I want more!
Such a cutie series this is.. this series to me felt like that comfort food you eat after a long day of work.. it was cute, light and just so cozyI love the whole cast, such a sweet energetic, young cast.. they brought out the best
Talking about the lead, THEE is the biggest cheeseball but it felt so cute to watch him.. peach described him the best, he is a golden retriever like HE IS like that and I learned he is like that even irl
And peach was just the person u need to handle the golden retriever, a calm, mature and someone who can ground the puppy.. their chemistry was good.. as a millennial, I squealed under my blanket like a school girl so …
And I need to watch the supporting character’s main lead dramas now coz I loved them.. williamest, perthsanta, I was already into them with their edits and all. And now I’m even more invested so I’m watching ur dramas next..
Overall, it was FUN to watch..

it's iconic, i know
I know the Khun Thee gimmick was so iconic, but for me, I don't think this is PondPhuwin's best work. There are so many plot holes and the character development is weak. This isn't PondPhuwin's first project together, but why do they look so stiff in a lot of their scenes? They don't seem comfortable with each other. Even when they're just leaning against each other, it feels so tense and forced. The same goes for their make-out scenes. The pacing also feels really slow—I had to watch it at 1.25x speed so the scenes wouldn't feel so empty.I love them, I am Narawins myself. This is my non-biased opinion about the series.

REALLY strong start but didn’t keep Momentum!
so I’m sad to say I am a little disappointed with how the show ended up turning out to be. I feel there were great bones to the storyline and I feel like the time wasn’t used well to flesh out these parts.something the show brought that we never see again is Peach’s trauma with his father that is something we start to see but not again.
the proposed danger that Thee is in but there is never any real threat.
I also fear the worst offense was how they utilized their side characters, perthsanta storyline could have been so perfect if they left it at episode 8 broken up but to continue into ep 9 with Aran doing a complete unprompted switch to save Tawan after the fight was odd considering there was no apology or change of actions to show Aran that tawan was better or changed so it felt thrown in there to just give them an ending and GMMTV needs to let characters break up and not be end game it’s okay I’m sure most ppl would of appreciated the realism of moving on from a toxic relationship. they could of had tawan try to make amends with peach and thee on his own once he lost everything and peach could have then forgiven him and tell thee to chill which leads to a possible make up with Aran but they just gave it to tawan without any work.
Mok and Rome feel like it could be a spin off maybe but also if that’s the end of the story we see it also was a under utilization of characters that could of brought a lot to the plot.
I think part of why the story lost momentum was that there weren’t any growth steps like yes that one director who had a issue with peach was a good step but that was resolved in one episode and after that we don’t really see any other issues of note for the couple so it goes a bit downhill considering we don’t get much mafia things actually happening.
still love Pond Phuwin but I can’t say this is a favorite from them but visually this is the best they have ever looked aging like fine wine whole cast is visuals! I think if there was a deeper care to writing a well fleshed out story for them it could have been a 10 but it’s good for laughs

this is not a typical drama, its filled with second hand emarassment and is a complete meme material. in my opinion, its a big hit because its like that, a lot cringey and funny, not something that you generally expect when you start watching a show that too in a mafia setting, also the actors really did a great work, especially pond naravit, who brought khun thee to life. the acting was really good and done without any visible inhibition. loved it!
in conclusion, its a show that you can definately watch when you are down to feel good, its every episode is an absolute masterpiece. one thing is that you cannot be bored with it, and if you are watching it for the first time, its full of surprises, things that you cannot even think of doing of are done by them in the show, its unpredictable, you'll be screaming at the screen telling the characters not to do something and thats what they'll do. but its definately worth watching.

