Duang with You

Not Just Good .. It's The Best

The warmth, relaxation, and comfort this series gave was phenomenal. I can't even move on from it for now. I haven't felt this way for so long. It’s all thanks to the writer for such a beautiful story, and to the director for making it come to life in such a perfect way.

And last but not least, the main actors conveyed the characters' depth very well even though they are new faces with such little experience. I can assure you that no one else could have played Duang and Qin as TeeTee and Por did. They were literally living the characters and acted with so much depth. I can't even imagine 'Duang With You' without them. And yes, they weren't great in every aspect of their acting, yet they successfully delivered every feeling and meaning the characters were meant to tell us such as the warmth, freshness, emotional depth, the cheesy yet cute moments, and being light and fun but still serious enough when needed.

In my opinion, this is the best BL series for me in recent years. There are undeniably a lot of great BL series with exceptional qualities, from production to acting details, but I can guarantee that no other series was able to pull off the same vibes as 'Duang With You' did in the same genre. I just adore this series and every part of the crew.

Some Extra Notes For Nostalgia:
I even remember the first time I found the 'Duang With You' Pilot (yes, not the trailer) and how I was literally hooked and rooted for it all the way. I vividly remember that was the time when Khemjira ended and 'Duang With You' just popped up in my YouTube recommendations. The view counts weren't that impressive back then and I didn't even recognize TeeTee and Por from 'Your Sky' because I didn't follow it that much. In fact, DWY had some of the lowest views among all the other DMD lineups at the same time (I'm not sure if it was for 2025 or 2026). But I gave the pilot a try anyway and it was literally my cup of tea, and I was so determined to watch this series for sure. Even though Khemjira didn't live up to my expectations, it still had such great production so I had no doubt that DMD wouldn't fail with 'DWY' either. Now that the series has ended, it's all part of the journey. I'm so delighted to see 'Duang With You' receive all the love and attention it deserves. Maybe I’m exaggerating with all the words, but I am more than satisfied with the results DWY achieved. I’m just glad I was there from the very start. This is just a side note for some nostalgic feeling.

10/10* star rating is just simply NOT enough!

One important thing I'd like to point out, and I'm not saying it's an inherently bad thing, but after seeing it so many times, it gets repetitive, boring, and even annoying or exhausting to invest your own emotions/feelings into the relationship of the characters that they are to have to just receive a few affectionate scenes in the last episode or two, then cut it short, skip so many important steps of the relationship development, and just hop onto smex right away or marriage even..? Like, make it make sense. If you are tired of series like these... 'Duang with you' could never!

This series is filled to the brim with smooth relationship progression, and even tho the talking phase is apparently totally different for each and every one of us, it does not disappoint. The anticipation that you built over the first few episodes is plentifully rewarded, and you will even get seconds - imagine. On top of that, when you think that you already ate well enough, they double down.

If you are a big fan of the romantic scenes, brace yourself because I don't think I've ever seen a couple that has such natural kisses and interactions overall. Their chemistry is truly unmatched, and their bodies seem to blend so naturally as if they were meant to be together from the very start of their existence. Just another proof that TeeteePor choosing each other was written in the stars - soulmates finding each other.

It's Teetee's and Por's first time having ML and acting out scenes like these, but they have already exceeded their senior colleagues in so many aspects! Of course, we have to give credit to the acting coaches, director, and production, as well as the others who ultimately helped make 'Duang with you' come to life together with TeeteePor.

The storyline goes very smoothly, nothing feels out of place or like it's missing, and it actually MAKES SENSE - unlike many other series I have seen in my lifetime.

If you believe communication is the key, you're in for a treat. They simply don't skimp on talking through tough situations and their feelings, uneasy scenarios and emotions get resolved very reasonably, and it actually makes the way they talk about it feel very real. It really helps you get immersed in the story, their relationship status, and it will make you believe and gulp down every interaction they have and every word they say. You won't be able to help but keep falling in love with the series, the characters, and, most importantly, the actors themselves.
But let me tell you about the sound effects, the BGM?! That's the true cherry on top of the cake here, don't let me get started on that! *Pip Pip Pip PIp Qin- Teetee Teetee Duang!*

As for the main characters; some might call Duang cringy or embarrassing, but for me, he is just lovable and endearing, and I don't get what everyone's problem is with how he expresses love and joy. So you BETTER watch your mouth! Some call Qin cold or heartless, but all he needs is love and understanding because he is just as lovely and adorable as Duang. Patience is the way to go on a long run. Side characters are just as delightful and funny as these two so look forward to them.

Happy endings are what I personally love, and I can't stress enough how much 'Duang with you' and TeeteePor are my pride and joy. I fell in love with them, and I don't think I'll ever be able to recover from them. This will be the series that will stick with me till the end of my days (not to sound dramatic). If you decide to give this series a chance (as you should) and get to know TeeteePor and others, they will inevitably grow to your hearts and won't let go.

