!!SPOILER ALERT!!
Well, I gotta admit that I had HUGE expectations for this series, I mean... since I'm used to BL Thai series (and I love them so much) I was already aware of the possibility of "trash" or even "cringe" content, but honestly I don't really mind that: it became part of the entertainment for me!
So, let's get into what actually made me consider this series a disappointment and why I did like it at first.
PLOT
The plot is nothing too complicated and contains the classic cliché of the "fake dating", but you know what? I'm a sucker for clichés and I LOVE this concept! That's why I was looking forward to watching 2gether.
Over the episodes, the initial plot develops and you find out things that had happened in the past, to help you understand better the different characters' perspectives; well it mostly happens with Sarawat and I appreciated that we got to see his point of view.
The story itself actually made sense, if only the main couple would have behaved in a realistic way...
COUPLES
o Sarawat x Tine
Their story started off SO WELL, everyone immediately fell in love with this couple, me too tbh!!
Since the very first episodes, there were plenty of moments where the two characters showed a great chemistry through shy glances or by teasing each other. There were also many scenes with high sexual tension (for example the pocky game) which COMPLETELY disappeared in the last episodes.
See, this doesn't make sense to me at all: why did the characters seem more whipped for each other before getting together for real?
After finally becoming a thing, they didn't even kiss once. I'm not saying that you need kiss scenes to make a relationship look credible, but... why did they kiss before and not after? Not even in the last episode! Why only the high five, WHY? (omg I sound so dramatic)
I mean, if they would have compensated the missing kiss scenes with other intimate moments I wouldn't be complaining, because at least they would have given us something to add credibility to the couple. What I'm saying is that these two seemed like they had totally lost the chemistry they used to have and that's really a shame, since this ship had gained a lot of popularity from the beginning of the show. I think that's also the main reason why everyone kept supporting the series... we were all already attached to Tine and Sarawat (and to Win and Bright too), so we "pretended not to see" when everything fell apart...
o Man x Type
What can I say? I freaking love Man, he was truly adorable and I found it so cute that he kept trying to get close to Type since the very first moment, it truly was love at first sight !! Type was kind of an asshole sometimes (I didn't like the scene where he took that girl's hand to see what was written on it at all), but I'm happy their story had a happy ending.
o Mil x Phukong
WELL, if I gotta be honest, I had higher expectations for this couple. Their chemistry was good, but why did it seem like Phukong was Mil's second choice till the very last moment? I guess they could have got together a little sooner, or at least not make it look like Mil got with Phukong because he couldn't have Tine. This is just my opinion and maybe it's something that I won't notice again rewatching the show, but this was my first impression after watching it.
Also, Phukong is adorable ㅠㅠ
o Dim x Green
Honestly, this relationship looked so toxic. They didn't tell us much about it, so I don't really know what to think about it neither. I like Green btw!
CONCLUSION
So, final thoughts... did I like 2gether? Yes I did, but I didn't like how they lost the opportunity to make a really good series out of it. They had a good plot, cute couples, charming actors, and plenty of fans since the very beginning... however, the last episodes were kinda boring and it's a shame considering the great possibilities this series seemed to have.
HONORABLE MENTION
Let's talk about Fong! He is my favorite character, he's always been the dearest friend for Tine: he was teasing him when he started to get along with Sarawat, but actually supported him when he understood that Tine's infatuation was genuine. Fong has always given away the best advice and helped Tine recognizing his own feelings.
He spoke nothing but facts! A true icon.
I also loved the music!! I will certainly miss this OST, I keep whistling it all day long.
Ok, that's it, thanks for reading my review and remember it's only my opinion, I hope no one got offended by it!
