One of my favorites - What I like/not like list
I liked:- The story. Be gay, do crime, fight capitalism. Yes.
- The acting, especially Gun's acting. He did an amazing job!!
- The script. It shows an understanding of the topics, which I always very much appreciate, but in this particular case I think it was decisive to make it a good story and not a cringy one.
- Honestly, loved the series.
- Black and White characters, and how Black was with everyone else vs his brother.
Not fond of:
- Them showing their tattoos and wearing flashy clothes and masks while doing their activism. It doesn't make sense in reality.
- The abrupts changes and stops of music, not fond of music production here in general.
- Yok and Dan getting back together. Still I think it was adequate because of the message of the story, but ugh, cops and betrayal, not a combination I can forgive easily.
- Gram and Gene getting together at the end. I love Gram, but girl, you can do better than keep dating the same group of friends.
- As always, I'd liked more development, more episodes. But it's ok.

This set the bar high
I’ve never written a review of a show before, but after watching NOT ME, I had to. There were plot twists, there were secret identities, and the chemistry between the two male leads felt like it built up in a nice organic way. There were political themes in the show, but it wasn’t done in a way that made it unrelatable or uninteresting. It made me question what is “right” and “fair”. This show will leave you on the edge of your seat as each episode progresses and it wasn’t predictable to me like many shows can be.Was this review helpful to you?

PERFECT
This is the best BL for me yet the story is so good and it doesn't have too much action and politics which can get boring but it has the perfect amount of it and the slowburn is just perfect i love slowburns and this one was the best slowburn series I have ever watched though there were some parts that were a little weird or unrealistic like how are 5 random boys doing all this and not getting killed and the connection between black and white is a little weird because it's kind of like bluetooth it only works if they are close but everything else SERVES even side characters are written so well and each ship has some depth to them.Was this review helpful to you?

One of the best action series in BL history.
I think this is the best BL ever.The story is amazing, actors are perfect and actions are understandable.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was the storyline between Black and Gram. I saw that people say that Gram was "Straight-washed", but i dont think that's necessarily the case. Although I think it's a bit odd for Gram to be in a relationship with the ex of his especially close friend. I mean they spent every single day together and are kind of close, so why?
However, the thing I enjoyed the most was the Story between White and Sean. Their Chemistry was amazing, the way they cared for each other was just adorable. I loved every single second of them.
I also really enjoyed watching the bond between Black and White and how it deepens throughout the series.
And OMG, THE MUSIC???? 10000/10

A Grounded Political Thriller with A Romantic Twist
Not Me is a political thriller masquerading as a romantic drama. The performance by Gun is outstanding; he tackles two distinct roles with immense depth and nuance. You can clearly see the effort he has put into expanding his acting range.His on-screen chemistry with Off is off the charts as always, anchoring a tragic, gritty, and chilling story that is particularly relevant to today’s political climate.
The ending reimagines the possibilities of what a BL series can be. It is grounded and bittersweet, yet still provides a glimmer of hope for the audience.

Definitely one of the best GMMTV Series
I finally watched this in 2025—yeah, super late 😅I’d lost interest in Thai series and movies for a while, but Not Me was one of the few that got me out of my watching slump.
Not Me isn’t a typical BL series. It blends thriller, romance, and activism in a way that feels fresh and meaningful, and it shows how politics and the law are really used in the real world.
The acting is top-notch—especially Gun. Gotta give it up to him. Playing two characters with completely different personalities and making viewers instantly tell them apart? That’s skill. Off doesn’t disappoint either; he truly brings Sean to life.
And the tension between them in the middle of the series? Damn. No need for excessive NC scenes to convey their emotions or their love—the chemistry and acting say it all.
The 14 episodes left me wanting more, largely because of how strong the soundtrack and cinematography are. It feels very different from most typical GMMTV series. The music is always on point, blending seamlessly with each scene and elevating the emotions throughout.
Overall, Not Me stands out as a bold and meaningful series that goes far beyond typical BL storytelling. With its powerful performances, striking cinematography, and an unforgettable soundtrack, it delivers both emotional depth and social relevance. It’s a series that stays with you long after the final episode.

