Is it Bright's acting? He just seems so over it constantly, I don't get it. It's as if he's on autopilot and waiting…
I think he doesn't like being in a BL series. Based on a 'Hello Asian' interview I got the sense that he was cast as Sarawat before he realized what the role was.
Does anyone know if the last episode will run for 2hrs? Cuz a lot happened in that trailer siz. I hope they redeemed…
However, although Sarawat says things to reassure Tine, he doesn't change his behavior toward Tine or, for that matter, toward Pam. He still keeps that plain affect as he delivers his lines. He makes the reassurance that he prefers Tine sound like he prefers one restaurant to another. No emotion or empathy in the words.
And when he goes to sleep knowing that Tine is still troubled, he rolls over and turns his back to him. That part killed me the most. What a sterile relationship.
I noticed how Sarawat always has a neutral expression around Tine but smiled a lot when he was with Pam. When he reassures Tine about her I don't think he's even being honest with himself.
Regarding the bullying, I think you mean So Yeong? And I agree that in the end her misdeeds were glossed over…
That's a great point. Eun Byul's two best friends were not the nicest people in the world, nor was Eun Byul herself (of course). Didn't she treat Tae Gwang poorly just because she didn't like the looks of him?
The official channel on YouTube has only 12 episodes and this page says the complete series has 49. Are they uploading them on a staggered basis? I don't want to get hooked and then be unable to finish. Thanks!
It's about an angel who deals with death and wants to become human, so why is it that for me the strangest thing in the series is a teacher who "lectures" by playing a sound recording at the front of the classroom every day -- with no student ever telling their parents and no parents ever complaining.
The success of the series shows how much fans are dedicated and fond of it, quantity can also measure the goodness…
Fridays after May 15 will have The Shipper in 2gether's time slot. It qualifies as a BL, but for all the people who are happy not to see skinship between two guys you might want to skip it. It won't be the same as 2gether's whitewash of m/m interaction.
Even with all the kisses and sex, I still didn't like TharnType because their relationship was toxic and both…
Book adaptations into movies and series frequently change the scenes or include original scenes. They even sometimes change the endings. There is no immutable law that screen adaptations have to follow a book like it's holy scripture.
As for Bright and Win, I don't care one iota about shipping them. Heck, in the context of the series they behave so much like best bros that I can't even picture Sarawat kissing Tine, let alone Bright kissing Win. I think once the virus pandemic settles down and they start doing fan appearances, these will be very different from what we typically see from other series. Bright and Win stand next to each other on stage, probably three feet apart so there's no chance for skinship, and wave at the audience as all the girls scream for them. Whatever floats your boat.
I think it's laughable how so many scenes in 2gether seem to work their way up to a moment where a real couple would put their arms around each other, or cuddle, or embrace, or even kiss (if only with a peck on the lips), and in this series they don't follow through. It comes across as so deliberate that you could wonder if this whole thing is meant as a satire of a BL.
Lots of views doesn't mean quality. It means the series is appealing to a mainstream audience by having Sawarat do things like pat Tine on the head instead of holding him close. Every aspect of this production seems aimed at that, and it has done a great job of it. At the same time, those of us who are disappointed have good reasons for feeling that way.
This drama was the exception to my usual approach when I rewatch one. Instead of dipping into favorite scenes in different episodes, I rewatched from start to finish.
I agree with everything you say in your review. I loved the female lead and how strong she was. For instance, even though the guy she was dealing with is someone she's been obsessed with for years, she wasn't afraid to stick it to him when he was judging her unfairly, and walk away from him and their friendship.
I also liked how her roommate gained such a strong backbone over the course of the series and became her own person in the end.
As for the ML, he wasn't the kind of guy I usually feel drawn to in a drama, but over time he grew on me and I could see exactly what attracted her to him.
His suitemates were so funny and lovable, too, including the guy who you never saw out of bed and the way they all referred to each other by number instead of name. This didn't really "add" anything to the series except a little quirkiness, but I guarantee that I'll never forget it because it was so cute.
SML Syndrome is strong in this one. So much so that it should probably come with a warning label.
Thank you for your review. It brought me happy memories of a favorite series.

Sawarat is playing both sides. He deserves to lose that game.
And when he goes to sleep knowing that Tine is still troubled, he rolls over and turns his back to him. That part killed me the most. What a sterile relationship.
And he never bothered tosimply tell Pam that he's now in a relationship and doesn't want her to be doing or saying those lovey-dovey things anymore.
Next episode... maybe they will actually hold hands. That might be the final shot as the last episode ends.
Now THAT is fantasy fiction! lol
So you're asking us to steal from ourselves.
