Ok, you guys know me. Yes, a 10.
I'll say it. Me and Thee was the best BL of 2025. And you know I don't give 10s easily. Here are my pros and cons:
PROS
CAST. Coudn't have been better. Pond and Phuwin upped their game so much here. I've always liked them, but this was another realm from anything they've done previously. Pond was phenomenal and Phuwin may have been even better. Bonnie was wonderful and the supporting cast were all just fine.
REWATCH. I rarely rewatch any BLs, even the ones I like. I rewatched this one more times than I can count.
MUSIC. Perfect. Even the sound effects, which I usually hate, worked so well here.
STORY. I was ready to pounce on this. But I softened every episode and actually cried real tears many times. Kudos to the writers/producers. They totally sold me, I may even try Euro Cake. And, while I was totally not buying the whole Mafia thing from the start, they convinced me that it wasn't real, so I'm happy.
CONS
TAWAN/ARAN. Sorry but I was SOOOOOOO pissed that they made Tawan/Aran endgame for the sake of Perth/Santa shippers. I love both actors but -- come on! -- Tawan was about as toxic as it gets. That was my only beef with the series. Aran, run as far away as you can get. I want a divorce. But I will forgive the show, as they at least tried to give Tawan a redemption arc.
This show rates up there with my very favorite BLs of all time. A wonderful masterpiece.
10/10 for me.
