Xu Kai is no longer an idol drama actor

If you like Xu Kai as a romantic drama actor and only likes lovey dovey lemon squeezy stuff for example Falling Into Your Smile then this drama is not for you. But if you like the idea of a man doing anything for his love. Anything to keep her alive, then you must watch this. There is a hint of ‘Mr and Mrs Smith’ or what’s that Hollywood movie with Nicolas Cage where his character and the girlfriend were both crooks - it’s a car related drama - but in a good way. Or like fast and furious 😆
Plot, Story build up, Acting, Pacing, Screen Time, Cinematography, Costume everything is so on point. If anyone finds a fault with this then it can’t be helped. I guess not everyone can be pleased 💯

Duang With You is one of the most beautiful shows I've ever watched! The story, the production, the actings, the cinematography, everything was beautifully delivered and directed; the cast, everyone was so well chosen, they delivered so well and brought to life their characters in the greatest way possible and DuangQin were portrayed in the most natural and beautiful way ever. Even if the overall story and relationship of Duang and Qin is described as 'Not The Best But Still Good', an ordinary love that grew special because of each other, all those said things made this series far from just ordinary. This series has showed and taught a lot of things, just from the love story of DuangQin but also the friendships and bonds shown in it. Duang With You is totally a series you would rewatch again, and again, for multiples times, and even over the years! For anyone watching it for the first time, enjoy!

I was hooked from the first episode

I will never stop praising JuniorMark's acting. Everyone should watch and learn how a couple should look and treat each other. There's more to portraying a couple than holding hands, kissing, and calling it a day. Their performance made me truly feel their love for each other and took me through a lot of emotions in such a natural way. Mark didn't even need to speak to make me burst into tears. They did such good work they made me ignore the bad script, but whatever. I would say this has become the best work I've seen from them so far.

And of course I don't want to leave OhmPoon out because they were just as important and protagonists in this series. I started watching this show because of JM but thanks to that I got to know them, their first time working together as a pair, and I was really surprised by how good their chemistry was. There were scenes where it was simply impossible not to laugh; they were like the spark of the series.

wdym no more Duang with you ?

when I say these roles suited teetee and por to a tea I mean it. I was in love with there chemistry and was always looking forward to each new episodes with them. the way they really brought these roles to Iife made me so happy! and I wanna say por can sing like an angel omg! like his vocals are soo soo good like he is such an amazing singer and I’m glad this role was able to highlight that for him! the way teetee was able to make Duang just enough funny and cute to not make it cringy is truly a talent! and the way he was able to flip between Duang being all cute and funny to serious and flirty was just amazing. north and wave did really well portraying there charters as well. the friendship they showed was amazing and like I really love Duang and them as a friend group like those are the types of friends you would have fo life and I truly loved there dynamic. when Otto came on screen as Marvis he brung it. like omg he ate. like I might be a bit bias but I love Otto so much and like he is truly stunning. tbh I’m so sad we didn’t see more of north and Otto but from we got I loved it. I loved each and every one of the characters in this and they all did so well making there characters come to life on screen and I’m so proud of them. I truly can’t wait to see all of them in any and all future projects! I will miss waiting for new episodes on Saturday as that would be the highlight of my Saturdays. imma miss this show soo much🥲🥲🤍🤍

Burnout Syndrome is incredibly well-balanced and thoughtfully executed

I loved the story — it feels fresh and genuinely unique.

The acting was superb. Every actor delivered a powerful performance, and you can really feel the intensity in each scene. It’s sexy, dangerous, and smart all at the same time.

You can tell the production knew exactly where to invest their budget, and it paid off. The direction especially stands out — everything feels intentional and well-crafted.

Standing ovation to the cast, the director, and everyone who made this possible.

So far, this is the best series I’ve seen this year.

Love, lies, and everything in between

Such an entertaining watch, a mix of charm, tension, and emotional moments that kept me engaged throughout. I really liked how the story plays with trust and deception without losing its romantic core, constantly blurring the line between what’s real and what isn’t. The dynamic between the leads works really well, that push and pull kept me invested the whole time. And honestly, JuniorMark never disappoints, I loved them here. Junior’s acting especially stood out to me, he made everything feel more believable and pulled me into the story even more. It’s not perfect and some parts could have been explored more, but overall it’s a really enjoyable drama that knows how to keep you hooked.

