I'm Tee Me Too (2020)

Quando ho deciso di vedere questa serie non avevo alcun tipo di aspettativa e seriamente non avrei mai pensato di uscirne così commossa e attaccata sentimentalmente.
Per me questa serie è completa, ha tutto quello di cui abbiamo bisogno: risate, tristezza, consapevolezza e tante lezioni di vita.
Ho amato come sin dall’inizio abbiamo avuto tantissime risate fatte per poi capire e ragionare su quello per cui stiamo ridendo, quello che abbiamo visto faceva ridere ma se andiamo a riflettere sul perchè di tutte quelle azioni capiamo che hanno un retroscena più oscuro di quello che possiamo pensare, capiamo che quelle azioni sono fatte apposta per cercare di risolvere una cosa che i personaggi odiavano e di cui volevano liberarsi.
Quindi sì fa ridere ma anche riflettere.
Ho imparato tanto vedendo la loro esperienza e come hanno superato le loro paure.
In primo luogo queste paure possono sembrare bizzarre ma capiamoci, ognuno ha paura di un qualcosa di diverso e anche se a noi può sembrare strana una di queste paure è anche vero che allo stesso tempo l’altra persona combatte per risolvere il problema.
Bisogna capire e non trattare male gli altri solo perchè la loro paura ci sembra bizzarra e assurda, bisogna aiutare il prossimo a poterne uscire e vivere meglio.
Sin dall’inizio ho amato completamente la loro amicizia, sono dei ragazzi stupendi, ne hanno passate tante eppure sono sempre rimasti uniti e hanno supportato l’altro come se fossero fratelli, la loro amicizia è unica, mi ha lasciato tanto, il mio cuore non regge il loro volersi bene infinitamente.
Mi fa molto piacere che Waitee abbia poi fatto veramente amicizia con loro e quindi non preso più le distanze, e mi è stra piaciuto come tutti e 5 abbiano sempre cercato di fare amicizia e aiutare Waitee anche se lui era il primo a prendere le distanze.
In generale questa è la prima serie che mi trasmette proprio quel calore di casa, quell’affetto e quello stare al proprio agio che neanche a casa mia sento.
Penso sia stupenda, mi ha lasciato col sorriso e qualche lacrimuccia, la consiglio vivamente se si vuole vedere un qualcosa di divertente e piacevole.

The idea of putting together the trinity, in a setting that somewhat reminded me of 'Friends' was genius(ok well maybe not genius but the fanservice is totally appreciated) - it was a break from GMMtV's usual Friday night BL schedule - even without the BL elements.

The plot was kind of forced and silly - six guys with the same name living in one house. Each one has their own phobia and will overcome it with the help of each other. This is a family drama with each one having their own backstory and a time to shine, although i feel like Singto's screentime was less than the others.

The acting and the production is outstanding, their house (production design) is also great, i especially love seeing the full glory of the house during the end credits. The pacing is perfect.

What i love the most is just seeing all of them together. Their chemistry is fantastic, its like watching real friends in real life.

What i hate is the fact that it is shorter than the average Thai dramas, and with only eight episodes i am left wanting more! Also i feel like i may have enjoyed this drama simply because im already a fan of all these 6 actors, but if it maybe a different stort if this was seen by someone who doesnt know them at all.

Still, im thankful for this series and will be rewatching.

It's pure fanservice, but somehow it works. The comedy is silly, the characters are silly and their interactions are silly, and it’s great to watch. It has some touching moments hidden behind the comedy, and watching the characters get close to each other and form a friendship was just enjoyable. So that was a nice light gift for all the fans of the cast members. It wasn't top-notch writing, and it was not supposed to be.

Did I enjoy it? Yes. Some episodes more than others. Some characters were better written with more believable and relatable storyline, some were exaggerated and presented in a comedic way. With such a cast with a variety of truly different characters, I believe everyone will find someone whom they like and relate to.

