Can you find me?

I didn't think I was going to like this, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I think TeeTee and Por did a really good job, and I would definitely recommend this show. I would give it an 8.75 (8.5) out of 10, and I am going to say what I liked, what I disliked, and then an episode overview (but no matter what, give this show a shot).

My likes: North. That was one of my first positive comments about this show. North is genuinely one of the sexiest men this world has ever seen. Everything about him is just so perfect, and he doesn't get enough love, I swear. This show is really fun. It's fun in this weird way I can't really explain, but I lowkey love it. I think Domundi has a track record of terrible romance building (ie, Your Sky and Khemjira). And I love Khemjira, but it's very plot-heavy, and the romance sucks, and your sky is just no plot, and the romance sucks, but this was different. Duang with yous only plot is the romance bit (the same with your sky but they fucked that up), and they did this great. The characters felt real, embracing, and well human which I really enjoyed. They took their relationship slowly, and Duang waited for Qin and Qin made sure his feelings for Duang were actually real. Duang had a cringey but realistic chasing scene. Because all the time in Thai dramas, they fall immediately, and this was not the case. QIN DID NOT LIKE HIM AT ALL. But with time, they started to work through their emotions in this fun and imperfect way. It was lowkey awesome, and that's why I liked this dumb show so much. Something clicked in episode 3, and it might have been Por in that skinnylicious shirt, but suddenly the show got really good lmao. They were cringe, but they were free lmao. This show is so fucking whimsical lmao. I liked the details of their apartments; it made them feel more real. They had so many cute moments I fucking lmao them. Qin is lowkey a young ho and I love him for that. ALL OF THE "NC SCENES," THE EYE CONTACT, THE SHOWERING, THE SHIRTLESSNESS, YES, 100 TIMES YES. I am not gonna sit here and pretend to be a woker, I rewatched those scenes so many fucking times, and I will never stop because I love scenes like that. They took their time with that, and they didnt feel random, BECAUSE WE KNOW HOW TO SET THE FUCKING MOOD HOLY SHIT. Lowkey so well done, I am so proud of them (besides the kissing we can't kiss, but that's fine, I guess). The lore with the parents was nice. I do think that the whole babysitter thing was BS, but like that happens a lot irl, and what Duang's parents did happens a lot too, so that was nice to see. TeeTee and Por's acting and chemistry in this really brought it to life, and I hope they have at least one more show together because they are both really good. The one song I liked was You're My Cup of Tea, they just need to teach him how to pronounce English words. Qin talking to his parents was lowkey good, but Pors acting was lowkey bad, but then I felt myself about to cry, so he ate or whatevera. The full circle moment at the end was nice, a nice way to end the show. And that's all I liked (I will be rewatching again for the 2nd time).

There isn't a lot of stuff I didn't like because I thought this show was good, but there is still some. The first couple of episodes were lowkey hot, confusing ass. It was very choppy, so I think that they could have written that part out better. Also, this show is beyond cringe, and it is mostly in a good way, but at the start, it was a lowkey in a bad way because Duang's crush felt very superficial, and we were just kind of dropped in here without a lot of backing, and then the first 3 episodes didn't help this whatsoever. The weird dancing plot at the start was so fucking bullshit and so random because why is a decorative arts major and a jazz major dancing together in a competition? That makes actually zero sense, and the reason they gave was bullshit. They were running circles around each other a bit because of the slow burn, but they get through it. The novel is so boring lmao, not anything on the show, the show is fucking great, but I couldn't get through the novel. THE DANCE SCENE, Fuck no, I was not messing with that. ("FREEZEEE HELLOOOO??? FREEZE DANCE BREAK. THEY ARE IN THE WALLS, THEY ARE IN THE WALLS. OH I'M NOT HUNGRY, OH I'M NOT HUNGRY. PREESES AT WHAT COST?"). It felt very random and rushed, and just like they were trying to come up with a BS filler plot. Okay, my thoughts on the second couple are lowkey negative, because of the English parts. They weren't cute, they werent fun, it was just so god damn cringe my lord. Also, if you have a second couple, they need more screen time. I am being because I have no reason to care about them. I love North. He did great in this. Otto's eyes are lowkey very far apart, and the makeup they did on him made it worse, but he's cool too, but holy, sexualized. Like it was fine in some moments, and then in others, it just felt like poor character writing. I just wish they paced them out better; that's my main thing. We had a problem with having so much happening at the start of episodes, and then they die down to absolute nothing, and I think they needed to find some kind of middle ground. The whole asking to be his boyfriend episode felt very rushed, and I wish they did that a little better, but the ending was good (I beat my shit or whatevera). RANDOM JAPAN TRIP, we could have alluded to that more, because that felt so random. ALL THAT DAMN SINGING, GIRL BYE. LIKE I KNOW WE ARE JAZZ MAJOR BUT SHUT UP. We wasted the final 20 minutes of the show, and I think that we could have written that out and done that better, because that was just annoying, the dancing to a band I don't know, when we could have like, held hands outside or kissed or something. I just needed more. Okay, that's it for what I didn't like

