Me and Thee

Already Iconic

I can't believe how quickly this show became a hit - and it is incredibly deserved. I'm typically not the biggest fan of comedies, but this one had me laughing out loud every episode. My usual problem is that the jokes don't translate well or cultural differences in comedy are too large, but in this case, they managed to make this a show that everyone will find funny. Pond and Phuwin do an INCREDIBLE job portraying these characters, and I think they'll go down as their most recognizable and famous characters for years to come.

Mr. Thee (Pond), the CEO of perfume company Arseni and first son of a major mafia boss, wants to sleep with Arseni's top model, Aran (Santa). Luckily, before the bodyguard kidnap the poor model, the freelance photographer currently working on Arseni's new project Peach (Phuwin) steps in. Peach convinces Thee that threatening someone is not the way to their heart, and Thee convinces Peach to help him learn how to date by going on dates with him. Quickly, Thee forgets all about Aran and falls head over heels for Peach. Peach, oblivious to this, is baffled by every single move Thee makes.

The combo of "mafia boss obsessed with old timey soap operas" and the play on mafia CEO x y/n made this show HILARIOUS. Truly, even if you don't like comedies, it is worth watching because it is that good. There were a few major downsides to this show though: (1) There were two side couples, neither of which got much of a storyline. It felt like two half-baked plotlines instead of giving just one side couple a decent plot; and (2) the climax/main issues seemed to go away WAY too easily - a rival mafia boss and Thee's dad's rule about not falling in love barely seemed to actually matter. Still, this show was super fun and the most interesting characters Pond and Phuwin have played yet. Definitely give it a watch - just don't watch it for PerthSanta or WilliamEst, because this show is pretty much only about PondPhuwin.

What kind of heart beats a person’s name?Khun Thee’s heart: Lookpeach. Lookpeach. Lookpeaccchhh

Me and Thee is so cheesy and stupid and I LOVE IT SO MUCH.

Khun Thee is such a hilarious character. He can be cringey, especially with his "soap opera" lines, but Peach’s gentle and kind nature balances him out perfectly. Every time Khun Thee acts like a mafia boss in his fancy suit (and that one funny strand of hair on his forehead!)—using that deep voice and threatening tone—the background music and dramatic zooms crack me up. I enjoyed seeing how meeting Peach made Thee realize he wasn't living a "normal" life and that there is more to the world than just being rich.

Mok is equally funny; his judgy expressions, his tendency to get fed up with Thee, and his sassy clapbacks are so entertaining to watch.

Peach is a fantastic character; I always love characters who are genuinely kind. Even though he was scared and intimidated by Thee in the beginning, he was still really nice to him.

The episode where Peach took Thee on as his assistant to show him "normal" life was lovely. For the first time, Thee got to experience a regular existence, and it was heartwarming to see how Peach made him happy with the little things and took great care of him. The part where Thee wrote his name on Peach’s arm because everything that’s his has his name marked on it was adorable, as was him adoring the wind chime he got from Peach. I enjoyed the flight ticket tantrum scene, it was over the top and PondPhuwin delivered their lines well.

I’m a huge fan of PondPhuwin, they are so cute as a pair, and I’m glad to see them back in a rom-com series. I love how Pond’s characters are obsessed with Phuwin’s in every universe. Also, what I love about PondPhuwin’s shows is that they don’t necessarily need a lot of kissing or intimate scenes; the chemistry and the spark are always there. I am in awe of how Pond managed to deliver Khun Thee’s lines so shamelessly and endeared at how Phuwin managed not to laugh at Pond. Pond killed it as Khun Thee, but the one who had me kicking my legs and biting my pillow and driving me insane was Phuwin, oh my god, Phuwin! Wtf. When did he get this hot? Damn he’s so fine, we both need to get a grip Khun Thee!!

Est was a total scene-stealer with his hilarious expressions and that cunty wardrobe! the glasses, the vest, the gun holster, the tiny waist! He looked incredible. William was also cute as Rome; he looked so tiny standing next to Est. Their part was so short though. I didn’t really enjoy PerthSanta’s storyline.

Overall, I really, really enjoyed this show, I’ll add this to the list of my comfort shows.

This show is so dear to me, I haven't laughed like that in a long time

I genuinely love this show so much. I haven't laughed like that in a long time. The casting is perfect, all the actors are playing themselves irl, the acting, the story, the music effects are just perfect, I also love the fact that it touches serious topics despite being a comedy series, and it shows them perfectly. I can't even point one thing that could have been done better. I don't think I will ever find a better show. You can be laughing your ass off and at the same time being touched by beautiful words and ways to portray love, being queer or different. just perfection.

Proof That Not Every BL Deserves the Hype

This series… omg 🙄🙄 I honestly feel like I wasted my time for nothing. I was skipping through entire scenes because it was just boring. Cringe. Awkward. Painfully so 😬

When I watch a BL series, I usually feel butterflies in my stomach. I cover my face, blush during kisses, and get emotionally invested in the characters. And what did we get here? Nothing.Absolutely nothing.

