Enemies with Benefits

A refreshing comedy featuring a couple with great chemistry.

Episode 1: A great start, with good production, funny effects in just the right amount. A lot is edited. The acting is very good and the characters are captivating; they make you connect with them very easily. So far, the story is very good.

Episode 2: We're starting to get to know the characters more deeply. I hope it continues like this; it's very good. The supporting characters are funny and do their job well. I don't know if the story intends to address something more dramatic, but I hope so; that would be the icing on the cake. I liked the bowling scenes; the protagonists are very cute together!!!

EP 3 and 4: I liked seeing how the relationship is developing, they are learning to deal with this new situation. Doubts and challenges are also arising in the midst of this "friendship", and they need to learn how to deal with this and how to resolve it. It's really fun to watch. There's not much drama, it's light and fun. I'm delighted with both of them.
NOTE: Lal is very charismatic and witty, and Wine is the spitting image of Nantam hahahah

Episode 5: It's beautiful to see the characters "making the turn" in their relationship, and gradually falling in love.

Sexxy Rom-com With So Much Sense

ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS' episode 1 already has underwear-shedding scenes! Could it get any more promising than THAT?! So! What do future episodes have in store?!!? WE ARE ALL EGGGGGZOITTTTED 😬🥹😜😁🥳 My Jingjing heart is happy, but Jan is a darn good actress too. They're like two warring peas inside a very sexy pod!

ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS ep 5 has all "the feels" - up, down, left, right.... Just like a real relationship! Haha haha

"Friends with benefits", "situationship", "no label"... Everybody thinks that THAT's more convenient? Na-ah!! Eventually, you overthink, you overfeel, you go on overdrive and the FWB status implodes on itself because real feelings start kicking in.

EWB episode 5 shows that people are selfish, all right, that's a fact. But human nature is all about nurturing and concern and paying attention and caring for one another....

Wine and Lal as team leaders is a clear reflection of what they are as persons: They aren't self-centered beeyatcherz like New, or insensitive pricks like Proud; they're good people who are sometimes caught in bad circumstances. Like all of us are in the real world, y'know....

So! Lal and Wine are gonna be in for the worst (and hopefully, for the best too), but it looks like they'll be fine.

As for the Ciize-Kapook plot twist, it sure seems like THAT will be bad girl vs good girl mayhem, chaotic AF! Haha haha

Ep 7 of #EnemiesWithBenefits just hugged my heart and then politely wrecked it.

This show isn't just a romance—it's a therapy session dressed up in top-level face cards, and episode 7 proved it.

Can we talk about Lal? Because I'm officially in love. 💚

Lal is the walking, breathing definition of a green flag Prince Charming for our angstsy Princess Wine. Where Wine carries a whole storage unit of emotional excess baggage (the heavy kind with broken zippers), Lal shows up like a knight with a gentle smile, ready to haul that baggage one piece at a time—come hell or high water.

Episode 7 gave us:
· Wine spiraling into a dark place because someone (or something) triggered that deep, raw anguish she buries inside.

· And then Lal arriving—not with grand speeches, but with soft eyes, steady presence, and the kind of rescue that feels like a warm blanket rather than a flashy sword.

What I love is how intelligent this series is. It doesn't just say "love heals everything" in a shallow way. It dives deep into how emotional scars can make someone flinch at kindness, push people away, or completely shut down.

Some people accidentally poke those wounds and cause mental chaos, and this episode showed that ache so honestly.

But then there's ...drum roll... Lal! A living reminder that the right person doesn't run from your baggage—they sit next to it and ask, "Which one do you want to unpack first?"

Highlights from my Lal-love tribute:
· Always to the rescue of Wine—not to control, but to support.
· She's so patient that I'm convinced she has a secret superpower called "calmly melt Wine's walls."
· Her face when Wine finally lets her in? Instant tears, but the happy kind.

Enemies with Benefits promised a heartfelt deep-dive into the darkness of emotional weight, and episode 7 delivered it wrapped in a Lal-shaped ray of sunshine. If Wine is the storm, Lal is the safe harbor—and I'm over here yelling, "Protect them both, please, in Ep 8 and thank you."

ENEMIES WITH BENEFITS Ep 8 - There's so much I wanna say, but for now I'm speechless. Allow me some time to collect my thoughts and calm my feelings first....

...

Ok, now let's talk. If we haven't watched episodes 1-7, we'd say ep 8 is a transposed episode of SHADES that's existing in some adults-acting-like teenagers alternate universe! Because Lal and Wine are acting like teenagers who can't understand and can't control their hormones-gone-berserk-driven emotions. But wait - These are intelligent career women in their late 20s or early 30s, holding leadership positions, having feelings so overwhelming, that it's driving them cuckoo!

First, there's Lal - the smitten, head-over-heels-in-love sweet devoted puppy who thinks matching pajamas equals matching worldviews and mindsets that are in sync. Lal, you're in Sales, goodness gracious, you must know that communication is key and assuming won't get you anywhere. Stop speculating that you know what Wine thinks and feels - Talk to her, like have long, meaningful let's-expose-our-souls conversations with the woman you love and find out what makes her tick, what pushes her buttons, other than great --x.