My episode thoughts, yay! "I want to mother every last one of North's babies, he's so fucking handsome." "This kind of reminds me of secret crush on you in a good way." "We love this but hate secret crush on you, right i see how it is. DUANG CANT HANDLE ALL OF THAT, I CAN BABY I SO CAN, HE LOOK SO SEXY IN THAT SKINNYLICIOUS SHIRT, I CAN HANDLE ALL OF THATTTTTT." "Duang kick this guy's ass. Duang bend it over and make it clap." "HE LOOKS LIKE 3 PPL STACK ON EACH OTHER IN LIKE A TRENCH COAT LMAOO." "I dont know if teetee stopped taking thirst trap photos and locked in, but we have carried por twice in 5 minutes lmao." " TeeTee's hair pushed back got me acting and feeling brand new. POR HAS A LADY KILLER SMILE BC I HAVE BEEN KILLED OH MY GOD. QIN HOLDING HIS ARM AS THEY WALK IN THE RAIN, I WILL NEVER BE OKAYYY. DUANG QIN SO CUTE WITH THEIR COLLEGE ROMANCE, I'M PRAYING ON THEIR DOWNFALL. I am no better than a man bc aint nobody looking at that dog, i was looking at pors legs. like a dirty perv. QIN STAND UP. STOP TRYING TO SEDUCE HIM TO LET THE DOG SLEEP WITH YALL. 4th wall break from thee. DONT MAKE EYE CONTACT WITH US. I am a slut for a good full circle moment. NIGGGGAAAAAA I WILL NEVER BE OKAY OH MY GOD. HELP NIGGA, WHAT? QINNNN A P I M PPPPP BUT DID 50 FUCKING SAYYYY? IM GONNA MISS THEM SO MUCH."

This show was good, I am just a nitpicky hater. I would recommend this 100 percent, and dont let anyone tell you this show is bad. It is so much fucking fun. Okay bye!

Soft Chaos in Love Form

Let me start off by saying I genuinely enjoyed Duang with You. Waiting for it to finish before binge watching was the right move because I know for a fact I would not have survived the weekly wait. This is the kind of drama that works best when consumed in one go, where the fluff, cringe, and emotional beats flow continuously without interruption.

At its core, Duang with You feels like a toned down, more PG13 version of Secret Crush on You, and that comparison never really left my mind while watching. Duang and Toh share the same DNA as characters, awkward, deeply in love, a little too much at times, but still endearing. And I say that as someone who really enjoyed Secret Crush on You. So naturally, I found myself comparing the two, and while Duang with You delivers in many aspects, it doesn’t quite reach the same level for me.

A big reason why I was excited for this project was Tee and Por. After seeing them in Your Sky, I already felt like they had potential. Por especially stands out immediately with his visuals. He has that kind of face that draws attention even if he’s not doing much. Tee, on the other hand, has a naturally light and warm presence that makes him easy to watch. So when they were announced as leads, it felt like a well deserved opportunity for both of them.

