WHY U should you watch WHY R U?

This isn't the best, but still a good one to watch!

I am captivated by its storyline. A fiction writer who suddenly became part of a fiction story, it is like every fiction writers hidden dream.

But honestly saying, this series has a bunch of things needed to fix.
* First, their first three episodes is great. But I feel that as the series continues, it loses its charm. Their first episode is the one I highly anticipated. But as the series goes, it becomes a little bit boring.
* Second, the actors are great even though some of them are just newbies. But they should be given more chances to act in the series. You feel that the supporting actors are really just supporting the story which is not enhancing the story.
* Third, the Story. Honestly, this is a good story but I don't why somehow it become boring to watch. It features a lot of couples, but only two of them improved their relationship in the end. The others, well. I cannot say anything because their stories aren't clear and developed enough in the series. (If this will be having a second season, it is their chance to improve this. But if still don't happen, I would be disappointed.)
* Fourth, the effects. I greatly admire this series for its awesome visuals. Not just the actors but the locations and the editing itself. But the continuity of the editing until the end isn't maintained. (Maybe it is because for the improvement of the story of the characters so its fine.)
* Lastly, the scenes. The scene obviously wants to highlight its main couples (Fighter-Tutor & Saifah-Zon), but the introduced a lot of couples. And highlighting the two couples resulted in too little or even no development in the storyline of the other couples. Also, there is a scene where the Fighter-Tutor spent a week in a beach, which takes a whole episode of them just making love. Other couples were featured but I think it doesn't even occupy one-fourth of the time of that specific episode.

This series may have a lot of flaws, but then this is still a good one to watch. Hey, they featured MewGulf and another couple so why not give it a try, right? If this is given a second season (which for me is still 50-50), I hope they distributed the story to their other couples too. I seen more scene of the couples in their official MV for their soundtrack rather than in the series itself.

New to the BL World? This one is good way to start!

This is the Thai Y Series that dominated most of the countries during the quarantine.

2gether: The Series is about a Chic Boy named Tine finds ways to get rid of his effeminate suitor, Green. His friends decided to get him a fake boyfriend to get Green away, and they've chosen Sarawat, the campus heartthrob.

With its unusual storyline, it can already convince you to open its story. And as you continue to watch, you'll find yourself immersed in the story and in the feelings of the characters. And when you reach the end, you'll definitely crave for more (Those who finished watching this know what I am saying. They deserve a better ending. haha).

So, why watch it as a starter?
First, the story. Comparing to the other series I've watched, 2gether has whole different attack on the usual BL stories. It's very light, and doesn't have too much drama scenes. If you want to want a BL Series but don't want lots of drama, this one is for you.

Second the actors. Honestly saying, the actors portrayed the roles perfectly. The actors they've selected for the roles fits in them resulting in their acting which goes naturally. This is as I said, has a whole different attack on the usual BL series because even if it doesn't have much intimate scenes, it still hits the heart of their viewers.

Third, the soundtrack. I am a fan of series with lively Soundtracks so this series already hits my first point. Aside from that, their use of the songs of the Thai Band SCRUB'B fits in every scene. The fame of this series also raised the fame of the band. But in my personal opinion, their songs are really great. It expresses emotions and the right feels. Even if it's not used in the series, the songs of the band are for good keeps in your playlists.

Lastly, appropriate for 'almost all' audiences. Due to its minimal intimate scenes, and overall storyline, it can be said that this series can be viewed by audiences 13+. Of course, with open mind and understanding that this story is focused on the blooming relationship of two male lead characters. And personal opinion, I think this is the time for more series like this. Representation in all forms of media should be made, for Equality.

Negative Points? There are some:
* The storyline for the other characters in not develop properly, either developed too fast, or too slow. (But we'll never know, I believe there's a 2nd season coming! Pray with me! Hahaha.)
* The support actors in their series should be given more lines or actions in the development of the relationship of the main actors. I mean, there's more than them, they can do it better.

Overall, this is a good one to watch. I would highly recommend it to everyone. Still not convinced, look at their Twitter statistics on how they dominated the world on Friday nights with their hashtags. Hahaha.