Great Rom com with so many funny bits and great chemistry
If you’re looking for a great Rom com with wonderfully funny scenes and well rounded and complex characters that melt your heart then look no further.The story opens when an introverted freelance photographer (Peach played by Phuwin) inadvertently stops a model (Aran played by Santa) from being accosted and dragged off to be an unwilling bed partner by a lonely, entitled, ultra rich mafia boss/ CEO of a perfume company (Thee, played by Pond) who thinks by throwing obscene amounts of money around he can do exactly as he pleases but Peach is having none of it. They have quite a heated argument in the underground car park that Peach escapes to with Aran and Thee’s interest is immediately piqued as no one has ever stood up to him before. After this clash nothing will ever be the same again as the pair slowly but surely learn to be what the other needs whilst changing and growing together to become the best version of themselves.
Along the way we also meet Mok (played by EST) Thee’s long time friend and ever patient bodyguard who is the king of the subtle eye roll, mental head slap and understated, exasperated sigh. Tawan a well known singer and model with a troubled relationship with Aran (played by Perth who’s worked opposite Santa before) and Plub, Peach’s younger sister (played by Bonnie) as well as two well known stars from back in the day.
The final scenes show Thee and Peach as they walk through the GMMTV building (that Thee decides to buy) where they meet several well known GMMTV actors including William, Book, Force and Tu Tontawan and GMMTV’s actual CEO which is a cute ending and playful ending to a great story.
With emphasis on humour at the outset, even when things go wrong or the plot turns serious we are often treated to wonderfully silly or subtly playful scenes that leave the audience sniggering. For example Peach insists the rigid, uptight Thee wears his sister’s ridiculously vibrant slippers upon entering his home so he stands looking like a rabbit in the headlights wearing a dark, immaculate suit with pink puffballs on his feet.
The acting is incredible, the scenes where Thee and Peach initially clash are wonderful and so so funny and because these actors work together so flawlessly it brings out the A game in the rest of the cast.
The locations and buildings used are jaw dropping- I need to go to the resort where Thee somewhat successfully tries to woo Peach, even though I wouldn’t want the flag twirlers to turn up!
Would I watch this again? Absolutely!

So much potential but the script fell short in the end
The beginning was very entertaining, hilarious and eye catching. I loved the comedy and the building chemistry between the main leads.There was so much potential, and I expected a dramatic conflict due to the premise of the whole mafia family situation.
However, it felt like they built up this whole mafia story and then it just flopped, in the end. There was no climax and it became VERY boring in the last half.
The only good parts of this story was when Thee was having his comedic moments, but when it's repeated over and over, it could get a bit boring, especially when there is no major conflict or story.
This could've been a very good story but the plot felt sloppy and lazy to me. If you like a comedic story that's light hearted with no major conflicts or plot, then this will be for you.

An upbeat drama to watch when need laughter in your day
I just finished watching this drama and wanted to share my thoughts.At first, I had to check MDL to confirm the genre because I wasn't sure if it was meant to be a comedy or if it just had a bad script. Thankfully, it is a comedy!
The series is incredibly over-the-top with everything. For instance, I couldn't stop laughing at the bathtub placed in a shallow wading pool in the first episode. The dynamic between the characters is also entertaining; Peach acts as the voice of common sense, while Thee is an unoriginal "drama king."
Overall, it’s a great show if you need a happy pick-me-up, though I likely wouldn't add it to my re-watch list.
I’d give it a personal rating of 7/10.
While the pairing was good, I felt the intimate connection fell a bit short as they got closer, perhaps due to the rom-com format.
My favorite part was the final episode where Pond sings; his vocals are beautiful. I’ve actually been looking up his and Phuwin’s music on YouTube to add to my playlist.

Goofy Love Story
Man I wish this drama was longer!! I loved every second, every episode of this drama. I thought it was going to be more of a serious drama with the whole mafia family aspect but it truly was just a goofy love story and I loved it just as much.PondPhuwin does it again! Their chemistry is unmatched, I swear with every new drama they just keep getting better and better. The yearning in this was so good, I loved just how in LOVE with Peach Thee was it was so perfect. The way they balanced each other so perfectly was *chefs kiss* Peach continuously bringing Kian back down to earth and Thee providing that safety and security Peach always needed was soooo good.
Side couple time, I am biased as the biggest PerthSanta fan that the fact that they were in this drama just added points for me, and of course WilliamEst kills it again!! Both side pairings already have so much chemistry it was just the perfect casting. I do however wish that both couples got more screen time cause we never really got to fully delve into their stories and relationships. All the more reason to hope for a second season.
This drama had be giggling and straight up laughing out loud every episode. They are all so cute but like Pond is so funny in this, the fact that everyone said that he just plays himself I just love that so much cause Kian was just so sweet I literally made only 1 note while watching and it was "I love Pond so much and his goofy, dorky smitteness like ughhhh Khun Thee GREEN Flag"
I love that this truly was just like a fun fluffy love story, there wasn't any major conflicts, I wasn't stressed through episodes waiting for them to resolve. Just so so good I will definitely be rewatching!

