Still 2gether (2020)

The change of director for this sequel to the original 2gether The Series certainly paid off. The theme of school was more laid back, the "difficult insects" (meaning hordes) of Thai girls in school uniforms screaming about how "those boys are beautiful" disappeared, the relationships between the boys were no longer so tense, more color, comedy and overall processing.
In the relationship of the central couple, I trusted Sarawat more and more, and I was also most attracted to the handsome Tim and Dim.

But I still have these feelings:
- tension in the relations between the "loving" boys, when Tine is privately offended when he finds out that his love sleeps naked in bed, does not want to be touched in private or touch his chest
- I believe that the Thai mass production company wants to tell the audience (this does not apply to all their series) that there is a special group of young people who are played by heterosexual actors and who "like" each other, but preferably without sex and if they are a baby, then shy


Změna režiséra pro toto pokračování původní série 2gether The Series určitě prospěla. Téma škola bylo více upozaděno, zmizel "obtížný hmyz" (rozuměj houfy) thajských dívek ve školních uniformách ječících z toho, jak jsou "ti kluci krásní", vztahy mezi kluky už nebyly tak upjaté, větší barevnost, komediálnost a i celkové zpracování.
Ve vztahu ústřední dvojice jsem stále více věřil Sarawatovi a dále mě nejvíce oslovili hezouni Tim a Dim.

Stále mám ale tyto pocity:
- upjatost ve vztazích mezi "milujícími" kluky, kdy Tine je v soukromí pohoršen, když zjistí, že jeho láska spí v posteli nahá, nechce si nechat dát v soukormí ani pusinku nebo šáhnout na hruď
- domnívám se, že thajská velkovýrobna chce divákům namluvit (neplatí to pro všechny jejich seriály), že existuje zvláštní skupina mladíků, které hrají heteráčtí herci a kteří se mají "rádi", ale nejraději bez sexu a pokud pusinka, tak štítivá

Gave us the conclusion that S1 failed to give

It was mostly cute and fluffy. We got to see all of our favourite characters again. I think what I liked the most is that it gave us the conclusions I felt like we were not given at the end of the first season. While Sarawar and Tine are still the main couple, there is a lot more focus and screentime given to other couples as well, which is what helped round their stories. There was a lof of conflicts to be resolved (many that made no sense at all) in such short time, so things did seem a bit rushed at times. But with this being a special with only 5 episodes and there being so much left to be done, I kind of expected it.

The only other complaint I have is on the music - I get that Sarawat is in the music club and in a band, but I felt like there was just too much performing. There was a lot in the first season too, but I felt like it made more sense there and that it was more nicely divided throughout the season. But it felt too much for this one, probably because it was this short and it ate away the time that could be spent on resolving the conflicts in a better way.

This one was so much better...

The story on this one is, to me, a little more annoying because it was a lot about Dim and Green. All the fights they had ended up involving the whole clubs. Therefore, there were separations and unnecessary tension in Tine and Sarawat relationship. It was kind of annoying all those moments. However, their relationship was much more mature, and you could feel it throughout the five episodes. They trust each other more, they are more honest with each other, and they are grateful to each other. I loved seeing this side of them. It was still kind of awkward to express their feelings, but when they did, magic happened. Their stares, sweet gestures, and Tine was so soft and cute, pouting and wanting to be with Sarawat all the time, definitely a huge change from before.

To me, you can clearly see the difference between this "second season"and the one before.
I still did not see or feel that they were disgusted with each other, as I read in so many comments. The connection was there, and I don't know if I was the only one that felt their love. Anyway, I really enjoyed the series and I think they deserve to work together again as a couple because their chemistry is very good and genuine. 

In conclusion, apart from the silly fights between Dim and Green dragging everyone else in there, wasting precious time, the serie was light and cute and their gestures, and romance even cuter. Hopefully, we will see them together as a couple soon enough!
Thank you for taking the time to read all this! <3 <3

Okay, second season... Or actually fan service 5 special episodes... We start with the main couple moving to a new place. And their cute & funny domestic moments in there. Funny! See, first season, I didn't like it and I didn't get it UNTIL the couple (which formed out of nothing, in my opinion) moved in together and we watched their cute & funny domestic moments:) While it's said in the voiceover that the sweetness was replaced by what domestic life brings, it's actually the opposite. It's more sweet watching this than watching some kind of constructed "fake-dating" and all the other constructed events that kept happening at random and for no credible reason, which formed the whole first season. Now I believe the two guys are "2gether" because they simply are, and I never needed to wach 10+ episodes about various idiotic ways of how they got there. Watching the domestic life of the second couple is even funnier, as there is one of the guys who's been always a bit strict with the other:) And even Frank & Drake got slightly better haircuts:) Music club got renamed from 'Musical Club' to correctly 'Music Club' so everything seems alright now:) My only worry would be that even for 5 episodes, we'd revert back to some stupid side character related "drama", but according to the synopsis, that shouldn't happen, either. Obviously producers knew well the viewers were not interested in anything besides their favorite couples, so this should be packed with all the stuff that went downhill or went missing in s01.

