Duang with You — A Love Story About Never Giving Up
What I loved most about Duang with You is that it isn't simply a romance. At its heart, it's a story about perseverance. It's about refusing to give up on someone you genuinely care about, even when things don't go the way you hoped. That message gives the drama much more depth than the average university BL and makes the romance feel earned instead of rushed.The story is simple, but it knows exactly what it wants to tell. Rather than relying on endless misunderstandings or unnecessary drama, it focuses on the small moments that slowly bring two people closer together. Every setback only makes the relationship stronger, and that's what kept me emotionally invested until the very end.
The cast is absolutely adorable.
TeeTee has the kind of smile that could melt almost anyone. His enthusiasm and sincerity make Duang impossible not to love, and he carries the optimism of the story perfectly. Por, on the other hand, has an incredibly youthful face. Even though both actors are in their early twenties, they look so young that some of the more intimate scenes almost make you forget they're adults. Their innocence becomes part of their charm and gives the romance a sweetness that feels completely natural.
What I also liked is that their relationship never feels locked into traditional expectations. Their personalities complement each other so well that I could easily imagine them as a truly versatile couple, with neither one defined by a fixed role in their relationship. That balance fits the way their romance develops throughout the series and makes them feel like genuine equals.
The production is equally charming. The university setting is colourful without becoming unrealistic, the cinematography matches the warm atmosphere, and the soundtrack quietly supports the emotional scenes. Nothing tries to steal the spotlight from the characters themselves, which is exactly the right decision.
Final Thought
Duang with You reminded me that sometimes the simplest stories are also the most touching. It's a drama about patience, determination, and believing that love is worth fighting for. Add an incredibly likeable cast and a relationship that's easy to believe in, and you get one of the sweetest BLs I've watched this year.

So cliché but so cute
June 5, 2026Duang With You is some cliche romance final boss Thai BL. I am not sure what kind of condition possessed Duang because he is so hilarious. It does not even feel like a drama, it feels like I am watching a sit-com every time he pulls his random antics. I genuinely do think that Duang and Qin is just TeeTee and Por in real life.
Their chemistry is amazing hence why I can see why the ratings for this series is so high. Though, I must say, the plot is doable to watch but it took me a while to finish it. Not gonna lie, I do think the ratings are heavily influenced by the casts rather than the plot. Regardless, it is a cute show to watch and good dose of comedy injected into your veins.

ADORKABLE CHAOS AND QUIET HEALING
Duang is a decorative arts student who is loud, clumsy, and unapologetically honest about his feelings. He falls for Qin, a jazz student who is famously 'icy' and rejects everyone. Instead of backing down when he's not immediately accepted, Duang tells Qin he isn't asking for permission; he's just letting him know he's going to win him over.TeeTee playing a character as high-energy as Duang can easily become annoying, but TeeTee gives him a vulnerability that makes you root for him. His 'adorkable' energy is balanced by a deep empathy. Por plays Qin with incredible subtlety. He doesn't stay cold for the sake of the trope; you slowly realize his walls are a 'survival language' from his past. Seeing him 'glow' once he lets Duang in is one of the most satisfying character arcs of the year.
Furthermore, while the show uses playful sound effects and physical comedy, it doesn't shy away from themes of PTSD and the courage it takes to be sincere in a world that often rewards being guarded. For a rom-com, the cinematography is gorgeous, with soft palettes, and a soundtrack that features the leads (from their group DEXX) makes it feel very polished.
In conclusion, Duang with You is a 'sugar rush to the heart.' If you want a drama that is silly enough to make you laugh out loud but sincere enough to make you tear up, this is it.

