Everything has a good side and bad side
Good pointsActually, I love 2gether. Every time I finish watching, I always say "This is the best episode". At first, I thought 2gether was a simple and fresh series. Not too light but also not too heavy. Everything feels right and perfect. I think this is what makes people like this series. Until episode 10, I couldn't choose which episode was the best, because every episodes was great in my opinion. This series makes me always hope every day to be Friday. In fact, I can rewatch each episodes 2-5 times. Until episode 10, I dare say that I prefer the series version over the novel version. I feel the storyline and also the character's personality are better in the series. Not only the storyline is good, but also the acting abilities of the actors are extraordinary. There was a strong chemistry between Tine and sarawat even from the beginning they met. The other characters also play well in this series. My favorite character is Green, thanks to him Sarawat and Tine can meet. 2gether not only make me like Tine and Sarawat, but also with other characters.
Bad points
The first 10 episodes were too good so I had high expectations for the ending. In the end, I was disappointed. The thing that disappointed me the most was Pam's character. Actually, Pam's character in the novel is only an old friend of Sarawat who wants to just meet Sarawat, but the character is changed in the series. I know this change to add drama. But, as I said at the beginning of the appeal of this series is a simple story. Problem like third person in this series is exaggerated. 2gether's main appeal was lost because of that. Chemistry between Sarawat and Tine is also seems lost, instead lovers they seem like roommates or brothers. I am disappointed with the ending of 2gether, because I feel this series has the potential to be better than that.

Their relationship development can be a little dragging after having spent so long with the back and forth between "liking" or "disliking" especially when Tine's character is unaware of his own feelings. Sarawat's feelings might not be "out there" at the beginning but we all can tell he likes Tine from the getgo. Who responds to a confrontation with "If you keep looking at me like this, I will kiss you until you drop," ? Someone who has a crush, obviously.
The editing in this series becomes noticeably more choppy as each episode continues. I don't know if Champ, the director, or P'Aof, the producer, is trying too hard to get 2 novels into 13 episodes and this was his best, or if he's truly unaware how choppy it looks. The choppy editing does make certain moods/feels feel forced or dissipate too quickly. Which then does ruin the overall experience of each scene. The editing definitely needs work.
I have no interest in the side couples. Literally 0%. I just don't care enough to be invested in how their relationship will develop. Sure I will watch it so I know what's up but do I really care if they don't get together or if they do? Not really.
Overall, the story is pretty good. It's super cute, specifically Tine. I could use less of the poorly edited scenes but it's cute, nonetheless. Reminds me of a compilation/cut scenes/shots of two people's relationship rather than a well executed development. Ya get me?
Acting/Cast: I think the cast is perfect. Win is perfect for Tine. He's so cute and energetic, the epitome of how Tine is in the series. Is he even acting or is he just being his usual Win in the series? lol. Bright is also perfect for Sarawat. His initial demeanor is very similar, The no smiling, a little awkward/cold, but sweet once you get close type. Their acting is good for the amount of energy in the series, in my opinion. Win's acting is definitely very good for a first timer, but in comparison to actors who have been in the career for a while (I keep thinking of Gun Atthaphan) his acting is pretty average. It's not the worst but it's also not the best, like you do notice the subtle "I am new, I am uncomfortable" feel. The other reason why his acting might have been good in this series is because he isn't exactly acting like a different person to his normal self. Tine is Win, and Win is Tine. That, imo, is easier to act out than if Win were to attempt to act like Sarawat (which we have seen from interviews, is not as good as when Bright does it). He has plenty of room improve though and I have high hopes for Win's future. Bright's acting, when not considering the series, is average. Maybe it's the bland character that's making his acting bland but Bright's acting for Sarawat is bland. He's stuck with one portrayal of Wat and it's noticeably average as the series continues. I find Bright's angry expression hard to take seriously, that's just my thing. He does this thing where he contorts his face and one of his eyes is smaller than his other eye.
Overall, both Win and Bright did good for the series but if just critiquing their acting alone, then there's room to improve for both actors.
Music: This series is basically a Scrub'b album, of course the music is going to be good. The opening song is nice and Bright's Kun Gu is very catchy as well.
Rewatch Value: 8/10. The series itself is entertaining but overall, I wouldn't rewatch this too many times.
Overall: 8/10.

