so

• a 2gether thread •

(to opt out, mute: #highfiveheardroundtheworld)

All right so I've already watched 1/4 and part of 2/4 so a brief recap of my impressions so far:

• Tine's a dumbass
• Tine's friends are also dumbasses
• My favorite character is Tine's brilliant ex-girlfriend who got a designer purse out of him

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

• No one feels like a real person so I'm going to try and embrace the cartoony lean of the show
• Green's actor deserves better than this role, give him his own drama damn it
• If I hear one more line about changing sexuality I will breathe fire

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

• The montage of the girls Tine has dated was ridiculous and, like, reminiscent of what 50-year-old straight men think women are like
• Despite all of this it's still sort of cute so I'm gonna give it a shot because I've heard it gets better

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

except for the high five heard round the world

whoever made that choice is an entire nitwit

i don't even go here (yet, maybe) and i'm annoyed about it

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I LOVE THIS ACTOR BASED ON CHERRY IN SOTUS S WHERE HE WAS ALSO A SIDE CHARACTER BUT ALSO LOOK AT HIM HERE HE'S CLEARLY CAPABLE OF STRONGER WORK GIVE HIM ROLES WITH SUBSTANCE PLEASE I WANT TO SEE HIM SUCCEED

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

she's amazing. good for her getting a designer purse from a dumbass who couldn't deal with someone being indecisive for thirty seconds. you deserve it, sweetie, enjoy your purse and your fabulous life without the dumbass judging you.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

go study something you pack of elbows

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Tine: Let's see, which of these cups contains the unlabeled white powdered substance my friends gave me that I apparently did nothing to confirm the safety of before giving it to this whole other alive human being. It is also fine to drug people.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Look!! His acting and charisma is so strong he can make this objectively terrible character charming!!

Oh, and screw the writer(s)/creators for playing on the Aggressive Gay Man stereotype. I see it and I don't like it. At all.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

"Morning, bro! Rescued you after you accidentally drugged yourself, hur hur hur."

...Y'know what, I take back what I said about none of the characters seeming real.

I definitely knew dumbasses like them in school.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I like this dumbass. I don't know why, he's just endearing for some reason. Since his actor is the brother of Non's actor, I shall call him Oui.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

In a parallel universe you're named after sky sweat.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I SAID I WAS GOING TO TRY AND IGNORE THE WRITING BUT JUST. HEAR ME OUT. I KNOW I'M NITPICKING, BUT WHAT'S THE DIEGETIC LOGIC FOR HIM RESEARCHING THIS RANDOM GUY.

Like okay, the narrative purpose here is to introduce Sarawat as a character, right?

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

But why have Sarawat introduced like this? They're just watching videos and commenting on his personality. There are so many other stronger ways to introduce Sarawat through direct interactions with Tine. Just let Tine go talk to him to discover this.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

The way they deliver this information is visually underwhelming, too. They're staring at a phone watching videos, but even the videos are shot in multi-angle like drama footage, so it doesn't even feel like the videos they're watching.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I don't think this is terrible, I just see potential for stronger material. The actors are good and the production value is decent and I want the writing to be on the same level.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Oui, baby, that's called stalking.

Stalking is illegal.

Also illegal: drugging people.

Maybe let's stop having ideas for a while, okay, sweetie?

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

...........they lined........up.........................

no, I refuse this, go back to the ex-girlfriend with her designer purse I want to know what she's doing

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I'm begging you. All of you. Study a thing. Anything. Biochemistry. Irish history. Ghanaian culture. You're in university, you don't need spies, you need your education. And to stop bothering people.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

........................can they stop treating girls and women like this in media please.

please

I'm asking nicely

Just stop

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I thought you were running to find a guy to fake date because the writer decided that the one-dimensional gay stereotype won't take no for an answer but sure, your way of saying it sounds nicer.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Tine: Hi. My fool friends and I are here to fuck up your entire day. Please disregard the sea of our peers bearing down behind me. We're not affiliated.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

PREM!

Don't you dare give any of these boys your advice.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

romeo
romeo

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

WHY IS THAT YOUR GO-TO

HE DOESN'T KNOW YOU, FOOL, WHY WOULD HE THINK HE HAS TO TALK TO YOU

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Me, poisoned by petekao: AH YES THE OLD PUNCH HIM AND FALL IN LOVE WITH HIM STRATEGY

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

to where you were just standing there

lying isn't illegal sarawat but it isn't nice either

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

pfffffffftttttt SOTUS Prem's actor is amazing in everything he's in look at his face

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

...................................................................................................................................................................................................................i thought this line was made up by a fan

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

.........i mean absolutely no argument from me but how does that connect to the VERY WEIRD THREAT you just made

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

GUNSMILE IS THE BEST I LOVE THIS MAN IN EVERYTHING I'VE SEEN HIM IN

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

why is he an asshole? because he threatened to sexually assault you and then called you annoying even though he had literally nothing to base that judgment on apart from your mere existence in front of him?

oh, no, okay, i hear it now

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

has anyone else noticed that Green like

hasn't been around

at all

but sure keep doing this with your time

(sHOW ME ONE TEXTBOOK YOU OWN)

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

SOMEONE FROM THAILAND PLEASE TELL ME UNIVERSITY STUDENTS DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE FANS AMONG THEIR PEERS

PLEASE TELL ME THIS IS JUST A WEIRD THING SOME BL NOVELISTS MADE UP AND NOW EXPECT PEOPLE TO SUSPEND REALITY AND BELIEVE

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

NO

HE'S TAKEN

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I've read so many clever and amusing premises for fake dating in so many fics, I'm genuinely annoyed that the premise for this faking dating is "a gay man won't leave me alone".

