2gether The Series (2020)

I've watched a lot of BL series and so far, this is the first time that I got hooked and felt a separation anxiety when it ended. I never felt separation anxiety from any series or movies. But this one really did it.

And despite with the disappointments from the last episode(s), I'd still give this series a 9. To be honest, if not for some of those disappointments, I would give this a 10.

Why? I'm not going to be technical here, I'm not an expert on that. But this series made me feel romantically excited with every episodes. It made all of my weekends (during covid19) less stressful.

Sure, they somehow lost that spark when they were together or showed less intimacy during the last episode, but hey, I'd be betraying all those good feels that we felt when we watched this series if I'm going to give this less than 9.

Bright and Win really did great portraying Sarawat and Tine's characters.

My Favorite episode(s)/Scene(s):
Episode 7 - It's when Tine realized his love towards Sarawat. and that line "You don't need to like me that much. Just keep your heart open for me." from Sarawat.
Episode 10 - everything in this episode about tine and sarawat
Episode 11 - That old clip from Sarawat and the backstory POV of Sarawat is sooo dammmn goood.

Scenes:
- When they watched P'Dim's band and yet they listened to Everything by Scrubb together.
- That scene when they watched SCRUBB concert together and Win sat on the fence while his hand is on Sarawat's shoulder. That felt real.
- All of the "couch" scenes *wink*
- The proposal scene "will you marry me" really got me big time
- The scene where Tine hugged Sarawat and asked about Pam. I felt that.
- That crying scene from Tine really put me to tears. He's really good.


All songs from SCRUBB are sooo daaammn goooood. I'm an instant fan. Although I don't know any thai language but whenever I listen to to their songs especially those songs in the series, I feel so good.

Just like what Sarawat said "You don't need to understand music. You just need to feel it". That's what the songs from SCRUBB really did.

I am really hoping for a special episode and of course, like everyone does, I am also hoping for a Season 2.

I'd still re-watch this from episode 1 and relive all those positive things that I felt from this series . :)

Actually I'm a newbie in this kind of genre of series I just watched 2gether because, it became a trend in the social media platforms and so I tried watching it. After watching those 4 episodes I just found myself smiling and blushing all the way. While waiting for the next episodes I tried watching some other BL series. Then I realized 2gether is not your ordinary BL series the actors have that chemistry that has the same level with KristSingto but on a different time and year.

So now let's start, for the story actually is not common why? because in my entire life I haven't watch any series or movies that contains a storyline like this. There is something special in its story that will make you go and watch for the next episode. It's like your always hungry after every episode. You are looking forward to something but then for the next episode it will give you something out of the box. BrightWin actually did a great job in portraying the role of Sarawat and Time kudos to them. The chemistry Bright and Win is actually superb and effortless no need for a lot of intimate scenes because, just bright staring at Win will make you feel like the line "Kiss until you drop". That's for the actors my two hands are not enough on racing them. The series also became more fond to watch because of the song choices, it is my first time listening to Scrubb songs and the songs are stuck in my mind I even downloaded e every songs in this series. While you listen to the song you can imagine the scene and it is exactly what the song would like to show in the series. As of now I know it takes time for me to move on in this series because it has a special place in my heart after long years I'll be rewatching it over and over again because I learned here that if you people are meant to each other no matter what happen you'll meet at the right time in the right place in the right moment. Love has no gender and boundaries. I hope everyone will find the love that they deserve and that will give them happiness.

I love BrightWin , waiting for season 2

2gether's story is pretty light-hearted, fluffy and predictable (although its not necessarily a bad thing). I genuinely like the music incorporated with the drama, especially Scrubb songs which made scenes of Sarawat and Tine very special. Despite the Cliches and predictability, I felt it was a bit refreshing to see these cliches because of the Chemistry of Sarawat and Tine. It's also nice that Tine didn't despise the fact that he's starting to like Sarawat, he evens reflects on it and even tells his friends. The way he deals with it is refreshing for a BL character. I also love the buildup that Sarawat and Tine had during Episode 11.

Some of the ways that plot got driven didn't make sense to me, an example is using Green as a way for Sarawat and Tine to meet and initiate a "Fake Dating" relationship (There are more in the following paragraphs). Because I feel like there were more grounded ways of dealing with Green, rather than fake dating, and I really like Green's character, but the way he got treated made the first few episodes a bit odd for me.

Despite this, I genuinely love the bonding of Sarawat and Tine, both Fake Dating and Real Dating Stage, and it's one of the series' highlights for me. They're interactions are very wholesome, supplemented with their love for music. This is especially highlighted with scenes that shows them singing or listening to Scrubb songs. It actually made me listen to Scrubb ヾ(≧▽≦*)o. Even if the big reveal for the reason Sarawat likes Tine is a bit cliche, I genuinely loved it and made me cheer for them even more, couple that with Scrubb songs as part of the BGM.

