Always here in DRAMALAND
Worth a watch? Maybe...
Honestly, the reason why I chose to watch this drama in the first place was that it was Ji Chang Wook's comeback and I was excited for a very long time. And when I finally started watching it, to say I was disappointed would be an understatement.I'd say the story, in general, is very good and the actors played the roles very well. Especially the main leads... they were great. But what didn't work for me is the direction and the script. The plot had so much potential that it went down the sewer when I finally got to watch it. And the casting is another major loophole. The villain of the show was more like a comedian to me and I felt like they could have cast better people.
Ji Chang Wook usually chooses amazing dramas with great plots but this isn't something I expected when I heard he was in a drama. To begin with, my expectations weren't too high but as I said before, I was disappointed with the overall outcome.
Coming to the positives of this drama, if one is sick and tired of watching intense thrillers or horror and needs a break, they can give Melting Me Softly a try. It's not binge-worthy, but it is more like a break from all the noise. It has some really cute moments and the chemistry between the leads is no joke. The familial bonds in this show are something I really like watching and I appreciate the way they portrayed it. There's not much in terms of humor, but it's light-hearted.
I will continue looking forward to JCW's next drama and I'm also a fan of Won Jin Ah after this drama. She's a talented actress.
I'd probably never rewatch Melting Me Softly, but it was alright as long as it lasted. Liking or not liking this drama depends on the person and I'd say it is average.

Short and really sweet!
Just the fact that this bl is Korean should be enough for most people to like it haha. I have watched very few Korean BL's until now but this will definitely stand on the top of my list for a while.Like everyone else, I've been complaining nonstop at how short this drama is, but again, it adds on to the charm of the show. Maybe it wouldn't have been this good and sweet if it was a regular one hour long, 16 episode drama.
I will definitely rewatch this in the future and if you have doubts about watching it, don't. It will hardly take up two hours of your time, but those two hours will be well-spent.

Worth a watch!
To start off, Tine and Sarawat had one of the best chemistry in BL I've seen so far.Like honestly, half the time I forgot they were even acting. They were too cute and adorable. So were the side couples and supporting cast. They all played their role well and it was satisfying to watch.
Tine and Sarawat had a cliche yet a good story to go with their undeniably pulling chemistry and it was all good and great... until the tenth. I can say that the entire show is worth a watch though. If you walk in with zero expectations, u will even leave with a big smile on your face like my sister did.
But unlike my sister, I had expectations and I was a little disappointed like many others with the last three to four episodes. I don't really know what happened, but everything- the acting, the chemistry, the editing, the direction, and even the script deteriorated on a large scale.
When I first started watching 2gether, the eighth episode had just aired and the ratings for the show on MDL was a whopping 9.1. As a fan, it was sad to see the sudden decline in ratings as weeks went by. (I even took a month break after watching ep 11 because I was sad with how it went downhill)
But, even after the disappointment, I can tell you this- the first ten episodes of the show are totally worth the last three that will shorten the length of your grin by a tiny bit. You will laugh, smile, squeal, and turn into a complete fangirl and after ignoring how the show ended, I can say (for myself) that 2gether is a cliche made right. (And I'm saying this only by taking the first 10 episodes into consideration). I will still go around recommending this show to anyone who wants to start off with watching BL or for people who want to watch something light-hearted
I initially gave this show a 9.5/10 (when I first started binge-watching it), but despite the dissatisfactory ending, because I had so much fun watching 2gether, I will still give it an 8.5/10.
