Me and Thee

what was the point…

honestly, I feel like this was one of the few BL’s that I’ve watched that was kind of a waste of time… the story was just so all over the place and rushed and unfinished I really don’t even understand what the point of the whole story was… If the moral of the story was “money can’t buy everything“, then that wasn’t really proven because Thee literally just bought everything anyway except for Peach and in the end Peach just ended up dealing with Thee acting that way instead of setting a true boundary or leaving him… If this was just supposed to be a story showing the love between two people, then it also failed there since it really didn’t show either of the main characters growing in any way or proving that having each other in their lives was an improvement.

it seemed like there were decent bones to the story, but the whole mafia plot was so confusing. I didn’t even realize they weren’t in the mafia until the ninth episode… if they wasn’t in the mafia, why did they have so many bodyguards and a personal one at that… Someone who was literally trained to protect Thee at all costs?!?? if they weren’t actually in the mafia, what would be the reason for that… If the family is so overprotective, they really didn’t show that either because the “rules” the parents were enforcing were dropped so easily? What was the reason of even having those rules if they didn’t even matter in the first place and they were going to be disregarded so easily… The parents didn’t even try to put up a fuss, so what was the point of the rules at all… I know they had trauma because of the robbing? that happened at the birthday party, but then where was the trauma for the birthday party that peach threw for them? And if they aren’t even mafia, why the hell were they robbed? Was it just a random occurrence or are they actually mafia and I’m just dumb? Nothing about that plot line is clear at all

and the trauma that Peach and Plub had to go through during their childhood also never came back up again, even though it was something so intense… You’d think so closely experiencing your parents death would be something that occurs in your mind more than a few times over the course of several months, but maybe Peach and Plub had some really good therapy that we didn’t see in the show LOL especially since it was shown several times that peach visits the orphanage where they lived so obviously this is a very important thing for him, but it’s never really brought up in any bonding kind of way with the children or even just daily stress from the trauma.

Don’t even get me started on the side stories… they were either completely pointless as well or just dropped before they even got solved. Tawan/Aran relationship was just so goofy and also only padded the plot to give Thee a reason to be jealous of Peach. Mok/Rome literally didn’t even get an ending… dude just got fired!!??!?? and then what… Literally nothing happened to them because the last episode was so rushed and a big huge nothing burger… I almost forgot about that random guy in the first few episodes who was trying to get back at Peach because Thee literally just paid for him to be gone instead of showing more than one situation that causes Peach distress, helping to prove the moral of the story is not “money can’t buy everything”… they really didn’t even show a great relationship between Plub and Peach because I have a similar relationship with my sibling and of course, not every relationship is the same, but as someone who loves their sibling to death, I didn’t really feel that true sibling love, especially since they are so trauma bonded… again just me personally there, but only a few times I really believed they were tight siblings and one of them was the literal trauma bonding in their childhood LMAO

also not as much of a big thing, but I did not feel the chemistry between the main leads in this show. Maybe it’s because the director didn’t direct them very well but I’ve watched FUTS and We Are and their chemistry was very good, despite such bad stage kissing LOL, but here I could barely tell that Peach even liked Thee and Thee just acted like a child the whole time and ended up getting his way no matter what so it seemed like neither of them really wanted to be there in the first place. It didn’t even seem like Peach wanted to get married, especially since in the ninth episode Peach said he didn’t want to get proposed to, but then he was just okay with getting proposed to next ep LMAO!!

I never write reviews for anything and I probably won’t unless I watch another show this poorly written, but really the only other show I’ve watched that made me feel so crazy when looking at all the 10 star reviews was “theory of love“, but that was because the whole show was basically gun being assaulted and treated so bad that it left a nasty taste in my mouth, not necessarily because it was written so poorly… really no offense to anybody, but I personally did not find any part of the show other than maybe the first three episodes to be worth the watch and I was really looking forward to something good happening in the show since, like I said, there were good bones for this show. Maybe if there was a different writer or director or maybe different main leads the show could’ve been something, but it was nothing burger Central. thanks for coming to my TED talk

RomCom done right!