Starting with Tee as Duang, I’ll say this directly, Duang needed more cringe. And I mean that in the best way possible. The character thrives on being over the top, borderline uncomfortable, and that’s what makes him memorable. Tee did well, he made Duang cute, awkward, and lovable, but there were moments where it felt like he held back. Some of his movements came off a bit forced, which makes sense given the nature of the character, but it didn’t always translate naturally on screen. That said, he still managed to balance the comedy and sincerity of Duang. And interestingly, when he drops the high pitched tone and changes his styling a bit, you can actually see his potential for more mature or even dominant roles. That range is there, it just needs the right project.

Por as Qin is a different case. Let’s be honest, his visuals carried a huge part of his presence in this drama. He has that quiet, slightly intimidating aura that fits Qin’s character well. His performance in lighter and romantic scenes worked, and you could feel the chemistry between him and Tee. However, when it came to heavier emotional scenes, there’s still room for growth. The foundation is there, but the emotional delivery could be more layered. Still, for a major role, this is a solid showing and something he can definitely build on.

The storyline itself follows a very familiar formula. Someone falls for a person they think is out of their league, puts in the effort, gets closer, and eventually develops a deeper connection. It’s not new, and it doesn’t try to be. But that simplicity works in its favor. It knows exactly what kind of story it wants to tell and sticks to it. If you go in expecting something light, fluffy, and easy to digest, it delivers.

The intimate scenes are quite present throughout the series, and they were done well. They didn’t feel out of place and were used to develop the relationship between Duang and Qin. Personally though, I found myself enjoying their kissing scenes more than the heavier intimate moments. The kisses felt more genuine and emotionally driven, while the other scenes leaned more on physicality.

The supporting cast is another strong point. Duang and Qin’s friend group added a lot of charm and balance to the story. They made the world feel more alive and contributed to both the comedic and emotional aspects of the drama. I also appreciated that the story didn’t heavily rely on the usual “non-accepting family” trope. It’s refreshing to see a BL that doesn’t center conflict around that, especially when it’s already been overused.

Qin’s internal struggles, tied to his childhood and family, were introduced well and had real potential to add depth to the story. However, the way it was resolved felt a bit underwhelming. It’s one of those moments where you can see what they were trying to do, but the execution didn’t fully match the build up.

The introduction of Tiw was another interesting element. Initially, it seemed like this would create a more intense conflict for both Duang and Qin, but it was resolved rather quickly. While part of me wanted a more drawn out tension, I also didn’t mind the quicker resolution. It kept the story from becoming unnecessarily dramatic, even if it reduced the overall impact.

One thing I have to highlight is the pairing itself. Tee and Por have something that works. Their chemistry is believable, and there’s a natural dynamic between them that makes their scenes enjoyable. Their management should really invest in building this pairing further because they have potential, not just in dramas but even beyond that, especially considering they’re part of DEXX. Strong pairings are hard to come by, and this is one worth developing.

On the technical side, Thai BLs continue to improve, and this drama shows that progress. The cinematography is clean, polished, and visually pleasing. It’s getting closer to the level you’d expect from Korean productions. Combined with a solid OST, the overall viewing experience becomes even more enjoyable.

At the end of the day, Duang with You knows exactly what it wants to be. It’s not trying to be groundbreaking or emotionally heavy. It’s here to be fun, a little cringey, romantic, and easy to consume. And it succeeds at that. It just plays things a bit too safe when it had the chance to stand out more. I do hope Tee and Por get more opportunities in the future, especially in projects that challenge them more and allow them to grow as actors. The potential is clearly there.

Not the Best But Still Good... And Supposed To Be Cringe.

I just finished this series and I must say, as I was someone expected nothing, I got more that what I was looking for. which is nothing lmao. After I finished watching, I came here to read some of the reviews and oof it was hard. So it was tough to write this review and I am new to this so please bear with me and hear what I say.

