My thoughts so far: I was on such a hype train for why r u that I completely neglected 2gether at the beginning. I am actually so glad I got it in my recommended section on youtube and decided to give it a shot. First things first, I thought it was pretty obvious from the first episode that there is some kind of past link between Tine and Wat. Sarawat, a guy who does not give people a time of his day, stops and turn to listen to what Tine wants. It perhaps is not made that obvious, but knowing Wat now, even if some dude called him an asshole I do not think he would give them any attention. Also, a comment such as 'i'm gonna kiss you till you drop comment' would not leave Wat's mouth unless there is something more behind it. I think it was established pretty well from the start the way they portrayed Wat from all the Tine's stalking. That may be the reason I did not think that Sarawat's crush on Tine was rushed or anything. When Tine asked him to be his boyfriend you could see the confusion and contemplation all over his face and the reaction when Tine said it would be fake looked like he had some tiny sliver of unexplainable (at that point) hope and it got crushed. People keep on poking fun at how oblivious and unaware Tine is about all the Wat's advances towards him, and while I think it's hilarious af and I do make those jokes myself, I do not think he is that stupid. I mean, in the beginning he is of course oblivious because of their fake dating agreement and that's why he acts so confused when Wat says all those thing to him when it's just the two of them. However, as they start getting closer and spending more time together you can see something in his eyes everytime Wat flirts with him or acts jealous. I feel like he has gotten accustomed to Wat and started really caring about him, that is why when Wat accuses him of cheating and all of that bullshit, Tine goes out of his way to make it right with Wat. He obviously cares about him and does not want Wat to be mad at him. Since Tine has not pinned over Wat for quite some time (as it seems Wat has done), the way his feelings start developing is natural. You start spending time with someone, become friendly, develop caring feelings towards them and then create a bond. It seems like Tine had some kind of inclination that Wat's flirting is somewhat serious around episode 4 (that's my opinion i am not stating any facts here) but he pushed that aside and tried burying it deep. This might be because that made Tine starting questioning the way Wat makes him feel and I understand how confusing it can become. Which leads to the last scene of episode 5. Tine said all of that shit about pursuing Pear just to get a reaction from Sarawat so he could be sure whether he actually likes him or if it's all just a game. I read a bit of people's reactions to the kiss and some of them were really funny, however, at the same time, it seems at the current climate of the bl, every intimate scene has to make the fangirls lust over it. There needs to be good representations of intimacy but we should not put all the emphasis on make outs and bed scenes (unless they are meaningful). I do not think the kiss was supposed to be romantic. It was supposed to be desperate. Cause that's how Wat feels. Desperate. He probably thought that he made himself very clear with Tine but that convo they had was the last straw. He was drunk, hurt and annoyed. And that kiss felt like all of those things. Wat looked pained through all of it cause he was. Ok, now onto some things that I am not so fond of. I understand that Wat is desperate and he is also very inexperienced in dating, courting and all of that jazz but I just hate how he acts like Tine belongs to him. Cause he does not. They are not dating. Tine knows it and Wat knows it. I understand that he feels like he is so close he can almost feel it but at the same time Tine is still so far away. And that makes him say those things, cause again he is desperate. Still, I do not like all the 'you cannot talk to her, you cannot do that, you are mine' mindset when trying to get someone. Tine is still a person, he does not belong to you Wat. I find it disrespectful but I do understand where it is coming from. Could do without that tho. Bright is such a good actor, it's impressive and everyone can see it. However, Win is doing Tine just right too. Wow, I rambled.
I always find it funny how someone can rate this a 2.5 and write a long bible about a show they don’t even like…
im just gonna put my 2 cents here...do you know the purpose of rating something and reviewing it? criticism exists for a reason. it does not make sense to always only be positive about everything and do not voice your feelings and opinion when you don't like something. i can see a great amount of people getting negatively impacted by this show so having others pointing out those things is not a bad thing at all. it is ok to like the show and express it and it is also ok not to and be vocal about. peace.
is anyone else bothered by the lack of conversation between pharm and dean? the story is relying way too much on them being soulmates. after they met and realized they are drawn to each other they should have taken some time getting to know one another and doing more than eating breakfast, driving and staring while nothing really is spoken. the only proper conversation between them that i can think of is the one in the car. the moments where words are not needed should have come after the viewers were shown them getting closer. i want to see them liking each other not only because they are connected as soulmates but because they actually got to know and love their present selves, if that makes sense.
