Me and Thee

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.

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.

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 💝✨️

Exaggerated, melodramatic, loudly romantic, and fully aware of it

Me and Thee arrives without asking for permission. It is exaggerated, melodramatic, loudly romantic, and fully aware of it. At a time when Thai BL often swings between dry realism and overly heavy drama, the series chooses a different path, embracing laughter, open affection, and emotional fantasy as its language. The result is a romantic comedy unafraid of being big, noisy, and sentimental, and it is precisely there that it finds its strongest sense of identity.

The premise is simple, almost classic. A wealthy heir with the flair of a lakorn mafia lead falls in love with a down-to-earth photographer who never imagined himself in that world. Theerakit Kian Lee, known as Khun Thee, lives as if trapped in the final episode of a soap opera. Every moment is a declaration, every action a grand gesture, every feeling turned up to its highest volume. Peach, on the other hand, looks at the world with caution, logic, and a quiet kind of kindness. When these two universes collide, what could have been just another take on the “eccentric rich man and ordinary boy” trope gains its own shape, supported less by narrative originality and more by the way the story chooses to tell itself.

The series’ greatest strength is, without question, Khun Thee. Pond Naravit delivers his most confident and finely tuned performance to date, understanding that the humor of the character lies not in excess alone, but in the complete sincerity with which that excess is lived. Thee is cartoonish, impulsive, and often emotionally immature, yet undeniably charming. His corny lines, passionate outbursts, and constant references to melodramatic romances could easily slip into parody, but Pond finds the exact balance between the ridiculous and the endearing. Thee believes every word he says, and it is this almost childlike faith in love that makes him feel real.

Peach serves as the axis that keeps the narrative grounded. Phuwin builds a restrained, observant, and emotionally intelligent character, someone who responds to chaos not with submission, but with clear boundaries and steady questioning. Peach is not an idealized romantic fantasy. He hesitates, grows uncomfortable, and takes time to understand what he feels. Even so, the series does not always give him the same depth it offers Thee. His inner conflicts are present, but often remain understated, softened amid the extravagance of his co-lead. The imbalance is noticeable, though not strong enough to disrupt the couple’s overall dynamic.

The chemistry between the protagonists is shaped far from physical intensity or explicit eroticism. Me and Thee favors shared time, small gestures, and an intimacy built through everyday moments. It is a sweeter, almost chaste romance that unfolds slowly and carefully. The relationship does not emerge from instant desire, but from persistence, curiosity, and above all, affection, even if that persistence occasionally borders on excess.

From a narrative standpoint, Me and Thee moves between moments of sharp focus and mild dispersion. The series introduces a wide range of charismatic secondary characters, including Mok, Rome, Aran, and Tawan, but not all of them are given enough room to fully develop. Some arcs feel closer to sketches than complete stories, adding texture to the world while lacking depth or resolution. Mok, in particular, stands out. His body language and expressions often say more than dialogue, frequently stealing the scene. Meanwhile, the Tawan and Aran subplot feels out of place, emotionally uneasy, and resolved too quickly, a problem made worse by the strict episode count that leaves the final chapters noticeably rushed.

Another curious aspect is the use of the “mafia” element, which works more as visual flavor than as a true source of conflict. Despite the security details, family rules, and constant suggestion of danger, the threat never truly materializes. The main obstacle to the romance comes not from rivals or the criminal world, but from Peach’s initial emotional distance. This choice reinforces the show’s light tone, while also creating the sense that some promising ideas remain largely ornamental.

Comedy generally works best when it grows naturally from character interaction. However, the frequent reliance on sound effects and exaggerated visual cues is not always necessary. There are scenes where the writing and performances could easily carry the humor or emotion on their own, and the insistence on these devices softens moments that might have benefited from restraint, as if the series occasionally underestimates its own strength.