I rate this series a 10 simply because I super enjoyed it, and ultimately, that is what matters most when we watch a drama. However, beyond just my personal enjoyment, there are very real reasons why this show deserves its success. Many people dismiss romantic comedies as light or superficial, but this series is a masterclass in the genre.

I know they changed some things from the novel, but these changes are exactly what allowed the show to feel so grounded and current. Sometimes, what works on the page needs to be adjusted to capture the right chemistry on screen. By focusing more on the simple, pure connection between Thee and Peach rather than sticking strictly to every detail of the book, the creators were able to highlight the emotional honesty of their relationship. These adjustments didn't take away from the story but they made the love feel more direct and the comedy feel more alive.

There is a common misconception that a plot must be complex or heavy to be "good." Personally, I do not mind a plot that some might call shallow if it is built on comedy and joy. Not every story needs to be a dark drama to have value. The energetic humor and lighthearted antics in the show provide a sense of levity that is often missing from more serious series. This style of storytelling allows the audience to relax and enjoy the journey without being weighed down by unnecessary gloom. It stays grounded by focusing on the fun, chaotic reality of two different worlds colliding.

Most importantly, the world needs more stories that celebrate simple love. We are often overwhelmed by dramas filled with heavy obstacles, traumatic backstories, and a thousand complex reasons why two people cannot be together. This show stands out because it focuses on a pure connection that does not need a complicated justification. It is a story about two people who simply find happiness in each other. This kind of effortless affection is beautiful, proving that LOVE DOES NOT ALWAYS HAVE TO BE A STRUGGLE TO BE MEANINGFUL.

Thank you Peach and Thee for your story!

Pond alone

An alright comedy with small excursions into musical territory, "Me and Thee" fails as a BL – mostly due to poor writing and weak performances of most of its principal cast. The only notable exception is Pond, who proves to have a knack for comedy and carries the show alone, which saves it from failing entirely.

Pond’s previous performances in BLs – "Fish Upon The Sky" (FUTS), "Never Let Me Go" (NLMG) and "We Are" – were pretty bad. Only in FUTS I bought him as a guy attracted to another guy; he was mostly wooden n NLMG and "We Are" and gave the vibe of a straight person clueless how to portray an LGBTQ character. It is a little different here, since Thee’s detachment from reality is his most prominent feature (and only feature for almost the entire show) obscuring everything else – hence his sexuality is, at best, unclear. Why did Thee want to sleep with Aran, an employee of his company? No idea, but is seems to be because of plot, as Thee and Peach needed a confrontation to kick off their relationship. Thee’s pursuit of Peach – full of daydreaming, imagined singing (which was pretty good, actually) as well as extraordinary, grand gestures and ridiculous actions – seems genuine mainly because Theerakit Kian Lee is such a larger-than-life figure (and Pond’s overacting is spot on in this case). This also frees the show from answering some basic questions, like why would Thee fall for Peach: he is crazy and over-the-top, so he does crazy and over-the-top things, like falling for a stranger who prevented him from getting what he wanted. Even if the entirety of the series proves that this is completely out of character for Thee (he sulks or gets annoyed every time something does not go his way, but he is not falling in love with people who thwart or oppose him), the show gets a pass because this is funny. It is the series in a nutshell: the comedy works, everything else does not.

The main reasons "Me and Thee" fails as a BL are the way Peach is written and portrayed as well as lack of chemistry between Pond and Phuwin.
I will not dwell on that last issue, as it is up to every viewer what they perceive as chemistry between performers, actors or characters (there are plenty of examples of BL ships which have amazing chemistry on and off screen – but only according to their fans). Last time I saw some chemistry between Pond and Phuwin was in FUTS – and that is my take on it.
The other two reasons are intertwined. First of all, Phuwin in "Me and Thee" is the straightest I have seen him in anything. Furthermore, for the longest of time Peach is presented as a straight character. He is established in-show as such – we see his past relationships and all of them were with women. More importantly: he is not interested in Thee, neither romantically nor physically. When he finally comes out and claims to have feelings for Thee, it falls flat and feels phony. There is a trope I noticed in some BLs: love/relationship out of pity (as well as fear of being loved out of pity). I do not recall encountering it in real life or in non-BLs, so I could never fully understand what it is about or how it would work – until now. Phuwin’s Peach is a candidate for being with someone not because of love, physical attraction or any other reason (including money, convenience or other selfish reasons), but because of feeling pity for that person. Both the contrived writing as well as Phuwin’s performance point to that: a boring guy (another trait the show specifically attributes to Peach – and Phuwin confirms it with a bland performance) who got dumped by all women he was with, meets someone infatuated with him, someone so delusional that he finds Peach to be the greatest thing ever. When Peach acknowledges that, he does not feel love for Thee, he pities him instead – at least that is how I read it.

