Lets start off by saying this show is awesome and please watch it, just for some of the actors in it who were really good.

The story -
Average run of the mill trope (Main couple meets accidentally and guy falls in love and later tries to get said love) Then they added the fake boyfriend trope (very BL) and smushed it 2gether to make a good story that started fantastic and ended up well... lets just say that if you watch this backwards it'll be more rewarding lol.

The Acting - Characters -
Bright - Sarawat - Great voice, his acting is ok Sarawat as a character really isnt that interesting until the end and that was only in one episode. There were plenty of times that his face didnt match the mood i kept thinking in parts"is he angry? wait is he happy?" and it looked like he always was smirking it was weird.. he still hot lol
Win Metawin - Tine- The star in my opinion i had no expectations from him because I've never really heard of him but damn i enjoyed watching him develop and the way he used his expressions to add to the scene omg i love him lol
guy is gonna skyrocket in anything he does. If he does more BLs he'll rank up there with the other BL legends. Lets hope he gets a better role or if they get bright and him to do another show that they allow them more freedom to express especially Bright
Gun - Green - Played a flamboyant character to the fullest very tropey but he did a fantastic job at it and i have a soft spot for him lol kinda left out after the main get together. Loved his interactions with Dim the very little amount they got
Drake - Mil - I love Drake but i don't what happened to this role it was kinda all over the place. Is he bad, is he good, is he nice? He likes tine but then they kinda shows affection to Phukong (btw tragic character but thats later) lots of mixed signals and at the end had a bit more chemistry with Tine then Saraway did lol Either way Drake did good.
Frank - Phukong - Jesus talk about the raw end of the deal this character is tragic as all hell the whole show he pines for Mil and gets spit on and trampled lol with a very lazy ending for them wtf was that hes the second "option" and hes ok with >.> Frank needs a better role dammit anyways was a good effort for Frank he did his best with a character that really didn't do much besides being desperate for a guy that just doesn't want him.
Mike - Man - Actually quite enjoyed man, Mike did a great job especially his first BL role (i think its his first i could be mistaken), His interactions with Type were albeit a little disturbing at some points stalkerish lol but he redeems himself by bot doing the tropey kiss and or touch a drunk Type (you get a thumbs up writers! but that doesnt excuse that ending)...
Toptap - Type - I liked what i saw of the character what very little we got he actually got to act in the end half of the series which wasn't the best half lol he played him as the hard doting older brother (which is hilarious when you put the gigantic Win next to the smaller Toptap, I actually liked that)
Guy - Dim - played the club president wasn't super impactful (The GOOD he showed us hes a true friend to sarawat the BAD he hurts Green? did they skip over that idk maybe im just overthinking or did they interpret the words incorrectly.) Anyways Guy is lovely and its good that he got another role i wish he had more screen time with Gun.
Gunsmile - playing Gunsmile lol its Gunsmile cmon he awesome just being funny lol he plays Boss which is pretty much just him
Nene - Air - I loved he interaction with everyone, especially Tine & Dim, she didn't get much screen time but when she did she was fantastic!
Khaotung - Fong - This took me by surprise i thought he was just going to be a background character like the rest of Tines gang but he actually provides character development to both Tine and Sarawat. More roles for Khaotung please!
The rest of the cast were pretty much background characters, they show up do some parts, either never show up again and/or have no meaningful impact in the story lol sorry

The Music-
Holy bonkers the music is great Bright is a good singer (hes not a technical super gifted vocalist but he has a really nice sound) Also this show has gifted us the music of Scrubb a new generation has found appreciation for this band that alone gives this show at least half its rating.