On a technical level, Me and Thee stands above the usual GMMTV standard. The cinematography is polished, the framing intentional, and the direction confident in its shifts between visual excess and simplicity. The soundtrack supports the emotional tone well, with songs that often feel like extensions of Thee’s inner world. At times, however, the visual flow is gently interrupted by more noticeable advertising. While expected within this format, these moments can briefly pull attention away from scenes meant to carry emotional weight.

Perhaps the series’ greatest achievement lies in what it sets out to be, and manages to become. Me and Thee does not aim to be deep, realistic, or revolutionary. It wants to be comforting. It wants to be the kind of story you watch after a difficult week, laughing at absurd situations and allowing yourself, for a few episodes, to believe in a love that is loud, persistent, and unashamed of feeling too much. It understands that not every story needs suffering as its driving force.

In the end, Me and Thee leaves the impression of a romantic comedy that knows its limitations as well as its strengths. Imperfect, uneven in places, and excessive in many ways, and precisely because of that, oddly sincere. It is not a series that tries to convince through logic, but through affection. And when it succeeds, it does so fully, offering easy laughter, emotional comfort, and the reminder that sometimes, exaggeration can also be a very real way of loving.

A very messy storyline with major problems

First of all, this was my first show watching the leads (PondPhuwin) acting so I have no comparison to their previous work. I'm not familiar with them outside of acting either. I think many people liked this show because they liked the actors and well, you do you. Whatever makes you happy, I don't judge.
But outside of that.... What was this show even about? How the hell did their relationship even start? Besides, pretty much all the relationships in this series are random Aran and Tawan were majorly underexposed so what they had going on was literally unexplained and redundant. Mok and Rome were also definitely there for the WilliamEst enjoyers. If Mok was raised by Thee and prepared to be his bodyguard while Rome was in a different country entirely..???? I guess Rome, okay, the whole family is a little messed up so maybe he had a crush on him from a distance (giving me slight Hua Yong vibes but much less psycho) but Mok? How did he get feelings for Rome? It seems illogical.
Peach and Plub had some potential but their chemistry was weird. They were too polite to each other for siblings lol.
THe whole "not allowed to love" theme was underwhelming too. Like what was that even about? Not only was it unrealistic but the resolving of it came down to Thee's father suddenly developing a second personality and going "sike! i was kidding!".
What about the mafia subplot? It was mentioned and used to justify Thee carrying a gun and having a bodyguard *everywhere* with him (unrealistic as hell, why was Mok following him everywhere even in his own house???) but then it was abandoned as a whole. We never see any danger around Thee at all and he's not seen involved in pretty much anything even close to criminal activity.
Peach annoyed me as well. Supposedly the best photographer in Thailand (who doesn't even own a proper studio for some reason) and he's living in a *very* modest house and doesn't seem to have any luxury around him at all. also, nobody that comes from the background he does refuses every single piece of luxury thrown at him. Be for real. Why was he acting like a saint all the time?
Their acting was... well. Let's say I've seen better. Phuwin seemed to be faking most of the time, maybe because of theweird saint persona. The character just felt empty. Pond got to play a really goofy role and I think he did it well. Not my cup of tea, but it didn't feel fake at least. Mok was a somewhat random character but Est did a good job especially with facial expressions.
The wedding was... weird. WHy did they have 5 guests who all stood a mile apart? Were they social distancing?
Don't get me started on the adoption. "Hey honey I have a surprise! I adopted two kids without telling you!" -Thee, probably.
Thee could've just sponsored the orphanage. That would have done it, and maybe they could talk about it like adults later lol.
All in all, this series was a mess. The production was okay, but they clearly tried to bite off more than they could chew. THree couples and lots of random plotlines were way too much for the airing time.

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.

You will wuv it!

A real treat! That's what Me and Thee was. They didn't reinvent the wheel, but they knew what they were making and stayed true to their special style of humor.

It goes to show you don't need to do a lot to do well. If your material is good and the actors are passionate about it and commit to each and every bit, it will show in the end result.

