The acting was intense in the whole episode. For a romantic comedy this is surprisingly deep and sad. There are so many little things that show us how much Sarawat cares for Tine and thinks about him - and Tine doesn't get it, and even if he would get it, at the moment it looks like he would refuse him which makes it even more sad. Somehow it's heart wrenching but I guess that's just me? LOL

The episode felt a bit rushed. Must be the first BL where I feel they should have taken their time. Normally, BL series are extremely slooooooow.

Rapey? That thought didn't cross my mind. It wouldn't fit Sarawat's character.

This series is so good in building up tension between the main leads and showing all the emotions, that I'm not even mad (and I HATE fake kissing).

What interview was that? I only know about the interview where they had to talk about "first impression of each other" and he didn't even greet Win and just walked away. He explained that he was rather shy and not ready to play such a role. I never heard him say he was "disgusted" unless the translation changed that.

Really? That's good news. I thought he would be in denial for several episodes LOL

I will admit it: I’m excited for the kiss and will most likely replay it several times ;P

That lizard scene was too much ... I dropped it after that. "Are you trying to violate me?" Yeah, hm. And then the boy putting his hands over his chests like he wants to protect his not existent boobs. Sigh. Talking about 2gether: I'm sure we will not see a similar series for years. This is just a one time thing. They will continue making those typical BL series with lots of fan service because apparently it's not much effort and people enjoy it. It's the same with the Japanese anime industry. Once in a while you get a masterpiece, the rest is stupid fan service for horny teenage boys and girls.
Btw: Even though 2gether feels very different and until now it was much better than what we normally get, it uses fan service too and some questionable jokes. I'm not a fan of those boob jokes. But maybe it's a translation issue or a cultural thing? The last time I checked men had no boobs, and they aren't talking about them either. I digress, but in such moments I feel like it's very obvious that women are writing those stories.

Wasn't there a similar plot in LBC between Tin & Can? Like he could kiss him or whatever for buying him things LOL

I'm surprised that you don't perceive the subtle intimacy that Win & Bright show us. Watch part 4 of ep 4:

and go to 7:08. You will see how Sarawat caresses the neck of Tine after putting the earphone into his ear.
That's just one example.
When it comes to Western gay couples I always talk about Alec and Magnus (they are the best, outstanding chemistry on and off screen, they just pull it off like it's nothing - so I completely agree with you regarding those two), but a gay man once told me they had ZERO chemistry in his opinion and were not at all believable as a gay couple LOL. I think at the end of the day (even as a (screen)writer) it's about what kind of emotions (and the portrayal of those) speak to us. I'm a novel writer myself and I think day and night about what to write to please the people. What I learned is that it's not really a question about "good" or "bad" writing, it's about what people enjoy.
Edit: I thought about your mentioned couples. Both were rather bold in portraying their emotions, lust, sensuality. So I understand why 2gether doesn't speak to you.

What kind of BL series do you think are good?

If Win breaks character the script is at fault, not the actor. I think the acting is the biggest strength of this series.

I have never seen that people were sooo not interested in the side couples LOL. Poor Drake and Frank ... But seriously, Sarawat's brother would have been a nice addition to the cast, and the chemistry with Tine was good. But why giving him a love interest? Poor mother. She wants a daughter-in-law so badly and both sons are gay ... LOL

I think Win is the best and if this series is a success it's mostly because of him. While Bright is great in emotional scenes (and I prefer Sarawat over Tine as a character), I feel like in Win's presence the acting of the others gets better. His friends are acting great, the Green&Win scenes are always gold, even Frank (Sarawat's brother) was acting better and more lively in the scenes with Win. The scenes with the girl (Pear?) didn't feel awkward at all even though the dialogue was rather lame. Or the scene when he saw Sarawat naked which again was rather awkward - Win saved it!

I'm also confused about why they used those two. And there is even a third couple! Jesus! Who needs that? It doesn't seem that their storyline will be something to look forward either. Just your typical recycled BL storyline.

I think they did a nice job with introducing Sarawat's brother. He and Tine had some funny dialogues and scenes together that were important for the main storyline (Tine flirting with the girl and the brother being in the way). But there was no need to give him a love interest. It's just silly. On a side note: I feel like Win's energy is contagious. Frank's acting was the best when he was with him.

I think Tine's reaction is rather realistic. I had some moments especially in Ep 4 where I asked myself if I (in Tine's place) would believe Sarawat is flirting with me LOL. He does it in such a bold way and it always looks like he is teasing Tine. We as viewers KNOW he really is in love with Tine, but I cannot blame Tine for not getting it.

I think both Win and Bright are doing a great job. Win is delivering in every scene and is never standing around so awkwardly like many other BL actors. Bright seems to be better in emotional scenes, but I wonder if he could play a funny guy like Tine.
"It's the chemistry two friends can have" - honestly, that's my cup of tea. I think two lovers should be friends before everything else. They should argue, be mad at each other, be shy, making mistakes, feeling guilty, care for each other - in many other BLs they are just staring awkwardly in each others eyes with slow motion kisses and people are going crazy because of the "chemistry". The sensuality is so exaggerated. Btw: When it comes to romantic scenes 2gether is pretty creative.

Bright and Win are great in every scene. Those two guys are on another level with their charisma, their acting, their chemistry. But now the script is holding them back (which was to be expected) and I have zero interest in the new couple. Still an exciting series, though.
