Duang with You

This is what happens when a BL exceeds every expectation.

One of the best BL dramas I’ve watched in all six years of being a BL fan. And after watching over 100 BLs, that says a lot. This drama completely and utterly exceeded all of my expectations.

I honestly never thought I would give a BL a 10/10 anytime soon, because after being in this community for so long, I’ve built very high standards and expectations. But Duang With You truly earned it.

From the very first episode to the very last, this drama was wonderful. The butterflies I felt, the giggles, the screaming in my room during episodes — I’m sure everyone in my house thought I had completely lost it.

This was such beautifully written love story between Duang and Qin. Duang is truly the definition of a green flag — the ultimate golden retriever boyfriend. Meanwhile, Qin was more closed off, someone who didn’t easily open up to people he didn’t know or trust. And in the end, he let Duang into his heart… and Duang got in there deeply.

I loved every single moment of their relationship development. Watching it grow slowly throughout the episodes made everything feel even more rewarding. I especially loved seeing Qin completely fall under Duang’s charm.

Man… Duang was so good for Qin.

Their relationship felt healthy, genuine, and full of warmth, and I enjoyed every second they were on my screen.

Honestly, I feel like I could keep talking forever about how amazing this BL was.❤️

Not the best, but still good

You know that thing that kinda annoys you at first, but you find yourself going back? Like it just grates at you, but for whatever reason, you keep going back coz something about it calls to you? That was this show to me. Maybe I'm subconsiously a masochist.

☀️What I Liked🌑
1. The acting - There are parts that I for sure did not like. However, when the gimmicky parts of the plots are drawn back, you get to see just how well these guys act. Especially TeeTee, who plays Duang. When they stop making him play a literal dog, you can see the immediate change in his face and aura.

That man can act. A good example is in the finale, after their conversation with Jamie on the phone, and Qin tells Duang that they can sleep together. You can see the immediate switch on this face. I wish we saw more of that serious/toned-down side of him

Por, his smile is absolutely beautiful. In terms of acting, I think he was OK. I didn't cringe at it. However, it is harder to critique him as his character, Qin, doesn't have that much of an emotional range, meaning Por doesn't use his facial muscles much. Likely since Qin's supposed to be more reserved.

He could do better with his crying scenes, but overall, based on the little we got from what he had to work with, I think it was OK. Hopefully, we get to see him as a more expressive character in the future. I think I'd like that.

As for the wider cast, some were cringe, most were average. No one quite stood out for me.

2. The Production Value - Based on my experiences with Dumondi through 'Khemjira', 'Love Upon a Time', 'Zomvivor', and now 'Duang with You', the company has some incredible people behind their cameras. Their cinematography is top-notch. Up there with (dare I say) a company like BOC. They know what works and what to do with the camera and the lighting.

Lemme gush about lighting for a second, the blue light on Qin in episode 6. Holy shit. I know that scene was supposed to be hot, but that light on him. Oh, it framed him beautifully. The NC scenes in episodes 9 and 12 are also filmed so beautifully. I know the actors have to do their job to sell these scenes to the audience, but the people on the lights and cameras have to be recognized for how well they highlight the actors and their actions in said scenes

3. The chemistry - What I keep thinking is, 'if these characters can give us this much chemistry in a fluffy, college show, what do you think they can do with a more mature, perhaps even darker show?' I think I would spontaneously combust.
PS. I know most people loved their 1st kiss in episode 4. I didn't like it. It wasn't reciprocal enough for me. But the kisses in episodes 9 and 12... That's where it's at. That's where they actually and equally shine

4. The communication - They are surprisingly mature in how they communicate and refuse to let things fester. This show isn't driven by miscommunication, and I love that. And this isn't just with the main characters, even within the wider friend groups. They argue, yes, but take the time to talk things over and fix them.

