Me and Thee

THE ROMCOM THAT ATTACKED ME PERSONALLY

Okay. Now that we actually understand the REAL story, let me scream properly.

This is not just “soft BL slow burn.”
This is "dramatic mafia heir x emotionally stable photographer romcom chaos" and I was NOT PREPARED.

---

THEERAKIT KIAN LEE (THEE) — DRAMATIC KING OF DELUSION

Played by "Pond Naravit" , Thee is a former mafia heir who now runs a luxury brand… but mentally? Spiritually? Emotionally?
He lives inside a lakorn. This man learned romance from soap operas and it SHOWS.

He doesn’t flirt normally.
He delivers declarations like background music is swelling.
He stares like he’s about to announce a plot twist.
He falls in love like it’s the final episode.

And when he hires Peach to be his LOVE COACH so he can chase someone else??? Sir. The irony.

Watching Thee try to act “cool” while clearly falling for Peach instead is peak secondhand embarrassment and I LOVED EVERY SECOND. He’s loud in his feelings. Over-the-top. So earnest it hurts. And yet… he always asks for consent. He always listens when Peach draws a line. Dramatic but respectful king?? We love growth.

---

PEACHAYARAT JANEKIT (PEACH) — CALM, HOT, UNBOTHERED… UNTIL HE ISN’T

Played by "Phuwin Tangsakyuen", Peach is the grounded freelance photographer who just wanted to do his job and live peacefully. Instead, he got adopted by chaos.

Peach is introverted, emotionally intelligent, and allergic to nonsense. The way he looks at Thee like,
“Why are you like this?” but also “…why do I kind of like this?” ......................................IS EVERYTHING.

He doesn’t melt immediately. He doesn’t swoon. He calls Thee out. He sets boundaries. He makes Thee WORK for it. And watching Thee slowly shift from performative flirting to real, vulnerable affection because Peach won’t accept anything fake???

THAT’S THE ROMCOM GOLD.

---

THE DYNAMIC — CHAOS X COMPOSURE

This is not quiet yearning slow burn.

This is:

* Dramatic mafia prince who thinks love needs fireworks
* Emotionally mature photographer who just wants sincerity
* Love coaching that backfires spectacularly
* Accidental falling in love while pretending not to

The humor is REAL. Like actually funny. Not cringey filler. Thee’s dramatic logic vs Peach’s deadpan reactions? ICONIC.

But here’s the dangerous part:

Under all the comedy… it gets soft.

Thee learning to love without performance.
Peach slowly letting himself enjoy the chaos.
Moments where the joking stops and they just look at each other and it’s suddenly intimate.

That shift from ridiculous to real? That’s when it hits.

---

WHY THIS STORY WORKS

It’s not about mafia violence.
It’s not about tragic trauma.
It’s about a man who thought love was theatrical discovering that love can be quiet and grounded — and choosing that.

And Peach? He learns that sometimes chaos can feel safe too.

It’s mutual growth wrapped in romcom nonsense and I ate it up.

---

FOR ME - Me and Thee is:

✨ Over-the-top flirting
✨ Consent king energy
✨ Deadpan reactions
✨ Accidental falling
✨ Mafia heir who cannot function normally
✨ Photographer who pretends he’s immune but absolutely is not

It’s chaotic. It’s funny. It’s soft when you least expect it.

And Pond as Theerakit Kian Lee + Phuwin as Peachayarat Janekit?

Perfect romcom balance. One dramatic. One grounded. Both whipped.

10/10 for chaos.
10/10 for chemistry.
Emotionally? I need therapy.

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.

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.

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.

