joe deserves so much love

Thirty years ago, Korn and Intouch were university students in Bangkok. Intouch entered Korn's life despite knowing that he was the son of one of the most influential crime bosses in Bangkok. At first, Korn pushed Intouch away, but in the end, he couldn't resist the boy who was so full of life, his exact opposite.

However, their love was star-crossed in a time when homosexuality was unacceptable. Amidst mounting chaos in their lives, Intouch kept fighting for their future, but Korn could not deal with all the suffering and decided to give up. That day, the sounds of two gunshots rang through the air. Though their story ended in tragedy, something had tied itself between them and kept them bound even beyond death.

Years later, nineteen-year-old Pharm returns to Thailand as a freshman at T- University. Riddled with sad dreams that wake him with a wet face, plagued with a fear of loud noises, and bearing a birthmark on his temple, the boy has always had a sense that he was missing someone. Twenty-one-year-old Dean is a third-year student and the swimming club's president at T- University. He, too, has spent his life searching for someone whose face he can not remember.

The red thread of fate that had tied them together in their past life pulls the two boys together once again, tying them to each other and to a past that might not be worth remembering. The red thread that binds their two hearts together will always lead one back to the other; it may tangle and stretch, but it will never break.

THIS IS WHAT WE LOOKING FOR IN 2024!

This BL captivating my heart especially after I saw episode 1. The acting is on point and it the only BL that I can't wait for 7 days just to watch another episode. I am a BL fan since 2018 that is why when I watch a BL I always dropped the series if the further episode is not good and captivating for me if it boring on the first episode i usually don't on the next episode. But this series gives back my energy when watching a BL series. Overall, the cast, acting, plot is so good. Highly recommended. Please refrain from my English thank you!

It was interesting but with further episodes I got bored

First of all, Joe needs therapy because Ming was using him as a replacement of Tong which was beyond infuriating. Also, I hoped for a revenge plot where Joe would make the ones suffer who indirectly killed him.

Ming was unlikeable, atrocious, narcissist and selfish. Ik his character is meant to be like that but atleast the writers could've gave him a redemption arc. Either ways the actor did a fantastic job with portraying Ming because he literally made my blood boil whenever his presence was on screen.

Regarding the side characters Sol's presence felt like nothing and the relationship between him and Joe was unnecessary.

What I liked about the drama was:
• chemistry between the lead actors
• ming's acting skills ( idk the actors' name)
• joe's visuals
• plot ( it was weak in the 2nd half)

In conclusion, the show got boring in the second half and I ended up skipping half of the scenes in order to finish it.

My stand in review

It’s good the story is good when Joe fell and woke up I thot he survived but the it showed another face. When it showed 3 years ago the backstory of joeming is good but it got confusing when it got deeper I had thought it went back but it didn’t so I’ll say it’s good but I need to watch more to figure out if I like it or not


Ps. I watched it on kisskh if wondering

Absolutely worth it ✨️

This bl series has been my favourite since it aired. And I'm so glad I picked it up while it was airing... The hype was ecstatic. It's kinda died down a little, now... but I still love it just the same.
Trust me, you won't see a bl drama like this again. This is the ultimate bl... All the emotions portrayed in it- I'm not adept enough to put it into words. It's that ✨️ good ✨️
I'd go as far as to say that this bl series made me believe in a better life and have hope for the future, again. I was lost and wandering... And around this time, had My Stand-In not aired, I would be a completely different person, today. I owe it to this bl series for making me hopeful and happy. I loved my new-founded happiness.
Yes, I cried a lot... but in the end, it was worth it. I strongly believe that this bl kick-started the bl industry for a second time, and gave it a new start. 🏆️💯
If you never came around to watching it, I'm honestly very sorry for you. Because you're missing out on the bl series - not of the year, but - of the decade. Watch it while you're still able to... Life gone without watching this bl is a life made wretched. 🙏

It’s a great watch

I loved the series and binge watched it in a day 😏


From the beginning it was interesting and there’s character development in Ming which is actually surprising
I’ve started this drama when someone said that it has toxic top
But I don’t think entirely that he’s that toxic cause I believe he’s just scared of being left alone by his loved one or don’t know how to actually love someone

