No offense on not finding enjoying LBC after the end because it's only on my personal taste.I don't like the story that is being forced to frame and too much fan servicing (eg. too many shirtless scene even though it's not adult scenes, too many scenes that faces of both protagonists are too close enough to kiss but they didn't... meh, I'm not saying this because I want to kiss them but I feel these scenes are not needed and too many drama when it's not necessary..etc and many more) .
Sorry for long intro. This is where my actual review start. Or calling as ' Recommendation article ' may be fit more to my review . LBC has the most of I described ones as above. This TharnType series has them too but storyline, chemistry between two main actors ( overall acting too, I won't judge them in detail because they're not oscar winner.There're some point in acting that I find myself awkward watching), director's direction make me fall onto it. But I have to say that the first 3 or may be 4 episodes make me bored and mehh.. it's too fanciful and unrealistic. I'll say in separated part.
Firstly, for the director, I found that this director is the new one. So, I'll compliment him. Everybody have their requirements. He has requirements too but he could delivered the mains necessity of the series(I hope I'm using right terms). It's the thing I found in this series and "He's coming the series". You'll know what I meant by necessity if your most favorite series are like mine and has a same opinion in LBC ( I'm not shading LBC , I'm only comparing to be conspicuous what I'm saying.I enjoy watching all BL series and of course LBC too). I think I'll follow his projects in future.
Second, the storyline, I'd say good word. I think may be better than LBC? I'll follow the work of this original story's author too.But there's something I'd like to point out as in EP 1 -5. Developing story base and charactor is a bit weak but later storyline make me forget about it. It may be I'm too obesess with BL series . I see some people dropped watching this series because of it. I'd like to push you to watch more episode and you be starting to like. As for the plot and script, I won't or can't judge as it's not my native language. I feel awkward toward some plot too but this may be because of different country and culture. I think I'll pass this part.
Third, music segment, sadly this series OST is being normal. Worth enjoy listening but I think it' s too simple.I enjoy Untill we meet again OST more. Anyway, I like this OST too. I won't judge much too 'cause of different culture again. Judging sound syetem is not my thing. I'm not professional reviewer as I only love to say things about my favourite movies and series.
Last but not least, the actors, I remark as they did their best with their competency. I'm complimenting them because I feel guilty that I severely judged them in first teaser trailer. I did not even look forward to next full trailer. Yes..to that extend. But I tried to watch when the series started to show becase watching BL series is my entertainment (obviously) ...and here they are, they did more than I though. Thumbs up for them. Clap for Mew as I kinda like him only in this Tharn Charactor. Not in What The Duck. No offense and sorry, may be WTD is not my thing. Others actors are normal. Tar's not bad except only when he made that scared little face or whatever. TAM is just..Not Ok.
As concluded , I won't try to say much, only wanna say just try this. Even though it's 18+ series full of rude swear words , there's still something in deeper, meaning and passion. Thumbs up again for the whole crew and heart reaction to the " TharnType The Series " . I planed to write review after the series end. But I wrote it now as I heard next week won't be final EP showing week. I wrote this because I believe and hope the ending won't let me down.

Sweet n Touching
First Of All,I gotta say I did'nt expect that much. I mean all part of the series such as acting, storyline, music,etc.Ohm's acting is way more improved than Make It Right The Series.He looks more mature.I might say you should(must) watch it. The story is not thin-line and it's very clear that they put so much effort on this series. The acting is so touching and as for Mes nd Thun it'll keep you smiling and heart bouncing all the time you see them.They're perfectly matched. That's all. I just want to recommend that you definitely should watch. I'll rewatch the whole series again after it end.After the end ,the only one I want to blame is the system of scheduling shows in Thailand.One episode per week may lead us to a little cold-blooded over time.Especially final episodes of this series.I must admit I felt a little boring when I started whatching it although I really really like this show(I honestly like that much).But who knows,may be I only want Thun-Mes moment and not about how Mes died. And there's also a little plot hole such,Thun see only P'Mes.Well.I think I did know as He said he saw ghosts(Not A Ghost).And he never mention that He saw A'Ngoon And other P (sry that I don't remember the name).And so so. But this can be overwhelmed by the feeling that The Whole Series delivered to me especially Thun-Mes relationship , OSTs and excellent cinematography. What could I say? Honestly, all the BL series I've ever watched are so forced in a frame. Every Seme is Straight at first(sometime both seme and uke are straight that is really not feel like reality and okay) and then he fell for his one and only man (that is uke) and he'd say " My feelings are only to you Not to other guy" and so so. They dated so much girl in the past that they never give a damn about anything and broke up over and over again but when the time comes,they'll love that Uke soo muchh , fight agaisnt everyone and lived happily ever after. If you're getting bored of that, then This Drama will come along. ( Thun came out after kissing a girl and he knew that he doesn't like girl as a conseqences.Not from having feeling towards the one and only guy) .You should really try this and I'll guaranty that you'll fell for it at some point. I recommend watching this when you're alone and at night with cozy surrounding especially when raining.Of course I recommand dim light and earphones too.It'll make you feel something..Warming May be..! And then It'll take you to the some exact feeling..........
But I'd not recommend to the ones who are more like to watch The mystery parts.It's not a thriller series or detective series. Means that that parts are somehow weak plot.You'll know who is who and what is what by watching only 6episodes.
But a greatly well done BL overall.

