⭐DUANG WITH YOU⭐ - The most beautiful masterpiece ever to exist!!
Duang with you is not just a normal drama, ITS THE DRAMA WHICH BRINGS YOU INTO THEIR WORLD!!🌟🌟 Duang is the most greenest flag💚.. I mean GREENEST UNIVERSE✅ that I have ever met❤️❤️.. Qin is the most diva-est person that I have ever seen since starting to watch Thai dramas/lakorns.❤️❤️ This drama isn't just something to me like I could ever forget.. It's the drama which healed me during my hard times. For those who didn't start watching this, you better should now or else you're missing a MASTERPIECE. It all started when I was watching Me And Thee (GMMTheeV) which made me laugh and have a good relaxing Saturday.. Until it ended, I was really lonely thinking I wouldn't have a joyful saturday anymore.. Then I just casually went to DMD channel since I've watched Khemjira Ton Ron and The Next Prince.. Guess what..! I saw Duang with you's trailer and I thought of watching it. OMG it was the most cutest trailer that I've ever seen so I had the thought of watching it. After the last episode (Ep-12), I started crying like I dumped someone I really loved meaning I cried for almost an hour.. Qin runnign to Duang was soo damn cute..😭😭 For those who have watched this, y'all can understand the pain we've been through ever since it has ended. Coming back to the drama, everything they potrayed in this, the actors, OST's, production and the script writing was perfection!!* I first thought that I should drop this since Duang was soo childish (in my pov), but then I thought it will be good so I kept watching and I'm sooo glad I did. Qin's trauma shown in this was really good, I even felt his pain on behalf. Duang being there for him at the very beginning shows that true love can take a while to come but after you get it, never ever lose it!! The NC scenes shown was really loving and affectionate that you can see it by their look of eyes. Only thing I'm sad about is Jamie and Marvis relationship. I know they started getting close but they should have a confirmation about them.. Oh yah about Jamie :: Jamie - Duang - Pae.. I really loved their friendship.. It's just soo nice to see them laugh and joke about all the time. But most of all how supportive they are.. Qin's band, Tong and Kim applies for the same. They have been supporting Duang to get him his diva. I ain't gonna type more since my hands hurt but I'll tell you all my favorite episode)✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
My favorite episode was the 6th episode since it showed their performance 'Not The Best But Still Good' (that is my favorite scene of the whole drama) and showcasing a little bit of Qin's trauma but then Duang continuing the performance was soo damn good. Him supporting his crush is soo sweet.. And their 1st kiss... Uff,, It killed me hard that I had to fall on my knees.. Anyways I'm so so so happy that I watched DWY otherwise I would be pouty like Duang.. Thank you so much, Duang with you for making my Saturdays enjoyable.. And a huge thanks to P'TEETEE, P'POR, P'NORTH, P'OTTO, P'WAVE P'THEE, P'HUGH for this drama a beautiful journey.. Once again, this is NOT JUST THE BEST,, BUT THE BEST-EST thing ever to watching. (I miss them sooo damn much😭😭, but I'm gonna go rewatch it byeee.) :) #duangqin #jamiemarvis #tongpae #kim #teeteepor #northotto #theewave #hugh (hehe lol)❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟❤️🌟

Overhyped...But The Chemistry of the ML kept me going
The series owes much of its success to the music, sharp editing, and incredible cast chemistry, particularly between the leads, TeeTee and Por. If it weren't for the perfect casting of Duang, the entire show could have fallen apart. While some might find his childlike voice and behavior a bit over the top at first, it definitely grows on you. The leads are incredibly cute together, and it’s easy to see why fans are obsessed with their onscreen dynamic.The plot itself is straightforward: a happy-go-lucky guy falls head over heels for a popular, highly unapproachable introvert and decides to pursue him. Once they officially become boyfriends, they navigate and overcome various obstacles together. While this trope isn't usually my cup of tea, it kept me hooked until about episode 8, where I started losing interest. Unfortunately, like many Thai BLs, once the main couple got together, the writers seemed to run out of ideas, and the remaining episodes felt mostly like filler.
Does this series really deserve a 9 like The Untamed? In my opinion, it's a firm no. I honestly think it lacks depth.

I'll rewatch this over and over again ❤️
I really love everything about this series ❤️ The story, the cast, the music, and just everything about it. It made me feel many emotions in a very positive way. It was the first time I felt very excited while I waited for new episodes. I'll definitely rewatch this series many times. ❤️❤️❤️🫶🫶🫶Was this review helpful to you?