The cliches and predictability of the plot is alright, but it kind of fell flat during the finale, I know they are bound to make up, but the aftermath of that felt a bit disappointing. The finale felt a bit rushed and heavily relied on flashbacks, rather than further giving characters more interaction. Some characters felt underdeveloped, particularly Phukong and Mil, I felt that they had great potential as a couple but ended a bit forced in the finale. Mil was mostly seen as the guy who goes between Sarawat and Tine, which I felt could have been replaced with more development between him and Phukong. Green for me, is also a bit underdeveloped as he started to get less attention in the middle of the season. It only made him a Plot Device, which is disappointing, because Green's Character is Genuinely Likable.

The main conflict in Episode 12, was a bit off in terms of how it was resolved. Sarawat could have easily told Pam that he's dating Tine. If he really loved Tine for so long. Instead, they made up when Tine listened to the song Sarawat wrote for him in the Flash drive. They honestly could have talked it out when Sarawat went to Fong's place to get his guitar (although getting his guitar kind of felt mean on Sarawat's side), and if Sarawat set the record straight, from the beginning.

How Sarawat deals with the situation when he got caught was pretty odd, he didn't visit Tine in the Hospital, he tried to talked to him, but never tried again, only waiting by chance during the Music Contest, and never even begs Tine not to move out. Which is one of the flaws that stood out during the season finale and episode 12. It felt like Sarawat distanced himself from Thine and doesn't try hard enough to win him back. Ironically, Pam is one the reasons they made up. If it weren't for her giving Tine the Flash drive, he wouldn't even consider, getting back with Sarawat. Which in my opinion, is a bad way of making up conflicts.

Despite the play safe finale, underdeveloped characters, unnecessary plot devices and ways of dealing with conflict, I genuinely liked the Show, especially the musical aspects of it and the chemistry of the couples in it (all of the couple interaction was genuinely wholesome o((>ω< ))o). It introduced me to a lot of new things as this is my first Thai BL and exposure to Scrubb songs. I would definitely read the novel after watching the series as I genuinely like Sarawat and Tine and I want to see more development
(and possibly fill in the disappointment I had with the Finale, (￣﹏￣；)).
But nonetheless, 2gether is a delight to watch despite of its flaws.

I’m new to BL shows and I found this show by looking up what cast members of SOTUS are doing now. Therefore I followed Gun (Prem in SOTUS, Boss in 2Gether). The show was already on episode 12 when I started but I did watch episode 13 on the day it was released.

I have very shallow reasons for loving this show as much as I do. Overall I have rated 7 for various reasons but the rewatch value is 10 because I honestly could watch Bright forever.

I liked the chemistry, the (not enough) kisses, the music (never heard of Scrubb before but I liked it) and the angst.

I had a problem with the following:

The way Green was treated - yes he was a plot device and a pain in the ass, but there was no need to be so mean to him, especially when Tine then went and stalked Sarawat and Man stalked Type. Also, trying to drug Green? How is that acceptable?

What happened to the kisses - they became an actual couple and suddenly no kissing - not even at the reconciliation scene at the end - we got a high five instead? Were the socially distancing at that point in filming due to Covid? If so, understandable, but there was other touching. Also, lack of sex once they moved into together - poor old Sarawat was still begging for a kiss on the cheek even then!

Mil and Phukong - kid, he’s just not that into you, give it a rest okay?

Females - hardly any girls in this show and then along comes Pam to put a spanner in the works and become the villain. It was a poor attempt. Also my 80 year old gran is called Pam so I found the name a bit fuddy duddy!

The whole Pam thing - these last couple of episodes were really poor. Could’ve made so much better drama with just a couple of changes like maybe Sarawat doesn’t see that Tine has seen him hugging Pam and then sees Tine leaving with Mil. Sarawat then thinks Tine has left him for Mil. In fact, I think I might have to fanfic that if someone hasn’t already...

So the highlights are Bright, Bright, Bright.... and the music. I’m also loving the fan fiction this show has generated which has way better endings than the actual show.

Still, roll on the five new episodes they just announced. I’m crossing my fingers for kissing and more scenes with Bright without his top on.