ESTOU CURADA !!!
esse bl me curou namoralquando eu dei play eu não estava esperando algo tão comédia assim
mas quando percebi q era isso eu só aceitei pq senão eu ia odiar mt o duang
e ainda bem q fiz isso pq seria uma pena odiar ele
ele é doidinho mas é uma pessoa mt carinhosa
ele é um querido de vdd mesmo se passando horrores
eu o adoro mt
fora que a dinâmica dele com o qin é perfeitissima !!!!
ele é suuuper um top sub e o qin é super um bottom dom
o duang tem os 4 pneu arriado pro qin
obedece super ele igualzinho um cachorrinho mesmo (pq ele real real gosta MUITO do qin)
e old q o qin adora isso e adora mandar nele
e eu amei q eles sao real perfeitos e parecem um casal mesmo
vivem dando beijinho e cheirinho um no outro, vivem agarrados, dormem juntos, saem juntos, conheceram a família um do outro, viajaram juntos, fazem bastante sexo (as cenas sao bbd), adotaram um cachorro, conversam sempre etc etc
é surreal a química deles de vdd
e aqui funciona perfeitamente o casal não correr risco real de se separar pq eles são do tipo q estão dispostos a conversarem e resolverem qualquer mal entendido ou falta de comunicação pq eles real se gostam mt e não tem nada interferindo esse sentimento
o qin tem a história mais complicada aqui né e eu adorei ele se abrindo pro duang gradativamente conforme os eps iam passando
o duang realmente veio pra somar na vida dele é mt bonito
enfm vou dizer só isso pq se deixar eu poderia falar bastante sobre eles pq a dinâmica e a química desse casal em agradou muiitooooooooo
vou falar outras coisas
▪︎acho que a história seria melhor se desenvolvesse mais os outros personagens também (não os pais, o tempo de tela deles pra mim foi ok)
▪︎ justamente pelo ponto acima eu não curti mt o casal secundário (pulei quase todas as cenas pq além da história deles não ter me prendido eu achei eles meio sem química)
▪︎ também por causa disso o grupo de amigos do duang é mais interessante q o do qin (eles são super engraçados sério)
▪︎a parte do ex é meio pá também meio confusa mas ainda bem q isso não durou mt e nao atrapalhou o casal principal🙏
▪︎isso é mais uma coisa q eu gostaria de ver mas vou falar mesmo assim, acho q seria melhor ainda se o duang fosse autista canon e isso fosse explícito na série (mas talvez seja melhor assim mesmo pq pode ser q não soubessem trabalhar com isso e cagassem tudo né)
é isso não tenho mt oq criticar
é um bl leve pra vc ver e torcer mt pelo casal e ficar vidrado neles e se deliciar com as cenas dos dois juntos
eu gostei muitoooo to mt feliz
serio tinha momentos vendo q eu chegava a sentir oq eles tavam sentindo e derretia de amores junto !
adorei as músicas e gostei do final também com o show da banda ficou bem legal pq normalmente essas cenas de shows ficam meio ruins mas aqui foi tao lehal q fui até ouvir a banda no spotify
recomendo muitíssimo esse !!!

why is the content rating 13+
theres no way this is rated 13+ I thought the scene was going to end but It just keeps going. like even in other BL's the scene normally ends by the time they kiss but they didnt stop💔 Anyways this was a great show, I loved Duang's personality but not to down play Qin's trauma or anything but seriously like the writers couldn't think of ANYTHING more traumatizing? I understand how something like that would affect Qin's personality but like the fact they made it such a big deal like Qin has to genuinely learn to let go of some memories, Aint no way they made him "let go of his younger selfs hand" like it was such a big thing to let go of im dead. Anyways great show, amazing acting though and also the music is fire but personally I wouldn't rewatch it as I felt the show just dragged along and I just felt so bored.Was this review helpful to you?
A familiar plot, beautifully packaged.
Nothing new in the story, characters, and the scenes. It is highly predictable; you can see the next scene, and sometimes even the dialogues, from a few hundred miles away!It is not at all a bad series, just an incredibly familiar one. Still, it is worth watching (If you want familiar cozy story) and the opening credit is top notch!

Nah
For me, the main issue is the tone and pacing. Duang With U leans really heavily into soft, slow-burn interactions, which can feel kind of dragged out if you’re used to more intense or dramatic BLs. The chemistry is there, but it’s subtle—almost too subtle—so it doesn’t hit as strongly emotionally compared to shows with more obvious tension or stakes.Another thing is the storyline. It’s pretty light and slice-of-life, which isn’t bad, but it can feel like not much is actually happening. If you like plots with conflict, twists, or possessive/obsessive dynamics (like the kind you’ve liked before), this one might feel kind of flat or low-energy.

