Just watch the Series!!! Don't look at bad reviews!!
I usually don't write reviews as I don't know how to express my feeling but I felt it is necessary for this series... I too almost didn't see the series after reading the reviews but I felt I should give it a shot as ratings are good and trust it is a very nice series... I liked the series very much and I would have regret not watching it...the series is sweet and touching the way they depicted it was very sweet and the way the main leads' relationship progressed and good not too fast not too slow just perfect .... another thing that I loved in this series was the friendship between Sarawat and his friends Man and Boss they supported his relationship and helped him in various ways and that was too sweet...
every couple in the series had their own different story be it "Man and PType" or " Mil and Phukong" and I loved it { *spoiler alert* every couple got their happy ending}
I know everyone is saying there is no communication between them but I felt the problem shown in the series is quite relevant as not everyone is ready to share their feeling with others feeling they will make a fool out of themself and it leads to many breakups so I think it is valid and another point that I felt was it was said that series used girls just to show jealous and was not needed but I felt it was reasonable I felt between a Gay couple most fearsome thing is their bf leaving them for a girl and it is valid I felt it was not overdone. it felt like a test for their relationship which they pass at the end.
At last, I will say that don't mind the bad reviews just watch it and see if you like it or not cause if you like it you won't regret watching it and will have a very sweet feeling at the end with a big smile I can guarantee that

Worth a watch!
To start off, Tine and Sarawat had one of the best chemistry in BL I've seen so far.Like honestly, half the time I forgot they were even acting. They were too cute and adorable. So were the side couples and supporting cast. They all played their role well and it was satisfying to watch.
Tine and Sarawat had a cliche yet a good story to go with their undeniably pulling chemistry and it was all good and great... until the tenth. I can say that the entire show is worth a watch though. If you walk in with zero expectations, u will even leave with a big smile on your face like my sister did.
But unlike my sister, I had expectations and I was a little disappointed like many others with the last three to four episodes. I don't really know what happened, but everything- the acting, the chemistry, the editing, the direction, and even the script deteriorated on a large scale.
When I first started watching 2gether, the eighth episode had just aired and the ratings for the show on MDL was a whopping 9.1. As a fan, it was sad to see the sudden decline in ratings as weeks went by. (I even took a month break after watching ep 11 because I was sad with how it went downhill)
But, even after the disappointment, I can tell you this- the first ten episodes of the show are totally worth the last three that will shorten the length of your grin by a tiny bit. You will laugh, smile, squeal, and turn into a complete fangirl and after ignoring how the show ended, I can say (for myself) that 2gether is a cliche made right. (And I'm saying this only by taking the first 10 episodes into consideration). I will still go around recommending this show to anyone who wants to start off with watching BL or for people who want to watch something light-hearted
I initially gave this show a 9.5/10 (when I first started binge-watching it), but despite the dissatisfactory ending, because I had so much fun watching 2gether, I will still give it an 8.5/10.

Motion sickness and laughter
Just to get it off my chest...IN THE FIRST FEW EPISODES, IT HAS ONE OF THE MOST ATROCIOUS CAMERA WORK!!!! THEY KEPT CHANGING ANGLES EVERY 2 SECONDS, THAT I 99% LOOKED ONLY AT THE CAPTIONS JUST TO BEAR WITH IT!I would've dropped the series if it did not have one of my favorite actors, Mike!! And staying was almost worth it because I love a story that comes full circle. I also don't mind the endless product placement because it doesnt get in the way of the story or it adds something to it. But one of them was too much and it was Scrubbs. I was leaning more towards resentment by the end.

Okay..This drama is between my first BL seies. This was my 3rd BL ever (I guess) I am so happy to I was able to watch it.I love everything about in this series. I love the cast, the script, the scenes and also those epic moments.
For example when Sarawat use dirty words and others {you know what I mean (; }, OR when Green sreaming "TINEEEEEEE" (55555) or when - they have THAT KHM...scene - and when Sarawat play Scrubb song at Tine's bday in the balcony omg *-* and the other epic moments. uwu
The characters perfectly matching with the casts and the scene capture are beautiful creatures. uwu
The scene places are also pretty and stylish.
The storyline also perfect. This series have those epic things too, like love, jealousy, loyalty, and of course the support of the other. But at the same this series also can teach you that no matter what you will support and respect your love if you truly in fall in love.
And btw who hate happy ending (; am I right? Plus point of that
I swear to god every time when the cute scenes are came..my heart just easily melted T.T This series is just like an art.
And at the last thing is what I want to say I just want to say thank you for the directors and to the cast and to the stuff, thank you for working hard <3

