Fluffy comedy
In short: a hyperactive and borderline insane Labrador puppy falls in love with an emotionally damaged, low-energy cat who can’t decide whether the Puppy’s antics are annoying or endearing. But he also can’t quite tell him to get lost.They could have screwed this up so easily, because some of what the Puppy gets up to borders on harassment, but the Cat is clearly the one in control of the relationship and he constantly gives hints that he is somewhat into the madness being inflicted on him. Major props to the actors - I just watched them in Your Sky and thought, here is a pair who deserves their own series so they can show off their acting chops. And here is Duang With You to fulfil all our wishes and then some.
Largely very fluffy but the spicy bits are indeed spicy, and the chemistry is nuts. Super funny, somewhat slapstick in the visual comedy, also has emotional depth. All I can criticize is that I think the secondary couple needed more screen time. Otherwise this is on the rewatch list, highly recommended.

Cute comedy
I keep coming back to this series to watch th cute moments over and over again, so consider that a big recommendation if nothing else.So here’s the deal: we have four hot medical students that I have taken to calling the Avengers, as follows:
- Asian Elvis, he of the Very Good Hair
- the Aura Master, able to stun anyone with the sheer force of his presence and money
- Doctor Dangerous, seemingly nice but will 100% wreck your shit if you cross him
- the Tattooed Henchman, a classic bad boy.
And on the other side of this equation are the Super Friends, a group of new students who are best buds and also each other’s wingmen, and who also get into hijinks and, indeed, shenanigans on a regular basis due to their various love interests. And they are:
- the Drama Llama, a grown man seemingly inhabited by the soul of a hyperactive teenage girl
- Mr. Game’n’Slack, a certifiable idiot who does vidya games and little else
- the Short King, who has waaaaay too many issues and not enough access to therapy
- the Quiet Artist, who we don’t see much of in this season but hoooo boy does he ever have Stuff Going On.
Listen: we all know they’re gonna get together, we’re here for the journey and not the destination. But I found the journey to be HELLA worth it in every case. First up, we have Asian Elvis finding out that the Drama Llama, his sort-of-ex who he is still HUGELY into, also goes to this university and from then on we are treated to some high quality yearning and some verrrrry nice chemistry.
Second up is the Aura Master bumping into Mr. Game’n’Slack, who he has a longtime unrequited crush on, and his total inability to pursue a normal relationship with the guy. Somehow they’re into each other (although I’m not sure why, chemistry is a bit lacking IMO) but I’m here for the comedy alone. Their relationship is largely defined by the Aura Master admitting to himself that he did indeed fall in love with a complete idiot, but that is no reason not to be the bestest boyfriend ever and spoil him and love on him etc etc.
The other two relationships are in the later seasons, Beside the Sky, and The Sun From Another Star. Can’t decide which I like more. It’s cute stupid romantic comedy and all the relationships, whether it’s friendships or romance, are 100% worth a watch. This is probably staying on my rewatch list forever (fourever lol).

No payoff. Seriously.
I understand everyone giving this 10/10 and all that but I have one major beef with this series, and it is a big one that I cannot get past.The ENTIRE PREMISE of this revolves around sex. It’s in the TITLE, for gods sake. And much as there are plenty of cutesy moments between the two male leads, we get virtually no payoff. Not even a Big Damn Kiss at the end. There are 12 episodes of this thing, are you not allowed to show even a whisper of them being intimate?? At least the Thai remake, for all its faults, had the usual “let’s get our tops off and do the horizontal mambo” scene; I felt it could have been better but it was something.
So take this for what it’s worth: I personally finished this series and immediately felt that I had wasted my time with it. It was a huge letdown and I bounced off it hard. Definitely not on the rewatch list. Read the other reviews and decide if it’s your thing or not. If you, like me, expect something resembling sex in a series that is literally based on whether a guy has had sex, then you are gonna be disappointed.
