This is my 1st BL Drama, and 1st Thai Drama, but I’ve been reading BL for 8 years.
I can’t recall what lead me to try watching BL Dramas but I’m glad I did, and I’m surprised that despite the overall average review being on the high end that the most helpful reviews have such a low score.

I loved watching this show and adored the chemistry between the leads.

It’s not a perfect show so let me get the nitpicks out first.
The most annoying thing was probably the product placement. I can’t hate it because a production needs funding somehow, but it was always an eyeroll moment for me that broke the trance that the story and characters put me in. It didn’t help that where I watched the show had the original Thai adverts in the ad breaks, so I saw the products during the show and in between. Maybe it wouldn’t have been as bad if I’d watched it on a platform without the ads. Though I hear that Thai productions in general have a lot of product placement.
The other nitpick might also be a mainstay of Thai dramas in general, but the cheesy sound effects. Some of them I understood because they made you aware of subtle reactions onscreen that would be easy to miss when reading subtitles, if they weren’t accompanied by sound effects (like winking). Sometimes they were helpful but sometimes they were too much. The show was long enough that I might’ve gotten more used to them by the end of the sequel.
I was a little off-put by the extremely cliche gay character and the way he was used in the beginning, but it got better later on. And when I try to think about an alternative characterization to put in that role I honestly can’t think of what it could be.

Alright onto the actual show:
Sarawat is easily my favorite character and the actor just nailed the expressions. After his initial introductions, his face was so emotive in scenes with Tine. The music was phenomenal. I adored the lyrics that were poetic and meaningful. The way they used music throughout both as OST and inside the story just added to the characters’ development and my enjoyment.

The story setup while cheesy and maybe a little forced is actually a favorite setup of mine, which is one of the reasons I chose this as my first BL Drama to watch. I liked how it unfolded and especially the twists and turns it took to create tension.

I truly enjoy a romance if I can feel the characters feel for each other. I can’t care about a romance if I don’t feel like one of the characters truly cares. 2gether absolutely balances that back and forth. The writing and the acting both truly deliver. More than an interesting story, I’d describe it as an emotive story. Emotions were the most important element to me and the reason I kept watching. I grew extremely attached to these characters in quite a short time.

I liked having the side couples, but the main pair shines the brightest to me, as they should.

I also enjoyed the fact that this story kind of exists outside of the real world, where there is no issue of homophobia and the characters merely treat others feelings the same regardless of gender. Gender isn’t even a topic of discussion. With the topic of gender being ever present in large percentage of BL, it’s kind of nice to have a story once in a while that’s an escape from the world, where love is love, and 2gether absolutely provides that.

2gether is an emotive journey between two guys trying to figure each other out and how music plays a role between them. It’s a gay romance that’s a refreshing escape from reality with some silliness ever present.
