Duang with You

Slow start, but totally worth it in the end!

Storyline:
At the beginning, Duang With You was super slow, to the point I got sleepy and almost dropped the series. But since I pushed myself to continue, I started to feel like the plot actually became interesting starting from episode 5 and kept getting better after that. It’s honestly such a waste for people who dropped it within the first 3 episodes, because that’s when the story hasn’t even properly built up yet!

Chemistry:
The chemistry between Duang and Qin is actually really good. At first, I didn’t have any expectations for this couple, but all the NC scenes in this series were so well done and felt very natural , it literally left me speechless. One thing I didn’t really like though is how Qin’s character was portrayed as too stiff and “cold,” so we don’t really get to see his sweet or romantic side.

Acting:
Honestly, I really love and super amazed by Duang’s actor (Teetee). He can switch between being cute, annoying, and serious throughout the series — it’s impressive! As for Qin, his acting is okay, but there are some parts where he feels a bit “forced,” especially during emotional scenes. But I'm sure it will be improve in future project.

Things I liked about this series:

1. Supportive parents
2. Supportive friends
3. High-quality production

Things I didn’t like / could be improved:

1. Duang’s character can be a bit too over-the-top and childish in certain scenes, especially in the early episodes. Sometimes it made me wonder, “Is this a romance about kids or university students?”
2. Sorry to say this, but I’m not really into the second couple, JamieMarvis. Not sure if it’s because of the cringe dialogue or something else, but their chemistry just doesn’t hit for me.

Lastly, is Duang With You worth rewatching?
For me, the answer is yes 👍

My hope is we will see more of Porteeteepor project in future!

My final ratings: 8.0/10.

For me it was average drama. It was watchable...
What work for me
The friendship shown in the drama was pretty good. The character Qin was what i like he wasn't typical "no communication" person that i thought he would be. He actually initiate to communicate/ discuss the problem with duang... he solve the issue in its bud no big misunderstanding between patners. The second couple has so much potential which left untouched i wanted to see more of their scenes but...
What didn't work for me
The duang character don't get me wrong but the "golder retriever" boyfriend was pretty cringe for me personally. From the beginning when he acts cute an all i was getting goosebumps... another point was the sound effect which was unnecessary it ruins the scenes for me. The duang actor acting was good when he acts serious/ mature but when acting cute it was not working. As for Qin trauma there was not enough time/ scenes that could actually be felt by audience as i expected...it was just a small part when the trauma has hunted qin for life which was not enough...i couldn't connect to the character than i expected.
If you're first time bl watcher this can be a starting drama also if you like fluff without much drama you can go for it. For now I'm dropping the drama at 10 if i feel like it maybe i will complete it in future.
Also important if you are watching it in YouTube you will get cut version please watch uncut version as in cut version there was many important scenes that were missing which connects the whole drama plot.

Review: Duang With You — A Masterpiece of Love, Healing, and Quiet Strength

There are shows you watch, and then there are shows you live through.
Duang With You is the latter.

From the very first episode to its final moments, this series proves that great storytelling isn’t about rushing to a climax—it’s about taking the time to let emotions breathe, characters grow, and love unfold naturally.

What makes Duang With You truly exceptional is its ability to balance tones so effortlessly. It’s a rom-com, yes—but beneath the humor and lighthearted chaos lies something much deeper. The series carries melodrama, trauma, healing, and emotional vulnerability with such care that nothing ever feels exaggerated or forced. Every laugh is earned, and every tear feels real.

At the heart of the story are Duang and Qin—two characters written with incredible depth and brought to life through phenomenal acting and direction.

Duang is, without exaggeration, one of the most memorable characters in bl history. He is funny, expressive, chaotic, and sometimes adorably annoying—but beneath all that is a person with unwavering emotional strength. His love is not loud in a demanding way, but steady and patient. He doesn’t love to receive—he loves to give. And more importantly, he loves without conditions.

