Every You, Every Me (2024)

Very refreshing!

Great story, unique and unexpected. Awesome acting. All in all the series was very refreshing and I enjoyed it immensely.There wasn’t one boring minute in there. The actors looked and acted naturally and human and the chemistry they created was 100% believable.
The only thing I found a little cringey was the endling. Showing up with the flowers and “stealing” the show didn’t fit perfectly to the rest of how the story went and how the characters behaved - at least not in my eyes - but the actual proposal felt genuine and real.
The show was a breath of fresh air!

It leaves quite an impression

It does. Whoever wanted to promote these two actors had a brilliant idea and made a smart move with this project. The artists are extremely talented and beautiful, and they succeeded in showcasing their skills amazingly. Their beauty is quite uncommon, with distinctive, prominent features. Their talent is simply breathtaking, proving them to be versatile and extremely skillful actors. They succeeded to brilliantly portray very different characters, with very different behaviors and to convey powerful, profound feelings. I was invested the whole series, in every story, to the point that I was thinking about them even at work. And trust me, my job is one which simply doesn't leave space for anything else other than itself in the brains. I am impressed.
Story #1: Dol & Sun
This is set in a fictional universe where people are able to see their soulmates when it rains. Not very appealing to me, and I must admit that for a few minutes I had doubts I could continue watching. But then the actors came and made all my doubts go away. Mick as Dol was an angelic figure (which he is by nature), and Top as Sun was a heartwarming one. The story isn't necessarily special, but the actors/ characters were so endearing that they kept my eyes glued to the screen. In this first story, I liked Dol/ Mick better than Sun/ Top.
Story #2: Prin & First
This plot was even weaker than the first one (for me at least), but again, the actors did such an amazing job that I completely forgot about the scenario. The artists switched roles: the reserved one became livelier, and the sunny, lively one became somber. Here I was equally impressed by both of them, when realizing how skillful they are. Also, seeing them portraying opposite temperaments was refreshing and fun to watch. Top as Prin was classy in a classic way, while Mick as First was simply sweet; he gave off the feeling that he wasn't even acting, he was just being himself.
Story #3: X & Namping
This scenario was a good one. With a heavy theme and profound sentiments, it was an impressive love-story, of Romeo and Juliet caliber, except separation was due to illness. Oh, and both of them are males. Sorry, I forgot. Being deeply touched by the story and impressed by the acting, I cried as if my mother had just died. I couldn't believe myself. The actors were equally impressive, brilliant and geniuses. Mick as X was quite manly, which was unexpected, given his naturally angelic features. Hats off! And when he cried over the death of his beloved, the whole universe collapsed. I believe this will stay with me for a while, and don't think I ever saw an actor crying so tragically, yet so convincing. He was simply a Grand Master of Acting. Top as Namping was another Grand Master. Being the princess that he was in this scenario, I was (and still am) in awe of his grace and delicacy; his whole being was like the shuffle of angels wings. At the same time, he was majestic. He deserved all the devotion in the universe, he knew it and he owned it.
By the time we reached this story, the artists have already travelled quite a journey: from simple, cute, endearing to serious, to heavenly creatures, or vice versa, from angelic to manly, to tragic. Also, the feelings became more and more compelling.
Story #4: Sian & Blue
This is where I liked Top/ Sian better than Mick/ Blue. Now, from the heavenly creature Namping, Top became a manly (but still with a hint of grace) and very sensual one, in order to impersonate Sian. He actually started out with a gremlin appearance, but very soon became an incredibly sexy, tempting character. Every minute, every second, he was exuding desire for his more timid counterpart. Even when he was simply leaning to the wall, waiting for Phukan to finish her conversation with Blue, he was giving off a flirtatious vibe. Mick also did a good job impersonating Blue, a character again serious and a little shy. But this time the couple's dynamic is different from the first story, because Blue is a little more honest about his desires and more playful. In his case, the change of role is rather on the side of subtlety.
Story #5: Inn & Pun
The beginning of this one is confusing because it isn't cut from the previous story, and it makes us think that we're about to see some BTS moments. Which in a sense we are. To clarify, the last scenario is about Inn and Pun, two actors who play the roles of Sian and Blue from the previous scenario.
I didn't really like this plot simply because I'm not into BTS moments, I'm not interested at all about what happens on the plateau during filming. Also, seeing the actors playing their roles while being surrounded by so many people ruins the fairy tale for me. Everything becomes artificial and looses its charm. But the actors did an amazing job again, succeeding to portray a difficult relationship, filled with angst. No sensuality this time. Even the scenes where Sian was like the god of temptation were stripped of any sensuality; they were presented like trivial acts of work made by common people at their job. The focus was purely on the feelings, and the artists did a great job emphasizing them. Inn and Pun were complicated people, with complicated feelings, and had a complicated relationship. But still, they were pure at heart. Both Mick and Top managed to impersonate their respective characters equally convincing, and I'm not sure whether I didn't forget to breathe for a while, waiting for them, as Inn and Pun, to solve their differences. And when Inn started to cry, I literally jumped off my bed screaming "No, no, no! Don't cry! Don't cry! Don't cry!" But I was already in tears. Luckily, his crying wasn't that tragic this time, and mine wasn't as bad.

