this is hilarious!
i was quite hesitant about watching this, since the poster seems pretty unimpressive, and the ratings at the moment (7.2) aren't the best either. but i decided to give it a shot, considering this is a very short commitment. I was pleasantly surprised by how much I ended up enjoying this!the plot doesn't feel rushed or incomplete even though the episodes are incredibly short. the production quality and cinematography is amazing.
and the best part about this is the actors! the way the actors did a complete 180 once their bodies swapped, acting exactly like their counterparts are supposed to act, absolutely incredible!
I'd say you should give it a watch it you're looking for something short and funny to watchš

the story was a mess. just when it almost got better, they ruined it even more with a bunch more nonsense.
the characters were so poorly written. they were so shallow and had zero depth, I couldnāt feel any connection to single character.
Phumjai was SUCH A poorly written character. I understand he is supposed to be silly and childish, but tbh he behaves like a 10 year old. and his obsession with Tammy feels a bit too ridiculous š„² i was cringing pretty much every time he was on the screen, which is sad because i really like Offroadš
Phojaiās constant fear of āwhat if people find out about our relationshipā for no apparent reason is so infuriating.
(no, āPhumjai is going through a lotā is NOT a good reason to keep hiding their relationship, especially when itās obvious how much this is hurting Ohm). I lost it when he rejected the necklace saying people are gonna find out if they wear a coupleās necklace. like???? aint nobody checking under your clothes to see what necklace your wearing ššagain, this makes me sad , because i like Ngernš„²
the last two episodes were a whole another level of shitshow. what even was the point of all that?!?
overall, this was a complete waste of time. I watched it for DaouOffroad, but even they couldnāt save this for meš„²

a lot of people might find it boring or uninteresting. but for me it was just such a comforting thing to watch. the story was so simple, but so relatable. the aesthetics and the cinematography were so soothing to watch. I fell in love with the house, and the people living in it!
I will miss Azuma and Kujiš„¹š

had the potential to be so much more!
this has to be one of the most beautiful locations and cinematographies I've ever seen in any drama!unfortunately, the plot felt pretty disappointing. it felt very rushed and disconnected. we know very little about the character, so it's hard to feel connected to them. i really wish they made it clear how much time has passed so that we could actually understand how they fell in love. it felt like they met each other one day, and the next day they were somehow head over heels in love. the "conflict" felt pretty nonsense to me.
the actors did a pretty good job, despite the limited scope. both of them are very good looking. especially Wang Chen Rui, he is so damn handsomeš© and such a good actor too! i would love to see him in full length BLs!
the only reason why I'm not giving this a lower rating is, considering the duration of this entire show is less than an hour, overall it was still enjoyable for me because of the cinematography and the actors!

GIVE ME ANOTHER SEASON!!
THIS WAS SO GOOD!the story of a university nerd and a gangster falling in love with each other in the 1980ās lawless Hong Kong . pretty simple, but executed so beautifully.
the acting of both main leads was so good. and THE CHEMISTRY was INSANE! not to mention how incredibly good looking they both areš„¹
i love how it breaks the sterotypes about the coupleās dynamics, and the cutie nerd is the one dominating the gangster here š
the cinematography was amazing! i loved seeing the 1980ās Hong Kong setting. and the color grading was so beautiful š„¹ the osts were so beautiful too. I fell in love with the drama from the opening song alone! and then i found out that the actor Yan Zhao sang jt himself?? that made me love him and the song even moreš„¹
the only thing I didnāt like was the dubbing. the super fake noises and out of sync dialogues was pretty off putting to me. but I understand that they had their limitations, and werenāt able to provide the best dubbing.
that ending thoughā¦THEY BETTER GIVE US A SEASON 2 šš

this was so cute! this was my first time watching any of these actors (Iām very new to Thai BL)
I liked both couples, but this made me become a fan of SurfJavaš„¹
Jinn and Jerome were adorable. Van was a gigantic POSš I almost didnāt want Farm to forgive him after all the pain he put him through š„² but thankfully, he learned from his mistakes and had a good redemption arc.
I hope SurfJava get to do more projects together, because their chemistry is amazing!

