Nobody deserved this, specially the cast

Not every story needs a happy ending. Not every couple stays together. But every series needs to have a story. If the production had no plot for Together with Me: The Next Chapter, this show shouldn’t exist.

Nothing works on this series. Korn/Knock continue to prove that they don’t fit together. Yiwha is not even the shadow of the character she once was. Farm is practically unbearable in every second he’s on screen. Cho is the same, which is to say he’s still there. Fai is the only aspect that continues to be good, but she barely has a story and usually is there just for comic relief or to show how everybody else is terrible. Phubet and Kavitra apparently don’t exist in this parallel universe. And then we have the families and the work environment… which combined take over the space occupied previously by the university.

We know from TWM that Korn has an older sister, she’s part of the show. We even see her visiting the family home in the last episode (before they moved?). Kavitra knows that Korn is gay. Now, we have a series that takes place after TWM and we meet Korn’s parents. They NEVER acknowledge the fact that they have a daughter. Not a single character remembers that she exists. I understand that the actress might not have been available, but it’s impossible that the character would not have tried to help her brother or that anyone would suggest asking her for help.

The work place drama is even worse most of the time. Yiwha and her boss never really have any chemistry and their story is very forced, same with the jealousy towards Cho and his female boss. The factory is a whole different mess. We have 2 main storylines and both are horrible. The office guys x factory guys is SO bad, so bad. The show just needed villains with no purpose. With the exception of the machine breaking, every problem looks like pure incompetence from the factory guys. And they obviously, because it fits the story, are also homophobic. And then we have the boss…

He’s creepy, at least the show achieved that. And Cho kinda realized that early, but never thought of mentioning it. I’m almost sure that Pete only exists to make Korn the "villain" and the one screwing up for once. Everybody knew that Knock was always the one being an idiot and acting like a teenager, so this series had to try to balance things out. I’m not against the idea of Korn cheating, but the way this show does it is awful. How was it not clear to everybody that Pete was a bad guy once the picture of Korn in his room got leaked? Who else could have leaked that picture if they were alone in the room?! When Dr. Bright appears to be a reasonable character, compared to the others, we might have a big problem.

Long story short, this show exists because people wanted more MaxTul and that means money. Unfortunately, there were no good ideas, so we got this mess.