Duang With You started very head-strong on to the viewers eyes with its very "vibrant" and "goofy" protagonist chasing his love-at-first-sight crush. And the crush who is "cold" and "distant" is not giving a fuck about his supposed chaser until things change at some point. I wanna say I don't want to give out much of the story but thats pretty much it. The script is very empty and poorly written. The main love story is just a classic college love chasing story and the side couple is even less interesting than that that I won't even bother to mention it.

It is a very cliche story, but I must say this time not in a bad way. I saw some poeple saying this series is so cringe and hard to watch. I totally get that but the whole point of this series is to be cringe and goofy. It is funny and one of the leads acts very cringe but thats how it's supposed to be for this series. Thats just it. Judging this series based solely on that is not okay for me. If you find this dosage of cringe uncomfortable, (and believe me if I did not and even my cringe bar is very low) you really are in the wrong series. Because that would mean you didn't get what's the whole point and therefore no need for you to waste your time any longer.

Duang is a very cringe and "dog-like" character that acts very cringy and irritating sometimes. But I don't know why, I felt his cringe level acceptable. The actor TeeTee did such a good job that the cringe level of his character never exceeds to the uncomfortable zone for me. His goofiness made me laugh once or twice. Qin is the "opposite" of Duang. He is "Cold" and "Distant" that I didn't surprised to see his character written like this since this show, again, has a very cliche story. Nevertheless, there are some things the Story/Acting did right about these characters. I used "dog-like" phrase while describing Duang which is not something we see usually see in a typical love stories like this. Normally we would see a "golden retriever boyfriend" archetype but this series wanted to change and perhaps go beyond that and made Duang act 'unnatural'. I find this bold move very enjoyable not gonna lie. And Qin is ,like I said, "Cold and Distant" which made him look like unapproachable and kinda selfish/narcicistic but in its core, he is just a boy who wants to take things slowly (he says this himself) and I saw some people find him "obnoxious" bc of he's quiet and him not being open towards Duang immediately considered he's treating Duang bad. When I read that I was like "????" But hey you do you babes. One thing to mention about Qin though is that the writers attempt to justify Qin's "emotionless behaviour" was a very bad decision. Choosing an abuse plot trope and not going on about this damages this series highly. I've had my share about being abused and one thing I know is that it shouldn't be treated lightly. They either should've talked about this more open and direct and show its consequences or they should've not mention it at all. The way it's handled in the series is just not acceptable for me and it was rather triggering to watch.

Qin and Duang together was fun to watch for me. Their relationship grew slow but very steadily that I am glad they did not rush it. Now I know a lot of people will disagree with me on this. But I believe this series ,and so many other BLs, are a slice of life stories that are happens in Utopian world. Yes it is unrealistic, yes this relationship is bullshit and cringe but we got so many realistic and serious films/series that talks about the hardships of life, difficulties being a queer and maintaining a relationship in those environments that we don't need to be reminded again. Life itself remind us that every second. So let this story be unrealistic and utopic and silly and mindblowing because in truth, there is no such thing like this. I know you guys will say this is escapisim and I say yeah it is and let it be one. We need more of these especially for people who are not be able to be themselves in their own society.

Music in this series was top-notch. I didn't know Por and TeeTee was a part of a t-group but after I watch them perform here, I felt like Domundi is trying to create another "NuNew" phenomenon. even some reactional sounds were cute which normally they use stock sounds. Production quality was also very good. all of the places, props, clothes were well chosen. Unfortunately tho Domundi being Domundi, all the ads that are forced on to us was very irritating to watch. Even I got uncomfortable about this which I normally just skip those scenes but this time there were too many.

I think that's all I wanna say about this series. Since I just finished watching this, my emotions is still raw and they might change in the feature when I will have more time to think about it. Let me know what you guys thought about it too I'd love to talk about it with all of you.

My happy place!

I really loved this series, every week i was looking foreward to the next episode. This series made me so happy, The bubbly, cute and funny Duang was the highlight of my week. Qinn slowly getting softer to Duang was the sweetest thing ever! The story was great en very good executed. I want to give big probs to the very young actor that played the Young Qinn, he was amazing!!! I really felt his pain, it broke my heart...
I also loved that they had the " what about sex" talk, that's so important and i've never seen that in a drama.
It had beautiful visuals and good music.

