YALLLLLL 😭 I have been contemplating how to write this review for the longest time because honestly… I THINK THIS SERIES, Me and Thee, HAS ZERO COMPLAINTS FROM ME. And if you know me from my previous reviews… YOU KNOW I LOVE TO COMPLAIN. Complaining is literally my love language. My hobby. My personality trait. So the fact that I’m sitting here struggling to find something to drag??? That’s already suspicious. 😏

Now let’s talk about something extremely important. THE VISUALS. Because y’all already know I LURVVVVEEEE PRETTY MEN and GOOD GOD this series was basically a visual assault on my sanity. Especially Pond Naravit. GIRL. Every time this man appeared on screen I was literally cursing at my laptop like “WHY ARE YOU THIS GOOD LOOKING???? WHO ALLOWED THIS????” 😭 His eyes??? SPARKLING. Like actual Disney prince sparkle. At first I was watching peacefully like “Okay… wait… hold on… why does Phuwin look so handsome here???” And I was already impressed.

BUT THEN POND SHOWED UP.

And I swear to God I stared at the screen for five full minutes like "HOW CAN A MAN BE THIS FUCKING GORGEOUS OH LORD HAVE MERCY ON MY SOUL 😩" This man literally looks like he walked straight out of a manhwa. Like somebody drew him with perfect lighting and said “Yeah this is unrealistic but let’s release him into the real world anyway.” SIR THIS FACE IS A PUBLIC DISTRACTION 😮‍💨 Anyway… before I start barking let me actually review the series.

This review will probably be shorter than my usual chaos because honestly there’s not much for me to complain about.

Which again…

IS RARE.

________________________________

a) Plot

PERFECT. 10/10. No notes. No complaints. No emotional damage. Just pure enjoyment. And listen, I already had expectations because PondPhuwin series usually deliver. But this one??

THIS ONE SET THE BAR.

The plot execution is smooth, funny, dramatic in the best way, and surprisingly detailed. I LOVE how the cinematography sometimes mirrors Thai soap operas because Mr. Thee grew up watching them to feel close to his mother, who is an actress. That detail alone made me sit up like OH??? THE DIRECTOR CAME PREPARED. And the writing??

Yes it’s cheesy.
Yes it’s dramatic.
Yes it’s a little cringe.

AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND OF IT. 😭 Because it makes sense for Mr. Thee’s character. This man literally learned Thai from soap operas so of course he’s dramatic as hell. Of course he talks like he’s starring in episode 843 of a melodrama. That’s the whole point. And I swear to God there was not a single episode where I didn’t laugh. Not once. I laughed so hard for four days straight that I’m pretty sure my lungs are filing a complaint. I might actually have asthma now. THIS SHOW CAUSED MEDICAL DAMAGE. 😭 If I have ONE tiny complaint though… It’s that the marriage and kids happened a bit too fast.

Like excuse me???

I blinked once and suddenly they were married with children like "BOY WAIT A MINUTE I MISSED THREE LIFE MILESTONES." Also can we talk about the insane level of detail in this show??? Even the smallest things were thought through. Like Mr. Thee’s bedroom door literally has his full name written on it: “Theerakit Kian Lee.”

And when I noticed that I was sitting there like "WHO ARE THESE PRODUCTION STAFF??? WHY ARE THEY SO DETAIL-ORIENTED??? ARE Y’ALL OKAY??? BECAUSE I LOVE YOU FOR THIS" But one thing I’m still curious about… Why did Mr. Thee suddenly decide he wanted to sleep with Aran in the beginning???

Like sir.

That decision came out of nowhere and I was like HELLO??? CONTEXT PLEASE??? 😭

b) Characters

NO COMPLAINTS. NONE. ZIP. ZERO. I genuinely liked all the characters because their development was natural and subtle. Not forced. Mr. Thee is hilarious and cringe but in the most lovable way possible. One minute he’s embarrassing himself dramatically and the next minute he’s being unexpectedly sweet. Meanwhile Peach is the calm, understanding one who actually knows how to deal with Mr. Thee’s chaotic personality. And THANK GOD Peach is not the typical “i’M wEaK aNd i’M iN dEbT pLeAsE sAvE mE” character we always get whenever there’s a mafia boss involved.

Because I am SO TIRED of that trope. Let the man have dignity PLEASE 😮‍💨

Now let’s talk about supporting characters. MOK. MOKKKKKKK MY BOYYYYYY 😮‍💨 This man is the ultimate matchmaker but he does it so subtly. No drama. No obvious manipulation. Just quietly pushing two idiots closer together like “Yeah this should work.” I swear I wish I had a Mok in my life. Everyone deserves a Mok.

Honestly I can’t even explain every character dynamic properly because you really have to watch it yourself to understand how well they work together.

c) Steamy scenes

Listen… What did I expect from GMMTV? 😏 It’s mild spicy. But still enough to make my heart jump a little. Not “throw the laptop across the room” spicy. More like “okay wait hold on that was kinda hot.” 😳

d) OST

LOVE ITTTT 😌

Some of these songs are definitely going into my Spotify playlist because they actually fit the vibe of the series perfectly.

e) Overall

Do I even need to say more? Just go watch it. Watch it and then come back and tell me I’m wrong. Because you’ll understand exactly what I meant. The last time I gave a series full marks was Peaceful Property. So that should already tell you something. PondPhuwin really did it again. I tried SO HARD to find loopholes in this show. I went into detective mode. I searched for problems like "WHERE IS THE FLAW??? WHERE IS THE ISSUE???"

But unfortunately…

I just ended up loving it. And y’all already know my rule: I never rewatch series unless they are extremely good.

But this one??? Oh baby. I WOULD REWATCH. 😏

Final rating: 10/10. DAYUMMMMM 🫦
