2gether The Series – Thai BL drama

by Fiona

It’s been a while since I updated and still kicking…been going through many things lately in life — social distancing/Coronavirus, and personal/career/health issues. Moving forward one-step at a time now, getting better and better.

Recently, I was checking out a few recent videos from Niki 妮奇’s Youtube channel, been a follower of hers since stumbling upon one of her Chen Qing Ling/The Untamed reaction videos. She is not only an avid boy’s love (BL) manga/series fan from Taiwan, but loves Chen Qing Ling to bits, read the Mo Dao Zu Shi novel ages ago. I enjoy watching fans who had read the original source, they always provide insight/analysis on topics that might be missed by non-readers.

Any who…Niki’s recent clips outlined her favorite Thai BL dramas of 2019 and off I wandered into the Thai dramaland…. XD I needed something else to be obessed about besides Chen Qing Ling.

Now I present to you 2gether The Series starring Win Metawin Opas-iamkajorn and Bright Vachirawit Chivaaree. I am only half way into the drama, but enjoying every moment of it.

So far, I found the acting in the drama to be very natural and the chemistry between the leads to be fabulous, especially Tine and Sarawat, our stars respectively. Though, there are some scenes that seem to have been taken from a middle school play or the acting is subpar by the supporting characters, however, I should not judge upon its cover. This is my first look into Thai drama, it might be how they execute scenes. You might feel the same if you have watched Asian dramas for a while now. We just need some time to get use to.

The 2gether story might also be cliched to some — pretend-to-be-my-boyfriend to becoming-the-actual-boyfriend. Though, I found it to be a sweet pure love story. XD It’s been a while since I seen anything without a complicated storyline/plot. There are times we just something to enjoy and smile about without any hurtles. Did I mention that the cast is quite handsome, especially the leads?! ❤

I adore both Tine and Sarawat, but like the latter a bit more. He is quite the boyfriend/husband material such as buying this and that or just being there for his significant other. Tine is cute as a button, but can be a tsundere and dumb-as-a-doorknob at times. lol Together, they are an amazing pair. ❤

Another favorite aspect of 2gether is the music by Scrubb, which is an actual band in real-life. Not sure if the characters in the drama sang any of the songs or just lip-synced to them in the series, but they sound wonderful.

2gether The Series OST

I’ll discuss more of the series once it is completed. I recommended this to anyone that is looking for something new to watch, there is 13 episodes long and subtitled in most languages on GMMTV’s Youtube channel.

羨羨是二哥哥的藍顏知己😍

by Fiona

Translates to

XianXian is Lan Zhan’s husband/soulmate/lover/boyfriend. Sounds more elegant in Chinese for some reason. lol

I am very happy that the CQL/陳情令 used “畢生知己” (longtime confidant or soulmate). It is very difficult for an actual one-to-one counterpart for “知己,” but we get the idea. “藍顏知己” literally is a husband or lover so it would much too obvious to be used in CQL. hehe Either way it is a confession from Wei Ying to Lan Zhan. 😍

I think the first time I ever hear “紅粉知己,” which is the female counterpart of “藍顏知己,” was from TVB series, Ancient Heroes (隋唐群英會). I probably gave away my age, I grew up watching their series. lol A good example is 李靖 (Li Jing) and 紅佛女 (Hong Fu Nu) from this series.

As badass of a lady that Hong was (skilled in martial arts and dance), she was not confident of how Li felt about her. They have been through thick and thin. Both of them loved and cared for one another deeply, but on the surface, it felt like a normal friendship. Everyone is very reserved during ancient time and would not outright say their feelings. It wasn’t until their older sworn brother (虯髯客) gave them a push. When Hong questioned Li and would abandon the subject forever if such a spark never existed, he said “紅粉知己” without any restraints. That was a confession?!! Then, they lived happily married afterwards.

BTW, if anyone is interested, the three of them are named 風塵三俠 (The Three Heroes) as a group and sort of like Robinhood of their time, quite famous in historical fiction when it comes to who helped Tang Gaozu and Taizong rise in power and established the great Tang Dynasty. There’s a number of TV series about them like Grand Canal, Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties, Romance of Red Dust, etc. Li Jing definitely existed, he is documented as one of most prominent generals of Tang, not sure about the other two though.

Going back to CQL, if Chinese censorship did not exist, would the scriptwriters use “藍顏知己? “

I am still in the works of reading the novel, quite curious of what 墨香銅臭 ( MXTX) used in MDZS.

祝忘羨兔兔永遠幸福, 每天甜甜!

(Wishing WangXian bunnies happiness forever, being lovey-dovey and sweet every day!) 😍

The Untamed – Jiang Cheng on WangXian

by Fiona

Jiang Cheng is just jealous of them always being so lovely-dovey since he’s still single…only has dogs and Jin Ling. hehe Though, A- Ling might find someone soon too…Sizhui.

Jiang Cheng need to work on his temper issues and keep his mouth out of the gutter. lol It definitely need much work. Hopefully, he’ll get off of the female cultivators’ ban list and find a bride before WangXian adopts more children. hehe

His eye-rolls will continue like our love for favorite couple, but deep down Jiang Cheng cares for Wei Wuxian and is happy that he found his soulmate.