🚨What I Didn't Like/Could've Been Better🚨

1. It can be overly comedic - This is an ongoing issue for me. Oftentimes, Thai BLs do this kind of humor that doesn't quite land for me. It's over the top, a bit forced, and just so confusing. I remember being thoroughly annoyed by the comedy that I had to note down my feelings after episode 4. Good thing they toned it down as the show proceeded. Or maybe I tuned it out...? IDK. But I think it's the former.

2. Duang's characterization - He is very childish, especially in the 1st half. I think it's meant to be cute, but it comes off as immature, taking you out of the headspace where you're supposed to view him as a potential love interest. And for the love of Christ, why did he have to act like an actual dog for most, if not all, of the 1st half of this?

I think the makers of this show wanted to portray him as this sunshine golden retriever, which, cool, no problem. But why make him mimic an actual dog? Why was he panting on my screen? You can 100% do a golden retriever character without the dog traits. It's been done before. I'm still unsure why they insisted on it.

3. The 2nd couple - With how the streets were excited about the introduction of Marvis, I thought the 2nd couple would have a bigger role to play in the overall story. Only, no, that wasn't to be the case. So much could have been done with a story about 2 playboys falling for each other, but they just let that drown. Then, they only let the combined friend group meet Marvis for 2.5 seconds in the finale. Tsk, tsk.

4. The performances - I mean all the singing and dancing. So during the course of watching this drama, I learnt that the 2 main characters are part of a Tpop band under Domondi. Which could explain why I had to spend about 20+ minutes or so (divided btwn 2 episodes) watching them perform full songs and dance routines.
However, I shouldn't have had to sit through all that. Christina Aguilera and Cher singing and dancing in the 2010 movie 'Burlesque' makes sense coz that is a musical film. Duang with You isn't a musical, so none of that extended singing and dancing made sense to me

5. The situation with Qin's parents - It should've been handled better. The resolution was too quick and too shallow, especially after that long flashback to Qin's childhood. The child actor and the woman who played the nanny should be commended for their acting, though. I was simultaneously heartbroken and pissed off to the high heavens

Would I rewatch this? Absolutely not. I cannot handle a 2nd round of Duang

Could be better but it's great

One of the best releases the company ever had alongside with Khemjira, i hope they can keep up with the quality and chemistry between leads.

Duang is a little too much a lot of the time but suprisingly, he can regulate himself in moments that ask for a more centered and serious stand. Qin is truly the sweetest thing to ever exist, i love his progression so much it almost hurts. Everyone else in this cast pale in comparison to them and i like it that way, nothing irritates me more than second and third couples being more interesting than the main just to jumpstart their careers.
They still do it here quite a bit with one of the couples, but it's never more than banter and sugestive scenes so it's ok in my point of view.

That being said, the rest of the show is very weak and it's the source material's fault, the novel is mediocre to say the least, the writers apparently had to make up a lot to fill 12 episodes and unfortunately you can definitely tell towards the end. After the whole 'almost-boyfriend-from-school' problem is resolved it's clear that they don't have anything interesting to talk about, so we got the abuse plot, which was very weird and could've been literally anything else. I skipped watched it and it changed nothing in my viewing experience.

It was incredible to see an real young couple being portraited in a bl production: holding hands, small kisses, fighting and talking it out, making out, having an insane sex drive and being idiots by trying to go at it in public spaces. People in love are dumb and sweet independent of sexual orientation and we FINALLY got a normal couple after years and years lacking it.

The last time i truly felt like this was with Bad Buddy. God, it's so good to fall in love with other people's love.

One of the most iconic fluff dramas of all time which actually has a plot

Usually I'm not a fluff person cz it kinda bores me when it doesn't have a plot and just fluff. Kinda like your sky or Ai long nai... i liked them but not like I LOVE THEM. I think that's where DWY is unique. It's not just fluff it has a plot and each character has their own personality and depth they're not simply cute or simply cold. They're someone you can actually relate too and sympathize with. I think we all have had our own Qin moments in life although meeting a Duang in real life is rare. I laughed with them cried with them and also rooted for them these couple of months. They just made my day..

I really really really recommend this drama to everyone. Don't miss out on this ❤️ bye bye DuangQin and hello TeeteePor

Not Just Good, But the Best.