Rewatch Value -
Watch the first half until they become a couple then stop you'll thank me later lol

Lets talk about that ending.. who in their right mind thought "hey you know what a romantic comedy should end on? A kiss? A hug? A warm and deep Embrace? No even better! A Fucking High Five :D" WHAT?! it left everyone deflated and scratching their heads thinking were they actually a couple? or were really good friends that lived together and "accidentally" kissed once or twice. It lacked a lovers spark after they got "2gether" idk what happened its like they got married after 40 years and now they are at the friend phase of relationship, they aren't physical with each other but they do still love each other >.>What started out with a bang ended with a clap.. of two hands.
It was a great ride, air conditioning, great music, good snacks.. then they hit a road bump.. and then they get a flat and at the end they drove very close to the cliff and then proceeded to drive off it, but hey the trip was great along the way before we fell of the cliff :D

7/10!

Never 2gether

I was very surprised by all the negative reviews here as I have always heard 2gether praised as a wonderful BL drama and, of course, Bright/Win is a major ship. Having finally watched it, I can confidently say...I don't get it. Any of it. The story after the first couple of episodes is god awful. The level of miscommunication and lack of character devolvement is just astounding. As for Bright and Win, like the vast majority of BL actors, they're attractive, but unlike a number of other BL actors I could name, they're not overly talented so I don't understand the hype. So as far as I'm concerned, 2gether is severely overrated.

The story starts out promising and relatively cute. It was fun, I liked the characters and progression, and then suddenly, Tine and Sarawat make the move to an actual relationship and everything just folds. The chemistry they had during their fake relationship is gone, the character development is gone, the entertainment is mostly gone and suddenly we're dealing with a lot of angst and paranoia and just general BS. But what it lacks, and it lacks it in spades, is communication. There is constant miscommunication between the two because they simply will not open their mouths to talk. Rather than sitting down to have an actual conversation, Tine resorts to stupid methods like flipping a coin to ask Sarawat questions or going through Sarawat's phone. And Sarawat knows what's up, but rather than getting a handle on things before they get out of hand, he just ignores it. Tine's also constantly suspicious of Sarawat's actions which Sarawat doesn't help by doing an excellent impression of a clam. They just sabotage themselves and each other at every turn and it's utterly ridiculous to watch.

Their characters also just devolve. Tine starts out as this sassy, confident young man and by the end he's practically a shadow of his former self. He's constantly paranoid and uncertain of where he stands with Sarawat, he lacks confidence, and in that end scene, he's almost simpering. Like, please bring back the bad ass who went head to head with Sarawat at the beginning. And Sarawat just became progressively more and more wishy-washy. When they were fake dating, he was ready to go head to head with people, but when they're actually dating, he lets the likes of Pam get between them. Which don't even get me started on that whole trope of bringing back the ex-girlfriend to stir up drama. It was just so disappointing to see.

The side relationships were thrown in far too late and/or given far too little attention to add anything meaningful. Man and Type's relationship was severely rushed especially there towards the end and both theirs and Phukong and Mil's felt very shallow. I never got a good impression of why Man and Phukong were so obsessively attracted to Type and Mil respectively aside from they were attractive and had a generic moment of kindness. I really couldn't care much about whether they got together or not because they just weren't believable to me as couples.

I know I've seen a lot of complaints about the lack of physical intimacy between Tine and Sarawat. Personally, that didn't bother me. We have so many dramas these days with heavy make out scenes or downright NSFW scenes, that it was kind of refreshing to have a distinct lack of that. Not every relationship is going to be defined by one or both people wanting to jump the other's bones. Intimacy can be shown in a variety of different ways. The problem here is that Tine and Sarawat are supposed to be boyfriends and there is almost no intimacy of any kind. Again, I'm not talking about physical intimacy like kissing or hugging or even hand holding. I'm talking about things like little touches, eye contact, doing things for one another, spending time with each other one on one, etc. Those kinds of things can convey a level of intimacy as well. Instead, they just seemed uncomfortable whenever they had to be in too close of proximity to each other after that transition to boyfriends and I really don't understand it.