Honestly I know alot of people had high expectations for this. I'm not a picky watcher so I watch dramas based on edits that I see on YouTube, the only thing I'm cautious of is if the acting is cringey, the reason why I decided to watch it was because it wasn't cringey for me. But I really don't understand the low ratings for this because I really enjoyed it. I think they weren't satisfied with how the ending was . I personally really am thankful for noticing this series because I loved it from beginning to end. I noticed not many people liked how after ep 10 Sarawats character became careless and I truly understand that after they broke up (I dont remember what episode it was) there wasn't alot of emotions left in the last few episodes. They did end up getting back together and I think since the last episode was nearing everyone wanted a last kiss scene from them but they didn't receive it. All the characters in the drama had a happy ending so as long as they get one then my time watching this drama was worthy. If you really like jealousy scenes then I suggest this drama is the right one for you. Over all I think this drama was amazing and I hope those of you who did give this drama a low rating dont come at me because I just wanted to state my opinion on this, I understand we all have different opinions on this so I trully respect each one of your opinions :)

The last time I watched it was when the final episode came out i was very dissapointed to see that gmmtv did a different storyline towards the end the actors did a great job tough potraing their characters i hope that there will be a season two because they didn't really had much of affection and the kisses if you even call them so didn't felt real for me sorry to say but it just didn't














































































btw win actor of the century

Everything has a good side and bad side

Good points
Actually, I love 2gether. Every time I finish watching, I always say "This is the best episode". At first, I thought 2gether was a simple and fresh series. Not too light but also not too heavy. Everything feels right and perfect. I think this is what makes people like this series. Until episode 10, I couldn't choose which episode was the best, because every episodes was great in my opinion. This series makes me always hope every day to be Friday. In fact, I can rewatch each episodes 2-5 times. Until episode 10, I dare say that I prefer the series version over the novel version. I feel the storyline and also the character's personality are better in the series. Not only the storyline is good, but also the acting abilities of the actors are extraordinary. There was a strong chemistry between Tine and sarawat even from the beginning they met. The other characters also play well in this series. My favorite character is Green, thanks to him Sarawat and Tine can meet. 2gether not only make me like Tine and Sarawat, but also with other characters.

Bad points
The first 10 episodes were too good so I had high expectations for the ending. In the end, I was disappointed. The thing that disappointed me the most was Pam's character. Actually, Pam's character in the novel is only an old friend of Sarawat who wants to just meet Sarawat, but the character is changed in the series. I know this change to add drama. But, as I said at the beginning of the appeal of this series is a simple story. Problem like third person in this series is exaggerated. 2gether's main appeal was lost because of that. Chemistry between Sarawat and Tine is also seems lost, instead lovers they seem like roommates or brothers. I am disappointed with the ending of 2gether, because I feel this series has the potential to be better than that.

Story: The story itself is a cliche. I mean Love Sick already did this, only it's pretend relationship to chase away a arranged relationship. But still, the essence of a pretend relationship turnt love and then the confusion in between, all that jazz, is cliche. What the story should focus on then, is execution and making sure the details are unique, which I think 2gether has done well to differentiate from others. How Tine approached Sawarat and how Sarawat responded, is their own thing.

Their relationship development can be a little dragging after having spent so long with the back and forth between "liking" or "disliking" especially when Tine's character is unaware of his own feelings. Sarawat's feelings might not be "out there" at the beginning but we all can tell he likes Tine from the getgo. Who responds to a confrontation with "If you keep looking at me like this, I will kiss you until you drop," ? Someone who has a crush, obviously.

The editing in this series becomes noticeably more choppy as each episode continues. I don't know if Champ, the director, or P'Aof, the producer, is trying too hard to get 2 novels into 13 episodes and this was his best, or if he's truly unaware how choppy it looks. The choppy editing does make certain moods/feels feel forced or dissipate too quickly. Which then does ruin the overall experience of each scene. The editing definitely needs work.

I have no interest in the side couples. Literally 0%. I just don't care enough to be invested in how their relationship will develop. Sure I will watch it so I know what's up but do I really care if they don't get together or if they do? Not really.

Overall, the story is pretty good. It's super cute, specifically Tine. I could use less of the poorly edited scenes but it's cute, nonetheless. Reminds me of a compilation/cut scenes/shots of two people's relationship rather than a well executed development. Ya get me?

Acting/Cast: I think the cast is perfect. Win is perfect for Tine. He's so cute and energetic, the epitome of how Tine is in the series. Is he even acting or is he just being his usual Win in the series? lol. Bright is also perfect for Sarawat. His initial demeanor is very similar, The no smiling, a little awkward/cold, but sweet once you get close type. Their acting is good for the amount of energy in the series, in my opinion. Win's acting is definitely very good for a first timer, but in comparison to actors who have been in the career for a while (I keep thinking of Gun Atthaphan) his acting is pretty average. It's not the worst but it's also not the best, like you do notice the subtle "I am new, I am uncomfortable" feel. The other reason why his acting might have been good in this series is because he isn't exactly acting like a different person to his normal self. Tine is Win, and Win is Tine. That, imo, is easier to act out than if Win were to attempt to act like Sarawat (which we have seen from interviews, is not as good as when Bright does it). He has plenty of room improve though and I have high hopes for Win's future. Bright's acting, when not considering the series, is average. Maybe it's the bland character that's making his acting bland but Bright's acting for Sarawat is bland. He's stuck with one portrayal of Wat and it's noticeably average as the series continues. I find Bright's angry expression hard to take seriously, that's just my thing. He does this thing where he contorts his face and one of his eyes is smaller than his other eye.

