Boat and Oat’s affair to remember.
Have you ever watched a series that felt like it was written and produced purely for the leads’ love affair? That’s exactly what My Stubborn delivers.
At its core, the story follows two very different individuals who could easily be called an “odd couple.” One is tall, reserved, and confident in his sexuality, while the other is shorter, loud, and confused . Watching their relationship evolve—and seeing how their personalities clash and then complement each other—is half the fun. The other half? The unapologetically explicit NC17 scenes that appear in almost every episode. Honestly, it felt like being transported back to my college days, and I couldn’t help but relate to some of their escapades.
Surprisingly, those intimate scenes never overshadowed the storyline. The leads’ chemistry was so strong that it was hard not to believe they had something going on off-screen. The way they looked at each other made it impossible not to root for them as a real couple by the end.
The production values aren’t as polished as other Thai BLs, but that’s not what this show is about. My Stubborn is about missed opportunities, about living vicariously through Boat and Oat’s journey.
I’ll admit, at one point I thought the frequent NC17 scenes might drag the story down—but in the end, I realized the series wouldn’t have been the same without them.
It’s a show I could easily rewatch: it’s cute, funny, sad, and ultimately satisfying when the leads finally end up together. A perfect recipe for a sweet, indulgent dessert. Because at the end of the day, this isn’t about the drama of life—it’s the Boat and Oat show.