The acting of the leads wasn't anything impressive. However, since this was Win's first main acting role, he did a serviceable job. He definitely has room to grow though. Considering the number of roles he's had since, I'm hoping he's improved. I would have expected a lot more from Bright with his experience but he was just very wooden throughout. Maybe that was deliberate, but even if you're playing a wooden character, there needs to be some flexibility and expression and he just really lacked that. Mike, Drake, and Khaotung were the standouts. Mike is always good at bringing in the laughs and this time was no different. His character was a little more forced this go around, but I still thought he did a good job though I preferred him when he wasn't pursuing Type. Drake is such a versatile actor, he deserves more main roles. He always brings his A game though and this time was no different. And I love Khaotung. He plays the sympathetic characters so well and I really loved how he portrayed Fong here. He balanced the teasing and softness really well.

The music was superb. I had never heard of Scrubb before, but I am now a fan as I'm sure many who've watched this drama are. If nothing else, this drama wasn't a total waste of time since I found some new music.

I am going to be very frank and say that 2gether was still pretty much a waste of time. I can generally find something redeemable about most dramas I watch, but this is a tough one. I think the fact that it was so hyped makes it harder for me to reconcile how truly disappointing it was. If you're looking for a good story, skip it. If you're looking for NSFW scenes, this is definitely not for you. If you're simply looking for attractive actors and good music, then you might enjoy this. Basically anything else, it's really not worth your time.

As I’ve a couple of the reviews, some were quite harsh and some gave reviews that were almost too good to apply to the story.

Just to cover this up. This is a personal Preference but usually I’m someone who would most likely skip side stories, sometimes side stories seem like just a way to distract you from the main storyline and take up space. However, If there were maybe only one side story, it would be a lot more bearable. With just two storylines it would provide more room for chemistry and screen time for both couples and since you would learn more and spend more time with those characters who are deeply involved, you would then be more interested in the story.

Ok, My first Impression of this was that past bl’s that i’ve watched have never really been like this bl before. It was just somehow different. I literally binge watched it all through the night, however when It got around the end is when my expectations started running low and i get disappointed all over again. By past Bl’s what i meant was when they fully rush into a relationship without the much needed chemistry for it and they add way too much fluff, to the point where it’s unrealistic and there’s alway a fight between the two characters (Ehem Tharntype) I get the cute little lesson that ‘not all relationships are perfect‘ and ‘little things always happens to relationships and ones that over come them will last long’. But those go to a certain length to build a relationship up, at the point they were going they might’ve actually just broken up, realistically speaking. With all the paranoia and distrust.

To my last point, I read another reviewer beautiful put. There was no chemistry between the two and they seemed like more of a friendship than a romantic relationship. I suppose it was how his character was or some sort but “Tine” was a little too reserved to be open to a gay relationship, I get that he was one straight and somehow thrown into his feelings for Sarawat but they could have at least made it believe able that he was able to love a man. Both the characters showed limited amounts of skin ships, Which was how it was in towards the end, It should be different for a show, Even if a show is not looking well in the beginning it should be able to turn up at the end However this show was just not that. After hearing that It was Both of their first Bl’s, I was a lot less upset at the actors and rather look towards the directors or crew, They should be able to direct them on how to actually make them look like a couple. The exact scene where After Tine was lost in the woods and then they came back to the bust, Sarawat sharing the past should’ve been something that made them even closer, however after they had finished speaking, Sarawat finished the conversation with none other than the old brotherly pat on the shoulder.. That was honestly an awkward scene and parts of their relationship became even more awkward at the end, Also the guy who was making attempts at stealing Tine, The guy with the eyebrows, was absolutely frustrating.

Also, I hope I’m not the only one who skips side stories.. don’t criticize me one it lmao.

