACTERS ARE SO PERFECT.
As far as story goes, it was SO WELL EXECUTED??? and it is SO ADORABLE??? every episode has the capacity to make you so excited it drives you out of your mind (well, there were only two episodes that kind of fell flat TO ME but if you've been watching gmmtv for a while theres ALWAYS a filler episode). Tinn being revealed to have had a crush on Gun since FOREVER in the VERY FIRST EPISODE is one of THEE CUTEST THINGS EVER and I think other shows should take NOTES!! I do enjoy the very same trope without being revealed but this was just perfect. Everything he'd ever done being for Gun makes me so emotional, he is honestly the sweetest, purest, most adorable character I've ever watched in a show. If I was Gun I would be crying and losing my sanity by episode 3 ? (which, to be fair is when Gun discovered his feelings <3). Tinn and Gun's dynamic literally warms my heart so much, every time they appear on screen I'm absolutely SWOONING!! They make me feel like I'm youthful again (despite the fact that we're the same age, or I'd say I'm even younger than both of them, but obviously not in the same life stage). This show is giving me new ideas on how to fall in love, but my first love is far gone I guess ㅠㅠ
I wholeheartedly love both of them so much, I love how Tinn always strives to give his best and when he commits to something he COMMITS!!! He's such a gentle and kind person, and the nicest friend ever, always there to cheer others up. He's always been the shoulder for Gun to cry on and he LISTENSSS!!!! LIKE REALLY REALLY LISTENS!!! I want to put him inside my pocket i just love him so much. He is the og winner, bro won at life by getting Gun to be his man like AAAAAA!!!! but is he the one winning or is it Gun HMMMM
And GUN!!!! GUN IS MY BABY!!! He's the bestest boy ever, the love he has for his family and his friends, he is a true BLESSING!!! The intro of the show showing how passionate he is and him continuing to hold that passion true to his heart!!! He is such an inspiration. He is also so compassionate and so gentle (also he's head empty no thoughts but I GET HIM!! He is so funny) and did I mention that my soul leaves my body the moment he speaks in that soft voice of his.... Like the way I might DIE?? The way you can tell he cherishes Chinzhilla and his mother makes me want to cry. He is ready to fight the world for the people he loves, and he proves it time and time after!! Fourth did an insane job portraying him EVERYBODY SAY THANK YOU NATTAWAT!!!
The way I'm lowkey a member of Chinzhilla now like you guys don't get it these are MY BESTIES TOO!!! I love them I love them I LOVE THEM!!? They are one hell of a success story, everybody say THANK YOU TINN FOR REDEEMING THEM??? The bond they have with each other is something that I so deeply crave and will die to get. I love every single one of them so much, Yo, their silly little guitarist who gets in trouble ALWAYS and his arch with Nook was INSANE, they are soo cute <333. Sound??? SOUND IS MY MAN!! Satang is so hot for playing him, what started as an angry cocky super talented bassist became a little downbad puppy (that is still super talented and a bassist though dont get me wrong) WHOEVER DECIDED TO WRITE HIM IN LOVE WITH WIN PLS COME HERE LET ME HUG YOU!?!?! I love to see him fight with Win and everyone (I swear I'm normal) he's my boy. Win is my favorite head empty hotheaded loser, bro literally thinks with his ass <3 respectfully BUT HIS HEART IS SO FULL OF LOVE FOR HIS BROS??? HE IS MY EVERYTHING ACTUALLY. Por is top 10 people I need in my life, also head empty no thoughts but thats what these idiots have in common they are literally so cute. Also I think we need to COMMEND Ford on his singing skills because Come Closer is about to be my most listened to song EVER!!! BACK TO POR he is so cheerful and SO SUPPORTIVE also a fashion king like OH MY GODDD!?!? I love him so much, the way I fell down the stairs sobbing when he was waiting for the members after HotWave :(( . Pat is one hell of a loser, lowkey 6th wheeling is CRAZZYYY he is actually kinda iconic for that, probably one of the dumbest in the club.
I need to talk about Tiwson or I'll die because THATS MY MANNN!!! HE IS THE AXIS OF THIS SHOW!!! If it weren't for him Tinn would've been in the trenches dying whenever he sees Gun actually!! The way he is everything. Him siezing EVERY opportunity and wasting no time to help everybody in this show is insane, father of 5, director, cupid, choreographer??? HE IS THE REAL MAIN CHARACTER!!! Mark outdid himself with Tiw but the issue is, Mark ALWAYS outdoes himself. Nothing makes me laugh harder than the fourth wall breaking he did multiple times, I LOVE HIMM!??
The portrayal of the parents of this show and how supportive they are of their children is something we need to genuinely give a huge kudos to!!! Tinn's mother is probably one I've never seen before, the way she gives Tinn space slowly despite knowing she'll get worried about him shows that she trusts him. Gun's mother is an angel, unconditionally supporting her child in a world so cruel, the way she raised him to be so carefree and happy is enough proof that she quite literally deserves the world. Tinn's father is our best friend actually, from the guitar to the love he has to his family, thats my guy actually!!
The musical aspect of this show is THE BEST THING ABOUT IT. All the little "music videos" in each episode quite literally transform you to another dimension, the way they are used for storytelling is so genius. For a person who loves music and singing — like me! — THIS IS A MAGIC FORMULA. I know what you hear about thai dramas or what you've seen when ir comes to singing but EVERYBODY WHO HAS BEEN NEAR A MICROPHONE IN THIS DRAMA IS SO INSANELY TALENTED?? if I come out with any form of damage from this drama its the damage Fourth's mesmerizing voice has done to MY HEART... AND GEMINI?? I ALREADY KNEW HE WAS A GOOD SINGER PRIOR TO WATCHING THIS SHOW BUT OH HE IS A GOOOOD GOOOD SINGER???? HOLY SHIT HE HAS THE VOICE OF AN ANGEL?? ALL OF THE OSTS IN THIS SHOW ARE SOMETHING TO ADD TO YOUR PLAYLIST LIKE FOREVER.
Final notes: I cannot cram all my thoughts into one review and I know that this barely does it justice because this show is everything, BUT I LOVE THIS SHOW SO MUCH, I think its my new favorite show of all time, but who's to say? One of the few shows I might rewatch one day, even though I DONT do rewatches. I need to personally thank the entire cast and crew for making this show what it is!! THANKKKK YOUUUUU MY SCHOOL PRESIDENT!!!!! THANK YOU!!!?