Episodes focus on different problems all Tee's face and how they help each other overcome them. Not all tries end with success, but that's life. Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, but you always have to keep striving for improvement.

I might have enjoyed it more if it was not for episode 7 and the last storyline explored. It made me slightly dislike some of the characters ("slightly dislike" might not be the correct statement, I was truly annoyed when I watched it). The ending was emotionally heavy, but since the set up for it was quite weak, it didn't hit me as hard as it should, taking into consideration the discussed subject.

The acting was good. As always, Gun takes the trophy for the best crying scene. I could see clear improvement from all the cast members (though Krist surprised me the most).

Overall, I would say die hard fans would love it, fans would enjoy it, others it's 50/50 chance of liking or being meh about it. I enjoyed it, but with every episode, my excitement kind of slowly died.

Good Enough

" I'm Tee, Me Too " was a fun drama to watch, especially if one is a fan of the cast.

The success of the drama lays mainly in the fact that they presented six different personalities with different stories for each boy. The comedy element was not spared and it worked well with the boys chemistry and bromance dynamics.

However, the drama that was added in the final episodes did not fit well with the whole mood of the series. Not to mention that the reasoning was ridiculous and cheesy. Honestly, it would have been better off without it.

Still, the drama was fun, lighthearted (mostly) and interesting.

So, six out of ten.

A fan service series AND we are not complaining!

What I like:
The OST, it is upbeat and I could listen into it almost everyday.
Visuals are very polished, too polished.
Slice of life take on each episode.

What I dislike:
It is a mediocre slice of life story. There was a weakness in its story telling.
And with that mediocrity, the series suffered from the theme it ought to deliver and just became a fan service. Character development felt rushed making it feel inorganic.
Also, the ending felt rushed too.

But overall, this is a watchable series where you can gush on the 'trinity' and just don't care about the plot and what will happen. You can even watched an episode as a stand alone and you will not be lost.

I'm Tee and this show was a choice.

It doesn't really matter what the reviews are...plans for a fan meet must already be underway one would assume.

Episodes 5 and 6 (which deal with New and Singto) are the standouts in terms of storyline.

Am really trying to articulate why this show gets a 4.5 rating and it's difficult to put the banality which is the show's premise into words - popular BL actors star in a show where they all have the same name and stay in the same house. One is afraid of ghosts, another of beautiful women, the sound of someone chewing food...amusing right? yea, no.

The standout for me as a character was the house in which this show takes place. Architecture is beautiful, the bedrooms have a certain moodiness to them, the living and dining spaces have great natural light and stunning furniture pieces. The lighting fixtures seem a bit too 'on-trend'. The outdoor area of the house has been landscaped really well.

Please watch the show if you're die hard fans of the actors. Please don't lose hope on Thai drama industry on watching it though. There are some real good shows on at the moment.

Good start, Mediocre ending

Plot:

The beginning of the series until 6th episode is my favorite. It told the story of each character nicely. Every character has their own arc and it's good. But unfortunately, each arc doesnt complement the last and for me, the supposed to be main arc, which is Watee (Krist Perawat) as the landlord and T-Rex (the one who actually his brother). The revealing is too sudden, too rushed and without giving us any build up to that before T-Rex told Watee, his father is still alive and he is his brother. Okay, it did plant some clues here and there, but I don't like the way T-Rex and his father came to Watee and forced Watee to accept them into their live. T-Rex should know that Watee has a trust issue with anyone.

It has the happy ending. Of course. But it feels like forced and didnt come naturally. The last episode didn't give us anything except the fanservices for the fans of the 6 actors. The way they use a debt collector to beat up Watee just to make Watee realized the importance of the other Tees and the illness of Watee's father to make the boy forgives him are as lame as the reason why he left Watee and his mom back then.

For the conclusion, the plot of this series chose the easy way instead of smarter way.

From 6 arcs, my favorites are Teedo's arc and Maitee's arc. They are so heart warming and well written tho each arc only has 30 minutes to be told.