It's a must watch
My first thai BL series ever.This series will always have a special place in my heart. This saved me during COVID-19 pandemic.
2gether The Series has a very light story. It was based from a novel. It’s funny, cute, romantic, and musical. I’ve watched it 8 times already and planning to rewatch it again on netflix before still2gether. I may agree with some other reviews about the last 2 episodes, which are really heartbreaking episodes and feels like they are rushing the stroy towards the end, but I think there is still room for improvement. Thankful that there’s still2gether this august. Please give Tine and Sarawat a better sweet ending. Thanks. ?
I would highly recommend this series for first timer who wants to watch bl series.

Best 2020 BL
Contrary to every negative reviews, which were solely based on the last episode or the wrap-up (sadly, the pointed issues generating negative reviews are not big deals and very nitpicking), overall the 2gether the series is the best BL in 2020 GMMTV ever made in their history and the second best after Until We Meet Again due to the following reasons:1. Opening theme and music in the series are excellent, all of them. Rarely, any BLs ever have all many excellent soundtracks except for Until We Meet Again. TharnType, which is overly hyped because of the cuteness of the actors, not the story line, only have one good song;
2. Story line: entertaining, light and superb without any dark or negative elements, like TharnType (gang rape, homophobia, sexual assault/molestation by Tharn to Type, then even after being molested, Type and Tharn become a couple, which does not make sense in a real life romance (unnatural). The series offers a lot of scenes that make audience smile. The series also does not use sex to attract audience like Why R U. The series is clean of sexual scenes which I admire it to be fit to be watched safely. Sex is a private matter, which should not be the exploited publicly;
3. Acting: superb and natural chemistry on all actors playing the characters. Their acting moves audience feeling the characters they were playing (the series has a soul). Win and Bright might have been stiff during the beginning of playing the character, which unfortunately, was shown in the wrap-up episode due to the scenes were shot in the early stage of the production when they just started knowing each other, but “overall” the acting is superb. All negative reviews only focused on the last episode which was shot on the production early stage and did not see the overall/big pictures of the acting in the show; and
4. Casting; the best casting ever made in the Thai and global BL series. Supporting actors are class A actors,(some of them used to play main characters in other BL series), almost equal to the main actors.
Overall, GMMTV has made the best BL series in their BL history production by making 2gether the series.
For all who have not watched the 2gether the series yet, do not get discouraged by negative comments or reviews. These negative reviews do not see the overall or big picture of the series as the negativity was based on the last two or the final episodes which did not justify the entire series.

I do think ep 12 and 13 could have been better and have better script, but at the same time it gave us really good acting. I'm really excited for (still)2gether! I will treasure this series for a long time, it gave me so many good memories. I miss waiting for every Friday and the new episode.. I keep rewatching this series every week haha oops. My favorite.

