My own view on this series
Casting kept bothering me. It should have been better. The original Make it right which comes in 2016 casting was good. The guy who's playing Ohm's character in the 2026 version doesn't suit the "Frame" character. The 2026 casting doesn't do justice to it. Many scenes are missing from the original. Let's wait and see how the series goes.Was this review helpful to you?
Just Good Entertainment
A sweet and very funny romcom that manages to remain enjoyable from start to finish. The concept itself is simple and not really something we haven't seen before, but the clever use of humour is what makes it stand out from a typical rom-com. It's unhinged, very adult and very refreshing to watch, while still delivering some heartfelt moments in between.Regarding the acting, it was very good. The cast is very experienced and they all nailed their parts.
Overall, I recommend the series to people who enjoy rom-coms, but also want to see adult actors playing adult characters.

The greatest Korean BL is an average straight drama
İ had a theory when i started watching BL specifically korean, the reason why most of them are not that great is they had a huge label on them."The Queer label" i like to call it...
They have to be an art house or a personal experience instead of just being an entertaining show, they lack normal stories and natural acting, also i at some point started believing that its a quick pass to fame for some newcomers, or just to fill up some gaps in their resume because most KBL chose the least known actors or some idols from not very famous bands to act in them.
And this one here broke all stereotypes, it's a story-based show instead of relying on fan service they actually invested in the story, which was quite average story come to think of it. A detective, a prosecutor, and a crime. They connect the dots, solve the whodunnit mystery, expose the bad guy and happily ever after, actors were actually good, looks like they actually had a proper chemistry test before getting the roles.
A very very mediocre drama, the evidence started showing while watching, the person you kinda suspect ends up being the bad guy, obviously, and the mystery is easily solved with less drama.
So why am i sitting here trying to understand why everyone are so amazed and impressed by it, because it's the first KBL to have the common sense to be an straight drama, just remove one of the leads and put a female and voilà, you cracked the code! Congratulations!!
Was it a good show? Yeah it's entertaining and enjoyable.
Am i impressed by it like everyone else? Not really, it's very average, i usually judge the show as a whole, and this was an average one, a well made average drama ~

Mercy for Some
Agent Kim Reactivated is at its best when it leans into comedy, found‑family chaos, and the emotional weight of Kim’s past. So Ji Sub delivers a pitch‑perfect performance as a mild‑mannered office worker hiding lethal skills, and the show shines whenever it lets him be dry, exasperated, and quietly dangerous. The emotional flashbacks to Kim’s childhood add depth, and the father‑daughter storyline provides a strong anchor even when the plot gets messy. That said, the North Korea arc drags, the missed connections feel unnecessarily outlandish, and Episode 9 veers into nonsensical territory just to force a showdown.The series delivers top‑tier comedy and action, especially in Episodes 3, 7, and 8, where Jin Cheol steals entire scenes with his dramatic flair and chaotic energy. The show’s humor — from fridge‑door destruction to blacksmith jokes mid‑fight — is consistently on point. The finale wraps up a bit too neatly, with certain characters escaping the consequences they deserved. Still, the journey is entertaining, full of heart, and driven by memorable performances.
What I liked the most though, is the old‑man bromance between So Ji Sub , Yoon Kyung Ho, and Choi Dae Hoon — their bickering, teamwork, and sheer ridiculousness elevate every episode. And newcomer Seo Su Min is genuinely excellent as Minji.

Decent Story but filled with loopholes and absurdity
The storyline of a husband going to extreme lengths to save his wife is good on paper but unfortunately putting it in action is where they messed up. This is one of those dramas where common sense is missing from the world, the same old generic leads with misunderstandings, with you might even end up hating FL in the initial episodes, the cops are generic for most of the drama and it does gets frustrating to watch just how idiotic and brainless they are shown. Take away ML going scorched earth against all odds to find his wife, there isn't much left in the drama to make it engaging.The actors have done a decent job with roles both the good and the bad ones. The actor playing the role of psycho for me isn't exactly hitting the mark, he looks crazy just not that terrifying that would give me chills. ML for most part is stone faced which actually get on my nerves at times, when it comes to pulling of complex emotions he fails to do so. FL kind of starts as obnoxius and toxic, though we do see some character development.
It is a one time watch and if you ignore all the stupidity you may find it decent.