Acting:

These 6 boys, Krist Perawat as Watee, Singto Prachaya as Maitee, Gun Attaphan as T-Rex, Off Jumpol as Maetee, Tay Tawan as Teedo and New Thitipoom as Teedet did a great job as the main centers of the series. They can handle their own character well.

That's why it's such a pity this series cant dig a deeper emotion from Watee and his inner struggle to finally accept his father. As an actor, Krist's emotion range is wide. He can pull off any emotion well. But unfortunately I cant feel anything when he met the father. The chemistry was off when it was supposed to be a touching scene. And what made it worse is the father acting is bad.

The music

I love 2 original soundtracks of this series a lot. Both are easy listening and capture the vibes of the series as whole.

Rewatch value

I will definitely comeback for ep. 6, Maitee's arc again and again for Krist and Singto. Then maybe I will comeback for Teedo's arc just for Soundlab aka Apple. She's so pretty!!

Somewhat cute, but it felt empty

Like many others, I started watching because there were some actors that I really enjoy watching in other series (Gun, Off, Singto and Krist). Just like I was expecting, the acting was VERY good and the emotions were well-portrayed in every scene.
What I felt was lacking spark was the plot itself. There isn't anything big going on for most of the series and even the little tropes sprinkled in don't do much to make it more lively. For the most part I kept watching for the main actors, but after a while I struggled to finish because of how monotonous the story was. I'm usually a big fan of fluffy stories; I manage to enjoy them even when they are predictable for the simple fact that they bring me comfort. This time around it simply didn't happen, and while there were some moments that caught my interest every now and then, by the end I was forcing myself to finish.
I believe it's a pity, because the potential for an interesting plot was there (maybe by making the characters interact more with each other, beyond their respective phobias? Or by creating good foundations for the "climax" of the series, which fell on us completely out of the blue and only managed to confuse me instead of making the show more interesting?). It can be a good series for someone who is looking for something light to watch, but that's it.

This was a very sweet drama about friendship and family - with a smidgen of soap opera - whose ending gave me warm fuzzies.

It’s no secret that I watched it mainly and mostly for New Thitipoom playing Teedet and I really loved his character. I loved his love for plants and small animals, his almost terminal foot-in-mouth-is and his determination not to suffer any BS from anyone. Also during Teedet’s monologues, Newwiee’s voice was so wonderfully warm and soft.

It was cute - but too short!!! - and you could see how much the actors enjoyed playing their parts and acting together because, though they’re the original pillars of GMMTV, some of them never had the chance to act together. I guess this was their last stab at playing students for GMMTV before they jump to adult roles. And no wonder, considering that some of them will be 30 next year. I hope we’ll see them in something else together in the future but if not, then this drama was a wonderful gift to the fans of the three Royal Couples.

Stunning Series

This is a most endearing series that is NOT BL in the classic sense of the word. It is an 8-episode series about friendship. What makes this story so unique is that all the characters are named Tee or have Tee in their names. The writing and directing for the most part are pretty solid. It has spots of humor but mostly concentrates on the pathos. There is no romance in this series but their is intense friendship and it is a solid gem of very, very good acting. This is very different for all of these actors and they get to take their acting abilities to a new level. I for one appreciated it deeply.

Okayyyy

So to be honest for some reason I went into this short series thinking it was a BL because of the Actors. Boy I was wrong.
This series honestly had me hooked from episode 1. Its funny, sadish, wholesome and just a good watch.
I honestly recommend this series, if you wanna watch a series based on friendship and fears. I love how the Actors played their roles perfectly. I love how their on screen performance was great. The stories are funny and some what relatable to a certain degree. I love how it had some of my most favorite BL Actors in it. Maetee (Off) played his role so perfectly. Always had me laughing. Such a great Actor. All these Actors deserve so much praise, that if I listed how great they performed as their characters, the list would be a very long one.
OffGun, KristSingto, TayNew such great Actors. Still low key wished it was a BL :P But the friendship between them all still worked out great.
