not just romance - it’s about connection, choices, and finding your person.

What makes Me and Thee really entertaining is the contrast between its two main characters, Peach and Thee, and how their completely different worlds collide after their first chaotic encounter. Peach is a photographer who feels grounded in real life, practical, observant, and very in tune with people and everyday struggles. He’s not polished or overly serious—he feels human, someone who understands real emotions and real situations, even when things get messy.

Thee, on the other hand, is the total opposite. He’s a wealthy businessman who is completely disconnected from everyday reality, especially when it comes to money, normal life struggles, and social awareness. His personality is exaggerated in a comedic way at first - he’s almost like someone living in a different world shaped by luxury, habits, and even fantasy-like thinking influenced by lakorns. That disconnect is exactly what makes his character so funny but also interesting, because underneath the comedy, you can tell he doesn’t actually understand people or real-life value in a grounded way.

The dynamic between Peach and Thee is where the story really comes alive. Peach essentially becomes an unwilling life coach, constantly pulling Thee back into reality and forcing him to face things he’s never had to think about before. What’s fun is that this isn’t just a one-sided “teaching” relationship—Peach also gets pulled into Thee’s world in unexpected ways, leading to moments where both of them start learning from each other.

As the story progresses, Thee’s character slowly shifts from being purely out-of-touch and comedic to someone who begins to understand responsibility, awareness, and emotional depth. Meanwhile, Peach also becomes more emotionally involved than he initially expects, which adds warmth and chemistry to their interactions.

Overall, Me and Thee works because of its strong character contrast, comedic misunderstanding of reality, and the gradual emotional growth that comes from two completely different people being forced into each other’s lives.

Voice over-actor, why?!

It was my first CDrama set during the Republican period, and at first it took me some time to get into the history.

From the middle of the series onward, it becomes increasingly interesting, making it hard to stop.

The plot is the best part. Very original and interesting. Male actors are all superb. I liked all of them, from the ML to secondaries like Tan Si or Old Fu.

There are many visual effects, and the war scenes are very well done. Big resources of personnel and materials.

I’d like to put a better score, but some issues don’t add up:
- Why use a voice-over actor? The voices used are not credible and annoying. The main actors have very beautiful voices, so why use studio voices? Childish and absurd voices for women, and voices that don’t match the mouth in general. It doesn’t give credibility to the performance, not to mention the voices used for foreign actors that make them look like idiots.
I’d like to ask the platforms to re-launch the series without a voice-over actor. I’m sure it will make the show deserve 10.
- Apparel. A lot of resources in personnel, arms, and scenery… but no budget for proper clothing? Only for the military, and in the last episodes, you can see good clothing. At the beginning, it is ridiculous, especially for foreigners who look like clowns or were taken from Disneyland. The FL wears almost the same clothing at the beginning, and it doesn’t look realistic to keep the coat and the hat at home.
- FL despiste other comments, I don’t feel any chemistry between the ML and her. There is more chemistry between the ML and Second M. I feel she looks the same in every scene. No matter the death or love.

Anyway, I liked it so much. From the 10th episode, I ate it. And I’d like to watch it again if they delete the voice-over.

Comedy becomes a Tragedy

They make the girl an orphan in Ep 4. Not worth watching beyond that, or even up to that point. The story begins as a comedy and takes a sharp and unexpected turn for the worse. It was good to begin with when the corporate lady becomes a housewife and mother, giving up her job.. Something seems to have gone wrong during the production as they first make her quit the job, and then when they decide to kill off the father for no apparent reason, she has to resume working.. It all doesn't make any sense. It's just what could have been a great story, gone utterly, horribly wrong. Rewatch is out of the question. Regret watching it even for the first time.

Overall, it is a good series and you can definitely watch it

This series was recently dubbed in Hindi around mid-2025, and I started watching it between 15 March to 3 April 2026. It is a bit long, but since it is a rom-com, it stays entertaining.

In this series, you get sitcom vibes, bromance, friendship, and slapstick (physical comedy). There is also a touch of breakups and relationship drama.

The story is about a group of friends who are struggling in their life and careers, but everything is shown in a very light-hearted and fun way. In Season 1, all the characters slowly start understanding their own love stories, but there is no proper closure or clear ending. So I am still waiting for Season 2, and I heard it may come soon in Hindi dub.

Overall, it is a good series and you can definitely watch it. Yes, there are some silly moments, and in a few places the comedy feels a bit forced, but it is manageable and can be ignored.