This is where the show could deploy its two side couples to at least save its BL aspect – even at the risk of getting infected with the "multiple couples syndrome". It could, but it does not – and yet the risk sort of materializes. First problem with side couples in "Me and Thee" is that only one of them – Tawan (Perth) and Aran (Santa) – is an actual couple. Second problem: all side couple characters either have an incidental impact on the main story (Aran) or have zero impact (Rome, Mok, Tawan) and could have been replaced with anyone (Aran) or removed entirely (the other three) and the main storyline would not be affected. Third problem: Tawan and Aran have a toxic, on-off relationship (Perth – for the third time in a GMMTV BL – portrays a scumbag; Santa – again – portrays a weakling incapable of setting boundaries) which is allowed to continue – sending the worst possible message. With other words: the supporting couples are not doing their job as supports. What they do instead is stealing bits of screen time for their own subplots, separate from the main plot and leading nowhere; the Tawan-Aran subplot even gets its own subplot with Touch (ineptly portrayed by Tee). All of that is filler (the main plot is short on content) and fanservice.

My last complaint is setting-related. Thee is an heir to a mafia family with more money than god, living in constant danger, requiring permanent protection by a squad of armed bodyguards, separated from his parents for security reasons etc. etc. With all that one could expect that some sort of mafia-related danger will become an obstacle for Thee and Peach becoming a couple – but nothing like that happens. The Lee family has specific rules to prevent it from becoming vulnerable to rival families; one of those rules is that love is forbidden. Again, with a setup like this one could expect that Thee’s parents will be against his relationship with Peach – but they are fully supporting it from the get-go. Wiwid, a photographer and rival of Peach – so not a mobster nor criminal – turns out to be more dangerous than everything mafia-related. The whole mafia thing is a dud. At the end of the day the only actual obstacle for the main couple was Peach’s indifference towards Thee. This is also the reason why the main storyline feels so short on content (it is) and plot progresses so slowly – the show could be over after 3 episodes if Peach was interested in Thee.

The show’s soundtrack consists of four songs: "แค่คนขี้เหงา (Me And You)" by Phuwin and Pond, which is serviceable, but not memorable, "ไม่มีคำว่ามากไป (Everything is for you)" by Pond, "Love’s Eye View" by Phuwin, by far the best part of the OST, sounding like something Nanon would sing, and "บอกธีร์ (One Word)" by Pond, in-show used in ep. 10; what surprised me was that "บอกธีร์ (One Word)" was released on GMMTV Records – I thought it was made for laughs. All but "ไม่มีคำว่ามากไป (Everything is for you)" have visually interesting MVs actually worth watching. What I did not get was that William – GMMTV’s best singer and one of just a handful of actual singers of that company – did not perform any part of the OST. How so?

As for my rating of "Me and Thee": it was supposed to be a rom-com, and since it fails in the romance department, but succeeds as a comedy, a rating in the middle of the scale is appropriate. Same for performances: Pond’s good and genuinely funny portrayal of Thee balanced the bland (Phuwin, Est) and weak (Santa, Perth) performances of other cast members. Also, William’s part in "Me and Thee" was too small to help the show and improve the acting rating. Like with other PondPhuwin BLs (except maybe FUTS) I seriously doubt I will watch it again.

Perfect The(e) End!

