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.