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

"I have too much free TIME. Ha ha. Anyway please date me but not for real lol. thx

-TiNe"

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

o no is bb tired from all the studying he didn't do and all the bothering strangers he did do

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

..........who sleeps ON THE KEYS

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

props to the set designer! this is authentically sterile and austere. good dorm room [applause]

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

"I like watching you sleep, Bella."

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

ohhh that's why he had that weirdly specific line in his email

mmmmgggghhh the writing

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

what

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

OKAY.

A NUMBER OF THINGS.

1) THINK ABOUT THE OPTICS OF HAVING YOUR CHARACTER /HAVE A NIGHTMARE/ ABOUT A MAN KISSING HIM. FOR /COMEDY/.
2) GREEN'S ACTOR DESERVES BETTER THAN THIS ROLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
3) WHO WROTE THIS I JUST WANT TO TALK

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Like, Green doesn't have a character. He's The Gay Character. Anything that makes him likable is fully attributable to Green's ACTOR and no one else.

I don't buy this as Tine struggling with his sexuality. It wouldn't be framed as a joke if it were.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

drive faster, sarawat

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

this is going to keep coming back isn't it

the writer was super proud of this line huh

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

pfffft okay this made me laugh

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

All right, listen up, you.

You're the protagonist. You've got one more episode to make me like you and care about what happens to you.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

awww some faces i already like

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

ha.

ha.

ha.



#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Awww I forgot about Fang, I also like Fang.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

you deserve so much better than this role, bb

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

gunsmile ilu <3

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Sarawat: don't feel like you have to embarrass yourself for our amusement
Tine: FUCK YOU BRO I WILL EMBARRASS THE FUCK OUT OF MYSELF

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

eeeewwwww ew ew penis hair penis hair
WASH YOUR HANDS
WASH YOUR
H A N D S

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

aaaand now we have theft

how many crimes does he commit before the end of this show just curious

should i have a counter

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

This is starting to feel like Theory of Love if Khai were the protagonist.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

aaaahahaha, this is the second likable thing he's done

Tine sucks

Team Sarawat

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

WHY WOULD HE TRUST YOU

YOU'VE:

• RUN UP TO HIM AND CALLED HIM AN ASSHOLE
• STALKED HIM ONLINE TIL YOU FOUND HIS EMAIL
• CHASED HIS CAR DOWN A STREET ON A BICYCLE
• BROKEN HIS PHONE

GREEN HAS BEEN WAY NICER TO YOU THAN YOU'VE BEEN TO SARAWAT

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

just a reminder that he bought a designer bag for his ex too

just fun things to keep in mind that make me happy because he annoys me

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Wow he has, like, zero redeeming qualities, huh?

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

TEAM SARAWAT!!!!!

MAKE THIS LITTLE GNAT'S LIFE AS ANNOYING AS HE'S MADE YOURS, BB

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

time for episode 2 of Green Is a Kinder Person Than Both Dudes in the Main Couple and Deserves Better from This Script, Like at Least One Additional Dimension of Depth to His Character and Hey, Maybe Even Two

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Shoutout to the third Thai drama I've seen that acknowledges the presence of professors at Thai universities.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I would like to formally announce that I know his name is Ohm, but I will continue to call him Oui because it amuses me.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

pfffffft

Y'know what, Tine doesn't deserve a boyfriend.

I'm sailing on the S.S. SarawatGreen from now on.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Director,

This is supposed to be a funny scene. Your extras have to react to what they're seeing. Suprise, shock, amusement. Pick one. The fact that none of them emote except the prof (a presumably more experienced actor) is a failing on your part.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Best Actor in this scene goes to the girl peeking through her fingers. Brilliant show of secondhand embarrassment. [sincere applause]

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

...anyhoo I'm excited to watch the second season where I assume the HCTM/DBK director improved on this mess.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

My Favorite Characters in 2gether:

• The 3-Dimensional Version of Green Who Lives in My Head
• Tine's Smart Purse-Owning Ex-Girlfriend
• Fang
• Gunsmile's Character
• The Bicycle That Sacrificed Itself to Chuck Tine Onto the Ground
• This Kid

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Also, this dumbass. I officially love this dumbass. He's a good dumbass.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

Cool story, penis hair, so do I.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I like her.

Can she and Tine's ex-girlfriend date?

Or maybe Fang?

Can this just become a w|w drama is what I'm asking

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

I actually want these to date now.

If I write fic about them I can't promise I won't call Ohm Oui though.

#highfiveheardroundtheworld

YEP I'M INTO IT

ONCE I LEARN THE OTHER ONE'S NAME IT'S ALL OVER

#highfiveheardroundtheworld
