Eh.... More like a Bromance/roommates?

So... It's a drama.... Not particularly impressive nor atrocious. Honestly... it's plain and has very little redemption, arguably the only reason why I moderately like it is due to Mike and Gunsmile's roles as the comedy relief characters. This drama had potential but a lot of it was wasted, perhaps due to the boring, risk-lacking directorship.

Story:▷▶ It was... Okay. I enjoyed how sweet it set out to be and it does follow one of my personal favourite tropes but unfortunately it was executed quite poorly. I struggled to find a reason why Tine started to like Sarawat or even why Sarawat liked Tine apart from a poorly added in "love at first sight" reveal during a flashback. A lot of the story felt undeveloped and flat in contrast to the performance that the actors brought to the screen. This entire story felt more like an awkward wannabe bromance, it's like the writers forgot that is romance is actually allowed to be developed and represented in BL dramas. It felt like I was watching a bad censored-gay character drama, which got worse when they forced a relationship between Mil and Phukong. That relationship suffered to poor development on the same level that Sarawat x Tine did.

Acting/cast: ▷▶ The best part. Mike, Gunsmile, Drake, Toptap & Frank did great. I loved their characters and how they interacted with each other.
Now, for our leads.... Bright and Win are talented actors with fantastic visuals. The two had some good snippets of chemistry. Win especially did amazing during his emotional scenes.
The biggest issue, I believe, lies within the writing and directing of the drama. Bright and Win are new to the Bl scene, and a drama in the likes of Sotus is not bad. However, this drama does not come close to Sotus' greatness in the Soft BL sub-genre. Sotus genuinely had character development, and portrayed the characters' feelings perfectly... 2gether, however, expected the audience to fill in the blanks and failed the actors. The actors did phenomenal, I personally loved them and they're my favourite part!

[ I strongly recommend watching Bright and Win's new drama F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers, alongside Mike's new upcoming drama where he stars as the main lead with Krist!]

Music: ▷▶ It was okay... Didn't blow me away.

Overall:▷▶ It's barely a mediocre drama. I think it's just underdone and missed its full potential. Sarawat and Tine never felt like a real couple no matter how many times the "boob" gag happened alongside the "I'll kiss you till you drop" line was said.