A perfect Romantic Comedy
This is my first review here. That means this series made me do something that I usually don't. Story wise it is very basic. Pretend relationship into real relationship is an overused drama trope.When I started watching this series, I was quite confused by Sarawat's expression to the point I thought he was such a bad actor. But the big reveal in the episode 11 made everything so clear. So don't drop it if you are getting confused. I can't count how many times I rewatched the previous episodes and Sarawat's expressions made so much sense to me. Tine is damn cute.
I loved the fluff and the lovey dovey moments. This is definitely going to be one of my favourite series of all time.
Those who enjoy mature content in BL may stay away from this one. This series is mostly about portraying how a crush develops into a beautiful relationship and very fluffy moments.

My Thoughts on "2gether"
I really enjoyed this series! I was pretty late to tuning in, so a few parts were spoiled, but I still found enjoyment despite that. For this being the first Asian LGBT+ show I've watched, it was pretty good!If I had to choose what my favorite thing about this show is, I'd have to say the characters. It was fun watching them change as the episodes went on, especially Tine's elder brother Type. Watching him grow was just amazing. I quickly found him becoming my favorite character.
My least favorite thing about the show would have to be the music. I did not enjoy having the same band pushed into my face over and over as the show progressed. Like, I get that Tine and Sarawat liked that band but come on! Variety is the spice of life boys!
Anyways, I can say that this show has allowed me to become more involved in Thai shows and I'm thankful for that. Now I have even more shows to binge over the course of this pandemic ~

You never forget it
Okay, so I've read a few reviews and in general there seems to be consensus that this show started of really strong and then sort of faded away as the episodes progressed. But this is/was the first BL I ever watched and it got me totally hooked, the characters are silly and relatively likable. I found the conflicts in the serious to be somewhat unreasonable but since watching more series I have noted that that is a relatively normal thing, suppose it is just my western viewpoint of it. There were some small plot holes and continuity errors, but still is and always will be my favourite BL series.Was this review helpful to you?

as you can see i didn’t give less than 8 stars, because there is nothing wrong with the story, the cast, the music and rewatch value, but something that really annoys me is that the last episode was filmed in the beginning like why would you do that? A lot of people complained because of the lack of chemistry and I think the producer should’ve known that since the beginning. I’m literally so sad, because this show had so much potential and there was no such thing as rape or something in it. I really wanted Sarawat and Tine to be together and was happy for them, but when people say that their chemistry was better before that, I agree. Also in the novel Pam was so nice and cute.. why would you change her whole personality? It’s the little things that annoy me.. when Tine collapsed, Sarawat was the one who drove him to the hospital, it wasn’t Mil. I’m not even disappointed that there was no kiss, because i don’t really care, but a bro high five??? Also I think the show wouldn’t got as much love as now when there would be a different cast.. There are so many people who only watched 2gether, because of the visuals of Bright and Win.One thing which also was really disappointing is the storyline of Mil and Phukong. When I heard that Drake and Frank are gonna be in this series as a couple I screamed soo much, but their ending was so disappointing and rushed.
Personally I would have loved to see a little bit more of Tine and Sarawat’s friends, especially Fong. He was the best friend Tine could ask for and he didn’t got any appreciation.
I love all the actors and actresses, but the production was not good towards the end.
I’ve always waited for the next episode with joy and I follow Bright and Win since August 2019, but the last episodes were such a disappointment..
Also I always rewatched the new episodes over and over again, but the latest episodes I didn’t even dare to do that, because I was just so sad.