I honestly only finsed this show because of bright, hes such a beautiful man and tine is too, the actually actor, the character tine had his cute moments but he lowkey mad me annoyed, the couple was more like friends that like each other instead of an actual couple. And i personally think it was due to how awkward tines character is. The story line .... uh i dont know i didnt fully get it to the end, and the ending and their chemistry was satisfying, once i I understood the plot. Love the actors though , i HOPE BRIGHT GETS CASTED in ANOTER DRAMA asap

"With greater popularity comes greater love & criticism. Let's high five to this" - Bright & Win

Even though this drama failed to meet my expectations in the end, I will say I'm still happy that I had something to look forward to each week during this long quarantine time. Also, I have not read the 2gether novel so my opinions will be based on the drama itself and my personal judgement is not clouded by how handsome both Bright and Win are as individuals, what matters to me is the story and how it's presented by the cast and production staff.

STORY:

We start off with a silly concept: Please be my fake boyfriend so my gay admirer will give up on pursuing me. The concept calls for comedy as Tine gets caught up in various situations as his admirer Green tries to win his heart. After much persuasion, Tine gets popular heartthrob Sarawat to become his fake boyfriend all while slowly falling for him himself and as their relationship grows, we begin to learn that Green may not be the only one trying to win Tine's heart.

The first 7-8 episodes seemed to be the strongest even though our main leads were not even in a real relationship. Chemistry, tension, entertainment factor, etc.. It was all superior to the second half and that's that the affection they showed was minimal. But I rewatched these episodes the most because as the series progressed, the direction of the series started to plummet. The relationships between side characters were seriously underdeveloped, especially Mil and Phukong's story, making their final outcomes in the last episode seem very forced and unrealistic.

Certain conflicts between Tine and Sarawat fell flat or weren't given the proper direction, with the most prominent being the issue regarding Sarawat's first love Pam in the final episodes. Tine and Sarawat never got an actual scene by themselves to openly talk to get a better understanding of each other and closure to their feelings on the situation. Instead we got a round-about way of explaining things through interactions with other people and a ton of flashbacks. Poor direction lead to out-of-character moments from Sarawat. There were barely any scenes with the main leads actually together then suddenly we were rushed into the band competition which didn't show much of a competition at all aside from Sarawat's song to Tine with questionable lyrics, a quick and oddly distant "ok we're back together" moment, and then the series ended. And don't even get me started with that high five.

The final episode of the series was like a gift someone wrapped with no real care or thought: Sure they wrapped it up, but there are many holes and when you open the gift to see the final result, you're left speechless because there's literally nothing inside.

ACTING:

Here's where I found much of my criticism if I ignore the directing. Bright and Win are great, but not great as a couple. An couple in love should be able to show their feelings whether they kiss or not, but this was something they couldn't pull off together onscreen. Actors should be able to portray their characters feelings, but it seemed that the actors themselves were outside of their comfort zone when it came to being romantically close and it transferred to the drama itself. While viewers could somewhat sense some distance as the drama progressed, the second half showed just how awkward it really was because their characters now required them to show affection and feelings of love towards each other. Once Sarawat and Tine were in an actual relationship, the little chemistry Bright and Win had started to visibly fall apart at a fast rate. You could tell they weren't comfortable being too close: we were given distant hugs, distant head pats, and the worst of all that high five from hell in the finale (lmao I'm sorry, but I still can't get over it). They were literally in a "long-distance" relationship.

Various climatic scenes that could've been perfect had their been a kiss or hug to highlight their love for each other were poorly executed and fell short because they did nothing but keep their distance. Another distant head pat. Another lets just smile at each other at a distance, or I love you, but let's keep a gap between us. Even the little scenes of Man and Type's speedy relationship in the final episode displayed more closeness and chemistry than Sarawat and Tine. There's nothing wrong with hugs or head pats and regardless of the tv rating, it's the way these gestures were executed that was very distant and lifeless for these two characters who are supposed to be in a romantic relationship.