A review from someone who ACTUALLY watched the whole thing
I don't really review lots of shows, especially not on this website. Duang with You is the sole reason for me making an account here in the first place and seeing reviews calling it 'shallow' is like a stab to the heart.First, I would like to acknowledge that yes, Duang can be cringe. And yes, sometimes I pause the EP to take a breath then rewind. But that doesn't mean he lacks common sense or is just there as an accessory for Qin. I have seen some people say that Duang is autistic and while I have no definite proof of that it is pretty dang obvious to me. So his mannerisms are understandable and endearing. That is how he is in the novel too so don't come for the actors.
Secondly, I saw a review saying Qin's trauma is 'rich kid trauma ' and that makes me so mad. So just cause he was born rich that means he isn't allowed to he hurt? That boy was abused! He had no one, not even his parents so of course he would be closed off and cold sometimes. If you actually watched the whole show and get to know him better you'll see just how much it affected him since EP1. Just how much Duang helped him till his confrontation with his parents. The way P'Kla directed the scene is so good it brings me to tears no matter how many times I watch it. It was realistic and that's what most of you can't seem to understand. Just cause you didn't experience a trauma doesn't give you the right to belittle it because there ARE people who have experienced the exact same thing.
Thirdly, I think ep12 was a well crafted ending. Marvis meeting the gang was definitely needed, what, with Jamie finally opening up about liking someone I think it was a good choice. Pae revealing himself as Cherry was also really funny and I don't know why you all found it surprising. Were you expecting them to take that secret to the grave? TongPae was never going to work since Theewave isn't an official pairing yet so the hate I'm seeing has got to be studied. Even though it was sad to see them go back to the novel, the ending was still satisfying.
Fourthly! I saw the same review asking why Duang fell in love with Qin and I sighed. It was established as love at first sight, both in the novel and in the series. People DO fall for others at first sight in real life so him falling for Qin is not far fetched. Also, I don't think Qin manipulated Duang in any way in any part of the series. The scene where he gave Duang 15 minutes was very him. He needed to know if Duang would stay, and after seeing his past experiences his fear was valid. Him asking Duang to return the camera was also very him. He knew if he let it slide once, it'll become a habit. I wouldn't want my partner to buy me a gift and then turn around and not have any money to eat. Qin is strict in his love for Duang and that is why they compliment each other so well.
Fifthly!!! (Idk if that's a real word) I haven't seen any reviews about NorthOtto's English YET but I will talk about it cause there was hate on social media about it. Yes, their English ate. No, it wasn't cringe. Unless you can fluently speak Thai with no accents then stfu and leave them alone. They tried their best and they devoured.
The themes addressed in the whole series are deep and carefully resolved. I love Duang with you, and if you're looking for something fluffy, heavy, funny and an emotional rollercoaster it is definitely for you. Don't listen to all these reviews from people who hardly watched half of it.
And yes, I can defend them in the comments. Unless you're a lost cause then I won't waste my time. And I can also yap about them too 🤗

It's like watching a BL for Tofus, Bland and Pale.
I am not getting they hype of this show. I tried to endure and hoped that there must be something new that this BL can offer, but I just got disappointed. I think we have reached to a point where there are too much BLs getting aired. There must be something in this show that hits the spot of the new generation of BL fans, but coming from someone who has been a fan since 2006, I have seen similar plots and twists for a BL. Nothing is refreshing. The comedic timing is awful and forced. Chemistry is lacking too. Main characters lack personality because there's not enough back to story. It was just a free flowing BL, light to watch, but not worth to rewatch.Music is good though.