It was odd but loveable and more thoughtful than you'd think, just like the iconic Thee himself.

I was charmed, thrilled, and amused to no end. Every character shone, and you could practically see the steam coming out of people's ears and silly, heart-eyes popping out.

Don't underestimate or brush aside this one, just enjoy yourself already and watch it! Give joy and love a chance! Tis fun!

Funniest drama i have seen

I am not a fan of the usual comedy's, but this is the kind of comedy i really like. I had so much fun watching this drama, it was hilarious! The moodswings of Thee, the over the top things he did, the funny sounds weren't too much and placed just to perfection. The cheesy drama lines were just soo funny!
And how Peach stayed true to himself and wasn't intimidated by all this was just the best!

I liked the story, the son of a mafiaboss that doesn't want anything to do with mafia, and the restrictions to love, just to keep him safe. But as most of the time, love wins in the long run. He is the cutest mafia boss heir ever!

The visuals are stunning, the music very good.
The acting was also great, i love all three couples, they all have great chemistry.
The kisses of PondPuwin aren't the best, but i am not mad at it because their dynamics and chemistry are great.

Definatly a must watch! I am sure i will watch this one again in the future.

Theerakit Kian Lee being the moment, the legend, and the icon.

This show is the definition of the CEO x Y/N trope. It was one of the first things I noticed in episode one, and once I saw it, I couldn’t unsee it. And really, it just made the whole thing more enjoyable. Add that with a bit of soap opera, and you've got an amazing show you can't look away from.

The series was exactly what the trailers promised, which is usually GMMTV’s biggest weakness. They show a certain vibe in the trailer, only for the actual product to be something completely different. But this series knew it wanted to be a romcom, and it was a romcom. It never took itself too seriously, and in the moments it did, it never overstayed its welcome or became unintentionally melodramatic. It knew exactly what it wanted to do, and it set out to do just that. The jokes all land, the character actions are consistent, comedy bits never go on for too long, and every single character has personality. Even the freaking bodyguards!

So, when the emotional scenes hit, they hit. And even then, the show made sure you never forgot it was still a comedy. The soundtrack and sound effects were perfectly placed, enhancing scenes instead of feeling awkward like in most GMMTV comedies. This was an actual comedy that had romance in it, not a romance that tried to shove comedy down the viewers' throats like most Thai BLs.

This is easily the best series PondPhuwin have done. I’ve watched all of their shows, and while they aren’t my favourite CP, I always tune in because there’s something about them. I enjoyed their past projects, but this one was it. It was iconic. THIS SHOW WILL GO DOWN IN BL HISTORY AS THE MOST ICONIC SERIES EVER!!!


TheePeach:

Let's talk about our CEO and Y/N first. Thee has to be the funniest person alive. It's the fact that he's not even doing any of this on purpose that makes this even better. Hell, boy brought a whole glass of water to give Peach so he could throw it at him cuz he thought Peach was mad. He's so over dramatic and cringe in the best way possible that you can't help but laugh and want more.

How often does he burst out into songs? Because there is no way ep 4 was a one off. I swear, the amount of times I had to pause the show just so I could catch a breath or scream because of how embarrassing it was, only for then to want more of his stupid ass.

And he fits the Rich CEO Alpha Daddy trope so fucking well. He has endless amounts of money. Gets humbled at every second when he's with Y/N. Is magically always there where Y/N is. Downbadism is a syndrome he doesn't want to be cured from. Is only nice to his fam, Y/N and Y/ N’s fam. Threatens to kill everyone that hurt Y/N. The list goes on. Every time I see even a hint of something from my wattpad days, it just made me laugh even more.

Pond Naravit has always been one of the most attractive men I've seen, but seeing him in these suits, acting like a Rich CEO, made him so much more attractive. This was exactly the kind of role Pond was born and raised for. There is absolutely no one, NO ONE, that could have replaced him for this role. The mannerisms, the facial expressions, the body language. They were so well done that you’d think that was Pond himself and not a character. They just gave bro the script and said have fun. And fun he did.

