Eu Não (2021)

OffGun is WILDIN!!!

First of all i reall like these couple like OffGun is always best. This bl is high quality and you can see from every aspects of it. The visuals and everything was really good. The story is captivating but very political. I can say that i feel like im really familiar to Thailand’s social situations lol. Sometimes it felt too much but generally it was ok.
The only problem for me was the other straight couple like i wasn’t here for their toxic relationship and long ss scenes.
But our main couple and side bl couples story was great. Their love and relationship really served well but i feel like we could’ve seen more. + last but not least i wish we saw more Black. I loved that character but it felt like he was kinda left out. But overall really great bl, i hope we can see more from this couple!

It will be one of your favorites!

This show ties with Bad Buddy for my favorite BL and it made me fall for Gun immediately. (I watched Theory of Love afterward but I prefer Not Me). The acting, directing, and OffGun chemistry are fantastic. This series combined BL with high quality suspenseful action drama. So far, I haven’t seen any other BL come close. I’ve rewatched it a few times now and I know I’ll watch it again! The one tiny drawback is a few moments where the stunts are silly. You’ll know when you see it lol. There may be a few details of the plot that are confusing, but I think it makes it more interesting to rewatch. I truly believe that once you start watching it, you’ll be hooked!

A very different BL experience

You know how we keep complaining about Thai BL’s featuring the same old tropes and clichés? Well Not me, decided to break almost all of them.

The story of the good twin taking the place of his sibling with the intent to avenge him, is not a first in the movie/drama world, but what makes it unique is that the twins here are Black and White. I absolutely fell in love with the two polar opposite brothers who came from similar lifestyles but took on completely different perspectives on life, and who by the end of this drama choose the same goal, but different paths. They are the same, as brothers and due to their bond, that is almost unshakable despite their differences and the same time they couldn’t be more different with their personalities and how they choose to attain their goals.

Another thing I love about this show are the grey characters, namely Sean, Black and Gumpa. They seem come right off the bat as potential murderers, as if they don’t care who lives or dies for their goals, but they show immense ability to help and protect. They are all so easy to hate as well as love, especially Black and Sean.

When it comes to relationships, the contrast between White and Sean and Dan and Yok kept things lively. I didn’t feel particularly good about Gram’s connection with Eugene. It just seemed a little too disconnected.

The plot had a solid foundation but was not as cohesive as I hoped. There were a lot of moments I just wished were better explained or never mentioned at all.

The villains in this drama are mostly symbolic, as the show brings them in often but didn’t give them a chance to shine as many dramas do these days. They were meant to showcase a corrupt and privileged cycle of exploitation and crime. While that is understandable, the formulation for the villain portrayals and the actors who took on the roles had a lot of potential to make their roles stellar. The drama fell just short of good there, as it just brought on the feeling that there could be more.

Overall a good drama, and I recommend watching it to widen your BL and Drama horizons. I’ve got to say, I always thought of Gun as a cute but not particularly attention grabbing actor until now, but his performance as Black and White was exceptional.

It's different and I liked it.

This story is different than the other typical bls I'm so used to seeing. This series was great, from the storyline, to the acting, to the soundtrack. It had me on the edge of my seat every weekend, and then left me not-so-patiently waiting for the next episode. Despite my love for the series, I didn't feel fully satisfied by the end, there were some things in the ending that I feel were looked over a bit. I don't want to say it felt rushed because it seem to mostly any questions I may have had. Despite that. I feel that the positives of this drama outweigh the unsatisfied feeling I may have had towards the ending. This series truly is a must watch. I'd definitely recommend !

Add in your list

Series started at good end but the ending was little rushed. Ending was little rushed and it has left some open ends but are ok to ignore.

Overall add in your list of must watch series. The acting was quite commendable from all of star cast.

New intriguing plot for BL series not some cliche drama.

As a foreign fan i really liked the plot how black/white were portrayed in the series.

Didn’t want it to end

I have to say this is one of the best Asian Bl I’ve seen so far. There is an actual story and it made sense. Off gun chemistry is undeniable and they did a great job. There is a good balance between the romance and the political fight.

The only disappointment would be with the finale episode and how they wrapped things. Many questions still need to be answered and it seemed quite unrealistic compared to the first 13 episodes.

