Still 2gether (2020)

Most of what you look for in a sequel

Of course I had to watch the sequel after how much I enjoyed 2gether.
Anyone who fell in love with WatTine will enjoy the continuation.

I feel like there's not much in spoilers in a sequel when there's no "will they or won't they." Anyone looking to watch this probably wants to know if they'll find what they're looking for from characters they already like.

To me, music was incredibly important to the original series, but it kind of misstepped here in the sequel. Ironically, the underproduced music from the original sounded better and felt organic. I believed the characters were singing in the scenes, regardless of if they were. For Still 2gether, the music was overproduced. You could tell we were listening to a studio recording, and it wasn't playing off-camera in the scene either. They clearly cut all audio from the music scenes and replaced it with the polished recording and sound effects. So the music was kind of a let down in that regard. Sound editing was incredibly lacking.

Being new to Thai culture, I had to learn what the sniff kiss was, because for a while I thought they kept teasing us with expecting a kiss and not getting one, before I learned its meaning and got it into my head that it seems to be the equivalent of a kiss in American television. That being said, while a little disappointed there weren't many kisses because of this, when they finally did have a legit kiss, that one was all the more powerful and satisfying because I'd been waiting for so long. So sometimes less is more. It was worth the wait to me.

I really enjoyed that there wasn't unnecessary drama introduced to threaten the Wat and Tine's relationship. The relationship was the conflict because relationships are hard. So I loved that it was just slice of life watching these guys navigate their relationship.

I think I didn't enjoy the side couples as much as the first series. The balance just wasn't quite there.

Sarawat and Tine still managed to be the cutest in how they express their love to each other, and that's mostly what I wanted anyway.

Don’t listen to anyone who says this series was nog good or not needed!

I just finished Still 2gether! It was so so sweet and was very much needed after the slight unsatisfactory ending of 2gether the series. It was very cute a enjoyable! It shows how much the two really do love each other even when a whole year has passed! They miss each other when they are apart, give each other sweet gifts, sing many songs to one another share alot of snuggles in their new place, many adorable head pets, nuzzles, snuggles and kisses!!! *_* whats not to love! I would watch anything if it was about Satawat and Tine! Yes I am whipped for them! The series made me so soft! Theres so many negative reviews and I just don’t understand why!? Its so good, I would watch it again and again! Don’t listen to the negative ppl go and watch this second season and cry and smile with our favourite couple being as sweet as ever!
CAN WE TALK ABOUT THEIR KISS AT THE END!! <3 EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED!

I watched it mainly because I didn't like how season one ended and because the leads are nice to look at.

Did it improve at all ? Not really but it didn't really become worse so that is something, I guess.

It was fine. Meh at best and boring at its worst.

I can completely understand why it's entertaining for some even though it is painfully average & just not good for most because it is painfully average.

In summary:
The story? Still meh.
Acting? Has not improved.
Chemistry? Has not improved.
Characters? Have not improved.

Still extremely overhyped for such an average show with leads who have no chemistry. It does not deserve to be as popular as it is.

Better than season 1

Well, this season was definitely better.

BrightWin still don’t seem like a couple here, but I mainly came back for ManType anyway and didn’t get disappointed! Their relationship is so mature, and Man/Mike is the best! I’m glad they have their series in “Tonhon Chonlatee”, tho it’s sad how they’re still the background couple and not the main.

I didn’t like how BrightWin didn’t have barely any kisses in both their seasons – I wouldn’t say I like it now but in the end, they did somewhat a good job on portraying a slow-burn relationship. Tho it’s kinda awkward that they’ve been living together for a whole year, yet are still shy when it comes to skinship? Reminds me of KongArthit.

Also, they made it way too dramatic when they were apart for 2 weeks. Way too much drama.

Overall, Mike and Gunsmile carried the show again. Their friendship is the best and their comedy just too funny! Whoever named them Man and Boss really knew what they were doing.

now why?

The average was an 8.6, so I rounded down. There is not a lot to talk about. If you don't watch this, you won't miss anything at all. Nothing happened in the five episodes. They are just trying to milk the show. I will give you a rundown on the couples because there is a word minimum limit for reviews.

Sarawat and Tine, our baes They just faced the real world in this and experienced time apart. That's about it. And they sang. THEY KEPT SINGING. If something went wrong, they would sing. If something went right, they would sing. If nothing happened at all, THEY WOULD SING. I don't like singing in Thai dramas; it reminds me of Gacha singing battles.

Man and Type called, and then Bro showed up, and then he disappeared. That was it. There's not a lot to say about them. They are long-distance, and they are trying to make it work.