And him being so goofy made his character so much better than the classic CEO trope. Because while his personality will make you laugh until your ribs hurt, it's also one of the saddest aspects of him. He was a lonely child who used soap operas that his mum starred in so he could feel closer to her. And being a child who was sad and alone and scared, he internalised everything he watched and thought, “yeah, that's how normal people act.” He probably wanted to be so close to his mum that he ended up acting just like her, and honestly, that breaks my heart. He says and does the most absurd shit, and yet, I can't help but pity the guy. And watching him learn what a normal life looks like, a life he always wanted, was so heartwarming to see.

Yes, Thee found someone who could handle all his dramatic outbursts and dramatic lines, but he also found someone worth changing for. The Thee from the start of the series to the Thee now, there is so much of a difference. Yeah, it might not be the soap operas he watches, but hey, Khun Thee is enough of a drama queen to fill up that role. After all, his mum's soap operas have come to an end.

He's such a fascinating character and is by far one of my absolute favourites across all BLs. This show highlighted Pond's acting range, and I'm so glad cuz he improved so much since Fish Upon The Sky, and he just needed the right script to shine a light on this. From all the dramatic flair, to the more serious ones, to the light-hearted and sad ones, Pond absolutely nailed it.

And now everyone's favourite Y/N. At first, I was joking, but then they hit us with the tragic backstory, and I just couldn't unsee it anymore. And I’m so glad everyone else sees it too. And just like our Rich CEO Alpha Daddy, where Peach's character did so well in the Y/N trope, was making him level-headed. I swear, the level of patience this man exercises is astronomical.

Peach, for lack of a better word, is a simple man. Or, in the words of his exes, he's boring. He lives a simple life doing what he loves. And that was exactly what someone like Khun Thee needed. Peach might have thought his ordinary life was nothing to write home about, but for someone like Thee, it's the best gift he could ever receive. And for Peach, while he may grumble, and roll his eyes, and glare, Thee coming into his life and turning his ordinary into an extraordinary one was exactly what he needed.

Peach says he likes being alone. And at the start, you think, girl same. It's relatable. But then you realise, no, he doesn't, he's just lonely and got used to being alone. Peach is someone who had to grow up fast, had to make money as soon as possible so he could take care of his sister. He never had time to process his emotions or deal with his feelings because he constantly had to be on the go for his sister. Because crying would be a sign of weakness, and he can't do that as the older brother. But then, enter Khun Thee, and he was everything Peach needed and more.

Thee thought him the joys of having someone by his side. Thought him it's okay to be upset and sad because he's just human. Thought him to open up that part of his heart that he didn't think he ever would. And it just works. He offered patience and kindness, and in return, he found someone who loves him for all his being that he never got growing up, making his simple and ordinary life even brighter and unpredictable. These two are just two lonely souls who found comfort and a home in each other, and it makes me cry every time Peach cries or they're having a heart-to-heart.

And while Peach isn't as downbad as Thee is (cuz no one can be as downbad as Thee is), his love for Thee is so pure regardless. He humbles Thee, but never makes him change who he is. He'll glare at Thee for spending money like it's water, but always ends up indulging the man when it's within reasonable bounds. Is terrified of the violence that surrounds Thee, is afraid of him, but he'll compromise and come to an understanding that the violence is just part of falling in love with Thee. He understands that and trusts him wholeheartedly that he'll protect him. Is scared of Thee being hurt. Watching Peace come to terms with his feelings, and watching him learn that love should come from feelings and not logic, was so beautiful to see. His love wasn't anything dramatic or loud or fancy, but quiet and level-headed and patient, and it was love nonetheless.