On a somewhat positive side, I was pleasantly surprised by Win's acting since this is his first drama and I personally feel his performance outmatched Bright's by far, especially when it came to any emotional scenes. Crying? He can do it. Sadness? He can do it. When Tine is happy, he can easily show it. Bright on the other hand, not so much. Any scene that required deep emotions from Sarawat didn't work well which made it difficult to figure out his thoughts or feelings, at least for me. Sarawat has a more serious demeanor than Tine and Bright did well in those scenes, but anything emotionally complex such as sadness seemed difficult for him to portray. There's a scene in the final episode where it seems like he should be crying or looking deeply saddened while he stands in the middle of the road after Tine's departure, but they had him covering his face and even turning his back to the camera to cover up his inability to shed a tear and pull off those emotions.

REWATCH VALUE:

This is not a perfect BL drama, it's lacking in many ways but it's also not as terrible as others are making it seem. I know people are angry, their expecations were really high for a drama so widely watched and talked about. I myself was left bitter and underwhelmed at the end. But it's still a good watch. There's still comedy, handsome characters, sweet scenes of Sarawat serenading Tine with his voice and guitar, and is overall a very light show of romance. Almost invisible even lol If I watched this again, I would ignore most of the 2nd half because those episodes were poorly done. I really like Bright and Win, they made a visually stunning couple, but sadly they couldn't pull off a believable couple in love like I hoped they would. Hopefully they can improve if they ever decide to be in another BL drama, but this drama showed clear proof that they both aren't ready to portray a gay relationship.

I was a big fan of this series to be honest. Idk but I loved the first 7 episodes but the latter part became nonsense and awkward between sarawat and tine. I’m going to list down the strong and weak points of this series.

Strong Points

1. BrightWin Chemisty
- I won’t deny that bright and win has a promising chemistry. I felt butterflies in my stomach whenever I see them together (especially when they were listening to Scrubb). Although, they both became really odd in the last few episodes, the chemistry is still there

2. Amazing soundtracks
- God, I love their soundtracks. Emotional, catchy and very relevant to the story. I have to commend Scrubb. They were one of the game changer for this series.

3. Promising side actors
- The side actors did a pretty job in portraying their own roles. Man and Type gave this series a flavor of their own. Green was so amazing and it saddened me that he was gone in the latter part of the show. Drake is a good antagonist because he really pissed me off.

Weak points:

1. THE ENDING
- I can’t understand the ending to be honest. It has to be one of the, if not the worst, endings I’ve ever since. I invested so much expectation from this series but the ending was a big blah. They acted like friends, not lovers. I don’t feel the same butterflies as before. Disappointing, indeed.

2. The latter episodes felt so RUSHED.
- I don’t know but ever since they became lovers, everything felt so fast, especially with the angst scene. It felt it wasn’t supposed to happen but it happened only for the sake of angst and it felt so, weird?

3. Sarawatine as friends >> Sarawatine as lovers
- Seriously? I felt more love love when they weren’t lovers yet. All their kisses were from those scenes that they weren’t together yet. I mean, I’m not saying that they must kiss and kiss but at least, show to us the progression of their relationship. They became lovers yet it felt like their relationship went into a downfall when they started to become boyfriends. Sarawat changed a lot since they’ve been together. He was not the sarawat that I used to love. He cared less for tine and it makes me sad.

4. Messy storyline
- The storyline was a bit messy for me. Although there were amazing plot twists too, but there were a lot of scenes that made me say “what? why did it happen?” especially in the last few episodes.

5. Phukong deserved better
- Oh please, Mil treated him as his option if ever he fails with tine. and i don’t get it that after sarawatine got together, and after mil turned his back to phukong because he didn’t want to stay away from tine, they (phukong and mil) were spotted together at the musical festival, jamming together like nothing happened. Seriously? we need to see some effort from mil.

