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

LOL no I was happy to reply. I always worry about spoiling things even when it’s requested. I appreciate getting spoilers too. Sometimes they determine whether I will want to watch a drama or not. I don’t like sad endings.

Since you asked, I'll answer: they don't get together and yes it is an open ending that would make it easy to pick up the story in a Season 2.

Of these dramas I've seen only Love O2O. It's often commented that the male lead's saintly ability to know all things, make only correct decisions, and always win gets to be a little much. In potentially dramatic situations that involve him there's no suspense because you know he will always prevail. And it's a bit extra how all of the other characters defer to him so slavishly. (If I remember right, the female lead addresses him as "Lord"? This, just as I was getting used to so many female leads addressing their boyfriends as "Senior" haha.)

Still, I think many of the dramatic setups are rewarding, like the dinner event where the online competitors meet in person for the first time. By this point we know that they're a nasty bunch. We as viewers are aware of what surprises are in store and it's fun to watch them unfold. In this series the baddies all get what's coming to them.

Since I'm into BL, I also loved the BL side couple. In typical Mainland fashion their relationship is only hinted at, but to make up for it there is wall-to-wall innuendo that is quite hilarious as all of the other characters joke about what's happening while the guys themselves seem oblivious.

Of the rest of the series in your article I think Gank Your Heart sounds the most interesting. Given some of the positive comments about it here as well, I am going to add it to my "Plan to Watch" list.

I like your insights. You make a great point about Deun not realizing that Frong was flirting with him, and that's because Deun just hasn't learned how those things work yet.

It will be hard for Bohn to get him to open up, but just like with Ram and King, when he finally does Bohn will be rewarded with a very loyal boyfriend.

The actor who plays Mek is Chinese and doesn't speak fluent Thai so his voice is dubbed.

I don't know if he's sick. Maybe he's just a skinny guy. :)

Win's shining career will be the one greatest thing that 2gether has brought to the world. He might not get an award for his work in this series but his amazing natural talent combined with his sparkling personality will guarantee him lots of acting jobs in the future.

Well, when a popular product proves defective it's the perfect time to let its users know that there are other products that will make them happy.

Plus My Engineer will have another couple of episodes left after 2gether has sputtered to an end, allowing disappointed 2gether fans to rediscover joyful BL.

I've never really liked the Type character. The dinner scene confirmed why he's a shady guy. Plus the guy who's his boss -- the one who took such delight in picking on Man -- is a creep who's hitting on the intern.

If I was an intern and my co-workers acted like that toward my dinner guest I'd let my internship come to its natural end, get them to write me a recommendation, then find my real job elsewhere.

Starting out, I loved it and would rewatch the early episodes. I told my friends to watch too. But now I watch because it's like driving past someone who drove their big, flashy, expensive car off the road.

It's very popular and is probably #1, but I guarantee that GMMTV has not failed to notice the gigantically negative reaction to this week's episode. Who knows what kind of work the producer, director, and screen writer will be able to get in the future. The director in particular will now probably be known as the guy who drove a great series into the ditch. What a shame.

I hope they will recast him. It would be awkward but better than making the character vanish after the beautiful way that he and Boss became a couple.

This party ran out of snacks and the hosts are about to break up.

Head over to My Engineer's page. Whole different vibe.

This is his year. What a champ.