this is not the type of drama I usually enjoy watching. but I decided to give it a shot right after finishing ThamePo, mainly because i wanted to see more of WilliamEst.
(Iām very new to Thai BL, only started watching a few days ago!)
I also wanted to see Perth and Santa, as Iāve known of them since before i knew anything about Thai BLs. so i wanted to see what they're actually like. even though this drama doesn't have much of them.
Iām not a fan of over the top borderline cringe kinda comedy. which, tbh, me and thee isš the first episode was kind of unbearable, not gonna lie. the stupid sound effects made me cringe so hard, I almost wanted to drop the drama then and there š but i decided to watch at least one more episode and give it a real chance.
slowly i was somehow dragged into the world of Khun Theeš somehow they left me entertained, and i ended up laughing out loud a few times at the utter ridiculousness everything š

what if you wished upon a shooting star?
ever thought about what would happen if you made a wish upon a shooting star, and it actually came true?i found the entire concept of wishing upon a shooting star and having it come true very intriguing. the fact that he wished for it, and it really came true, and now itās making him realize that it was a mistake to wish for something like that. i love the underlying message : be careful what you wish for!
the cinematography is so mesmerizing. all the blue everywhere just makes me feel so warmš the island and its people are just so lovable. they are like one big family!
the actors are doing an amazing job. especially the one playing Zhongxing. and the actors playing their younger selves?? they are so good omg! i love that they actually casted teenagers to play those roles, instead of making the same actors play their younger selves pretending to be high schoolers.
the main couple have so much chemistry! we could feel all the love and regret, and their years of unresolved feelings. the scene of them getting together was so beautifully done. the lighting, the cinematography, the absolutely beautiful ost in the backgroundā¦everything was just so beautiful. it has to be one of the bests Iāve ever seen in a BL!
the second couple is also amazing! I often find second couples annoying or unnecessary, but here I loved them just as much as the first couple. although Iām not a fan of āIām clearly in love with you, but Iāll keep denying that no matter how much you try to win me overā trope initially , they really won my heart afterwards. i also just found out that the actor playing Hama is half Japanese! that makes me appreciate this cast even more ^_^
I have to mention the actors playing their younger selves once again. despite being so young, they were so good! they had such amazing chemistry as well. I would love to see them together in a BL when they grow olderš„¹
I was watching this drama every week while it was ongoing. watching it end made me somewhat emotional, i kinda grew attached to the beautiful island and its amazing peopleš„¹š
overall this was just so beautiful and soothing to watch. one of my most fav bls of this year so far!

adorable slice of life!
I know thereās only one episode out and there isnāt much that I could say, but Iām loving it so far!this is my first time seeing Almond and Progress (Iām very new to Thai BL!), so I donāt really have any bias towards or against any of them. Iām mainly here for the vibes!
I love slice of life dramas! I loved how ep1 was so youthful and full of life. and the entire small seaside town was so pretty. the cinematography was absolutely beautiful! absolutely loved the late 1990s-early 2000s (i think?) nostalgic vibes they were going for. the color grading was so warm and soothing. definitely fitting the time and era theyāre based inš§”
all 5 characters introduced so far were adorable! both Koās were so loveable. Almond pulls off the black cat energy really well. and Progress is so damn cute omg! I havenāt seen his acting before, but I thought heās a pretty good actor. whatever overacting is or will be involved, I will blame it on the directing lmao. Augar and August are so funny, love how theyāre always wearing matching clothes š itās sad that we didnāt get to see much of Achi in this episode.
I have my reservations with this director. Iāve had issues with most of the works Iāve seen from him so far. I really hope the direction stays consistent and doesnāt take a very cringey turn!
so far, Iām really liking this. will be looking forward to see where this is headed!

IāM HOOKED!
an investigator whoās the son of a murderer meets a prosecutor whoās an absolute psychopath? IāM SEATED!this is probably my second time seeing Korea doing a crime-thriller BL (first one being The Lie We Lived In, just finished airing today, the same day The Prosecutorās Proposal started airing!)
Iām always a sucker for crime dramas when itās done right. and this one seems to be doing a great job at it so far! the production quality, the acting, everything makes it seem like Iām watching a whole a$$ kdrama and not a BL! Korean bl has stepped up their game, and Iām so here for itš„³
this is the story of Lee Chaeha - a newly appointed lower grade investigator, and Ju Taeseon - an infamous highly righteous higher graded prosecutor. Chaeha lived most of his life bearing the āmurdererās sonā tag. Taeseon spent most of his life hating murderers, and finding every possible way to punish them.
now, as a prosecutor, Chaeha has immense respect for Taeseon and his work. meanwhile, Taeseon feels nothing but hatred for Chaeha - the son of a murderer.
I had high expectations from the moment they first dropped the trailer for this drama. and then I found out this is directed by the same director as Secret Relationships, my expectations grew even higher. and after the first two episodes, they did not disappoint!
the cinematography is absolutely stunning. the storytelling is full of suspense, keeping us on the edge of our seats. both main leads are doing a phenomenal job. especially Ju Taeseon. bro made me convinced that heās a psychopath š and the chemistry between them is absolute fire!
the first two episodes have me absolutely hooked. I canāt wait to see how this unfolds!
my only complaint is, WHY SO SHORTš we needed AT LEAST half an hr episodes of this amazingnessš„¹