I am always skeptical when it comes to Domundi shows — they have a penchant for creating fun, light, yet wholesome, stories such as Your Sky or blowing it out of the box with nonsense such as The Next Prince, then drop Khemjira the next month, which undoubtedly put their future dramas into scrutiny.

A 9/10 rating for such a drama might be an overblown score, but I will explain why.
(To be more accurate, it will be closer to 8.7 for me. It has its ups and downs and I personally loved everything upto EP9. The rest are as enjoyable, but didn't pack the same punch as the previous ones for me.)

Being a character driven plot, Duang With You, by all means, is the perfect recipe for disaster, particularly for seasoned watchers and those who are expecting complex plots and no-nonsense characters. The funny thing is that the show itself is well aware of it --- it was meant to be a fluffy, albeit a little healing, and yet a fun romance.
And it does not attempt to disguise itself as something it was not.


✓ It starts off with a manic energy and ridiculous sound effects which further prove this point. Not to mention the rather cliché premise—

A popular interior arts student, Duang, pursues his icy love interest, Qinn, creating circumstances that would attempt to make them closer. Qinn is rather amused by his shenanigans, but when he is forced to pair with Duang for a college performance, he begins to realize that there is more to the funny fellow than meets the eye. He inadvertently begins to fall for him, complicating his guarded emotions and confusing Duang, who relentlessly strives to prove his sincerity.

✓ Adapting a book that has no definite plot has its setbacks. That too, with absolutely no conflicts.
I personally loved the first couple of episodes, because there was some purposeful drive for the relationship. For example, the senior, particularly, Alice, setting Duang up for both their show and trying to make his dream come true is the impetus that drove Qin and Duang's relationship forward and provided the time required for Duang to be seen past his goofy nature for Qin.

✓ The writers stayed true to the novel, though. Because most of the scenes and dialogues are a jumble of various chapters of the whole book. Some of Qinn's final sentences in the novel are at the beginning of the book.
But, I do think that things got a tad bit repetitive in some aspects.
I know the writers did not mean for it to happen, but by the end of the EP12, I was terrified of Qinn's love for Duang.


✓ Caveat, it is almost 100% Fluff. And told almost entirely from Duang's point of view. This personally affected me because we didn't get to see much of what was going on in Qinn's side of the story when some pivotal moments arrived -- I felt that it could've been 'shown' as tidbits instead of being 'told'. Particularly, about his family.

✓ Most of the plot is buoyed by the cast, particularly TeeTee, who delivers an unforgettable and lovable portrayal of Duang. Por is not far behind, and manages to stay on par with him.


✓ The true highlight of the series is the namesake of the drama, Duang. By all circumstances, he should've been a character that infuriates viewers, had something gone wrong.
Then, why, oh, why is everyone under a Duang Mania?
I think this is where the showrunners win.

And the title ‘Duang With You’ is the most suitable because Duang “is” the star of the show, played by TeeTee.
He manages to bring the maniacal, yet simple, and deeply empathetic character to life, switching between his tones and moods with ease, leaving us rooting for him at every turn.

Instead of being downright annoying, Duang is a character who knows his limits, pushing his emotions aside with a smile. He is never overtly jealous and somewhere, deep down, he was painfully aware that his pursuit of Qinn might be fruitless in the end.
Having to create a character who is unique, silly, unapologetically embarrassing and still manages to tug at your heart is no easy feat.

It reminded me of Lu Shi Yi from 'A River Runs Through It'. By all means, he could've come off as an annoying bully, but his consistent presence in Xiao Ju's life for years along with his natural charm attracted viewers. That drama will forever be a bitter memory for me for this very reason. Sigh... Anyhow.

Duang’s crazy infatuation drives him to make several plans that are frankly not from a sane mind, as his friends Jamie and Pae tell him.
We laugh at his efforts (I mean, he literally puts up his own stickers all over the hallway to catch Qinn’s sight) but as someone on YouTube commented, Duang was 100% serious about them.

