The storyline had a solid potential
Folks, this was the first thai bl I ever watched. This is going to be my first ever review on this app as well. I'm not gonna make it an essay so dw. (UM SIKE-)
1.STORYLINE (5.5☆)
The story started off so damn strong that I was disappointed with how things turned out in the last few episodes, mainly after their feud happened.
The whole fake dating into real love dynamic made me intrigued because it's not something that I have seen before. All the previous bl's I watched (mainly korean ones) did not have a deep/ interesting storyline to begin with. Oh, how I wished that 2gether had retained that same vibe in the final episodes?
They could have ended the series at ep 11 and this could have been a 9/10 for me no cap.?
The ending seemed so rushed and it was just not it. LIKE THEY ARE BOYFRIENDS AND YOU END THE STORY WITH A FUCKING HIGH FIVE????!?!
I don't want a kiss but like- Sarawat can hug his friends but gives a high five to his boyfriend he just reconciled with......?♀️
Not to mention that this series wasn't the best representation of lgbtq+ community. It was packed with all the stereotypes and honestly, I was trying to ignore them becaus I wanted 2gether to give a chance so badly.
GIRLS IN THIS STORY- ??? wtf is that #teamsarawatwives ? that whole thing was like a major plot hole in this series.
I have not read the novel and I'm glad that I didn't because there are clearly many differences b/w the book and series (got that from the comments) I would have been so overly critical and this series would have just left a bitter taste after sweet treat.
2. ACTING (7.5☆)
I'm gonna be critical here.
For the record, I love Bright and Win (literay have them as my dp?) and appreciate the way they embraced their characters in this series.
BUT some scenes felt awkward to watch ? idk what happened but some scenes gave me second hand embarassment that I had to pause and put my phone away to embrace the cringe ??
It's Win's debut and it had to be a bl BUT LEMME TELL YOU, he did an amazing job acting as Tine. I believe that it's Bright's first time acting in a bl and he definitely did Sarawat's character justice imo.
Was it the storyline? The execution? Their chemistry was OFF THE CHARTS when they were in a FAKE relationship? idk what happened to that chemistry when they got in the REAL one ?️?♀️?
The side characters, particularly Mike and Gunsmile saved this show for me. THEY BOTH ARE SUCH A PERFECT COMEDIC DUO ??
The side relationships were okay, most of them seemed to be forced. Man and Type were my favorite out of all of them?
3. MUSIC (10☆)
Music used made this series more memorable to me. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THE MUSIC. I've never heard Thai music before, but 2gether made me discover scrubb and their music is sooo good ??
Maybe my opinion is biased here, because I like the genre used in the music but idc ?
4. REWATCH VALUE (5☆)
So will I ever binge watch this whole series?!
HmMmMmmM....?
Probably no. And if I do, I'll just skip the last few episodes ?
5. OVERALL
I felt like I was really harsh in this review, but it was all honesty so I won't beat myself up for that.
Will I every suggest someone new to bl world to watch this series??
I think so, because this certainly is the most popular Thai bl series, even now (as of 2022) with many fans supporting it. Someone new to bl world, will like this light hearted story and it will open their eyes for better bls out there. (*cough* bad buddy *cough*)?
On the final note, this series will have a special place in my heart, despite all its flaws.
If you are unsure, whether to watch this series or not, don't rely much on the reviews, go ahead and try it for yourself ;)
