Twenty-four-year-old Bright played the other lead roles in “2gether” and “Still 2gether.”
“2gether” is a romantic comedy-drama series centred on two college boys named Tine and Sarawat. The story begins when a boy named Green has a crush on Tine, and Tine does not return the feelings. To make Green go away, Tine and Sarawat begin a fake relationship. But as one would expect, make-believe turns into reality.
The series was adapted from a Thai novel of the same name. The series aired from February 2020 until May 2020.
