I guess all the hate coming from this show is from long time BL fans, and all the love for this show is for first…
I've been watching BL's since the first BL Thai Lakorn came out...and I have no idea why everyone is hating on 2Gether so much! Actually, there is a lot of hate going towards many of the new BL's coming out...which, as a long-time BL stan I find really sad.
I think that sometimes the productions flop a little bit on the plot progression, but at the same time I really don't think that the production subtracts from how light-hearted and fun the actual plots are.
I adore Win, he is just...ugh, so perfect it makes my heart hurt. I'll support him wherever he goes!
Anyway, I just think it's really sad to see so much negativity surrounding the shows. They've been a great source of escapism for me over the last few years, and I love the way that the male characters are actually given scripts that portray them as people with emotions and vulnerability. No matter how bad the script is, I will always respect a BL if it subverts toxic masculinity. In that regard I think that the majority of BL's should be praised endlessly. In some ways, yes, they are still very misogynistic...but in comparison to Western media? Jeez, hand me a Thai BL any day.
Wow. All I see here in the comments are complaints. Gonna excuse myself out of here. Looks like I’m the only…
Ryan, I'm the same! I think it's really sad seeing so many complaints...personally I really like seeing Type and Tharn in a different contexts. Season 2 totally builds on season 1, and there are so many lovely scenes between Type and Tharn....I am especially excited about seeing the progression of how they are going to mature in their relationship together.
Gulf is just an amazing actor and they both have such great chemistry on screen. In love with TharnType all over again!!!
Has any Thai BL writer ever had sex for the first time? There are so many conflicting emotions. Obviously as a…
Literally!!!! That's why I really liked how 2gether did not even try to replicate the sex scenes from the novel...GMM would not have been able to actual explore the scene properly (nevermind that the scene in and of itself is kind of rapey), and I think that that exact issue appears in Tonhon Chonlatee.
I mean come on; if I was Chon, and Ton shoves me down onto the bed (after spouting homophobic shit for the last however much time) and then proceeds to rip his shirt off, I would be screaming and running in the other direction.
Most normal people would probably want clarification on what the status of their relationship was, or essentially communicate that they were on the same page regarding what the interaction meant? Like, jeez.
I mean we get one kissing scene and then they have full on sex? No way bro. That is just unrealistic and disconcerting concerning the character development. I can fully appreciate scenes like that, WHERE THEY ARE APPROPRIATE AND MAKE SENSE, but when they are just whiplash scenes out of context of the plot progression I am just annoyed.
I love Khaotung. He is such an amazing actor...so I've given the series 10 stars for that reason alone.
I really don't want to say that I am disappointed in the series...I genuinely do really want to say that I think it is amazing and really well done! In some ways, it is. However, the progression of the script has literally given me whiplash....and I have no idea what to think of Tonhon's character progression....Pod is such a great actor, but he deserves a better script. The same goes for Khaotung, I think he has amazing potential and does an insanely good job with what he has been given here.
The one liners and side-jokes are okay. But I really hope to see some thorough character development to actually deal with the issues presented here. The biggest downside to the whole show is the toxic relationship between Ton and Chon....it's just. Euck, disturbs me and I really want to see actual development of the plot and characters!