A DRAMA THAT'S REFRESHING IN ITS CUTEST FORM
After a long time, I have witnessed such an energetic and refreshing series loaded with cuteness.The way the script is set up is very different from the usual school BL dramas. At first, I was a little disappointed with the character "Qinn" because he kept pushing "Duang" away. But as the episodes went on, it became clear why Qinn was acting the way he was: his painful past was keeping him from letting anyone into his heart. "It is often in the darkest skies that we see the brightest stars," says the saying. "Duang" also comes into "Qinn's" life as a sun and brings him back to the light, leading them on a happy and beautiful life journey.
When it comes to acting, all of the actors in the series do a good job. TeeTee's natural, happy, and bubbly acting steals the show from beginning to end. I feel like "Duang" is the oxygen of this drama, and it always reminds me that we all need a friend like "Duang" who will always be there for us and be loyal, respectful, and happy. Without a doubt, Por's acting is just as good as TeeTee's. The supporting characters were great, especially the "friend zone" of the main characters. Finally, I want to say a few words about the character "Duang's mother." She is the cutest mother I've seen in any of the BL shows I've watched so far. She does a great job of playing the part!
For me, "Duang with You" isn't a series; it's a tonic that made my Saturdays lively and refreshing for two and a half months. I'm going to miss "Duang" so much! But, I'm looking forward to TeePor's next together.

Duang is me, I am Duang
"I'm not a fan of cutesy school romances" I said with confidenceI was then shot 57 times
No but seriously, it took less than 10 minutes, and I was hooked. Not only was Duang exceptionally honest about his feelings, he was also ridiculously skilled at communicating them. Something that most people struggle with.
The actors did a lovely job at bringing their characters to life, and at making me run around my room every 5 minutes. The OST was something totally different from what you usually find in BLs, and the cute sound effects??? Excuse me, I think they stole my heart.
Oh and Qin was an absolute #diva
10/10, would say I'd rewatch it again. But I already did.
2 times...

Incredible.
🎭 acting: 10/10
📖 plot: 10/10
🪷 overall rating: 10/10
🧡 favorite character: DUANG. , i literally never related to anyone so much in my life.
📝 review: oh this is ginna be so long.
Im not biased, I actually started with such low expectations. Duang with you was my first approach to Thai Bl and honestly I would've never expected that I'd fall in love with this series, more than the series I fell in love with the story.
I can't find the words to describe how good they handles such a heart warming plot in just 12 episodes, The whole pacing was comfortable, slow but giving you satisfaction, I loved how healthy the relationship were, between friends , duangs family, the warrior tiger trio ❤️ and ofc, duangqin. This is a story of two people choosing eachother , accepting the other flaws and helping each other in difficult times giving space, comfort and most imortantly , choices. The whole cast was insanely good. The acting made me feel really close to the characters, it was full of laughs and silliness but also gave space to more complicated emotions like jealousy, regret, hesitation, childhood trauma and abuse. The music, sigh. The osts really convey all the characters feelings , every song was very well played and inserted at the best of times, the lyrics helped you understand what the characters thought, their fears, their worries and their love. I honestly can't explain how close to my earth duang with you has been, and will be for a long time, even if I'll move on from this, I'll always keep Duang With You in a very special place in my heart 🩵
extra: I'm really proud of teeteepor, they came so far and will keep to make our hearts throb 🩵 keep it up angels.

Enjoyable overall
I almost clicked off the first 2 eps multiple times. The story just didn't suck me in, I would feel the urge to skip ahead or stop watching. I'm glad I stuck with it in the end, it started getting good for me in ep3 and the series as a whole was enjoyable. I do wish the secondary couple had an on screen declaration though but I still enjoyed their story. Not gonna lie, the English did cringe me out a bit, but I think people on the internet are making way too big of a deal over it. It truly didn't impact the story that much.Was this review helpful to you?
THE BEST OF THE BEST!
This is really by far, the best BL series I've ever watched.I've seen quite a few BL series before, but this is the first time I've been this invested in a pairing.
I'm not blind, I know this series has received mixed opinions, and I respect that. But personally, I have to disagree. Yes, the plot is familiar. The storyline is predictable. But it still felt like such a breath of fresh air.
Duang is a perfect character to me, and I honestly don't understand why some people think otherwise. He's so human. A true lover boy, a walking green flag, he respects boundaries, remains patient, remembers even the smallest details about the person he loves, and is willing to step back if that's what the other person needs.
And Qin... hmm, he's probably one of the most realistic characters I've seen. That's why I'm always confused when people criticize him for being quiet. Trauma affects people differently yk. If you've never experienced something that makes you withdraw from the world, then I'm genuinely happy for you. But Qin's reactions felt incredibly real to me. And despite everything he's been through, he's strong. Really, really strong.
Ironically, I think the series being "predictable" is part of what made it so enjoyable. You may have an idea of where the story is going, but the performances keep surprising you. The emotions never feel predictable.
At the end of the day, a good script can only take you so far. When the actors genuinely have chemistry, every scene just hits differently.
Duang With You will always have a special place in my heart. 🤍