Teetee and Por are amazing actors and that at such a young age. Their dyamics and chemistry are so good! The NC scenes and kisses were amazing! Really surprising for actors so young to capture and express those feelings so good.

Even though i am not a fan of North, his pairing with Otto works, they have good chemistry.
And Wave also did a great job, there is something in his acting that i really like.

I will watch this drama many more times in the future whenever i need a happy bubbly drama. And yes, there are a few sad parts, but the happyness and sweetness makes it all good in the end.

This show was an absolute rollercoaster of emotions and I completely loved it! I went from having full-on laughing fits and giggling with a goofy smile on my face to crying a river. It’s a silly, chaotic, and intentionally over-the-top rom-com that perfectly balances its wild moments with more vulnerable ones that totally won me over.

The charm of the show is hands down Duang. How can anyone resist his impulsive, optimistic, naive, and vibrant energy? I love when he says he’s going to win Qin’s heart and that he’s not asking for permission, just letting him know. But while Duang is an open book and completely transparent about his feelings, Qin is the exact opposite. Seemingly cold and emotionally guarded, he slowly gives in to Duang’s chaotic, over-the-top, yet incredibly tender charm.

Qin was actually the character that surprised me the most. He’s complex, and the show gradually reveals the reasons behind his reserved nature and emotional distance. The nanny scene had me sobbing. Huge props to the young actor who played child Qin, because that was a really difficult, heavy scene.

TeeTee and Por have perfect chemistry, it feels so natural and they delivered all the emotional weight their characters demanded. Casting Yim as Duang’s older brother was a stroke of genius. Loved it! The entire cast gave solid performances, with North being a major standout. Plus, the OST is just as sweet and vibrant as the show itself. Duang with You has definitely made it onto my comfort show list.

⭐DUANG WITH YOU⭐ - The most beautiful masterpiece ever to exist!!

Duang with you is not just a normal drama, ITS THE DRAMA WHICH BRINGS YOU INTO THEIR WORLD!!🌟🌟 Duang is the most greenest flag💚.. I mean GREENEST UNIVERSE✅ that I have ever met❤️❤️.. Qin is the most diva-est person that I have ever seen since starting to watch Thai dramas/lakorns.❤️❤️ This drama isn't just something to me like I could ever forget.. It's the drama which healed me during my hard times. For those who didn't start watching this, you better should now or else you're missing a MASTERPIECE. It all started when I was watching Me And Thee (GMMTheeV) which made me laugh and have a good relaxing Saturday.. Until it ended, I was really lonely thinking I wouldn't have a joyful saturday anymore.. Then I just casually went to DMD channel since I've watched Khemjira Ton Ron and The Next Prince.. Guess what..! I saw Duang with you's trailer and I thought of watching it. OMG it was the most cutest trailer that I've ever seen so I had the thought of watching it. After the last episode (Ep-12), I started crying like I dumped someone I really loved meaning I cried for almost an hour.. Qin runnign to Duang was soo damn cute..😭😭 For those who have watched this, y'all can understand the pain we've been through ever since it has ended. Coming back to the drama, everything they potrayed in this, the actors, OST's, production and the script writing was perfection!!* I first thought that I should drop this since Duang was soo childish (in my pov), but then I thought it will be good so I kept watching and I'm sooo glad I did. Qin's trauma shown in this was really good, I even felt his pain on behalf. Duang being there for him at the very beginning shows that true love can take a while to come but after you get it, never ever lose it!! The NC scenes shown was really loving and affectionate that you can see it by their look of eyes. Only thing I'm sad about is Jamie and Marvis relationship. I know they started getting close but they should have a confirmation about them.. Oh yah about Jamie :: Jamie - Duang - Pae.. I really loved their friendship.. It's just soo nice to see them laugh and joke about all the time. But most of all how supportive they are.. Qin's band, Tong and Kim applies for the same. They have been supporting Duang to get him his diva. I ain't gonna type more since my hands hurt but I'll tell you all my favorite episode)