No bad words to say!
i haven't been watching thai bls for long. but me and thee was one of the first ones I watch while it was still airing. i usually only like angsty shows, sad stuff, absolutely NOTHING happy. but me and thee and peach and me changed everything for me. i barely watch romcoms but pondphuwin as theepeach were just the best. i might be biased (considering all the 10 stars I've given) but this is genuinely my comfort show, i could rewatch this a million times and still laugh as much as I did the first time.an award for thee for being the greenest flag ever. and also peach, i don't see anyone giving peach credit, but he's quite literally the ideal green flag (who could realistically exist because we all know thee only exists fictionally). i don't think most people understand how much peach loves and sacrifices for his loved ones. they're both the GREENEST flags together and so hopelessly in love.
rome and mok oh my god, while they had their own rollercoaster events, they're the CUTEST. i love how rome is so fierce and would kill ruthlessly but when it comes to mok, he's just a golden retriever puppy. and mok, mok loves silently, but he loves hard. his actions speak louder than words <3
tawan and aran. while they had a pretty rocky start, they made it. tawan changed for the better and aran made sure he was right beside him. though I was sceptical during me and thee because tawan didn't have any character development, in peach and me, i can say he's turning into a puppy for his boyfriend too hahahhaha
mira and plub. MY CUTIES! they didn't have much screentime (i mean understandably so, 4 eps isn't quite enough to establish a relationship) but i still loved them. i don't really watch gls (though I want to, i have so many in my watchlist. im just scared of seeing so many beautiful women. the gay panic is real) but I'm definitely gonna binge watch every series that has emibonnie. their chemistry is undeniable.
also shoutout to mork and marn hahahaha. theepeach having kids just fits so right and they're the CUTEST family ever.
all and all, not one bad episode, not one bad soundtrack, not one shitty storyline. just perfection. this made one of my loneliest years so much more brighter! i haven't laughed this much in YEARS.
thank you pondphuwin and thank you p'x for making these masterpieces.
though it seems far fetched, i hope we'll get "calm down, khun rome" maybe MAYBE. hahahahaha.
everytime i need comfort, just know you'll find me there.
"oh just me and you" <3

I loved seeing the characters back.
Sad that that it was so short.
Sad that it ended.
I loved that they commit to the bit of how ridiculous this series can be while also being so lovely and fun to watch. love the friendships and the family they built.
The soundtrack was good.

PERFECT SLOW-BURN SUMMER DRAMA
I enjoyed each and every episode. The storyline, the chemistry, the plot twists and the friendships, I loved that. All those heavy and soft feelings, perfect mix of love and sadness, misunderstandings and reunions, all in one series.How ML and FL stick to each other in both happy and sad times, just their presence radiated warmth. Two youngsters falling in love and growing deeper understanding about life and themselves along the way, felt refreshing. The part where FL's grandmother died and how ML helped her to see the colors of life again, was powerful and soft. They truly were each other's strength and weakness.
The ugly business politics and industry tactics, broken families and treacherous relationships, set the base of their emerging love story. None of the characters were perfect, they made mistakes and owed up to them, and were ready to start again.
Wishing a never-ending summer, to the couple who showed us that love never ends and it has always been about choosing each other everyday, who taught us the true definition of loving each other deeply. How to give wings to your dreams, look after your family and goals, work academic balance along with the person you like, making tough choices and a journey that started from hidden feelings and deception, but ended in truest form of love and friendships!

A Must-Watch Action Thriller!
This is honestly such an exciting drama! The plot is really interesting, and I love the uncle-and-niece relationship between the leads. It keeps you on the edge of your seat because you’re always wondering what’s going to happen next.The fight scenes are also really well done, and the action feels intense and thrilling. The actress who played Jian did an amazing job—it’s my first time watching her, and I’m really impressed. Lee Dong Wook is, as always, excellent in his role.
I really hope none of the team members die—Minye, Brother, Pasin, Jinman, and Jian. I want to see all of them again in Season 2. This is such a great show, and I honestly wish it had more episodes because it feels too short!

