Best BL by far

Okay so I've recently gotten into BL(for some reason I didn't think they existed, thank heavens I stumbled upon them) but I've watched a lot of BLs since then. 2gether has got to be my no.1 BL of all those I have watched.

The show was cute and had it's fun and serious moments. Bright's(Sarawat) acting was really on point in this drama, after the first episode you start to realize that there's more to his story than what meets the eye. His actions and facial expressions gave away so much but because you don't know the ending your mind starts to wonder more and more and more about his true feelings for Tine. When we get to episode 6/7 your mind finally gets to relax because all the puzzle pieces are finally fitting together. If I had to give the award for best actor it would be to him, he nailed his role.

Win(Tine) also did well in the show especially for his first ever drama. There were parts where his acting was a bit awkward but only minor parts if I'm being honest. Tine is this out going, oblivious guy, happy go lucky etc and Win portrayed him well.

THE POSITIVES
What I loved the most was the story line, it was simple but so heart warming to watch. I liked how Tine is completely oblivious to Sarawat's true feelings but at the same time it's like he was aware of his feelings for Sarawat but wasn't really paying attention to them?(idk if this makes sense).

I loved how cute Sarawat could be, to everyone else he is this cold guy who seems to not care about others but to his friends and Tine he is kind of a dork. The boob grabbing scenes were to die for, the killer lines such as: "keep staring at me like that and I'll kiss you til you drop, you're annoying", "If you were my boyfriend, I'd kiss you from your hair to your shadow" had me rolling off the bed. Especially the first line I quoted, like why would someone you met just that day be annoying? And because of that thought you can't help but click to the next episode in hopes to find out.

Tine not being aware but at the same time being aware of his feelings towards Sarawat was gold to me. Some scenes he'd be angry at Sarawat for saying or doing something to him, like the first time they kissed and then Sarawat passes out. Then there would be moments whereby he'd be blushing at the things Sarawat did or said. I love how he opens up to him about his feelings for the first time in episode 6 and kind of runs away from him after realizing that the cats out of the bag.

I liked that their relationship wasn't sexualized a lot, it gave us kissing scenes and the super intimate scenes were left to our imagination.

The friendships between the characters were nice as well, super supportive and caring friends though sometimes it got a bit too much but in the end they made the show more romantic 'cause our main couple now had to prove to their friends and each other that they truly love one another.

The comedy was gold, the romance was gold, the cuteness was gold as well.

THE NEGATIVES

What I didn't like about the show was the side couples, it was fine in the first few episodes but the more you went in the more I felt it was taking our view of off the main couple.

I also didn't like that there wasn't much skin ship between Sarawat and Tine. I think they kiss 4 times in the whole 13 episodes, yes they cuddle and sleep in the same bed but at some point you as the viewer start to want more. There were some scenes where I thought a kiss should happen but instead we got a pat on the head from Sarawat (last episode when they get back together). Then there's Tine always saying no to a kiss or being intimate, like I get it but at the same time 90% of Sarawat's advances were rejected by Tine. The plus was when he allowed Sarawat to grab his boob at the café, that made me really happy.

I would rewatch the series but not the last 3 episodes(just the happy moments). To me those episodes felt like fillers, like: okay we gave them fluff and comedy and some drama but not enough drama. Let's add this random girl into the story line and rattle their relationship. Even when we watch the scenes of when Sarawat first fell in love with Tine we don't see her at all in the back ground or next to Sarawat. The last 3 episodes would have been way better without her and the trust issues that arise between Sarawat and Tine. The writers could have focused more on the love song instead of adding an extra character on top of that. If they had focused more on that those last 3 episodes would have been the best out of the rest in my opinion. It would have been more romantic and funny and cute.

I also didn't like how they played down the romantic scenes. Sarawat would say the deepest things to Tine that had my heart melting and Tine blushing beat red and then he'd kill the mood by saying: Do you think I just confessed my love to you?(episode 7). Like, we already know that you meant it so why take it back?
Or when he said: If you were my boyfriend, I'd kiss you from your hair to your shadow. Yes, Tine tries to brush it off by saying he is a perv, but you can see that he was affected by those words. Instead of saying something extremely corny and cliched that would have made Tine blush even further he down plays it by saying it was a practice line for when they run into Green. There's so many scenes in which this is done that I just want to crawl in the screen and yell LIES! ALL LIES!! but it's fine, even though I didn't like some of those they still added romance to that scene.

The ending, I wanted more for the ending. I feel the side couples had better cute endings than our main couple. Yes, they are playing guitar in front of the new club members but how much has their relationship progressed after a year?

Over all, I loved this BL. It might seem like I have more negatives than positives but the positives outweigh the negatives. We get our happy ending for everyone and I felt sad once I had finished it. I justed wanted someone from MIB(Man in Black) to come wipe my memory of 2gether away so I could watch it again for the first time.
It was beautiful and something I recommend you watch