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

My favorite episode was the 6th episode since it showed their performance 'Not The Best But Still Good' (that is my favorite scene of the whole drama) and showcasing a little bit of Qin's trauma but then Duang continuing the performance was soo damn good. Him supporting his crush is soo sweet.. And their 1st kiss... Uff,, It killed me hard that I had to fall on my knees.. Anyways I'm so so so happy that I watched DWY otherwise I would be pouty like Duang.. Thank you so much, Duang with you for making my Saturdays enjoyable.. And a huge thanks to P'TEETEE, P'POR, P'NORTH, P'OTTO, P'WAVE P'THEE, P'HUGH for this drama a beautiful journey.. Once again, this is NOT JUST THE BEST,, BUT THE BEST-EST thing ever to watching. (I miss them sooo damn much😭😭, but I'm gonna go rewatch it byeee.) :) #duangqin #jamiemarvis #tongpae #kim #teeteepor #northotto #theewave #hugh (hehe lol)❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟

Overhyped...But The Chemistry of the ML kept me going

The series owes much of its success to the music, sharp editing, and incredible cast chemistry, particularly between the leads, TeeTee and Por. If it weren't for the perfect casting of Duang, the entire show could have fallen apart. While some might find his childlike voice and behavior a bit over the top at first, it definitely grows on you. The leads are incredibly cute together, and it’s easy to see why fans are obsessed with their onscreen dynamic.

The plot itself is straightforward: a happy-go-lucky guy falls head over heels for a popular, highly unapproachable introvert and decides to pursue him. Once they officially become boyfriends, they navigate and overcome various obstacles together. While this trope isn't usually my cup of tea, it kept me hooked until about episode 8, where I started losing interest. Unfortunately, like many Thai BLs, once the main couple got together, the writers seemed to run out of ideas, and the remaining episodes felt mostly like filler.

Does this series really deserve a 9 like The Untamed? In my opinion, it's a firm no. I honestly think it lacks depth.

Il mio nuovo episodio di CM preferito

Esattamente quello che dice il titolo. Non è carino seguire la gente. Non è divertente quando questa ti chiede di smetterla e tu continui. E no, non è cute solo perché poi si metteno assieme. Volevo vederlo perché mi sembrava un take nuovo e fresco su un tema (gli universitari) un po' trito e ritrito, ma per me è stato un grandissimo no. E il vero problema è che non ho problemi a vedere serie con questo tipo di comportamento, se però o viene adressed (tipo in MAT dove Peach lo dice a Thee) o in serie dove tutti sono red/black flag e quindi diciamo che i comportamenti illegali sono parte del WB. NON quando me lo devono far passare come comportamento cute. Nel mio mondo di visione dei BL il finale di questa serie è un po' come se in in 2gether TIne si fosse messo con Green invece che con Wat (non che Tine non ci abbia messo il suo seguendo Wat, infatti è tutta un'escalation, ma il confronto di base viene mantenuto. Grandissimo NO.

A review from someone who ACTUALLY watched the whole thing

I don't really review lots of shows, especially not on this website. Duang with You is the sole reason for me making an account here in the first place and seeing reviews calling it 'shallow' is like a stab to the heart.

First, I would like to acknowledge that yes, Duang can be cringe. And yes, sometimes I pause the EP to take a breath then rewind. But that doesn't mean he lacks common sense or is just there as an accessory for Qin. I have seen some people say that Duang is autistic and while I have no definite proof of that it is pretty dang obvious to me. So his mannerisms are understandable and endearing. That is how he is in the novel too so don't come for the actors.

Secondly, I saw a review saying Qin's trauma is 'rich kid trauma ' and that makes me so mad. So just cause he was born rich that means he isn't allowed to he hurt? That boy was abused! He had no one, not even his parents so of course he would be closed off and cold sometimes. If you actually watched the whole show and get to know him better you'll see just how much it affected him since EP1. Just how much Duang helped him till his confrontation with his parents. The way P'Kla directed the scene is so good it brings me to tears no matter how many times I watch it. It was realistic and that's what most of you can't seem to understand. Just cause you didn't experience a trauma doesn't give you the right to belittle it because there ARE people who have experienced the exact same thing.