An Expected Disappointment that I never wished.
I want to say something first personally.My memories save the first 10 episodes only as the best vibes and assumed the last 3 episodes are nothing to do with the 2gether the series.
I think that almost all of us feel SOTUS vibes from earlier episodes of 2gether series. This is one of the reason what I like about 2gether Story.
It has the charm , heart warming feeling and the vibes that will stay deep inside after knowing the whole story. We loved the characters and the preciousness of storylines.
What this re-scriptwriting series lack is the essential elements from original storyline and the refreshness of their (production team) stereotyped mind. I think that they though making such a fun ,cute and meaningful storyline into melodrama on last minutes can hit among series fans and the connection between series and fans could become stronger ?
I think the answer "No " will come out alltogether.
I can accept that 2gether team is making the series to feel something different from what we've seen as spoilers on everywhere. The biggest mistakes is the non-consistency of main chracters.
The worst things is changing PAM charactes into female vallain to hit melodrama at the last minutes. I think PAM characters in the series is very cheap, the most hateable one that I've ever seen on BL series and also making non sense at all.
And again,the scriptwriter and producing team chose and used SARAWAT from the novel and they never value that character. They're destroying it after every episode and then when the Ep 12 is arrived, the SARAWAT we all know is not there anymore. And Tine too. Tine hugging Mil who is trying to flirt with him and also knowing that , he hugged back . That things were totally ununderstandable.
It had the potential to become top tier BL series among all after earlier episode but still they choose their way not to become like that by disrespecting the depth of characters and original story.
Overall , I can't help but I gotta say this is the flop series. It's not that the actors have no chemistry and also series was not overrated at all in the beginning. The thing is actors had more chemistry on the beginning ( fake dating) and after each episodes that chemistry is slowly fading away till it hits final episodes. The chemistry on Final episode is more like brother rather than couple and every happpenings on episode 11 (especially on) 12 are not the things that the one who deeply in love with one another would never do. SARAWAT would never turn his back on Tine, let Tine running away crying and give priority to stay still and clear things out with PAM first on that place, let Tine to take way by other guy who also is flirting tine , not checking to hospital when Tine was seriously ill and so many other mess on. He's not that kind of guy and Tine is not the kind of hugging back eveyone. PAM also is not the destroyer and cheap type of girl.
The earlier episode made me to find original story desperately because I couldn't bare to wait coming episodes every friday and when I found and read whole story I've became official diehard fan of 2gether the story. The first 3 episode made me that kind of person. Meaning that the series had so much potential and I gave too much hope on this.
But let's say what if I put aside that hope , I think this series is still fun and enjoyable one but on basic level. SARAWAT-TINE or BRIGHT-WIN make every BL fan's friday brighter and more fun then usual. They stayed in our heart. It's obvious that Director P'Champ tried his best and did all with goodwill so that I don't wanna put blames on him. Because everybody will need something to fix forever as no one can be perfect.Win also tried his best and the result came out excellently even though his is the newest one in there. Bright also have deep and clear minded and is work-hard actors. The rest of the acting crew took full responsibility on thier own character. Without the Original stroyline, Actors and Directors , this series could become a total mess on the highest level with that kind of narrow-mined producing team and lazy ,stereotyping and disrespecting scriptwriting.
Other thing that I wanna point out one more time is
"Tine " Titled song should be cute,romatic love song (at least I assumed like that) but it came out as confusing sad song. Don't get me wrong because I loved that song right away after they premiered. I'm just pointing out this song is completely not suitable to become "Tine" song making me think that this also is one of the biggest mistakes.
Beside all of the things I mentioned above, The series is still enjoyable and scrubb's songs are way beyond superb. The music , directing (ep1-10) and acting are superb ( for me) or at least it's more than worth watching. I gave 9.5 score after 5 episode and now I reduced it down to 8.0 very sadly. I didn't expect that and still I don't want to do that kind of lowering rating. This is the very first time that I reduced my rating .This may be the result of hoping too much on something.

When it comes to storyline, I feel like a little rushing. Because first 2 moons gave a great detail about the whole series. This storyline will make you a bit coufused if you didn't watch or know any of 2Moons facts or original storyline. But again, I like that I could get all of 3 couples romances. The first 2 moons the series storyline will end with just 4 episodes in this version and we can get a lot more about 2 moons. I hope that won't make you feel like spoiler.
Acting? I'm impressed with the youngest one " Ming " (Joong) .He has chrisma and a great potential ahead. All of the actors are great too. The couple I like the most in this version is definitely " Ming Kit" (though I was PhaYo fan before). But... I feel like this PhaYo version is a little over acting. I'm ok with Wayo (Earth) although sometime he's a bit awkward in shy moments , but Pha is not OK. It may be only for me. I think Pha characters is cursed or may be Pha is too difficult to be portrayed. Anyway, this Pha version is a lot more greater in acting than the first one. But not exactly in complexion.
Ahhh... Music? All I know is I do not like the auto tune parts very much. Still the good song though.I don't have much to say to this.
As concluded,I'll have to say to all the negative guys out there that you guys need to try this. It's definitely worth the wait and watch. Although I believed (like completely) that this version of 2moons will fail me and I can't replace the first casts with anyone.... but now It doesn't. A great improvement over all than the first one. May be better than the first one. I like PhaYo in first version but in this one, I like MingKit the most. My smile automatically came out whenever I see them.I let you know that first version of Kit totally failed me(don't swear at me ,sry xD) and I'm intrested in PhaYo only before. But now in this version, I'm intrested in the whole series that I can't wait new episode every week. Sorry for my boring and non professional review.I just wanted to recommend to you all. I'm assure that you won't be disappointed.
Love To 2 Moons and Mooners
