Excellent chemistry and romances in a comfortable and predictable drama.
Subjective Gut Rating: 8.25
I am in the right mood and I am eating this all up. In search of a fun drama to make me happy, “Me and Who” fits the bill. This fantasy rom-com is super bingeable and I finished all 10 episodes in a day. It is by no means a perfect drama, nor one you have never seen before. In fact, we have seen similar transmigration themes, mind-reading and even how romance is developed. There are no surprises. But maybe because it’s a comfort watch that I am looking for, it all works out.
Let’s start with the biggest flaw: Totally abandoning trying to act like the old Apo. In the early episodes, Suriya was teaching Apo how to be the original Apo. From how to talk like Apo to dress like him and act like him. They even try to fake being in love to avoid the prying eyes of the hilarious Butler Francois. Yet, after those episodes of ‘training’, Apo never really makes the effort to fake it. All goes to chalking up that he lost his memory and his personality changed after the accident. I was hoping to see more ridiculous outfits! Although mind-reading is central to the plot, actually, it didn’t really create huge conflict or impact. In a way, if you are looking for an exciting mind-reading drama with all the suspense, you might be disappointed.
A minor complaint is the acting of Big (as Suriya) in comparison to Park’s Apo. Big appears a little more emotionless. Park has improved since I last saw him in “Monster Next Door”. I also want to see the original Apo more. He didn’t have too many scenes except for the very end. Park was great as the original Apo and I would have loved to see more of his sassy meanness, and strutting down the hallway like he’s on a catwalk. You can also say another minor criticism is the predictability of everything. You can tell how the romance will be developed. You can tell who the ‘villain’ is. You can tell the secret will be found out by someone someday. But as I said earlier, I am fine with all that, as I’m looking for a fun and happy drama.
Speaking of fun, there are many comedic moments and slightly over-the-top in the first part of the drama. I did laugh out loud a little and enjoyed these hilarious scenes. I was surprised by Park/Apo’s awesome and funny dance moves. I love Butler Francois as the spy and not-so-secretive shipper. I was in awe of Apo’s original sexy Chinese-style engagement outfit, the peacock and disco ball rituals. But these moments do die down toward the second half of the drama.
I love the romance storylines here. I am a big sucker for those does-he-like-me-or-not guessing games. Both couples have great chemistry and gave us sweet and cute couple scenes. I have to applaud the kiss scenes by Big and Park. Their kisses are passionate and romantic, not like they are eating someone’s face or dead fish kisses. I feel like a voyeur whenever they have their intimate times. The secondary romance is also very satisfying. They don’t take up too much screentime or the spotlight away from the main couple. Yet, I love seeing them together and just enough time is dedicated to them to give us a satisfying romance without feeling rushed.
If you could suspend belief a little and want something fun and sweet, I would recommend “Me And Who”. It was quite fun without being cringey. The leads have excellent chemistry and the romances are well-developed and executed. I had a great time binge-watching this drama. Things might have gotten a little more serious in the last few episodes, but it’s still a pretty light watch, especially with all the kisses I get to see.
