i have never laughed so hard at a thai bl in my LIFE (thank you pond)
holy shit, i can't believe this show is over. gmmtv (or should i say gmm thee v) i am COMING for you, why is this show only 10 episodes this is a crime. but honestly, this show is nothing short of incredible. i mean, pond and phuwin knocked it out of the park with their performances, especially pond he was SO good. other than that, the writing was sharp and for once ACTUALLY funny, the side couples were great, and i had a TON of fun with this show. so with that, let's get into it!
i want to start off with the plot, which in my opinion is the weakest part of the show. not too much happens in this show honestly. its kinda just thee chasing after peach, which honestly, i have no complaints about. i did think it was odd how the "we aren't allowed to love" rule in the lee family was just kinda thrown out the window when it was convenient for the plot, but this is a silly show, so i'm willing to let it slide. that's how i feel about a LOT of this show's imperfections. if this was a more serious show, even if it was more like never let me go which i consider to be pondphuwin's most serious show, i would care more about poor writing choices. however, i wasn't watching me and thee for the super serious and complex plot, because there wasn't one. i was here for pondphuwin, and i was here to laugh, and honestly, i got EXACTLY what i came for. was the plot kinda lacking, i GUESS, but it's the characters that shine, not the plot. speaking of the characters, that is what i want to dive into next.
the characters in this show are so perfect. genuinely, i love them all so much. my favorite character, shockingly, is the incredible khun thee. i know, i'm so niche and different guys you don't have to tell me. but seriously, its impossible for thee to NOT be my favorite character. not only is pond my favorite actor of literally all fucking time, but thee is so funny its kind of insane. not to be mean or anything, but i don't usually laugh very much at thai shows. idk if its a language barrier thing, but it is very, VERY rare for me to laugh at thai bls at all, much less multiple times per episode, and the amazing humor in this show is basically all because of thee, and pond's performance. i get that pond and thee are kinda similar already, but lets be real, pond was giving 110% for this role. every single line, every single facial expression, it was all genuinely perfect. pond naravit lertratkosum the actor you are. besides pond's portrayal of thee, there are LOT of other incredible characters. peach was also really amazing. he was so real honestly, and i think phuwin did a really great job playing peach. peach was probably an easier role to play, but phuwin was phenomenal (as always). peach was really endearing, and i loved theepeach's dynamic. i'm just gonna say it, i think that pondphuwin have the best chemistry out of any gmmtv ship. they are SO great onscreen together, and this was definitely their best performance yet, not only in playing their characters individually but also in how they interacted together. thee and peach were basically made for pond and phuwin, and they nailed it.
other than thee and peach, the rest of the cast of characters were funny as well. plub is my baby like i dont care i love her so much. bonnie delivered a really awesome performance, i loved my thee and plub moments they were so cute. est as mok was also such a highlight. his eye roles were unironically SO funny, and my only complaint about mok is that he didn't get nearly enough screentime with rome. SPEAKING OF ROME. william may have only been in the show for like 20 minutes total, but god that man left such an impact on me. romemok are so dear to me, the fact that they got practically zero screentime is my biggest gripe with this show. if they don't get a ton of screentime in the spinoff i will be BEYOND pissed and will have some choice words with gmmtv. i have the same complaint about tawan and aran. perth and santa are INCREDIBLE actors, so why are we giving them no time to shine at all. i feel like tawan and aran could have been a lot better of a side couple if they got more screentime, especially with how much of an asshole tawan was. i mean, he punched peach, and then after his family is exposed, aran just TAKES HIM BACK??? like why? there was no buildup for that at all. i mean, i love seeing perthsanta happy together so i guess i'm okay with it, but i really wish their plot had more time to develop. but still, the characters were fun. i know i sound like a broken record but i just want to say this one more time: the actors all had AMAZING performances. i haven't been this impressed by the acting in a thai show in a really long time.
before i wrap things up, i do want to touch on the music in this show. very rarely do i pay much attention if any at all to the music in bls, but the music in this show is SO good. i'm being so serious when i say that "me and you" is in like 15 of my playlists and i listen to it at least 5 times a day. i can't get enough of this show's music. pond and phuwin have such good voices, so their osts are really top notch.
so, to conclude this very long and convoluted review, i just want to say that this show is not perfect. is my perfect rating a little misleading, maybe, but this show is a 10 to ME. in my heart, there are no flaws in me and thee, even though obviously it's not perfect. i haven't had this much fun while watching a bl in a very long time. this show was magical, it got me through the cold and dark of november, december, and half of january. i already know i will be coming back to rewatch this show again and again. if you want a show with lots of funny moments and really great characters, this is for you. me and thee is absolutely taking the cake as my favorite thai bl of all time (dethroning boys in love which is such a close second). i can't recommend it enough, so if you haven't watched it yet, do yourself a favor and introduce yourself to the world of theerakit kian lee. i promise you, you will NOT regret it!!
