overhyped
the story is shite and gets boring quickly once the pining is over. the acting is mid. people just hype this shit up cause the lead actors are gorgeous. attempted fluff with very little plot, story, or immersiveness in the first place. youd say if thats the case itd watch easily but it rly doesnt. gets so boring so quick. story has potentional in the beginning but then it seemed like they got bored and just got it over with which ends in nonstop fluff that doesnt even make your heart beat all that fast, they feel more like close friends to meCet avis était-il utile?
A great choice for beginners of BL genre
First of all I'm not a very in-depth reviewer. This is my 1st time writing a review, my ratings are mostly based on the feels I get while watching the series. this series was my 1st BL drama and I really enjoyed watching this. I wasn't very familiar with BL genre and this series helped me get into BL genre .Sarawat and Tine are perfect together and everyone really needs friends like Fong ,Man & Boss in their Life .
Music of this series is very good, side characters are also good specially Dim & Green .
The only issue I have with this series is ending was very average even a beginner won't be satisfied with The ending
OVERALL I REALLY HAD FUN WATCHING THIS BL DRAMA
I have already rewatched this series for 3 times and i recommend everyone to watch this great series

Fluff at its best
This is a really sweet and fun romcom with several nice couples, music and a dash of awkwardness. The first episode was a bit low on the humor part but second to eleventh episodes where a feast for the aye and just fun to watch as Icicle or male god and smiles go from fake to real, hetero to bi , hate to love couple in the most adorable way yes all those common tropes in one that are allot of fun to watch. The side characters and side stories are 80% sweet 15% stalkers and 5% annoying at times but over all very lovable.The main couple is adorable but it bothers me that one seems to have to want be more physical than the other a common theme in many dramas. Why cant we just see two people want to kiss each other instead of the no means yes? or no means just convince me more? the line is not crossed, there are no forced kisses or so just not very mutual though the feeling grow to be very mutual its the physical part that does not seem to sync. Still a very sweet story and adorable character growth with lots of fun fluffy scenes.
Then there is some unnecessary trouble that dragged down the overall experience and score for this show but all in all definitely an easy drama that is worth a watch.

Untuk musik, gue kasih 10 karena menurut gue ost nya bagus bagus. Gue sampe dengerin berulang ulang.
Sebenernya pemainnya bagus dan keren, cuman buat acting menurut gue masih agak kurang, karena ditunjang sama story yang biasa aja.

Hmmmmm
The two main characters are fabulous. Both very handsome and good actors. I guess what I didn’t understand is that he wanted to be with him but wouldn’t let him kiss or touch him. Maybe this is a cultural thing that I am ignorant of. No one ever said I love you either, yet tears fell. It was sweet and funny but once was enough for me. I think it is aimed at an audience much younger than me. Worth a watch if you are a teenager. Story moves along at a good pace. Other stories run along side it. Some things left unanswered which is a bit annoying. I was hooked but I wanted more from it I guess.Cet avis était-il utile?
Acting/Cast- Win showcase his talent on the last episodes of the series in first he is like being himself which is good I think you can create a really good character in that way. Next is music.... Oh is there another character?? Fine let's talk about Bright i think he's good because base on his data he went in to a lot of series so?? What happen on this series?? Oh my god i think he is just misguided , the prod shoud have known better. There's always a room for improvement and a door to get out JUST KIDDING. A CONSTANT REACTION ON EVERY SCENE. rawr
Music- uhhmmm good yeah good
Rewatch Value- Hmmm I think I can rewatch this whole series in an hour and a half because ep.13 just explains everything Nah JK. Its worth a rewatch but i think i will drop this because you know i want to explore in this genre, I want to expand so rewatching this is like climbing up an endless tree and nothing to do with it because it's endless.

Every time Mil and Sarawat shared screen-space, frankly all that aggression and possessiveness was so off-putting. Even more when Tine suddenly couldn't utter a word in their presence. (wife trope at work here obviously.) Why did his character suddenly change just because he liked a boy?
The real relationship's pacing is also so wack. They get into a relationship, a completely new thing for both of them and bam, they're suddenly living together.Time passes. They share a freaking mattress but they don't lounge there together (which they had in the first few episodes, remember) there's no silly discussions, no seeking comfort and cheering each other on bad days (that stomach ache scene broke me), no doing chores together, no getting irritated by each other's quirks,no making up after small disagreements, no bugging each other for fun, no looking at each other affectionately. Basically no emotional intimacy whatsoever, I could go on.
The reason why this ending seems empty, is because developmentally their relationship is still where it was when Mil entered the picture- same insecurities, same lack of communication.
The ever changing haircuts gave me the impression that some of the last episode was shot earlier. The acting is stunted and distant just when they should be most comfortable with each other. Fong is the only consistent and sane character in the drama that I can stand behind.
Gmmtv is always like this, "Hey guys here's this new cool shiny thing" and so you think, "Ohhhhhh! nice, really interesting stuff.I'm so hyped, let me have a closer look." So you start walking closer to a get a better look and just when you get close enough, your jaw slack with wonder (That was me from ep 1-4), out comes a sledgehammer that just smashes that beautiful thing to pieces. They really do end it with a bang, a completely unnecessary one.
In the end, it's not really all that bad. It's just that expectations were created that were never met. Ep 1- 4 took us so high that the fall down hurt more than usual.

