No... this drama is the best. In fact, it is really really good. I fear that I've found another gem, a drama that comes around and there won't be anything like it for a long time. Watching these shows are always bittersweet to me, miraculously I watched it while airing.. and the only thing I don't like is that it is over! That isn't to say there isn't any flaws. A 10/10 for me is again, a drama that does it's 'job' but goes beyond that. It is a once in a lifetime drama, unique- not perfect- but checks all the marks for me and entertains me to my core. My very being was this drama during it's run time. Now that it is over, it shaped my outlooks on the genre and so on... so let me explain.

So.. I wasn't waiting for this one. Duang with You dropped its trailer and I thought it was cute, so I tuned in. It only took an episode for me to realize that this was perfectly crafted for someone like me. When I say that I mean it is entertaining me on all fronts. It has great visuals, comedy, writing, and beneath all that it is simply layered with attention to detail. It even got me reading the novel, and I can say this is an adaptation well done. Reminds me of My School President in a way of its charm, and by how I like the drama adaptation better than the source material. Props to the screenwriters for it, adapting this novel is hard work since is reads as more of journal entries. Putting it together in a drama took a lot of creativity, and I can tell it was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, I am just feeling bad for everyone involved because they will never be able to work together on anything like this again, in terms of the cast being in one drama...

I am just going through some sort of withdrawal here so bear with me. I am writing because I feel like it is sort of my duty to at least give this a 10/10 here because of how much I've enjoyed my life while watching this. The atmosphere does it for me, it is a college setting- but somehow... it is not cliche- at all?

I give it to Duang and his friends for that. Duang byfar is my favorite character, and I think TeeTee was born for the role. He has charm, wit, and sincerely understands the role he has here. Duang would come off as annoying and would if the actor didnt' go over the fine line between annoyance and endearing. But TeeTee plays is flawlessly, not awkardly, no hiccups, it's just enjoyable. I was smiling a lot for his scenes, and putting him together with Por is a matchmade in heaven. Another pairing that I didn't see coming, as now BL is in the age where couples are put together and I look for those dramas with couples I like. Thankfully I gave this one a chance, and now I have another pairing that I would die for.

You can tell they really like eachother. Tee and Por I mean.. they are naturally good looking together, and naturally have fun together. A lot of work behind the scenes to grow that chemistry. The whole cast has great chemistry. I was really happy to see how the friend groups work together, and I wasn't bored in those scenes either. Every second in this drama I enjoyed and stayed tuned it. There is this genuine feeling when watching the cast together, I see the actors having fun so I am. It comes down to everything just coming together really. The writing was carefully done, pre and post production, and in the end a spectacular drama came out of it. I wonder if the crew involved knew that they would have something this good, or if they were suprised? It is hard to explain it really... but it isn't my job to overanalyze editing and all that... my job here is to just share that I love this drama and I feel bad for those who don't come across it.
