amazing masterpiece series BL 2026
If you're still thinking whether to watch this drama or not... just watch it!!! Don't hesitate! This drama is truly amazing, trust me 🙏🏻.. First, I watched the official pilot episode and I was already interested in the storyline.. but after the edited trailer was released on YouTube, oh my gosh I was so excited!! DWY is a masterpiece that is suitable for entertainment because while watching I was very entertained by the behavior of Duang, Jamie, and Pae.. their friendship is really amazing and silly 😆, Then how the director portrayed the character development, I really liked it. Duang is a very nice guy. Even the OST is all good, like a musical drama 💕, details like the room design and the furniture I also like, even the basic manners of all the characters too, Duangqin makes the chemistry become a natural and adorable couple. The good rating for this drama is indeed deserved. Thank you to the director's efforts in making this series as good as possible, he also made the supporting actors with effort because the supporting actors are already well-known in the entertainment industry too.. so I enjoyed this seriesWas this review helpful to you?
I WILL REWATCH THIS MASTERPIECE AGAIN
I tend to not have high expectations when im watching light hearted shows. But this one really stick to me. It blown away even my highest one.I liked everything about this show: acting, pacing, storylines, cinematography, everything.
It's perfect example how college romances should be done. And casting was perfect.
Every single actor did great. I even read novel because i couldn't endure the wait between episodes. But i have to praise Por and Tete the most. They lived the characters. I couldn't imagine who except them would do characters justice as they did. I can't wait to see them in more projects. They deserve everything and beyond.

Omg omg ???
This is my first time writing a review about a movie and I feel like if I don't write a review about Duang With You I won't be happy with myself.🫣🫣Firstly the story over all is a ten out of ten🥰🥰.
It's been a while a movie has felt so perfect. The movie portrayed love to be so easy,sweet, without hardship and so wanting. Duang's approach from the beginning,his patience even when at some point he thought Qin was going to go back to his ex,and his unchanged character even till the end made me realize that love can be patient if you ever find the right one for you. Also Qin character development from been reluctant to finally giving in completely reflects how if we do meet right person who is patient we can open up to them completely for people who find it hard to give their heart out easily 🥰😘
Secondly Qin's reconciliation with his parents made me realize how many of us wants this kind of reconciliation but will never get it because our parents will never listen and even if they do listen will never feel that they're wrong since most forget that while we might be their children and they our parents we also have our own wills and desires that we hope they can help work with 😢😢
Thirdly the NC scene was so satisfying and thrilling🥰😶🌫️. I kept giggling ☺️☺️and blushing😊😊 as if I was with them live. The NC scene was neither overwhelming or too little just the right type of perfect 🫠🥰
Fourthly the ost music were so beautiful and timely😘😘. The songs were inserted in the right scenes and right time. Every music fit every scene perfectly and beautifully. Music so good I already have two osts download on my phone already 🤗🫣
Fifthly the castings and actings were perfect. I loved Pae,Kim and Tong. Jamie and Marvis really also hold a special place in my heart even though as at ep11 we still don't have a kiss scene from them😭😶🌫️
Lastly Duang With You is definitely going to be my comfort movie from hence forth and I don't know how many times I'll be rewatching it after watching the final episode today.
DMD PLS GIVE US A SPECIAL EPISODE 😭😭
Thank you so much DMD for this beautiful masterpiece and I'll continue to love all DMD actors and support them
JUST SAD TO SAY GOODBYE TO DUANG WITH YOU 😭😭