I would seriously love love it if the soul had been in the same body (god he’s so hot )
Both actors really slayed the role

Jealously yes
Claiming you type yes
Possessive yes
Joe learning his lesson no 😂😂 he still wants Ming and that’s lovely

Please watch it if you loved dark romance ❤️‍🔥

ups and downs. you will love it

The reviews were t great, but I am still drawn into the drama. Yes the relationship is toxic and someone needs to establish respect and boundaries, but like others said it is similar to real life on occasions.

The actors do a great job and the storyline make me want to see the next episode.

The “pseudo realistic incarnation” is a novel idea from the dramas have watched so far. They did it will in my opinion.

This is definitely a drama to watch. I enjoyed and was caught up in the story.

No I desagree

First this is a very good serie, and Actors, directors writers who worked on turning it anto a drama(the story is based on novel ) did amazing Job.
I recommend to watch it .
BUUUT, hear me out: for those who say My sweet Joe was naive and stupid to be given a chance of life and go back, he actually in the second time had more guts and a bit confidence ,listen this time he managed to give Ming a bit taste of his own medicine,by just saying, this time my dignity comes with a price tag, five million ,a house and a music Carrier .
Yes you all say that's a nice way of saying he sold himself, but i think he understood that Ming will always be a narcissistic as×××!@ ,and he could not stop his feelings for him.
Like one wrote in comments, they are relationships who are more toxic in real life than ,Joe and Ming.
The only thing whic bothered me a lot ,my Baby Joe ,why do you want to go and save Tong( could you have found a better Name mybe you would be likeble 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣)
And Ming (in the whole country of 71,7 million, you chose that ... Man ,to fell in love with ????🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 not only you are a Narcissistist but blind as well , i can hate you and feel sorry for you.
Im talking about characters, Actors are amezing they really did amezing Job.

ANNOYED TO MING AND TONG AND JOE IS A FOOL

This review is only my opinion, so pls don't hate me,
This drama is annoying, it was confusing from the start, Up was so annoying here I do not like his character, his role is to hurt Joe by keep on saying to him he is just a stand in, it was annoying the situation itself and his character but him acting it is not convincing for me , in some circumstances I cannot really tell if he was joking or serious for real, and Him liking the boyfriend of his sister ?? and then seems flirting with that flirty Tong , I am not into this kind of story.
I could've continued watching it for Poom or Joe because I liked his acting and I am so convinced with his facial expressions, but I cannot take the drama itself I cannot absorb it and Joe is such a fool to accept that kind of man , I cannot take that kind of character who doesn't value and see their worth , I have my own stress in my life and this drama adds on it AHHAH I am so sorry this drama is not for me , not a fan of Up now, I even liked him at lovely writer , but now I don't know , And poom I think I can just watch him on his next drama if there will be

Overall best series of this year

story line is very interesting and both characters performed every emotion perfectly, although it's very hard to wait for next friday. Ming is rich and crazy while Joe is soft and caring. Their chemistry has lots of up's and down. In starting when they get to know eachother Joe put lot's of effort in their relationship but Ming only treat him asI replacement of Tong and always make him feel uncomfortable. But later when Joe reborn in another Joe body after 3 years in this mean time Ming realised Joe importance and care towards him, this whole time Ming suffers a lot. when somehow they get together again Ming put lot's of effort in their relationship. I hope this drama will get happy ending.

Not for me

More of a me thing but I can't handle series where the other Main lead is being treated like shit. Also kind of tired of r rated dramas. I feel like they are using these scenes to make up for the plot that is not there. But I only watched the first episode so idk go ahead and judged it on your own. This just doesn't work with me.

Hmmm

Interesting but also sickening. Hoping for a worthwhile ending.... like karma to the obnoxious 'siowrstar' actor (Tong) , toxic rich guy Ming becaimed and actual human. Joe (old or new) becomes a successful,superstar. .............................................¡!!@@!@