It is very likeable how all the '2gether' shortcomings were recognized and addressed. To admit your weak suits and just do your best and be cute about it is admirable so I'm sure whatever reservations, this time the audience forgiven it.

There are still Scrubb songs playing and that IS a good band. This series was always lucky to have it. Though it looks slightly ridiculous how the main couple's bedroom is so obviously decorated with the band's posters:)

I still don't get the "boobs touching" humour:)

This was 5 episodes only, still it felt LONG to me as I never really cared much for this BL. Seriously, it was like it had 10 endings, lol... Recommended for the '2gether' hardcore-fans only.

I thought it would be a brave things come but it ends with adorable+comedy scenes!

Sure! It's really cool!! Comedy, romance, friendship and overall great!!!! For the cast play roles good! I'm not just focus on Sarawat & Tine but also for Man-Type, Phukong-Mil, and the messy here Dim-Green hahaha it's made my day! They fight for each other so childish >o<

Its really wrap up lack on season one. I loved how Sarawat and Tine give up for the common good. I enjoyed all of roles bright up with their relationship. Sarawat love Tine so much and does Tine. They miss each other. I'm jealous with them actually :')

Also for the scene more focus on person relationship, not much playing instrument again or a scene that doesn't feel necessary. Detailed on feeling, memories, act and performance in every scene.

FINALLY.

Short, cute and the perfect sequel to 2gether. It's just another season about how much tine and wat are meant to be: the trust, the effort, the love they put in their relationship is just overwhelming.
It's like watching a couple living their love at its fullest and it couldn't get any better.

As for 2gether, this drama is so realistic. I could totally feel Tine's pain during the distance the couple had to experience and honestly I didn't find it disturbing at all. It's like it is: when you love someone, when you have always someone by your side, you just feel the pain of separation. And it's the most romantic thing ever.

Lack of ....

Okay this drama was only 5 episodes long, but I honestly thought it would have a bit better, the first one, although it did answer a few questions, or hanging point that was left in the first drama, it still lacked a whole lot ...

Lack of chemistry between the leads ...
Lack of a story line literally ...
Lack of intimacy between Wat/Tine (accept for the last episode) where there finally kissed each other!!
Lack of relationship between the couples.

For me the whole patting on the head to show love was just really putting off, it felt or came across a parent praising the child, also what really got me annoyed was after being from each other for two weeks, and you see them really crying and missing each other, when the two was up and they finally meet, there was love or emotion seen between them, throwing a juice bottle from across a street after two week is not something a couple deeply in love would do!!!

The music was fair, but a little over done, it was like i watching a musical.

Ok ok ok ok, I get i might seem like a complete hypocrite when I say this but I hated the kiss in the end.
But I have my reasons. All throughout the first and this season I have been waiting for a real kiss scene and not come on the cheek or almost kiss. But why add at in at the end with no context and not special feeling behind it, it like they just added that scene on to be like: see they did kiss once. Like we got a hinted shower scene, and so many other chances that they could have showed us they love for each other, but no that kiss just had no impact, or emotions or feelings.

Overall: Both of these were kind of OK but could have been great.

It's every queer person's dream love story....

It's official dat i have fallen hard for Thailand's BL drama titled 2gether...which have my most favs -- METAWIN & BRIGHT ....(heart eyes).. NOT 2 MENTION DAT DIS WAS MY 1st Bl series,,,

Unbeknownst 2 Tine, Sarawat, our chic and handsome lead had spotted Tine at a Scrubb concert on campus and had fallen in love at first sight. The push and pull between Tine and Sarawat is fun and endearing while the antics of Sarawat’s friends as well as that of Tine also bring about many humorous moments.

This had a simple and inoffensive story line which is refreshing and a major draw to both BL and non-BL fans alike who are somewhat wearied of the heavier subject matter that is prevalent in the boys-love sub-genre. Nevertheless, despite relatively minor hiccups the show provides a pleasant and family friendly viewing experience and is well positioned to be a great and palatable introduction to the Thai BL industry.

