Story 9.0/10
This story is about Tine, a pretty boy, who asks Sarawat, a popular musician at the school, to pretend to be his boyfriend to fend off Green, Tine's stalker. The concept of this story is so cute and I found the way they executed it interesting. The story had just the right amount of comedy and romance in it, and the story also developed smoothly. In a lot of BL dramas, it feels as if the couple goes from 0-100 overnight, but this story develops at the right pace, and builds an emotional connection between the characters rather than just a physical connection.

Acting/Cast 9.5/10
Tine and Sarawat's actors did such a good job as the leads. They acted out this story flawlessly in a way that you were not even able to tell it was acting. Instead of the overacting I often see in BL's, Tine and Sarawat's actors used small actions and quirks to get their points across. With just a small shift in their expression, you can tell the emotion they were trying to get across. The way they acted felt realistic and allows the viewer to really get lost in the story. The supporting actors also did a really good job in 2gether. The supporting actors added a lot of interest and depth to the story even though they did not have their own side stories which showed how well they preformed without us having a lot of background on them.

Music 10/10
The music in 2gether was one of my favorite aspects in the show. I often skip through the music portions in dramas, but in 2gether the songs that were chosen fit the situation so well. Instead of the music being the main focus in the scenes, it felt like it added onto the scene instead making it more enjoyable overall. The audio of the music was also very good and very easy to understand and follow.

Re-watch Value 7/10 - last bit of the show was a little disappointing.
Overall 9/10

Story 8.0/10
This story is about Third's struggles hiding his feelings from his womanizer best friend, Khai. I loved the concept of this story so much, it was so angsty! I don't see this concept played out very well in dramas because the best friend barely concerns his feelings so there never is much angst, but in this drama, the writer's made Third act like a real person who is afraid of losing their best friend. I think anyone afraid of their feelings ruining a friendship would act the way Third does. The realistic aspect of the story is what has made it one of my favorite dramas.

Acting/Cast 10/10
I loved the cast in this drama! I think I loved it this much because of how amazing all of the actors were. Gun and Off were so expressive in the simplest ways which made it so enjoyable. Throughout the series, Gun's character kept his feelings at bay so he was unable to really express his heart, but Gun was such an amazing actor that I could see the pain that Third felt in his eyes and through subtle changes in behavior. Also, I HATED Khai in the beginning which tells you the actor is amazing. If they are able to act well enough to make you hate them, then they really are talented. Then, he made me fall in love with him in the span of a few episodes all through the emotions and actions he expressed. The supporting characters also all did an amazing job, they were 8/10 for me! I just felt like we didn't get much of them to really make a decision on whether they were amazing or not.

Music 7/10

Re-watch Value 8.0/10
I would re-watch this drama only to focus on the side stories more. By the end, when I noticed the side couple coming together I realized I'd been so focused on the main couple to the point that I barely noticed moments between the side couples, so I hope to re-watch and change that soon because I LOVED the side couple in the series.

Story 9.0/10
This story is about two awkward neighbors that hate each other. They are forced to move in together after a fire breaks out in Park Kyu Tae's apartment and the two keep getting caught in compromising positions by others. It is such a funny and well done story. The story was done so well and felt so real that I was getting second hand embarrassment and cringing every second.

Acting/Cast 9.0/10
The actors were so cute! Park Kyu Tae and Sung Ji Jae characters were so hilarious together to the point to the point where I have no idea how the actors got through the serious scenes without laughing every five seconds. The actors did such a good job portraying the two awkward neighbors. They portrayed the characters feelings so subtly through things like small shifts in facial expressions that felt real. I loved Kim Min Ah's character too because she brought such a fun perspective and my favorite scenes happened thanks to her like when she walked in on Tae in Jae's lap. I was living through her throughout the entire story.

Music 8.0/10
This drama doesn't really focus on the music much, but the music that is chosen fits the scenes well. All of the music that was chosen would add to the scenes and make them so much funnier. My favorite use of music was in the preview of the shower scene when they used romantic mysterious music.

Re-watch Value 10/10
I've already re-watched this series three times. It's so funny and never gets old to the point that I could re-watch it back to back.

Overall 9.0/10

Story 8.0/10
This story starts with Korn and Intouch, a couple that made a promise to find each other in the next life before they were torn apart due to homophobia. About thirty years later, they are re-incarnated as Pharm and Dean. I found the concept of this story very interesting and I felt like the writers/producer executed it well. It touched on the issue of homophobia and how it can affect people which I enjoyed because I have not seen many series that discuss this. This story also touched on the affect of mental illness on individuals. Overall, I enjoyed the way it discussed very important themes and how well the story was written. The only issue I had with the story is that it felt a little bit scattered. We would get random scenes that did not tie in with one another at all like the scene where Korn's brother finds Intouch and him talking and smiles to himself. I thought we were getting the POV of Intouch and Korn so how were we able to see this from his brother's POV. This also happened with Intouch's friend where we saw it from his POV which also did not make sense.

Acting/Cast 7.5/10
I liked the cast of this show, and I saw the cast better themselves as the show progressed making it more enjoyable. I felt like Earth and Nine did an amazing job in their scenes, and they were always tugging on my heart strings. However, many of the other scenes in the beginning felt a little awkward to me, but by the end it got much better!

Music 6.5/10
I don't think the soundtrack in UWMA is very significant in developing the plot and I only noticed it a few times: I found it nice during flashback scenes, but that is the only time I have really enjoyed the soundtrack. Other times, the soundtrack felt wrong. For example, in moments where the couples are laying in bed together and upbeat music plays, I felt like the soundtrack threw off the mood a bit for me.

Re-watch Value 6.0/10
I personally have only re-watched the scenes between Team and Win as well as the first episode because those were my favorite parts of the series. Other than that, there were not enough good scenes for me to want to re-watch the series.

Overall 7.0/10