I've been meaning to watch this for so long because i could tell it's gonna be a heavy watch. I finally gave it a watch. and I LOVED IT, just as i expected!
this was just raw and so realistic, it made me feel sooo many emotions. it is one of the very few dramas that left a huge impression on me, and i will remember it even years after.
the plot was amazing. they showed us things we don't usually see in other queer media, incolved topics/themes that we don't usually hear being mentioned in BLs. the cinematography was beautiful! and the acting...everyone did such an amazing jobš
Nam Yoon Su is an INCREDIBLE actor! I hope we can see him in more BLs/mainstream kdramasš„¹

there was not much to the story, and it was pretty forgettable.
my favorite part about this was Yoo Jinseok. he's a great actor, and incredibly handsome! he carried the entire drama tbh.
the younger character was extremely annoying. there's a difference between being persistent and being borderline harassing. he consistently kept crossing the boundaries no matter how many times he was warned.
I also think they should've cast a different actor in that role. Lee Chang In did not suit the role of a high schooler/freshman in university. him acting cute and coy pretending to be a high schooler was borderline cringe ngl.

I personally loved season 2 so much better than the first one. I really liked the format where they separated the arcs entirely, makes it so much easier to focus on one couple alone, also easier for anyone to skip an arc if they didnāt like it. the direction was so much better too (at least for me!), it almost felt like i was watching a whole different show!
I think the thing i love about the most in this show is the friendship. both group of friends are just love or die, and theyāre ready to do anything to help or protect their friends! this kind of friendship is just so precious š
my favorite character so far is undoubtedly North! his comedic timing is absolutely genius lmao. he made me LOL pretty much every time he was on screenš this was my first time seeing Bas, and Iāve become a fan! heās such an incredible actor š„¹
and then we have the couples!
FahPhoon were absolutely adorable. when I started watching season 2 right after finishing the first season, I was like āooh yes I think this is my most favorite couple so far!ā. it started off so angsty, and my heart broke for all the trauma Typhoon went through. but then slowly it started getting so sweet, i almost got diabetes! the entire gift and letter exchange without revealing the identity was so cuteš„¹
and then we had ArthitDao! i love how unconventional their story was. I was expecting it to be a bit more dark given the supernatural elements , but somehow it was more on the lighter comedic side.
the story of Arthit looking for his motherās soul hit a bit close to home! as a person who lost her mother to cancer when i was just a baby, I could really relate to it. that part of the story broke my heartš
Dao is so freaking cute omgš„¹ i wanna protect him from all the ghosts in the world! I am not a fan of the forced kisses, but I appreciate Arthitās sincerity and the love he had for Dao. and their chemistry HOLY SHITTTTš no wonder they became the most favorite couple for so many people!
Iām kinda sad that we didnāt get any TigerNao in this season, but I appreciated all the TigerNao crumbs we got in the first season. itās kinda sad that we wonāt get to see the rest of the crew in the final arc:( but Iām very excited to dive into their story! itās probably gonna be hard to live up to the hype after ArthitNaoās amazing arc. I hope it can live up to the hype and gives us something just as amazing š

feels just like summer ā”
this is the story of Natsuki - a free spirited high school student. he's also not the most attentive when it comes to academics. when his parents find out about his abysmal grades, his sister decides to send her boyfriend Souta to tutor him.the first episode was so cute!
both leads are incredibly handsome! especially the actor playing Souta - Hidaka is sooo pretty! i couldn't take my eyes off of him the whole timeš„¹
the cinematography is absolutely stunning! as it often is with most Japanese bls š the cool summer tones and the beautiful blue skies are so soothing to watch. they have the perfect summer vibes!
Natsuki's family is so warm and lovable. their adorable samoyed pet dog Rock, a huge ball of fluff, is bound to bring a smile to anyone's face!
so far, I really liked the first episode š„° excited to see how it goesš
fun fact : natsuki (å¤č¼) in Japanese means "summer radiance/glow" āØļø
that really adds up to the theme of this drama š„¹