Rich, Cringe, and Charming
Me and Thee is one of those projects where I can confidently say I liked it as a whole, even if it knew exactly what kind of chaos it wanted to be. It is the perfect mix of too much and a little too much, wrapped into one very self aware package.Cringe? Yes.
Funny? Definitely.
Lovable? Somehow, yes.
Rich? Extremely.
To be fair, the only PondPhuwin project I have watched before this was We Are, so most of my comparisons naturally come from there. And compared to that, Me and Thee feels lighter, louder, and far less serious. The plot itself is nothing new. Pond’s character is rich in money, Phuwin’s character is rich in love, mainly coming from his sister. You already know the dynamic going in, and surprisingly, you do not really mind it as the episodes go by.
The only thing that really made me roll my eyes was the mafia angle. Once again, a “rich family with mafia ties” storyline was introduced and handled in the most predictable way possible. If they truly want to push that kind of backstory, then they really need to study how it is done properly. At this point, the mafia element felt more like decoration than an actual threat or narrative driver.
That said, Pond looked like he genuinely enjoyed this project. He felt more relaxed here than in We Are, more smiley, more playful, and that energy carried through the screen. His reactions whenever Phuwin goes full lovey dovey were genuinely funny, and I can see why viewers gravitated toward that. Phuwin, on the other hand, remains a solid actor. He has consistently strong moments, and his chemistry with Pond is undeniably natural. They balance each other well, and that chemistry is one of the drama’s strongest points.
If you break the drama down to its core, it is about a rich, awkward, slightly cringey businessman who believes money can move mountains (which I think Khun Thee does, because he tried to move Peach's house, pun intended), yes Khun Thee really does live up to his name, falling for a photographer fresh out of a breakup. And honestly, that concept alone already ticks most of the boxes. That is the show. Everything else feels secondary.
However, I do think the production company still struggles with writing something that is both entertaining and cohesive. This is not a new issue, and you can see traces of it in their previous projects as well. The ideas are there, but the execution often feels messy.
WilliamEst deserves a mention too. They were fun to watch, and it was refreshing to see a different side of Est after ThamePo. William’s yearning expressions alone could convince anyone, so it is no surprise Mok gave in. Performance wise, they were good, with moments that really stood out, similar to Phuwin.
At its heart, Me and Thee is a comedic disaster in the best way possible. You laugh at Khun Thee owning GMMTheeV. You laugh at his innocence, his stupidity at times, and how ridiculously lovesick he becomes. You laugh simply because he exists. That is what carried the drama. Everything else followed after.
This is another GMMTV drama that people will either find entertaining, just okay, or completely unwatchable. I fall into the entertained category. It is not perfect, and seriously, stop adding mafia plots if you are not going to commit to them. But the fluff and the cringe overshadow most of its flaws. Still, I hope future projects give PondPhuwin more substance because they are good actors who deserve better material. Underutilized, yes, but in this case, I was entertained.

Review: "Me and Thee" – A Balance of Emotion and Untapped Potential
I don’t claim to be a professional TV critic, but after finishing "Me and Thee", I felt compelled to share my thoughts on this Thai series, which left me with a mix of admiration and a few "what ifs."Overall, the series is truly beautiful. The first round of applause must go to the cast: Pond and Phuwin have shown incredible artistic growth. Their ability to fully embody their characters made every emotion feel tangible. In particular, Phuwin’s portrayal of Peach’s past was so poignant that it moved me to tears on several occasions.
The narrative pacing was also a pleasant surprise. The story doesn’t feel rushed; it allows events the necessary time to unfold naturally, which is not always a given in these productions. Furthermore, the comedic touch brought by Thee (Pond) is a breath of fresh air, keeping the plot from feeling monotonous or repetitive.
Despite its strengths, I can’t give the series a top-tier rating for a few reasons. While the potential was enormous, the execution of the story felt a bit thin in places. I would have appreciated:
• A deeper dive into the psychology of certain characters.
• More plot twists to heighten the stakes.
• A few more episodes to allow the subplots to breathe.
Because of this, my attention often shifted toward the secondary couples. I found myself wanting more of their storyline, and I’m hopeful that they might get more screen time in potential special episodes.
In conclusion, "Me and Thee" is definitely worth a watch, especially for the incredible performances of the leads. I certainly recommend it, but with a word of advice: go in without overly high expectations regarding the complexity of the plot, and simply enjoy the emotional journey.
Rating: 7.5 / 10

silly, impropable and deliously sublime at times
I am a fan of Pond and Phuwin. But wasn't prepared for Pond going out on a limb like this! He is delightful and handles the over the top comedy quite well. They just click no matter what the material (and this is pretty darn good, with some minor glitches) and there is an ease now between them and the camera. I didn't know I needed a fairy tale like this, but it sure made the world a less darker place.Yes, side characters are given short shrift, especially when they are using BL actors of such calibre. The Mafia thing is a red herring and nothing really bad ever happens...even the Mafia father is....well no need to spoil that plot line.
So enjoy the sweet ride and binge on a weekend. I did as the snow was swirling outside my window but it was warm and happy in my home. Think its time to go back and rewatch NEVER LET ME GO, again!