To be honest, there is very thin line between stalking and attempting to woo someone, as Jamie and Pae tell him. But, the main point was that he was 'harmless'. If Qin asked him to stop, he stopped. When he felt that Qin wanted to drive him away, he stayed away.

He was consistent in his efforts, however ridiculous they were.
But, the bitter truth is that nobody in the world would wait for you as Duang did for Qinn.
But, who doesn't need a respite from reality?

That doesn't mean that Duang was a soft fluffball. He might be silly, straightforward and wears his heart on his sleeves, but he was honest and sincere. He masks his sadness with smiles, pushes himself away when he feels that he is not welcome and last, but not the least— he knows how to read the room.
(I am sorry to say that I know plenty of guys who would offer help when needed, but they all suck at romance.)

Qinn, played by Por Suppakarn, is rather difficult to portray, particularly when opposite to a character such as Duang, who is a perfect antithesis to Qinn. But, the writers gave him his time, throwing in glimpses of his turmoil and most of Qinn’s emotions depend on actions rather than words, which further complicates their relationship.
He reminded me of a more subdued version of Xiao Yao (Lost You Forever) as both characters had been shaped by their past experiences.
He lets Duang’s pursuit be a test for himself as well as for Duang and we spent half of the drama along with Duang – on a straight rope with no clear idea about what their relationship was exactly. Or rather a situationship.

While Duang is unsure of whether they were just in their ‘talking’ stage, Qinn has already claimed him as his person, whether Qinn was ready to accept it or not. Qinn was far more unsubtle with his emotions, having explosions of jealousy and is overtly more possessive than Duang.

✓ Maybe this slow burn and clashing characters are the true charm? I don't know for sure.
Also, the drama contains certain events/characters that push their relationship forward, a necessary change from the original novel, which was more of a collection of accounts of their daily lives. Much of the time Qinn understands Duang is during their summer break when they are practicing for a college programme. (There is a two week time skip which indicates this.)

✓ Duang’s efforts are flanked by his bestfriends, Jamie and Pae, who cheers him and also helps him realize the truth, offering comfort and caution whenever he needed. They don't come and go as they please and are active participants of Duang’s life. Both of them were comedic and clear headed and their friendship with Duang was another highlight. So was Qinn’s Tong and Kim. Characters existed for the vitality of the story rather than just to move the plot forward.

--- Family relationships play an integral part in both characters' upbringing. Qin was an only child with a rather strange family, but Duang's was vibrant and a sheer delight. I was happy seeing Yim as Funan. It has been years since I last saw him and he'll always probably be that 'Sadhu' guy from Cutie Pie. Whether family or friendship, this show did manage to brush all the parts.


✓ Aesthetically, the drama is pleasing to watch. It is completely splashed in colours with a cheerful tone. I don't know a thing about cameras and production thingies, and I won’t speak on that.


✓ The soundtrack reflects the same sentiments as the drama. My favorite ones are:

• Not the Best, but Still Good.
• Someday, Say Yes.
• Don't Give Up.
• Freeze ( Not an original, but two characters, Peem and Sol performed it in EP6 and it stuck with me since then.)
• Heart’s Timing.
• 101% Love.

Qinn being a Jazz music student had his fair share of performances onstage.
So, were Peem and Sol, two vocal students (played by Punch and Nice - two idols) who actually are one of the reasons why Qin and Duang are together. I loved their performance in EP6.

The drama also has several BG sound effects that add to its silliness, but it was endearing and reminded me of youth dramas such as ‘A River Runs Through It’.

For example, there is a scene where a serious character is jealous, but the pip-pip-pipee! BGM made me laugh and it wasn’t until much later, when it was evident that he was more critical about the issue, did the tone change.
This also affected the arrival of Marvis, Jamie’s person of interest, because the BGM and his shocked expression made me feel amused instead of awed. I feel sorry cause this feeling continued till the end whenever those two turned up. But, I have to give it to them– they had the most shockingly straightforward scenes.


