One of the only series that I genuinely loved from OffGun
Not Me is honestly one of the best Thai BL series I’ve seen, and I couldn’t wait to talk about it. This show does so much more than just tell a love story — it’s about identity, activism, and how love can be messy and complicated. And the acting? Absolutely AMAZING. If you love shows with emotional depth, real character growth, and a bit of social commentary, Not Me is definitely for you.
The Acting: SO Good
First of all, the acting in this show is next level. *Off Jumpol* (who plays Me) and *Gun Atthaphan* (who plays Black) are honestly perfect in their roles. The way they bring these characters to life makes the whole show feel so real, and you can feel every emotion they’re going through.
**Off Jumpol**, as Me, really nails the character’s confusion and vulnerability. Me starts out not fully understanding his privilege and the world around him, but as the series goes on, you can see him slowly begin to change. Off does such a great job of showing how hard it is for Me to reconcile his feelings for Black with the realities of their very different lives. Every time Me is caught between what he wants and what he knows he should do, you feel that inner struggle.
And then there’s **Gun Atthaphan** as Black. Black’s character is so passionate, especially when it comes to activism, but his love for Me complicates things. Gun plays that inner conflict so well — it’s like you can see Black trying to balance his dedication to the cause with his personal desires. His performance is so emotional, especially when Black has to make tough decisions that hurt him and Me. Gun really brings the character’s depth to the surface.
The Story: More Than Just a Love Story
What I love about *Not Me* is that it’s not just a typical BL about two guys falling in love. The show brings in really important themes like social justice, privilege, and finding your identity. It’s about Me and Black’s relationship, yes, but it’s also about how they navigate the world and the struggles that come with their different backgrounds.
The tension between them is so real. Me, at first, is kind of naive about how different his life is from Black’s, but as he gets more involved in Black’s activism, he starts to see the world in a new way. This brings so much complexity to their relationship, and it’s so refreshing to watch. It’s not just about their feelings for each other; it’s about how love and activism mix — and sometimes, how they clash.
Throughout the series, you really see Me grow as a person. He has to face the reality of his privilege and learn how to stand with Black in the fight for justice. Watching him evolve is such a rewarding experience, and you get to see how much their bond grows as they each come to terms with their roles in the world.
Final Thoughts
*Not Me* is a beautifully made series that combines deep, emotional storytelling with real-world issues. The acting is phenomenal, and the way the show deals with identity, privilege, and love is so well done. If you’re looking for a BL series that goes beyond just romance and brings in a lot of heart and meaning, *Not Me* is definitely one to watch. It’s a show that stays with you, makes you think, and leaves you feeling all kinds of emotions. Definitely worth checking out if you’re into something more meaningful and impactful.