JUST A PURE GREEN FOREST VIBES AND SWEETNESS!!
This was a long journey!! It’s my first tbl after 3yrs of leaving it and I’m not disappointed at all,, at first i thought dwy to have a similar cringy thai youth drama vibe but OH MY!! Duang is a damn exception, cuz he be doing all the cringy stuffs but still look cute and makes you adore him!!!I LOVEEE how mature this drama is even after having a very casual plot line, every character really sticks with you till the end!
The story was one of the best I’ve ever watched!! It definitely is my TOP 1st in the list and will be always (until pttp comes with another banger keke)
And god duang is the most green forest character i’ve ever seen ughh!!! There is almost no misunderstanding and everything just feels very genuine!! Also i love how they have portrayed the qin character, it’s quite relatable to watch for me that i could understand every aspect of it!!
One thing i kinda wished that we would get a little more from second couple in story wise but it’s all sweet and i fully understand as northotto are very new to this…on that dmd have managed them very nicely for their respective roles (we want more of them in future too ><)
Now Teeteepor 🥹
They became part of my life in just few weeks!! It’s fascinating how I didn’t knew anything about them and now I’m here feeling so proud of them to achieve this big step on their acting career!! It shows how hard they have worked for this and the acting is very real and comforting!!! It was my
one of the best decision ever to watch this :3 TYSM DWY TEAM ❤️ (now we have to wait another 2yr 😭)

LITERALLY FIRST TIME TO PUT A REVIEW
I have been coming to this website for EVERYTHING! I have watched endless BLs, Thai, Japanese, Korean, Taiwanese, Chinese, American, UK.. WTV you want.. But I have been waiting for Pttp to have this main role show drop since they became a couple. I have absolutely 0 disappointing things to say. I wait all week counts days just to finally watch next episode! It’s fluffy, funny, heartwarming, and I find it a very “comforting” show. If you like goofy shows, I’m 100% promising a pleasant watching time:)Was this review helpful to you?

one of my favorite bls!
This is my first bl that i’ve finished and i don’t regret it! i love everything about the show and it’s so addictive i’ve been obsessed for months. it was funny and had great plot and character backstory and i genuinely felt every emotion the actors conveyed. por did an amazing job as qin. i was able to tell his emotions through the smallest changes in his body language and facial expressions for a character not very expressive. i honestly wish i could watch this again for the first time and im in love with the ost. i am upset at how little jamiemarvis we got and how quickly qin forgave his parents tho.Was this review helpful to you?
Love Duang's Way
Rating update TEN ... TEN All the Way!!!Well, I've proved myself wrong and missed these two so much, that I had to watch this drama again. YESSSSS.... when watching something a 2nd time, you see things that didn't see before & the good feelings have blossomed. TeeTeePo are the Perfect Pairing.
DUANG WITH YOU!
Qin's first time opening up to Duang... and I can understand that he doesn't like feeling his vulnerability for the first time when it comes to this new relationship.
Duang's character is a bit eccentric, it's a personality that can be either become annoying or cutesy. I don't know if there are young men out there that truly act like this, but it's something to think about 🤣.
The moment that Duang covered Qin's part to help him recover, was when Qins found his safety net in him. You can see the chemistry forming. Duang gently makes a path to be in Qin's heart, he understands that in his own eccentric way .. that he needs to allow Qin to find his way to him. With all the silliness that Duang had toward Qin.. it was apparent that Qin would sooner or later open his heart & trust Duang with his vulnerability.
Then came ........ the....... *Kiss* 🫣🥰. The song playing was perfect with the *First Kiss* oooooo.... goose bumps and a smile!!!!
And.... Qin ... 🫣Time to get busy 🫣.
Watching the relationship between Qin & Duang was subtle yet alluring within their world of embrace.
Until, a certain person enters back into Qin's world, it was a moment of holding your breath... especially when Duang suddenly saw a text come through.
Episode 7, from the middle to end... my heart was hugging Duang. Even though I was watching what was happening with Qin's past ... to see Duang trying to understand where he stands now in Qin's world.
This actor TeeTee is amazing in facial expressions to pull you into his heart. I definitely have to give him 10 stars. The pairing of these two was definitely ***Powerful*** shipping.
Qin is facing a path that will get rough, yet how strong is this relationship going to be with the Qin's past trying to bulldoze he's way back into his life?
Once Qin made himself clear about his feelings to Duang... I didn't cry (😭) Really 😉. Duang had his answer as the tears he held back flowed (I really didn't cry 🤭)
I really adore their relationship. Although Duang is a bit too much for me with his eccentric personality... it truly works for this drama, it fits. I didn't appreciate his quirkiness at first, because I just couldn't relate to a preadult or adult acting in such a manner. However, there was a reason the writer made Duang the way he is. With the personality of Qin ... and Duang... it fits perfectly for their ship. They are the colors in each other's life... nicely put dad 🥰
🥰🥳It's Official ... YAY!!!! 🥰🥳
***The expensive gift***, not being accepted & feeling hurt because of it. A value of the gift can be concerning but remember the emotional attachment when buying it.. has a more priceless meaning. It's not only to give happiness to the receiver but also brings that warmth of happiness to the one who gives it. Understanding the difference between can make or break a person's heart.
Yet, Qin also has a very solid point... gifting should really not be chosen by value... but felt with sincerity.
Duang is such a Velcro Love Puppy 🫂
What Qin went through as a child is heartbreaking. He never let go or came to terms with it.
Duang once again tugged at the heartstrings by saying "Let go of your younger self's hand & hold onto mine, I'll take it from here."
OMG... what a burst of warm bright light that Qin needed to come out of his childhood darkness. (The writer of this drama... knows how to find the perfect wording to pull at the heartstrings)
Duang is definitely the best character in this drama!!!
The music picked out for this drama ... perfect!
I would DEFINITELY watch this again, but it's definitely a drama I will remember & recommend.