These two together are lightning in a bottle. THE FUCKING CHEMISTRY!! THE PERIODIC TABLE WISHES IT COULD HAVE THIS MUCH CHEMISTRY, MY GOD!! Theerakit Kian Lee is the fucking standard. If your mans isn’t trying to move your WHOLE HOUSE, then does he even love you? He wrote a whole ass song for Peach, proposed to him privately without a crowd because Peach hates crowds, but broadcast it to the whole world because that’s just who he is, and the fact that Peach just accepts that and is so in love with him is just UGH, I LOVE THEM SO MUCH!!

Also, the adoption. I knew he was going to adopt them. And yet, I screamed when the two kids appeared at their weddings and started calling Thee dad. HELL YEAH, HE’S DAD. Or, in Thee’s words, call him Daddy. I just know they added this line for the edits. I know what yall are doing, you ain’t slick.

And don’t even get me started on Thee buying GMMTV. We were making jokes about it, AND IT ACTUALLY BECAME REAL. It’s GMM(THEE)V now. Love this. And the fact that Peach is just going along with his shenanigans while also losing his sanity is just the best portrayal of their married life.


RomeMok:

Yeah, yeah, everyone and their mums knew Rome was gonna be William, cuz who else was it going to be? But did I still scream when I saw him? Absolutely yes!

Mok is the fucking MVP of this entire series. Yes, Thee is the iconic, the moment and the myth himself, but Mok carried this show. Thee should be thanking Mok and giving him so many land deeds and buildings, or else getting with Peach would have happened so much later. Est’s facial expressions fucking killed me. That wasn’t even Mok, that was fully Est. He was so done with Thee and his stupid ass, but for the sake of his job and friendship, he kept his mouth shut lmao.

And whoever decided to put Est in glasses and in a suit needs a fucking raise. This man is so handsome, I was starstruck. And apparently, so was Rome. And bro, I totally get you. This man is defo Thee’s brother. No DNA tests needed. He’s such a menacing little shit, I love him. He doesn’t even try to hide how downbad he is for Mok its hilarious. And the fact that Mok is always spoiling him just makes me giggle. You know Rome plays that sad puppy act every time to get something out of him. And it fucking works, cuz Mok folded faster than boiled spaghetti lmao.

I was so upset we didn’t get more of them. I WANT THEIR LOVE STORY!!! It’s so sad that they basically grew up together, but hardly see each other. But you can TELL how much they love each other. The way Mok started to tear up when telling Peach that Rome will soon be living by himself in some faraway country nearly brought me to tears. Est the actor that you are!!! Mok is sabotaging himself, and it’s so on-brand for his character that it just hurts to watch.

He could have taken every opportunity to leave Thee’s side to join Rome and be happy with him. But he had been raised from a young age to be a bodyguard, to follow rules, so it only makes sense that he’d be the biggest stickler for them till the end. The fact that it took him getting FIRED to perhaps maybe enjoy his own life is just upsetting.

I have never celebrated so loudly at someone getting fired before. Because hell yes! Go be happy with Rome and have a wedding of your own!

I really hope we get more of them in Me and Peach. They deserve their own happy ending after everything.


TawanAran:

These two… What's with Perth acting as the toxic love interest in every BL of his? Last time I saw this man be a green flag was during Love by Chance. And in Never Let Me Go, but that was as a side character, so it doesn't count. Like bloody hell, I get it, Perth is an amazing red flag (though I will stand ten toes deep defending Yotha like my life is on the line), but can we get one show where his characters aren't emotionally exhausting his partners? And Tawan was defo the worst of them all. And if he was already this aggravating in the show, I don't even wanna know what bullshit he got up to in the book.

Aran deserved so much better. When he kneeled to the floor in front of Khun Thee, my blood fucking boiled. I swear to god that made me so mad. I was screaming at my screen cuz Tawan is the last person who deserves someone as precious as him! And that one scene of him informing Mok and Thee of Shohei doesn't count as a redemption. At least he apologised to Peach, or I swear there would be blood.