6. The music fest was nonsense
- Honestly, sarawat didn’t exert any effort to bring tine back. And it was only because of that music fest. And it felt very nonsense for me because ??? WE NEED EFFORT. WE NEED TO SEE DEVELOPMENT. but nothing. he did nothing but sing (for a fact that pear did the effort to talk with tine about sarawat)

To wrap up my review, 2gether: The Series went from an S tier to a big fat D-tier. As much as I wanted to fight for the series because I love brightwin so much but I can’t. I can’t understand why they ruined the beautiful start of the series. Despite my personal issues with the series, I can’t deny that this series made me happy, laugh and sad in its own unique way.

TOO OVERHYPED

Just like everyone else I started watching this series because of how hyped this series was.
I was wrong for keeping watching this series, as I completely missed out the wrongs and bads.

1. STORY/ACTING

I'm gonna honest and say that this series was the most awkward series I've ever watched in my entire life.

Through out the entire series, there was a huge lack of real intimacy between them being a couple that were supposed to be "in love".
When we were introduced to Tine and Sarawat for the first time, I felt like we may get something good of out them, if you know what I mean, as Sarawat was this mysterious guy and Tine being the shy school kid.

As they started fake dating, you could feel the tension in the air, and that what made me interested in the show, but sadly as their relationship progessed it lost its spark. The only reason I kept going with the series was because I was hyped as everyone else.
Watching it for the second time, made me realise I missed out alot of the flaws there were in the series.
I didn't like Tine's or Sarawat's characters AT ALL. They were not fit in that role as a couple.

2. WHAT I LIKED

I must admit, the only thing I liked was their OST. The rest was just not it.

3. OVERALL

I give this series a -10000/10. Would I consider rewatching it ? Absolutely not!

This is a show that started off strong enough, the fake dating trope was fascinating, there was a certain sweet chemistry between the leads. But as it went on, it was increasingly obvious that there is no substance, no depth, no plot to this series but glamor shots of leads and some isolated cutesy moments. The plot never made sense from the beginning and their relationship essentially ran on forced jealousy conflicts but the isolated cute moments between Sarawat and Tine were enough for the viewers to overlook those issues. But once they actually begin a relationship, every bit of chemistry between them is sucked away. These characters have no arcs, no growth, no development, no motivation, no family, no ambition. There is nothing to this series but the visuals of the leads. Side couples are never given enough space to develop, they are just used as fillers.
Many sins of this series would've been forgiven to a major extent if they could only deliver what a romcom is supposed to do: create a cute, well-rounded love story. But they fail at doing even that. This isn't a love story, there is no sense of togetherness between the couple. Intimacy isn't kissing. Intimacy is the natural ease between two people who are supposedly in a relationship. That sense of ease, that natural chemistry is completely missing between the two. Ever since they became a couple, they just looked unhappy and distant. Even at the ending, they looked dissociated from each other. It was uncomfortable to watch. There are bromances that deliver significantly better love stories than this. If a romcom fails at such a basic thing, it doesn't deserve high ratings.

Acting: Mediocre to okay. Win was better, Bright is good at fond gazes but he seems constantly disengaged to me. Side actors were better.

Direction/Plot: Direction wasn't good enough and there isn't a plot. This series ran on forced conflicts and the most basic writing. Dialogues were consistently terrible too.

Music/OST: I liked the OST and the music used throughout the show, best thing about it really.

okay so i just finished watching this drama and it was great. this was one of the really good ones this year. this year the casting visuals were not the best for this year considering all the other 2020 dramas. this time around though the cast was amazing with their visual.

story
the story was pretty good in the beginning it started getting rough for the last two episodes. I think they might've rushed the ending a bit but it was great in the end. if you consider the story from the beginning it is a classic storyline for Bl dramas. but the thing I like about this dram is that they were not really confused with their sexual orientation. they kinda new even though they had dated girls before.

cast/acting
I like how they had multiple couples. although the secondary couples got barely any scream time even though they were totally cute. the whole cast for this drama is eye candy. The acting is pretty good too. I think the chemistry between Tine and Sarawat was great because they played their characters so well. although the secondary couple's chemistry was really bad it was not my favorite. they were really awkward.

music
I usually do not pay much mind to the music but for this dram, it was pretty good.

