I’m new to BL shows and I found this show by looking up what cast members of SOTUS are doing now. Therefore I followed Gun (Prem in SOTUS, Boss in 2Gether). The show was already on episode 12 when I started but I did watch episode 13 on the day it was released.
I have very shallow reasons for loving this show as much as I do. Overall I have rated 7 for various reasons but the rewatch value is 10 because I honestly could watch Bright forever.
I liked the chemistry, the (not enough) kisses, the music (never heard of Scrubb before but I liked it) and the angst.
I had a problem with the following:
The way Green was treated - yes he was a plot device and a pain in the ass, but there was no need to be so mean to him, especially when Tine then went and stalked Sarawat and Man stalked Type. Also, trying to drug Green? How is that acceptable?
What happened to the kisses - they became an actual couple and suddenly no kissing - not even at the reconciliation scene at the end - we got a high five instead? Were the socially distancing at that point in filming due to Covid? If so, understandable, but there was other touching. Also, lack of sex once they moved into together - poor old Sarawat was still begging for a kiss on the cheek even then!
Mil and Phukong - kid, he’s just not that into you, give it a rest okay?
Females - hardly any girls in this show and then along comes Pam to put a spanner in the works and become the villain. It was a poor attempt. Also my 80 year old gran is called Pam so I found the name a bit fuddy duddy!
The whole Pam thing - these last couple of episodes were really poor. Could’ve made so much better drama with just a couple of changes like maybe Sarawat doesn’t see that Tine has seen him hugging Pam and then sees Tine leaving with Mil. Sarawat then thinks Tine has left him for Mil. In fact, I think I might have to fanfic that if someone hasn’t already...
So the highlights are Bright, Bright, Bright.... and the music. I’m also loving the fan fiction this show has generated which has way better endings than the actual show.
Still, roll on the five new episodes they just announced. I’m crossing my fingers for kissing and more scenes with Bright without his top on.
