My Favorite Kdrama
Ok, so I'm not that avid of a kdrama watcher. I'll watch some shows here and there but eventually get bored and stop watching. Nothing really grasps my attention. But this drama kept me glued to the television. I was able to complete the entire series in one night with a friend. "One More Time" made us feel several emotions. The characters (in their times of wittiness) made us laugh until our guts hurt, the main characters being stupid aggravated us beyond belief, and the heartbreaking points made us sob. There were many times we just had to stop the show to wipe the tears from our eyes. It was just too emotional for us at times. However, we kept moving on. We made it our mission to finish the series and that we did. Whilst slurping on ramen we finished all eight amazing episodes. “One More Time” has gone down as my favorite drama of all-time.Was this review helpful to you?
Yikes
Let me just start off by saying this is the worst (as much as I hate using that word) drama I have ever watched. I understand that it was a web-drama, i.e making the episodes short and what not...but come on! The pacing was weird, the acting was that of a middle school play, and the plot was boring. None of the characters were likable/loveable in the slightest. Why did I finish this if I hated it from the start? Well, because I stupidly hoped it would get better. Such did not happen with this web-drama staring AOA's Chanmi and Yuna, as well as ASTRO's maknae Sanha.Was this review helpful to you?

What I Enjoyed and Did NOT Enjoy - Spoilers Included!!!
This was a great ending to a great series! Below are things that I did and did not enjoy about this show. Please note that there are spoilers!LETTER GRADE
- A :: The star rating of this is .5 higher than that of the prequel. That certainly shows which of the two I prefer!
THINGS I DID LIKE =
- Type and Man :: Still 2together went more into depth about these two characters' relationship. It was nice to see how they operate together while they are in love as opposed to as they fell in love. The shower scene in one of the first episodes cemented them as being my favorite couple. I thought both TopTap and Mike did phenomenal in that scene.
- Green :: More often than not he is used for comic relief, but that doesn't stop me from liking him!
- Tine and Sarawat :: In this series, the viewers get to see the two of them being more romantic with each other. I felt like this kind of nicely made up for where their romance fell flat in the first season. I know one can't expect much close romance from BLs, but it certainly was a step up from where it was!
THINGS I DID NOT LIKE =
- Tine and Sarawat's "Long Distance" Relationship :: Okay, this portion annoyed me greatly. The boys were only like an hour and a half away from each other and acted like it was the end of the world! I know it was their first relationship where they weren't glued to the other's side, but come on. And Dim being Dim certainly did not help the situation. The dramatics of this made my evaluation of the storyline segment of the rating .5 lower than the previous season.
- The Background Music/Sounds :: The staff went overboard with this lol.
- Phukong and Mil's Relationship :: In the first season I did not care for their relationship (or lack thereof). I hoped the second season would change that, but it did not. Their romance just felt forced. Like, just because Sarawat was in a relationship Phukong HAD to be in one. Yeah, did not care for it at all. In my eyes it was just un-needed. The boys are great actors by themselves though!

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 ~