Mil and Phukong are together and trying to get past that awkward phase of relationships. It is sort of working, but not really. No one thought to tell Sarawat they were dating, though. That was funny.

Boss and Pear are my favorite awkward straight couple with no actual chemistry. Boss running into the water and swimming was really funny, though.

Dim and Green are my favorite couple. Everyone hates them, but I'm really obsessed with them. I don't know why. They are just funny and always have issues.

If there are more couples, my bad. They all got shity endings. Skip this if you want. It is not necessary. Okay, now I am going to try to finish Sotus season 2. Okay bye!

Still had hope for Still 2gether

Let’s face it, 2gether the Series’ lukewarm ending left a bad taste in everyone’s mouth. Due to that, I waited for Still 2gether to wrap up before giving it a chance.

Frankly, I’m glad that I did.
First episode quickly cleaned up a lot of the mess that the first season left behind,. While it certainly felt like they were back-pedaling from last seasons decisions, I felt it was the best they could do.
In terms of story, Still 2gether was a lot of fun, and really everything I could have asked for out of a Special season. Really, what I felt was most important was development in the relationships as well as an exploration of their day-to-day one year later. Still 2gether delivered, with a solid mix of drama, romance and comedy. It all wrapped up nicely and felt like the proper ending we deserved from the original series.

All of the couples had great chemistry. You could tell that Bright and Win were more comfortable with each other in this series. Win’s acting is honestly pretty stellar and I’m really excited to see what he does after this. I was also happy that Phukong and Mil took a little longer to develop so it didn’t feel like Phukong was just a rebound.

Music was great. I still love the OST and Scrubb songs continue to grow on me

I feel that this definitely took any negative feelings I had after 2gether ended and left me with a positive feeling for the series overall. If you were ever iffy on watching this after 2gether ended, I definitely recommend. I had some genuine laugh out loud moments that left me grinning for all 5 episodes. I literally binged the whole thing in a single day

The right ending for this series

First of all, I still feel disappointed by the ending that 2gether gave us so I was very shocked when they released the news about it getting 5 extra episodes since it got a lot of criticism.
I decided to give it the chance of the doubt because of first episodes from main series were actually enjoyable. After finishing these special eps I’m glad they decided to expand the story and fix what we pointed out. This was such a cute and good feeling special. All the other couples felt less plain and more believable, I still love ManType the most out of the whole series.
What did it for me here is that I couldn’t see Sarawat and Tine’s chemistry at all when I finished the series and that made it so frustrating to watch by the end, but in these special eps you can clearly see how the actors feel more comfortable with each other and felt more like a real couple! I just adored watching domestic day-to-day scenes in their relationship, that made it complete. Also, Mil and Phukong story line was cute here, not painful like in the main series where I kept pitying Phukong 99% of the time.

Although I must say that P’Dim and Green’s relationship makes no sense, such a toxic couple they shouldn’t be together if they can’t stand each other, to be honest. I actually disliked P’Dim’s character a LOT here, he was so abusive and aggressive all the time towards Green and others for no reason like he needed some chill pills -_-
Aaaaand... what was going on with Tine’s character development? He was such a mess I was really confused, I didn’t get his personality since he wasn’t anything like the Tine that was presented to us at the beginning of the series. That felt odd and kind of a miss for me.

I was pleasantly surprised at Bright’s acting in this one, it got so much better and he interpreted Sarawat amazingly. Weirdly enough, Sarawat didn’t left a mark on me in the main series but ended up being my fave character in these five episodes! Great job I’d say. Plus, the music was really good, like in the main series. Bright played a big role on that since he was singing most of it! I am still jamming on 2gether/Still 2gether songs atm.

Moreover, glad that they hired this director (P’aof) since he’s already well known from doing such good bls like He’s Coming To Me and DBK! And he did it again in this one. Overall, acting got much better and felt more real, best directing and script, cute fluffy moments with all the couples, etc. Lots of reasons that make me want to pretend 2gether ends on episode 8 and continues on Still 2gether episode 1. Still 2gether has left a good taste after all the bitterness that 2gether kept dragging with its ending.

The kind of BL that I like

I'm so tired of discussing why I love this to haters who only know how to hate it. Well, I can't blame them it's not perfect. My score is around 8.5 But I want to give this perfect score to counter those unfair reviews with too low scores like 2 or 1. I really think they're retarded lol.