—That reminds me; there are scenes that are quite risqué, but the way it was choreographed and directed seemed more emotional rather than gratuitous – almost too intense at times and made me watch through my fingers.

Moreover, there were instrumentals of certain songs that played during them that stuck with me.

✓ There was a slow build up BGM in EP6 where the boys are worrying about their performance that struck a cord in me. It was simply captivating and made me rewatch the previous episodes as it revealed the shift in their relationship. Hope it gets released.

✓ Unfortunately, this drama also just highlights the fact that honest and sincere people are a rare thing to find in the present world. And it was also relatable to me as I had seen two similar incidents happen over my time in college.
Well, at least, I'm happy that Qinn found his man. And Duang found his man, too.
It's not everytime characters like Duang, Lu Shi Yi or Lu Xun exist and get appreciated. I'm glad that atleast two out of the three of them got their happy endings.

Sometimes simply watching two characters grow up, face their fears and fall in love with no pressure is what we need. And that's exactly what this drama was for me, particularly during my University Examination period when it was a gift for an hour of break to break the stress. It was also the first drama I began this year.

I’m rating this a 9/10, not because it is a masterpiece. But, it simply is lovely, heartwarming, wholesome and memorable amongst the deluge of dramas in its own league - not the best, but still good.

Uncut = Too long. Could have been so much better if edited out fillers

Who will enjoy “Duang With You”? This drama is probably not for everyone but a pretty selected audience. Here’s what I think. “Duang With You” is best enjoyed if:
1. Are a lover of fluffy and cute romance and don’t mind sound effects to add on the cheese.
2. A fan of love-at-first sight
3. A fan of persistent, almost stalkerish type behavior to pursue a love interest
4. Looking for a stress-free drama to not think about the craziness in the real world

Honestly, I don’t quite hit all these categories myself but I was in search in the #4 category and I knew what I was getting myself into. So, with expectations calibrated, I dive into Duang’s world.

Plot/Pacing:
As the title of my review suggests, this drama could have been so much better if it’s edited to be shorter and tighter. A drama that relies on the romance between Duang and Qin and nothing much, having 12 long episodes is just too much. Some of these episodes are 1 hour and 20 minutes long. We’re not watching a Thai lakorn with twists and turns, or birth secrets. There is just not enough to fill all those hours. I was under the impression that the uncut version means steamy scenes not being edited for public TV broadcast. But in this drama, I think uncut simply means the director includes everything and nothing is edited out, steamy scenes or not. There are actually some very meaningful conversations between the leads that are important to the character development. Yet, those don’t come often and are overshadowed by filler scenes of friends fighting for snacks, leads nose kissing each other, banter about doggy jealousy, or minor characters having too much screen time. I wish time was better spent, esp with Qin’s family drama and the secondary romance.

Acting:
Acting is a mixed bag here. I personally think TeeTee is the best of the bunch. He is Duang! Cute and charismatic and you just can’t not like him. Unfortunately, Por needs a little more practice. I distinctly remember a scene where Por/Qin sat next to young Qin and both of them were crying. The contrast in that crying scene was so evident that the young child actor did way better than Por. The rest of the cast did fine. None is exceptional and also none is a disaster.

Characters:
Duang is cute, no doubt about it. TeeTee is a better actor as Duang, than Por as Qin. TeeTee is already such an adorable actor that I don’t think the drama needed to add extra cheesiness and sound effects. They should let TeeTee shine on his own. Duang is the greenest flag and I am fine with him having Qin as the center of his universe, since he’s young and this is a rom-com. However, I am not a fan of his stalkerish and persistent behavior (not a fan of this in general). But that’s his charm in this drama and I’ll look past that as well. I wish Qin would just give us a little more instead of a nonchalant bitchy look. I think this might have to do with Por’s acting as he’s quite new to the industry. I am glad to see him slowly open up and really grow. Qin has the biggest character growth, and I do enjoy that part of him. I also really like Duang’s friends, Jamie and Pae. They are fun, chaotic and true friends of Duang. They stuck by him during his stalkerish pursuit (and explain when he could cross the line) and call him out when he’s out of line. Although they weren’t hopeful that Duang will win Qin’s heart, they accept his ‘unique stupidity’ and cheer him on. One of the best scenes of this friend group was when they were singing “Do Do Re Mi” when they sneaked into the Music Department. I actually laughed out loud at their silliness! Duang’s family is also hilarious. We can totally see where he got his personality.