As someone who has watched all BL series, I can say that this show is Amazing!! 2gether is the best BL drama I have ever seen after SOTUS, I started this with no expectations and I ended up falling in love with this show.
The story line funny and well written. The casting and the acting are perfect. Music is great, i discovered Scrubb and their songs thanks to this show. I'm completely in love with the actors who played TINE and Green. The most notable thing is the chemistry between the main actors, even i will be happier with more skinship but its ok.
I absolutely recommend this show.

The storytelling failed big time

I hate the storyline:
- Based on the novel, Tine - originally a straight guy, agreed to enter a relationship AS A BOTTOM with another gay guy (lol). And after he was violently forced .., he continued to stay with Sarawat. (seriously the novel writer knows zero shit about gay relationships.)
- From what was portrayed by the series, Sarawat got starstuck by Tine and came up with various schemes to get Tine to fall in love with him. After he succeeded and managed to get Tine, his passion and "love" appear to quickly die down.

Acting/Cast:
- Bright and Win did their best given what they had to work with. Please don't be harsh on them
- Watching behind-the-scene stuffs and BrightWin's interviews redeemed the show for me a little bit.

Music:
- Everyone seemed to love those Scrubb's songs played in the series but I just could not connect with them.
- I LOVE the OST video.

Rewatch:
- Ep 1 till the first half of ep 10 (before Type showed up at their new place). The whole "I know about your secret relationship but I will continue to act like a je** to your bf to spice things up for ya" is just weird, and it was the first time I sensed something really wrong with the show script.

Overall:
- Like most of the people here, I had high expectation but felt rather disappointed towards the end.
- I'm a huge Frank-Drake fan, so I was hoping this series could help boost their popularity. While it certainly did that, I'm sad that their moments together were mostly sad/heartbroken scenes.
- Does anyone else feel annoyed that the show watchers took their annoyance at Mil out on Drake by taking jab at his eyebrows ?

Classifying this as a "light" series is even an exaggeration.

Okay. I know a lot of people come to watch this series because of the visuals of the main actors. Even that's not enough to save the storyline's progression.

It started strongly and so promising with the fact that the dynamics involved in many characters. Tine wanted to avoid a boy who had a crush on him by seeking out a fake boyfriend. It went well and made the viewers jump of fluff and cuteness. As Tine slowly started to develop feelings for his fake boyfriend, the promising storyline and heightened tension between them started to fade too.

When Tine and Sarawat officially went out, they lacked many features of a new in love couple. Taking things too far as to move in together didn't help either. They didn't show any affections at all, which itself wasn't a problem if the story was executed perfectly. They didn't communicate well with one another and to their family and friends. Tine also had a big trust issue for Sarawat as if he got heartbroken many times because of him. They didn't have a healthy relationship and giving a bad example of how jealousy and childish behavior could be normalized without having a resolution.

All things considered, there were many things that I'd like to address as to why this series was overwhelmingly overrated:
1. Introducing a girl for a "destroyer" in their relationship in the last few episodes was a major disaster because it gave a rushed storyline with no appropriate closure.
2. Another character, Mil, who was supposed to like Tine also, was given a badly written villain edit with no chance of redemption. Even when he was being chased by Phukong, their story was as messy as it could get because they ended up with yet another rushed storyline.
3. Many side characters are just that, side and were not given any adequate character developments. They were there just to be a filler and not adding anything useful to the main plot.
4. The musical theme helped to alleviate this catastrophe a bit, but still the music could do so much to just be another filler.

In conclusion, this is not a good series with a proper representation of a gay relationship, or any relationships for that matter. Watching this as an enjoyment is a big turn off because the story just doesn't add up and can be frustrating to watch, and not in a good way. Overall, if you just want to watch their beautiful faces well, this series is a good way to go.