I began watching PondPhuwin dramas last year, and every time I’ve watched one of their dramas, I ended up in tears. They have insane chemistry. This drama was no different. Pond really pulled off the simp role perfectly. I never thought I’d be writing a review for this, but the last episode was something I wish to never forget.
THE SONG, THE PROPOSAL, THE WEDDING I was screaming through all of it! Marn and Mok being adopted by Kian was such a beautiful addition to the story. Mok being fired by Kian so he could finally live a normal life really brought tears to my eyes. He was my favorite character in this drama. He never abandoned Kian and always supported him no matter what.
I still can’t believe I just watched the last episode. My Saturdays might not be as fun anymore, but I’ll definitely be watching their edits nonstop after this.

To me, it really was the perfect The(e) End!

Not bad but not good.

This started great, but somewhere along the way it got lost. The show kept setting up interesting plot lines and then not delivering.
Thee is supposed to be in lots of danger, to the point that he carries a giant gun all the time and has a security detail follow him 24/7. But then Peach is uncomfortable with all that, so Thee stops and that's it. That's the end of that plot.
Thee isn't allowed to fall in love, and doesn't want his father to know about Peach and this is set up as very serious, but when the father finds out, it's fine. All that buildup and the dad basically shrugs it off. There was the plot of the rival mafia guy and that was built up like it would be a big deal but it ended in two episodes and isn't ever brought up again. Perth and Santas characters pop up and then disappear randomly. We're shown a breakup scene which implies a lot of angst and unresolved problems within the relationship, then they just get back together. Towards the end Thee gets jealous and has to have the concept of jealousy explained to him, which I didn't understand because Thee was jealous over Santa's character previously.
Oh, and Peach reveals that he's never been with a man before. That's a big deal and it's presented in a serious tone.... and never mentioned again.
Anyway, I was waiting for Peach to start showing some affection for Thee but it didn't really happen? Thee was so obsessed with him and the whole show Peach seemed totally neutral. Even when he was proposed to he seemed lukewarm. It just feels like this had so much potential, with a lot of plots that should have been good, but none of them went anywhere.

Simple yet amazing

Peach, a photographer with no family other than his sister, runs into Thee, a rich businessman who owns the company Peach works for. What seems like a dramatic premise turns into a simple yet strong story of two people falling in love.

I highly enjoyed this drama. Peach is very down to earth and Thee is dramatic to the point that it becomes funny. The beginning of the series is the strongest as you can really see the difference between Peach and Thee and their lives. The two become more similar in the latter half as Peach accepts the luxurious life more and Thee becomes less extravagant. The whole series is great and 10 episodes is a perfect length in my opinion.

The side love story of Rome and Mork, and Tawan and Rane are both really weak. Neither see much screentime so it is not much of a negative. I would have loved more between Rome and Mork, because Mork is one of the most important characters in the story besides Peach and Thee.

Great 2026 watch

Short review= well done comedy, very few boring moments, character driven, great chemistry and story development. Really recommended, give it a go!

Lengthy version:

—PLOT—
It pretty much has everything one can ask for, including my niche favourite micro plots such as the rain scene.
I am so glad they kept the mafia thing low-key and therefore not over the top, action/stuns packed which, let’s be honest, risked making it a cringe show.
It pretty much still remains the centre of Thee’s life, but as a starting point for him to desire and try to be his own person and create his own path, which made it all much more interesting and mature.
The soap opera personality of Thee absolutely stole the show. Loved how they did not force it to be just a chaotic comedy BL, but added different layers of the characters, their backstories and their development.
I laughed a lot, but unexpectedly also shed quite a lot of tears. Every time Peach got teary-eyed so did I (mostly on episode 6 and 7). Phuwin’s acting was nice but not mind-blowing, so I don’t really know why that happened. I guess I just really enjoyed how genuine Peach and Thee’s connection felt.
I do want to say though that the last episode was a bit disappointing, clearly the weaker one out of the whole series, but still it did not hinder my enjoyment that much.

—CHARACTERS—
Overall all well written, I was not expecting it at all. I kinda went in blind, so I also was not aware of the secondary couples, which I ended up not minding at all.