However, PerthSanta have done it again with a stellar performance. Did their story really need to be in this? Pft, no. This storyline was so rushed it's not even funny. But they had five minutes of screen time, and they ate up every single second of it. You could literally feel the exhaustion and pain and sadness in Santa's voice during that argument. And Perth's glare. Fucking hell, it terrified me. Why has no one given this man a villain role yet? Put these two in a room with the most awful script, and they'll still produce something spectacular.

That being said, I love a happy ending as much as the next bitch, but come on, there are just some couples that don’t deserve happy endings. Aran does not need this toxicity in his life, and Tawan should be so glad he’s handsome, or else I would have finished what Thee couldn’t do. Buried him six feet under. They shouldn’t have gotten together, instead worked on themselves individually and maybe meet somewhere in the distant future and maybe rekindle something.

I want my favourite pairing to be happy like everyone else, but there was nothing redeeming about Tawan for me to root for this relationship. But because it's PerthSanta… sighs in dramatic… I was also lowkey smiling when they reconciled. Though no one but me needs to know that. They just have that effect on me. Even though they stress me out every time they’re on my screen. First Perfect 10 Liners, and now here. They can’t give me a break, I swear.


Other stuff:

- Peach and Plub’s sibling relationship is the most wholesome thing I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing.

- Rome and Thee were the funniest sibling pair. Wanted more of them.

- Thee and Plub best in-laws, and we needed to see more of their shenanigans together, while Peach regretted his life decisions in letting the two meet.

- Mok and Thee dynamic was by far my favourite out of the whole show. Mok was so done with his boss's bullshit, but his salary was on the line, so he couldn’t even say anything. And Thee always reminding him they’re best friends is so precious to me.

- Wanted more for the wedding and adoption scene, it felt rushed.

- Should have fleshed out Tawan and Shohei a bit more, that dynamic was lowkey interesting.

- The bodyguards! I need a whole sitcom with just them and Thee.


This show deserves all the praise, all the hype, and all the love it’s getting. The memes from this show have made me laugh even more than the actual show, and Khun Thee is the most iconic piece of media I have had the pleasure of experiencing. We seriously need more Khun Theels in our lives. He has gone beyond Thai media and has entred K-pop stratosphere, that’s how iconic he truly is.

I’m so sad that we won't get more of his and Mok's shenanigans. I really hope GMM(THEE)V doesn't put PondPhuwin back in high school or college again. These two were meant to do romcoms, so give them more romcoms!!! But after the immense success and attention this series has garnered, they’ll probably be on more alert, so I can’t wait to see what they’re going to do next. Though I doubt anything will ever come close to this iconic piece of media, sadly. They are basically the face of GMM(THEE)V, and this series has definitely shown why that is.

Goodbye, my favourite CEO x Y/N!! Until Peach and Me!! You shall be missed, but definitely not forgotten. Best believe I’m coming back to rewatch this every time I need a good laugh.

Me & Thee

Albeit, I'm not much for Thai dramas, so take this review with a grain of salt.

I wasn't too impressed by the story as nothing was really intriguing about it. Thee's actor did amazing at portraying a silly, longing golden-retriever boyfriend. While Peach's actor was great at portraying a fluffy and kind character, I felt like his feelings towards Thee were a little understated.

This seems to be due to writing. Instead of playing along with Thee, oftentimes Peach would just... shoot him down? This leads to a lot of moments which are funny, but lack any true romantic depth.

For what it is I really enjoyed the side characters in this drama.

Could've been better

I loved Me and Thee. The first episodes were funny and enjoyable, with Thai soap opera references and fast progressing plot. In the middle episodes, I felt kind of boring. But the last episode brought me joy and happiness again. The ending was beautiful, with Thee even buying GMMTV 🤣🤣🤣.

