Thai actor Win Metawin has come a long way since 2020's 2gether: The Series. The show catapulted him and co-star Bright Vachirawit to stardom, and Win's career trajectory has only gone up since then. Now that his movie with Filipina actress Janella Salvador has been confirmed, don't you think it's time to revisit his past projects?

Here are nine Win Metawin TV series and movies to add to your watch list:
1. 2gether: The Series (2020)
Based on a novel by Thai writer JittiRain, the 13-episode GMM25 show was one of 2020's monster hits, and showcased just the right amount of lighthearted college romance viewers needed during the pandemic. Win starred as Tine, a freshman and member of the cheerleading squad, while soccer and music club member Sarawat (played by Bright) was the most popular guy on campus. Tine ends up fake-dating Sarawat to avoid breaking the heart of his relentless suitor Green.

2. Still 2gether (2020)
Fresh off the success of their initial series, BrightWin reunited in Still 2gether for a second run at playing their iconic characters. The feel-good romantic comedy has enough kilig scenes to keep you happy, with the cast now in their second year of college.
One year into their love story and the two still live together (aww!). Now that they've grown into a more grounded and solid couple, the main conflict this season happens when Wat and Tine unexpectedly end up in a long-distance relationship. What will happen to our two favorite boys in the span of five episodes?
3. 2gether: The Movie (2021)
If you were hoping that the movie version of Sarawat and Tine’s love story would feature the future of their relationship, then we're sorry to disappoint. Fans of BL films will probably better understand what's going in: 2Gether: The Movie is just the stitched-together full versions of both mini-series, 2gether and Still 2gether.
But wait, (thankfully) there's more! BrightWin fans can look forward to additional scenes, and viewers will be able to better understand Sarawat’s point of view at certain crucial moments — they now come with his narrations! Additionally, the end of the movie also gives a clear glimpse at where the couple's relationship is heading, so use your imagination for that HEA (Happy Ever After).
4. F4 Thailand: Boys Over Flowers (2021)
Fans lost their minds upon finding out that *both* Win and Bright had been cast in the Thai remake of Hana Yori Dango. Also known as Meteor Garden (2001 and 2018) and Boys Over Flowers (2009), the adaptations were incredibly successful, so expectations were at an all-time high.
The trailer was extremely well-received, and in the show Win's character Kavin is the playboy member of F4. He has unresolved feelings for his first love Mona (Neen Suwanamas), but later on shows an interest in Gorya's best friend Kaning (Prim Chanikarn).

Will Irin and Namcha have a happy ending?

6. Good Old Days (2022)
Good Old Days is a slice of life-based series with each story arc fleshed out in two back-to-back episodes. All six stories center around a very unique antique shop, where the seller spins tales on happiness, sadness, dreams, and regrets. Win appears in episodes 9 and 10, which is about a couple that struggles to cope with their difference in status after getting engaged. Can love truly win? (And how can one win Win's heart? *JK*)
7. Enigma (2023)
A noticeable change from his previous rom-com roles, Enigma is actually a thriller horror story. Win portrays Ar Jin, the mysterious new high school teacher of Fa (played by Prim, making this the second WinPrim tandem project!). She grows suspicious of the new faculty member after a series of strange incidents occur, and plays detective to try and uncover the possible link between these weird happenings and Ar Jin's sudden arrival.
GMMTV has yet to finalize the release date, but the series is tentatively scheduled for mid-2023.
8. Beauty Newbie (2024)
Webtoon-based campus romance K-drama My ID Is Gangnam Beauty was incredibly popular when it first aired in 2018. So it makes sense that it would be adapted somehow — and true enough, GMMTV has signed on to produce Beauty Newbie. There's already a teaser trailer for fans to get excited over!
Insecure protagonist Kang Mi Rae (Im Soo Hyang), smart and wealthy campus heartthrob Do Kyung Seok (Cha Eun Woo), and popular girl Hyun Soo A (Jo Woo Ri) made up the original main trio in My ID Is Gangnam Beauty. For the Thai remake, Baifern, Win, and Fah respectively will be playing the iconic roles. Fans have already edited photos of the actors side-by-side for better comparisons!
No official date has been announced, but it is expected to be released in early 2024. Can we fast forward to next year, please?
9. Parallel Skies (TBA)
What was only a set of rumors has since been confirmed: Filipina actress Janella Salvador and Win will be starring in an international movie project together! The two have seemingly started filming in Hong Kong alongside Richard Juan, and the film is reportedly helmed by award-winning Filipina director Sigrid Andrea Bernardo.
Stay tuned for more deets on Win's upcoming film Parallel Skies and TV series Beauty Newbie.
