An Expected Disappointment that I never wished.

I want to say something first personally.

My memories save the first 10 episodes only as the best vibes and assumed the last 3 episodes are nothing to do with the 2gether the series.

I think that almost all of us feel SOTUS vibes from earlier episodes of 2gether series. This is one of the reason what I like about 2gether Story.

It has the charm , heart warming feeling and the vibes that will stay deep inside after knowing the whole story. We loved the characters and the preciousness of storylines.

What this re-scriptwriting series lack is the essential elements from original storyline and the refreshness of their (production team) stereotyped mind. I think that they though making such a fun ,cute and meaningful storyline into melodrama on last minutes can hit among series fans and the connection between series and fans could become stronger ?

I think the answer "No " will come out alltogether.
I can accept that 2gether team is making the series to feel something different from what we've seen as spoilers on everywhere. The biggest mistakes is the non-consistency of main chracters.

The worst things is changing PAM charactes into female vallain to hit melodrama at the last minutes. I think PAM characters in the series is very cheap, the most hateable one that I've ever seen on BL series and also making non sense at all.

And again,the scriptwriter and producing team chose and used SARAWAT from the novel and they never value that character. They're destroying it after every episode and then when the Ep 12 is arrived, the SARAWAT we all know is not there anymore. And Tine too. Tine hugging Mil who is trying to flirt with him and also knowing that , he hugged back . That things were totally ununderstandable.

It had the potential to become top tier BL series among all after earlier episode but still they choose their way not to become like that by disrespecting the depth of characters and original story.

Overall , I can't help but I gotta say this is the flop series. It's not that the actors have no chemistry and also series was not overrated at all in the beginning. The thing is actors had more chemistry on the beginning ( fake dating) and after each episodes that chemistry is slowly fading away till it hits final episodes. The chemistry on Final episode is more like brother rather than couple and every happpenings on episode 11 (especially on) 12 are not the things that the one who deeply in love with one another would never do. SARAWAT would never turn his back on Tine, let Tine running away crying and give priority to stay still and clear things out with PAM first on that place, let Tine to take way by other guy who also is flirting tine , not checking to hospital when Tine was seriously ill and so many other mess on. He's not that kind of guy and Tine is not the kind of hugging back eveyone. PAM also is not the destroyer and cheap type of girl.

The earlier episode made me to find original story desperately because I couldn't bare to wait coming episodes every friday and when I found and read whole story I've became official diehard fan of 2gether the story. The first 3 episode made me that kind of person. Meaning that the series had so much potential and I gave too much hope on this.

But let's say what if I put aside that hope , I think this series is still fun and enjoyable one but on basic level. SARAWAT-TINE or BRIGHT-WIN make every BL fan's friday brighter and more fun then usual. They stayed in our heart. It's obvious that Director P'Champ tried his best and did all with goodwill so that I don't wanna put blames on him. Because everybody will need something to fix forever as no one can be perfect.Win also tried his best and the result came out excellently even though his is the newest one in there. Bright also have deep and clear minded and is work-hard actors. The rest of the acting crew took full responsibility on thier own character. Without the Original stroyline, Actors and Directors , this series could become a total mess on the highest level with that kind of narrow-mined producing team and lazy ,stereotyping and disrespecting scriptwriting.

Other thing that I wanna point out one more time is
"Tine " Titled song should be cute,romatic love song (at least I assumed like that) but it came out as confusing sad song. Don't get me wrong because I loved that song right away after they premiered. I'm just pointing out this song is completely not suitable to become "Tine" song making me think that this also is one of the biggest mistakes.


Beside all of the things I mentioned above, The series is still enjoyable and scrubb's songs are way beyond superb. The music , directing (ep1-10) and acting are superb ( for me) or at least it's more than worth watching. I gave 9.5 score after 5 episode and now I reduced it down to 8.0 very sadly. I didn't expect that and still I don't want to do that kind of lowering rating. This is the very first time that I reduced my rating .This may be the result of hoping too much on something.
