2gether The Series (2020)

To encourage those who are afraid to watch this do to all the negative comments

I would actually suggest to watch this to people if you-
1. Want to relax and watch some fluffy drama
2. Want to watch some very good looking actors? (Yes more than two)

Yes I would also agree that it is overhyped. But still it's not something unexpected since the whole thing is so fluff. A lot of people actually like rom-coms (in the asian drama fandom) haha like me.
About the quality, oh gawd the editing, honestly gmmtv what happend to this. I have never seen such half-hearted editing in all the gmm production so far. Not bad per say but REALLY could be much better.

About Bright's acting, if you actually see the interviews, you will know that even he was not quite having it with the protagonist's characteristics. It's not that he can't act or has wooden expression, the thing is he wasn’t allowed to show it. He said it yeah. Though the script was improvised a lot by him, lord just imagine how much worse it would be if it wasn’t.

I would also say that bright and win actually have chemistry. Tho not the usual touchy feely one. And i actually quite like that. Like it because they don't give us the extra expectations like MewArt did. Yessss lol i said that.

I think i have addressed the major concernings. Do watch it without much expectations, you'll like it. Cause I did.

2GETHER IS FOR STRAIGHT PEOPLE

I just feel like this bl was targeted toward straight people. The story is nothing original and wasn't executed well. The acting was nothing special but I think Win did a pretty decent job considering it was his first drama. Bright on the other hand I feel like he was uncomfortable playing in a bl. I just don't feel the chemistry between them after they start dating. It is always funny to me when brightwin fans call them chemistry kings. There were too many side couples and I did not give a fuck about any of them. The only side character I liked was green. The drama was very low budget. I think if gmmtv remade this it would have been better. 2gether is very mediocre and if the actors weren't handsome it wouldn't be so popular.

Still disappointing even when I didn't have any expectations

(English is not my first language so please excuse my mistakes)

When I started this BL, I didn't have high expectations. But still, it was disappointing.

- Tine and wat had more chemistry when they were fake dating than when they became boyfriend. Everyone can agree than you don't need to portray explicit sex scene to showcase love between to person. But they are some thing that have to be "de facto" when people are in love. When moving together in a house with only one bed, and you're a couple, I highly doubt that you will just be on your side, back facing each other, with all your clothes on. Especially when you're young (they must be like 19 yo men), at that age with your partner this is NOT a realistic portray?? And even watching the star together there was no sign of romance at all ! This lack of romantic interactions (I'm not asking for hot bed scene) is so frustrating as it's repeat all along, during 13 episodes. Because of that it was so hard to see them as lovers, they looked and acted more like brothers or buddies...:/

- The story and the plot had potential, I liked the idea of fake dating, it could be fun. But it was toxic asf. Something that come back a lot in Thai BL drama is the lack of FREAKING COMMUNICATION. Every argument is almost the end of the relationship and small thing cause huge and disproportionate arguments. I'm tired of this. They never want to listen what the other has to say for their defense just because they "saw" something that can mean nothing.

- The use and portrayal of girls/young women : they are only portrayed in cliché and annoying ways : a bunch of crazy girls screaming over hot guys ; the "ex who is still in love and come back just to screw everything up, even when knowing that wat has a boyfriend but still comeback because director wanted some drama but didn't want to think to much and were lazy" ; the girl that tine like and want to date who is only use to show Wat's jealousy because it's "cute omggg look he's jealous he loves tine so much ahah XD ". The only girl I appreciated was the one playing guitar in the music band (but see I don't even remember her name (X ).
Anyway...

- side story/realtionship: not gonna lie I kinda skipped a lot of those scene cause it was just boring and not interesting. They were just here to show that "everyone is gay and end up with a boyfriend and oh that's so cool".
- Dim and Green : one word : TOXIC and ABUSIVE relationship (well that's 2 sorry XD). Not even funny or entertaining, more like cringe.
- Man and Type : what the heck is that : man's behaviour isn't cute and romantic. He's just a creepy stalker. I didn't like how they ended together, don't understand how type fell in love.
- Mil and Wat's little brother (sorry I don't remember his name X/ ) : it was weird as hell, I don't like how mil treated WLB, who seemed to be just a second choice after he FINALLY understood that Tine doesn't like him. Plus there interactions seemed off to me, it was unnatural especially the "pat pat" thing. (Spoiler season 2 ) at the end of the 1st season I thought that they ended up together but it seems like no because at the beginning of season 2 they aren't, it's just WLB who tries to seduces mil and is frustrated. I was completely lost.(end spoiler S2)

- characters didn't have any evolution, they were still the same at the end of the 13th episode, nothing new also in there archetype. Tine friends are just here to roast restaurants and get drunk til morning to the point you can't remember anything after that and give a tiny piece of advice sometimes. I just liked Fong. He was nice. But that's it.