In conclusion, the journey is beautiful, captivating, fascinating and satisfying. The actors gained my highest respect and BRAVO to all the filmmakers who contributed to this unique story.

I don't think I've ever seen a series with so many layers, so beautifully delivered that it captures the essence of each role uniquely. Unknowingly, from episode one we are led to believe that this would be eight episodes of different stories and in each, they would always choose each other. Who wouldn't enjoy a series of romances with happy endings? So,I sat, every Sunday afternoon expecting blissful bl happiness. Something else was in store.

Mick and Top played with our feelings and played it well. They made us believe in heros and soulmates. Office romances with a 'fairy' grandmother. Then the emotional rollercoaster took a dive into the suffering a loved one feels being left behind with unfullfilled dreams and painful memories. I'm not ashamed to say I cried as if my loved one had died. But it is here the real story begins. Actors portraying roles, becoming lovers and losing their way. It is difficult in real real life to navigate the multitude of happenings and feelings to continue in love, even though you make take diverging paths. To portray the tone deafness and closed off responses given in defense, all the while knowing that deep love is still there. They embodied every character and the nuances that brought them to life. No traits lapping over until the real story emerged. They were unique.

The series rose to different heights each week and I was never disappointed. Episode eight is my favourite for the fact that we don't always get what we want when we want but with growth and love we might get what we need when we most need it. Through it all, it was a beautiful to see a small ensemble deliver each week. There were things that could have been done differently. The predictability of the first two episodes didn't have any outstanding dialogue to make it any different than what was heard before. The switch from acting to real life was a bit confusing at first. Inn and Pun started dating in ep four and then they went straight to breaking up. Only in episode eight, it was revealed the reason but still not convincingly enough as the breakup still felt one sided.

Mick and Top interact beautifully together. They have the skills to pull every emotion from every scene in subtle ways. This vehicle was a great way to showcase their talents. Ball and Fiat also did well. It would be nice to see them together again. Rewatch - definitely.

You’re cute in every universe out there

Played by the same male leads, the characters are hopelessly drawn to each other in all of the universes they inhabit. This series is perfect for people who get bored easily. 

What’s commendable is that the characters in various storylines not only look different, but also behave extremely differently in terms of how they display their emotions and respond to difficult situations. The dynamic between each couple is also not the same.

The clever part of the series is that it ties together a collection of several storylines involving vastly different characters, played by the same actors.

Top and Mick have done well on this front, as versatile actors who are able to capture every character’s unique essence. They also have superb chemistry across all their characters (some obviously more electric than others), which is quite a feat if you ask me.

While you’ll be able to grasp the storyline completely even with the cut version, the unfortunate reality is that the story comes out a little choppy and truncated. Watch the uncut version for maximum enjoyment!

Mixed Disappointment and Yet, Liked it too

So this will contain Spoilers for those that haven't watched all of the 8 episodes.

I went into this working off the synopsis and the trailer which made it seem as though it would be multiple arcs with the same people in varying lives always finding each other.

Episode 1 made me think of La Pluie with a twist, the color blind until soul mate thing was different and I found I quite liked it. I would have been happier if Sun's ex had a bit more happen after what he pulled, but overall the story kept me watching.

Episode 2 had me enjoying the dynamics in a different way. I was all about Prin and his growth. I also loved his grandmother.

Episode 3 - 4 Namping's character really drove things home. I came to the conclusion that seeing him cry and even in that one seeing X or Ton cry made me want to burn the world to keep them from crying. While I would have liked to have an idea of exactly what it was that Namping suffered from, I feel for so short of story (I mean 2 episodes to tell a great deal) they did damn well at pulling the heartstrings and making me invested in what was going on. I cried and teared up more than once.

I get how Namping wanted to choose not to have X see him at the end, but I also felt that Ton's point was important. I feel that using the cemetary visit for the reveal was a perfect choice, you could see the moment it dawned and it was heartwrenching.