Sweet and cute done absolutely right!
This show is a unicorn. It sparkles, it's unbelievably cute and absolutely one of a kind. This level of cuteness is usually 100% cringe to me. But the delivery from Teetee and Por is perfectly balanced. They complete each other. So although the story itself is not very substantial, there is a message here: You need a supportive and safe partner who, even if they don't understand you, will try anyway.Another take away is that communication can be very attractive indeed. The way Qi and Duang try to understand and know eachother is amazing.
And who expected that these cuties would be able to switch to hot and bothered is a millisecond ?
It was agony waiting for a new episode every week. And every episode made me so happy.
Absolutely a masterpiece in the college genre, and I'm putting it high in my re-watch list.

This The Best, Not Just Good!
It's no wonder the ratings are so high, considering the storyline is a lighthearted series about someone who falls in love at first sight and intends to pursue it until they find it. Once watched, it's addictive to the point where you can't stop. Even in episode 11, which is usually a sacred episode, here it's given a conflict about friendship and family not the couple. They're calm and peaceful from episode 1 to the end. Duang loves Qin, Qin loves Duang, the sound effects are addictive too!Was this review helpful to you?
thoughts on my 2nd bl and how it shows important plot
my duang ang qin! probably the best bl ive watched. its funny and i like the characters. qin's story is sad, i cried. i love that they don't cut off scenes and strip off the important ones because im used to kdrama opening up a plot and not going deeper and resolving it or the format is too common that its predictable whereas in this drama, it respected the book and adapted those scenes perfectly. its fresh for my kdrama programmed brain plot lol. the acting can be worked out. its a hit or miss. some of you hate fun. its not like this will be submitted to cannes or the academy lol. storywise, its so cute and too good to be true but i like to watch feel good series duuuhh. my friend recommended it to me and were watching together. i like that sex scenes are longer and a lot. topics and dialogues about being the top and bottom was refreshing as well because not all opens that up on movies or series. glad they adapted it from the book. MY DUANG AND QIN I WILL MISS THEM. i wish i can refresh my brain and watch it for the first time.Was this review helpful to you?

