Me and Thee

BEST COMEDY SHOW OF THE ERA

Oh my.....

I just finished this and I just...

I just...

I'm blank.

I don't believe in perfection, but this series was P E R F E C T I O N <3 And I will tell you why in this essay 😂

Every scene in this show felt so thoughful and important! I had to literally rewatch the episode the moment I finish watching it in worry that I missed something!

The absolute BEST parts:

-How focused it was on the main characters: Now, don't get me wrong, I love all the multicouple shows in Thai BL world. But lately, I feel like some characters and couples are just thrown in there with absolutely too much focus on them, that it takes away from the main couple. I literally had to drop some series because the main couple's storyline suddenly became so unimportant or uninteresting as compared to the second leads. Now this, this series was PERFECTION IN THIS! ABSOLUTE GOLD! Each episode was about THEM! Their own stories were going on (e.g., Peach and his lovely orphanage, Thee's struggles of wanting a normal life like having Mok be his friend rather than his bodyguard), and their worlds were then interwoven so DARN BEAUTIFULLY! They had adult problems going on, and they handled them like adults and I love them for it! The other characters were shown just enough that I FRICKING FELL FOR EACH OF THEM TOO! Like Note being the one to bust Peach and Thee? Puh-lease. Peak comedy. Aran and Tawan's random love-hate relationship? I don't even need to know what happened in their life because I know enough, and I love them (Tawan still a little sus though). MOK AND ROME????? GET THEM A SPIN OFF LIKE YESTERDAY!!! I loved each charcater, because it always somehow came back to Peach and Thee <3

-The plot: Okay, is it just me or was every show starting to have the same storyline? Random action scenes, a killer, and a back-stabbing best friend 😬 I really thought it was going to be one of those when I started this. THANK GOODNESS IT WASN'T! The plot is basically 'how to make a guy fall in love with you in 30 seconds or less,' and the steps include: be a charming gentleman (even if you're in the mafia), become his family by caring for his darn family (or like pretty much adopting them), and follow every comedic or flirty line with the most seriously romantic shit known to mankind. And get him body soap named after his name for extra points. Viola, you're married 🤩 Like.... I didn't even know I needed this kinda plot in my life till I had this plot in my life. Again, I love how it was just 10 episodes of Thee wooing peach, and each character learning about themselves. No extreme drama, no toxicity between the male leads, and goodness, I've replayed episode 4 and 5 on repeat like daily. Mostly for Thee's glasses look, Mok singing, MokRome, and Peach allowing himself to be taken care of for once. It really made me believe that if you love hard enough, everything just falls into place. That's literally what this felt like. And damn, Thee calming down Shohei with his iconic one liner made me scream in glee. Like wth I couldn't even hate the one "evil" guy in this. I hated Wavid more than him (no offence to the actor who played him) 😑

Humour: Like, when I say I haven't laughed this much for a show, I mean it. Even the darn music had me rolling on the floor at 3am. Like....I can't even with it. And the fact that they KEPT UP with it! Like humour wasn't just an add-on only to be thrown under the rug after episode 3 or 4. No, this was a PURE, COMEDIC, GOLD BULLDOZER OF A MASTERPIECE! Best comedy show of the ERA! P.S. the humour of the last 10 minutes of this show needs to be studied. I literally believed for a moment that Mr. Thee bought GMMT(HEE)V 🤣🤣🤣 (Actually had to AI search it like Thee to confirm)

Some more iconic things:
-Comedy? Best I've seen recently.
-Music? Perfection. (Like, finally someone understands how music can make a comedy scene 9000 times funnier!)
-Cinematogrophy? Beautiful.
-Sets: I believed the entire Lee empire exists in real life, ok?
-Casting/Acting? 100000/10.
-Thee's moments of seriousness? I cry.
-Peach's hairflip? Call an ambulance for me.
-Toxic Tawan? Eh. He was still hot.
-Note finding out about Peach and Thee? I literally peed my pants. Don't know why I find this man hilarious in everything he has ever been in.
-Plub being babied and helping her brothers (Rome and Thee included) with their loves? My inner child screamed in glee for her.
-Thee and Peach becoming husbands and dads in one day? Okay, guess I'll die of an emotional overload heart attack!
-Est as bodyguard (with a forbidden love trope)? I didn't know I needed this to live until I saw it.
-Every single person's hair in this. Like, the hairstylists need a raise like yesterday (shoutout to the blue hues in Thee's hair, Mok' comma look, Ms. Nat's iconic headpieces, and Peach's floofy bedhead hair)

Overall, this has been such a perfect blend of maturity and comedy! Peach's backstory, Thee's struggles of wanting to live a normal life. Even the side couple's struggles like Aran trying to leave a toxic relationship, and Mok and Rome's tension between the difference in their roles, everything was done PERFECTLY! We got to explore so many different worlds in this! Every character was hilarious and also made me cry at least once in the show!

