I remember when I started watching this BL and it started with *That Scene*.I paused the episode and was very confused. Was this the first season? Was this the first episode? What is going on? I went to the comments. The very first one read: For the first time watchers: Yeah, I know. You didn't miss anything, that's how it starts.
And so I went back and binged this show in pretty much a weekend. I, unlike many others it seems, haven't watched Bad Romance and therefore had no knowledge of any of the characters or the setting or anything at all.

This show had many great comedic moments (e.g. the whole chasing scene comes to my mind) and Tul and Max have great chemistry together. I didn't get the impression that the show was taking itself to serious, therefore I probably wasn't as thrown off by the sometimes very questionable choices of the characters. I laughed quite a lot while watching it, but I also rolled my eyes probably just as much. The moments that truly stood out to me where the ones between Korn and Knock, the little bits Yiwha got, and the ridiculous over-the-top comedic moments that I metioned above.

There were a few things that bugged me, though. The acting could be a little stiff and awkward at times; it felt forced and a little over-the-top. But I've seen worse. Other things that I wasn't so keen of: The cliché crazy ex-girlfriend, the stereotype of the cheating bisexual, the studentxteacher side story, the whole Bright and Farm mess...
Keeping up with Knock's bs was quite a challenge and I think that the only reason why I still gave even the slightest crap about him was thanks to Tul.

I am not an expert on BL history, but I heard from many different people that this BL seemed to be quite revolutionary in terms of intimacy and NC scenes back when it aired.

Important to add: If I hadn't watched Together with Me, I wouldn't have known Max and Tul and therefore wouldn't have known Manner of Death, which is reason enough for me to be forever greatful for this very BL to exist.
