2gether A Série (2020)

Faltou química

A série começa bem, o primeiro encontro entre os protagonistas tem uma fala que faz você pensar que vai ser um drama fofo e romântico com bastante interação entre os personagens.
Esqueça isso. Até metade do drama, nós acompanhamos o Tyne a tentar perceber seus sentimentos e resolver sua confusão interna de se sentir atraído por outro homem, já que até então ele só havia namorado meninas. Até aí ok! Ao mesmo tempo descobrimos que o Sarawatt apaixonou-se pelo Tyne a 1ª vista em um único encontro ocorrido há mais de 1 ano e que procurava por ele durante todo esse tempo. A história parece linda. Mas depois que eles resolvem seus conflitos internos e medos e resolvem ficar juntos, o que nós vemos é um casal de namorados que mal se encosta (não, eu não estou falando de pegação). Não há abraços, mãos dadas, carinho, beijos. São muitas falas onde os 2 personagens estão completamente apaixonados um pelo outro, mas nao há linguagem corporal que corrobore isso. O que nós vemos, é que escalaram 2 atores hetero que visivelmente não estavam confortáveis em interpretar uma casal gay.

My review is a personal opinion on the drama. This is not meant to be a review that sways anyone. If you are unsure about watching the drama, don't look to reviews to help you make that decision as we all have our own personal likes and preferences.


How do you completely ruin a drama that started off strong?

Answer:
By giving us characters that had more chemistry when they were "fake dating" than when they were truly dating. By using women as plot devices to create drama and jealousy. By giving us a couple that doesn't communicate and understands that there will be times when their relationship will be tested, but that they can overcome that. By dedicating more time on the development of the side stories (Mil's crush on Tine, the fights that had little to do with the couple, Wat's Alphaness)

Lack of real intimacy between a couple that is supposed to be "in love"...

I have stated before and I will stated it again (especially since I am an ACE) I don't care for the kisses or the sex , but these two characters behave more like brothers than a couple. Depicting a couple in love doesn't mean having them do sexual things. It can be shown through different forms such as, both couples cooking together and talking about their day, doing something that creates a mood but doesn't mean they jump each other's bones. Comforting one another when one is feeling down (which reminds me, Sarawat not comforting Tine and actually turning his back on him and going to sleep, came across as a man who is tried of the relationship they are in. That was so weird). Instead, we have Sarawat just "patting" Tine on the head. I get it different cultures have different forms of expression when it comes to love, but that patting on the head is akin to an adult infantilizing another adult or it comes across as condescending "oh there there." It is bizarre how these two had more of a couple chemistry when they were fake dating than when they got together. What an amazing feat! [sarc]

And I will repeat this again....the fact that we have had a rinse and repeat story line the minute that Tine and Sarawat got together (Mil chasing Tine, Wat now with Pam) is lazy script.

This drama had a lazy script, had characters that de-evolved instead of evolving (Tine taking on more female characteristics "ukeness", Wat becoming some spineless idiot by not putting Pan in her place right way) The story was choppy due to editing in many episodes and it just didn't flow well.

I really liked the first five episodes, I thought the story was promising and while it did have some flaws specially in the editing, the drama just got worse. It's a shame really cause it could have been so nice.

Music was great though...and Gunsmile is always a great comedic character (saving grace in most episodes LOL)
