A Parallel Universe Love Story Done Right
What can I say? I really love this pairing. I also love parallel-universe stories, and the bonus is they added mind-reading to this series. Me & Who follows the story of Popthorn—an orphan who works multiple jobs just to make ends meet. He gets into an accident and suddenly wakes up in another universe, the world of Suriya, a wealthy hotel owner. Meanwhile, Apo, a billionaire who looks exactly like him, also gets into an accident, and Popthorn ends up being reborn in his body.
Apo is in a relationship with Suriya, so Popthorn and Suriya have to pretend they’re still a couple—but eventually, they genuinely fall in love. I love that the relationship wasn’t rushed. They actually spent time getting to know each other, so the buildup feels real and earned. There’s one villain in the story, but it’s not exaggerated. Overall, the series still feels light and fluffy.
The plot twist in Episode 8 involving Apo’s half-brother was completely unpredictable. There are plenty of funny and sweet moments that keep you engaged. Popthorn is hilarious from the very beginning, especially when he’s practicing how to act like Apo. The chemistry between the leads is strong, and the NC scenes feel natural. The side couple also has great chemistry, and I really enjoyed their story too.
BigPark’s acting has improved a lot, and this series is definitely an upgrade from their 2024 show The Monster Next Door—I liked that one, but I love this. And of course, shoutout to François the butler—he’s absolutely hilarious and the role fits him perfectly.
The plot twist later on involving Apo’s car accident is predictable, but I honestly didn’t mind because the story kept me genuinely invested.
Overall, this series is super enjoyable and well-executed. There’s never a dull moment. The pacing is just right, and the visuals are beautiful. It's definitely a must-watch.
