I don’t know if that drama is one of your pet peeves as I wasn’t following your blog when it was airing but what was your thought on 2gether ? Do you think it’s JittiRain best drama? do you like the pairings and characters? Do you consider that it deserved it success?
I find 2gether to be... meh? I don't have a strong opinion on it, honestly.
I don't think it was brilliant but it's definitely not the worst Jittirain out there.
Actually, it's typically second on my list, right after Theory of Love.
Did they succeed with the characters? Eh? Kind of?
I never thought the main couple actually worked together. Tine seemed constantly to be on edge whenever Wat touched him and I just kind of wanted to tell him it was okay to not want to be touched...
I loved both side couples, though.
Green was just... horrific in terms of characterization but this was an older show and there's a bit more... room for that in my judgement.
I did not watch 2gether while it aired, though, I got into the fandom after it had finished and ended up binge watching it as one of the last shows I binged, actually, before I went to 99% watching shows live. And it was a struggle.
So... I don't think it's her best drama but it's in the two half? This was one where the lying did work because it was very minor and it didn't play a big role in the foundation of their relationship.
"I've seen you before and developed a massive crush and didn't know how to tell you" is nothing like "I refused to tell you my name for two years in an alternate universe where we had nothing but our names" or "I refuse to respect any aspect of your personality and will constantly undermine every promise I make to you and every request you make of me". Much lower stakes and much more palatable.
Deserves it's success is such an odd way to put something. I don't really think that way and I don't know how to? I don't think anything Jittirain wrote deserves the level of success it has, tbh. But I think the same for most of MAME so... you know? My taste is not most people's taste (lol as if this wasn't obvious.)
2gether is not a pet peeve of mine, it's just another drama that I watched and one that I never got attached to, tbh.
My favorite Jittirain couples have all been side couples. TwoUn, DueanMean, ManType, AouFuse (we were robbed)... The main couples, which almost always include some form of lying or manipulation, never seem to appeal to me.

The Sun Will Rise - UnTwo Ficlet
To celebrate my 100 follower milestone (y’all, how did we get here? ilysm. And it happened on my birthday? Y’all), I’ve decided to write a little ficlet about my favorite couple from my favorite show. I’m really glad that this is happening at a time where the show has recently ended and all my feelings have been marinating for a bit so they can come out as this work. It’s a bit simple, but I hope you guys enjoy my first fic as much as I did writing it
Word count: 1k
Genre: fluffy, domestic, a touch of angst (Un is anxious) with a happy ending
General tags: slice of life, future, canon-compliant, maybe ooc (ehhh i tried my best)
Summary: Un is already nervous about proposing to Two, and then he starts having insomnia when things at work begin going wrong. Comfort and advice from Two ensue
-
Whenever Un couldn’t sleep, or if he woke up in the middle of the night and had trouble getting back to sleep, he would step outside for a bit. This night was no exception. He’d been having trouble at work recently, thoughts of which invaded his mind during the darkest hours of the day when he was supposed to be resting.
No matter what he did, there was always something off when he was trying to film. Props in a different place than he thought they should be, lighting that wasn’t flattering the actors in the right way, costumes that needed to be tweaked until they looked just right.
Nothing was going perfectly, and at that moment in Un's life, he needed perfect.
It needed to be perfect because Un already had a lot on his mind. He was planning on proposing to Two soon, since they had talked about getting married earlier in the year, and their anniversary, when he planned on asking, was approaching fast.
He had already been close to bouts of insomnia when he first started looking at rings. Then, after buying the silver band with a flower engraved in it, began having tiny moments where he would wake up at night before quickly falling asleep again. Combined with the frustrations at his job, he was growing increasingly anxious, and started to routinely have trouble falling and staying asleep. So he started going outside.
Two hadn’t noticed, or at least Un thought he didn’t. In truth, he had picked up on the difficulty Un had been having getting to sleep, but he didn’t say anything yet, hoping for Un's sake that whatever issues he was having would be resolved. If Un didn’t come to him about his worries, he must be able to handle it on his own, right?
However, tonight was seeming to be especially difficult for Un. After waking up once to go to the bathroom, Two noticed the cold place on their bed where Un should have been. Rolling over later to find a still empty bed was disheartening, and a glance at the red light of the alarm clock told him that Un had been outside on the balcony of their apartment for just under an hour now, maybe more.
Moving the blankets to the side, Two stood up and made his way to the glass door separating him from the outdoors and Un. Pushing the curtain out of his way, he slid the door open with a quiet creak and stepped onto the cold cement of the balcony.
Un was standing with his arms folded and placed on the railing. Getting closer, Two wrapped his arms around his boyfriend's exposed waist, grabbing the soft cloth of his shirt. After pressing a light kiss into the back of Un's neck, he whispered a question to Un, warm breath mingling with the cool air.
"What’s wrong?" This made Un fidget a bit, standing up straighter and dropping one of his crossed arms to his side, the other coming up to cradle Two's head to place a delicate kiss on his forehead while mumbling, "Nothing. Go back to bed."
Two pulled his head away from Un's, who let his hand fall to his hips. A soft scoff came from Two, his breath tickling Un's neck. "Please don’t lie," he asked, his gentle voice full of concern.
"I... work troubles." He said after considering for a bit.
Two's grip on him tightened a smidge, "What kind?"
"Nothing... nothing's going right," Un sighed.
"Nothing?"
"Well, it’s just, nothing's... perfect," he struggled to find the words.
Two took a moment to respond, debating the best way to reply to this. "Does everything have to be perfect?" Two queried as he rested his head on Un's shoulder.
"I... I guess not. It would give me less to stress over, I guess."
"Oh? What else is worrying you?"
"Ah, I don’t know," Un pushed out, cautious to not spill his proposal plans.
Two didn’t believe him, but he let it go, figuring Un wasn’t ready to share that part yet. "Ok. Ok, how about this? Tomorrow—uh, today actually—when you go to work, try to think about the bigger picture instead of every little detail. Or, try thinking about the things on set that are going right, then shift to what needs fixing." Two had a hard time gauging Un's reaction to his suggestion, unable to clearly see his face from behind him, and the dark sky didn’t much help. "Does that sound alright?"
"Y-yeah. Yeah, it does." In the middle of replying, Un grew more confident, taking his boyfriend's words to heart and realizing that everything would be fine if he just focused on the good like Two said.
The good in Un's life was that he had a boyfriend who loved him, who wanted to marry him, who would say 'yes' if he asked. Yeah, he would say 'yes' for sure, there wasn’t any reason to worry so much.
Feeling silly for having been so anxious, he took on a rosy hue, and when he leaned back to rest his head on Two's shoulder, the latter boy felt his heated, peach-blushed skin through his shirt.
"Thank you," he whispered, eyes almost all the way closed, lashes not quite touching his cheeks.
A small smile found its way onto Two's face, his eyes fondly watching Un's calm expression. "Let’s go to bed." Two's hands gently flitted down to where Un's hung at his sides, placing them over his and squeezing them lovingly. "The sun will rise soon."
Un looked out across the water, watching with moon-drunk eyes as the sky prepared to lighten. He thought of Two's words, a smile creeping its way onto his face as he thought of the things on set to his liking and ways to better the scenes he had yet to shoot, as well as the ring hidden in their bedroom. His hands brought Two's up to his lips, pressing them into Two's night-chilled skin.
"Yeah... it will."