THE INTERNET LIED TO ME

I watched this because I got so many recommendations online and I have the feeling we either watched different series or I am just not the right person to watch this. Every time Thee started singing it was just cringing me out. I was not even there when Thee proposed and I still wanted to leave.
First couple of episodes were mostly okay though. Except Thee trying to pay Aran and intimidate him with guns, casually trying to SA him and everybody just accepted that? Like you all got no backbone, moral or something? And Aran you okay? Because your bf is somehow abussive and a random stranger just tried to buy you, but well okay, I guess that's life.
For Peach and Thee, they probably should have stayed friends, I never had the feeling they really liked each other, especially not Peach. Peach was good on his own and having Thee in his life was mostly a headache. Also Thee bearly learned anything about spending behavior or social skills. Peach just started to accept it, while Thee was constantly ignoring his boundaries. Like episode 9. "pls don't propose to me" episode 10 "proposed and immidiately get married". And not only that, Thee decided that while he can't even brush his own teeth and is as mature as a 3 year old, it is a great idea to adopt TWO children, without even getting consent from his partner. Peach will end up being a single mom for two children he never even asked for. And don't let me get started on eps. 10 "I don't need to ask for your consent since we are married now". No thank you Khun Thee.
I liked Moks character, he was also somehow the only reasonable character, but thier story didn't get enough attention at all. Same for Peachs and Plubs backstory. But there was a lot of guessing going on all the time. Like did Thee and Peach actually ever got physical? Who knows? Surely not me, because I thought they were just cuddeling the night at Peachs house until mum scolded them for not waiting until marriage. What was going on with the bracelet Mok gave Rome? Why would a CEO of a perfume company would be so endlessly rich if he is not acutally in the mafia, are you growing money trees? Is there secretly felix felicis in your perfume bottles? How can a company run by Thee survive at all? Whats has been going on between Tawan and Aran what made them breake up in the first place? What really happend at Thees birthday party? Also the whole plot of Peach getting financially stable to be able to adopt Plub out of the orphanage makes no sense at all (Thai law you have to be at least 15 years older than the child you adopt - which Peach surely isn't)
And also can someone explain me what nationality the wanna be mafia family has? Since Thee repeadetly gets scolded for his bad thai, which makes me think that he is not native. His family lives in Hongkong, but Thee somehow speaks thai and english with his family. And then his own brother, who unlike Thee, does not live or grew up in Thailand, corrects Thees thai? Are they Thai and Thee is somehow unable to speak his own native language? Or is Rome just language god and the whole family decided to learn Thai for funnsies?
Over all most of the story was poorly written and really predictable (like I knew they would adopt these children the first time they went to the orphanage). All threads like Wiwid and Shohei were not really threatening and didn't really had a proper motiavation or background story. They just appeared out of nowhere. The scene where Mok and Thee did fight the Shohei guy and just ended the whole thing with just one fist fight was so disappointing. I really did like the scene where Thee shoot Wiwid thoug, that was some really nice acting. And I also think Thee asking AI on how to life and buying gmmtv was somehow funny.

I Came to Fill the Void… but Found a Hidden Gem Instead.

I feel like I’ve found a hidden gem with this drama. I originally started watching it while looking for something to fill the void while waiting for the 7th episode of Duang With You, but I ended up discovering something really special.

I genuinely love everything about this series ... the story, the acting, the characters, the actors, and the OSTs. Everything just works so well together. The storytelling is simple but heartfelt, and sometimes that simplicity is exactly what makes it so beautiful.

The relationship between Thee and Peach is incredibly precious. The way their feelings develop feels natural, soft, and sincere. Their chemistry makes every moment between them feel warm and genuine. It’s the kind of love story that makes you smile one minute and ache the next because of how pure it feels.

What I appreciate most is that the drama doesn’t rely on overly complicated plots or unnecessary drama. Instead, it focuses on wholesome moments, emotional connection, and the quiet growth of their relationship. It’s fluffy, comforting, and the kind of series you watch when you just want to feel good.

In a genre where many stories can start to feel similar, this one feels refreshing and special. It has a warmth and charm that stays with you even after finishing an episode.

This is easily one of the best BL dramas I’ve watched, and I’m so glad I decided to give it a chance. It’s one of those rare shows that quietly finds its way into your heart and stays there long after the story ends.

If GMMTV wants GMMTV can

This is what happens when u actually put some money and thoughts into a project. Gmmtv delivered in a way I've geniunly haven't seen in a LOOOONG time.

The plot is extremely basic: a normal, almost "boring" photographer, Peach, meets a very "peculiar" mafia boss, obsessed over soap operas and with a clear lack of social awareness, and very simply they fall in love even through their substantial differences.

That's basically it. I know some people were disappointed in this, cause to be honest, there is no actual plot beside two people falling in love. No drama. No fight. No risks. However I think that, if done well, even no plot is a good plot. A great one even. And this is the case. Its just to people falling in love and building a life together, solving problems and misunderstandings, having to deal with their background and their own personal struggles to really love each other. I found that beautiful and very much needed. There was no unnecessary break up between them, no secrets. And I found that beautiful.