2Gether released 6th ep when I'm writing this review.
CAST and ACTING:
Easily this is one of the best couple actors in BL History.
Bright: You see.. There are a lot of BL characters that act cool, quiet, cold. Surely Sarawat's character is definitely described as the coolest guy in university, he does what he wants to do, he doesn't care about the trend or having social media. He played it cool when his fans are coming all over him like it was nothing at all. But something about how BRIGHT deliver his character showcased that he is an incredible actor. I never see actors who play this kind of cool guy image with so many different expressions and feel. Usually, even when it comes to the Korean movie, you always got the same expression coming from the actor because he has to play it cool, not to be too expressive. However, I think Bright is one of the actors that I would say his acting is deep! Every detail, from the eyes, smirk, it conveys to the different feelings. For example when he actually jealous, when he actually likes it, when he falls in love when he is flustered. The image still cool, yet you can feel it inside what he feels.
WIN: As his first-ever acting debut. His acting skills are totally up there! I think having Bright as his acting counterpart surely helps, considering how good Bright is. I love expression and his interaction with Green. Altho sometimes it looks awkward when it comes to reacting to Sarawat's love confession. Butt nonetheless his acting is fun to watch, easy to watch, and definitely makes you smile through the eps.
GREEN: Special mention for GREEN he is so good at portraying his character. I want to see more on him tackling a more diversified character.
FRANK AND DRAKE: Happy to see them again together. I feel like their acting is improving, especially Drake playing a cool and older bro to Frank. It was nice seeing them again in a series. Eventho as a second couple.
STORY & DIRECTOR:
I'm not really following the novel nor the director's filmography. But this series definitely include all the iconic instrument that made us remember oh... It's 2GETHER! Same as the gear for Sotus. Example of Scrubb (I'm now in love with their songs, thanks to 2GETHER). The social media thing, and all the riddles by Sarawat's.
The story is actually simple, but I love how every detail and moment they shared together and figuring out that they love each other and conveys their feeling. I wish the story will progress to be even more meaningful for both of them.
I like all the scenes, the camera, the transition. I think everything is very smooth and how they close up Sarawat's expression and placing the background sone. It really helps the viewer to understand the scene better.
MUSIC
I love all the songs. you can tell it's definitely a love song even though you don't understand Thai, you can feel the love in the air. I love the melody and the fact that a band sings the song.
I definitely love SCRUBB - KLAI (Close) and CLICK!
I also love Bright's voice and Max Jane. All the songs are perfect!
What I don't like/ I wish to happen:
I think for Bright we can feel his feelings, but I hope the director can help us to understand better what's on Tine's mind.
But I don't really have anything to complain about. LOL.
But since we are still halfway, to make this even more great and complete. I hope there will be a meaningful conflict that touches our heart and make a huge character development for both of our characters. I hist hope that they will execute the ending well. Lol... I don't want it to be just another lovey-dovey series.
That's all! Great job to all the crews and director.

Nothing Wow! about this series!
Giving this show a 10/10 is not doing justice to the director, writers and actors because this show lacked alot and if there is a season 2 theirs alot that they need to improve on. Its at least a -5/10 and not even comparing to other BL series. it just was not great for 10/10.......Im starting to wonder what the hyper about this show really is? apart from the main characters being absolutely gorgeously good looking. I find no connection or attraction between the two main character sometimes even find myself enjoying and looking forward to the side stories. and when i say attraction i don't mean kissing but just the chemistry seem to be lacking between Sarawat and Tine its more like a friendship kinda thing. Tine had more character when Green was hitting on him i found him more interesting them.

It's amazing
Before watching it I was really skeptical, since there were alot of negative reviews on here, bu after giving it a watch I can safely say it is going into my number 1 spot, and now I am rewatching it for the fourth time. Now as much as the ending was rushed, the tension and chemistry between the main couple was really amazing honestly, and the acting of Sarawats (main lover) character was extroardinary, tho I was dissapointed in the fact that there were alot of misunderstandings between the main couple, and worse, second hand embarassments, I loved the story, I love the idea of fake dating until they fall in love instead one of them was already in love and chasing the other, also loved the character development, the sequel "still 2gether" didn't dissapoint either. Now this is the end of my review but honestly my comfort show, and this is coming from a person quite picky with bl's 😭, I hope the review helps even tho its my first time writing💫Was this review helpful to you?
My first bl
Honestly this is my opinion but since this was my first bl I’ve ever seen im a bit biased over it. The acting was very meh and the chemistry felt off as some parts felt very awkward. The last episode of 2gether felt so rushed??? and at the end they just side hugged…. but other then the bromance aspect it was really fun and entertaining to watch. i binged 2gether and still 2gether and never got bored watching it. I smiled so hard watching it and I’m so glad it was my first bl. Brightwin’s acting has definitely improved and I would still recommend others to watch it. But the awkwardness it’s too strong for me to watch it againWas this review helpful to you?
