Duang with You

Not The Best, But Still Good

I’m honestly shocked that a series I love this much has a 9.1 rating kwhsjs. Not everyone may connect with it, but for me, it's everything.

I found Duang With You on the exact day it was released. I randomly came across with it, then found its pilot and got captivated from the very first scene. Still, I didn’t expect much at the time since it was just a pilot.

But when the first episode dropped, I was surprised by how much I loved it. Watching felt like I was living through their moments. I got completely hooked. I waited for it every week at the same time, and with each new episode, I was pulled in even deeper. I’ve never connected with a series like this before. A 1hr. episode would take me 4–8 hours to finish because I kept pausing, rewatching, and writing down my thoughts and interpretations. I just wanted to absorb everything.

The series also added a lot of content that wasn’t in the novel, which gave more depth and drama to the story. Some moments felt especially real because of how immersed the actors were, like in Episode 6, where Duang wasn’t even supposed to cry, but the emotion just came out naturally. Also rushed scenes (?), like the NC scene in Episode 12, which I believe was improvised, but was still delivered well.

I could honestly say so much more, but I’ll stop here. I’m really happy that this series and the actors getting the recognition they deserve, though I can’t help but feel a bit nervous about possible negativity. Hopefully, it continues to be appreciated for what it is.

***Did I spot p'Aoftian's back as a cameo when they were in Japan?

Initially thought the love line of Jamie and Mar a bit out of place but, it tied it very nicely with how it developed the character of Jamie, who's a playboy but turned into a lover boy downbad for Mar. Didn't mind it at all!

Jamie is still my best boy!

BEST SERIES I’VE EVER WATCHED IN MY LIFE

This series has EVERYTHING! 💗On the surface, it may seem like a cute campus romance but it is so much more than that. Duang with you is the perfect mix of romance and deep topics that make the characters relationship so much more meaningful and entertaining to watch. No sudden conflicts, that came out of nowhere, no nonsensical fights, just pure love and understanding.

The amount of detail that this series has is INSANE. Every rewatch you can find something new you haven’t seen or realised before. Every episode comes out with something interesting that keeps you wanting to watch it again and again (exactly what I did while waiting for the next episodes to come out). Also this series is SO FUNNY. Duang’s friend group always has me giggling, while also being very reliable and supportive of Duang, helping him win Qin over and giving him advice.

Don’t get me started on the songs from this series. They have 10 original songs (INSANE) and all of them are BANGERS.

Duang is literally my favorite character EVER, I can’t stress this enough. He may seem happy all the time, but you can see when he’s hurting and when he overthinks (TEETEE SUCH A GOOD ACTOR).
Qin’s character development is INSANE!! In the beginning you may think he’s being cold towards Duang, but if you pay attention you can notice that that’s not the case.
Every scene in this series is meaningful and remarkable, with deep topics that really make you attached to the characters.

The acting is just INCREDIBLE!!!!! You can notice small but VERY meaningful details in the actors face expressions if you pay attention.
The chemistry between the actors is CRAZY!!! Teeteepor really outdid themselves!!! From being a bluetooth couple to THIS?!??

The ending is INCREDIBLE and the series feels wrapped up perfectly.
There are no scenes that leave a bad feeling, like it tends to happen in these bls, since the characters are extremely well written and literally made for each other.

Also this has got to be the BEST novel adaptation I’ve ever seen. There are so many scenes that appear from the novel that have been done accurately, but also some new scenes that really compliment the story.

I’m not even exaggerating, Duang with you has changed my life. I’ve been watching this series ongoing from the first episode until now and these have been the best 2 months of my life. Never in my life have I been so excited for a show to come out with a new episode.

