Not the best, BUT REALLY GOOOODDD!!!
I love the title in Thai (Not the best, but still good) bcs it's so... funny. And for me, it quite defines this series.It's mundane. If you're searching for a love story that will change your perceptions of life, this is not for you. But it's incredibly well made in its casuality. I know that for some people it feels like i'm criticizing, but it's quite the opposite. I'm praising it. Duang with You focuses much more on the day by day, the texture of loving someone, falling in love. The characters are funny but they're just... they are just like real people. It could be someone from your own uni. They're not extraordinary.
And for me, that's the beauty of Duang with You, bcs along with all of that, they show true intimacy. Not with crazy NC scenes (that are very typical of Domundi — I was a little bit worried) but with their daily life, kisses, hugs. And ofc that includes sex. What I don't like in many NC scenes in BLs is that they put some crazy things and positions and are scandalous (fine for me tbh, that's not the problem, let the queer be scandalous) but the couple don't seem truly engaged. Not only in the feelings talk (when the NC happens when both of them are already in love, for me it's a requirement), but also in attraction. If they're fucking, it should have some feelings, not exclusively romantic, bcs in many shows they aren't in love yet, but the attraction, want, desire.
And DWY has both. They look incredibly in love, incredibly attracted to each other. Not only in sex scenes but also in their daily life. It's so obvious how much they love each other, how much they desire each other.
Teetee and Por are both incredible actors and, for their first series as the mains, it was incredible! Makes me sad that we will have to wait at least another 2 years to see them again in a series.
For the secondary couple, I liked NorthOtto! But for me, it was a little bit... their history is too much cropped, and it makes sense since they have their own novel and maybe DMD will pull the second series in the same universe card, but honestly, I didn't like Marvis' character... IDK. It wasn't something that impacted my liking of the series bcs I didn't have the urge to skip their scenes (as happened before to me with other couples), but it wasn't the best either.
The series is also fun in selling itself: Not the best, but still good. It's a 10/10 for me in the sense of fulfilling all of its premise perfectly.
Also the filming was really good! The scenes were so pretty, a little too much white sometimes but that's okay. It was really a good work!

It's a really good story, with good production, and good actors. Almost a 10.
This series is a masterpiece, as a person who watched other OffGun works, I was really curious since one of my friends love this series. And God, he was so right.OffGun as SeanWhite was amazing, the intimacy, I feel like I was in the middle of something that I shouldn't. Their acting was SO GOOD, and everyone knows that Gun is incredible, but it was the first time that Off really make me shocked by his acting skills.
Gun was absolutely perfect for the twins, the way that he acts for each twin it's so detailed. And especially for Black, bcs White still has some sweetness which is totally Gun, but Black... He was Black.
The only reason that I gave 9.5/10 and not just a 10, was bcs Dan and Yok. I fucking hate their arc, and I fucking hate Dan. Yok forgave him, but NOT ME. I hate cops so much and men too all they do is lie. And I didn't like the acting of Fluke (Dan), he did a "good job", but I found so superficial, but First (Yok) amazing acting totally saved the day.
In resume: This so much more than a simple romance series, though they don't "represent" me, bcs I don't see myself directly in the characters, I deeply connected with them, with their feelings. It was really impressive.
It's a really good story, with good production, and good actors. Almost a 10.

CUTE AND HEALTHY!
Beautiful storyline. While I thought the first part, Star In My Mind was boring, I found Sky In Your Heart beautiful. Their relationship development is beautiful and mature, they don't have stupid problems that the screenwriters create without fundament to fill blank spaces.It's cute, funny, adorable. And they have good chemistry, also, I think I'm in love with Mark (Prince). Happy that he's gonna be in Cherry Magic.
It's really really really adorable and enjoyable!!! Idk why it's such a flop :')

The agenda wasn't really hidden at all.
The plot and the pilot trailer got me hyped up, but in the end, it wasn't such a good experience at all. Let me explain.I have been expecting this since the pilot trailer, and I think that the original plot was more intense, hot, and fun. I was already a little down when the official trailer showed up. What upsets me is that the "Hidden Agenda" was so mid. Not really hidden at all and the plot was all up the table so early in the episodes. It wasn't enjoyable. At least their development as a couple was... good? I'm not sure. However, I understood the choice to focus on their development as a couple and not focus on their dynamic. But it was just... boring.
What I liked, was the secondary couple. Jeng (Aou) and Pok (Boom) were incredible, even with a tiny screen time their fights and problems were so much deeper if you compare them to Joke and Zo. Their acting was amazing too. Well, Joong (Joke) and Zo (Dunk) were good too actually. And they got better since their last series (Star In My Mind), so it's good to see them improving.
And just a little observation: The OST was soooo good. And the photography was really cute too.