1. Aran and Tawan
Having previously watched “Love you teacher” I'm positively surprised by the actors’ versatility, seeing them portray a somewhat toxic couple dynamic.
In particular, Santa’s acting stuck with me, especially the constant changes in expression reflecting Aran’s complicated feelings for Tawan, his love and worry and then the immediate fear and disappointment (referencing episode 8). All of which were done seamlessly mirroring his great understanding of the character.
I don’t necessarily agree on, nor was expecting their ending to be like that, but still I guess it is in a way an opportunity for both to grow and all.

2. Mok and Rome
Haven’t seen any of their projects before this, but honesty I really enjoyed Est’s performance as Mok. His yearning, maturity and especially (mild spoiler) the short scene in which he got emotional talking about Rome’s family and future. The teary look had me impressed.

3. Last but not least, Thee and Peach
Pond and Phuwin did a good job in my opinion portraying their characters. Thee I’d say is my favourite character without a doubt, funniest character ever, but still very in touch with his emotions and self-aware. I overall Liked Peach being a soft-spoken, kindhearted and rational character.
At first, I did think Peach talked to Thee as if he was a child, but I guess that can be interpreted as the whole point of the start of their relationship, with Peach not taking Thee’s goofy personality and attention seriously.
I really enjoyed the development and subtle "found family" nuance of the story. The dynamic of peach realising he could really rely on Thee to take care of him and his sister was so heart-warming to see. Also Thee making both feel like children in a way, giving them the opportunity to be taken care of as they never truly were able to growing up having only each other.

My no.1 series.

I believe this is the best series from gmmtheev. I'm rewatching me and Thee because of the upcoming special episodes, first episode uploaded while I rewatched this series. If there is 1 series that is stuck in my head it is Me and Thee. Everything about this is amazing, making it one of my top series all time. I don't think there's anything I can hate. My first time watching was when this was airing and every new episode I had moments that I carried with me all week. I'm a big Narawin and this made me even more invested. Ever since it started airing till now I have been thinking about this on a daily base, so this is realllyyyy your sign to watch it. I even forced all my friends to watch it but many refused to... :(

Let me just start by the music and ost. The songs are fucking amazing. I love how they brought back แค่ในวันนั้น (Truth in the Eyes), the ost from We are the series. This song is one of my favourite songs. I lovedddd Thee and Peach dancing to it. One of the most romantic songs I know for sure. The music in Me and Thee is so good aswell. Especially the music for the special season. I'm not even joking I listened to the song 54 times in a week. Also I loveee Me and You.

What I LOVE about Me and Thee and a detail missed by non Thai speakers is the wordplay. Translated, the sentences from Thee are already very good and funny but in Thai they just hit diffferent. I LOVEEEE THEES SENTENCES. Like "Good night, stubborn one. Go to sleep early. Don't be stubborn with that pillow you rest your dreams upon" is stuck in my head 24/7. All of Khun thee's sentences are just fucking iconic. Like Lookpeach is also a word with a meaning. It just makes the series more affectionate and cute. I don't want to make this review to long by breaking down all of their sentences but I do suggest looking them up online and you'll find the deeper meaning in to their word. Also Tang sati Khun Thee is just amazing and I love that song in their Me and Thee after party. The dance was so funny.

What I loveee is to see WilliamEst as side characters. Est is made for Mok. His role as Po was already amazing and to be honest it somehow feels kinda similar to Mok. I feel really bad for Rome, but also for Thee. Both brothers feel like their whole personality it made up by themselves. To be honest, Rome feels more attached to his mom meanwhile to my opinion, it feels like Thee was a bit neglected because he was sent away from his family. Which explains his obsession with his mom's opera. William was also made for this role and he was the one who made me feel bad for both brothers. He is a different type emotional than Thee. Also Pond and William as brothers is just amazing. I also love to see Bonnie in this and I heard Emi is joining in those special episodes so that is gonna be amazing!! She played Lookplub so well and the relationship between her and Peachayarat is adorable.