At least the first half was a good time!
I was prejudiced against this show because of its mafia boss premise for the longest time, and people’s reviews highlighting the cheesy lakorn-inspired flirting weren’t convincing me to give it a chance. However, I found myself scrolling through the GMMTV catalogue on a day with nothing particular to do, and this was the only show with relatively good reviews I hadn’t watched. Also, the mention it earned itself in Head 2 Head alongside the general hype surrounding it (which seems to have resulted in the sequel “Peach and me”?) were all the more reasons to put on an episode.And just like that one episode became two, two became three, and I was hooked.
I actually had no issue with the cheesy flirting and the out-of-touch mafia boss lead. I even found the dynamic Thee and Peach had very enjoyable to watch, at least in the beginning. Even the cringe moments (that were definitely there) did not result in as much second-embarrassment as I imagined they would. I really enjoy shows depicting class differences and how such are navigated in relationships, so I was living for every single moment in which Peach told Thee off. It seemed to me that Thee was also improving up until they labelled each other boyfriends. Then it all went downhill.
For one, as soon as they established some sort of (shaky) common ground, the fun back and forth they had almost disappeared. Thee continued with his rich antics from the beginning of the show, and Peach would simply shake his head and only intervene when things really crossed his boundaries. Their relationship was elevated, but their chemistry didn’t go anywhere - this show had some of the worst kisses and intimate scenes I’ve seen, so when the proposal eventually came, I was completely flabbergasted. Nothing I had seen on screen so far suggested the emotional and physical closeness I would expect from a couple about to get married. In general, I had somewhat of a hard time believing Peach was just as into Thee as much as Thee was into him. The development of his feelings was mostly believable until he opened up about his childhood trauma in the hospital, but after that, other than Thee pampering him and saving his life once, what other reason did Peach have to love him?
Thee barely changed as a character. Sure, he got a taste of Peach’s normal life, he made a compromise or two, but in the end of the day, he didn’t have to give up anything to be with Peach. Peach not only had to give up his safety (for a time being, apparently everything was fine after the Japanese company left the country. What?), he also had to completely change his lifestyle, obey to Thee to show his love (bathe him, brush his teeth, literally what the fuck), commit to a marriage like, what, one month into the relationship AND he even got children in the end of this all? I would’ve much rather preferred Thee ruining his relationship with his family, exposing the negative sides of being this rich and therefore constantly in danger, eventually choosing to move in with Peach and have a peaceful and normal life with him.
Speaking of Thee and his perfume business: is he a mafia boss in the end or not? The money laundering allegations of ARSENI were rejected, and sure, he used money to get his way, but the show also constantly insisted on him doing things (mostly) lawfully. So why did Peach keep calling him a “mafia boss” if even his own father said he did everything better than him, and why was there a fucking gun on that wedding poster? I mean, if I have to be very real, no such amount of wealth is accumulated in lawful ways and without human exploitation, but if the show wanted to portray Thee as a “good rich person”, it should’ve at least stayed consistent with the ways not only Peach, but also everyone else talks about him.
Also, if love was such a big deal for the Lee family, then why did Peach have 0 issues with proving himself? The show set up this conflict to be way more important than it actually ended up being. That, combined with the nothing burger resolution of the rivalry with the Japanese company, made for a really unsatisfying ending. Not to fall into clichés, but it would’ve been 10 times better if something bad had happened to Peach or Thee and they had to confront the fact that, ultimately, they couldn’t keep their promise to ensure the other one’s safety at all times.
On the good side, Mok’s character was iconic, and Est is just perfect for that role (and not only because he looks damn good in those glasses). I really enjoyed watching his reactions to Thee’s actions, as well as his inner conflict between being his friend and his employee, and between prioritising his feelings for Rome and staying professional. That was a great touch to the story. I would’ve loved to know more about how the romance between him and Rome bloomed - was it a childhood crush that carried on? A drunken hookup on one of Mok’s days off that he still regrets to this day? What did Mok like about Rome? Considering the big role Mok had in the show, I would’ve loved to see more of his perspective on things (but maybe we are going to get this in “Peach and me”?).
For good or for bad, I am tuning in for the sequel. If this show has anything going for it, it’s interesting characters. If you expect crazy chemistry, this one is not for you - Peach is like a dead fish in all intimate scenes, and his feelings for Thee seem unbelievable until the very end. Also, if you want to watch something more critical of the rich and capitalism in general, don’t even think about starting this one. “Me and Thee” was a fun time, but the longer one thinks about its contents, the more one realises they are the result of pure brainrot (maybe similarly to Thee, the screenwriters had AI assisting them…)
