It has nothing to do with whether or not there was sex or kissing - in fact it's getting tiresome that people…
Love is more than physical attraction. The editing doesn't focus on the little moments of hand-holding or anything like that (i.e. sitcom) along with not oversexualizing scenes. I don't have a problem with this. I mean, there is more than just 1 love language. It seems like their love language is quality time together, like how when they get reunited in Still 2gether, they just listen to music and talk.
Though, to be fair, we do have the Sarawat boob obsession.
I think it's down to personal preference, like what you said.
Okay I'm a tad bit late to this but here's my take: (FYI I'm going to try my best to see both sides) People refer…
In my opinion, the reason many people say this is because of the cinematography, editing, and direction. In many BL shows, the angles and editing are very sexualized. And, to your point, 2gether doesn't have a lot of kiss scenes and zero R-rated scenes. If you watch the begging again, when Sarawat emails Tine, the scene isn't played to be like sexual tension or anything. If anything it's used for laughs or to put an obstacle in Tine's way. It really feels like a sitcom more than a drama.
I also think that the series doesn't show the internal debate Tine has about his sexuality really explicitly. We see him like a girl and then gradually like Sarawat. Before the confession scene, we don't see Tine clearly say anything about liking Sarawat. He just is thinking 'I like Sarawat, ok.'
This is what really stood out when I watched it. I think it gives 2gether a unique charm to it. The show doesn't try to push this over sexual or drama-filled narrative. It instead focuses on outside obstacles then things like that. It doesn't fall into the same cues other BLs fall into. It's why 2gether is in my top 5. It's sad people interpret the show's sitcom editing and direction for 'straightness'.
I could write more, but this is what I could pull out in thin air.
I remember being confused when everyone started going crazy over Manner of Death, and Max and Tul’s return. Now I’ve seen the Together with Me trilogy and it hits different