Ok hear me out, Phuwin is sooo fucking handsome. He has always been but him as peach just.. I get Khun Thee. Like wdym you can be beautiful all fucking shots. I love his expressions to much and if I have 1 celeb crush it has to be Phuwin. His visuals are just sooooo peak ugh. Yes, I had to write a paragraph about it. His hair falls amazing each time. Also I love Pond with shorter hair. I love how he as Peach did Photografy, it somehow really suited him.

The shots in this serie is fucking amazing. Ofcourse X Nuttapong directed this, as the goat should. I love his work soooooo much. I like reading a lot but I never heard of laWila and I do wanna see more of her work. I will try to find it somewhere. Also Ako Supaporn together with Nichakorn produced this. I don't know anything about Nichakorn but I do really like Ako. Like alllll of her series are good, not even joking. The whole crew and actors are just perfect.

One of the plot things I missed while it was airing is that Peach was shooting for ARSENI... how stupid of me. Genuinely how did I miss that? I was really sleepy or something when I started watching this for the first time. The second time, I keep finding details I missed hahaha. One thing I stayed confused about was PerthSanta's storyline. Like yes, Tawan and Aran broke up but I was confused why and that stays the same. To my guess it was Tawan being extremely jealous of Aran and Peach but still... Tawan was btw a hugeee red flag and I lowkey enjoy it (guilty as charged). I have to say I feel bad for Tawan aswell like his jealousy is toxic, yes, but he was clearly feeling bad about everything.

I love seeing JJ and Godji in this!! I feel like both JJ and AJ were really busy last year (2025), they were basically everywhere. And I feel like most fans are also very familiar with Godji. I have to say Godji makes me feel happy each time seeing her. I love actual representation. She always plays the same type of roles but she is kind of like the one who makes me relieved each series. Also JJ is sooo iconic. Same as Godji, he has the same type of role each time and it makes me laugh fucking loud. And I mean it. I loved how he caught Thee and Peach as first it was soo funny.

Love how it's edited and the transitions of shots. The little sounds are soo funny and add a feeling aswell, it doesn't feel overdone. I like how they styled it, the colour pallets are everything. Especially the house from Thee, it's amazing. I'm obsessed with it.

Pond was madeeee for this role. I love how the series has clear Consent. Even when Khun Thee kisses Peach he asks for permission first. Pond is genuinely soo good in acting as Thee you can tell he is enjoying it in the behind the scene's and in the series itself. Khun thee's dramatic reactions on things Peach says is everything. I really like how Peach can change Thee's behaviour. Like Thee does something he doesn't like and Thee listens to Peach when Peach tells him to stop. That propose made me laugh like crazyyy but many other moments were funny as hell to. I love how Thee really thought he was gonna keep the size of Peach's finger for the ring in his pocket. It's like a Y/N story but the Y/N thinks the mafia boss is insane (which he is).

A bit about RomeMOk but the forbidden relationship between RomeMok really makes me sad. At the ending Mok was fired and he could finally be with Rome but the yearning... I have to say I do like Rome and Thee's parents, however, I don't like the rules they made. I just can't wait for more RomeMok.

I'm dying about the BTS I would never be able to do a straight face if I was acting in Me and Thee. Love seeing Parker in the series!! For those who don't know, the dog in episode 9 is Pond's dog. I love how Parker is actually from Pond, so he is familiar with Pond and to my guess also with Phuwin. Makes the stress of the dog lower aswell. Overall, again, my favorite series and I do give it a 10/10, no matter what. I bet that in a few years this will be cringe asf but that's what I like about it. Can y'all tell I'm a Narawin ahhhahha. I just love PondPhuwin sooo much and this series deserves like 10 more seasons.

Me and Thee EP1

It was so good....I've been waiting for the series since the pilot dropped last year and I'm so into it.. I love PondPhuwin but it's not just because of them that I am gonna watch this series. I love the story line, the plot, the music and above all the actor's role amd how they portray it so so well. I've read the novel before so I was not quite sure if the series will bring out the scene as good as the novel before but in reality the series is way better. It brings out the character's charm and more lively than the novel. I literally cried qhen I saw Phuwin in the first scene of the epi. For me it is and will be the best series...I enjoyed it so good. Hope everyone will enjoy the series too. 🫶🏻💞 and thank you and conngrats to the actors who played and nailed each roles and scenes 💝✨️

So bad that it feels disrespectful

Spoiler free review:
If you're thinking of watching it, don't. Or do. It really depends on how much time you have to waste and how much tolerance you have for foolishness. Cinematography & setting was good and everybody's makeup was TEA (the MUAs need a raise, IMMEDIATELY!). That's it for the pros. Everything else was absolute ass.

