Still 2gether (2020)

This was GOOD! I'm so happy they made this special. I always thought Bright and Win had good chemistry and it really shined through in this special. The special really outshines the entirety of season 1. There were a lot of complaints that the chemistry fizzled out towards the end of season one, which is true, but I just want to say that shows and movies are not shot in chronological order so the awkwardness that seemed out of place for the storyline may actually have stemmed from them shooting those scenes earlier on before they were completely comfortable with each other. Granted they are actors, but still newbies. I digress.

Mil with the redemption! I really disliked Drake's character in season 1 and I'm so glad that they redeemed him. And I must say WOW Drake looked fantastic. Obviously Frank and Drake have history so their chemistry was on point. I really liked all the couples and it's amazing that they had better scene distribution in these 5 episodes than the entire first season. I really enjoyed the progression of the special and the lack of literally everything that I disliked about the first season. I honestly want to recommend skipping the first season and just watching the special lol.

I am yet to recover

I kind of knew that these 5 episodes were going to leave me wanting more. Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed every single second of still 2gether so much that I wanted it to be 13 episodes instead.

I take my hat off to Metawin(Tine), he killed his role. His acting skills improved so much from the first season, from his pouting scenes, to his crying scenes, to his happy scenes. I was super captivated and impressed by how much of a better actor he became. If I could I would give him a trophy for stealing the show and my heart.

Bright did well as well but I felt his acting was way better in the first season than it was in Still 2gether. Tine looked more in love than Sarawat did which is why I bonded with Tine better.

Then we had our side couples:
Finally!!! Phukong and Mil got 2gether!! I kinda laughed at how Man's and Boss' plan to get them together worked. It almost played out like Tine and Sarawat's love story, super cute.

Man and Type where my second favorite couple on the show, I mean...we even got to see them kiss in the end which sent me flying. I loved their relationship so much, though it was long distance(I'm not gonna lie I thought they weren't going to make it) it didn't feel like it. They stayed in contact with one another, Man was super supportive from the begining and the fact that they trusted each other made me proud.

Then we had P'Dim and Green...oh where do I start with these two. P'Dim, P'Dim, P'Dim...you put my boys(Sarawat and Tine) and the rest of the actors through so much sh*t. All because of a YouTube name...oh what do I do with you. Despite his power to ruin the mood and getting other people involved in his issues I loved that he played a huge role in Sarawat not giving up on Tine. Green also stole my heart here, Iron Lady to the core! I'm not going to lie I kind of wanted him to beat up P'Dim in the last episode (like he did to Tine's friends in 2gether) but P'Dim got lucky. Though they fought throughout most of the episodes, I loved their relationship. Never a dull moment with those two.

Boss and Pear, I was glad that they finally got together. Boss was my 3rd favorite character, a complete goofball and sweetheart. I identified the most with him when it came to approaching Pear and trying to win her over, I do the same thing in front of my crush. I loved those two together and would not change a thing at all about their love story.

Then we had the two amigos:
Fong The Philosopher, he is what I call Tine and Sarawat's number 1 supporter. He had always been on their side from start to end and honestly he deserves an award for bestest friend in the whole wide world. His words of wisdom not only impacted Tine and Sarawat's relationship but my nonexistent one as well...I took his words to heart and can't wait to apply them to my future relationships. He even has a bit of the love story coming on as well, which I support fully.

Ohm, oh what a cutie. The only one who stays single after the last episode, the only one who still had something philosophical to say. I loved him a lot, he brought the humor and was honestly the life of the party in the friendship group.

Still 2gether was such a treat, I thought we were never going to get a proper kiss from Sarawat and Tine but lo and behold did they not only kiss once but TWICE! All in a time span of a minute, they gave us cute, tears, laugher and romance. I really can't complain about this show.

I would watch it over and over again, I just can't believe that there won't be anymore Sarawat and Tine. Hopefully they act in more drama's either together or solo, either way I'll be there to support them.

In still together serials i can see more chemistry between tine & sarawath more than together series ..they show their emotions very well .
In this series I can see a mature relationship between Sarawath & Tine.
Their feelings are very real.They show their feelings very smoothly and we feel them in our heart.😍😭.Although this series doesn't have many kisses, it shows their feelings of love..I think that's why this series is popular among many countries.
I see an improvement in the win's acting skills in this series. Bright and win shows the feelings of love very real.They are real life relationships are similar to serials so that is why i ship brightwin in real life.. they mostly like to be together .. that's what they always say.

I watch together and still together series first as a Bl series. So I got addicted to this series more than any other series ..So when you start watching Bl series for the first time, I recommend this series as the first Bl series you should watch.

Dim is a cockblocker

Dim is so annoying and childish till the very end. Its like his main purpose in the drama is to create chaos and be a cockblocker.

I never felt anything for the Man and Type pairing, their relationship felt forced and awkward.

I loved the main couple Tine and Sarawat, despite the insecurity of Tine's characters that always creates misunderstandings and needs validations of Sarawat's love- really enjoyed the series.

Sarawat is sooo hot.

Btw the hate comments on season 1 and 2 are from people who are so mad that the main leads didn't display an actual sex scene on camera with them naked and started calling it a "Bromance," even though they kiss a million times and sleep on the same bed and are very romantic, sweet and cute. Boys love doesn't equal explicit sex on screen.

They're so salty since the main lead Sarawat is usually in straight romance dramas so despite his amazing acting and chemistry for Tine in this drama, they just wanna assume that Sarawat is "afraid of skinship," lmao how, when , where?? They had a lot of skinship to the point I got diabetes. Don't hate on an actor just because the director didn't request any explicit sex scene from him. LMAO damn, I hate people.

A SPECIAL THAT WAS MUCH NEEDED!

