Did I have high expectations for this one? Yes. But they started quite good just to end up crashing.


The plot was a cliché, but still promising. The first episodes were good but then it stopped there. In mid-way there was no further development.

I believe both actors are straight and new to BL acting (not sure though). They seemed to have chemistry at first when they were faking the relationship (and didn't really have to act as couples do), but once they were dating for real it felt as if the actors had some type of problem with showing affection as a couple.
I'm not talking about kisses or sex like "TharnType", that's not necessary to show two characters in love. But what they did here is plain bromance, not BL.
I compare "2gether" with "My Engineer" which is still ongoing. In "My Engineer" the main couple didn't kiss (yet) after 12 episodes, not sure if the series will even have a kiss scene between the leads. However their actions and the emotions that the actors put on the characters are enough to make you belive that they are in a love relationship. The same goes for the other couples on the show, having their right amount of screen time despite not being the leads.
Those are things that are missing in "2gether".

I've read on some comments that this is Win's first BL drama and it shows. I watched a video of Win and Bright reacting to one of the episodes and Win seemed to be more focused on making clear that Tine is not him than to watch it, while Bright looked way more relaxed and chill. What makes me wonder if Win is ashamed of being on a BL drama...

The acting, excluding the lack of chemistry to make the audience belive that there is love, is not bad. I've seen worse.
The music is nice too. Maybe they pushed Scrubb too much but it was okay.


Worth to watch again? Not really. It goes on the bottom part of my list. Not the last spot but almost.


Looking forward to the whole cast's next project and see if they improve.