-the sorry doesn't make sense either : one good exemple is that now tine doesn't need wat, he just quit the music club. ????

If I had to name one good thing it would be the music : one of the rare Thai BL which has a not cringe ost and music in general. Scrubs' music is very nice ! However if we could get a music BL were the instrument is NOT guitar for once... I'm getting tired of this :')

I almost forgot one thing : the choice of music for some scene. SO BAD. When Tine is crying and you put a happy and lively music on top of that??? So many moment like that, supposed to be sad but are ruined by the stupid choice of music.

(This is my first review on MDL I hope it was not too bad XD)

writing this several years after it came out

okay so i watched 2gether as it was coming out from like the 5th episode i think and if you asked 2019 sophia what she thought about it she would say its a cinematic masterpiece but ive been rewatching bits and pieces and its just not all that tbh. still a good watch and i think any bl fan should watch just for its iconic-ness but ive seen better and ive seen worse. i think the main couple has not one bit of chemistry but ive come to expect that from any gmm series i fear. it still holds a special place in my heart bc it was my first bl ever so thats why the rating is that high

Sarawat is a perfect boyfriend!

I almost skipped this drama because of the comments. I really enjoyed the series and it kept my heart fluttering and smiling. I've watched 120+ BLs and I don't think this drama deserves so much criticism.

Even though I agree that some parts were annoying such as Tine being a cry baby the whole time and acting like he doesn't understand Sarawat's feelings even when he straight up kisses him and confesses his feelings a million times. Tine REALLY LOVES to come up with random scenarios and doubt about Sarawat's feelings for him then ends up misunderstanding, doubting and breaking up with Sarawat until Sarawat or someone gives him recorded evidence that his doubt isn't real, Tine annoyed me the most in the last 3 episodes but I really enjoyed the first 10 episodes.

Also to those calling this drama a "Bromance," lmao I wish if every bromance was as hot and romantic as the main couple in this drama

Sarawat was literally the best thing in the whole drama, he's so hot and so is his character, his flirting, teasing smiles and smirks at Tine never failed to make me skip a heart beat. He was the least annoying character, actually nothing ever was annoying about him. He always loved Tine and was clear about his own feelings. Tine is so insecure as heck.

This was the first thai BL I ever watched, my introduction to this whole new word, and dare I say, it was a pretty good start. The story is simple, but it does enough to maintain you attention and keep you entertained while waiting for more plot to develop. I was also pleased with the more comedic elements, they were quite funny and they did fit the tone of the overall serie. The dynamic between Tine and Sarawat worked very well both in the fun and endearing area, and in the fluffy and cute one, and I really enjoyed their banter. However, once they do get together, a part from a couple of scenes their mechanic felt a bit stuck. I felt like the story didn't really know where to go after making them a couple. Don't even get me started on the damn high-five. God, that was brutal. I was sufficiently invested in Man and Type, the story was not incredible but their acting sold it anyway. Did not care at all for the other side couple. Just not my thing.

The acting was good! I think Winn takes the cake for the best performance, but everyone did a good job. Gunsmile facial expressions: comedy gold. Love them.

Aesthetically I would say is nothing special, the normal BL quality standard. For a serie that talks so much about music, I don't have much to say about the score. It didn't really stand out. The songs that were played as part of the plot were ok, but I don't have any desire to listen to them outside of the context of the serie.

Unfortunately, the serie doesn't have much rewatch value to me, especially because it kind of declines in quality with the progression of the episodes. The last ones are not great, and that ruins the rewatching experience for me. But it does still have a special place in my heart.

Really the one thing I'm glad about is being introduced to win as this was his debut as I love as an actor. But hey this is a review on the drama.
The story was boring with nothing happening or too many cliches. It only picked up when wat's friend came to take him so had him at odds with tine but also Mann being involved as well
I hated tine brother to another degree, he doesn't do anything morally wrong but how he went about things with others especially his brother. If you knew they were dating why hide it from them considering you're the third wheel.
This drama has shown me no contact when dating isn't for me as well as showing little to no love questioning whether it is a bl or not

Minha simples Opinião

Foi meu segundo BL eu gostei bastante da ideia a dinamita da serie , acho que alguns personagens podiam ter mais linhas , eu amo as musicas ao extremo acho que esse é o grande forte da serie , gosto muito de ter uma representação bi (tine) gostaria que tivesse representação lésbica porem sobre isso na serie esta bastante do meu agrado , adoro como a historia dos dois se devolve , minha cena favorita é aquela que sarawat lembra de quando conheceu o tine pela primeira vez em um show e se apaixonou , cena mais icónica é quando o tine chama o sarawat de salaleo akakakakka juro eu ri muito


Essa foi minha primeira resenha então não me critiquem
