Title: 2gether
Tine is a very handsome student and cheerleader in college, while Sarawat is one of the campus’ most popular guys and is also in the soccer and music club. When Tine is chased by Green, who he does not reciprocate feelings for — he ends up begging Sarawat to fake date with him in order to chase Green away. Somehow, just like the tale as old as time goes — pretend somehow starts to turn into reality. However, before a "happily ever after" there is the process of falling in love, and the slow realization that somehow they aren't pretending anymore. Somehow, they do not want to.

So, I think this is the first time I watched Thai TV Series in full. Something that I realized when I watched this series, it's not really different from Indonesian soap operas. Lol. I still remember about the place where they eat is similar to warteg here.
Tine and Sarawat
Well, I am interested to watch this series because of the premise. Tine is a very handsome and cute student and cheerleader in college. We could say that he is a pretty boy and everyone adores him. Then, there is Sarawat, a cool boy with huge charisma. He is a member of the soccer and music club. Due to his coolness, he is the most popular boy on campus and everyone chased him. You know, when all of the girls chase him with all of their might.
When Tine is chased by Green, he is really frustrated. He didn't know how to "get rid of" Green from his life. So, after discussing everything with his closed-friend, Fong, Phuak, and Ohm, they gave the idea for Tine to fake date Sarawat. Note, that dating girls wouldn't be enough to make Green give up. Therefore, Tine needs someone that Green couldn't dare to snatch Tine away.
After so much drama and misunderstanding, finally, Tine and Sarawat being a couple and start to adjust their life.
My Thought
At first, the premise looks so promising. So, actually, Tine is a bi, since he is still attracted to girls but also cannot resist Sarawat's charm. Most of the time, there are so many cliche scenes here and there.
Tbh, I like the premise when they said that Sarawat actually has fallen for Tine for a very long time. But, it's not as smooth as I want him to be. I know that there are a lot of sweet scenes between Sarawat and Tine. Unfortunately, their intimate moment is so limited.
But maybe, my favourite scene would be when Sarawat is being attacked by his enemy. I think it was the beginning of Tine finally realizing how he was attracted to Sarawat.
Then, since this is the first time I watched the Thai BL Series, I couldn't believe how everyone around Tine and Sarawat are also gay couples too. Start from Type (Tine's brother) with Man (Sarawat's friend), Phukong (Sarawat's brother) and MIl (Sarawat's enemy), until Green and Dim. That makes the story isn't focused at all. I do wonder if this is really common in the BL universe?
One tiny note, I just remember about Sarawat and Tine's background. The fact that Sarawat is an IR student is something that I like the most. Then, Tine is a law student. What an interesting background of them.
Conclusion
This is an okay series. I somewhat adore Tine and Sarawat's relationship. But, since there are other couples here, the focus in this series has been dispersed and I didn't really fancy it. I don't know whether I will search for another Thai BL drama again or not... but let's see.
5 out of 10 stars.
