The steamy scene was pretty good, even if totally out of place. Hope it means we're getting away from the "likes me, likes me not" plot and not deeper in.
Kuea is slipping. And not in the entertaining "too emotional to control himself" way, but in the fatalistic "plot must go on even if no character development" way.
Is Kaojao really that chubby? Or is it just another case of good-looking actor being cast to play unattractive character without any modifications? I haven't even thought of it until they started talking about his insecurities.
Don't expect much of a new scenes, nor different points of view on already existing ones. It was more of a "recap" of the show. Not badly done, but nothing special.
To someone starting with 2gether, I would recommend watching the tv show instead, provided you have enough time. It flows better and has bigger emotional impact (the movie basically just runs through the biggest plot points of the show with a narrator describing what happened, so pacing isn't the best).
For someone coming from the series, just watch the ending scene (cca 10-15 minutes). It's okay if you'd like to rewatch the show but don't have enough time, though it leaves out most of the side couples' scenes. Personally, the movie made me want to rewatch the series more.
To put it simply, I don't really understand why it was made in the first place. It isn't a good alternative to the show imo, solely because of the run-time differences. It also doesn't add anything new (except the ending). I expected it to be more of a Sarawat's retelling of tv show, but there's very little of his pov and the movie is still focused more on Tine. It serves fine for a nostalgia purposes, but that's it.
Wouldn’t you be jealous if you find your significant other’s pic as some dude’s phone wallpaper. Bank passively…
They look like pretty genuine friends to me. But besides that, we already know Bank is interested in Anda.
And while I can see why Ryo would feel jealous seeing Anda's photo set as Bank's wallpaper, it doesn't give him the right to treat neither Anda nor Bank the way he did.
But my original comment wasn't about the jealousy by itself. It was about not showing enough of Ryo's thought-process to understand where the jealousy comes from and why it's so strong. My personal opinion is, they tried to mimmick a certain scene from manga/anime where Ryo gets jealous of Anda. But that particular scene had different circumstances, setting, and even outcome. To me, the show's Ryo just came off as a possessive a-hole. And since he didn't explain anything to Anda, I think that's what they want Anda as a character to believe, too.
Is this worth watching? Why are people rating it so low? Is it because its bad or because snowflaked people get…
Mostly people not liking the stalker-ish factor. It's also pretty cringy and not subtle at all, but overall fun. Sometimes even surprisingly heartwarming. I would say watch the first part. If you can get past that, you will be fine imo :)
Poor Bank, my heart breaks for him. I wish they wouldn't make him a villainous rival of the ML. But considering the character was specifically made for this version of LS, I'm not holding my breath. At least we might see him more often now. I still think he deserves better than Anda, though.
Screw P'Ryo and his possessive tendencies. It irks me how they take something out of the manga/anime and insert it somwhere into the show without any context. I was starting to feel sympathetic towards this version of Ryouma after they finally told us more about him, but then they had to go and ruin it with the cliche conflict.
Also, no one is as bad at cooking as they made Anda look. I'm personally horrible at it, and still would do way better job than whatever he attempted.
As a character, Anda is weird. Sometimes they give him serious and mature lines, other times they make him almost clinically childish. I hope we will get more background on his character soon, because right now, I just can't connect to him. Him teasing (?) P'Ryo about his feelings only makes it worse.
There were few times when I was lost in the episode. For example, the first scene with Anda's parents was really weird and unnecessary. Everyone seems to know Anda and P'Ryo went to the beach together, but only Bank is a suspect. Anda somehow taught Bank how to write a song (when? why? how?). Ryo's manager knows everything about Ryo's relationship with Anda and doesn't seem to mind. I feel like I skipped an episode full of explanations and character backstories. But that might be just me being super forgetful or the show not explaining things clearly.
Overall, this might have been a good episode, if it weren't for the new "conflict". Also it still doesn't explain much of a character's behaviour (did better with Ryo, though). Finally, the whole plot and characters dance between comedic relief and preachy seriousness too often without proper transitions, so neither of them really worked for me. We'll see where it goes.
It was pretty good, but I don't know if I want to see a third season.
Last season's progress got basically obliterated in first 10 minutes and the main plot got back on track just near the end. The episodic side-stories are probably what makes this interesting to me, but I feel like even there, they're losing steam.
Also, even though it's funny, it's still lowkey uncomfortable (don't want to say homophobic because that might be too strong of a word, but it's around there). Which is why the main pairing isn't really satisfying to me (even though Kikuchi as a character is perfect bf material).
Still, as a comedy, it's funny for as long as it works.
Yi and Diao are getting more red-flaggy each episode. Like Diao was literally shaking when Yi confronted him about the teaching! I get they have a communication problem, but this is going way overboard. I don't vibe with that.
Main couple is pretty weird when you think about it, so I'm no longer trying to understand them. Thankfully they are both attractive, apparently into each other and whatever they have going on doesn't feel so stiffling. So I'm still interested in their arc.
But none of them comes even close to Nuer!! Yet again proven to be a perfect husband material. He had less than 20 minutes of screentime in the whole series so far, but somehow he's carrying it for me. Really hope we'll get to see more of him in next episode. His fixation on Kuea is still a mystery, one I hope gets resolved satisfyingly.
For real. There's a saying: "Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good." This is a cute series and pitched…
I mean, I was angry at them for trying to use Theo, too.
Until I learned he knew the whole time who Enchanté is and even bribed Saifa into pretending to be Enchanté.
I really hope the twist was added later on in the production cycle and wasn't planned right from the start, because it makes Theo into a pretty weird person to be honest.

Same. Like Bad Buddy was an okay series, but nothing spectacular. Also it has no impact whatsoever on this show. Maybe some people only watch GMMTV BLs and that's why they feel the need to pit them againgst each other? I'm watching several other stuff alongside this (including a gem that is Gen Y 2), and can confidently say it doesn't make Enchanté any more or less boring than it already is on its own.
Kinda interested to see how many people will call out Theo for being this manipulative (as they do for characters in other series) and how many will defend him.
There wasn't really any new development you would "need" to see as a part of the main series, which I'd expect from a "special" episode.
Honestly, most of it seemed kinda boring to me, but not insultingly so. The ending was pretty good. I would love to see more of Aoey.

They used to put it on captionfy, but not anymore (I would bet it's probably because of copyrights).
As far as I know, they don't have any dedicated website. But maybe try to reach out to them on your own, they seem to be fairly active here on mdl.
Toh as soon as Nuea goes take a shower: "Let me just start throwing hankies around and dance like the crazy person I am."
Until I learned he knew the whole time who Enchanté is and even bribed Saifa into pretending to be Enchanté.

Only two episodes left, but I'm prolly dropping it. Can't see how they could make it better.