I get that the subject was controversial and they were lacking budget so maybe this is why they rushed the finale.

Hope to see more bl like that in the future and more of their projects.

"Not me, not you, but everyone."

Em primeiro lugar, queria dizer que gostei muito de ter assistido Not me. Esse bl rendeu muitos surtos, aflições e reflexões. A trilha sonora é boa, os personagens são cativantes em sua maioria e a história é muito interessante, porém senti que em alguns momentos seu desenvolvimento não foi tão satisfatório.

A temática abordada em Not me é de extrema importância. Fico muito feliz de assistir um drama que traga essas questões, é realmente satisfatório e espero que isso abra portas para novos bls - ou não necessariamente bls - fazerem o mesmo. A ideia geral é muito boa.

Porém, na minha perspectiva, em alguns momentos o roteiro ficou meio confuso. Haviam também algumas conveniências que me faziam não acreditar que aquilo seria possível na vida real. Entendo que é uma obra de ficção, mas é uma temática muito pesada e séria e às vezes a narrativa possuía soluções que não dimensionavam isso.

Portanto, pra mim foi um drama de altos e baixos, alguns episódios maravilhosos e cativantes, outros nem tanto. Aqui entra a minha disposição e concentração pra assistir também, porque tenho um pouco de problema com o formato de 1 episódio por semana, pois quando assisto em andamento as chances de não estar empolgada pra assistir sempre que sai episódio novo são mais altas, diferente de quando faço uma maratona.

Gostei dos personagens desse bl, a química entre o elenco foi boa e os casais também. Gostei muito de Yok e Dan, foi um casal bem legal, além de que eu adorei o Yok. Também gostei de Gram e Eugene. Quanto à White e Sean, eles ficam lindos juntos, mas por algum motivo o desenvolvimento do casal não me convenceu muito. Senti que foi muito repentino, pois eles tinham muitas desavenças e não consegui sentir o romance crescer entre eles, quando vi já estava lá. Porém como disse, quando eles entram em um relacionamento é muito bonito, as cenas dos dois juntos são boas.

Ainda falando sobre o elenco, no geral gostei da atuação, mas queria destacar o excepcional desempenho de Gun Atthaphan. Se durante o drama estava gostando da atuação dele, na reta final da história quando Black voltou eu simplesmente aplaudi. Foi possível perceber as diferenças dos dois personagens, pelos gestos, forma de se comportar e agir. Gun interpretou White e Black muito bem, além de passar toda a credibilidade nas nuances desses personagens (como White tentando se passar por Black, e Black tentando se passar por White quando falou com Todd). Enfim, incrível!!

E além disso, mesmo que tenha sido pouco mostrado, gostei da relação entre Black e White. Black foi um personagem que me surpreendeu, no fim acabei gostando bastante dele. Outro personagem que gostei muito foi o Gumpa. Ele aparece com frequência? Não! Mas sempre adorava as cenas dele.

Quanto ao final do drama... achei confuso. Senti que tudo foi resolvido "rápido demais". Não sei exatamente o motivo, talvez tenha faltado mais ação ou algo assim. Gostei que o final foi feliz, mas ele não pareceu dimensionar tudo que foi trazido durante a trama, parecia algo vazio. Não que eu quisesse que tudo fosse resolvido, afinal isso seria impossível, mas senti que faltou algo.

Por outro lado, gostei que o final trouxe a sensação de "luta contínua" pois é isso que o drama veio mostrando ao longo de sua narrativa. A sociedade é isso, as mudanças não ocorrem magicamente, mas enquanto houver o povo, ele lutará contra a opressão.

Por fim, foi muito bom assistir esse bl, tenho minhas ressalvas aqui e ali, mas foi uma experiência empolgante. Not me fala de temas importantes, fala sobre a sociedade, as injustiças e o povo. Definitivamente, é um marco na história dos bls e espero ver essas temáticas abordadas cada vez mais nessas e outras produções.

Whats not to like about this?