Overall, both Win and Bright did good for the series but if just critiquing their acting alone, then there's room to improve for both actors.

Music: This series is basically a Scrub'b album, of course the music is going to be good. The opening song is nice and Bright's Kun Gu is very catchy as well.

Rewatch Value: 8/10. The series itself is entertaining but overall, I wouldn't rewatch this too many times.

Overall: 8/10.

It's a must watch

My first thai BL series ever.
This series will always have a special place in my heart. This saved me during COVID-19 pandemic.

2gether The Series has a very light story. It was based from a novel. It’s funny, cute, romantic, and musical. I’ve watched it 8 times already and planning to rewatch it again on netflix before still2gether. I may agree with some other reviews about the last 2 episodes, which are really heartbreaking episodes and feels like they are rushing the stroy towards the end, but I think there is still room for improvement. Thankful that there’s still2gether this august. Please give Tine and Sarawat a better sweet ending. Thanks. ?

I would highly recommend this series for first timer who wants to watch bl series.

Ahh... Je sais pas ou commencer cette critique... Bon j'imagine qu'une petite mise en contexte ne serait pas de trop X)..
Je ne regarde pas des BL depuis tres longtemp, les seuls que j'ai vu avant 2gether étant Why R U et TharnType.. Il y a peut etre des critique qui auront des explication avec le genres, donc je m'en excuse d'avance. Maintenant c'est partit X)

2gether me faisait vraiment de l'oeil, il avait de beau acteurs, un scénario qui semblait sympathique et je me suis naivement dit que j'allais retrouver une histoire d'amure passionée comme dans TharnType et Why R U... Mais non .. Les premiers épisode était vraiment prometteurs. J'aimais l'alchimie que dégageait les deux acteurs. et bien qu'il y avait quelques petits point illogiques (Green qui apparait que lorsque le scénario en a besoin ou meme Sarawat qui se fait frapper parce que des meufs on like ses post IG ...) j'appréciais et je passais un bon moment.

Mais la qualité a vraiment décliné... Je pense que c'est quans Tine Et Sarawat se sont mit en couple et ont eménagés ensemble (c'était d'ailleur plutot précipité '-') A partir de la il y a plusieurs problemes.
Deja dans le scénario qui n'avait plus rien a raconter, le rythme qui etait plutot long et qui me faisait parfois passer des moments beaucoup trop long.
Et en fait je pense que le Couple principal avait des problemes. Deja tout simplement parce qu'ils ne se font pas confiance. *début du SPOIL* Par exemple avec Pam ! Je veux dire ce n'est qu'un calin. Tine a juste fait des conclusions hatives alors qu'il savait tres bien que cela fait un an que Sarawat l'aime et qu'il a fait tout les concert de Scrubb pour le retrouver. Si c'est pas la preuve ultime que Sarawat est fou amoureux de Tine... (Par contre la scène ou il pleure, l'acteur a vraiment bien joué) Et ensuite, a quel moment tu vas faire confiance au premier gars venu qui t'avait déjà draguer '-' J'ai un gros probleme avec ce moment parce qu'il aurait suffit de se parler pour regler le malentendu :-: (je deteste quand les problemes sont juste un probleme de communication entre les personnages '-') *Fin du SPOIL*

Aussi, le couple principal n'avait pas l'air amoureux. Ils avaient plus d'alchimie lorsqu'ils n'étaient pas en couple... Il n'y avait non plus pas du tout de contact entre les deux, rien meme pas des calin lorqu'ils dorments ensemble ou un petit bisou le matin ;-;. Quand je me dit que je viens de Finir TharnType avec un couple avec une alchimie à couper au couteau, des magnifiques scenes ensemble ca me met mal :-:...

Les acteurs n'étaient pas à l'aise ensemble et ne degageait des vibes de couple. Aussi bon acteurs sont ils je ne ressentais pas d'amour entre les deux. Ce qui est vraiment dommage lorsque leur couple est le centre de l'intrigue...

Je vais légérement passé sur les deux autre romance. Celle de Man et Type m'a dé cue. J'aimais bien au début comment Man avait eu le coup de foudre, mais a partir du catfish pour pouvoir le voir, je n'ai plus du tout approuvé ses techinques...
Pour Mil et Phukong c'est pas top non plus... Phukong m'a fait tellement de peine ;-;... Pour moi il aurait du avoir plus de devellopement et éventuellement trouvé un autre garcons avec lequel il se serait rapproché et aurait oublier Mil ..

Bref je trouve ca plutot dommage qu'un drama qui avait si bien démmaré ne se finissent comme ca.... Je pense que certains pourrait aimé mais ce n'est pas le bl que je recommaderais le plus ;-;