Thirdly, I think ep12 was a well crafted ending. Marvis meeting the gang was definitely needed, what, with Jamie finally opening up about liking someone I think it was a good choice. Pae revealing himself as Cherry was also really funny and I don't know why you all found it surprising. Were you expecting them to take that secret to the grave? TongPae was never going to work since Theewave isn't an official pairing yet so the hate I'm seeing has got to be studied. Even though it was sad to see them go back to the novel, the ending was still satisfying.

Fourthly! I saw the same review asking why Duang fell in love with Qin and I sighed. It was established as love at first sight, both in the novel and in the series. People DO fall for others at first sight in real life so him falling for Qin is not far fetched. Also, I don't think Qin manipulated Duang in any way in any part of the series. The scene where he gave Duang 15 minutes was very him. He needed to know if Duang would stay, and after seeing his past experiences his fear was valid. Him asking Duang to return the camera was also very him. He knew if he let it slide once, it'll become a habit. I wouldn't want my partner to buy me a gift and then turn around and not have any money to eat. Qin is strict in his love for Duang and that is why they compliment each other so well.

Fifthly!!! (Idk if that's a real word) I haven't seen any reviews about NorthOtto's English YET but I will talk about it cause there was hate on social media about it. Yes, their English ate. No, it wasn't cringe. Unless you can fluently speak Thai with no accents then stfu and leave them alone. They tried their best and they devoured.

The themes addressed in the whole series are deep and carefully resolved. I love Duang with you, and if you're looking for something fluffy, heavy, funny and an emotional rollercoaster it is definitely for you. Don't listen to all these reviews from people who hardly watched half of it.

And yes, I can defend them in the comments. Unless you're a lost cause then I won't waste my time. And I can also yap about them too 🤗

It's like watching a BL for Tofus, Bland and Pale.

I am not getting they hype of this show. I tried to endure and hoped that there must be something new that this BL can offer, but I just got disappointed. I think we have reached to a point where there are too much BLs getting aired. There must be something in this show that hits the spot of the new generation of BL fans, but coming from someone who has been a fan since 2006, I have seen similar plots and twists for a BL. Nothing is refreshing. The comedic timing is awful and forced. Chemistry is lacking too. Main characters lack personality because there's not enough back to story. It was just a free flowing BL, light to watch, but not worth to rewatch.

Music is good though.

not mature enough for me.

I'm sorry to Bls mature enough this BL is what you call puppy love. I like BL'S that are more mature like Kinn Porsche peach lover pitbabe BL's like them. this is 2026 we need more bls like the one that I just mentioned. not ones that are going to cut certain scenes because how intimate they are if you're going to cut scenes why show any kind of intimacy in it it shouldn't have kissing or hugging in it if that's the case One of my least favorite Bl so far. this BL gets a negative one for me. I might not even finish this series

Not bad, but, not that good either.

I know not to trust the high ratings on MDL and yet I fall for it every single time. I guess I thought that because this is a new pairing the reviews wouldn't be biased and I am not judging people's preferences here I'm really not, but a 9.1 rating for this is a bit much.

There is nothing new or exciting to this plot, just an average University BL that follows pretty much the standard script. Both mains are extremely unlikeable, Duang is annoying and Quin is rude, obnoxious, cold, jealous and insecure for absolutely no reason, the side characters are not so bad but they are barely in the story,they're just there for the sake of being there mostly. I did laugh a lot at the first couple of episodes, despite Duang's childishness, the actor is so cute that I was willing to put up with it, but it's way too much the episodes are long and nothing interesting happens, nothing. I wanted to finish it mostly to see if there is a logical explanation for why Quin is so awful, but I don't care anymore, my guess is neglectful parents and maybe physical abuse 🤷‍♀️ which really sucks but still...

I am dropping this, it's just not for me.