I was so sad when I started watching this as it was airing cause waiting for every Saturday was a pain, but we got through it! I wish I recorded my reactions every episode because dang, they were loaded! Now I'm sad that I don't have this to look forward to on my Saturdays 😢

Now I'm just waiting to buy an Arseni perfume. And waiting to see what this new GMMT(HEE)V owner has to offer 🤔

P.S. Episode 5 when Peach is just listening to Thee's nonsense confirmed it's PeachThee ok?

I thought a lot about what rating to give it and I decided to give it this rating. I love the overall idea and I love the cast even more. It was well-crafted, but I was kind of bored at times. Yeah, I laughed, I was blown away by them, but there were really moments when I thought I was a little bored. I'm sorry, because there was such a hype around it that I was hoping to keep it at the 10/10 I gave it after episode 3, but in the end I lowered it by two points. I think even the 10 episodes are perfect.

I wouldn't make it any longer or shorter, it's just right. I definitely recommend the series because it's ideal for, for example, beating boredom or getting to know the characters.

(But I would probably appreciate the romemok ship more, because they only appeared there a few times and it's a shame, it could have been revived somehow)

Suprisingly good

I didn't go into watching this with too many expectations, since based on the trailer I got the idea that it is a romantic comedy with the whole mafia thing being just a side plot. But it was fun, even if you knew from episode one that Thee 's character is purposefully meant to appear as out touch from reality kind of a mafia/perfume company boss. I expected a lot of the humor to feel forced, but I genuinely had quite many good laughs while watching this. There was actually some growth with Thee's and Peach's character individually and as a couple. Maybe a small critique is that the story relies very heavily on Thee's character development and Peach's role a lot of times was just to support it.

The side characters were also quite enjoyable and for once we actually had in the end both parents supporting the relationship. I am bit over almost that in every BL we get at least one of the parents causing some kinds of issues, just to get something to fill out otherwise a thin story line. Thee's mom is a character (diva) of her own but I liked her a lot. And yes I am in the majority of ppl who wanted more of Rome and Mok. Fingers crossed something else with the duo will come, because after everything Mok had to do to help his boss, he deserves a happy ending.

Overall the characters carry the show trough, the plot lines are pretty predictable and aside from few scenes, this isn't a very serious mafia show. There was luckily enough plot to carry the show trough, I am happy they went with 10 episodes. If Rome and Mok as the second couple would have had more screen time, then I could have taken another episode.

In the end is this revolutionary in terms Thai BL's: heavens no!
Did it offer me surprisingly lot of joy: yes!
Would I re-watch it: maybe one more time. Not still a show I would say has a ton of re-watch value.

The best GMMTV BL in a while

I've been excited for Me & Thee ever since the pilot trailer came out because PondPhuwin are my favorite gmmtv bl couple but this series surpassed my expectations. I knew they would kill the comedy aspect and have been wanting them to have another comedy series ever since FUTS, but I never expected this series to make me cry. Peach & Plub's sibling relationship was so well written and Phuwin & Bonnie need to always play siblings idc. The only reason I didn't give this series a 10 is because of Tawan & Aran. Tawan was SO TOXIC and Aran deserved better, I love perthsanta but Tawan pissed me off so much.

So excited for the special eps and really need to see more of Thee & Plub plotting and annoying the hell out of Peach because they are truly the best trio ever (also maybe we could give Plub a girlfriend played by Emi...perhaps)

The Better Peach Lover

Do not go into this one expecting a serious drama. This is meant to be over the top and cheesy and it delivers. Pond plays Thee, the misguided and misunderstood (pseudo)mafia heir who learns all he knows about love and how to interact with others from watching his mother's old drama series. Phuwin plays Peach, the loveable freelance photographer everyone wants to work with who adores his little sister and his bestie Aran (played by Santa). The storyline was successful in most areas, but the Aran and Tawan (played by Perth obviously) arc left something to be desired. Still, it has some really cute moments, and it has a lot of character development for both the leads. And bonus, this one has the guys playing roles their age rather than another university schtick. I enjoyed each episode (yes, even the kissing. I swear they get better with each new series) and think most Thai BL watchers will as well.

BL Romcom that will stick to me for a long time

This might have been the best BL series I have watched so far in terms of the "feel good" effect I experienced throughout watching this. Just pure joy and heartfelt moments done right. I think this is why it is rated so high on MDL (9.0 right now!!) and IMDB (8.8).

