Well, I saw it.
The story itself is not bad, quite original if you ask me. You follow the journey of two love birds who happen to be neighbors. And one of them has a twin.. They are portrayed by YinWar, who I do enjoy seeing again, and I have to say that Yin did an incredible job in portraying two people so differently. I just feel the plot is lacking a few moments with the twins. The whole story is supposed to be circling around Sunday and Arthrit being twin brothers, but except for a few mentions, we don't hear much about Arthrit.I'm not really a fan of the vertical type of content, especially for series, but what I really disliked was the duration of each episode. 2 minutes for most of them and usually 15 seconds of the last episode resume and 15 secs of ending screen. Which brings the episode to 1-1.30 mins at most. They bought all the thai bl typical plot : miscommunication, love triangle, hidden relationship, etc.. and I have to say, for a 40-minute long series, it's a lot. And some episodes weren't even adding to the plot.
The drama is not bad, but it's more of a thing to watch if you are bored and want to watch something.

Just watch 2gether...
What's even the point of this movie ? It's the series resumed with ten minutes more of content and nothing else. If you did NOT watch 2gether, then feel free to look at it, because you won't be missing anything from the series.If you watched the series though, don't bother yourself with the one hour, just go to the end, and watch the missing scenes.

You either love it from the bottom of your heart or hate it so much
This is the most classic trope you'll ever see in BL ; The traditional "we are faking to be dating, and we end up really dating each other". GMMTV, who usually go far in their plot, really did not go far for this one, but it does hold a special place in my heart.Since the release, I have watched the series 7 times (yeah really), and I'll keep watching, because their relationship is goal. The acting is good, but the chemistry is off the roof. I kinda disliked the miscommunication trope, but it's not holding on for too long, thankfully.
I think for a drama of its time, it really was THE drama, with a relationship that does not for once feel like the biggest unhealthy relationship you've ever seen. They definitely do fight, but in a normal way. Now, if you are coming for football, forget about it. It does not hold an important place in the plot AT ALL. But the music does.
I really liked Mike and TopTap side couple, but I do understand the negative comments about the overall series. Yes, it sometimes feels not accomplished, like they are skimming the story at some point. That's why you HAVE TO watch the second season, which corrects this exact problem.

You really have to stick through it !!
I admit, the first episode does feel like a bad trip, and it kinda continues at the beginning of the second one. You don't understand what's going on at first, but once you pass the first two episodes, the series really is a gem.The storyline is not so innovative, but it is well executed, making you hang on to find out what's going on. I have a bit of a complaint about the acting, but I'd say at some point you get used to it, because the actors work great together. I like the fact that those characters are not dumb, like it happens a lot in BLs.
I wish we'd seen more about Pun/Thee, like a bit of their life aftermath, but I understand it's adapted from a book that might not have any further info about them.
Anyway, the first episode can make you reluctant, but as someone who watched hundreds of boys love, it is really worth the watch !

"How can I make this about me" probably said Keen.
The idea of the series itself is nice. Having a romance story about boxing, which is not really explored in BLs, is creative and it really adds to the value of this BL. It was executed nicely. I know nothing about boxing, but I think that, contrary to some other series, the boxing part does not get lost behind the relationship. They really did find a good balance between the boxing, the love relationship and the plot.Now, I'm going to be honest. To me, Keen (the main character) is very insufferable, making everything about him every time. Thun has a problem that he does not feel comfortable sharing, and Keen is like "Well, if you don't share it, it means you don't trust me, and we shouldn't be together.". Thun is not okay with what Keen does, he shares it and gets absolutely dismissed like what he says does not matter. I think people don't talk enough about the domestic violence that Keen did. Because yeah, slapping your boyfriend is NOT ok, and it should not be romantized. I like the other characters, especially the side couple and Ait, who, even if he did wrong, had at least a reason to do what he did. But Keen is just disrespectful to whoever is not ok with him, and I hate him for that.
Another problem that made it hard for me to watch is the scenes being extremely long. I don't know if it's only a feeling of mine, but it seems like the director did not want to cut, and sometimes you have three full minutes on just them looking at each other. I understand the need to want to show everything, but sometimes it was soooo long.
Overall, I didn't hate the drama, because the story was good and very innovative. The actors are good and the cinematic construction also. I just didn't love it either, because they made the whole world revolve around Keen.