Main Romance:
Even though I might not agree 100% on the persistent pursuit, I do think it takes a Duang to break down the walls that Qin put up. This is a classic case of opposites attracting and complementing each other. I would have loved to see more scenes of Qin being jealous and pouty, instead of bitchy and indifferent. This is actually quite a slow burn romance. It took them forever to get to the ‘talking stage’. I’m an old lady, and I have no idea what a ‘talking stage’ is. At first, I thought it’s like flirting and seeing each other, but not actually dating. Kinda like the some some relationship in K-dramas. But Qin and Duang did more than talking and flirting, and it got intimate and also calling each other partners (not lovers or boyfriends). I guess that’s how young people define relationships these days and I have a lot to learn! Although I love their real kiss scenes, I got beef with those supposed cheek kisses. The lips never touch the cheek. It’s a nose kiss! Many might love the intimate scenes, I am in the minority. I am glad that the drama doesn’t shy away from telling us Duang and Qin are not virgins and are horny young men. But the director doesn’t seem to be able to pick between sweet and sensual intimate scenes, or sexual and horny. In the end, the actors did their best, but the intimate scenes feel confusing and indecisive. But to end on a positive note, I really love the last scene at Freshy Night when Qin was on stage at Freshy Night. The lyrics of the song, paired with flashbacks, brought tears down my cheeks. That was a great ending to recap everything that happened in the last year.

Secondary Romance:
Jamie and Marvis could have been such an interesting and contrasting romance to Duang and Qin’s. They are sexier, flirtier and have such sizzling chemistry. Yet, not enough time is dedicated to their sexy beginning, and how they might be falling for each other. Their interaction lacks depth, even though they make such a good-looking couple. I wish they were given more time instead of all the fillers we get.

Production:
The drama does look pretty. With nice big apartments and houses, some interesting and unique clothing choices for Qin and Marvis. They also have money to go to Japan! I’m glad the characters are not always in their university white shirts, but also have some cool casual wear. Since it’s a Thai drama, there are product placements, too much lipstick (though thank goodness not bright pink). Lastly, I want to applaud the OST. This drama has really great and lovely songs, sung by the cast. I got the OST playing while I’m writing this review.


Do I recommend “Duang With You”? Only if you fit what I listed in those 4 categories above. This is a young romantic-comedy with a lot of cheesiness and fluffiness. It’s not for everyone. But if you can get past that, it’s a story of how two opposites attract and complement each other is the best possible way. I just wish the drama is a lot shorter, and edited in a way to tighten the storylines and give more screen time to others that are not the leads.

Proof that (university) romcom’s can still workk!

Every time I think I’ve had enough of the university romance series, Thailand proves me wrong. Since Khemjira, Domundi have really stepped up their game!

Coming into this series, I was fully expecting to be underwhelmed and was just using it to placate my boredom. However, only one episode in, I realised that this show was not that.

THE STORY:

Although the plot on paper sounds so uninspired, I love that Duang and Qinn’s personalities match their behaviour, which I believe is one of the most important aspects of series like these, with pretty simple, character-focused stories.
Plainly the plot is ‘guy sees a cute guy, flits with him, and they get together’. However, the way it’s presented on screen is so enjoyable and genuine. Dang is a passionate and genuine lover who is flirting with a guy he truly likes. I also love that we see Duang’s feeling develop from initial attraction to genuine love. Similarly, Qinn’s character was well written. He takes Duang’s pursuit of him seriously and considers important factors that may determine their compatibility. This makes all the different stages of the series so enjoyable as you see a clear plot and character development.

I also love the balance between cute funny scenes, and more serious and mature moments.

