My Stand-In (Uncut) started off as an absolutely gripping series—I was hooked from the very beginning and couldn’t skip a single dialogue. The intriguing body-switching premise, strong performances, and emotionally intense scenes kept me invested. However, after episode 10, things began to unravel.
The central plot, particularly the body-switching arc, started to lose its logic. After “Old Joe” was burned, it became increasingly difficult to believe that people around him still recognized him by his old face—even though they were aware he was in a new body. This inconsistency broke the immersion. The series would have been much more coherent if they had used Winner Tanatat Kunaneksin to portray the old Joe and Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat as the new Joe throughout, especially since Poom remained till the end. This would have preserved the logic and emotional continuity.
Up Poompat Iam-samang, though a talented actor, felt miscast in the role of an aggressive, stubborn character. His soft features and gentle presence are more suited to romantic or emotionally nuanced roles. His portrayal felt slightly out of place, and that affected the believability of his character.
On the more sensual side of the series, the intimacy scenes left much to be desired. For a BL drama labelled “Uncut,” the sensuality felt restrained. They could have taken a cue from shows like KinnPorsche, where intimacy was portrayed with a better balance of passion and visual appeal.
That said, Poom Phuripan Sapsangsawat was a definite highlight. He is not only a strong actor but also incredibly charismatic on screen. His presence was captivating—a true feast for the eyes. Given his physique and screen presence, the series could have benefited from showcasing him more openly.
In conclusion, My Stand-In (Uncut) had the potential to be a standout in the BL genre. The concept was bold, and the performances were solid in parts. But the plot inconsistencies and missed opportunities in casting and sensual storytelling held it back from greatness. Still, it's worth watching for Poom's performance alone.
I was almost die in attempt to complete this series. Nothing new, same Thai BL plot, dragged too much almost zero storyline. Idea was good but execution was bad like hell.
The series had its moments, but overall, it was a mixed experience. At times, it felt enjoyable, but at others, the direction and writing fell flat. Some scenes seemed as if they were scripted or directed by a 10-year-old—amateurish and lacking depth. While the concept was promising, the execution left much to be desired.
One of the highlights for me was Thiu’s right-hand man, played by Tul. His character was well-crafted, and his acting stood out. Meen, who played Thiu, is undoubtedly good-looking, but I felt he wasn’t the best fit for such a serious gangster role. His portrayal lacked the intensity needed to make the character truly believable.
Boss and Guy often acted more like playful children than serious characters, which took away from the depth of the story. I don’t understand why shyness and cuteness are portrayed in such an exaggerated manner—it felt unnatural. Additionally, the pacing was inconsistent; some parts of the story felt rushed, while others dragged on with unnecessary background scenes.
The biggest drawback for me was the lack of chemistry between the main characters. Their supposed romance never felt genuine, making it hard to connect with their relationship. Maybe this series just wasn’t for me, but I can't help but feel that a strong idea was let down by weak execution.
why Earth lips re looking like botox filled? why they have to ask like childish to look cute and young? why cant they think of some new ways to show boys faces close other than car seat belts locking? why?
good series. I wonder how can China allow this series after their infamous ban on all BL content. have they relaxed it or lift it? This series has managed to show some lips touching also! Although they had to use lighting to hide the kisses partially! This is the first series of almost All the main leads. All the actors have done a very good job. They all are very handsome. It looks like a well crafted series except the ending. The finale of any series should be the highest point of the series but that was not in this one. I think there were some reasons behind this ending which we outsides will never know due to China strong censorship on news and media. I hope the makers of the series are safe.
nice show. I could not skip even a single dialogue! main actor playing Elyes was 99% perfect for role. sexy body in suits, nice smile, good acting. He could show anger and love by facial expressions within few seconds in a single shot. all other actors were good. I think the actor playing Pat was good, but not a good choice for the role opposite to Elyes. There are real kisses and many sex scenes in almost each episode. It was nice to see real love but sometimes there were monotony after few episodes. Sex scenes should also have imagination and creativity. Why afraid showing middle area that much? I have sympathy for Khimhan who was the oly charector left alone. He was such a nice guy. I would even accept all the three of them living together happily ever after.
this is prefect drama series but very imperfect BL Romance series. I liked acting, casting, direction, cinematography, music but the series could be more compact. There are too many scenes which can be edited out and more romantic scenes could be included. you have to wait for 10th episode to watch them confess first time. I wish there were more romance than fighting. Joker was always misunderstood and Jake never realized he is doing everything for him only. Funny moments makes the series likable. overall, if you have almost 15 hours to spend on a crime thriller action oriented series , you can watch this.

I don't understand the high rating of this series. There are far better BLs with much lower ratings, so what is so special in this series? maybe detail food preparations and beautiful images of food? I find the actor playing a cop was not the best casting for the role. There was one sided crush till the 8 episode where the mature cop has no clue that the student is loving him, but he playfully give him encouragements and comments like 'I like you, I wish we could live together" etc. In the last episode, the takes many days to answer if he loves him or not, even after a confession. (confession was one of the worst one in the history of BLs) After much calculation, he accepts the proposal followed by a lips touching scene (this is cannot or should not be called a kissing scene!) and the series ends after few seconds of showing their living together like before. There was no passion, no romance, no chemistry between the lovers. I Think it is just a time-pass series. i liked the actors and roles of friends though. Maybe this is a cultural difference issue as I am not finding it a love story. it is more like a Bromance series. I know I will be treated like an outcast for this post but I will welcome different opinions.
