Guys You are looking at the best GL in thai GL History
I honestly don't remember the last time I waited this eagerly for a series every single week. Ever since the teaser dropped , I knew I was going to watch it, but I never expected it to become something I'd spend the whole week thinking about. Every Sunday felt too far away, and now somehow we're already at episode 9 with only one left. I genuinely don't want it to end.For me, this is easily the best series of 2026.
The biggest reason is Jan and Jingjing. I don't even know how to explain their chemistry properly because saying "they have great chemistry" doesn't feel like enough. Every look, every argument, every quiet moment between Lal and Wine just works. It feels effortless, like they're completely comfortable with each other, and that made me believe every part of their relationship. There were scenes where I completely forgot I was watching actors, but they were just being themselves. they really love their job ( which is just kissing flirting and fooling around duh!! 😂😂😂
I also have to give credit to the rest of the cast. Kapook and Ciize were so much fun to watch, and I'm really happy with where their story went. Poor Medsai really ended up being the backburner this time though 😭. Still, every character felt like they had a purpose instead of just existing around the main couple. Jan male friend i liked him very much for giving her the support at the right time. Then there is Korn the formiddable villain.
What surprised me the most is that the show never relied on just romance. It made me laugh, stressed me out,cried my eyes out and then five minutes later had me smiling like an idiot. I kept telling myself, "Next week can't possibly top this," and somehow it usually did.
Maybe the finale will change some of my thoughts, but after nine episodes I honestly can't find anything that took away from my enjoyment. The acting, the music, the emotional scenes, even the little moments between the characters... everything just clicked for me.
I'm definitely going to miss waiting for Sundays. This series has been part of my weekly routine for the past months, and letting it go isn't going to be easy. I really hope Jan and JingJing get another project together because I don't think I'm ready to move on from them yet.

That's a great start for JanJingJing, got me in love with them, ngl
The pilot of EWB was a banger. It made me super happy we got JanJingJing as leads and very curious how they gonna pull of their first series.And maaaan, I am in awe how good of a watch it is.
I've watched dozens of Thai Gls till now but this is the very best rom-com (with elements of drama) I've ever seen.
First of all: the characters and acting.
How much I love all the characters is a true joy. From main to support and even every villain where written and acted so well.
I fell in love with Lal and Jan portraying her is a masterclass in comedic acting. The many falls of Lal will be a meme for me for a long time. I really liked LingLing's Wine too, she pulled the quite complicated character very well. Her chemistry with Jan is just firecrackers for me.
I'd like to see more screen time for KapookCiize (though moments they've got were really fun and sexy). The shorter series format is doing no favors for side couples.
And a round of applause from me for Ploypach and JJ for a great comedic duo of Numnim and Bas.
A special appreciation for Tae, actor playing Korn. Good job sir, I truly hate your guts;-P
I really loved the story set in an office work environment. Snap 25 brought up to life a mini-universe of Syntara with greatly detailed set pieces and did great research about office work. The script has so many smart moments and observations about office work and corporations, high quality writing indeed.
The romance of course sits mostly on JanJingJing's shoulders and it delivers, oh boy it delivers. The cute scene, the tender scenes, the love scenes, the drama scene, the comedy scenes - so many good beautiful moments that it will be soooo difficult to say goodbye to LalWine.
The OST and sound was great and the songs by Jan and JingJing will stay on playlist for a looong time. Sound editing and editing in general had some minor worse moments but all in all the production is top notch and is among the best in thai GLs, period.
The finale is still not out but I highly doubt it will change my mind very much. The series was so good that I'd be truly shocked if they'd f*uck anything really up at the end.
So for me it's my second 10/10 in my personal thai GLs ranking (the first was Us the series).
Edit: the finale did not disappoint me. Still 10/10

Found Something Inaccurate
In episode 2 when Wine falls while bowling but gets a strike, she should not have gotten any points because she stepped over the black line. Also the entire scene is not how bowling works. It should be five people on each team, not a whole team free-for-all. I found good use out of the bowling unit in my high school PE class, but I never expected it to help with a Thai GL series. Otherwise the show is great. It makes me want a work girlfriend, even though it can’t happen in the meantime since I will likely soon be a babysitter.Was this review helpful to you?
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!

GL romcom of the year
I love the novel so much and I appreciate how devoted it is to the novel. I can't wait for the scenes and conflict they have added in aside from the things in the novel cause I know this production is good for those scenes and I know JanJingjing will nail those. My favorite part is where they talk before they go home like a REAL talk outside of work.Was this review helpful to you?
10/10 Romantic and funny
10/10 Romantic and funnyWhat 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.

My final thoughts on Enemies with Benefits ❤️
Honestly… I don’t have much to say because this series was simply a joy from beginning to end.I already had a great feeling when Jane and JingJing were announced as the main pairing, and the trailer only confirmed it. In the end, the series even exceeded my expectations.
Jane and JingJing’s chemistry was amazing. The romantic scenes were sweet, the comedy genuinely made me laugh, and every episode left me excited for the next one. I never felt like the quality dropped. From the first episode to the finale, it was just pure enjoyment.
This is one of those GLs where I don’t even feel like looking for flaws or overanalyzing everything. I simply had a great time every single week, and sometimes that’s exactly what a series is supposed to do.
For me, it’s a true gem and one of the best GLs of the year. Its current rating is absolutely deserved.
Now all that’s left is to wait for the special episodes. I can’t wait! ❤️

Gl favorito do ano
Sem dúvidas o melhor Gl de 2026.A cada episódio q se passava vinha junto de um misto de emoções inexplicáveis, cada episódio finalizado foi deixado rastros de sentimentos profundos e entendimentos minuciosos sobre tudo o que é o amor e como ele se comporta em cada situação.
Personagens com personalidades cativantes e tão mais interessantes ao decorrer de toda a série, cada um com seu desenvolvimento impecável, principalmente das protagonistas.
Do pouco q eu disse, nem 1% é o suficiente para descrever tamanha saudade que eu vou sentir de cada episódio. Fez parte da minha rotina, moldou meu humor positivamente, fez me sentir nostalgia de algo não vivido.
Agradeço muito a todos que participaram dessa obra prima... foi uma dose de serotonina em tanto ter esse gl presente em minha vida

Não tem um único episódio ruim
Nenhum episódio dessa série é ruim, todos são perfeitos. Os mais fraquinhos são provavelmente os últimos, mas isso é um problema que se repete em todo GL desde que eles começaram a sair: As produtoras simplesmente não sabem como finalizar as histórias.O ultimo episódio podia ter sido melhor? Sim. Ele foi ruim? Não diria que foi, mas a gente merecia mais tempo de tela de LalWine isso sim. Já tá na hora de pararem de por conflitos aos 45min do segundo tempo, não precisamos ver mais conflitos. Nos deem fluffy por gentileza, o povo quer ver o CASAL SENDO FELIZ!!! POR FAVOR !!!
EWB é o exemplo perfeito de como fazer sucesso com um roteiro bem escrito e uma direção competente. Além claro de atrizes fenomenais. Antes mesmo de sair eu já sabia que essa serie seria hit, apostei tudo em EWB e não me arrependi, que serie incrível.
