It's temporary ;)

I'm honestly kind of sad this is over. It gave me a lot of laughs and joy during a pretty stressful time, as we all know quarantine hasn't been fun. As much as Bohn and Duen drove me nuts they were cute to the end. I'm kind of thinking now that Duen has officially declared their relationship via FB (I don't care what anyone says that was damn cute), I'm wondering if next season they'll bring in drama with the parents, mainly the dad. I can't imagine him being very supportive, at least in the beginning. RamKing were the superior couple we all wanted! They gave so much in this series, I honestly was not expecting their storyline (which was fantastic) and the level of effort they put into their characters. They knocked it out of the park. Their last scenes together were really fantastic and completely primed me for them in season two. Now I can't wait to see what's next for them (does anyone know if there are translations of the novel yet?). I'm really hoping that RamKing are the main couple next season, though I wouldn't mind TharaFrong also taking center stage.

I think they purposefully set us up for TharaFrong to have more development next season, which works. MekBoss were also really great, I know people were worried they were going to ruin their relationship because Ryan isn't coming back, but I think they'll likely just cast someone else for Mek. I honestly really appreciate the work they put into this series, it wasn't perfect but it was a really fun watch. And I stand by that I do think they attempted to address some serious topics, even if for the most part this was meant to be a comedic show. If we're being honest, I'm kind of shocked that they've done much better with this than some of the other series people (myself included) were anticipating that have come out this year. Maybe it's because I wasn't expecting as much from this but I was left pleasantly surprised and eager for a continuation.

As funny and silly as this show it's, it's heartwarming, touching and surprisingly, very human. It's the reason I fell in love with and was hooked by the first Ossan's Love and I'm so glad they continued that with this series. Though the ending wasn't how I expected it to turn out, or even how I was initially hoping it would turn out, I think it was the perfect ending. The right person finally got their happy ending haha it's like an alternate version to what happened last time and I love that. It makes even more sense now that this was a completely different storyline with different characters (other than Haru, but how could we not have Haru???). Would highly recommend people actually give this a chance, and leave any preconceptions from the last series behind. Just enjoy it for what it is, a whole new hilariously wholesome story.

I agree. It's already been made clear that his character is pretty innocent, and I think he is showing that he does like Bohn, he's just not ready for the level of intimacy Bohn is pushing for. Not everyone is ready to kiss and and jump in all hot and heavy right away, especially if they've never had a relationship before (and that's ok). I think we've accelerated a lot of what happens in a relationship in today's world, so people sometimes feel pressured that they have to do things. I think it's nice to sometimes show a different side, where one person is putting on the brakes and really considering their comfort level and establishing a good bond before moving to more physical aspects of their relationship. I just wish their level of communication was up to par lol

Ugh, Bohn and Duen! Why?! It's obvious they both lack a lot of emotional maturity. Duen's character is supposed to be super innocent (how he can't drink, his mom picking his outfit for the club (lmao), not knowing anything about love/romance, etc) and Bohn...is just immature period. I really wish Bohn were more understanding because I think it's great to show that some people aren't ready to jump into the physical right away in a relationship. I guess it's pretty realistic for a young guy to be impatient, but if Bohn truly cares about Duen he'll respect his space and wait until he's ready. He's not the worst character ever, but he's definitely not my favorite. I think they're the couple who have had the least amount of character development, which bums me out because all the other couples have been so great.

With how developmentally backward Bohn and Duen are they're like the baby couple to me lol they're literally like what relationships are like in high school. I really wish they'd stop contriving drama between them though, it's so unnecessary. But can we all just agree that Poy is the most adorable person in all of creation? ALL the other couples are where it's at. I love them all, even Mek/Boss now but especially Thara/Frong and the myth, the legend, Ram/King. Ram and King and THE couple for me right now. They make up for all the drama we got through with Bohn/Duen (that I really hope resolves itself by the end, please don't make us wade through this in season 2). What does it say that all the other couples have had bike scenes aside from Bohn/Duen haha. Maybe that's what they need to get along. Something else I noticed that I thought was interesting to mention is the "shipper" scenes. I think it's interesting that they're highlighting that aspect of BL culture, where the smallest, most non-existent things are escalated into a fictional fantasy (to a ridiculous extent) on the part of the "shipper". I don't think it's a coincidence that they're showing how ridiculous it is. So many aspects of this series are giving me BL parody, so I'm still convinced that in some ways they're addressing some of the more problematic issues in the genre (the top/bottom debate was another one). Anyway, that was just something I was thinking while watching. Excited for next week.

Oh man, what a mess. What I hated the most about this series was how easily some of the worst characters got off. I mean seriously?! Nook getting that ending after everything she did was complete B.S. Especially after she literally watched how selfless Akk was towards someone who actually deserved to win. The best thing about this series was the friendships between the guys, particularly Akk and Tone/Pong and Kin, and if we're honest they were the most deserving of winning at the end. The plot-line is pretty bland, basically, you're just watching a bunch of kids compete in an internship. There isn't really that much character development to make it worth it, and the overexaggerated scenarios make are pretty ridiculous. I spent most of the series wanting to scream because the worst characters coasted pretty much the whole series, while deserving characters kept getting slammed for the most minor infractions, even while they worked their hardest. Maybe they were just trying to real-world realism lol

Yes, they both end up together at the end, and yes there are quite a few kiss scenes (also at the end, I think they both get together in the last two episodes). It's a happy ending.

DEAD.

