Just My Personal Opinion — Neither Negative nor Positive, Please Respect It
“2gether: The Series” (2020) quickly became one of the most popular BL dramas, reaching audiences far beyond Thailand and sparking a global wave of attention for the genre. While I can understand why it became such a phenomenon, for me it was more cute than unforgettable: a light series that made me smile, but not quite as special as many describe it.
The story starts from a fun rom-com premise: Tine asks Sarawat to pretend to be his boyfriend in order to shake off a persistent admirer. From there, the fake relationship develops into something that is supposed to feel more real. It’s an entertaining setup, but one that doesn’t really add much new to the genre.
Technically, the series is nicely packaged: the directing is clean, the university setting feels believable, and the pacing is steady. The soundtrack is probably one of its strongest points — especially the song Kan Goo, which became iconic and perfectly matched the lighthearted tone of the show.
What didn’t work for me, however, was the heart of the series: the chemistry between the leads. Bright and Win both have strong charisma individually, but together I didn’t feel the intensity or emotional pull I was hoping for. Some of their interactions came across as a bit forced or too playful, making it hard for me to get fully invested in their romance.
That said, 2gether still manages to entertain. It made me smile on several occasions and gave me some fun, easy-going moments. But for me, it’s not “the series of the century.” It’s more of a light guilty pleasure than a truly memorable drama.
In conclusion, “2gether: The Series” is a pleasant and fun watch, but not quite deserving of the massive hype surrounding it. If you’re looking for something light, easy, and smile-inducing, it definitely works. But if you’re expecting an intense love story or a groundbreaking BL, it may leave you wanting more.
