Mature, Thought-Provoking, Out-of-the-Box Series with One of the Sexiest and Successful BL Pair
Before writing this review, I’ve watched numerous BL series. Together with Me is one of the best BL I’ve ever watched, and my top university-based BL (Bad Buddy is my 2nd fave university BL). Kudos to TV Thunder which produces mature, thought-provoking, out-of-the-box BLs. Together presents the challenges and dangers of gay sex/relationship. This is not shown in rose-colored lenses, this is glaring and painful to the senses. There is much confusion and pain of betrayal. The series tackled cheating and “rape” (in a loose sense of the term). Topics that are absolutely non-forgivable for a lot of us. But life is not black and white, there are so many grey areas. So for viewers who just want to enjoy a feel good movie and satisfy their sweet BL cravings, this may not be their cup of tea. But I am a sucker for happy endings, so after the roller coaster events, this has a happy ending.
If there is only one reason why we should watch Together with Me, it’s the Max-Tul pair. These two have the most mature and healthy BL partnership and it shows in this second project that they starred in. Both feed off on each other’s emotions in their heavy scenes and their love-making sizzles. You can just imagine how much trust they place on each other to be able to have this give and take interaction. I sympathized with Korn (Max) for all the sufferings he had to go through because he truly loves his childhood friend. But Knock’s (Tul) character is more complex; his sense-of-self dashed and masculinity challenged by his attraction and slowly falling in love to a most devoted Korn, then harshly pulled to the other end by his “loving” and innocent-of-the-whole-situation girlfriend, Pleng. Others are frustrated with his indecision and hurting Korn, but wouldn’t you have been just as confused and scared as Knock?
Another relationship that was featured and I found gutsy of the production to include in this series is that of Farm and Dr. Bright. This is a warning to lovesick newbies, there are many wolves in sheep’s clothing. Something to keep in mind after watching many happy ending faithful BLs. Dr. Bright’s character, though may seem a bit extreme, is part of reality. And truly, I have a substantial number of gay friends who are not monogamous and are experimental with their sex life. This is life. So young ‘uns newly entering the pool of boy-men-relationships, tread carefully.
The rest of the cast also gave their money’s worth. You will remember all of the friends and how important they are in the couple’s dynamics. Notable are kooky Yiwha, best friend and shoulder to cry on of Korn, and also Plern Pleng, Knock’s beautiful girlfriend who achieved in being the most hated character but who we initially sympathized with. I also understood why she had Knock entwined in her devious little pinky.
High points in the soundtrack because I remember both main tracks used in the series. Half a point subtracted from rewatch value because Together with Me does not give you the easy to watch and fun experience like other BL series. But this does get into mind if you want to take a break from fluff and you want to sink your teeth in something substantial.