I felt no emotions while watching this—no connection, no spark, no feelings at all. I didn’t feel sorry for the characters, didn’t feel sad or angry, didn’t get teary even once. There was zero chemistry. The kisses were awkward, the NC scenes were cringe, and everything felt forced rather than natural.

The plot tried to be about everything and anything at the same time, yet somehow ended up being about nothing. Overused ideas mixed with random cringe moments. Even the side couples didn’t fit into the story—if we can even call it a story.

As for the acting… the main leads didn’t deliver their performances the way they should have. There was no emotional depth, no convincing portrayal that could pull me in.

For me personally, this series just didn’t click at all. 3/10, and that’s me still trying to give something for the actors’ effort. That’s all I can do.

BRING BACK 12 EPS!!!!

I loved the main TheePeach storyline, but everything else was rushed, unfinished, and abrupt! And all of it is Gmmtv's new 10 EP format's fault.

I understand not showing much of RomeMok, since it has a separate novel, so probably licensing plays a role. And I also feel like gmmtv will make a Calm down Mr. Rome series in 2027. So wtv, don't mind it, keeping it short actually made their storyline better imo.

BUT, wtf happened with TawanAran and Touch? They might have not been even included atp! This honestly feels like a straight disrespect to the author and the characters, cuz they weren't treated as characters even, just used as tropes to move the plot forward.

The way touch was haphazardly shoved into it to make Thee's storyline somewhat sensible after they fucked up Thee's parents plot is just....

I don't mind a live action being different from the book, honestly prefer it even, cuz it allows us to see the characters in a new setting.

But the way they fucked up almost all of the side characters and subplots is just not acceptable, and all of this happened so they can shove 1.5 books into 10 eps not even 1 hour long each.

10 EPs just completely mess up the pacing of a story, if they want a 10 EP series, the script should be written that way. The way gmmtv makes it right now makes it feel like they write a script for 12 EPs and then keep cutting and moving things around to get 10EPs.

I'd much rather take a 12 EP cookie cutter series with a 11 ep curse that at least has a fleshed out plot and finishes the story well rather than wtv the hell they are doing with this 10 ep format.

Gmmtv should bring back 12 eps, because good stories with poor execution is not going to work for long.

An unapologetically excessive story

The plot is so good. It makes sense in its own world and there’s nothing to say, it just works. And it is coherent until the end (the very last scene is extremely funny, best take of the whole show). Even though it’s a standard story, it feels unique. This is a powerful affirmation I’m making. Furthermore, I’m not from Thailand but I know that the soap operas Thee watches are popular in the country so the whole thing makes even more sense and it's even funnier.
The main relationship is a slow burn, one of my favourites and I believe is also well written. The first four episodes give the watcher the opportunity to get a full picture of the whole situation and characters' background. Consequentially, there is a strong connection between the viewers and the show. We all feel like entering another world (Thee’s or Peach’s pov), joining the characters’ journey. How this happens is different from other series, all due to Mr Thee, a character we have never seen before.
The timing and development are right. The first kiss (even though is not their best kiss, I think because of the location, not very stable so they couldn’t move much) is great, the setting fabulous. It’s not late, not early. Loved the second kiss as well, the location perfect. The whole scene is good: Peach thinks (the whole episode) about what to do and gives a definitive answer at the end: no waste of time with misunderstandings. This means the relationship is a mature one. We are sure, we are okay and it’s not the end of the series.
The characters are cool, well scripted and elaborated. As I previously said, Thee is the best for me here. I see his growth during the whole show and his love for Peach is so sincere. But, since I am a photographer myself, I especially love Phuwin’s character and the whole shooting/modelling environment. Moreover, Peach seems to be my perfect man: he’s balanced, kind, genuine, mature, confident but not pretentious; he plays an instrument, knows what he wants and I like how he’s dressed up. Mok is also a crucial character. His presence as a friend is reassuring and, at the same time, extremely funny. He is the person who helps Thee and Peach’s encounter (I mean adjusting to each other’s reality): they enter each other’s lives and come up with a harmonious mix truly loving and understanding one another. The balance between main and side couples seems quite right. The only thing I can say is that I would have liked to see more Mok and Rome story (2-3 more scenes) but it’s not a mistake, the screen time is ultimately correct. William is, indeed, a guest character while Perth is a support one.

