Brights acting is really impressive. I wasn’t that captivated by him after seeing ep 1, but in ep 2 he was unbelievable great.

You can see the detailed statistics when you click on the diagram icon. Such a low rating cannot be the result of such a statistic.

This is why we can’t have nice things is an old saying and not something Taylor came up with :)
The people aren’t at fault. It’s a technical issue.

The acting ability is more than decent ...

It’s a technical problem and MDL doesn’t seem to care. The show gets neglected on this site. Popularity rating, user rating etc. - the calculations are wrong.

I compared Bright to New, because New seemed uncomfortable doing a gay role (especially with Tay). But in Bright‘s case it doesn’t show at all.

I enjoy BL series even though I criticize them a lot. I'm just not the biggest fan of slow pace, cheesy and rather nonsensical dialogues and those long stares and awkward touches that we see often in such series. That's why if a fresh and funny series like 2gether comes along I get overly excited. About Sotus: I don't remember it that well, to be honest, but back then I was impressed. I felt like watching something smart. The romance was too slow for me and a bit too cheesy and I was no fan of Kongpob (such a flawless character who is too good to be true), but that's just me. Objectively speaking I fought this was a very well made series - it doesn't matter BL or not. The high praise was well deserved, it just wasn't for me. I don't know if 2gether can live up to those standards. I feel like it's a bit too silly to be enjoyed by a big audience. The plot is indeed far-fetched and rather stupid. But hopefully I'm wrong.

That scene where they talked about the fake boyfriend and when Bright wanted to know what's wrong with a guy liking Tine etc. - It was a good dialogue. Apparently Bright liked him for a long time. It was really well acted and pretty emotional.

I even rewatched both episodes. Normally I have my finger on my keyboard ready to press the arrow key for the 5-second-skip on YouTube lol ...

I'm a big Tay&New fan. They had the potential to rule the BL kingdom. I was soooo excited. But that script was horrible. Tay was doing his best (he is a good actor), but New had the same dull expression throughout the series. TERRIBLE. The kisses (when they showed them!) were so cringy that I didn't even rewatch them once. I cannot say anything good about the series. I think the director was at fault. I'm now completely in love with 2gether and wanted to know who directed it, turns out it's the same guy who did Kiss Me Again. No wonder I felt in love with Kao&Pete back then. The humor was the best thing about this couple. In DBK they killed the humor and everything else. It became a soap opera . I wasn't ready for that and I wasn't expecting it either. The personalities of the characters changed (especially Kao was unrecognizable!), the mood changed, the dynamics changed. They changed everything I loved about the couple. The "new" characters just didn't appeal to me.

Hopefully! The series is not only funny, it's also capable of delivering some well done emotional moments (in Ep2). I was never the biggest fan of Sotus, but objectively speaking Sotus is the only BL series that I ever considered being "good". The plot was better and more serious than in 2gether. Still, I enjoy 2gether much more. At the end of the day it depends on what you prefer. I was skeptical after ep1, but now I have high hopes. Ep2 didn't disappoint.

The popularity rating for this series on MDL is #26987
LOL
What's going on here? With so many comments and traffic it should be at least around 500 ...
I wonder if they will fix it ...
1) Wrong popularity rating
2) Wrong calculated user rating
3) Wrong number of user ratings
4) No showing up on main page in Top Airing Shows despite having 2700 viewers
That's some bad luck, really ...

Watch it. This is the best thing ever. There is something wrong with the rating. It's a romantic comedy. Most likely with a Happy End.

@Liz: This is the best BL I have ever seen in my life and I'm not exaggerating. The story may be nothing special, but the execution is brilliant. The acting, the production, the humor! The rewatch value is high. This is sooo entertaining and fun.

No, there is a technical issue. Look at the detailed statistics. And it says only two people rated it. There is something wrong for sure ... The rating dropped in 24h from 8,5 to 6.8. That's impossible. I don't know how to contact MDL. I tried, but well, we will see ... They should fix this.

I get some homophobic vibes from him, to be honest. But I don't care. I find it hilarious, because it doesn't show in the series at all (he is doing a much better job than New in Dark Blue Kiss). I watched an interview today (YT is recommending me this stuff constantly LOL). They were asked how close they are and Bright said 100 immediately. Win didn't respond and Bright then: "I feel one-sided close to you" LOL. They don't provide fan service, but it's not like they don't touch each other. Especially Bright doesn't seem to have an issue touching Win. I feel it's important to him that people don't perceive him as gay, that's all. As long as he does a good acting job, I really don't mind. Nobody is perfect. That almost-kiss in ep2 was pretty good, though.
I wonder why I write so much about him. Tine/Win is my favorite. They are both very interesting and I love the series. Hopefully the quality stays the same until the end.
Here the link to the interview if you're interested:

Click on the little diagram icon. Over 80% of people rated it higher or equal 7. It's impossible that this has a rating of 6.8. There is another problem: With the number of viewers the series should be listed in the Top Airing Shows on the main page. But it isn't. That's the reason why I almost missed the series. I contacted MDL because of that, but most likely they won't respond. Maybe an admin can look into it? Hopefully nobody is turned off by the rather low rating ...

A technical error? There is something wrong with the rating count too. Obviously more than two users rated this series. Looking at the statistics it should be around 8.5 like it was before ....

Rating 6,8? Guys, come on!

When was BL ever clever? The companies go for what sells the most. The novels those series are based on are most of the time smutty trash. The story in this one is nothing new, but at least the execution is much better than in other series. I’m a sucker for this kind of humor, but if you don’t like the funny scenes and the fast pace, the the series may not have much to offer.
