Disappointing
(I'm not a native speaker, I apologise for any mistakes).
Soooo, when I write this review, 2gether has just ended and the only word that come to my mouth to describe this drama is "disappointing". I didn't dislike the show and I don't want to be rude but it doesn't deserve this current mydramalist rating (9), at least for me.
I really liked the beginning of 2gether. There were new and good looking actors, fresh storyline, nice music. Even if the story was basic it was still okay because thanks to the characters and the chemistry between the two leads. It was okay until episode 7 I think. Then, when the story of the second couples begin to be more interesting, the one of Sarawat and Tine became boring. The story became so cliché, the last episode was so useless. Nothing happened! About the story with Pam,I had the feeling it was only here to add more episodes but that's all. It was so annoying to see the leads fighting whereas a little discussion could have solved any problem. Tine didn't want to listen to Sarawat, Sarawat was doing nothing etc. The only thing that was fine, at the end, was the second couples, and especially the one with Type and Man. I really loved them! It's a shame that they didn't have that much of screen time and that their story only really began and the last quarter of the series. These characters were underdeveloped.
I just want to talk about the romance and the chemistry, and for that I will make some comparisons with SOTUS. Why this drama? Because it's my favourite BL and because I think that it's similar. By that I mean that in both 2gether and SOTUS the romance is shy : there are no much kiss scenes or intimate scenes. First about the chemistry. If there was A LOT of chemistry at the beginning, this same chemistry decreased and at the end I was just feeling....nothing. When Kongpob and Arthit are together, just when they look at each other we can feel that there is SOMETHING between then. During the 2nd part I didn't feel that between Tine and Sarawat. Maybe it's just me. Then, about the kiss scenes. I think it wasn't natural at all. Some kisses were also "fake" (like "movie-kiss") and there wasn't any real romantic kiss. There was the drunken-kiss, the kiss to say "I love you got it?" and the angry-kiss. But no actual and genuine romantic kiss scenes sadly. In SOTUS, there are a lot of suggestions about their sexual life. Here there were non. I agree they just began to date. But why are they moving together when they just began to date then? If the "can I touch your boobs" was funny at the beginning, it wasn't very subtile and at the end, I was just annoyed by that. The character development and the evolution of the romance weren't well-written unfortunately.
The end was soooo disappointing. Not even a kiss. Just the guitar, a high five and Sarawat who touch Tine's head (after one year of relationship??)... The acting wasn't bad, but sometimes Bright really lacked of natural in his expressions...
2gether is a refreshing BL. Indeed, the songs are nice and it makes the viewer discovers more about Scrubb songs, which is nice. The leads are good looking and I think that for those who are not used to BL dramas it was cool and it's one of the reason why so much people appreciated this show. But for me it's just an average drama and I feel very sad about this because I actually loved the first episodes very much.