I understand why people might like it so much
It took me some time to finally give the show a chance. First, I didn’t like the original trailer when I watched it a while back (but it did do some things better than the actual show). Besides, I’d heard from people that don’t completely adore the series, that the last few episodes are not that great, and I agree.What 2gether does right, in my opinion, is developing the relationship early on. We don’t have a enemies to lovers story nor someone trying to take advantage of the other person. And thankfully we don’t have a crazy ex doing insane stuff to break the main couple up. A positive aspect of the series is that the main couple doesn’t follow the basic recipe of opposite roles, usually with a dash of stereotype. We don’t have a delicate/strong or shy/popular typical main couple. The actors could be flipped and the show would run exactly the same. I like Bright and Win together on screen. I don’t particularly feel romantic chemistry, but I think it works well enough for the show. The slow burn romance also contributed to the feeling that they got more comfortable with each other as scene parters, while the characters get closer.
But after the slow burn and quite unproblematic first 2/3 is the show. I feel like the last 3/4 episodes belong to a diferente show. I don’t know if the writers didn’t know how to write happy moments or if they got rushed into completing the show. The “challenges” Tine and Wat face towards the end of the show come out of left field and kinda make the show be more unoriginal. The last batch of episodes is based on a few very common plot devices that don’t fit with the earlier moments. We get a love rival, an older brother that doesn’t approve the couple and a girl from the past that has feelings for one of the main guys. It’s a miracle we didn’t get the “someone is traveling to another country” cliche too.
Type is also part of my other big problem with the show, the side characters. None of the supporting characters have motivations or plots. Even the two side couples don’t get much development. We get introduced to the possibility of Type and Man early on, but nothing happens for quite some time. Then it’s all rushed in a couple of episodes. It’s just as forced as Mil and Phukong. The show obviously knows that people like Drake and Frank together. So, I feel like, they thought that people wouldn’t mind that they barely talk to each other and are together in the end. The story around their couple is the only thing I think the trailer we did better. In the original trailer we got a fight between them and Phukong confessing his feelings. That kind of turning point is missing in the actual show. Mil is trying to get together with Tine for 99% of the show and then suddenly he realizes he’s got feelings for Phukong because we needed them together in the ends, for the fans.
For a show so based on music, I feel like the songs are not all that incredible. But I like how it looks and sound like the actors are actually singing and playing on screen, and it’s not studio like perfect.

Still it is the leads who really make this show shine, both are so good in their roles. Even with the lack of experience acting they did great. This lack of experience you could tell in scenes that required more emotion, bit that's just being nitpicky since there was not an explicit scene where you could say there was bad acting involved.
The one thing that did bother me were the last couple of episodes, it really felt like the series was 2 episodes too long. The last 3 episodes compared to earlier episodes weren't as good, and the last episode also felt a bit dissapointing. Overall this was such a fun and cute story to watch that I really would reccomend to anyone. With the popularity of the show it wouldn't surprise me that fans will wish for a second season, but the reality is most times the sequel to a really excellent series is as good. Instead it wishing a second season I would just wish to see both actors get even more acting projects in the future.

The storyline is not that complex and is easy to follow. There are a few comedic aspects as well which add to the overall charm of the series.
The main storyline and interactions between characters match the novel reasonably well. There are some bits that I was disappointed they didn't add in the series as well as the heightened involvement of Pam (I won't go into detail in case you haven't seen it) but it's still a cute series to watch.
The side characters didn't get that much screentime but there were some cute side relationships that developed quite nicely.
Despite being Win's first drama, he did very well, especially as he was playing the main character. Bright was also very good (of course).
There was not a lot of contact between the two main characters, which was probably because it was is first BL for both actors. They did, however, have good chemistry which made up for this.

I really liked it... but...
I didn't expect this review to be this long but bear with me.So... the show is good and, I loved the characters and their chemistry was really good. I loved Sarawat sassiness and I'm happy that a found a show that could actually entertain me, that's why gave it an 8.5.
However, some things didn't sit right with me.
1. Girls in the show are these crazy people that when they see a handsome boy they freak out and start taking pictures... I don't really know what happens in Asia, but I know they preach beauty all the time, and I mean, are beautiful people harassed like that?... probably it is over-exaggeration, but I didn't like it that much.
2. Shows and movies are art, and there is no need to intimate scenes between couples if it is justifiable, but they are literally teasing the viewer the whole show for just like 2 or 3 kisses... I suppose it is for people to watch season 2.
3. Why is Tine dating Sarawat, publicly admitting it, but feeling this kinda o disgust of him? I mean we're a couple, right? Reacting to Sarawat wanting to get intimate as being nasty, I feel is kinda wrong (I know having sex is called "doing the nasty", but this expression is usually used in jokes). If you don't want to do the "nasty" why are you dating him? intimacy is part of the relation. Even though viewers are probably either girls or gays, I don't feel it is right.
4. This is something that I saw not only in this show but, why can I hear the microphones?! I'm literally Gia Gunn: "there is no budget this time around?". Ahahaha
And finally, why I always get offended by the characters wanting to lighten their skin? In the show, we are bombarded with ads for skincare, and I have nothing against it. But the characters are literally taking glutathione, claiming it provides beautiful skin (I watched a dermatologist video on that and it seems that glutathione can possibly improve wrinkles and whatever) but we all know that the reason people in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, and The Philipines take these pills is to lighten their skin. I have brown skin, so I'm kind of offended.