If there was one thing that I found highly useless was the whole Tatsuya storyline. He was there for... nothing? Usually those type of character serve some sort of growth for the protagonists but in this case it was not even that. I dont know what was the purpose fr. They could have just completely cut him out, and spend those time to better develope some plot

For example, they could have spent more time on TawanAran. Giving them the actual attention they deserved. I found their storyline so underrated, and that could have been WAY more. You know what I love more than a realistic depiction of a toxic relationship? THE TOXIC PART BEING ADDRESSED AND CONDEMNED. I know that gmmtv loves disney endings, and i am not against them going back together. Toxic relationships work exactly like this. But i wished they explained it better. They rushed their reconciliation so much that it left me mad. No person can change that much in so little time. Not even after what happened to Tawan. He never once apologized properly for how he treated Aran, which was the MAIN person he had to apologize to. If they gave the tatsuya storyline time to them it would have worked so good. BTW, I would have very much liked if they did NOT get back together, cause Tawan as a boyfriend was unbearable. OH! And i want to be honest. For everybody that said "yeah but Aran offering his body to Thee for Tawan is so out of charactert". NO ITS NOT. It just shows that him, the same person that was so adamant about his body and his self respect would go to such extreme lenght like selling himself for the person that besides everything he keeps loving, maybe even more than he loves himself.

On the contrary, unlike the absurd amount of people, I never complained nor seen a problem with RomeMohk lack of screentime. Honesty im glad they even got some. As much as people were hoping, nobody really knew if William was actually going to appear as Rome and the fact that he did was enought. I dont know if they will continue foward with a RomeMohk series (which would link perfectly with this one) but regardless i love how they left room for more and just gave me some more WilliamEst, for scientific reasons.

Peach and Thee were geniunly the two best main character I've seen in a while now.
If i see a single Peach hater im gonna lose my shit. Finally a character that is normal, like everyone. Finally a character that act and answer like I would. Everybody be making fun on Thee's speaking and his soap operas way of speaking when some bl character are even worst and more unrealistic. FINALLY SOMEONE PUTTING A "GET A GRIP" TO IT. Like, finally. He behave exactly like he should. I love him, I geniunly think he is the best BL character in history, like just goat material. Thee on the other hand is a complete scene stealer. Every single time he is in a scene you are just drawn to his extravagant mannerism, and you laugh. I really loved how over the top he was in comparison to how grounded was Peach. Complete opposite in that department. And maybe that's why they work so well as a couple, they make the other qualities shines. I just wanna point out the scene on the beach after their first kiss when Peach says "what you did- no what we did" cause honestly it left me flabbergasted how mature he sounded. Yeah

They, and all the character would have benefited from ONE and i mean just ONE more episode. Idk what happened to GMMtv and their absolute inability to choose which show needs 12 episodes and what can have just 10 episodes. With all due respect, they made We Are 16 episodes long (could have very much summarized in 10 ep) and made Me and Thee 10 ep when they clearly needed at least one more. Oh god.

Regardless. THE ACTOR CHOICE WAS TOP NOTCH. I was kinda skeptical, cause honestly PPW in we are were.... em.... not it, but they redeemed themselves so hard in this one. Someone said that Peach doesn't really show love or doesn't really look in love. Oh SHUT UP! the hell u expect for someone who had such a traumatic childhood. And Phuwin portrayed Peach so well. No I geniunly believe that those were the best performances from PondPhuwin. And I strongly believe that Phuwin needs more of those character cause he slays them so much, the quiet and very mature type. And their kisses were SO better than We Are, beside maybe the boat kiss, which i cannot really pin on them given how uncomfortable the setting was (even if it was BEAUTIFUL).

But the one that i really wanna give my flowers to is the production crew. You can tell they put MONEY in this project. One thing that let me geniunly shocked was how good the sound was. If u ever watched a single gmmtv show you will know that they have serious sound problems with their mic, especially in like water or beaches scenes, yet here they did so good. It never bothered me.
The soundtrack was good, but kinda repetitive. I feel like there were only like five songs on repeat, which is not bad, but maybe a bigger variety could have helped the vibe to set in a little better.

Visual wise it was very good. Not top tier level good, not "never let me go" level good, but good enough to be enjoyable and sometimes mesmerizing enough. I liked it, and honestly the colour scheme was very good (im very keen on color grading ecc ecc). The contrast between red and blue scenes throuout the show were geniunly good and i loved it. I loved how they dressed and gave a character through everyone style. They made them look AMAZING in the show, like LITERALLY AMAZING. I loved it.
There were some small but, well, everlasting, mistakes in the editing phase, which we are not major or bad like in other series, but they sometimes made the fluidity and continuity disappear, which is the only bad rhing production wise

Rewatch value to the sky, given that I've already rewatched it like more then once I keep rewatching its becoming embarrassing.

In conclusion: watch it. Or give it a try. Its a beautiful show, well produced, well acted, maybe a little rushed, given the amount of episodes they had but indeed amazing and funny, a good show that makes you unplug your brain for a bit and just enjoy love.

