Loving this so much! I think the 'Cupid's arrow' moment is one of the cutest things I've ever seen in a BL.
But I have to admit that I'm a little confused by Jin Won climbing into bed with Sang Ha.
Was Jin Won so sleepy that he thought that Sang Ha's apartment was his own (which would explain his irritation over them both having the same lock code)? When they woke up the next morning both of them were surprised.
This and 'Mr Heart' are my favorite BL series running right now -- the ones where I'm most eager to know what will happen next.
This one is setting up the different couple dynamics very well and I like the acting and production values. Some cute guys too. ^_^
The pace is a little slow. With all the extended silences it reminds me of 'Until We Meet Again', and sure enough it's the same director. I'm not going to complain too much, except to say that if it moved a little faster they'd be able to fit more 'story' into the series overall.
What a breath of fresh air after sh*t like 'My Day'. There's nothing like Thai BL. You can complain about the blue shorts and engineering students but I'd much rather watch a series like this than a cynical cash grab like that.
I tend to disagree that he truly liked Kim Hana in A-teen. For me the character was notable for his tendency to manipulate and a general lack of sincerity, despite putting up a charming front.
It's been a while since I saw the series, though, so maybe I should take another look.
Not sure why the ending seems "open" or "bad" to anyone. Mayu is sitting alone on the roof of the school and hears Takuma call her name from behind her. She turns around and breaks into a big grin.
Either Takuma is alive and well or she's hallucinating. The latter would be stupid.
Would it have been better if there'd been a final shot of Takuma standing there? Or would you need to have seen her stand up and run to embrace him?
No, that probably wouldn't satisfy viewers either.
I find that in the world of Asian drama people tend to want the ending spoonfed to them with everything fully depicted on screen. Otherwise it's labeled as "open".
The ending of this drama wasn't open or sad, unless you wanted Takuma dead. Personally I think the filmmakers sought to avoid the sad ending that the movie had without making the happy ending look too much like fan service.
youtube all good comments....here all bad comments...are we watching same drama?
It's not the worst but it's also not the best. Now that we've seen the final episode I think a lot of the negativity has toned down.
My appreciation of the '2gether' franchise went up a lot after I sampled recent atrocities like 'My Day', which is without a doubt one of the worst BL series ever made -- and what's even worse is I bet the people behind it know it's sh*t but don't care because they just want to cash in on the BL fad.
I absolutely racked my brain where I had seen this actress before and then it hit me....she was in "Rookie Historian…
Regarding her 'Rookie Historian' role, I myself didn't make that connection until today. She should choose her next role carefully so that she doesn't get typecast.
Jung Kyung is so icy that it's inexplicable to me as to why two wonderful guys would be so obsessed with her. The flashbacks show that her unpleasant personality isn't a recent development, so I find that I actually want to see a positive side to her character so we can understand what Joon Young and Hyun Ho like about her.
It's what some of us have been saying all along: IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE!
"No mo' bromo!"
Now nobody can argue anymore that this is a bromance. And it didn't require naked sweaty sex, it just needed some believable intimacy of the kind that two 'bros' would never do.
And I bet that even the commenters who always insisted that kissing in BL is 'porn' are pretty damn happy right now.
With the final scene centering around those kisses it seems clear to me that 'Still 2gether' was intended to answer the criticism over '2gether' while also rewarding diehard fans. I really respect GMMTV for that. They didn't flinch and delivered a one-two punch where each punch hit its target.
Another smart thing is that they made sure the kisses happened at the same point in this series as the high-five did in Season One. At first I felt a bit like they'd been trolling us with that, but then I realized it was a great idea. Those kisses will be the lasting memory of this series for many of us, which is 1000x better than having it be another high-five.

I like the 'enemies to lovers' trope most of all.