Dare You to Death felt a bit too cliché for me.

Dare You to Death felt a bit too cliché for me. The story didn’t really bring anything new, and the action scenes often left me with a “that’s it?” feeling.

It also seems like the budget may have affected the overall execution, especially in the action and production quality, which made the series feel underwhelming at times.

There were some cute and fun flirting moments that added a bit of charm, but they weren’t enough to carry the whole series.

Compared to Heart Killers, this one falls short in terms of impact and storytelling. Honestly, it felt more like a filler in the 2025–2026 lineup rather than a standout series.

The concept had potential, but it needed stronger execution to really deliver.

Mission Obvious

Mission Cross had a strong cast saddled with flatly drawn characters and action. It lacked what a sexy thriller that blatantly copied some Mr. and Mrs. Smith moments requires, at least a modicum of chemistry between the leads. I like both actors but it was hard to understand how they ever ended up--or stayed--married.

Detective Kang Mi Seon, aka The Crocodile, is less than thrilled with her school bus driver and house husband, Park Gang Mu. They’ve been married for a few years and her kindest compliment is that she could have done worse. She leads a team tracking down drug dealers and a missing CEO, and stumbles upon a secret government cover-up. Park Gang Mu works hard to make Kang’s day easier any way he can in the new life he has chosen. He is contacted by an old spy friend whose husband has gone missing. Though Park had given up his undercover life he is willing to come out of retirement to help old friends. The spouses unknowingly begin working on the same investigation from different angles.

The first hour of the film dragged for me as Kang’s team thought that her “wifey” was having an affair. Park’s instincts had definitely rusted as he never realized he and Jang Hui Ju were being followed and photographed by the bumbling detectives. He also never questioned anything. I kept hoping he and another spy were playing a con on the Big Bad, but nope. They were the ones being played by a patently obvious fake out. Made me lose all respect for them. The writing was painfully bland with no surprises. At least Kang was a competent police officer which was a nice change of pace.

The film didn’t become more engaging until the last 30 minutes and even then, the fights were badly staged. The Big Bad overacted. The fire fights weren’t shot very well. The cinematography and direction lacked a professional, polished look to them. Basically, given the cast, I was disappointed. This paint by numbers script had no depth or originality, no spark. Hwang Jung Min and Yeom Jung Ah deserved better.

Why bother?

This was exactly like the Thai special, except - well no except, it was exactly the same.

A little cute, a lot cut out and extremely unnecessary.

Fuu is the one with a crush on Sara in this, and he's a creepy little stalker who is in love with an incredibly mean person. They go camping together because their respective friends believe they're perfect for each and that somehow works because they start dating? I think, it was pretty nonsensical.

Think I prefer the Thai version to this, atleast something happened there, this was an hour of nothing.

It's not really necessary to watch this special after the series (like I did), so save yourself some time and maybe make it a background watch.

My ultimate comfort BL.

I’m still pretty new to BL dramas, and honestly, Duang With You is the reason I fell so deeply into this genre. I actually started watching BL last year, went through about 10 series, then suddenly lost interest. But somehow, Duang With You pulled me right back in… and this time, it didn’t just bring me back... it made me stay.

There’s something about this series that just hits differently. It’s not just “good”… it’s the kind of show that lingers with you even after you finish an episode. The story feels heartfelt and genuine... not overly complicated, but still emotionally engaging in all the right ways. It balances softness, tension, and those cute moments that make your heart flutter.

Duang and Qin are definitely one of its strongest points. They feel real, flawed, and easy to connect with. Watching their growth felt natural, not rushed, and you can really see how their experiences shape them over time. Their chemistry? Insane. The kind that makes you pause, rewind, and just feel everything all over again.

Teetee and Por did such a great job bringing these characters to life. You can tell they truly understood their roles, and it shows in every small expression and interaction. Nothing felt forced... everything felt lived-in.

The OSTs deserve a special mention too! They’re the kind you keep replaying because they take you right back to specific scenes and emotions. Every track just fits perfectly.

What I love most is how this drama became a comfort show for me. It’s the one I think about randomly, the one I’d rewatch without hesitation. It even got me into shipping, which I never thought would happen… but here I am.

At this point, I can confidently say this is my number one Thai BL drama so far. It didn’t just entertain me... it changed how I experience this genre. And honestly, I don’t think I’ll ever forget the feeling it gave me.
