The twist of scene is very unpredictable, and if you not watch all the series, you will never feel the feeling that I have....It start stuck my heart, and when I know this series has been ended, my heart feel in pain, and asking why every story have end....so please to the creator of this series, would you create many seasons until Tine and Sarawat graduated...I feel right now a wanna be kind of feeling of something unforgettable...
I will recommend it to those who want a inspirational things
The story follows a college freshman named Tine (Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn) who finds himself being followed by a relentless gay suitor. In a ploy to shake him off without directly having to break his heart, Tine's group of friends suggest that he fake-date Sarawat (Bright Vachirawit Chiva-aree), their university's enigmatic and reserved, resident heartthrob. Though both apprehensive about the plan at first, Tine and Wat's reluctant fake relationship eventually turns into something more.
Even in the year 2020, romantic comedy storylines involving queer leads are a rarity, which is what makes 2gether a breath of fresh air. Amid the admittedly limited number of available LGBT media, a staggering amount of films and TV shows seem to only know how to depict the struggles of the community, most of which end in separation, and often even death.
2gether, on the other hand, adapts none of that. It’s a lighthearted, feel-good romantic comedy laced with mounds of kilig scenes enough to have you cheezing before your laptop screen like an idiot for hours. The best part? It takes a tired heteronormative narrative and serves it to the Asian queer community on a silver platter. Fake dating? Check! Enemies to lovers? Absolutely! Incredibly cheesy one-liners? They definitely hit different when you can finally relate to the images onscreen.
Sure it’s not perfect. There’s a lot of cringe-worthy scenes, problematic lines, and the acting may be questionable at times, but at the end of the day it’s a series that positively depicts the nuances of a very real love story between two people of the same gender. And for queer consumers in dire need of a frothy pick-me-up that they can identify with, 2gether definitely delivers.
Let’s call it what it is. 2gether is a fantasy. A gay-utopia if you would, where no one’s ever vilified for loving who they love. No matter how progressive the world has gotten, it's still not usual for a group of seemingly straight college boys to casually throw around the idea of fake-dating someone of the same gender, just to get out of a predicament. Nor would a completely heterosexual person agree to it without batting an eye or worrying about what others might say or think of them.
That said, no matter how unrealistic, what it presents then is a possibility. It proves that, although we’re nowhere near it, an open and accepting society such as 2gether’s version of Thailand, can and should definitely exist.