Ps. To whoever did pondphuwin makeup: come here and let me kiss u, I hope both sides of ur pillow are cold exactly like you want them, I hope the sun will always shine when you need it and everyone will have luck and health in ur life. I love you more than words can describe.

IF LIFE GOES DOWN WATCH THIS SHOW.

I just have only and only love to give towards every aspect of this series. I have never seen such a flawless show EVER. This clearly is in my top bls without a doubt. I have INHALED every scene of this show to a point that if you show me a random pic of any scene I could tell you which scene does it belong to. Here is the character breakdown.
1) POND NARAVIT: THIS MAN. I REPEAT THIS MAN IS A LEGEND. The way he portrayed Khun Thee is absolutely phenomenal. NO ONE could slay this role as much as him. His acting, expressions, body language, looks, voice and overall personality is EXACTLY what this character and show needed. Warning: After watching this show you are so gonna start calling him Khun Thee and this image of his is gonna stick with you till the end. I kid you not. His acting didn't seem excessive in ANY part of the show.
2) PHUWIN: I am in love with this man and his character of Peachayarat. His acting was so amazing. His character was SO well written and human, it was the most relatable and genuine characters I've ever seen. Choosing Phuwin for this role was the best decision ever. Every emotion that was portrayed could be felt deep into the hearts of the audience I can assure you that. Again I have nothing bad to say about his acting or any aspect of his.
3) EST: I had never ever pictured him in a role of a bodyguard but he ATE. That firmness, sort of a stiffness that is required to be in a bodyguard he gave exactly that. His special expressions in certain scenes (like he had to exaggerate) it sat so well with the theme of the show.
4) SANTA: My man is such a phenomenal actor. I've reached the point in which I've started repeating certain words as compliments because there are no enough words in English that could compliment these actors/ characters. His acting felt so genuine. I cried when he cried, I laughed when he laughed, I blushed when he acted all cute. First time seeing him act (I haven't watched Perfect 10 liners yet) and he is marvelous.
5) PERTH: He gave it his all and I can clearly see it. He acted so well as this character that I really start to hate him but yeah then I watch love you teacher and I started loving him again so well.
6) WILLIAM: My man got less screentime but that didn't stop from excelling. I loved every scene in which Rome was present. He was such a mood brightener. I LOVE HIM. The perfect brother Khun Thee could ever have.
7) Bonnie: She was such a perfect fit as Peach's sister. Like idk what the team did but Phuwin and Bonnie look so alike, like actual siblings. She is such a cutie.
8) ALL THE OTHER ACTORS I SEE YOU AND I LOVE YOU ALL!!! YOU GUYS SLAYED!!!! THAT'S ALL I'LL SAY!
9) OVERALL COMMENTS: Every scene from the show has managed to give me so much happiness, the tiny bits of the show has made such an impact in my life. It has become a show that I watch when I feel really depressed and it lifts my mood instantly! I don't know what magic this is! Also the music of the show is so accurate I love each and every ost of it!! It managed to make me laugh in the comedy scenes and make me cry in the emotional scenes. It was like I was living the show, I was living the characters, I could relate to them that much!

IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED THIS SHOW PLSPLSPLSPLSPLSPLS WATCH IT YOU ARE SO NOT GONNA REGRET IT!

STRUGGLING TO WATCH UNTIL THE END

YALLLLLL 😭 I have been contemplating how to write this review for the longest time because honestly… I THINK THIS SERIES, Me and Thee, HAS ZERO COMPLAINTS FROM ME. And if you know me from my previous reviews… YOU KNOW I LOVE TO COMPLAIN. Complaining is literally my love language. My hobby. My personality trait. So the fact that I’m sitting here struggling to find something to drag??? That’s already suspicious. 😏

Now let’s talk about something extremely important. THE VISUALS. Because y’all already know I LURVVVVEEEE PRETTY MEN and GOOD GOD this series was basically a visual assault on my sanity. Especially Pond Naravit. GIRL. Every time this man appeared on screen I was literally cursing at my laptop like “WHY ARE YOU THIS GOOD LOOKING???? WHO ALLOWED THIS????” 😭 His eyes??? SPARKLING. Like actual Disney prince sparkle. At first I was watching peacefully like “Okay… wait… hold on… why does Phuwin look so handsome here???” And I was already impressed.

BUT THEN POND SHOWED UP.

