Great beginning...... That's it

I must be one of the rare few who thinks it was a hot mess. The series started perfect, I enjoyed the first 2-4 episodes, they did suck me in and I couldn't wait to see what happened next. But after the 4th episode it just.... declined. The concept of this drama was a hook for me, I was so interested in how they would expose the bl industry for the awfulness that it is, and don't get me wrong they did definitely do some exposing but after a while, it just felt... flat for better worlds.

The series dragged in some places and was just.... boring in other places. The series wasn't dialogue-heavy either which of course you would think means it was action (gestures and whatnot) heavy, but it wasn't. I think if they introduced just a tad bit more dialogue it would have helped a little bit more. I truly do not think the director knew what they were undertaking and felt overwhelmed.... which sadly means it translates into the drama with how lacking it was after a while.

The ending for this drama..... Let's just say it could be a lot better. The fairytale gag in the ending was cute do not get me wrong, but I felt like that just... ruined the whole ending for me. I would rather enjoy that as a bonus scene in the ending, which would have been super cute. The ending was lackluster and needlessly portrayed. During it, I found myself just looking at my phone because I was so BORED. So... the ending was not it and was total crap.. CUTE, but crap... Lol

Now let us get into the acting. The acting was...... well... How do I say this..... good but not great? I'll be totally honest, the best acting in this series was the villain of the whole thing Aey. Bruces acting for that character was top-notch, of course, I hated the character but I cannot deny it was the most talented acting in this drama. The other actors of course are good at acting, but it just felt like the director wasn't.... directing and the actors were just trying to make the best of the situation, so of course, their acting fell through at times. There are quite of few moments where acting was lackluster and it made the scene boring or just dulling at moments. Now like I said, that's not because the actors can't act, but because it just felt like even the director didn't know what they wanted. So acting is good, but not the best.

Overall, the first half of the series is really good, the second half is boring, dull, and lackluster.

So do I recommend this BL? Yes, I do. Everyone should watch it at least once because it does highlight some very important issues in the BL industry and the drama is good for the most part. So yes, watch it! Just be warned of the dullness after a while lol.

I hate it :D

This series has been a disappointment to be completely honest with you. You can tell because they messed up 2gether and they needed to fix it. Don't get me wrong, this is a very an ok series but it lacks so much. The side character for me personally just kinda made everything a little more.... ugh? I felt like the whole thing was kinda cringy to watch. Bright and Win have chemistry, everyone can see that and I do really believe they did really good in the series. But for me it's the side character who kinda ruined it for me. I don't know what it is about them.

The kiss scene was totally random, which brings me to believe they added it last minute because of the outcry of people wanting a kiss scene in 2gether. It was a lovely scene, but very weird and random, no build up or anything and just awkward for me to watch.

The biggest thing was the lack of a story and character growth. They (Tine and Sarawat) were supposed to be in a relationship for a year, but still are so very awkward around each other. Awkward head patting and more. It was just not done well. I think the Director just wanted the series to get out as soon as possible because of the backlash.


Overall, this series was just a giant fanservice for the fetish people or whatever they are, the ones who only watch BL for the weird stuff, the kiss scenes and whatnot. Not something I would watch again, and wouldn't have watched to be honest with you for not my own curiosity.