But speaking on technicalities, there are some things that I wish were done differently. From story aspect, Tawan-Aran love line was really questionable, and what was even the point of Shohei and Tawan's friendship... But I love other changes they've done from the novel, such as removing Shohei-Lookplub loveline (cos it's weird af that both siblings got hitched by mafias??), and cutting the entire Wiwid drama (cos why prolong his existence in the story when Khun Thee can just cut him off).

Acting wise, I have to give the highest salute to Pond Naravit. He was the true embodiment of Theerakit Kian Lee. Man, he nailed the role to the point I have difficulties trying to imagine anyone else as Khun Thee. Est was also brilliant as Mok, all his mannerisms as a bodyguard were on point. The rest of the casts were decent, even the supporting roles, with just some not-so-positive notes on Phuwin’s crying scene. I think he can do better with less frowning while crying.

The OSTs are lovely and the team incorporated them very well into the series along with the funny sound effects. Well most of the times though, cos I feel like the sound editing, especially for the last few episodes, can feel a bit unsmooth at times like they were done in a hurry (I guess they have deadlines to meet??).

Despite all the minor hiccups, overall it was a marvelous series. You can tell that the team put a lot of thoughts and efforts into this (along with the high budget) and the casts gave their best. And just like my review headline, this is a series that will stay with me for a long long time. Will be rewatched from time to time, and will be my ultimate go-to if someone ever asks me for recommendation on lighthearted BL series. Simply amazing

A funny rom com

I understand why this series is so popular. It’s true that I don’t get all the inside jokes that Thai viewers might understand, but I still had a really good time watching it.

That said, it’s not a series with a complex storyline don’t expect something like KinnPorsche. It’s more about enjoying the moment.

My only negative point and I know this might sound immature is the kissing scenes between Thee and Peach, which I found quite underwhelming. I wasn’t asking for intense make-out scenes, but we’re watching a love story… at least kiss properly.

After episode 7, something feels really off. Pond gives it his all, while Phuwin sorry only seems to give about 30%.

The characters also deserved more development; everything stays very surface-level.

Tawan and Aran are basically useless to the story, and we keep seeing the same trope with Perth and Santa, which is becoming ridiculous.

Despite all that, the series is very comforting and funny, and I really enjoy watching it

pond was designed to be khun thee, he truly gave life to the character and made me enjoy him even more! also huuuuge congratulations to est and bonnie here, amazing side character portrayal.
the tawanaran plot only truly happened in the series cuz gmm made them be a fixed couple pairing but i didn't like them in the novel and didn't like them in the series as well (not talking about PS here, pls); tawan is an awful person and i didn't enjoy that peach forgave him.
romemhok was too good, and i totally understand they didn't had their own development - they also don't have in the novel as well -.

really light and fun watch, truly had my time laughing a lot watching all of the eps,!!!

Most innocent and insane mafia boss ever

I watched this drama mainly because I really like the two lead actors, especially the male lead. He usually plays serious characters in other dramas, so seeing him in such a goofy, unserious role was refreshing and honestly very funny. His performance was the biggest highlight for me, and I laughed a lot because of him. Acting-wise, both leads did a good job, and that’s what kept me watching.

That said, the drama itself didn’t feel special. Even though the male lead is supposed to be a mafia boss, it never truly felt like a mafia story. He’s probably the most innocent and insane “mafia boss” I’ve ever seen, which was funny—but it also made the whole mafia angle feel fake. Compared to other mafia dramas, like King’s Porch and another one whose name I can’t quite remember, this one lacked suspense, surprises, and intense moments. In those dramas, you’re constantly curious about what will happen next, with unexpected twists, fights, and strong tension mixed with romance. This drama didn’t give that feeling at all.

Instead, it focused mostly on love, with a very watered-down, pretend version of the mafia world. Because of that, I couldn’t fully take the story seriously. I started watching it continuously at first, thinking something bigger would happen later, but once I realized nothing much was changing, I began watching slowly and skipping days. It actually took me about a month to finish the drama.

Overall, I can’t give this drama a high rating. I’ll give it a few extra stars purely for the acting and the male lead’s entertaining performance. If you’re looking for a real mafia drama, this isn’t it. But if you enjoy light romance with a funny, unconventional male lead, it’s still watchable—just don’t expect too much depth or excitement.

Pure Chaos, Pure Chemistry

As usual, PondPhuwin’s chemistry is off the charts, and they definitely delivered in this series. They had me laughing the entire time. Even with them being “extra,” it was not nearly as cringe as I expected. In fact, it worked really well and added to the charm.

WilliamEst’s acting has improved a lot. I honestly did not know they had that side in them, and it was great to see their growth on screen.

If you are looking for something a little chaotic but still funny and light hearted, this series is definitely worth a try.

The only downside is that it is too short. I really wish it had more episodes and went deeper into some of the characters’ stories.