Episode 5-6 this is where I began to get a bit frustrated, at first it was great. The story of Blue and Sian interested me, there were quite a few tropes this one played into as well. Absolutely amused at the way they used food to tease and mimic things. I liked the dynamic. However, at the end of the 6th when it's revealed that they are basically on a movie set and that in actuality Pun and Inn were playing the roles I became a bit disappointed. I felt like it took away from what could have been a great mix.

Episode 7 - 8 with Pun and Inn now the MC's and the entire thing being outed that each of the former stories were simply roles they portrayed I was a bit frustrated. Yet, the chemistry between the actors as they played even the roles of Pun and Inn, plus the added energy that Fiat brought to the roll of Otto, it kept me engaged.

Overall my thoughts are this:

I would have much rather there not have been the misleading aspects of the synopsis and trailer than feel I was investing time in watching something that would in essence be about two souls finding each other regardless of what else came their way. If they wanted to do multiple scenes to show the diversity of actors there were better ways they could have prepared watchers for it.

I did however have to give props to Top, Mick, and Fiat specifically as they embodied their roles and connected with the audience. The versatility of the actors was definitely highlighted in the series.

Deserve Better Attention

You all have seen many comments about this show deserve more attention then it currently get and I totally agree to that.There're so many things a like about this series and also so many things that I wasn't expected. First of all acting , you can accuse me of judge rashly but I have to admit that I looked down on the cast and the crew. Because as you know there're so many uncountable BL series nowadays and most of them are Just so-so or so repetitive in general. May be the story will be something we've seen frequently like exploring about adulthoods,the mafia ,crime etc.., but the plot will be simple and easy to guess. 12 The worst things is they do not focus on story and acting anymore , they just want to sell the series . At least that is how I feel.

And of course, due to being BL series in Typical nowadays , this series also aim towards to getting viral with some scenes that being over sexualizing. But on the others hands , others aspects are kind of perfect for the current standard of BL series.

The first thing I want to praise about is Acting. Top is always superb for every character he potrayed and it is one of the best performance I've ever seen in Thai BL seires history. Especially the character of Namping (I believe you know which scene I'm talking about).After I checked his IG and guessed how his lifestyle is , I even more impressive. Mick , on the other hand , is good but just so so because may be he's still young. He also has potential because he can also nail every character he potrayed and the actings are different accordingly. AND their versatility are on another level especially top.

The story and script are refreshing due to being kind of anthology series which I never seen in BL . It is not technically anthology but feel like it for the first few episodes but definitely refreshing. Seeing this make me realize that sometimes if you can't write the story more appealing and are going to write unnecessarily long without any interesting plots or progress (I'm shouting to GMMTV) , just writes series like this is entertaining more than enough. And sometime if we are lucking enough , we will get talented crew like this.

The last part is about crews , the director and the editor , I must say, the editing and the decision of the director are also the main key that this series make me feel so good. The shots are something I've rarely seen in this BL Yaoi industry which is good. Also the editing is. I really adore that they are not over using some cringing background soundtracks without any point. You will know what I mean if you're movies junkie. The overused of background soundtracks make the film very cheap if it is not necessary and most of BL series do that alot. I really like that they let some scenes go as they go without using any aggressive music. It made me more involved into this series and really get closer to the character emotions.

Being the scripts is refreshing but the story is simple yet effective and all of the crew are being this talented , I'd really would like to see more of their projects.

Overall , this series might not be something special or something new but it is definitely worth to spend your time. I'm not usually follow ongoing and wait for the series to entirely finished but I waited each week for new episodes for the series since EP5.

Note : I'm not really good with English so some sentences might be unnecessarily long and some information and other things I wanted to say might left to fill.

One Of The Best!

When I first started to watch this series, I frankly was perplexed by it. It certainly grabbed my attention and honestly, I did not identify the same actors playing different roles. Sincerely, I thought they were different actors as the roles, setup, and stories were so vastly distinctive. But as each of the storylines developed, I did observe that the essence was the same. It was well into the third storyline when I had my epiphany and realized the actors were the same but each of the stories was wildly different. Two young men find each other fall in love and form a nexus. However, not always with happy endings. Each character represented different personalities and certainly different outlooks on life. Yet, something always draws the two of them together. And that something of course is love. The outstanding quality of this series is that while there is no direct link between stories, it all still flows so naturally. It is an anthology that comes alive for you. There is nothing metaphysical, esoteric, or destined in the stars that fate the two protagonists to be together in each story. It all seems to flow so naturally and organically and without help from any high powers. And to be rewarded at the end with having a feeling of watching something that felt so alive happening, made it all the more special.

