Most of what you look for in a sequel

Of course I had to watch the sequel after how much I enjoyed 2gether.
Anyone who fell in love with WatTine will enjoy the continuation.

I feel like there's not much in spoilers in a sequel when there's no "will they or won't they." Anyone looking to watch this probably wants to know if they'll find what they're looking for from characters they already like.

To me, music was incredibly important to the original series, but it kind of misstepped here in the sequel. Ironically, the underproduced music from the original sounded better and felt organic. I believed the characters were singing in the scenes, regardless of if they were. For Still 2gether, the music was overproduced. You could tell we were listening to a studio recording, and it wasn't playing off-camera in the scene either. They clearly cut all audio from the music scenes and replaced it with the polished recording and sound effects. So the music was kind of a let down in that regard. Sound editing was incredibly lacking.

Being new to Thai culture, I had to learn what the sniff kiss was, because for a while I thought they kept teasing us with expecting a kiss and not getting one, before I learned its meaning and got it into my head that it seems to be the equivalent of a kiss in American television. That being said, while a little disappointed there weren't many kisses because of this, when they finally did have a legit kiss, that one was all the more powerful and satisfying because I'd been waiting for so long. So sometimes less is more. It was worth the wait to me.

I really enjoyed that there wasn't unnecessary drama introduced to threaten the Wat and Tine's relationship. The relationship was the conflict because relationships are hard. So I loved that it was just slice of life watching these guys navigate their relationship.

I think I didn't enjoy the side couples as much as the first series. The balance just wasn't quite there.

Sarawat and Tine still managed to be the cutest in how they express their love to each other, and that's mostly what I wanted anyway.