A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!
I love this so much, it gives me so much comfort and I love the fact that the couples aren't the main plot properly, like I didn't even know that there'd be a couple when I started watching. The way they talk about social problems is amazing. I wish we had YokGram tho, they'd be perfect. Even the OST and soundtrack are amazing.Was this review helpful to you?
One of the best drama I have watch!!
So this is the first time ever I’m writing review so I might Not be able to include everything I wanna do. I’m new in bl world and I have watched multiples of drama and only few of them good stories and plots . And to be honest ‘Not me’ is the best one. In ‘ Not Me ‘ every casting is too good. All the casting’s acting are so on the point like everyone has portrayed every emotion on the point like from faith to disappointment, trust to betrayal hate to love happiness to sadness rage to revenge, like every emotions are so good as you can even feel them. And yes this is the only drama that I have watched where there’s nothing cringe especially the female cast. The story is on the spot and the plots are so good.The very first drama of OffGun I watched was ‘theory of love’ and they has been my favorite since then. They portray every character so naturally especially ‘Gun’ . He has done acting so naturally like it never felt on and off. As you watch his every drama you’ll get that. And in ‘Not me ‘ he has done his best work. He had shown two different characters and both are on the top. I have never seen the cold and rude side of Gun and he totally nailed the character. I really want him to act such more character like gangster damn!! (Actually I’m writing this review to praise ’Gun’s’ work like he is the show’s stealer and he deserves every compliment)
As a whole the whole drama is so good. You’ll never feel bore or anything but excitement. I’m little bit confused with the ending but yes overall the drama is on the top.

A series worth remembering for years to come!
I finished this series a few minutes ago. and am so happy to have found it!The plot was what some would call a "basic" idea, but it impressed me beyond words. - It follows White and Black (yes, I know; who names their kids Black and White? But bare with me, because it works really well for them), a pair of twins that got separated ten years ago because of their ability to feel the other one's feelings; ex. when dying or feeling extremely happy. But Black gets into an accident, making White join his gang to find out who it was who hurt Black - while pretending to be Black, aka taking his place.
Some hiccups of the production would be the extremely abrupt jumps from scenes. It made me kinda confused the first few times, thinking my computer was acting up. But if you just look past it, I'm sure you'll adore the series. The soundtrack is beautiful, the plot well written and the characters are rounded with lots of perspectives of life.
And the ACTING; yo! Gun Atthaphan's acting gave me chills at times. Especially when he had to act like two completely different characters (the twins), even sometimes in the same scene at once. He's so f*cking talented, it's beyond anything I've seen in a Bl Drama before. He made me love White and despise Black, being the same face for both of them. - And the other actors, and actresses (there's even a trans character!) are really good too. But Gun stood out to me, not gonna lie.
The series also takes up some interesting perspectives on life, especially societal struggles, making you reflect on your own society and laws. It shone a bright light on rich people acting above the law, while the lower society had to take the scraps thrown at them. - But it also shows no regard to whether the characters in question are gay or not. There's not a single character that acts up when two guys enter a relationship, and it's such a nice change from past BL dramas, not gonna lie.
If you've read this far; please give it a chance. I promise that you won't regret it! It's a "mafia" gang, going up against the rich, with QUEER sprinkled all over the place. What more can you want?
What I loved most about this series though was the fact that I really couldn't see where the plot was leading at times. I always tend to have a gut feeling about where the characters are heading. But this one made me think and think and think, making me crazy at times. And that was really special to me, making the series ten times more enjoyable.
GO WATCH IT NOW!

Still the most unique and brilliant BL to this day
Not Me was one of my first ever BLs from GMM TV, I watched originally it as it was airing. Let’s just say anything after it seemed very basic and also boringI’ve never seen a BL since which has such an incredible and unique story, which shows the issues in Thai society and politics
The characters are also really enticing, and the acting is simply one of the best I’ve seen in a BL. Gun nailed it as Black and White, and Off too as Sean
It sure isn’t for everyone, but it’s a masterpiece you should watch

Gave me my first panic attack
Black and White are twins separated during their parents divorce and they have a twin thing. Black gets badly beat and White decides to take his place in the gang and disguises himself to find and get revenge on the people that beat Black.I love a character with a secret. The plot is really strong, isn’t cliche and not that much about romance so doesn’t feel like a typical BL, romance isn’t the main focus. It’s about corruption and oppression by the upper class and government and talks about class disparity. Which makes the product placement when talking about these topics feel out of place…. Its one of the few bl that passes the bechdal test LOL. I watched 4 episodes and had a nocturnal panic attack…. 10/10

Just rewatched Not Me for the Third time (If the times I watched only my fav scene don't count)And it's still as good as when it was out the first time.
For me it's the best OffGun series for now.
I just don't vibes with Dan and Yok. I don't like Gawin acting with Dan sorry.
Gun did an amazing job protraying two boys, and it's incredible how we can spot which is which with one look.
I love how it was really some problematic that was happening in real life. As far as I remember when Not Me was out, real demonstration were happening, for the same reason as Tawi (and more than that, but mostly because rich are ass that let poor with nothing).
I also love how they talked about a lot of social issues. I know they tried they best to introduce people to real life issue such as LGBT+, Womenhood and Capitalism. I'm just sad it was for most just a little sentence about it, expect for the capitalism one (since it's the heart of what they fight for)
After the third watching, I just notice how Nuch is a self insert of Anuchy.. As if the name wasn't clear enough....
Anyway, I'm glad OffGun and Anuchy will work together again.