Fun fun fun if you don't think about it too deeply
peak enjoyment. rating purely on the joy factor. what this series sold was teeteepor and wowwowow did it sell the hell out of this couple. acting is very rough around the edges for everybody involved but at the same time, i don't think any other actor could've brough out the charm in duang like teetee did. read some of the novel, wow that was hot trash from the dumpster. canon duang was so fucking insufferable and icky. but onscreen duang love love love. qin is such a gorgeous gorgeous guy i'd fall for him and be weird af about it too duang. the plot is barely there but this is a campus couple flick, people expect too much. couples are cringe, duangqin are cringe bc theyre bringing real couple energy. when was the last time two men on screen actually look like they love each other i can't remember. but duangqin is literally that couple in the disney line all on top of each other. you hate them until you become them. for the other cast members, omg we need acting lessons boys. the duang gang bring enough comedy and charm for me to overlook their atrocious acting but omg i could not stand qin's friends. they barely added to the plot and they had no presence whatsoever. then i find out that they are models, that makes sense. p'bm you think you're slick for sliding in three of your kids into this series and thinking i won't notice. omg they stood out like a sore thumb. also like, pae just disappears randomly and it's never brought up again. like did all his scenes get cut,? don't add those parts in then what? i do wish i knew how they all became friends too bc why do they do so much for duang damn. jamiemarvis story was soooo nothingburger. i understand theyre a foil to the lover boy warrior contrast thing but they also brought nothinggg. i wanna say i wanted to see their story fleshed out more but i also did not enjoy them on my screen so. qin trauma was also resolved super hastily but yea that's to be expected from a fluff series that doesnt take itself too seriously. anyway plot was full of holes and the ship is sinking but omg ill sink with it what a fun ride thank you p'kla.Was this review helpful to you?
NOT THE BEST BUT STILL GOOD!!
I feel like the drama emphasize its title strongly—“Not the Best but Still Good”—because that phrase actually captures the heart of the story perfectly. It’s about two people with completely opposite strengths and flaws who somehow balance each other beautifully.Duang = a golden retriever character—over-the-top, cheerful, and always ready to give everything to the person he loves. But underneath that positivity, he struggles with insecurity and tends to overthink.
Qin, on the other hand, has that reserved “black cat” energy. He comes across as cold or even arrogant because he prefers to be alone and avoids dealing with people. But deep down, he has a soft side—especially for those he truly cares about. His guarded personality comes from past trauma.
What makes their relationship compelling is how different their upbringings are. Duang grew up surrounded by love and wants to share that warmth with Qin. Meanwhile, Qin is a lonely soul who craves love but hides behind his walls. Duang’s persistence and consistency slowly break those walls down, brick by brick.
What I Loved
1. Chemistry
The chemistry is absolutely sizzling. This is my first DMD drama, so I wasn’t familiar with the actors before, but TeeteePor’s chemistry is insane. The way they handle skinship feels incredibly natural—not forced or awkward. Compared to other BL dramas I’ve watched, this one stands out in how realistically it portrays a queer relationship. It feels genuine and lived-in.
2. Acting
It’s hard to believe this is TeeteePor’s first lead role—they feel like seasoned actors.
Teetee, especially, did an amazing job as Duang. That character could easily come off as cringey, but he made Duang lovable and charming. His emotional range is impressive—when he shifts from playful to serious, the contrast is striking. I’m really excited to see him take on more intense roles in the future.
Por also did a great job as Qin. That kind of character is tricky—if not done well, Qin could easily seem selfish or unlikable. But Por made sure we could see Qin’s vulnerability beneath the surface. His use of micro-expressions was especially strong—you can understand Qin’s emotions even when he says nothing. That’s not easy to pull off, but he handled it well.
There’s always room for improvement, but honestly, I don’t have major complaints about their performances.
3. Music / OST
DMD really went all out with the OST—14 songs and covers is wild. And the best part? They’re actually good. I’ve been replaying them constantly. The music really adds to the emotional impact of the series.
What I Didn’t Like
1. JammieMarvis
Their relationship feels underdeveloped. It comes across more like filler than a meaningful subplot. There’s little to no progression, and even by the end, their dynamic is unclear. The chemistry is inconsistent—sometimes it works, sometimes it feels awkward. I don’t think it’s the actors’ fault; it seems more like an issue with direction and writing.
2. TongPae & JammiePae
I understand why TongPae got attention—it had potential if the production had leaned into it more. But it seems like they didn’t anticipate how much fans would like that pairing, so it ended up with an open-ended, platonic conclusion.
Interestingly, I felt more chemistry between JammiePae than JammieMarvis. Even though it’s clearly meant to stay platonic, their dynamic felt more natural and engaging.
After being away from the BL fandom for so long, I didn’t expect to get pulled back in—but this series did exactly that. Duang With You and TeeteePor really brought me back.
You can tell the production team put a lot of heart into this project, and it shows. The story resonates, the emotions feel genuine, and the ending feels complete—even without a special episode.
That said, if we do get one, I definitely won’t complain.
Rating: 11/10
This drama left me with such a warm, wholesome feeling—it’s easily one of my favorite BL series now.