Spoiled review:
I've watched almost all of ppw's works together. FUTS was funny but flawed, NLMG sucked severely and We Are will always be one of my favourites. Now, being a fan of We Are, I'd expected that things could only get better from there. Boy, was I wrong. Me & Thee was a huge, steaming pile of disappointment. I don't know how they've managed to make almost every facet of a show grating. The characters were annoying and unlikeable at worst, irrelevant at best. Peach has got to be the most boring, "not like other guys" mfer on the face of planet earth. I hated having to endure him as the main lead. Bro is so righteous it just comes off as being really fcking annoying. Why are you, as a grown man, teaching another grown man social cues and respect? Don't piss me off. And Thee. Dear god what a disaster of a man. His character sounded fun in theory but was incredibly under-baked. Pond's acting was stiff and over done so Thee became cringe, awkward and too much. And I know Thee is supposed to be all of those things but it felt incredibly forced. I've seen cringe characters done well in other shows, this was not one of those. Thee was cute and funny a few times but I mostly found myself cringing/getting irritated when he was on screen. And he constantly makes this stupid, "shy" smile that makes my skin itch every time. Add to that that he's supposed to be a domineering mafia boss when he's already giving a weak performance, and you get a very painful watching experience.
Santa didn't do too bad but Perth's performance was mid as usual. Their arc was actually kind of interesting until the writers decided to completely flip Tawan's personality when he lost all his money. If he was an asshole rich he's still gonna be an asshole poor. But I guess Aran's into poverty because he suddenly takes Tawan's weirdo ass back once he's destitute and pitiful. Yuck. Wouldn't it have been more interesting to see Tawan get a job and start to learn some hard lessons while Aran minds his business and finds happiness elsewhere? But I guess that would require too much depth to be poured into the plot.
Mok was meh. The judgemental body guard thing was a little amusing at first but got tired fast. Rome was irritating. Seeing him smirk made me want to pluck all the hair out of his damn head. Which sucks for my blood pressure because all he does is smirk. As a Westie. I hated what they did to William in this show. They slicked his hair back, put him in the most ill fitting dad suits I've ever seen and even worse- they confiscated his platforms. So now I have to watch this midget try and fail at being charming and all I can think about is how silly he looks. Sigh.

My next gripe- Absolutely no one had chemistry. Thee and Peach were so bad together I was recoiling in pain at their "romantic" scenes. I had to skip past their kiss scenes for fear of injuring myself because my brain was begging me to sink my fingers into my eyeballs so I wouldn't have to see this bs ever again. Not even my fave cp could save this foolishness. Somehow they managed to suck the chemistry out of WilliamEst and their scenes ended up just being cringe. And the lack of chemistry doesn't just go for the romantic couples. Plub and Peach were the least sibling-like siblings ever. They would've been more believable as distant cousins who only see each other for 30 mins every 5 years. They kept giving me scenes that were meant to show how close they are but all it did was make my skin crawl at the awkwardness.

My next issue: The lines. My god, the lines. Everyone's lines were so disjointed, unnatural and painfully cringe. These people will have your brain melting through your ears almost every time they speak.


So basically, Me and Thee is painfully cringe, awkward and worst of all- boring. It claims to be a comedy but I wasn't laughing. I could tell it was trying to be funny and that made it even worse. It takes itself far too seriously and clumsily attempts to dive into serious issues with laughable results. It's also a mafia show so you have to endure Pond, Est and William fail spectacularly at looking cool. Fortunately it only had 10 episodes because by the end I was genuinely angry. How dare gmmtv even think to put this hot, steaming pile of shit in front of viewer's faces? Bl fans will watch anything right? Why bother putting effort into creating something beautiful when you can drop a couple pretty boys in there, make them kiss and say some sappy words to each other and advertise your fcking dry ass looking cake snack thing. Everyone's performances sucked so bad that I'm starting to question why we need to keep seeing ppw together when it's disappointment after disappointment with them. Sure, I like looking at them but pretty faces can only go so far. I need substance. I got a peek of what they could be in We Are but my hopes were chewed up, swallowed, digested and shat out along with this waste of air time. Ppw needs to take a break from acting, sign up for acting classes and try to get more comfortable with each other. If they're just gonna keep churning out trash I'd rather they just keep it at this point.