And then there's the gorgeously sexy on the outside all knotted up and repressed on the inside Wine. Insecure, self-effacing, self-demeaning defeatist Wine. Wine's hang-ups and traumas could trigger dissertations on mental health and we'd still never comprehend why she's scaredy-cat acquiescent with Korn and tiger-fierce with Lal! There's something seething inside Wine that we'd never really get, that Lal would never really figure out, because Wine herself hasn't seriously dealt with the ghosts inside her shell.... Except that itty-bitty sliver of vulnerability she reveals when she said, "I'm afraid there's no one else who'd care for me as much as you do, so what do I do with my life without you?"

And then there's Tangkwa mirroring all the insecurities of her boss, jumping to conclusions prematurely, also wrestling with so many hang-ups that you'd think trauma-bonding is what makes her and Wine work so well....

And Proud, oh dear reckless Proud! Girl, it hasn't dawned on you yet that great bed partners don't necessarily make great relationship partners, right? Do your feelings with Tangkwa have the same breadth and depth of what Lal feels for Wine? Or is it just convenient attachment that stems from nothing more than physical attraction?

Let's not talk about Korn. He's a disgusting blackmailer, among everything else that's despicable and vile. But then again, he's a necessary tool to move the females' stories forward.... Otherwise, everyone would be parked in a rut, or circling in dizzying orbs around the elephant-disguised-as-a-copier in the room: Should falling in love with a colleague be sufficient enough grounds to lose your job over?

Wine's "No" at the end was her admission that she cares for Lal - The Lal who takes care of a mother and a sibling, as much as she fondly cares for Wine.... The Wine who'd rather move elsewhere than risk Lal losing her job.

I'm glad we've still got episodes 9 and 10 to make sense of all this....

best thai gl ive watched in a while

I've never been super into thai gls. My first one was 23.5 which i thought was cute but mediocre at best and to be honest, I have yet to complete a thai gl (i always never watch the last episode; idk why) and i've watched a lot, ranging from pluto to love design.

Anyways! I only have good things to say about this show. This is coming from someone that doesn't keep up with gmmtv dramas or couples. I knew Jingjing from Whale store xoxo (which i never finished, sorry), and I was aware they were probably going to put her in a partnership, but I was assuming it was going to be with Piploy or something. But long story short, I did not know a thing about Janjingjing and had no idea what to expect but I decided to watch this after seeing clips on twitter and my expectations have been exceeded by miles so far!

The acting is spectacular. I'm not even exaggerating. After watching up to episode 3 (all that was out at that point), I watched Muteluv, which also starred Janjingjing and their characters were so different; it's like they are completely different people in EWB. From watching clips of them being themselves, Jan seems very similar to her character Lal, so maybe it's extra easy for her but if you compare her performance to her annoying ass character in Muteluv (no shade), it's like, wow... she's really good at acting. Jingjing's character Wine is so different from her real personality. and she portrays her so well that I genuinely forget that I'm watching a show with actresses and not, like, idk, reading a fictional story. Their chemistry is spectacular!

I think for a show based around office jobs, it's genuinely very good plot-wise, like they're making it as interesting as it could possibly be. No complaints there! Although it is a little sad how the side couple with Kapook and Ciize only get introduced when the show is already halfway done. Season two maybe...

And for the music, I love the opening! It's so catchy. At first I thought it was overstimulating, but it has grown on me and I listen to it throughout my day to keep my mood up lmao. My only pet peeve is that I am not a fan of when they play that song that goes "Kiss my cherry lips" whenever they make out like it's kind of fitting?? But also it does distract from the scene, like I would prefer if they just played slow romantic music like they normally do in gls.

Rewatch-wise, I have already done a rewatch. 👍 I really like this show and it genuinely makes me laugh

my goodness i'm so obsessed with janjingjing

honestly, this episode was really really fun. The chemistry, the acting and just EVERYTHING. I feel like this episode did a great job introducing the characters while also showing that there’s so much more to the story coming later on. That’s what really captivated me from the beginning. You’re always thinking, “wait, what’s going to happen next?” “wholikes who?” “willshe say yes tobeing friends with benefits”

and I can’t forget how funny this show is because janhae reallyit so well. she's literally THE comedy herself LOLL. she's just being herself, and i can’t help but laugh every time she’s on screen. I’m also so in awe of jingjing. sheportrays the strict, troubled character so well, and when she’s drunk ... omg , she actually nailed that scene. you can clearly tell the difference of when she’s drunk, that there's another side of her that showsand she just pulls it off

i already love this series so much, and I’m really excited for what's more to come. I keep rewatching it and noticing more details every time. I’d definitely say give it a few episodes because I really think it’ll be worth your time!

10/10 Romantic and funny

10/10 Romantic and funny
What a wonderful GL! It blends comedic humor perfectly, the actresses have such a natural lightness to their performances, the story is engaging and captivating from the very beginning, and I'm really looking forward to the next episodes. Lal and Wine are two completely different characters, yet they are drawn to each other, and each one always has something to teach the other. The actresses Jan and Jingjing are absolutely amazing in these roles.
Amazing chemistry of JanJingjing, they really portrayed the LalWine accurately to the novel. This series will heal my leemhaina wound. I love the novel so much as much as this series does and I can't wait for them to fall deeper in the hole they dug starting with the benefits. This is just the beginning but the tension is giving.