I don't know. I feel like this has happened with a lot of series this year. They start out really promising, or even great, and then they start to deteriorate toward the end. I was left feeling like 2gether was unfinished, or maybe it just felt like Tine and Sarawat's relationship/feelings were underdeveloped. Somewhere around the middle this totally fell flat and never recovered. It felt like they never took off after that initial "crush" moment, to develop into something deeper. Which is such a bummer considering how much chemistry they had in the beginning. I'm a little disappointed because I loved the series so much when it first started. Not to say that it was bad, not at all, but it definitely wasn't what I was hoping it would be. I guess managing expectations should be a thing now lol it started off strong so I expected a lot.

This show is honestly insane lol

This show is pretty crazy but it's entertaining. I enjoyed that it was set very differently, and it shows the culture in a more rural area of Thailand. I freaking loved the dad, he was probably my favorite character, along with Ko's wacky friends. I'll admit that I never could really get into Ko and Teng's romance, as not a lot of it made sense to me, particularly in regards to Teng's real feelings but I'll leave it at that. I did really like Sek and Tak though (mainly just Sek) but their ending scene was probably my favorite and their chemistry was pretty good. Overall enjoyable, but if you're looking for a more serious, plot-based BL this is not going to be for you. It's mainly silly and over the top, but still fun to watch.

There's a real love triangle and a pretend love triangle. The real love triangle is between Ko who likes Teng who likes Nuan (the girl who becomes Teng's girlfriend). The pretend love triangle is between Sek, Ko's brother, who likes (though pretends he doesn't) Tak who becomes Ko's boyfriend to make Teng jealous. Pretty complicated writing it out, but it makes more sense (er...kind of) when you watch the whole story-line.

I guess there's also kind of a mini love triangle between Sek and this girl who he likes in the beginning who's taking advantage of him, and Tak who likes Sek and tries to get Sek away from her because he knows she doesn't really like him and is just using him. Whew lol. Basically Tak and Sek like each other but they don't really admit it until the very end, so there's a lot of roundabout plot-lines to get there.

Never thought of that! That is cute haha

Lol wow. The fact that you're so defensive tells me everything I need to know. I don't think I said anything about you being 'racist' but congratulations on coming to that conclusion on your own, not everyone's that perceptive.

I'm so starting to get that this series, in many ways, is a complete parody of BL lol I was starting to get that impression during the "fight scene" (the fake smoke was a huge clue lmao) but I got that feeling even more in this episode. Which of course just makes me love the series all the more. I was a bit thrown at the top/bottom argument thrown in this episode at first...until we got to them sitting in a cafe having a much needed 'hallelujah moment' conversation that deconstructs this whole idea of top/bottom and who should be, shouldn't be, what they should look like, etc. I've even encountered this so many times in comments here it's ridiculous and I'm glad that they tried to tackle this topic. Particularly considering their demographic tends to fall into those tropes pretty hard. I'm really hoping (and I'm starting to suspect) that we're going to get a great resolution to this, hopefully with Bohn saying he doesn't care what "positions" they are because it doesn't matter *crossing fingers*. I also highly doubt Duen did anything to Bohn, I'm thinking he fell or something while drunk and that's why he's sore lol RamKing is perfect as always and I'm already super interested in the TharaFrong development. Still have no idea how they're going to make MekBoss work but I sincerely feel for Mek.

No problem at all, don't worry. I know some people get curious, and even care which character holds which role it's just never been something I've focused on. But definitely it gives their characters more dimension I think because we've only ever seen Frong how he is with Duen, so it'll be interesting once he and Thara's story starts developing :)

I'm glad you have someone to do that for you! Yeah definitely staying away from public transport is for the best right now. I live in AZ, and the valley is pretty vast so staying outside of the congestion of the city is pretty easy fortunately. I have friends in NY city and LA and I know it's been doubly hard on them.

I'm doing good. Though definitely starting to get a little stir crazy lol I've been working from home and have pretty much stayed home for nearly two months now, so yeah, it's setting in. I also am in my finals weeks (getting my MA) so doubly ready to tear my hair out. Luckily I live with my sister so there's lots of wine and RuPaul or post-apocalyptic movie parties to keep us sane (yes, we're the type of people who watch pandemic movies during a pandemic). We literally just went to stock up on some groceries the other day and got like six bottles of wine and the cashier said..."getting the essentials I see..." lmao we don't hoard toilet paper we hoard wine. I hope you and your loved ones are also making the most of things. It's a strange reality we're living right now.

Um?!?! That word you used to describe Duen's eye-smile is a racist slur that is derogatory and offensive.

From what I understood Bohn was teasing Duen when he was late. That smirk after he turned around had me in stitches because he was milking the f' out of Duen thinking he was actually mad. I also died at the fact that he literally played himself by trying to get Duen to admit they were together in front of the kid flirting with him. Bohn in many ways is like a big kid, or an excitable puppy. I mentioned in my 'synopsis' lol of the episode above, that I appreciate that they showed the communication that happened after the fact and didn't draw it out into this huge drama like a lot of series do. They fought over something stupid, and talked it out pretty immediately afterwards which was great.

I also actually like Duen's friends being suspicious of Bohn and giving him a hard time. From their perspective he's put Duen through a lot, without much reciprocated effort. Even though obviously the scenarios are meant to be ridiculous I think it's pretty accurate when you have a close group of friends being introduced to a new love interest. I know my friends always give the new guy a grilling lol it's teasing but we also really do care about each other and obviously want to make sure the guy is being serious. I also agree with the comment earlier that the fight scene was comedy gold lol even better was the betting happening before it hahaha. It's all a bunch of silliness so I'm just embracing the lighthearted aspects of the series full force. I think this is a great time for a series like this since it's mainly just mental marshmallow fluff in the best ways. I hope you're doing well!