Lot of cute sence r in uncut version hate it
This is not a new kind of story—it’s a very common BL setup: a grumpy boy and a funny, clingy boy. Just an ordinary drama.Duan and his friends are hilarious—they’re like the perfect example of “the blind leading the blind.” I even started thinking he might be Khun Thee’s son from Mee and Thee, especially because his way of expressing love is so awkward and funny.
And then there’s Chucky—oh God. His almost-love-confession scene was pure chaos. He walks in like he’s about to confess, but everything turns messy and he doesn’t even say it. I was literally thinking, “Is anyone really going to confess like this… as a ghost or what?” which made it even funnier. Since he’s basically like a creepy ghost dog character, the whole scene just feels even more ridiculous. That’s why he reminds me of Khun Thee—they both have that same chaotic energy with love confessions. It’s been a long time since a drama made me laugh this much—I really enjoyed this scene.
As for the acting, there’s not much to say—it’s pretty average and not really mind-blowing. But because the characters are well-developed, the acting doesn’t become a big problem, so it still works overall. Duan is really funny and genuinely feels like a puppy-type character. A lot of dramas try to create that “puppy” personality, but this is one of the first times it actually feels real. That said, sometimes his character goes a bit overboard and becomes too lame or overly chaotic, almost like he’s acting insane. If that was toned down, it would be much better. His acting is okay, but there are quite a few scenes with overacting, which I didn’t really like. Still, I’m not saying I dislike Duan—I actually really love him. It’s just that the character can feel a bit too much at times. Overall, the acting is decent, just average.
One more thing I noticed in this drama is that a lot of well-known main actors appear in small roles. I kept spotting familiar faces throughout, which was a nice surprise.
One thing I didn’t like is how they split scenes between the cut version and the uncut version. It feels unfair. A lot of the flirting and small important moments that we see in YouTube clips end up only in the uncut version. It makes the experience feel incomplete if you’re only watching the main release, because you already know there are extra parts you’re missing. It would’ve been better if everything important was included properly in one version instead of separating key scenes like that.

We have been told this story so many times, yet they were able to put their own twist on it
DisclaimerWhat I am writing here are my views and thoughts about this series. Some of you may not like it. That does not give you the right to try to come at me with your opinions on why this series should get a higher or lower score and why it is better/worse than I think it is. You have your own opinions, and I have mine. Kindly respect that.
This may seem like a typical Thai BL university story – a boy meets a boy and has a crush on him, the boy confesses to the boy, and both boys are thrown into a situation where they have to work closely together, where the boy who is being crushed on is now developing feelings for the next boy, and then things progress from there.
While this may seem to be the case, it is so far away from just that being the story. We are also introduced to Qinn's ordeal and what he had to face when he was younger, which shows us why he is the way he is and why his relationship with his parents is the way that it is. We are also introduced to Duang and his personality with how positive he is and that nothing can bring this down (a scene with him saying it's okay that the ship is sinking, he can swim and then proceeds to swim on his bed comes to mind to me). I will admit that there were parts where Dung was a bit annoying to me when he was acting like a puppy to Qinn (it got annoying at a point for me, personally).
It was also a plus to see Duang and Qinn when they interacted with their friends and how their friends were so positive with them and supporting them along the way, because sometimes you don't see that in series, so it was a plus here. I felt that this series was able to handle things well, and the progress of the two relationships here (the main and secondary couple) was handled well. I am going to miss Duang, Quinn and the gang and whatever shenanigans that they end up in every week.

A Perfect (Almost) Story Well Acted By A Perfect Ground Breaking BL Ship
This BL was fantastic and though it got a slow start it seemingly at first had a lot of similarities to Your Sky. TeeTee was very Teerak. Over The Top in all the good ways.Meanwhile Qin was very Muenfah the way people saw him. Straight Faced with unapproachable demeanor.
And that is where rhe similarities end because Muenfah already loved Teerak and he was softened just by the name Teerak and in his presence he was all smiles and lovey dovey.
Qin was damaged by a childhood that almost seemed parentless and it hardened him mostly because of the child abuse he faced and that's what took the perfectness out of this series. The abusive nanny or babysitter. I've seen this on other social media from some fans and I have to agree.
These parents, Qin's parents find out their child is being abused and they confront the babysitter and at first she's all apologies but then she turns demon nanny and they just kick her out more or less. No police no reporting her. Essentially allowing a woman like this to work with and abuse other children. That was selfish. Think about people that could know before hiring her that she has a record to prevent another child from what destroyed Qin's childhood.
The story was great and well acted and deserves all the accolades it is getting but that babysitter being let off the hook just didn't sit right me. Child Abuse in any form should not be excused or go unreported. Period