ACTING/CAST:

The casting of this series for the main couple was perfection. I don’t remember the last time I watched a similar relationship dynamic to the one in DWY, but all I know is that it’s now my favourite. The actors portrayed their character so well, that I have been enamoured by the series since I started it. i loved how they showed a significant level of emotional maturity whilst still maintaining the energy of young university students.


Rewatch value: I would rewatch this show 100x over due to its simplicity and sweetness.


Warning: TeeTeePor occupied my attention so much that I honestly paid no attention to the other couples and have not much idea what was going on there, so I won’t necessarily be addressing them.

Romance or restraining order?

Duang With You is a bit of a special case. Because what you're signing up for is a very non-enjoyable ride across ten (so far) episodes.

You never really know what the next episode will bring, but one thing is guaranteed: it will be absolutely filled (and I mean FILLED) with exaggerated sound effects, and Duang acting like a borderline obsessive stalker for a solid chunk of the show. Mostly tho, he behaves like an actual child. A grown man, acting like he’s five. And unfortunately, it doesn’t really improve as the series goes on, he remains just as frustrating throughout.

No shade to the actor, though. Honestly, all the actors are doing a great job, this is very much a writing issue, not a performance one.

The premise itself doesn’t really prepare you for the kind of “methods” Duang uses, so you go in more or less blind, and then it hits you like a truck. Him digging up information about a complete stranger just because he finds him cute might sound harmless at first but that’s really just the beginning. Soon enough, he and his friends (who, by the way, are far more interesting characters than he is) are literally following this guy everywhere. And sure, I’ve done similiar things when I had a crush, but I was 12. This is a COLLEGE student we're talking about. But hey, it’s fine, right? He means no harm, so it's cute :3

And even if you somehow get past that (which… good luck), there’s another issue: the drama. It’s there purely for the sake of being there. It adds no real value, and it’s hard to take any of it seriously because it all feels so hollow. Gotta admit, I had to skip them later on.

Qin, on the other hand, is actually a great character. He has a genuinely interesting backstory and, most importantly, doesn’t make me want to punch my screen every time he speaks. Meanwhile Duang, feels like the emptiest character in the entire show. Even some of the side characters have more depth than he does lmao. Which is honestly kind of wild and sad.

But the NC scenes? Absolutely delicious. If only the rest of the show matched that level of quality.

In conclusion, this show is probably one of the biggest messes I’ve seen in a while. It tries really hard to be quirky and funny, but instead just ends up being exhausting and, at times, genuinely irritating. The high rating set my expectations way too high only for them to get crushed almost immediately. Just another piece in the BL industry that unfortunately, brings very little to the table.

Did Somebody say GREEN FLAG!!

So everyone is obsessed with TeeteePor now right? It's not just me...

I’m so sad this series is over, idk what to say other than everyone needs to watch this. This was such a cute drama that portrayed one of the most healthiest relationships I've ever seen. Idk why I can't rate it a 9 right now but watch me come back in a couple days and change my rating lol.

Duang is a GREEN flag like green forest. I loved the way he respectfully pursued Qin, gave him space, took the time to understand him before they even started dating. Where can I find myself a Duang cause boy is in LOVE!! Not only is he head over heels he's also an amazing friend?? Like hello I loved his character so much and the fact that it felt like it was just Teetee playing himself I loved that even more.

I relate to Qin a lot, being closed off and not trusting. Building those walls etc. so it made me love it even more when he slowly started opening up to Duang and how Duang never forced him to be anything but himself. He took that time, put in the work and gained Qin's trust. To see Qin just absolutely smitten in the end too and happy and smiling made me want to cry, he deserves all the happiness and I’m so glad he found that in Duang.

This drama was filled with so many rewatchable moments for me, they're so cute and I really hope we get a special episode or second season lol. I honestly feel like a second season could be happening fr because no way we don't get to pursue Jamie and Marvis' characters more and who is Pae dating??? So many unanswered questions, so I’m hoping and praying for a second season cause I LOVED NorthOtto so gimme more!!
