*clutches forehead*
when will this streak break? the last six titles i have watched have all been lacking in one way, another, or in basically everything. this one is no different so much that i am not even sure i can finish the last episode.i planned to watch peach and me but then came across that this was the prequel. i was excited and yearning for the BL that would finally hit me like my top three [sigh]. i need to temper my expectations because this is getting downright ridiculous.
i have several things to say about this title. to preface, there is no reason why any thai BL should have mediocre intimate scenes or even actors. my first critique is pond & phuwin SUCK at kissing. i am not sure if it was either or but with how long it took for peach and thee to kiss, i thought their first kiss would knock me out [sigh]. their first kiss was so boring. all of their subsequent kisses were also boring ! it looked like pond was kissing a brick wall doppelganger in human skin. their relationship was like that of roommates who did not live together and were sometimes intimate; not even friends with benefits :'] peach never reacted to all of the actual romantic things thee said to him. was this a deliberate choice? i do not know if it was phuwin or peach but the nearly blank face for all of the serious scenes with thee could have figuratively killed me. i truly felt like it was pond pushing all the weight as though the ratio was ninety:ten. the chemistry was not there and there were not enough intimacy scenes.
in the last six things i have watched, this had the best pacing [thank goodness] albeit the burn was slow as hell. at this point, i do not feel any burn with the characters since i see them as some bastardization of non-roommates with benefits on layaway. nonetheless, i do appreciate that the pursuit took awhile and that peach's character should be awarded for being one of the most healthy of all time in BL [he upheld boundaries so well too]. i am glad that thee respected peach and changed his behavior to accommodate his comfort. otherwise, thee is a red flag but with his background, it makes sense.
[sigh] the second to last episode, peach prohibited being proposed to then was okay with it by the last? i wish i could beg to cosmos the stop pissing me off with marriage proposals that are nonsensical. first off, my interpretation was that sometime had passed based on what thee said in episode ten though it matters not [unless production chooses to be explicit with timeline indicators]. peach and thee never spoke of expectations, desires, compromises nor lived together longterm - how in the f could they get married? nothing about their love or marriage convinced me either were authentic. i beg you BL professionals, please stop with this. also, wtf was the marriage proposal? thee never even asked directly nor did peach respond but he put the ring on anyway? why sway? 😭 i cringed all of episodes nine and ten.
thee seemed to be incredibly romantic and thoughtful. his character did develop but not enough. what he did at the end of episode ten for the children astounded me but i question some of the intention. i question it because he self-labeled himself to them but still acted as infantile as he was before he and peach began dating. i do not like this as a plot device at all.
the following are the rest of the issues i noted that had me head-shake, close my eyes in frustration, or hold my head in agony:
● episode one - a microphone is left in final aired recording [i was shook]
● episode three - fake ass violin playing left in the final recording [this had to be a prank]
● there was an episode with scenes that did not transition properly and were confusing
● the fake kissing sounds and they would be engaged before the leads were actually kissing
● aran getting back together with tawan [guess they had to offset the healthy dynamics with toxic BS nonsense]
● peach repeated why thee watched his mother's dramas as if were new information to the viewer + thee [this was a gag]
● aran suddenly wearing a cap and glasses after asking thee to speak in the following scene even though he had no cap and glasses prior
● peach and thee did not kiss at their reception. they barely kissed at the end of the wedding night. they can no longer afford privacy
some of the choices made in these BL have me questioning if i could make a better one than all of these industries and career professionals WHO GO TO SCHOOL FOR THIS. thailand is the most prominent country in terms of the BL market, as far as i know, there really should not be goofs, errors, blips, bad acting, horrible NC scenes, etc. it feels inexcusable to me when stars apparently are being robbed by most companies taking nearly all of the profits.
to conclude, i do not think i will be watching peach and me.

It's a nice watch but..
I just got kind of bored after the first half....felt like it was just monotonous.I definitely laughed a lot, which is a plus.
I am a fan and have watched all their (pondphuwin) shows but I felt like this one lacked in chemistry a little, it was giving me more awkward, less 'feet kicking in the air'
AranTawan storyline was just so poorly written, I found myself being annoyed with them a lot
Overall it was good, couldn't finish it but it's still on my watchlist I'll probably get around to finishing it in a few weeks.

The one who completely steals the show is K’Thee. The character development was flawless. The dramatic lines, the over-the-top behavior, Pond delivered an absolute masterclass in acting and keeps proving he’s one of the best Thai actors out there. And Phuwin? He’s right up there too. Peach is the safe, genuine intimacy Thee needs, and their interactions allow both characters to grow, mature, and change the way they see the world. Pond and Phuwin were simply outstanding. Their chemistry is always real, natural, and deeply human. You can’t help but fall in love with their characters.
By the end of every episode, my inner fangirl was in full-on bliss. I laughed out loud, cried my eyes out, felt every emotion possible and still finished each episode with a happy smile and a warm, light heart. That said, I urgently need the stories of Mok & Rome, Tawan & Aran, and the married life (and parenthood!) of K’Thee and Peach!!! Super, mega, absolutely recommended.
PS: I loved how GMMTV wasn’t afraid to poke fun at itself and do a bit of self-promo during the series. That kind of playful vibe was perfect. But sorry, P’Tha… from now on, I only watch GMMTheeV 😉

