The acting and chemistry is definitely the highlight but since it's only 2 episodes, I think it's a little too…
I liked ITSAY, but what I don't like is people's necessity to compare almost every Thai BL that's come out after to it. I appreciated ITSAY as a somewhat realistic, LGBTQ+ coming of age story, but not as a "BL per se". It didn't really have all the things we love and appreciate about BL (the fluffy romance, fantastical happenstances, etc.). I thought it was a great series, but I actually don't want the BLs I watch to be like that. lol I dunno how alone I am in that, but things like Your Name Engraved Herein and ITSAY are definitely interesting love stories among boys, but BL? I dunno.
Aoki and Hashimoto as besties are both adorable and funny. I'm also loving Aoki's silly shyness, but insistence on confessing. The music is really good too. I've been listening to the songs on repeat. It fits the series so well. Everything about this episode captured what 初恋/hatsukoi is and they showed it so, so well.
I love how on every idol's page there's always so many comments that read, "He looks like (insert other idol's name here)." lol Talk about typecast. Anyway, who he *actually* looks like is Song Yaxuan. LMAO
I wonder if they can manage the transition between friends and boyfriends. The buddy chemistry is superb, but…
That stare into each others' eyes on the bed seemed like a good sneak peak into what's to come. And for 2gether (and only 2gether), we've managed to see exactly how far high production quality, a pandemic, and a uniquely handsome ML can take a BL. Truly remarkable.
Seriously? Body shaming Nanon and Drake? So ridiculous and disturbing. You are stupid and superficial. Nanon is…
1. Handsome lead actors (namely Bright for being unique in his handsomeness) 2. The pandemic 3. The fact that no other good BLs were airing at the time (ITSAY and Cherry Magic came later that year).
These are the reasons I think 2gether did so well. I didn't categorically hate the show, fine, but I felt the same way I felt about Oxygen by the end of it: "What is this?" "Why do so many like this?" "Did I miss something?"
Like you probably do as well, I think what's most remarkable is how much people don't even realize/admit how much they forgive for a pretty face. lol Even in real life!

I think I commented on it saying something to the effect that it made me *feel* a little gross. Not for some grand socially 'problematic' reason, but just because I was taken off guard in a way I don't like to be taken off guard..through heterosexuality (even if only in appearance) and fantasy. Admittedly, I didn't read the tags, I just knew "gay" and "Ohm", so I dived right in. I'd have been more ok with the situation if it weren't the obnoxious public 'exposing' of their relationship. I didn't need the stupid bf and all the fights.
