THE BEST BL EVER!
Why do I call this series the best Bl in this world ? I have an explanation about that. First of all I have to talk about the amazing job of the actors and and the people behind the camera have done. The production is beautiful. They have chosen the best cast from the main actors (Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree who is playing Sarawat and Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn who is playing Tine) to the least needed. I loved how realistic the acting was.The story line is great and every time Sarawat would say his iconic line "Can I touch your boobs?" I would blush! I find the characters lovely and I like that they didn't make this series elegant or rich but they made it be realistic and how real life can be. Why do i say that? Because I have watched many school-life series where the characters aren't stressed about there homework. I have watched school-life series where the characters have perfect grades but they are never shown in any scene studying and I find that weird. I would recommend this series undoubtedly. The great actors, the great story line, the good music and brightWin. They make this series even better with their cute and lovely scenes that I don't think every actor could pull of that good. The thing that they are friends behind the scenes makes it even more beautiful!!!!!! Watch it and I think you will change your way of thinking!??

Not as bad as people have said, but could improve hopefully in the follow-up
It's not the greatest BL series, but it wasn't terrible. The basic story is that the Tine asks Sarawat to become his fake boyfriend after another guy, Green, keeps bothering Tine at the university. Tine chooses Sarawat because he's the most popular guy at the university. . He plays guitar and is in the music club. Tine keeps bothering him and even joins the music club so he can keep tabs on Sarawat. Tine hopes Green will back off after seeing he's with SarawatSarawat finally gives in as Tine is able to join the music club, which was part of the agreement between the two. Throughout the story, their relationship develops and Sarawat actually has already seen Tine and has had a crush on him since seeing him. I won't say where and when.
The first half was cute as Sarawat shows his affection for Tine, but Tine of course thinks it's all fake and for show to get rid of Green. Sarawat finally confesses to Tine he really likes and they eventually live with each other, which is where I think things went a bit downhill. The relationship between the two didn't really show any growth, which I think is a complaint from viewers. It sort of just remained the same. They do kiss and sleep with each other, but that doesn't really represent growth in a relationship.
The side story on Tine's brother, Type, and Sarawat's friend, Man, is kind of boring and I wasn't interested in it. Actors Drake and Frank ('Cause You're My Boy) are in it as well as another side story that reminds me they were cute together when they played Mork and Tee, but in 2gether, it seems kind of forced.
I am anxiously waiting for the mini follow-up, Still2gether.

I see a lot of people reviewing this drama poorly, so I wanted to share my two cents.SUMMARY:
The drama tells the story of Sarawat and Tine. Tine wants to get rid of a boy who's chasing after him so him and his friends decide that he'll get the most popular, mysterious boy at school (Sarawat) to pretend to be his boyfriend. Sarawat agrees to help him and they end up falling in love. With a twist; What Tine doesn't know, is that Sarawat actually fell for Tine at first sight at a concert a few years ago.
REVIEW:
I really loved this series as a whole. The tone of this story is very sweet and funny. The actors did an amazing job. The music plays a big role in this and I really loved the soundtrack as well as the original songs by the actors. The editing is a bit choppy, which sometimes takes away from the emotional impact a scene can have. The writing itself could have been better.
I am a little sad we didn't get more intimacy. I'm not talking kisses, but seeing them being boyfriends, eating together, holding hands, listening to music, going on a date maybe? or something in that regard. High fives are fine, just maybe not after you cried over your boyfriend and moved out your stuff? The grand gesture of the song was wonderful though, I just think this series started off really strong and therefor people's expectations only got higher. But that doesn't mean it was bad.
Like everyone else I was a bit disappointed the last two episodes were spent on a rushed "hurdle" for our main couple because after the stargazing scene in episode 11 I don't think there was any reason for Tine to doubt Sarawat's love. It might have been a better fit to make the Pam arc and the "your smile" song arc in the same episode. Then the stargazing scene would have been the finale.
What also could have worked is seeing more of Sarawat's perspective. Like I get that Tine doubting him could really weigh on him and that might have been an interesting hurdle for them if they really wanted to create one. I guess in the end, the story itself has some plot holes and near the end Sarawat acted a bit out of character (not going to see Tine in the hospital ? Turning away to sleep while Tine's upset in bed? Episode 11 Sarawat would never.) purely for ~drama.
All in all, I enjoyed this series a lot. Bright and Win did so well. I'm really happy they were Sarawat and Tine and I can't wait to see what they do next. I will definitely rewatch this and will always remember it fondly.