From my side, I recommend it and give it 7 out of 10.

Content Type: Web Series (K-Drama)
Genre: Romantic Comedy, Sitcom, Slice of Life
Writer/Director: Directed by Lee Chang-min. Written by Kim Ki-ho, Song Ji-eun, and Song Mi-so. Produced by JTBC.

Disappointing

One word: Disappointing
Waiting for 9 years just for this trash sequel.
Acting still not on par with Princess Agent cast
Story too inconsistent
Huang Yang Tiantian’ Chu ciao is still not on the same level as Zhao LiYing one
Yuwen Yue Kenny Lin is still better than Li Yunrui Yuwen Yue
Yanxun is too lovesick till he forget his original vendetta
This Yuan chun is just annoying villain instead of fallen princess good turn bad villain Yuan Chun from Li Qin
It doesn’t matter if they want to change the name hundred time people won’t stop comparing this trash with legendary Princess Agent.
They should made full closure in Princess Agent instead of make a new then marketed it as sequel
Don’t try to make a fool out of audiences

10/10* star rating is just simply NOT enough!

One important thing I'd like to point out, and I'm not saying it's an inherently bad thing, but after seeing it so many times, it gets repetitive, boring, and even annoying or exhausting to invest your own emotions/feelings into the relationship of the characters that they are to have to just receive a few affectionate scenes in the last episode or two, then cut it short, skip so many important steps of the relationship development, and just hop onto smex right away or marriage even..? Like, make it make sense. If you are tired of series like these... 'Duang with you' could never!

This series is filled to the brim with smooth relationship progression, and even tho the talking phase is apparently totally different for each and every one of us, it does not disappoint. The anticipation that you built over the first few episodes is plentifully rewarded, and you will even get seconds - imagine. On top of that, when you think that you already ate well enough, they double down.

If you are a big fan of the romantic scenes, brace yourself because I don't think I've ever seen a couple that has such natural kisses and interactions overall. Their chemistry is truly unmatched, and their bodies seem to blend so naturally as if they were meant to be together from the very start of their existence. Just another proof that TeeteePor choosing each other was written in the stars - soulmates finding each other.

It's Teetee's and Por's first time having ML and acting out scenes like these, but they have already exceeded their senior colleagues in so many aspects! Of course, we have to give credit to the acting coaches, director, and production, as well as the others who ultimately helped make 'Duang with you' come to life together with TeeteePor.

The storyline goes very smoothly, nothing feels out of place or like it's missing, and it actually MAKES SENSE - unlike many other series I have seen in my lifetime.

If you believe communication is the key, you're in for a treat. They simply don't skimp on talking through tough situations and their feelings, uneasy scenarios and emotions get resolved very reasonably, and it actually makes the way they talk about it feel very real. It really helps you get immersed in the story, their relationship status, and it will make you believe and gulp down every interaction they have and every word they say. You won't be able to help but keep falling in love with the series, the characters, and, most importantly, the actors themselves.
But let me tell you about the sound effects, the BGM?! That's the true cherry on top of the cake here, don't let me get started on that! *Pip Pip Pip PIp Qin- Teetee Teetee Duang!*

As for the main characters; some might call Duang cringy or embarrassing, but for me, he is just lovable and endearing, and I don't get what everyone's problem is with how he expresses love and joy. So you BETTER watch your mouth! Some call Qin cold or heartless, but all he needs is love and understanding because he is just as lovely and adorable as Duang. Patience is the way to go on a long run. Side characters are just as delightful and funny as these two so look forward to them.

Happy endings are what I personally love, and I can't stress enough how much 'Duang with you' and TeeteePor are my pride and joy. I fell in love with them, and I don't think I'll ever be able to recover from them. This will be the series that will stick with me till the end of my days (not to sound dramatic). If you decide to give this series a chance (as you should) and get to know TeeteePor and others, they will inevitably grow to your hearts and won't let go.

If you still yearn for more after watching the series, I highly recommend reading the novel. You won't regret it, I promise. <3
Also follow the boys on SNS and give them and their other works love because the deserve it.

Supporting cast steals the spotlight

The leads definitely have chemistry, and the secondary characters’ stories are decent. But the female lead is just… really poorly written. It’s not only about the lying—it’s the inconsistency between how she’s portrayed and who she actually is. I just don’t see the "good" in her.

The secondary couple’s story is far more beautiful. Honestly, I wish their narrative had taken center stage instead.

The writing overall isn’t very strong, and it’s clear this series leans heavily on romance, which
the series delivered... averagely.

