The duo initially shared the screen on the acclaimed Thai drama “2gether The Series,” where Bright portrayed Sarawat Guntithanon, one of the leading characters, while Nene took on the role of Air, a prominent member of the music club. This shared history made the surprising news of their relationship all the more staggering for fans, as they reminisced about their on-screen chemistry and dubbed it heartwarming to see the two actors getting “2gether” off-screen as well.
