“Me and Who” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)

Rich or poor, good or bad, all lives lived have something people struggle with. It’s easy to relate to those who fight each day to survive, but money doesn’t decide how much a life is worth or how much a person can love. That’s the fascinating contrast at the heart of Me and Who, a new Thai BL adapted from the web novel by wickedwish_.

The series follows Phopthorn, a man crushed under the weight of misfortune, who suddenly finds himself reborn in the body of Apo Yue, a billionaire with a handsome Mom Rajawongse fiancé, Suriya Suriyadechakorn, who also happens to have the unnerving ability to read minds. What begins as a fake marriage between the meticulous Suriya and the eccentric, newly-embodied Apo quickly spirals into a mix of comedy, chaos, and romantic tension.

Starring Big Thanakorn Kuljarassombat as the sharp yet secretly tender Suriya and Park Anantadej Sodsee as the high-energy, unpredictable Apo/Phopthorn, the series leans into humor and heart.

I’ll be honest, there have been plenty of moments in my own life where I’ve wondered what it would be like to swap places with someone wealthy, someone who didn’t have to wake up at 3 a.m. just to keep the lights on, someone who had more than weekends to breathe. And sometimes I’ve wondered what it would be like to read minds, to know exactly what people think behind the words they say. Me and Who takes those kinds of “what ifs” and spins them into a fantastical, playful drama that doesn’t take itself too seriously, but still tugs at your heart with its chemistry and charm.

This is my first time seeing Big and Park on screen, and I was pleasantly surprised by both. Park’s comedic timing is razor sharp, his expressions selling every outrageous moment, but what makes it work so well is how Big grounds it. His performance as Suriya balances that chaos with romantic tension and quiet vulnerability, giving the series an addictive push-and-pull dynamic.

The first three episodes aren’t perfect. The transitions can feel abrupt, and there are moments where you just have to let go of logic to enjoy the ride, but that’s part of the fun. It’s a drama that thrives on suspension of disbelief and rewards you with laugh-out-loud moments, playful banter, and sparks of romance that are only going to heat up from here.

What stands out most for me is the mix of humor and intrigue. There are hints of angst and plenty of twists ahead, but at its core, the show doesn’t shy away from simply being fun. And right now, that’s exactly what I needed. My day job in animal rescue and nonprofit veterinary care means I see as much cruelty as I do kindness, and it leaves me craving something lighter to balance it out. Me and Who has been that perfect reprieve, a reminder that storytelling can both entertain and restore a little joy.

So thank you, to the cast and crew, for delivering something that’s equal parts funny and heartwarming. I’m already rooting hard for Suriya and the new Apo as they navigate this faux marriage and growing attraction.

For a series that will make you laugh one minute and squeal along with Butler Francois (Poppy Ratchapong Anomakiti) the next, check out Me and Who now on WeTV/Tencent Video.