Beautifully dynamic series
Beautiful series. Sad moments, happy moments, conflict and conflict resolution. This show has all the feels and I’m so here for it. Duang learned how to be more emotionally mature and regulate his emotions and think more rationally from Qin not letting his emotions take over and make irrational decisions. While Qin learned how to have more emotional intelligence he learned to be more in touch with his feelings from Duang and how to lean on and put his trust in someone else and let people help him.Was this review helpful to you?
If you like lighthearted stories with cute couples and awesome chemistry, this one if for you!
I really enjoyed this one! Main leads relationship is soooo cute and they really feel like a couple. They were always kissing, hugging...their intimacy level was high. We had cute AND hot scenes of them and it didn’t feel forced at all, their chemistry is just natural. The main story is nothing new tho, just like any college rom-com, but I believe the couple can carry everything with their chemistry.Duang is sooo cute!! A little over the top, yes, and maybe you’ll find him annoying but it wasn’t my case. To me he was easily likeable. Teetee did a great job here because Duang has some really cringe scenes but it felt naturally with Teetee’s acting. He matched the character vibes perfectly. Qin is more reserved and introverted but he opens up more later and becomes a cute character as well. In general DuangQin couple the definition of a cat and dog relationship. I enjoyed Duang’s friends too, their friendship was really cute!
One thing I didn’t like that much was the secondary couple. I felt their dynamics was a little weird and they had potential to bring more to the table. They almost didn’t have screentime too and it looked like they were only there to fill the gap.
In general it’s a lighthearted drama with cute characters, awesome chemistry and very few problems to get in the way of the couple. When the couple gets together, they're REALLY together, and everything is resolved through dialogue. Definitely a good start for the year!
PS: I’m already excited for the next projects of TeeteePor couple! I’m seeing some clips of them on Twitter and they’re so lovely 😭

Love Beyond Walls: The Golden Retriever and the Closed Heart
Duang with You is a thoughtfully crafted series that maintains a strong sense of balance throughout its storytelling. The introduction of Duang and Qin is charming and lighthearted, but their subsequent interactions quickly shift in tone, adding emotional depth and complexity. Duang embodies the archetype of a warm and devoted partner, falling in love with Qin at first sight, while Qin is initially guarded, having built emotional walls to keep others at a distance. Through Duang’s persistence, those defenses gradually begin to soften, allowing for meaningful character development.The supporting characters, Jamie and Pae, play an engaging role in the background, subtly encouraging the progression of Duang and Qin’s relationship. Qin’s initially cold and distant behavior may feel frustrating at first, but as the narrative unfolds and his past is revealed, his reluctance to open up becomes more understandable and grounded in his experiences. But the resolution of Qin’s past could have been handled more effectively, as that part of the story felt somewhat rushed compared to the emotional buildup leading to it.
The contrast between the two leads is one of the show’s strongest elements. Duang is expressive, unapologetically affectionate, and unafraid to show his love, while Qin is emotionally restrained, socially distant, and protective of his vulnerability. This dynamic creates a compelling balance that drives the story forward.
While some viewers may find Duang overly energetic or occasionally irritating, I personally found his character very endearing. He reminded me of a friend I used to have in school. As for Qin, I have seen many people criticize or misunderstand his behavior, but I could relate to him to a certain extent. Balancing the desire to distance yourself emotionally while still maintaining friendships can be incredibly difficult. I still struggle with opening up and fully trusting people myself, which made Qin’s character feel particularly realistic to me. I appreciated Qin’s dynamic with his friends as it’s very similar to my friend’s group. They know him on a surface level, but there is still a deeper part of himself that he keeps hidden. That emotional distance, despite being surrounded by people who care about you, was depicted in a very authentic and relatable way.
One aspect I wish had been explored a bit more is Thiu’s role in the story. His initial persistence suggested a stronger emotional stake, which adds an interesting layer of tension. However, his arc feels like it wraps up too quickly, without fully exploring his emotional motivations or the weight of his involvement. I also would have liked to see a slightly more aggressive response from Duang during this period. While some may interpret Duang’s reactions as jealousy, they are more accurately rooted in fear, specifically the fear of losing Qin. But his restraint aligns with his character, as he consistently shows respect for Qin’s boundaries, even when it comes at the cost of his own feelings.
One of the most memorable scenes occurs when Qin finally begins to open up to Duang about his past, and Duang responds with a deeply heartfelt reassurance: “I don’t know if it’d work for you, but if your past memories hurt you, it’s time to let go of your younger self’s hands… and hold mine. I’ll take it from here”. The moment stands out for its emotional sincerity and marks a powerful turning point in their connection, capturing the essence of trust, healing, and emotional support that the series builds toward.
Overall, the series presents a cohesive and well-paced narrative that allows its events to unfold naturally. Combined with a strong soundtrack and visually appealing cinematography, Duang with You delivers a compelling and emotionally resonant viewing experience.

Duang With Every Cameo Ever
This exceeded my expectations once we got past the slight stalker/obsession vibes at the beginning. I thought we might have another 'Boy Next World' issue at first, but Duang's character grew on me and he definitely wasn't toxic like Cir's character was. We had so much angst, so much solid communication. We became better and stronger people by the end! I was all about it! Also there were so many cameos in this, I was living.Was this review helpful to you?
