Wasn't there a similar plot in LBC between Tin & Can? Like he could kiss him or whatever for buying him things LOL

I'm surprised that you don't perceive the subtle intimacy that Win & Bright show us. Watch part 4 of ep 4:

and go to 7:08. You will see how Sarawat caresses the neck of Tine after putting the earphone into his ear.
That's just one example.
When it comes to Western gay couples I always talk about Alec and Magnus (they are the best, outstanding chemistry on and off screen, they just pull it off like it's nothing - so I completely agree with you regarding those two), but a gay man once told me they had ZERO chemistry in his opinion and were not at all believable as a gay couple LOL. I think at the end of the day (even as a (screen)writer) it's about what kind of emotions (and the portrayal of those) speak to us. I'm a novel writer myself and I think day and night about what to write to please the people. What I learned is that it's not really a question about "good" or "bad" writing, it's about what people enjoy.
Edit: I thought about your mentioned couples. Both were rather bold in portraying their emotions, lust, sensuality. So I understand why 2gether doesn't speak to you.

What kind of BL series do you think are good?

If Win breaks character the script is at fault, not the actor. I think the acting is the biggest strength of this series.

I have never seen that people were sooo not interested in the side couples LOL. Poor Drake and Frank ... But seriously, Sarawat's brother would have been a nice addition to the cast, and the chemistry with Tine was good. But why giving him a love interest? Poor mother. She wants a daughter-in-law so badly and both sons are gay ... LOL

I think Win is the best and if this series is a success it's mostly because of him. While Bright is great in emotional scenes (and I prefer Sarawat over Tine as a character), I feel like in Win's presence the acting of the others gets better. His friends are acting great, the Green&Win scenes are always gold, even Frank (Sarawat's brother) was acting better and more lively in the scenes with Win. The scenes with the girl (Pear?) didn't feel awkward at all even though the dialogue was rather lame. Or the scene when he saw Sarawat naked which again was rather awkward - Win saved it!

I'm also confused about why they used those two. And there is even a third couple! Jesus! Who needs that? It doesn't seem that their storyline will be something to look forward either. Just your typical recycled BL storyline.

I think they did a nice job with introducing Sarawat's brother. He and Tine had some funny dialogues and scenes together that were important for the main storyline (Tine flirting with the girl and the brother being in the way). But there was no need to give him a love interest. It's just silly. On a side note: I feel like Win's energy is contagious. Frank's acting was the best when he was with him.

I think Tine's reaction is rather realistic. I had some moments especially in Ep 4 where I asked myself if I (in Tine's place) would believe Sarawat is flirting with me LOL. He does it in such a bold way and it always looks like he is teasing Tine. We as viewers KNOW he really is in love with Tine, but I cannot blame Tine for not getting it.

I think both Win and Bright are doing a great job. Win is delivering in every scene and is never standing around so awkwardly like many other BL actors. Bright seems to be better in emotional scenes, but I wonder if he could play a funny guy like Tine.
"It's the chemistry two friends can have" - honestly, that's my cup of tea. I think two lovers should be friends before everything else. They should argue, be mad at each other, be shy, making mistakes, feeling guilty, care for each other - in many other BLs they are just staring awkwardly in each others eyes with slow motion kisses and people are going crazy because of the "chemistry". The sensuality is so exaggerated. Btw: When it comes to romantic scenes 2gether is pretty creative.

Bright and Win are great in every scene. Those two guys are on another level with their charisma, their acting, their chemistry. But now the script is holding them back (which was to be expected) and I have zero interest in the new couple. Still an exciting series, though.

I'm not a fan of two (!!!) side couples, but what annoyes me the most, that it is Sarawat's brother. How likely is it, that both brothers are gay? I loved this show for all the girls and Tine's friends who are obviously not into guys because it makes everything more realistic and fun, but now this show is becoming the next 2Moons (or LoveSick or Make It Right or how they are called). Everyone and his dog is gay.

No hate for Drake & Frank, but those boys are your typical "BL boys". And the storyline they got seems to be typical too. How they are standing around all stiff or cool, delivering those slow dialogues without much expression etc. It also seems like Sarawat's brother felt in love at first sight. Ugh. Not a fan :( They should have concentrated on Sarawat&Tine, but I guess, the more couples, the better, so there is something for everyone. It seems they had not much trust in the success of this series to begin with.

I feel like this series is becoming slowly your typical thai BL. Only Win & Bright with their charisma and acting make it special. Sarawat appeared to be very shy, sensitive, introvert etc. Now he is showing his possessive side and I finally understand why the novel is so popular in the first place. The second couple doesn't seem to fit in the story at all and the mother and the brother appeared out of nowhere. Not to mention that there is a love interest for the brother too, so everyone is gay like in 2Moons.

We have seen that Green knows everything about Tine. It would be a miracle if he doesn't know about Tine hitting on a girl and Sarawat's friends saying to the fan club that the hitting was just a joke. It seems that Tine completely gave up on his original plan and that makes not much sense to me.

I'm just not a fan of this concept. It makes everyone look so superficial ... If one or two girls are different, isn't changing much at the end of the day :(

The feeling I get from watching Bright and Win is something I never experienced before. It feels fresh and real and it's very exciting. Seeing the other couples I remember how different those two really are. Nothing against DrakexFrank, but when I saw them I immediately thought "Well, now we are in a typical thai BL again". LOL I also think two couples would have been enough. No need for three.

I don't mind the girl, but the storyline is getting a bit messy. Tine wanted Sarawat as his fake boyfriend - and now he is flirting with the girl? Am I missing something? Is he done with the plan "I need a fake boyfriend"? He also said, Sarawat's friends saved his ass (because Sarawat's fan club went crazy) by saying the flirting was just a joke. So now ... what's the plan again?

Is this really a thing in Thai (or Asian in general) society? The whole "he is so hot OMG"!!!! I lately read a Korean webtoon and it was sooo annoying. Everyone in the story was commenting on how hot someone is. And they even have fan clubs? In Sarawat's case it's very exaggerated (having wrist and head bands with #sarawat's wifes on it), but the guy is pretty charismatic and mysterious with an unusual appearance, he plays guitar etc. So I'm buying it somehow. It's done for comedy too, I guess. But Frank? Everyone gushing over him how hot he is? Really?!?! No offense to the actor, but ... seriously?!?! Tine saying he is even hotter ... Jesus ... We get it: everyone and his dog are hot.