Fluff over Plot
This is a story about the really scary rich guy who became a real softy once he fell in love... there is not much plot, no a lot going on, the few moments of drama that do occur are highly fleeting and do very little to forward the (non existent) plot.HOWEVER
There are several pretty decent characters, cute smiles and gazes between some of the sides no one is truly annoying and there is a sweet brain off, opposites attract, Oblivious meets exccentic/oblivious feel to it that kind of works. But honestly every thin in this feels a bit secondary and slightly unnecessary as this drama has one real thing, and one thing only and that Thee is Eccentric and sweet, and so in love it is adorable. He has the most adorable puppy eye look and can go from bad ass mafia boss to Golden Retriever and back to A mffia boss in 30 seconds or less.. He is the appifanny of so in love he does not know what to do with himself and that is what makes this drama an ok watch...
The story itself is mediocre at best.

Fake Gangster, Pure Cringe: A Disappointing Review of Me and Thee
Rather than leaning into an engaging crime or action plot, the script dives heavily into standard romantic comedy tropes. Just like other overly silly BL shows, Me and Thee is packed with intense second-hand embarrassment. The dialogue is cheesy, and Thee's dramatic flair feels like he is trapped inside an old-school soap opera. The endless sweet, childish antics feel incredibly forced, turning what could have been a cool, mature action-romance into a festival of cringe that is hard to sit throughUltimately, Me and Thee is a 4/10 experience because it completely fails to deliver on its premise. A bad boy gangster romance would have been infinitely better than what we actually got. Instead of a thrilling mafia dynamic, the series serves up a soft, cringey rom-com where the tough guy is anything but tough.

Its a hilarious series.
Been a fan of PondPhuwin ever since Never let me go(a series ahead of its time),i must say i am enjoying this drama quite a lot.This drama really brings out their strengths as a pair.....Despite the cringeness of Khun Thee (Ponds' character) you get used to it just as Peach(Phuwin) does coz you get to understand them both.Also having watched the pre-lease episode that had abit of behind the scenes and interviews of the cast you get to understand why Pond is really shinning in this role, apparently thats how he is in real life.Knowing that this project was presented to them just after they were done with We are and both of them were in agreement for it,shows they have confidence in their acting and with each other.Although i must say in future Phuwin better look out for a project that won't have him potrayed 'artsy' because if we get used to him in search roles we won't get to see much of his versatility.In Never Let me go he was rich kid who knew what he wants and was confident with himself,in We Are he was an art student whilst in this project he is a photographer...which give him a chill cool vibe.Fish Upon the stars was their one series i couldn't finish,it wasn't just working it for me.I do hope it ends on a high note coz we're on episode 6 and its just the beginning of their dating era while its just has 10 episodes.Was this review helpful to you?
A perfect show!
just finished the last episode of this series and safe to say, it's one of the best shows ever produced by gmmtv!! the cast, storyline, cinematography.. everything was soo perfect!! a beautiful romcom with characters that stay with you for a long long time. every actor did a great job but I have to say, pond and phuwin were absolutely amazing. they've have improved so much, it's nice to watch them grow. imo no one could have portrayed theepeach better than them! this show really made my saturdays so much better. I'll miss you, me and thee <3Was this review helpful to you?

A gentle drama that truly stays with you.
I absolutely love Me and Thee! Every episode had me completely hooked. The story is simple but so heartfelt, and the actors are amazing—their chemistry makes every scene feel so real, warm, and genuine. I felt every emotion along with them, laughing, smiling, and sometimes tearing up. The cast is fantastic, and the whole drama is just so comforting, enjoyable, and a gentle drama that truly stays with you. Definitely one of my favorites!Was this review helpful to you?

WHAT A LEGENDARY SERIES!!!
WE JUST HIT A 9 AND THIS SERIES ABSOLUTELY DESERVES EVERY BIT OF IT!!GMMTV ate with this series! From start to end, there's not one boring scene. All the actors aced their role fr, the music, background effects, everything was on point.
For the people who feel that this series is over dramatic or exaggerated, well that's the whole point. Thee's character is supposed to be funnily cringe to an extent and that's what this series was about.
Loved the ending. This is the best end gmmtv gave us in any series and PondPhuwin are finally married after 4 series 😂

I would 100% watch it again!
It's been a while since I had this many 'feet kicking' moments! (in a good way)From the very first episode, I was absolutely hooked!
Thees character was an absolute goofball and I loved it! Like Phuwin said, I guess Pond was basically playing himself...you could feel jis energy in every word and it was clear, that he enjoyed playing it!
The series was a good mix between comedy, romance and drama! An absolute masterpiece!
Not to mention- The ending had me bursting into tears of laughter!
"GMM Thee V" and the cut scenes? Pure Gold!
already told some friends, that they HAVE TO watch it...100%
over all - loved the casting, the story and the production quality!
10/10 would DEFINITELY recommend!