If you still yearn for more after watching the series, I highly recommend reading the novel. You won't regret it, I promise. <3
Also follow the boys on SNS and give them and their other works love because the deserve it.

dmd finally making good shows

i am an absolute sucker for basic, simple, just fun and cute university dramas—so clearly this is right up my alley. BUT if you want a complex and interesting story this obviously isn’t the bl for you.

things i like:
- the classic grumpy x sunshine trope
- how unique duang’s personality is without being over the top + he doesn’t act like an actual child despite being silly
- the supporting cast are all very natural and they seem like actual, comfortable friends
- ost is so catchy i’ve been singing it for a whole month
- plot is easy to follow without being boring
- the acting is very good considering this is most of the cast’s first or one of their first projects
- the fun sound effects
- honestly everything TT

things i dislike:
- there is some cringe moments where i seriously had to pause and take a breather…

anyways this is just the fluffiest and sweetest drama and teeteepor are just so cute and attractive together!!!!!

I Want A Duang in My Life

That headline is how I feel after having watched eleven episodes of this series. I hesitated to write this review because I have not seen the last episode. But I don't think the finale will invalidate what I feel. Like many, I don't want this series to end. Then again, all good things must come to an end.
I'll try to cover this topic by topic.

Duang Is WITH YOU
To be fair, Duang the character may not suit everyone. He is transparent. Vocal. Sometimes over the top. But ultimately, he is full of love. Committed. Unafraid to drown you in his affection.
Teetee brings this character to life in the best possible way. The range he shows is frankly impressive. And it's why I grew to love the character. Duang can be excessive, but in the right moment, Teetee reveals an incredibly mature person who is present not out of addiction but out of sincere affection. I felt warm watching him. And I can understand why Qin would feel that warmth too.
I also have to applaud Por for making me feel the warmth Qin feels. The build-up is gradual. I can see Qin's fear and hesitation. But I can also feel his desire. Sure, there were moments when the acting felt awkward. But overall, it works incredibly well, especially considering this is Por's first lead role. He carried the character with real conviction. And that must be because he is in the company of a great ensemble.
The friends in this series shine as well. I wish there had been more moments with them, but I understand the constraints. There is not much real estate to tell their stories. Still, the actors brought out their characters well enough to make me want to know more. That says everything about how cohesive this ensemble has been.

The Cinema
The director and the entire production team did an incredible job. Major props to the director of cinematography. The way they shape the light. The way the colorist sets the mood and balances each scene. Everything works remarkably well.
I am particularly enamored by a scene in Episode 9. The scene by the piano. The actors look impeccable. The color is perfectly suited for the emotion. The way the light sculpts them is nothing short of perfection.
There are continuity issues here and there, but nothing severe enough to spoil a scene. Overall, a job beautifully done.

The Soundscape
I can understand why some viewers would be bothered by the sound effects. But I see this as a cute series, so I don't mind them. It also helps that the soundtracks are beautiful. The mixing is superb. I love the fact that the dialogue is always clear. The background music very rarely drowns it out. It is almost always complementary. Another job well done.

The Message
This series is loaded with examples that highlight the importance of communication in relationships. Between lovers, family, and friends. There are so many instances that show the depth of empathy these characters carry.
I appreciate that the two leads have the range required to bring out the best of these messages. Teetee and Por have bewitched me.
Qin carries childhood wounds that the series handles with extraordinary care. The writing never sensationalizes what happened to him. It lets the weight of it sit in his body. In the way he flinches. In what he asks for and what he cannot bring himself to ask for. Por carries all of this without a single false note. I sometimes choke up whenever I recall just how grounded Qin is despite everything. He could have ended up a complete disaster. But he did not. And the series never lets you forget what that composure costs him.

I wholeheartedly recommend this series. But I also recommend that you watch it with an open mind. Let the characters tell their stories. You may find it as rewarding as I have.
Duang With You is, without a doubt, the most lovable BL series I have seen so far. It is adorable and full of moments that make my heart leap and appreciate the beautiful.

I’ve never been this obsessed

As someone who has watched over 150 bls of all kinds, Duang With You easily became my top 1. Mind you, this genre isn’t even my cup of tea, and characters like Duang usually irk me to the point I had to drop the show (that is usually the case when actors don’t embed their character well enough or simply bad writing). But TeeteePor have executed their roles so unbelievably well that I’m eagerly waiting every second just for the new ep to drop (DWY lives rent free in my head 24/7 it’s sickening). This is my first time ever to be able to finish a DMD show, the last ones didn’t do it for me and I always dropped them mid way. Either way, I’ll surely support TeeteePor’s future projects. Please go watch Duang With You if you haven’t. Peak frfr.
