Yes, but they really make you wait ... it's in the final moments of the final episode that the two leads are finally together and happy

Shhh! Don't give away the secret! Everybody will want to sign up! :)

My rating started at 9.5 and I recently lowered it to 7. If the series ends with the two guys still stuck in bromance mode it will get a 3.

I had the same thoughts earlier!

I was so ready for a kiss when they were gazing up at the stars. What romantic series would squander such an opportunity?

It had so much potential. My level of interest has faded a lot over the last two or three episodes. In fact I almost forgot that the new one was being released today, and you can be sure I wasn't like that 3 or 4 weeks ago.

The hype, I think, is about the two guys, especially Bright. As a romantic story the series is becoming a bit of a joke. I really hope they save it somehow during the last two episodes.

Good point. For dramatic impact I think Mil is definitely the best choice of all the characters to now have the bracelet, since he's Sarawat's bitter rival for Tine, so maybe they'll make it like he found the bracelet on the ground somewhere and pocketed it.

Honestly, the way their relationship is depicted, I don't feel any concern over them breaking up or not. The series hasn't convinced me that they're actually boyfriends who are in love, so if the relationship ends it won't feel like much of a loss.

"Meow!" Preach, brother!

I get a kick out of how the worlds created by these BL series are populated by all these guys who pair off with each other, one couple after another, but that ain't even close to being real.

A few weeks ago on twitter I saw where someone had mapped out the BL universe created by Mame, the author of TharnType, and holy cow it's like two dozen guys all hooking up or wanting to hook up. If only! lol

"Mr Chic" to "Mr Chick" .... you nailed it! Great catchphrase that sums it up perfectly.

Yes... I can imagine Tine being in a daze over everything that's happened. I think he'd be wary of saying the word "boyfriend" to someone as rough and unpredictable as Mil.

That excited and exuberant version of Sarawat blew me away.... would love to see more of him in that mode.

I know, what happened to the bracelet? They made such a fuss about it and then seemed to just drop the subject.

I figured Meanie Mil had somehow stolen it when he was helping Tine with the dust speck in his eye.

When a guy who's only dated women is suddenly in a relationship with another man, the dynamics can seem confusing. It can feel like having to relearn what it means to be in a relationship and to communicate with your partner. Like, in a culture where the male is expected to be dominant, and that's what you've played at for all of your dating life, how do you adjust to being with someone who can also be dominant?

Tine might also be used to being the pursuer and feel thrown off by the very act of being pursued. That would make him a little uneasy if he thinks his pursuer might also be pursuing someone else.

And if the someone else is the opposite sex, there's that potential feeling of insecurity over the fact that you yourself aren't also a female, so you're not competing on equal turf.

If you boyfriend was lost in the woods, and after searching frantically you finally found him huddled on the ground, wet and injured and cold, would you simply squat down beside him and put a hand on his shoulder while you ask if he's okay?

If you then were able to get him to shelter, away from everyone else, and watch while he viewed a video that you'd made for him months before you'd ever met, where you sing a song by his favorite band in a hope that someday maybe you'd meet him, would you just sit there, apart from him, and not at least hug him close?

If you were outside on a beautiful, clear night, gazing up at the stars with your boyfriend, feeling the wonder of the moment, would you simply stand next to him and not put your arm around him?

If you were sitting next to your boyfriend on the bus and felt tired and decided to take a nap, would you avoid resting your head on his shoulder and instead just lean back in the seat?

If your boyfriend is going to be sleeping next to you in the cabin and it's time for lights out and you're saying goodnight, would you not even kiss him on the forehead? Hug him, maybe?

For me, if I was in any of these situations with my own boyfriend and he avoided contact so studiously, I'd wonder if his feelings had faded and that we might be on the way to splitting up. I'd be concerned.

So, I'm starting to think that what they might be doing in '2gether' is purposely taking all of these common and iconic romantic situations from other movies and shows, where couples *would* show some physical affection toward one another, and teasing us. Maybe it's all just a meta commentary on what people expect from BL or love stories in general ... lure us with a romantic mise-en-scène and then suddenly thwart our expectations at the last second.

Given how much I'd looked forward to this series, and even tried to get my friends who aren't into BL to at least watch the first few episodes because it had such great leads and such a cute story, I'm disappointed. I hope the last two episodes aren't like this one.

(I mean, seriously, when Sarawat and Tine found that abandoned bus and went inside together, I thought they'd finally exchange a little kiss or two. Silly me.)

Sorry but not sorry that I love that Seunghyun now has a chance to go for the gold.

I don't take back any of it. My statement wasn't meant sarcastically.

The series is providing a fantasy scenario for straight females, and that makes its depiction of a gay relationship unrealistic. The lead actor could be Bright or could be anyone, including one of the actors I like.

If by chance '2gether' does start to show Sarawat and Tine doing more than kiss on the cheek (and in a recent interview both Bright and Win say that it will), I'll be interested to see the reaction here.

Regarding the bullying, I think you mean So Yeong?

And I agree that in the end her misdeeds were glossed over something fierce. It's frustrating when dramas like this decide to play the sympathy/rehabilitation card for the villain at the very end. It's a cop-out.

Another series that did this is "My ID is Gangnam Beauty". For 3/4 of the series Soo Ah is a fantastically evil character, so devious and clever, and then they start to introduce all these biographical details to "explain" her mindset. And of course in the end she suddenly sees the light and decides to be good, and all is forgiven.

In both of these dramas it would have been more realistic if the villain had simply moved on to other territory to continue making trouble - in So Yeong's case, transferring to another high school, and for Soo Ah transferring to a different university. It seems more realistic that both characters would want to continue acting on their evil impulses and just find another place to do it.

Seriously! I was blown away.

I haven't seen any comments here asking for "explicit" sex scenes.

For me personally I'd like to see a more realistic portrayal of two college guys in a gay relationship. But I shouldn't forget that BL's fan base is mostly straight women, so the gayness will be filtered through their fantasies about what two men do when they're together: hugging, sleeping side by side in a bed for the first time with clothes on and not touching, occasionally crying, etc.

For me, THAT is the fan service that a series like this provides.

I didn't say he looks uncomfortable in a gay role because of a lack of kisses. Before you put people on blast you should comprehend what they say, "cupcake".