So here we are, finally the show uplifted itself from the 1st season's disaster. The main drive to watch it would be for the chemistry between the main couple and a look on their relationship. The side couples were cute though but didn't threw much power. The gang of Sarawat and Tine was as usual funny, and the music was fabulous. The first season's last 2-3 episodes felt dragged and unnecessary and lacking plot, which is then explained in the very first episode of this season. Personally for me I felt a lack in chemistry in the last 2-3 episodes of the last season but damn, these 5 episodes were exploding! Every person has a different take on romance in BL, for me this was the cutest, fluffiest of all of them. The whole time I was smiling from ear to ear. It's not necessary for intimate scenes to be there always. The small gestures, the longing, the realization after facing things that how much importance one holds in your life, these are all enough. Rather than having intimate scene and overuse of "I Love You", the simple acts of love spoke a lot here. For me, the series did a great job. The blunders that took place in ep 10-13 in season 1 were taken care of almost perfectly. A much better sequel!!!!!!

Hoped for better and I guess...I got it?

I rated the parent story a 4 for reasons that I put in my review, I will not be repeating that.

What I would like to point out right away is the fact that I watched this solely because I wanted to see if they fixed some of the things that went wrong in the parent story and that's where the headline comes from but it has a huge 'BUT' after it. And here's why:

I hoped for better chemistry between the leads and I got it, but up at what extent? They still seem like roommates to me even though they put a few more 'cute' scenes in. The leads' acting might be really good to some of you, but it doesn't show in this drama. It's just really annoying to see them in scenes where they have to act more intimate with each other because it looks like they don't want to play that role, especially the actor that plays Tine. In no way am I saying we should've gotten explicit scenes because this series is not about that and I totally understand, but there are plenty of shows without all that and yet so intimate and natural.

Their 'arguments' don't even seem like arguments but just simple dispute between friends. They had so much time in those 5 episodes to show some actual struggles that they might go through living together because all couples do, but they filled it up with nonsense.

Since we're on that topic, I hope I'm not the only one that really didn't care about the other couples. The chemistry was even more off than with the main leads and it just wasn't interesting. All nonsense.

Also, can somebody please tell me, how many singing scenes do we need in 5 episodes???

There were scenes that were really fun to watch and that's the only reason for that 0.5 bonus in points for this continuation but overall, it was just as, if not more, exhausting to watch as the parent story.

The change of director for this sequel to the original 2gether The Series certainly paid off. The theme of school was more laid back, the "difficult insects" (meaning hordes) of Thai girls in school uniforms screaming about how "those boys are beautiful" disappeared, the relationships between the boys were no longer so tense, more color, comedy and overall processing.
In the relationship of the central couple, I trusted Sarawat more and more, and I was also most attracted to the handsome Tim and Dim.

But I still have these feelings:
- tension in the relations between the "loving" boys, when Tine is privately offended when he finds out that his love sleeps naked in bed, does not want to be touched in private or touch his chest
- I believe that the Thai mass production company wants to tell the audience (this does not apply to all their series) that there is a special group of young people who are played by heterosexual actors and who "like" each other, but preferably without sex and if they are a baby, then shy


Změna režiséra pro toto pokračování původní série 2gether The Series určitě prospěla. Téma škola bylo více upozaděno, zmizel "obtížný hmyz" (rozuměj houfy) thajských dívek ve školních uniformách ječících z toho, jak jsou "ti kluci krásní", vztahy mezi kluky už nebyly tak upjaté, větší barevnost, komediálnost a i celkové zpracování.
Ve vztahu ústřední dvojice jsem stále více věřil Sarawatovi a dále mě nejvíce oslovili hezouni Tim a Dim.

Stále mám ale tyto pocity:
- upjatost ve vztazích mezi "milujícími" kluky, kdy Tine je v soukromí pohoršen, když zjistí, že jeho láska spí v posteli nahá, nechce si nechat dát v soukormí ani pusinku nebo šáhnout na hruď
- domnívám se, že thajská velkovýrobna chce divákům namluvit (neplatí to pro všechny jejich seriály), že existuje zvláštní skupina mladíků, které hrají heteráčtí herci a kteří se mají "rádi", ale nejraději bez sexu a pokud pusinka, tak štítivá

Gave us the conclusion that S1 failed to give

It was mostly cute and fluffy. We got to see all of our favourite characters again. I think what I liked the most is that it gave us the conclusions I felt like we were not given at the end of the first season. While Sarawar and Tine are still the main couple, there is a lot more focus and screentime given to other couples as well, which is what helped round their stories. There was a lof of conflicts to be resolved (many that made no sense at all) in such short time, so things did seem a bit rushed at times. But with this being a special with only 5 episodes and there being so much left to be done, I kind of expected it.

The only other complaint I have is on the music - I get that Sarawat is in the music club and in a band, but I felt like there was just too much performing. There was a lot in the first season too, but I felt like it made more sense there and that it was more nicely divided throughout the season. But it felt too much for this one, probably because it was this short and it ate away the time that could be spent on resolving the conflicts in a better way.

O MESMO BROMANCE SEM BRILHO

Esses 5 episódios foram quase uma segunda temporada mas sinceramente, se era pra manter os mesmo problemas da temporada anterior era melhor nem fazer.
Eu ainda fico chocada em como esse casal não tem química e parecem 2 irmãos morando juntos e fazendo coisas de irmãos, isso não deveria acontecer em um BL, até quando as cenas se propõem a ser mais carinhosas e íntimas não parece natural, e um simples selinho consegue ser extremamente forçado (sendo que beijos e sexo é algo completamente normal e saudável em um relacionamento entre adultos).
Além disso é uma história bem esquecível, não é nada demais.