Anyway, Hou Minghao is absolutely beautiful here.

A cute and healing series with two great leads.

PLOT: HaRan, head designer at a major fashion brand, has been living in a kind of "winter" since the death of her boyfriend seven years earlier. She meets Chan, a project manager and character designer at a large animation US company, for a project. He seems very sociable and cheerful (but he hides his wounds and traumas). He does everything he can to help HaRan overcome her depression, with infinite patience (and a lot of love).

+++ Chae Jong Hyeop and Lee Sung Kyung: handsome, talented, and moving, with great chemistry.
+++ The actors are all convincing, endearing, and very human. I particularly love the couple Lee Mi Sook and Kang Suk Woo (mature couples are rarely developed in dramas).
+++ Effective direction that maintains the mystery until the very end.
+++ Coherent story (or almost, it's Dramaland after all ;)
+++ Korean OSTs -> OK

But why, why, why?
### The FL's idiotic (stupid? inconsistent with the character) attitude in episode 11: Why do FLs have to be purely selfish and self-centered? Why this refusal to listen and understand?
> Curse of episode 11?
> A desire to insert a break-up ? misogyny by the screenwriters?
щ(ಠ益ಠщ) щ(ಠ益ಠщ) щ(ಠ益ಠщ)

=> Very good series, with endearing characters AND (•ө•)♡ Chae Jong Hyeop

Where Humor Meets Palace Intrigue

I didn’t expect to come away from this drama with such a strong impression, but I have to admit - it’s excellent! I’m very pleasantly surprised by how much it held my attention. It is an easy and enjoyable watch, even though it includes dramatic moments and unexpected plot twists. I’m not a fan of overly exaggerated comedy, but here the amount of humor is just right - enough to make you laugh and keep you wanting to watch more. The ML is wonderful and does an outstanding job portraying a "mad, tyrannical emperor". The FL is surprisingly interesting, and the supporting characters are vivid and memorable. Altogether, it creates a charming story with remarkable depth.

The Clues Made Sense, The Choices Didn’t

Five years after the haunting “8/17 Case” went cold, Sunsets Secrets Regrets wastes no time pulling us back into the shadows. New evidence surfaces by the Tong River, and with it comes Zhou Jin, a determined investigator carrying both duty and grief, and Professor Jiang Han Sheng, a criminal psychology expert who looks like he walked straight out of an academic daydream in his collared shirts and glasses. Alongside them, though often from a distance, is Jiang Cheng, the undercover officer who has spent years buried deep within the criminal world. What begins as a fragmented puzzle slowly reveals a larger, more intricate picture involving the elusive Old Scorpion and a network of buried truths.

I would be lying if I said the beginning was easy to follow. The early episodes feel like flipping through scattered case files without tabs, leaving you slightly disoriented and struggling to connect the dots. It is not until around episodes eight to ten that the narrative finally clicks into place. Suddenly, everything starts to make sense. The cases intertwine, the history gains weight, and the mystery becomes genuinely gripping. From there, the drama finds its rhythm, though not without some bumps along the way. The investigations themselves are a mixed bag. At their best, they are sharp and exhilarating, driven by clever psychological analysis that makes you feel like you are solving the case alongside the characters. At their weakest, they drag, wander, and occasionally lead nowhere, testing your patience. Still, watching Han Sheng break down criminal behavior is undeniably one of the show’s highlights, and yes, the man makes profiling look stylish.

The undercover storyline, which should have been a major pillar, feels strangely detached from the main investigation. Jiang Cheng’s years of infiltration do peel back layers of the criminal organization, but when you step back, his contributions to solving the central mystery feel surprisingly minimal. The police, armed with new evidence and Han Sheng’s analysis, could have reached similar conclusions without him. His arc ends up serving less as a narrative engine and more as emotional fuel, particularly for the drama’s heavy focus on love, regret, and what could have been.

And that brings us to the romance, which is as central to the story as the crime itself. The relationship between Zhou Jin and Han Sheng is a slow burn that occasionally forgets it is supposed to simmer and instead jumps straight to boiling. Their sudden marriage, sparked by a life or death moment, feels absurd when you think about it. Agreeing to marry someone after only a handful of dates, without even remembering your shared childhood, is the kind of decision that makes you pause and go, really? Yet somehow, once the dust settles, their married life becomes one of the coziest parts of the drama. There is something almost slice of life about the way they navigate their relationship. Han Sheng, for all his intelligence, turns into a clingy, affectionate partner who just wants to be close to her, while Zhou Jin slowly learns how to open her heart. Their quiet domestic moments, filled with hugs and soft interactions, feel like warm sunsets after long, chaotic days.