Qin, on the other hand, carries a quiet, heavy pain. His past—marked by emotional neglect and abuse—shapes the way he sees the world and relationships. The series does not rush his healing, nor does it simplify his trauma. Instead, it allows us to witness his journey slowly: the hesitation, the walls, the fear of vulnerability. And that is what makes his connection with Duang so powerful.

Because Duang With You is not just a love story—it is a story about learning how to be loved.

Watching Qin gradually accept the care and warmth that Duang offers is one of the most rewarding emotional arcs in the series. The love that Duang gives, freely and without expectation, becomes something transformative—not just romantic, but deeply human.

Beyond the main couple, the series shines in its portrayal of friendships and side characters. Each individual feels purposeful, with their own personalities, struggles, and emotional journeys. The bonds between them add richness to the narrative, making the world feel real and lived-in.

Visually, the series is just as compelling. The direction is thoughtful, often choosing quiet moments over dramatic excess. The use of lighting, framing, and pacing enhances the emotional weight of scenes, allowing viewers to truly sit with the characters’ feelings.

But perhaps what makes Duang With You unforgettable is the way it stays with you.
It becomes part of your routine, something you look forward to, something that brings comfort. And when it ends, it leaves behind a quiet emptiness—like saying goodbye to people who felt real.

In the end, Duang With You is a reminder that love doesn’t always arrive perfectly. Sometimes, it comes gently, persistently, and patiently—like Duang himself—waiting for the right moment to be accepted.

And when it is, it changes everything.

CAN I HAVE 30 MORE EPISODES?

I've been patiently waiting a year for their series; I was there the first day and now I gotta accept we'll not gonna see more eps. So, to say I'm sad it's just the least.

This show has become really special to me, maybe the fact that I'm a pttp fan helped with that but I really think It was an amazing series and not just Teeteepor, the rest of the cast deserves all that hype just the same!

Of course I still have my doubts about some things...like Qin's parents' storyline; I probably didn't expect it to be resolved so easily. Or Wave's limited screen time. So, did he or didn't he have a partner? I got excited about the Cherry/Tong situation and that was it? I definitely expected to know a little more about his character but that didn't happened.

But I'm definitely going to miss these months. If you follow the cast and pttp(you should)on socmed you know how fun and special these months have been and now I'm simply too attached to let duangqin go(I think i'll keep rewatching dwy until my final days)

To my dear por and teetee: THANK YOU. I don't think anyone could play duang and qin like you did. I'm so proud of you and I'm already happily awaiting your next project. I LOVE PTTP AND DUANG WITH YOU SO MUCH!!!

DUANG WITH YOU IS GOATEDDD ???

Duang with You is the best bl of 2026 so far for these two reasons, writing of characters, and plot. (Before I start I want to say I haven't read the novel beforehand of watching the show!! )

Writing of Charaters :
Each character in this show is well-written and fleshed out in their own ways. First is the title main character Duang, he is characterized as loving, caring, and genuine. Since the very beginning we can see that he adores Qin with his whole heart. Duang throughout the entire show cares for Qin deeply like no one else in his life. He always supportes Qin and they communicate their thoughts and feelings with each other.From the very start the storytelling showed that Duang was persistent on winning Qin's heart, but not wanting to step over boundaries, this is the standard to see because it feels realistic to how Duang yearns for Qin, but keeps in mind not want to make him feel uncomfortable Thier relationship is full of trust and they always look out for one another.

On the other hand our other main character Qin is very dear to my heart. Qin is perceived as cold, distance, and emotional unviable, but that changes when he meets Duang and opens his heart to him. As we learn more about Qin throughout the show we see the reasons for the way he is, to his first approach to letting someone in ending poorly, to his depressing childhood and emotional negligent parents, plus horrible abusive nanny. All these factors in who Qin is characterized to be, and how is love for Duang is so profound to anyone else in his life. Duang always gives his 100% with Qin, which moves Qin to want to give his all with Duang. Thier health and functional relationship is absolutely amazing to see, because in some other bls (key word SOME) toxic relationship are glorified and romanticized, which can be harmful to the way impressionable audiences view love.(Doesn't apply to everyone but can happen in some cases. )