And I swear to God I stared at the screen for five full minutes like "HOW CAN A MAN BE THIS FUCKING GORGEOUS OH LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL 😩" This man literally looks like he walked straight out of a manhwa. Like somebody drew him with perfect lighting and said “Yeah this is unrealistic but let’s release him into the real world anyway.” SIR THIS FACE IS A PUBLIC DISTRACTION 😮‍💨 Anyway… before I start barking let me actually review the series.

This review will probably be shorter than my usual chaos because honestly there’s not much for me to complain about.

Which again…

IS RARE.

________________________________

a) Plot

PERFECT. 10/10. No notes. No complaints. No emotional damage. Just pure enjoyment. And listen, I already had expectations because PondPhuwin series usually deliver. But this one??

THIS ONE SET THE BAR.

The plot execution is smooth, funny, dramatic in the best way, and surprisingly detailed. I LOVE how the cinematography sometimes mirrors Thai soap operas because Mr. Thee grew up watching them to feel close to his mother, who is an actress. That detail alone made me sit up like OH??? THE DIRECTOR CAME PREPARED. And the writing??

Yes it’s cheesy.
Yes it’s dramatic.
Yes it’s a little cringe.

AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. 😭 Because it makes sense for Mr. Thee’s character. This man literally learned Thai from soap operas so of course he’s dramatic as hell. Of course he talks like he’s starring in episode 843 of a melodrama. That’s the whole point. And I swear to God there was not a single episode where I didn’t laugh. Not once. I laughed so hard for four days straight that I’m pretty sure my lungs are filing a complaint. I might actually have asthma now. THIS SHOW CAUSED MEDICAL DAMAGE. 😭 If I have ONE tiny complaint though… It’s that the marriage and kids happened a bit too fast.

Like excuse me???

I blinked once and suddenly they were married with children like "BOY WAIT A MINUTE I MISSED THREE LIFE MILESTONES." Also can we talk about the insane level of detail in this show??? Even the smallest things were thought through. Like Mr. Thee’s bedroom door literally has his full name written on it: “Theerakit Kian Lee.”

And when I noticed that I was sitting there like "WHO ARE THESE PRODUCTION STAFF??? WHY ARE THEY SO DETAIL-ORIENTED??? ARE Y’ALL OKAY??? BECAUSE I LOVE YOU FOR THIS" But one thing I’m still curious about… Why did Mr. Thee suddenly decide he wanted to sleep with Aran in the beginning???

Like sir.

That decision came out of nowhere and I was like HELLO??? CONTEXT PLEASE??? 😭

________________________________

b) Characters

NO COMPLAINTS. NONE. ZIP. ZERO. I genuinely liked all the characters because their development was natural and subtle. Not forced. Mr. Thee is hilarious and cringe but in the most lovable way possible. One minute he’s embarrassing himself dramatically and the next minute he’s being unexpectedly sweet. Meanwhile Peach is the calm, understanding one who actually knows how to deal with Mr. Thee’s chaotic personality. And THANK GOD Peach is not the typical “i’M wEaK aNd i’M iN dEbT pLeAsE sAvE mE” character we always get whenever there’s a mafia boss involved.

Because I am SO TIRED of that trope. Let the man have dignity PLEASE 😮‍💨

Now let’s talk about supporting characters. MOK. MOKKKKKKK MY BOYYYYYY 😮‍💨 This man is the ultimate matchmaker but he does it so subtly. No drama. No obvious manipulation. Just quietly pushing two idiots closer together like “Yeah this should work.” I swear I wish I had a Mok in my life. Everyone deserves a Mok.

Honestly I can’t even explain every character dynamic properly because you really have to watch it yourself to understand how well they work together.

________________________________

c) Steamy scenes

Listen… What did I expect from GMMTV? 😏 It’s mild spicy. But still enough to make my heart jump a little. Not “throw the laptop across the room” spicy. More like “okay wait hold on that was kinda hot.” 😳

________________________________

d) OST

LOVE ITTTT 😌

Some of these songs are definitely going into my Spotify playlist because they actually fit the vibe of the series perfectly.

________________________________

e) Overall

Do I even need to say more? Just go watch it. Watch it and then come back and tell me I’m wrong. Because you’ll understand exactly what I meant. The last time I gave a series full marks was Peaceful Property. So that should already tell you something. PondPhuwin really did it again. I tried SO HARD to find loopholes in this show. I went into detective mode. I searched for problems like "WHERE IS THE FLAW??? WHERE IS THE ISSUE???"

But unfortunately…

I just ended up loving it. And y’all already know my rule: I never rewatch series unless they are extremely good.

But this one??? Oh baby. I WOULD REWATCH. 😏
