Not The Best, But Still Good
I’m honestly shocked that a series I love this much has a 9.1 rating kwhsjs. Not everyone may connect with it, but for me, it's everything.
I found Duang With You on the exact day it was released. I randomly came across with it, then found its pilot and got captivated from the very first scene. Still, I didn’t expect much at the time since it was just a pilot.
But when the first episode dropped, I was surprised by how much I loved it. Watching felt like I was living through their moments. I got completely hooked. I waited for it every week at the same time, and with each new episode, I was pulled in even deeper. I’ve never connected with a series like this before. A 1hr. episode would take me 4–8 hours to finish because I kept pausing, rewatching, and writing down my thoughts and interpretations. I just wanted to absorb everything.
The series also added a lot of content that wasn’t in the novel, which gave more depth and drama to the story. Some moments felt especially real because of how immersed the actors were, like in Episode 6, where Duang wasn’t even supposed to cry, but the emotion just came out naturally. Also rushed scenes (?), like the NC scene in Episode 12, which I believe was improvised, but was still delivered well.
I could honestly say so much more, but I’ll stop here. I’m really happy that this series and the actors getting the recognition they deserve, though I can’t help but feel a bit nervous about possible negativity. Hopefully, it continues to be appreciated for what it is.