I really really loved Pond's acting. His acting made Me and Thee deserve all the hype the drama received. I must say, Pond Naravit's acting was impressive and truly remarkable. He totally nailed his character. All Thee Peach scenes were so good and they had very good chemistry together.

In my opinion, Rome-Mok relationship wasn't shown as expected. I still believe they could've given them more screentime and include them properly in the storyline as a side couple rather than Tawan and Aran. William and Est both added great scenes with their acting. I liked that. It's a shame they had very little screentime compared. One thing, you cannot expect everyone who watches Me and Thee to have read the novel. I didn't read either. So, the screenwriter should've organize the plot more clearly so that the general public could understand better.

Telling the cons, I'll start by mentioning the no dating rule in the mafia family. The father had banned their kids from having relationships, which caused a lot of suffering for both his kids. But in the end when Thee finally tells his dad about it, he had that "Oh man I was just kidding. It wasn't that serious" vibe. Like, what was that? He had made both his sons mentally distressed for a long time because of this rule. Too much time was wasted in the episodes just because of this.

Combining a lot of tropes like abusive parents, orphanage kids, no dating rule, mafia bosses competition, messy and red flag relationships (tawan-aran), evil work rival (Wiwat or whatever his name was) and a lot more into one drama made the story a bit messy. It seems great for some people I know, but I felt a bit messy.

Also, if the mafia boss plot was the main thing after thee peach relationship, they could've added more scenes with the Shohei group and Touch. Thee and Touch's rivalry could've added more action scenes but they totally wasted that potential. It would've been better if they expanded that plot rather than ending it with just one action scene in episode 9. Thee is a mafia boss after all.

Lastly, Tawan-Aran side plot was totally unnecessary that I wanted to skip their parts. Aran is illogical; one time he wants to get rid of Tawan and live his life, other time he'd go all lengths just to have him back. Their interactions indicated all the signs of a no-return breakup. Tawan is a red flag. However, they got together in episode 9. All I can say is that Aran has no self respect for himself. He shouldn't have gotten back together with Tawan at all, since Tawan treated him much worse and getting jealous for every small thing and always misunderstand things. I don't believe he could change 180° just like that in such a short time.

Overall, this series is not bad. The acting, music and sound effects were great. All episodes brought a lot of smile on my face. I appreciate that. But I have some kind of "It could've been better" feeling.

Almost wished it was more absurd.

All BLs require a certain level of suspension of disbelief — but Me and Thee offers a strangely confusing paradigm: the more it tried to lean into realism, the harder my brain had to work to believe any of it.

When the show fully committed to being over-the-top, it was genuinely fantastic. Thee’s constant (mis)understanding of the world — people, social norms, even basic human functions — was hilarious. His mother seeing everything through a melodramatic lens, the ridiculous wealth, the absolute disregard for money, and Pond fully committing to the “voices in Thee’s head”… those things produced some of the most gloriously unhinged moments in the series.

Even the romance only really works when you view it through a comedic, exaggerated lens.

But whenever the show tried to pivot into drama, sincerity, or grounded emotional realism, it completely collapsed. Even Peach felt a little too normal for the universe the show was building — and in a “normal” context, him falling for Thee makes absolutely no sense (no matter how much trauma the story throws in to justify it). If the writers had leaned into Peach’s obsession with peace, quiet, and tranquility in a much more extreme way, the show would’ve actually become more coherent — paradoxically — because it would match the heightened world around him.

And I won’t even get into the abandoned plot threads and half-dropped story engines.

Honestly, a lot of that could’ve been forgiven if the series were consistently absurd. But instead, some of it just feels loosely written — and that’s the worst kind of messy.

I might sound harsh, but I genuinely enjoyed the show. In a few years, I’ll probably only remember the funniest scenes — and in that sense, it did exactly what it came to do.
I really hope we get more BLs in this genre, just executed with tighter control.

Still, overall? I’d recommend watching it.