You're My Cup Of Tee!
I don't really write reviews here, but this drama really made me wanna write one!Let me start off by saying that I don't even watch Thai BLs. I only started watching DWY a few days ago, and this is literally my first time watching a thai bl. So, my thoughts are as unbiased as it gets.
Long story short :
A few days ago I randomly decided to watch a thai bl drama, and now my whole brain chemistry has been altered. The couple now have me on a chokehold, and this drama has become one of my most favorite dramas ever (BL or non BLs alike)!!
Long story long :
I've been seeing the poster of this drama on the homepage of the website I usually watch my dramas at. After ep10 came out and I saw it pop up on my feed again, I got curious about it and decided to look it up. Once I did, I was very surprised at how high the ratings were. It made me wonder if this drama really is something deserving of such high ratings, or if this is just some overrated drama rated by crazy fanatics. (no offenseš)
So I decided to give it a shot and see what the hype is all about. FYI, until that moment I knew NOTHING about this drama, or any other thai bls whatsoever. The only thing I knew was the name. I knew nothing about the actors, never saw any clips or anything. I was entering with a very blank slate.
I started watching with pretty low expectations. In fact, I didn't even think I would like this, because this wasn't really my cup of tea. As I was watching the first episode, I kept thinking how this is reallyyyy not my cup of tea. Duang's overly cute acting, the sound effects, etc was pretty much borderline cringe to me. But I wanted to watch at least 1-2 episodes before I decide whether or not I wanna continue or drop it.
I tried to tune out the cringe factors tried my best to focus on the drama. Once I was able to get over the initial cringing, I was sucked into duangqin's universe pretty fast. Next thing I know, I had already finished binging all 10 episodes!
And then I was losing my mind for ep11, which was still 3-4 days away. The wait was KILLLING MEEE!! Over the few days I kept replaying my favorite scenes, trying to keep myself sane. I swear I have not been this desperate for a drama episode in YEARS!! I don't even remember the last time a drama made me feel THIS desperate (and I've been watching them for almost a decade now).
So, that should tell you how much of a hold this drama had on meš
Now let me talk about the drama itself. The story is honestly nothing exceptional. Just a regular campus romance, golden retriver vs cold guy. But what makes it exceptional is the execution.
What made it really work for me was the chemistry. They have one of the best chemistries I've ever seen, BL or hetero couples alike!! I could feel the love they have for each other from just how they look at each other. Every hug, every kiss, made me blush and giggle like a middle school girlš seriously, kudos to TeeTee and Por for giving us such insane chemistry!
Duang is the puppiest of all puppies. Qin is the tsundere-est of all tsunderes. Together they're one of the healthiest couples I've ever seen. No unnecessary drama or misunderstandings, no toxicity, just love and fluff all over.
The characters, especially Duang, is so lovable. He is literally one of the greenest flags I've ever seen. The way he relentlessly keeps trying to win Qin's heart without ever breaking any boundaries is so endering. Even after they start dating, he never does anything until he is permitted. Why is he so precious? š„¹
While Qin not agreeing to date until much later may seem frustrating at first, we can see why he took his time. He is still a baby who's been starving for some love since he was young. He is scared of getting his heart broken once again. But once he finally did open his heart to Duang, we could see just how equally adorable he is and how much he loves Duang too.
The acting, especially TeeTee's, is honestly so impressive. It couldn't have been easy for him to act like this overly excited puppy 90% of the times. But he pulled it off so well. And the way he can pull off serious scenes equally well. His versatility really amazes me! On the other hand, Por does an amazing job at acting like a tsundere. I d1e every time he acts shy ;_;
Now, the music. Every single song is so beautiful, and they really make the drama even better. I didn't even know that they sang some of the OSTs themselves!! I only found out that they're idols after watching the 11th episode asgsghshd. This just made me love them even moreš„¹
Ok seems like my "review" (more like my essay on how I fell in love with DWY and TeeTeePor) is already 5 million miles long. Let me wrap this up.
In case it wasn't obvious already, I have fallen head over heels in love with Duang With You!! No other drama has made me feel this good in a really long time. I don't usually rewatch dramas, but this really has become my comfort drama and I will probably be rewatching this every now and then.
Ok I will stop now, for real. If you've read this far into my long ass review, thank you so muchš„¹
PS. I initially gave this a 9.0, but then I decided to make it 9.5 instead!
I should say that I have kind of a high standard. Out of the 350+ dramas I've watched so far, I've only given 10/10 to 3 dramas, and 9.5/10 to 7 of them. That should say just how much I loved Duang With You!
PPS. Please don't attack me for anything I just said š this is just me sharing my thoughts, and you don't have to agree with everything I said.