This show came out of nowhere and I am literally obsessed!

I started this show a couple of weeks ago honestly because I didn't have anything else to watch and I am so happy I did. I went into this show with zero expectations but oh my goodness it was so amazing! I really enjoyed that the first couple of episodes were different stories and then they reveal that the main story is focused around the actors who are playing those characters. The emotional range of the main leads was truly amazing and I honestly cried so much. I am so excited to see Top and Mick in more shows and hopefully they are together because their chemistry is insane!

EL MEJOR BL TAILANDÉS DEL 2024

ES EL PUÑETERO MEJOR BL TAILANDÉS DE ESTE AÑO. No tiene actores que digas que son el no va más, vamos es que yo flipo con Mick con 22 años que ya te haga semejantes actuaciones. Pero es que Top no se queda atrás. (Espero y deseo que les vaya genial profesionalmente) Madre mía, ambos actores sus actuaciones, porque si saben actuar te lo han demostrado en las cinco historias, personajes distintos, de diferentes clichés y con personalidades variopintas pero es que te quedabas embobada viendo las actuaciones espectaculares que han hecho. Como han sabido captar la esencia de cada personaje y siempre manteniendo la química entre ambos. PORQUE MENUDA QUÍMICA . Mi corazón , mi mente y mi todo se quedaron en el capítulo tres y cuatro y en esa escena en el rio que le dice X a Namping, ''me estas volviendo loco''. AMIGA AHÍ SE RESPIRABA ANHELO,DESEO , LUJURIA Y DEVOCIÓN (¿Las mejores escenas de este año se han grabado en rios ? Podemos recordar la escena del BL taiwanes Unknown. Ya lo dijo un sabio pero en un buen beso tiene el agua que fluir....).

Las historias me han encantado y al principio si bien no entedía nada , a la vez en cierto modo comprendía que no eran reencarnaciones y sinceramente no me importaba que jugasen con distintos clichés , porque por desgracia para mi no veo que estos señores sean una pareja fija como otros de la industria (lo cual no se si decirte que mejor, porque odio que haya parejas fijas en la industria de bl o es una gran pérdida porque no les voy a volver a ver otra vez juntos pese a la química que tienen), entonces que tocasen todos los clichés de los bls no me molestaba. Pero es que AMIGA , el capitulo 3 y 4, cambió la temática que me tiene acostumbrada los BLs tailandeses, porque esto es algo que no estamos acostumbradas de ver en Tailandia. Si me dices en Japón, pues si porque la mitad de los personajes para darle el twist a la historia tienen enfermedades terminales que no les permite acabar con su amor pero es que aquí no me lo esperaba y que de verdad , siento ser pesada pero es que los capítulos 3 y 4 me han parecidos dos obras maestras que ya les gustaría a muchos actores de ''renombre en el BL tailandes '' , famosos (pero que para mí actuan fatal) y empresas con dinero (ejem G M M T v) tener a estos actores o semejantes ideas o narración. Cuando acabe esos capitulos recuerdo irme a dormir triste porque esa historia me caló hondo, pero a la vez estaba expectante porque sabia que iba a haber otra historia y que iban a volver juntos , y es que al principio de los capitulos puedes echar de menos a los personajes de la historia anterior pero a medida que el capítulo va pasando poco a poco te vas adentrando más y empatizas más y te metes más en la historia que coges de nuevo cariño a nuevos personajes.
Me ha petado un poco la cabeza cuando en el sexto al final ves que todo es porque son actores de grabación, como he dicho al principio a mi me vendías historias separadas , sin reencarnación con estos dos señores en cada historia enamorandose profundamente y con distintos clichés y me tenias ganada de verdad. YO HE FLIPADO CON LA QUÍMICA Y SOBRETODO CON LAS ACTUACIONES. Si bien te cuesta un poco el final o al menos el final del capitulo 6, me ha gustado, rollo como te meten todo lo de las grabaciones. Aunque amigos os aviso la mayoria de las parejas fijadas no son parejas en la vida real, son dos actores heteros (demos gracias al señor si son bisexuales) pero vaya que no son pareja, es que hay gente que luego la realidad no la discierne muy bien.
Me ha gustado como al final ninguno tiene que ceder por sus sueños pero a la vez consiguen arreglar sus diferencias. El final me ha parecido muy tierno.
Ojala Tailandia vaya por este camino en cuanto a guiones y no caiga en estereotipos.
Espero que a Mick y Top les vaya genial y que la gente descubra esta maravilla de BL.
