Good point. I guess the big question will be whether Kim has always had feelings for Way and suppressed them. Kim doesn’t have a girlfriend (I suspect that nothing intimate ever really happened between him and the teacher) and before the body swap he was very devoted. The poster for the series seems to signal something too. Anyway, I’m definitely more optimistic than I was before now. :)

We need a companion piece on violin/cello/piano-playing characters who don't even try to make it look like they're really playing.

'Meteor Garden' comes to mind immediately, but extra points get deducted if the character is supposed to be a world-class instrumentalist like in 'I Hear You'.

I'm guessing that the additional statement was due to blowback on the teacher-student affair.

Very interesting perspective! And one I would never have been able to consider on my own. Much appreciated.

Exactly!

Yes! I think you are 100% right. Both will be fantastic pairings and now I'm so glad I didn't listen to everybody who dismissed this as non-BL. This might be one of the cleverest ones ever.

I knew there'd be a BL payoff if I stuck with this! That final shot in this week's episode blew me away!

I had faith that the writers would somehow find a clever way to make "the" couple happen, but I was still doubtful. I'm less doubtful now. If it unfolds the way I'm hoping, this could become one of the most clever BL dramas ever. (And have one of the hottest pairings in Thai BL!)

Gosh I can't tell you how happy I am that somebody agrees with me. On Twitter it's all 'Pearl 24x7'. I was wondering if we'd watched the same series haha.

That's a good insight about wanting to avoid conflict. He might feel compelled to always please people and so he works extra hard to make everyone happy.

I was glad he addressed the 'Babe' thing too.

I love an "enemies to lovers" trope as much as anybody, but wow Katana's got to be the meanest, rudest, cruelest ML I've ever seen in a drama.

The FL has her moments of flaring up to confront him over his behavior but she always seems to end up backing down. I'm four episodes in and I hope there will be a scene where they finally have it out for real.

The guy is cute but at what cost? He's a complete and utter ass!

I imagine I will be the only commenter who isn't bonkers for Pearl.

It seems to me her constant presence is preventing the two guys from getting to know each other in the ways that matter. A new relationship needs that kind of 1:1 time. It's like she is always finding another way to be part of what is happening between Gav and Cai, and if you ask me her happy personality seems to be turned up just a little too high.

Since the time her character was introduced in the series she's been a constant presence, and now with another character being brought in to possibly stir the pot I'm wondering if we'll see even more group chats crowding out the Gav-Cai chats.

None of this might have been an issue if the story had given the boys enough time to establish a decent bond before parading out the exes who only fill Cai with more doubt and anxiety. I feel pretty bad for Cai.

Yes, I saw there is now another ex on the scene. If Terrence thinks that he and Gav still have something going on, this will get interesting.

I think the context of any other series Gav would be perceived as a player. He flirts relentlessly (probably because that's a go-to strategy for him) but he needs to focus more on building a real connection to Cai.

When somebody flirts too much it starts to look like a defense mechanism that ironically is used to keep people at a distance.

Yes, once South Korea gets into the game everybody else better step UP their game.

The fact that this short series had so much impact proves that applying the traditional elements of Kdrama to BL will revolutionize BL

Why so many complaints about her acting? Her character in "Seducer" is so different from the one in "Liar" that at first I didn't even recognize her.

Any bets on the role of the as-yet unseen character 'London'? Will he also refer to Gav as 'Babe' and insist they're just friends, or will he maybe be Gav's homophobic best friend?

I sense he will be a disrupter of some sort, like Pearl. Once the guys meet in person they'll have to keep some dramatic tension going.

The girl from the past insinuates herself into the picture and Tine starts to feel threatened. There's this really sad scene where the two of them are in bed together, side by side and not even close to touching, and Sarawat just rolls over with his back to Tine and goes to sleep while Tine sits listening to music being sad. I can't remember entirely but I think he's crying.

Then like on the next day Tine sees the girl and Sarawat hugging. He leaves the scene and has a Big Cry, almost like a breakdown. Sarawat knows he's been caught but doesn't chase after Tine to explain, he just freezes there with the girl and watches after him with those sunken eyes of his.

Tine moves out of their apartment and Sawarat makes no effort to talk to him about what happened. The only time they speak is when Sawarat drops by where Tine is living and asks for the guitar back.

Tone-deaf about relationships to the bitter end, Sarawat hopes that Tine will show up at a music contest where he (Sawarat) will be performing and by doing so show that he still loves him. (No apologies from Sarawat about what happened with the girl, mind you, although there is a corny little speech that he makes on stage.)

This is what sets up their reconciliation, and while Scrub performs a song they celebrate their reunion with the now-infamous high-five. Roll the credits.

The director and screenwriter for this garbage should never be allowed to touch a BL again.

I wouldn't have minded an unrealistic portrayal of sexuality, but we got was no portrayal of sexuality except maybe "I want to touch your boobs." It looked like the guys had no physical desire for one another or even liked being touched.

GMMTV needs to get out of the BL business. They're killing it with fear of intimacy and homophobic actors.

Based on the films and series on GagaOOlala, there is much more BL coming out of South Korea than I thought. And almost every one of them that I've watched on there shows a level of physical intimacy that I've never seen in a Thai BL.

I submitted the "Bromance" tag after so many people on here agreed that this is a bromance. One of the mods proceeded to tell me (a gay guy) that I am wrong: 2gether is a legitimate representation of an LGBT relationship.

I honestly thought that tags on here are meant to be voted on by the community at large and not decided on by the mods. If I'd submitted a stupid one like "cooking show" then I'd understand why she confronted me, but instead it came off as a power trip.

This series is more about bromance than it is about a gay relationship. I know what a gay relationship is because I'm in one and so are a lot of my friends lol.

After avoiding this drama ever since it ended I finally went back to rewatch the final episode yesterday. I think the first (and only other) time I watched it, I was so anxious from wondering about Yu Xi Gu's fate that I didn't pay close attention.

Well, as much as I despise what that final episode did to the series and to the HIStory franchise, I have to say that in that final episode Wayne Song delivered a truly outstanding performance. It's a shame that this got buried in all the outcry over the terrible ending, and I feel bad personally that I waited so long to give it another chance.
