Nice concept but went downhill at the middle
Okay, babes, let’s get into Every You Every Me. When I tell you I went in expecting a hot mess but came out with… a lukewarm one? I mean, it had its moments, but also, WHAT was the pacing? Like, I was buckled in for a slow burn, and the series was out here speeding like it’s late for class. Then I found out each episode had a different story, and I was like, “Okay, werk, anthology queen!” But no. They just HAD to throw in double episodes that dragged harder than my mom at family reunions. Anyway, let’s talk, because I am both entertained and annoyed.
---
Episode 1: Soulmates? Slaymates.
First episode dropped the whole “You’re my soulmate, we’re meant to be” spiel, and I was kinda living for it. Simple, clean, cute. Nothing groundbreaking, but hey, sometimes we just want BL comfort food, y’know? It was giving “Pinterest inspo but make it gay.” I was like, “Okay, first episode slaps. Maybe I’ll stan. Maybe this series is about to change my life. Maybe pigs will fly.”
---
Episode 2: Boss Daddy Energy
Whew, the boss x secretary trope was TROPPING, y’all. The tension? Immaculate. I kept squinting at the screen like, “Is he the top? Wait, no, he’s gotta be the bottom. Or maybe switch energy? Girl, the suspense is KILLING ME.” But they kept it natural, no awkward slow-mo stares or cheesy zoom-ins. Like, for once, they’re acting like normal people with feelings. Oh, and the chemistry? Chefs kiss. I didn’t even cringe once, which is saying something.
---
Episodes 3 & 4: Bring the Pain, Cowards.
Okay, now THIS had potential. Namping’s dying, right? Sad vibes. But they gave us NOTHING to work with. Like, what’s he dying of? Seasonal allergies? A tragic paper cut? Gimme DETAILS. And don’t even get me started on the lack of angst. I wanted messy hospital scenes, dramatic crying, maybe even someone yelling “You can’t die on me!” in the rain. Instead, we got, “Oh, he’s sick. Anyway…” I was screaming at my screen like, “HELLO? MAKE ME SOB, YOU COWARDS.”
---
Episodes 5 & 6: Enemies to Lovers, But Make It Basic.
First of all, Shun is the top, and my brain short-circuited because I was SO sure he was the bottom. Like, when the sex scene hit, I literally paused and said out loud, “Noted. Got it. Moving on.” Anyway, it’s your classic enemies-to-lovers trope: they bicker, they bang, someone dies (again, seriously?), and then Shin stops making music because trauma, I guess. But then Blue inspires him to get back into it, and I’m sitting here like, “Okay, cute, but WHERE is the originality?” I was BEGGING for Blue to do something messy, like plagiarize Shin’s song or spill his coffee. Just give me SOMETHING to spice it up.
Oh, and the sex scene? Cute but not life-changing. It’s giving “PG-13 with a sprinkle of R.” Steamy, sure, but not “lemme rewind that real quick” steamy.
---
Episodes 7 & 8: Why Are We Backtracking?
So now we’re watching Roi Inn and Phun, two actors who fell in love while filming the previous episodes. The breakup scene? Mature AF. Like, I was snapping my fingers and going, “YES, adults handling emotions like adults!” But then, outta nowhere, they’re back together because apparently they “can’t move on.” I was like, “Girl, you just had your big dramatic breakup moment, and now you’re crawling back? PICK A STRUGGLE.”
Also, why couldn’t they lean into the reincarnation vibes? Imagine them realizing they’ve been soulmates in every timeline, and their love is destined or cursed or something. Missed opportunity, TBH.
---
The Acting? ATE. Now let’s talk about Top and Mick because these two carried the entire show on their BACKS. Top is out here serving duality like a pro—soft boy one minute, daddy the next. And Mick? Okay, at first, I thought his face looked constipated, but by Episode 5, I was ready to risk it all. Also, why does Mick look like Up from Lovely Writer? Is that intentional? Did they clone him? Either way, Mick’s hotter, don’t @ me.
---
Final Thoughts: A Mixed Bag of Cute and Chaos.
So yeah, Every You Every Me started strong, but by the end, it was giving “meh, but make it gay.” The actors ATE, the director… did not. Would I rewatch? Absolutely not. Would I watch a behind-the-scenes documentary of Mick and Top flirting IRL? In a heartbeat.
Final score: 8/10 for the actors, 2/10 for the wasted potential, and 10/10 for the sheer amount of thirst tweets I wrote while watching this. Thank you, next.