The acting great, the plot amazing, the chemistry spectacular. This may be one of the best Bl i have watched. The cast was great and the characters were all likeable. I like how this isnt really a Bl where they just focus on the leads kissing. The story was so great and it always made me hungry for more. The suspense, action and drama was just *chef kiss*. The background music was also great and I loved that there was no cringy sound effect. /spoiler but to be honest, the only thing that made me mad was how quicky Dan's actions was forgiven. Like I am all for forgiveness and all but bro he literally almost killed all your friends and you just forgive him like that. I would have liked it more, if they talked it out and went their separate ways, forgiven or not. cause what he did was just hard to turn a cheek tho but its still good I guess. This may be the greatest bl 2022 (for now) maybe next to bad buddy. Loved every second of it.

Not Me shows how much potential BL Thai series have - It's addictive!!!

Not Me is awesome, all the elements work well together. There's great acting, especially from Gun portraying multiple characters and personalities. There's the music that follows brilliantly love, hate, dangerous and sad scenes setting the mood perfectly and making you feel excited. And there's a story full of social justice issues being discussed, so here I have to pause to applaud and reflect on that.

It is rare for me to see a series not only tackling social issues but also making the viewers stop and think about their realities. I'm originally a jdrama fan, that's how I entered the world of asian dramas, but honestly I never really felt connected to their reality. The cultural difference is what attracted me. With Thai dramas, and more especifically BL Thai, however, it is the opposite. As a third world country citizen I can empathize and see myself in many things, and this series blew my mind. All the human rights, corruption, same sex marriage, law enforcement and issues presented here are part of my life as a Brazilian under my current government. I don't trust the police... This series really made me happy to see people fighting against the system. Kudos to the writers. It was impossible not to root for them and cry along when they got caught. The only thing that fell short for me was the open end, I really wish we could see if they're going to jail or not, and we have the unresolved issues with Todd. I could watch much more of it and there is enough material for that. You don't even get to know what happened to Tawi... Like, please, have another season or a movie to tell me?

The acting is superb, you understand both White and Black, you see the small differences in Gun's acting and you love their interactions. Gun is exceptional. I felt like hugging my sister even tighter next time we see each other, bc brotherhood should be like this, having each other's back no matter what. Off was also amazing, his Sean was so sweet under his hard skin, their love was beautiful to watch. Yok and Dan were also great, I totally understand Dan, he was forced to help the status quo, and although I'm happy they got to end up together, I wouldn't mind him dying lol. Kudos to the actors.

I can't recommend and compliment this series enough, if you ever come across this gem please don't wait and watch it. It is amazing!

Love gays in crime so much

At first I thought it would be highly dramatic because it starts with the whole twin drama but actually the story and the acting surprised me. It's pretty well executed and written: nothing better than a good twin switch envolving justice and illegal actions with a great romance in it. Really, Off and Gun have a crazy connection going on, not to mention they're acting skills that are so good I almost cried many times watching this 'cause it's so dangerous what they go through. It's impossible not to get envolved with all the characters and I love the secondary couple since all the actors and actresses do an amazing job. There are things that got me thinking like how does it not cross they're minds that Black might not be himself? I mean I would've at least thought that he lost his memory or something, but there would be no way he just "changed" like they said. That was just a detail and it can be ignored because the drama is crazy and even beautiful.

For those in need of hope and inspiration

I started watching this series back when only 8 episodes were out. I did it frivolously, because I was sure that I'd end up getting bored and dropping it after the first 2 episodes, as it usually happens to me. What a mistake.

It got me hooked and obsessed. I started living for the sundays, as it was the most awaited day of the week for me, because a new episode was comming out. I was constantly oscilating between the regret and, the excitement of getting into an ongoing, because this series was like a drug to me and I was unable to get myself together and clear my thoughts for several days after an episode would come out.

However, at the same time, I don't remember having this much fun being involved in the discussions regarding the beauty and the plot of a series since GOT. And even then, I was only reading theories, not actively participating.

Anyway, this was an amazing experience. It's absolutely obvious that this project is a product of love. You can feel that it's special from the very first moments. The music, the visuals, the plot, the characters, the ideas - "Not me" gave me so much in this moment in my life when I really needed to feel a bit of hope and inspiration.

Considering the difficulties that they've encountered while creating the "Not me" series, I think they've done an outstanding job.

So, to everyone involved in this process and to everyone who promoted this series and contributed to me finding it, Thank you.