A no-stakes comedy show doing its job

A very well produced series (especially for GMMTV standards), Me and Thee presents itself as an over the top, occasionally absurdist comedy without any meaningful plot points to explore, and overall it kinda gets the job done.

The main premise of the whole show, being the mafia boss falling in love with the "normal" guy, is just occasionally tackled, and during the end of the show, blatantly forgotten in favour of a more classic "rich guy VS poor guy" dynamic: while during the first couple of episodes Peach is legitimately scared of Thee, after a while the fact that he is, indeed, part of a criminal family is completely dismissed, creating a very odd elephant-in-the-room situation that finds no resolution. The Arseni brothers being prohibited from having a partner is another plot point which gets shrugged off in the end, making you wonder why Rome and Mok never got together if the scary mafia dad was indeed so forgiving. The Tawan-Aran part is also very problematic as a whole, sending a honestly dangerous message ("everyone needs another chance, even if you are violent and dangerous", apparently).
In the end, the show had no meaningful conflicts at all, a lacking which, in my opinion, made the whole thing kinda boring after a while (also, the episodes are way too long for them having nothing meaningful happening).

Plot holes aside, this series asks you to constantly suspend your disbelief, which pairs well with the over the top comedy. The whole thing is brought to life by the acting, especially Pond's: even though I didn't particularly like Thee as a character (most of his "romantic" behaviours regarding Peach are honestly nightmarish for me, but that's a personal opinion), it's undeniable that Pond had on his shoulders this entire production; Phuwin was also good, but Peach is such a plain and occasionally boring character that he didn't really have any chance to shine.

Overall, Me and Thee is a good enough show: didn't love it, didn't hate it, and sometimes that's all you gonna get from a show.

Nothing of substance

<< major spoilers! only read if you've already finished!!>>


Production and acting are great. Actors did their best with the script given. Great sets and video quality.

But there is absolutely no plot. A whole lot of nothing happens besides some shallow romance in my opinion. I kept expecting there to be some stakes or action due to Mr. Thee being a dangerous mob boss with guns and body guards, but there was only like one scene where his life is threatened (for reasons i still don't really understand? but tbf i was skimming through at that point). They could have at least not had every conflict resolve in 0.2 seconds.

Guy tries to hurt Peach? Thee is there immediately.
Guy tries to hurt Thee? Of course they already knew and got him.
Dad doesn't approve of love? Meets Peach and is fine immediately, despite a lifetime of telling Thee that love is weakness or whatever?

Also Thee's mom seems really nice and supportive? But he just doesn't call her because he's embarrassed? weak explanation.

Peach falls for him because of Thee's supposed tragic backstory, which is growing up lonely and having a lot of danger in his life? but the danger is no where to be found. It made it hard for me to care at all about their relationship.

I honestly cared more about aran and tawan's relationship (perthsanta) because although they had stupid and underdeveloped conflict, was at least real and emotional and i could relate it to real life couples.

I burst out laughing when they got married. What? They've been dating for what seems like two weeks maximum. And the wedding gift is surprise i adopted two traumatized children that we now have to care for full time!

Another thing that kept really ruining the immersion and emotions was the fuckass music. They would randomly play like the worst montage music at completely inappropriate times.

I did have some good laughs (at the jokes but also at the terrible plot) and Pond did a great job as Thee. I know the show is supposed to be lighthearted and fun, so maybe i'm just not the right person for this.

(also wtf the opening of the show is Thee literally trying to sexually assault aran at gunpoint and we just like totally forget that? and peach is like whatever let me date him actually???)