A Refreshing Blend of Heart Justice n Humor
Pro Bono is easily one of the most engaging legal dramas to watch. It balances serious societal issues with clever humor, making every episode enjoyable from start to finish.The story follows a ragtag team of lawyers taking on unusual and challenging pro bono cases for ordinary people who cannot afford expensive legal representation. Rather than focusing solely on dry legal jargon, the series focuses heavily on human emotions, moral dilemmas, and the fight for justice against unfair systems.
Jung Kyung-ho gives a phenomenal performance as the lead. His expressions, comedic timing, and emotional range bring the character to life and carry the show effortlessly. The dynamic among the pro bono team members grows on you, and watching them learn to trust and rely on each other makes the journey very satisfying.
The individual cases handle meaningful topics—such as animal rights, workplace fairness, and social equality—with a lot of heart. While some case resolutions feel a bit dramatized, the uplifting tone and strong character growth make up for it.
If you are looking for a legal series that is thought-provoking, hilarious, and deeply moving, Pro Bono is definitely worth your time. Highly recommended!

Amazing
This show is absolutely devastating but so so well done. The FL is coerced into a relationship with the sickly and current emperor. Her family's lives are threatened while she is waiting for her beloved who also is the current emperors brother. The Queen mother orchestrated the marriage because the ML had too much military power and she knew if she held the FL ""hostage"" he would always protect the capital and current emperor, his brother. However, jealous is a terrible thing and the emperor kills the ML. A situation the ML knew was coming but came back to the capital anyway because his beloved is there. It brings up the question: who protects our loved ones while we go out and make the ultimate sacrifice? Who is tucking the police officers child into bed while he patrols the streets to ensure our safety?Was this review helpful to you?
Offers a different dynamic
The best thing about this show is that by adding a mystery element, they create a different dynamic, as well as significant added suspense for both the participants and for viewers, particularly during the build up to when all is revealed in the final episode. But this also means that the interactions among the participants are clearly highly controlled and manipulated to maintain that suspense to an even greater extent than normal. When added to the shorter 8-day duration of the filming, we simply don't get the same complexity and depth of the relationships that develop among the participants on some of the other dating shows.Was this review helpful to you?
Wasted potential
The drama could have been wat better easily.This drama was not that bad, but it could have been wat better. Let me first talk about the positive things. The game sub plot was a good thing. It was something unique and got me hooked from the beginning. The chemistry between the two leads was also fire. The plot is simple but not boring and this is a major plus point of this drama. I also liked the character building of tew. It gives him more layers. I also enjoyed the runtime of the series. 8 eps was enough for this drama and i liked it that they did not drag it. The friendship between tew and tul is beautifully amazing. I mean you can feel it in the scène where tul leaves the gang just for tew. And not to forget Wahl i mean playing a character like this where you know is worth haring means that the actor did a great job in his role
Now lets talk about the negatives. The biggest weak point of this drama is the villain kenji. As a villain in a crime bl series you must be dangerous. But here the villain looked almost like a clown. Not to forget in the drama it's shown that tew saved kenji. But why did he turn evil is not explained. Another thing is the side couple. It does not even contribute in the story. It would have been better if they showed the relationship development of the main couple than this. The ost also had no impact on me and the main leads need some more acting workshop especially ping.
In conclusion i will say that it is not the best crime bl drama but it is also not worth the hate. But we can't deny the fact that it could be better easily
Is it worth watching?
It depends. If you expect something like kinnporsche you might get upset. But if you want something light than you can give it a try

Watching because of FL and ML
I have loved Chen Zhe Yuan and Wu Jing Yan since Fated Hearts/Hidden Love and The Double respectively. Started watching purely because of leads and will push through.I do feel that the production value is low and sometimes the scenes seem rather abrupt, not sure if it’s an editing issue or just how the screenplay was written.
Though both ML and FL are good actors, I’m still struggling with their chemistry. Maybe it’s still early in the episodes as Cdramas are all about slow burn but I felt the chemistry between Wu Jing Yan and Wang Xing Yue much earlier in The Double.
Also somewhat disappointed that the ML voice over wasn’t done by him as his voice sounds way better.
Last but not least, the subtitles on Mango TV are absolutely atrocious. ML’s name translates to Hal?? 😓
