In eighth and ninth place are two Thai actors, Metawin “Win” Opas-iamkajorn, and Vachirawit “Bright” Chivaaree. Twenty-three-year-old Win has starred in the series “2gether” and “Still 2gether,” and the film “2gether: The Movie.”

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. Due to its major popularity, the series is considered a massive part of bringing the “boy’s love” genre, which began in Japan, to international prominence. The genre is typically created by women for women and is distinct from homoerotic media marketed to gay men.

Due to the success of “2gether,” the five-episode sequel “Still 2gether” was made, as well as “2gether: The Movie.”