Lets go back to the 5 eps series. The first 3 was not that good. Those episodes are for story buildup and to fix the issues with the season 1 which is for me, a little meh. But... On ep 4 the couples started to shine. Everything feels good it's like the first time I watched the few episodes of season 1. It was well directed and the chemistry of all couples are flourishing. Thank you directorkrub I guess. Then, episode 5. The episode that I never know I needed. That last kiss from wat and tine is what my heart yearning for all this time andnI feel more complete now. Hope to see them again in other series.

Expanded Season 1

As everyone knows, this 5-part special was more or less an expanded season 1 most likely to appease fans from how the actual season ended (also because of COVID-19).

If it wasn't obvious from the main series, the pushing factor that made Tine and Sarawat get together was because of Dim's and Green's relationship problems. In this special, DimGreen was the cause for SarawatTine's action as well (directly and indirectly). I was genuinely worried about how production was going to insert a problem and resolve it within 5 episodes but most, if not all, of the problems introduced were resolved within the same episode. The only exception to this was the DimGreen problems which were the overarching issues.

Without a doubt, the acting from everyone was outstanding (even from the original series). A definite improvement from everyone. Gus definitely has a natural knack for expressions and it's something I truly enjoyed when it came to expressing himself as Green. I don't know about others, but for me, everyone during this special became inexplicable better looking. Like JJ and Khaotung really exuded handsomeness. Win's cheeks were so adorable here that I couldn't stop squealing about them.

As for the music, it's understandable why Scrubb songs were used again since they were the basis plotline for 2gether. Giving Win his own OST for the finale was an amazing choice. I know he's shy when it comes to singing but his voice is so soft and beautiful that I'm happy he willingly recorded a song; his first recorded song.

I don't know if I'll ever re-watch this or not because I tend not re-watch series/dramas that much anymore, but it may happen when I'm feeling like enough time has passed.

I'm thoroughly happy with the way everything was resolved, despite everything technically resolving at the end of 2gether, and expanded to give full closure to all the couples, or listed couples. The expanded story-lines for the side couples were definitely nice additions especially Mil and Phukong.

With the way this special ended, I can say for certain that a 2nd season is not needed, however, it could never hurt for more (if that ever happens, please name the series like Old 2gether, 2gether 4ever, or something along the lines).

With that being said, I'm thoroughly happy I could enjoy this series while it was airing and have the hype like everyone else compared to me watching series that have ended a few months to a year later and the hype is no longer there.

Satisfying

With how the original series ended so poorly in my opinion with useless drama, even though everything before the final episodes had so much potential, this special five episode bonus absolutely fixed everything. It was really just fan service, but it was exactly what I needed to feel satisfied with this show. It was a ton of fluff, but that is exactly what I wanted!

A lot of people have issues with the lack of physical affection, which I really don't understand. Are all of you just so used to other BLs being extremely intimate and feel unsatisfied with this one? Do you just want your fantasy fulfilled? Because it sounds like that from a lot of what I've see. Because this story doesn't NEED to have that affection to get the love across—it shows affection with how the characters look at each other, the words they speak to each other, as well as the head-patting and other cute little things. Characters don't need to heavily make out to show that they care, of course I'd understand why some prefer that or wanted that from this show. I also like seeing such things, but I didn't need it from this show and the previous series. I think it's harder to showcase love if you have characters be less intimate, so if you can pull off showcasing it without it, then that just proves how well the characters feel for each other even more, in my opinion, and this show did that.

I don't think Bright and Win were awkward with each other at all. In fact, I really love how Tine is the shy one who still gets flustered and Sarawat just has heart eyes for him 24/7. Even though it's meant to be a year after dating, and some are like "Oh, no, a couple wouldn't be so shy after a year," I think you should take into consideration that both Tine and Sarawat are each boyfriends for the first time (to other guys), and that Tine is generally shy when it comes to him. A year really isn't that long. Not everyone rushes into a relationship and is suddenly super confident and comfortable with their significant other. Tine is so clearly in love with Sarawat and vice versa. I felt that. It's also alluded they are close to each other, except it's just not shown on screen due to the channel that the show is on. They live together, come on now.

Anyways, I actually didn't care at all for the side romantic relationships in the original series, but I absolutely adored Man and Type in this one. I think their dynamic is so beautiful, with Man being an absolute cinnamon roll and Type being more serious but clearly loving Man perhaps even more than Man does Type compared to the original series. Their shower scene was so beautifully domestic and it's one of my favorite scenes from the entire series. Personally, I think Toptap is the best actor on this show. His acting is really top notch compared to everyone else. He acts with his face and eyes, and I could really feel what his character was feeling with every expression. Props to him.