Moving on to a underappreciated topic, the friendships. I adore the main trios, both Duang and Qin's relationship with their friends is authentic and heartwarming to watch. Duang, Jamie, and Pae are one of the best things to come out of this show. Their sooo hilarious and bring a light hearted silly vibe when their on screen. I appreciate the great chemistry Teetee, North, and Wave had, where I felt that they were friends playing as best friends. They care for each other truly in their hearts, which I hold very dearly to me, as I love my friends as well!! Next Qin, Tong and Kim are noticeably more of a chill trio than the others. They show that they care for each other in a subtle way, they are more clam and show that they are looking out for each other. Both friendships in this drama are charming, and a majority of veiwers can reality to either groups unique appeal.

Writing of the plot:
They way the story unfolds is meaningful to see. The world that's built around the character's is beautiful to watch unfold The development form beginning, middle, to end felt that the plot had a clear understanding how it grew with the characters and audience. The tone of the show can be seen by some to be cringey as well as corny, but I feel there're numerous mature themes and moments portrayed throughout the story along with the more goofy aspects. More love has to go to this amazing team, love the director and his work (yes biased!!), and all the actors didn't not fail to bring this show its charm and whimsy. Especially my favs TeeteePor acted outstandingly and showed that they can carry complex characters with a well written plot, hope they get a million more bls together as they grow as actors.

Conclusion:
On a very personal level Duang with You has brought light into my life every since I watched the first ep, it filled me with this joyful feeling that only a few shows make me feel. I've loved this show even before that with the pilot and trailer made me anticipate this drama alot. Safe to say it didn't disappoint, and I would HIGHLY recommend this fantastic show!!!<3

Sweet and cute done absolutely right!

This show is a unicorn. It sparkles, it's unbelievably cute and absolutely one of a kind. This level of cuteness is usually 100% cringe to me. But the delivery from Teetee and Por is perfectly balanced. They complete each other. So although the story itself is not very substantial, there is a message here: You need a supportive and safe partner who, even if they don't understand you, will try anyway.
Another take away is that communication can be very attractive indeed. The way Qi and Duang try to understand and know eachother is amazing.

And who expected that these cuties would be able to switch to hot and bothered is a millisecond ?

It was agony waiting for a new episode every week. And every episode made me so happy.

Absolutely a masterpiece in the college genre, and I'm putting it high in my re-watch list.

Holy snoozefest

I saw edits of this and wanted to watch it. Episode one was nice, characters funny. Then it went downhill from there. The whole plot is Duang chasing after his crush, then a ton of useless dialogue which doesn't even move the plot forward. You could definitely tell that they didn't have a huge budget, often showing them in the same three places. If you don't like fluff just skip this. Another typical college romance where they sing and try too hard to make the mc seem like a "puppy" by the way he constantly whines and grabs onto the ml. I recommend skipping over the first 5 episodes all together. I had it on 2x speed and I STILL skipped over. Boring and unoriginal. The actors did a terrific job tho so I hope they'd act in a more interesting bl!

not into the characterization

Overall: I did not enjoy a child-like character who basically stalked a seemingly uninterested character for several episodes. 12 episodes about 45 minutes each. Airing on iQIYI https://www.iq.com/play/duang-with-you-uncut-episode-1-1i3zcr5hiek?lang=en_us and episode 1 was on Mandee YouTube Channel https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLcTibKbv20S7j_lCcNUEywFWET_lybdJZ&si=kC4Ac1i6KZTkdSmx

Content Warning: stalking (portrayed as romantic), hits (portrayed as comedic)

What I Liked
- easy to understand premise
- supportive friends
- visuals
- cameos/supporting roles

Room For Improvement
- the child-like character (one time he said "I'm sulky now" while pouting and stomping his foot) who relentlessly pursued a seemingly uninterested character (at least 1 time he told him to shut up)
- comedy sound effects did not make things funny
