OOTD first, I wore the 2gether shirt for this event. This is the first time I wore this shirt because I said to myself that I will only wear this for the concert and will ask Bright and Win to sign my shirt. Sadly, it didn't happen.
I became a fan of BL (Boys Love) in 2016 when I watched the first season of SOTUS the series. But, I have always dreamed of living in Thailand since 2010 when I watched the movies of Mario Maurer such as Crazy Litle Thing Called Love and the critically acclaimed love of Siam. These movies were my early introduction to Thai culture and since then, I fell in love with Thai Popular culture. In 2016 I was introduced to BL series by my colleague in the academe and that was SOTUS and that's when my fascination to Thai BL became not just fandom but part of my research interest in the academe. Fast forward to 2019 I got the opportunity to work in Thailand as an ESL teacher and I am fulfilling my dreams of fangirling with the Thai actors (BL actors in particular).
In late February this year, 2gether the series premiered starring Bright Vachirawit and Win Metawin. A few weeks later, it became one of the trending topics in Thailand and also in the Philippines, probably because of the Covid situation and all the people are stocked at home and were able to catch all different kind of series/shows on the internet. The series became really popular not only in Thailand but also in neighbouring Asian countries. It was the talk of the town in all social media and the main characters Sarawat and Tine are always the trending topics on Twitter and Facebook.
2gether the series paved the way for other BL series to be loved by fans (both BL and non-BL fans) all over the world. Last October 17, 2020, the whole cast of 2gether The Series had their first-ever major concert as a way of giving thanks to all the fans and I was one of the lucky fans to witness this in Thailand. Many global fans are wishing to come to Thailand to see the concert, however because of the pandemic travelling abroad is not a possible thing.
It was a surreal moment for everyone, imagine seeing all of the stars of your favourite series performing in front of you! They also re-enact all of the most unforgettable scenes from the series.
The highlight of the event was the group photo with all of the cast of 2gether the series. It was a nerve-wracking experience, imagine you are there, you breathe the same air with all of the actors and you feel like you are really part of the show. I got so excited talking with Bright and Win on what post they will be doing but this is the best thing that I can do.
The show ended at around 9;30PM (we were there at the venue starting 9:00AM) we also had the farewell time with all of the stars. It was indeed a very fun experience, I wish international fans can also experience this once the pandemic is over.
