I finished this show a couple of days ago and waited for my warring emotions to calm down before I could write a mostly unbiased review.
So You know how when you are eating a dish that's absolutely delicious and then you reach the bottom and it's kinda burnt, not too much to actually ruin the whole dish but enough to leave a bitter aftertaste. Well 2gether the series was exactly like that for me.
The story started out strong. Tine asking Sarawat to fake date him so as to get rid of a semi-stalker guy named Green who won't take no for an answer was mostly believable (It's hard to accept that someone as good looking as Tine couldn't get an actual girlfriend but had to hire someone to pretend that ultimately failed, after which he decided to pursue the most unattainable guy on campus for help, but for the sake of the story I'll let it pass).
After playing hard to get, Sarawat gives in and the fake dating begins. This part was probably the best in the whole series. If you have seen other asian dramas you'll know that the typical unattainable guys are generally bad at dating which results in hilarious situations. Adding to these situations are the group of friends for each ML. Where Sarawat's friends are ever too eager with helping him (going as far as to get Tine drunk), Tine's friends are equally unhelpful and almost always help make the situation worse (they'll either give him bad advice or will simply bail if he is in a bind which is extremely funny btw).
Green was another character who turned from kinda irritating to sort of endearing so much so that I believe he now has his own fandom. His relationship with P'Dim wasn't explored too much and they definitely deserved more screen time.
I believe the main problem to the storyline started when the two MLs got into an actual relationship. The so called relationship development seemed to have stopped and the chemistry just faded away. The issue of familial acceptance (which is a big deal in real life) was trivialized and the problem with Sarawat's school friend/first love was shown as the 'make it or break it' type situation (which in my opinion still remains kinda unresolved).
P'Mil was another character that had a very positive development in the series but his and Phukong's relationship wasn't explored much either (their ending was more 'close friendship' and less 'hope for new relationship').
P'Type and Man was the couple that seemed to carry the Finale on their shoulders and making fans wish for their own spin-off series.
Music was a big part of the whole series therefore there's no surprise that the Ost was good.
The cast was great. All the character's were portrayed very well. The actor Win did a great job for his first series. Gun was fabulous as always. And even though Bright's character profile was kinda confusing at the end, he did a good job as well.
In conclusion this series is one of the better BLs that's definitely recommended but just watch it with lower expectations.