I truly recommend this incredible cinematic experience to everybody!!!! You’re REALLY missing out!!!💗

I loved it at first........ Don't get me wrong it's great

Duang with you was quite nice in the first few episodes. I did quite like it. Duang was persistent and was cold and everything. Typical love story a bit cliché though But I loved it anyway. I looked forward to each episode releases which are on Saturday evenings for my region. I genuinely thought it would be a soft story but it turned out to be quite emotional. Qin had a difficult childhood and all, I get that but like I really thought he was going to be a cold top. he's actually so fragile and it always makes duang want to protect him. Also, it's always duang helping him I wanna see Qin also doing something because I don't really like the fact that Duang always has to run after him like a hopeless puppy. I know that's the whole plot but still. I hope the ending is good BTW. And one last thing WHY DO THEY KEEP CUTTING OUT THE SCENES. At this point it reminds me of china that everything has to be censored 😪. In all I really love this series and I highly recommend it

“Sometimes Love Is Just Staying

Duang With You is the kind of drama that doesn’t try too hard to impress you, yet still manages to leave a lasting feeling.

At first glance, the story feels simple and calm. There is no overwhelming drama or intense conflict at the beginning. Instead, it introduces us to a soft and slow-paced connection between Duang and Qin. However, as the story progresses, you begin to understand that its strength lies in its subtle emotional depth rather than loud storytelling.

The dynamic between the two main characters is what truly carries the series. Duang, with his warm and open personality, contrasts beautifully with Qin, who is more reserved and emotionally guarded. Their relationship is not built on instant attraction or dramatic confessions, but rather on small, meaningful moments that gradually bring them closer together.

One of the most compelling aspects of the drama is how it explores emotional distance and personal healing. Qin’s character, in particular, reflects someone who has learned to protect himself due to past experiences. Instead of forcing change, Duang’s presence becomes a quiet source of comfort and understanding. This makes their connection feel natural and believable.

The pacing may feel slow for viewers who prefer more intense or plot-driven stories, but for those who enjoy character-focused narratives, it works well. The drama allows the audience to sit with the characters and experience their emotions without rushing.
Overall, Duang With You is a soft, emotionally grounded BL that focuses more on feeling than spectacle. It may not be the most dramatic series, but it offers a gentle and comforting story about connection, patience, and emotional growth.

Do you need comfort, sweetness, cuteness? ... It's for you!

PLOT: Duang, a first-year Arts student, falls head over heels for Qinn, who sings at the Freshmen welcome Show. Duang decides to do everything he can to win over Qinn, a super popular Music student, but cold, very introverted, even aloof. Some seniors ask them to perform a duet at an event, forcing Qinn to spend time with Duang every day. Duang, cheerful, super enthusiastic, childlike, optimistic... will do everything he can to melt Qinn's heart.

+++ In the first few episodes, Duang of is unbearable, intrusive, even a stalker and harasser. But later, he becomes more serious, and the character is then pleasant, respectful, and endearing.
+++ Por [so handsome, he looks like he came straight out of a manga] and TeeTee are very cute, very young but talented, and have a very natural chemistry. I'm looking forward to their future series (。ˇ ⊖ˇ）♡)
+++ Excellent cast, with well-developed secondary characters.
+++ Flawless direction: pacing, framing & lighting, sound design, and emotional mix.
+++ Pleasant OSTs.
+++ No villain or break-up. Kenchana!

### A few clichés: rich and overwhelmed parents; friends giving insane advice...
### Here, (as always in BLs) the male lead suffers from trauma. Can't you be gay without suffering, without having trauma??

=> No profound message, no real depth, but a lot of sweetness and kindness. It feels good :)
***************************************

### Ici, (comme toujours ds les BL) le ML souffre d'1 trauma. On ne peut pas être gay sans souffrir, sans avoir de trauma ??

=> Pas de message profond, mais bcp de douceur, de bienveillance. Cela fait du bien :)

OMG how is this so good!!!

I am relatively quite new to the bl genre and this show was largely my first bl series. I picked it at random without any knowledge or trailer to clue me in, and I was beyond pleasantly surprised! The characters feel so grounded and their chemistry so genuine that I completely binged this entire show in 2 days. Their interactions were so good that I kept replaying them and they even replayed in my mind when I was away from the screen. I spent 3 hours rewatching a 20 minute, basically uncut, raw emotional and relationship development scene between the two characters. 3 HOURS on a 20 MIN scene!!!!! Thats just how good the chemistry and artistry was. I was so pleasantly amazed by this show and the high its given me that I've been looking desperatly for some show to replace its absence with, with no luck yet. In the meantime I might just have to rewatch it again.
