You should, if only because that high-five at the end is something that will live on in BL history.

Maybe it will become a metaphor for the really stupid and hilarious things that happen in future series: "Wow, that finale was almost as bad as the 2gether high-five!"

On the downside, once you see it you can't un-see it. :)

They need to make the argument about porn, because they figure that nobody in their right mind will defend a position that BLs need to include graphic sex.

I like how you phrase it: demonizing casual intimacy. The 2gether cult is so hellbent on defending the series that they won't give an inch on that, claiming that it's perfectly normal for a relationship to lack it.

Um, when a production is in rehearsal or actively filming there are a lot of script changes done on the spot. It's a script, not holy scripture. The director is god, so he can make any changes he wants to on the spot.

I'd love to see a BTS of them filming the scene where Sarawat and Tine do the high-five, so we can know for sure whose idea it was to stage the most laughable moment that this series will be remembered for.

... but wanting them to be more physically affectionate isn't the same as saying we want "sex and heated kisses." How about holding hands? Or a light kiss on the lips? My god, when they were outside looking up at the stars they didn't even put their arms around one another. That's what we were looking for.

So please stop claiming that the people criticizing the show are doing it because they want hot and heavy sex aka porn. That's a cheap and lazy debate tactic -- after all, who's going to argue in favor of porn in a BL series?

The answer is: NOBODY.

So who do you imagine yourself debating with when you say the people disappointed by 2gether want "every single BL drama" to have "sex or heated kisses"? When you insist on always bringing explicit sex into the argument it doesn't shut down your opponent, it just makes you look incapable of defending your position intelligently.

I swear there was one interview where they said there were four or five intimate scenes that were filmed all at the same time.

I love the two music cues they use for the "happy/funny" scenes. They set the mood perfectly.

LOL you went there ... somebody had to, though.

Yes! This made me feel better about Duen too. He has his phobias and hangups, but he's really trying, and Bohn is special to him. The character has evolved believably.

I just hope that Bohn will get at least one kiss from him before the series ends. :)

I'm glad it wasn't only me! I laughed so much.

After Ting Ting said she would cut out her ovaries and the guy next to her said, "I'm not stopping you, but you have to wait for the bus to stop first." OMG I died. And I got the impression that the laughter from the rest of the cast was genuine, not acting. They all look like they get along and are having a lot of fun.

Kiss Me Again really was awful except for PeteKao. In fact I think the PeteKao side couple in that show is one of the best "enemies to lovers" storylines that I've ever seen, in a BL or elsewhere.

The rest of the couples were terrible, and it's sad to say that some great talent was wasted by being cast for those roles.

The "Bromance" tag has been approved for the show.

If you feel that 2gether was more of a bromance than a BL, please consider raising the relevancy of the tag by voting. :)

I'm actually glad that you felt comfortable posting this opinion. I realize that the many negative comments might make big supporters of the show feel unwelcome. I know if it was a series that I personally loved and everybody else seemed to hate it, I'd feel a little let down by my fellow BL fans.

Cheers.

After the scene on the abandoned bus and the two boys looking up at the stars afterward, where they didn't hold hands or even put an arm around each other, I started with my own "trolling us" theory. I realized how many scenes *looked* like they'd culminate in a hug or a kiss, or a hand being held, but then didn't. (Cue Bright to do another head pat....)

It seemed so intentional. There was almost a meanness to it.

You're right ... and given the crew that perpetrated Season 1, you can be sure they'd reach for the box of old tropes when cobbling together a Season 2.

- Forced separation for some amount of time ...
- Love triangle
- Misunderstandings re: love triangle
- One of the guys (probably Tine) thinking he's holding the other one back, and deciding that he should give him his freedom

It's exhausting just thinking about how aggravating that series would be as well haha.

So, there's that fast-forward in time toward the end and we've arrived several months later. The music club is recruiting new members and tells the recruits all about Tine and Sarawat. The music club president gets the two of them to come forward, and Sarawat says he wants to teach Tine the guitar in front of the group.

Can somebody tell me, what the living hell was up with that "teasing" from Sarawat? Did the writers think that would be an endearing final image? For me it went on too long and became very awkward.

I submitted the "bromance" tag earlier today. I hope they'll approve it.

Haha I think that was me.

I won't miss the series at all, and I don 't care if there will be a Season 2. I'm curious what a Season 2 would even be about. They can't do a jealousy storyline like in 'Dark Blue Kiss' because they played that card already in Season 1.

On the other hand we're not talking about the most original writers in the world. Maybe Pam will probably show up claiming to be pregnant by Sarawat.

LMAO ... if I've been fighting with my bf and his response to getting back '2gether' is a high five, we'll be right back to fighting again haha

I don't care about fan service, but the lack of physical affection between the leads is unrealistic. I didn't need it to keep me "satisfied" or to hold my attention. I was merely observing that the m/m relationship depicted here is handled so cautiously by the director and actors that it's never convincing.

This was the series I had looked forward to the most for 2020. I sent the trailers to friends to try to get them to watch and couldn't wait for it to air. I rewatched the first few episodes several times.

Now I'm disappointed. It really *could* have been one of the greatest BL series ever. But it lost its nerve and went for bromance instead. Clearly there's a fan base for that -- you are an example. I had different expectations, I guess.

Yikes
