“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 :)

I loved the novel, the film adaptation did not disappoint
A lot has been said in previous reviews, I'll just add: It's one of the few series that you can watch over and over again and still have fun. A light, non-toxic romantic story of two different personalities from different families. Advice for those who have finished reading: In combination with reading the novel (contains NSFW) and special episodes, you will always have a smile on your face and tears of emotion in your eyes. I recommend fans of the second couple to read the novel: "Even Better - Jamie and Mars"Was this review helpful to you?
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.Was this review helpful to you?
"Not the best but still good"
Just the name says "Not the Best But Still Good" , the story and plot of this series are very simple but on a deeper level it deals with so many problems and heals something in me. Like everyone has their own "The right one" series and "duang with you" is mine. I always end up not finishing a series no matter how good it is , i've always preferred reading and series seemed to be rushed for me and couldn't quite capture my heart but my one & only exception is "duang with you" please give it a watch , it's silly yet warms your heart in many ways.Was this review helpful to you?
This series will never disappoint you
I don’t think words will ever be enough to fully capture how much I love this series. I’ll always be grateful for that random moment—like fate, honestly, when I came across that one DuangQin clip from the pilot episode. That single video was enough to pull me in, to make me want to start something I didn’t even expect much from at first. The storyline wasn’t exactly new or groundbreaking, but maybe it was my situation back then—as an elementary practice teacher, tired and searching for something comforting, that made this series hit differently. I needed something warm, something that could quietly stay with me, and DWY became exactly that.When the first episode dropped, I watched it immediately. And believe it or not, no BL series has ever hooked me within the first ten minutes of the very first episode—until this one. There was something so genuine, so effortlessly engaging, that I couldn’t look away.
I honestly think a huge part of this series’ success comes from how perfectly they cast the characters. Teetee as Duang… I genuinely cannot imagine anyone else who could portray him the way he did. The same goes for Por as Qin. They didn’t just act the roles, they 'became' them. Their acting feels so natural, so sincere, that even their most intimate scenes never felt forced or exaggerated. It was subtle, soft, and real—just *chef’s kiss*
Beyond that, everything else fell perfectly into place. The character development was carefully built, the pacing never rushed nor dragged, and the attention to detail was incredibly consistent. Even the parallels woven throughout the story added depth in such a quiet but powerful way. It’s rare to find a series where everything aligns so well—but this one did.
And that’s why, for me, it’s not just a series. It’s something I’ll carry with me for a long time.

IT'S THE MOST PERFECT AND CUTE SERIES ON THE PLANET❤️?❤️?❤️?
Everything in this series is amazing, the acting, cast, the songs, couples, characters, everything is wonderful, if you want a cute and romantic series it's this one, Duang is a love and the way he treats is wait Qin is simply beautiful, there's no hurry, it's in Qin's time. The sound effects of this series are splendid and very cute!! I almost lack words to describe the magnitude of the perfection that this series is. The friendship between Duang, Pae and Jamie is beautiful and very comforting, I say the same to Qin and his friends, this series is the series of my life, the reason for my living. The way Qin "gives in" to Duang is falling in love more and more it's wonderful, he realizes how charismatic, attentive and careful Duang is, he smiles silly sometimes this is beautiful my god😭 I will never have another series like this, the way they show affection, affection is very natural and unique, I will never see this in another BL, they in addition to being a couple are friends, partners and understand each other perfectly Teetee and Por were made for each other, not to mention the performance of Wave and North that was very good the two are very funny and everyone in this series fits perfectly in these roles and as if they were playing themselves. That said, it's the best series this universe has ever had and I highly recommend it if you disagree, disagree there from your house ❤️Was this review helpful to you?
Duaaaang!
Watch this, really!I watched this a couple days ago and wow!! I was searching for a more cute soft bl drama, kinda youth vibes, and thats what i've got. This bl really healed me, i was tired of bl's that were too complicated or hard to watch, and this one is definitely easy and good to watch, i felt good and happy all the episodes that were happy, and i could get emotional when i had to. And when i was watching i always felt kinda silly happy bursting with happiness just like Duang. Its a very light series that made me wanna live again, lol. We had some spice and emotional moments too, all in good amounts. The chosen actors were amazing, all of them good choices, they're all adorable and act really well, even tho they're not in this career for much long.
I know some people could "cringe" in some moments, but thats absolutely not me, i felt just like Duang freaking out cutely.
To finish: Duang love Qin, Qin love Duang!

Beautiful
The love they give is so beautiful. I found it funny and cute. I laughed and cried. Tee and Por did a great job. Hoping to see more of them together. I loved all episodes. The friends on both sides were wonderful. When it comes to the parents of Qin they should have done better for him when it came to the nanny abusing him. Glad to see him confront them on his feeling. We happy a ending so beautiful. ❤️ 💖 ❣️ 💕 💘 ❤️Was this review helpful to you?
Best BL Series on 2026 so far...
This show was just *chef's kiss*. I honestly don't know what I am going to do without TeeTeePor on my Saturday agenda. They brought life to DuangQin and you can see the love they have for not just their characters but each other. They are a great pairing and I cannot wait to see more of them in future series!(I cannot believe how much I cried throughout this whole series, which in my case? Is the best sign of a GREAT series.)

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.