P.S I love SCRUBB music. https://youtu.be/X0yfEf1M3Zs

BL sejuta umat, tapi season 2

Tidak berbeda jauh dari series pertamanya, 2 gether the series. Series ini menceritakan kisah Tine dan Sarawat ketika mereka benar-benar sudah menjalin hubungan yang lebih serius, mungkin menurut saya chemistry yang menggebu-gebu sudah mulai pudar di kalangan penonton karena perasaan tersebut sudah terkikis sebagian pada series pertamanya. Selain menceritakan kisah Sarawat dan Tine, ada beberapa couple lain yang saya tidak perlu mengatakan siapa-siapanya karena pasti orang yang melihat review saya sudah tau mengenai season pertama dari series ini. Dalam series ini muncul beberapa permasalahan yang mungkin sangat related untuk orang-orang yang sedang menjalankan relasi seperti pada umumnya, series ini cukup menghibur dan cocok untuk mengisi waktu luang. Tidak ada yang terlalu spesial untuk series ini menurutku tapi overall bagi penggemar 2 gether the series, tidak ada salahnya atau bahkan memang sangat tertarik menonton series yang satu ini. Untuk review 2 gether the series season 1, kalian bisa check di link review saya ya.

Short, but worth it.

This is short with only 5 Eps, but so wroth the watch (more so if you have already watched 2gether) I am so glad I watched this one... they really did better with how they made Tine and Wat act more like a couple!! Yeah! Though more not so much, but there were some on there.

To bad the two parts that could have been good *kissing scenes* didn't last long, for one reason or another...

I love the song at the end the one Tine sings to Wat, it was so sweet and I thought kind of funny cos Tine wrote a better song then Wat did for him. lol Though that's my thoughts anyway...

We got the "kiss till you drop" scene

I just did a review for 2gether: The Series, now I am going to do Still 2gether: The Series which I watched immediately after 2gether.

Still 2gether: The Series is all that I want. Scenes from the previous 2gether were explained, couples got together, we got kiss scenes, we got Wat and Tine sprinkling sugar by the bucket on our romance deprived lives, we got improvement in plot. They really listened to the fans.

If the cast was amazing before, they got even better. It's so clear how much more comfortable each are in playing their characters especially Bright and Win. Their chemistry has gotten even stronger than before. Stampeding herds of bison has now replaced butterflies whenever I watch these two interact. The only thing that bothered me character wise was how annoying and controlling P'Dim got in the entire series. The amount of unnecessary drama that he and Green stirred up gave me a migraine. It also made me think...why is Green still with P'Dim? Their relationship is downright toxic. I had to say it.

The story was quite entertaining, definitely an improvement from the previous season. These 5 episodes has a rather simple storyline was even then I thoroughly enjoyed watching it. I did think that two weeks apart, only a 30 or so minute ride away is gave us a rather dramatic two episodes of them missing each other but at least we can see how much they long for each other.

Scenes between Sarawat and Tine definitely got sweeter what with the cheesy lines (I still love the recurring moments that come up in these episodes) and the chaste cheek kisses that had bison stampeding in my stomach. I especially loved episode 4 which was full of fluff and felt like a huge high of relief for everyone, especially Sarawat and Tine. Their interaction from across the street had me squealing. We can also see that their sweetness level raised after two weeks away from one another. The indirect kiss with the bottle is what my Brightwin heart lives for. However, Sarawat, at least kiss the spot Tine kissed. I also have to say, nice throw, Win. If I had been the one throwing that bottle, it would have either landed 3 kilometers away from Wat, rolled across the street, hit a car, murdered a passerby, shoot down a bird, or whacked Sarawat in the head. The staircase scene at the end made me cry at how sweet they were. The kisses? They were improvised? Brownie points awarded!

WE FINALLY GOT THE "KISS TILL YOU DROP" SCENE. I have to admit, it blew me away. Completely. Wigs and all. I did not expect that. I was so shocked, I went totally silent. (I later screamed and startled the neighborhood dogs so much they began barking.) That kiss was a KISS. It was not innocent at all which is very unexpected of Wat and Tine but then again Wat's mind is even dirtier than anyone I know. The soundtrack wrapped everything up perfectly. I loved it.

This isn't the last we'll see of Wat and Tine since the movie isn't out yet but I cried when it ended anyway. I will miss the thrill of watching the series for the first time. Bright and Win still have F4 Thailand to work on together which I am excited for. As a person who is loyal to three ships; Jikook, Jiranee, Brightwin, it felt a bit weird to see them work together as best friends but I am still excited for F4. I especially want to see Dew Jirawat's performance as the new Huaze Lei.

Anyway, I thoroughly enjoyed watching Still 2gether. This is a bit too long for a 5 episode review I know but I applaud anyone who got to the bottom.

(I would also like to note the amount of communication we have between Tine and Wat, something lacking in most Thai dramas that I have watched. And I would also like to say that I will forever be single because there is only 1 Sarawat in this world and he belongs to Tine. *sigh*)