The acting is not bad either. Pond does a marvellous job, as well as Est; Perth and Santa, William, Bonnie, JJ and Godji are amazing. Overall, the result is good but, sadly, I have to spend a few words about Phuwin’s solo performance. I’d like to preface that I’m a huge fan, okay? I really admire him as a person and actor. I’m sure he gave all he could. Still, in episode 6 there is a very unnatural cry scene (In episode 7 he cries again but his face is covered by his hand so the shoot feels more spontaneous) and some of his facial expressions just feel artificial.
Furthermore, some PondPhuwin’s takes feel forced, not kisses but other physical interactions. I saw them in ‘We Are’ and, frankly, in this show something seems off. Not always, but sometimes. In the previous show (We Are) they felt always natural and comfortable with each other, while here, again just few times, their interactions are somehow restrained and with the handbrake on. One of my favourite scenes of theirs is the sex scene that is, actually, a love scene. If you get what I’m saying you know that was good. The atmosphere is intimate and romantic. They talk and then, just looking at each other, communicate their mutual intention of a deeper physical contact. The scene is gentile, sweet, genuine, right in time and well-acted. I adore it (I think it’s gonna be my favourite of PondPhuwin’s bed shoots).
I don’t really enjoy Thee’s mom’s acting. I believe her performance is correct, considering her character. But still, while Thee seems to fit, she doesn’t. The character is too much, that feels almost out of place.

The music is enjoyable. The effects well emphasize Pond’s great acting performance and I haven’t seen editing or lightning errors. The cinematography is nice: I like the colours, the settings and the attention dedicated to the photography things, both equipment and shootings seem professional.
I don’t like Pond’s tattoo. Let me explain: the idea is great and cool but the result could have been better. The part on the chest is great, the other on the arm not really. In my opinion the two drawings aren’t well connected.

Thank you for reading,
kisses <3

I'm in love with Pond/Thee. Too adorably cheesy and gorgeous!

There is so much I like about “Me and Thee”. Over-the-top comedy can put me off sometimes, but “Me and Thee” never deviates from what it sets out to be and the comedy just works especially by creating a very consistent and adorable character, Thee. Thee is the shining star! However, there’s enough that I can pick on to prevent me from giving this drama a 9+ rating.

Let’s start with my criticisms. “Me and Thee” is a character-driven drama. Everything revolves around Thee and Peach and their romance. It’s not a bad thing but I wanted more. It feels like nothing really happened for most of the drama. It could have spent a little more time on Mok and Rome because they are more interesting than Tawan and Aran. I would love to see how Rome continues to flirt shamelessly and try to break Mok’s armour. I want more of how they fall in love. Maybe they are planning on a special episode or a different season for them. If the drama wants to focus on Tawan and Aran, then I need more than what it gave me. Give me more background story of their past relationship, so that I can understand why Aran couldn’t leave Tawan no matter how hard he tries. The drama spends a little time on showing us how explosive and jealous Tawan could be and that Aran is trying to resist. Yet, the Tawan’s family troubles and their conflict resolved so half-heartedly.

I also didn’t like episode 10 very much. It feels like a filler episode even though it jams a proposal, engagement, wedding and a new family all in one. The romance and humor are not as well-written compared to the last 9 episodes. I do like the humor in the last few minutes when the new GMMTV was introduced. Those cameos were fun.

How about what I like?

POND! Wow… Pond/Thee is the STAR of the show. Oh My Gosh. I laughed out loud so much at Thee’s antics. The character is so consistent from beginning to the end, even though he has matured and grown so much. It proves that you can fall in love and still maintain your personality. Thee is so over-the-top, naive, clingy and possessive, yet he is so darn adorable and gorgeous! Pond did a fabulous job playing this role convincingly. Comparatively, Phuwin did fine and I thought his emotional scenes weren’t as good. Pond and Phuwin have great chemistry. Everytime they are on my screen, I look forward to the crazy things that would come out of Thee’s mouth and then wait for Peach’s patient explanation and lesson in life. I love that Thee takes the time to get to know Peach, and really takes into consideration not to do anything Peach might not like. Peach also accepts Thee for who he is. They have a very healthy relationship of give and take, willing to learn and improve and compromise. I was just a little surprised at the lack of NC scenes, and that there aren’t too many kisses. They are sweet though, just aren’t as passionate or sexy as I thought they would be.

Mok is such a great character to balance Thee’s exaggeration. It’s fun to see Mok try to hold his tongue, roll his eyes and patiently talk some sense into Thee to get rid of those outrageous ideas. The occasional break from boss/employee relationship to best friends is heartwarming. I wish we could see more of them as friends and have some more heart-to-heart conversations.

Thee’s family seems like fun and we only got glimpses of who they really are. I actually want to see more of Thee’s parents and want to know what’s real and what’s rumored regarding the Lee Mafia family.. We also only got a few scenes of Thee and Rome’s bickering and they were so fun. I wanted more!

What else do I like? The good-looking cast! It’s lovely to see these actors all grown up from “We Are” and “Perfect 10 Liners” and not play high school or college students anymore. So many eye candies!

I had a great time watching “Me and Thee” despite a weaker episode 10. The comedy works for me and I just LOVE Pond in this drama. If you are finicky or unsure about the humor, I recommend watching one episode to see if you will fall in love with Pond/Thee or not. If you think he’s too overdramatic and cheesy, then please stop.