Of course, the sweetness comes with its own layer of unease. Han Sheng’s long standing habit of silently watching over Zhou Jin, both as a child and as an adult, sits in a gray area between devotion and creepiness. It is framed as concern, especially given the danger surrounding her, but if you think too hard about it, it does raise questions. Even more puzzling is how Zhou Jin, as a trained police officer, remains largely oblivious to this behavior. Logic occasionally takes a backseat here, but if you are willing to let it slide, their chemistry makes it easier to accept.

The love triangle adds another layer of complexity, though not always for the better. Jiang Cheng’s reappearance brings tension and emotional weight, especially as his past with Zhou Jin resurfaces. At first, his jealousy and internal conflict are compelling, even a little addictive to watch. But as his story unfolds, the character becomes increasingly frustrating. He is both consistent and inconsistent in a very human way, having pushed Zhou Jin away in the past only to later reveal lingering feelings at the worst possible time. His actions blur the line between self sacrifice and self sabotage. While his pain is undeniable, much of it stems from his own choices, which makes it harder to fully sympathize. Over time, what started as an engaging dynamic turns into a cycle of regret that feels repetitive. Still, there is something satisfying about the eventual resolution, with Zhou Jin choosing Han Sheng and Jiang Cheng stepping back, finally accepting his place in her life.

The cast does a lot of heavy lifting in making these characters work. Jing Bo Ran brings a charming balance to Jiang Han Sheng, blending intelligence, awkwardness, and emotional vulnerability into a character that could have easily come off as overbearing. Instead, he feels oddly endearing, even when his traits lean toward possessive. Cai Wen Jing delivers a decent performance as Zhou Jin, capturing her inner conflict, though the character itself can be frustratingly naive and inconsistent. Meanwhile, Qin Jun Jie makes Jiang Cheng far more compelling than the writing allows. His portrayal, especially during the undercover segments, adds depth to a character that might have otherwise faded into the background.

Unfortunately, the ending does not quite stick the landing. After a strong and engaging middle, the final stretch feels rushed and oddly underwhelming. Key confrontations lack emotional impact, and certain scenes border on the absurd. The rooftop sequence, in particular, feels like it belongs in a different drama altogether, with its questionable logic and diminished stakes. What should have been a tense, high risk moment ends up feeling strangely hollow. The resolution of key characters, including Qi Yan and Jiang Cheng, is left ambiguous in a way that feels less like intentional mystery and more like unfinished business.

Despite its flaws, Sunsets Secrets Regrets remains an enjoyable watch. It is a drama of contrasts, confusing at the start, gripping in the middle, and uneven at the end. While it may not rank among the best in the crime thriller genre, it offers enough intrigue, emotional depth, and character driven moments to keep you invested. Think of it as a sunset that is not perfectly framed, a little hazy at the edges, but still beautiful enough to make you stop and watch until the very end.

This show bring so much nostalgic

This show bring so much nostalgic.
At the first place i was get so bored, like the plot is so slow, but as the time passed it gets funnier and worth the time. I love every single characters got their own way to tell, how they were so close and love each other. Every single character was described so well, and I could immediately have an imagine of how they trough their own path.
But what impressed me a lot was how the plot is going so mysteriously, I didnt watch a lot of dramas yet, but every dramas I watch had a very guess able plots but this series wasnt, the plot was so perfect and make you feels like you′re also in that situation with them, together. Talking abt together, theyre really look like very caring neighbourhood, not judt acting but actual neighbour and friends in real life. The chemistry was top tier.
The sadness, comedy and happiness well sent to my eyes because i fall so deep to the plot. when its ending, i cried so badly. I know this wasnt only me because I heard everybody who watched this also felt the same way, it feels like you were their neighbour too and when theyre moved from Ssangmung-Dong, you were leave behind, alone. Theyre gone. All growing up.

An Epic Drama That Stays in Your Heart

A beautifully written epic story and a drama that truly tugs at the heartstrings. This series is a real masterpiece when it comes to building tension and emotional intensity from one episode to the next. The experience is made even better by the strikingly handsome male cast, who are undeniably charming on screen, and by the ML’s excellent performance, especially through his body language and facial expressions. It is no surprise that this drama is breaking popularity records. It is definitely worth watching, even for viewers who are not usually fans of historical Chinese dramas.