Finally, it's not about engineering!
This series started off sooo strong, the chemistry of the MCs was amazing at the beginning. But it kind of felt like it was going nowhere after a while. It either decreased or just stayed the same. When the Tine and Sarawat were fake dating, they seemed to have a stronger chemistry, but then it just went a tiny bit downhill. One thing I didn't like is that Sarawat was so weirdly obsessed with Tine's boobs, Tine obviously didn't like the fact that he kept asking to touch them even after HIMSELF made it clear he didn't want him to. In my opinion, it wasn't the best thing.Let me also talk about Green's character... The stereotype ???? They made him RUN after him, literally stalk him, just for Tine to date him.. Let's not forget, Tine was labeled as straight when that happened so Green looked like he was trying to turn Tine gay and stuff. I have no idea if that was the point but Green's character was portrayed so badly. That issue was the first thing I noticed.
I'm going to talk about the acting now...
I have no idea if it's just me but Bright's acting was a bit... off at some point? I don't know if it's just Sarawat's character but half the time it looked like his face was frozen.. ? Maybe he didn't like starring in a BL as a main character.
Win's acting was okay though! He knew how to show the emotions correctly, and i think it was his first series ? I'm not sure but I think he had the least experience in acting in the whole crew.
THE MUSIC????
I loved the band Scrubb, their songs are amazing and I could feel the emotions through heir voice even though I do not understand Thai.
About the rewatch value, well, I don't plan on rewatching it since it wasn't "mind-blowing" enough
Reminder that this is just my personal opinion ! Everyone is entitled to be able to express their opinion freely, so don't come at me HAHA

Great BL starter
Good :*Plausible story (for every couple in the series)
*Easy to follow and light story (not much drama and lots of fluff)
*Handsome actors (h*ell yeah!)
*Great soundtracks (actually fits my music choices which resulted to a thai playlist in my spotify)
*Interlinked pairings (they all lived in a small world, which is in a good way. I didn't have a problem recalling how the 3rd or nth couple is connected to the first couple's world)
Not-so-Good :
*The chemistry between most couples aren't spot on (and although I love the premise on sarawat's brother and rival, it was an agonizing experience watching them in their scenes. It was less agonizing for tine's brother and sarawat's friend but it still lacked that *snap* quality to it)
Overall :
I'm really glad this was the very first boys love series I watched. I highly recommend this to those who haven't traversed the BL world as it is light and easy to follow.

A boy (sarawat)fall in love with a boy whom he saw in a concern though he already in love with some but seeing this boy ,how he enjoying the music ,made him (sarawat) fall for him (tin). Then anyhow they came together tgen everything was going okay but something happened they got separated nd then come again .
So now new I had seen in this drama but good thing about drama that they didn't stretch melodrama much .
But I like sarawat and tin story but other couple story donor have that spark or connectivity with the emotions .
Script is good but need more interesting element .
One scene I like the most though it is sad scene when tin cried ,so touchy and emotional ..
One time watch drama.

Besides selling the two guys skinship, the small tiny detail of the expression and eye contact makes audience questions whether they truly falling in love, Bright is good in showing the expressions which is best suit the situation and the character. Win is naturally bringing himself into the character which seems no differences between his real life and the character. There are still some parts of Win over acting a bit, but it's forgivable as it's his first drama.
Glad to having this drama during the period of stuck in the house to maintain social distancing.
And honestly Bright did remind me of Leonardo cause of persuasive acting and charming looks.
Can't wait for their improvements in their actors career!

That this show is just so adorable!
I think this show is just overall amazing. There wasn't a moment where I was bored while watching.The chemistry is unreal!! I love the cast they are all very handsome, they are all very good at acting too. Plus the music is great too! I love how actors fit the persona's of the characters. It's super cute and there were moments where I laughed. Just an overall amazing show it deserves a ten in my book. Only thing wrong with it is that it feels like years waiting for a new episode to come out even though i'm only waiting for a week...Was this review helpful to you?
