Together With Me is one of those friends-to-lovers stories that really sticks with you. It's an oldie but definitely a goldie for me. I've been wanting to watch it for the longest time but couldn't find a streaming site-it's no longer on Netflix. Luckily, I finally found a way to watch it.
This isn't your typical fluffy BL. It leans more into drama, especially with one of the main characters struggling to accept that he's gay, which honestly still hits close to home for a lot of people today. The story also deals with some heavy themes like cheating, manipulation, and even violence. So, yeah it's not for everyone, especially if you're not into cheating plots. But for me, it adds to the realism of the story.
Knock cheats on his girlfriend with his best friend Korn because he just can't deny his feelings anymore. It's obvious he's really into men. I get that his girlfriend was hurt when she found out, but secretly taking pictures of them kissing and spreading them around campus? That's a big no. And hiring someone to beat up Korn? Definitely crossing the line. At the end of the day, being gay isn't something you can fix. You can't change who someone is.
I didn't like Yihwa at first, she was too nosy and always meddling in everyone's business. But over time, she grew on me. She turned out to be a real one-loyal to Knock and Korn and always by their side no matter what.
There are a lot of characters in this series. Aside from the main love triangle, there's also another one involving Farm, Bright, and Prae. But honestly, the one character who's a total green flag is Fai, she's hilarious and super lovable. Everyone needs a friend like her.
Visually, the series isn't the best, it is from 2019 after all, so don't expect anything high-def. But even with its flaws, I genuinely enjoyed it. It's a tough watch at times, but it never felt boring. There are lots of twists that keep you hooked.
If you're into something with spice, drama, and some emotional depth, this one's worth checking out.