More Bromance
At the beginning the story was more interesting when they were fake dating but then when they start to date in real it got boring their wasnt much skinships barely any intimacy I thought that at the end of the show we could get a good kiss scene also the bus scene was the perfect time for a kiss. They kinda ruined the ending after the whole fake dating was finished I became more interested into the side ship of Man and Type. Phukong and Mil relationship is weird after not being able to get Tine he goes for Phukong as he was a second option does sarawat even accept the relationship considering all the things Mil has done.Cet avis était-il utile?
I don't blame the actors, because they were wonderful. I felt a strong chemistry between the two leads, the side couples and the supporting characters.
The story developed and unfolded successfully for the first 11 Episodes...but then the final two Episodes felt like they came from a different series altogether, as if they were simply tacked on from bits and pieces of left over material. I fault the director, script writer and editor for the abrupt change in direction of the series. It was as if the creators chickened out in the end, going for formulaic plot devices and a tacked on Hollywood (or Bollywood) style movie musical ending, none of which served the character development well.
I just did not believe that two lovers who had spent the past 11 Episodes building up a strong chemistry and bond between them, could all of a sudden and for no reason (that I understood) completely stop communicating, lose trust in each other and act completely out of their established characters.
The chemistry died between the leads in the final two episodes. They went from lovers to strangers to buddies. Since all these episodes were filmed in advance together and the actors maintained such a strong and convincing chemistry and connection in Episodes 1-11, I must blame the director, script writer and editors for Episode 12 and 13.
How did Tine go from a strapping, active protagonist to a wailing passive Damsel in Distress? It was not believable.
Nor did I buy that the two leads did not kiss each other at all after they became a couple and what was with all the head patting? Was that some kind of short hand for affection. I did not buy it. It was almost like this series was subject to some kind of 1950's Hollywood Production Code. It robbed the characters of authenticity.
Moreover, the use of the Scrubb sound track that started off so nicely ended up being overused to the point that it became a gimmick and really detracted from the story in the end.
When I compare 2gether to some of my favorite BL's, it becomes clear what went wrong. The leads in Addicted/Heroin stayed in character to point that I believed they were real people. Same with the leads in Tharn Type , Theory of Love and My Tee...they were convincing because they did not break character...I believed in them...I believed they were real.
Unfortunately, the editing of 2gether did not allow the leads to stay true to the characters that they had created in the first 11 Episodes. I think the cast of 2gether is so fantastic that they deserve a better send off than what they got and I am hoping a 2nd season of 2gether can redeem this first season and give the characters the satisfying end that they deserved.

Overhyped
Some people might hate me for this but I do not think it deserves its hype. I watched every episode religiously on GMMTV hoping that by some episode I would think "Wow this is amazing", but alas that day did not come. What killed it for me is that the storyline is overused and bland. A drama set in a university setting? Already have seen this 15 million other times. Next! A drama about a straight guy turned gay in the span of what? Like a few months(I don't remember)?. Ok you mean like every other bl drama in existence. Next! But I guess GMMTV is smart because I keep crawling back to watch this type of drama despite bashing it 24/7. I like Bright and Win but the acting did not do anything for me. Despite this, I give them the benefit of the doubt for the fact that they haven't been acting in these type of shows for the longest. All in all it was another cookie cutter drama that will unfortunately won't stick in my head for any other reason than Bright and Win's handsome faces.Cet avis était-il utile?

I've been an avid watcher and reader of BL stories, my first Thai bl series was 2gether the series, I've heard the series and it was really hyped up, so I went to watch it, at the first episodes you really feel the spark but when the episodes goes by, it slowly loses it's spark, I was really disappointed when in the last episodes they squeezed the conflict and ending, which made it looked rushed and not appealing, I didn't like that even though Sarawat knew that his boyfriend is uncomfortable with his ex-gf he still continued to talk to her etc. They did not do justice with the side couples, they literally threw them aside, ManType and FrankDrake deserved better, they should've developed more and have more screen time, because in the end they looked forced and really rushed. I also hoped that the friends of the leads should also been emphasized more to show more connection between the main leads. Overall, I think that 2gether the series is overhyped to the point that it covers the noticeable flaws that can be seen throughout the series, it's not the best bl series, there are so many bl that are overlooked. If you want to watch thai bl or a beginner , you should start from Sotus, Theory of love, Dark Blue Kiss, etc. They are definitely worth watching and the hype! Cet avis était-il utile?
It started to be a promising light college romance between two handsome students, built up their relationship, but ended flat after episode 10. The two other side couples have more chemistry than the main.
Acting wise, Bright needs to attend more acting workshop. Some scenes look like he didn't like to do the project at all. Sounds like a recipe for Christmas Party (hamon).
It should've ended on Episode 10 on a high note or extend boyfriend moments, not create unnecessary drama. Nevertheless this is a story writing problem and can't blame the actors for it.
It's more of a straight bromance series in the end than a BL. Thanks to the good looking main leads that make the series so popular.
