THE REVIEW TO END ALL REVIEWS
YOOOOO, BESTIES Buckle up, because this is going to be a ride. Today, we’re talking My Stand-In—the series that had me cursing at my TV and questioning why I keep watching these damn shows. Spoiler alert: it’s a toxic rollercoaster, and yes, I loved every messy second of it.

Joe: The Human Doormat (But We Love Him Anyway)
Let’s talk about Joe, played by Poom. My mans is literally the definition of “too pure for this world.” He’s sweet, sensitive, and just out here trying to live his life. But let’s be real—he’s also a little TOO naive. Like, babes, why are you letting Ming treat you like a Dollar Store replacement for Tong? WHERE IS YOUR SELF-RESPECT?
And the sneezing during climax thing??? WHAT IN THE ACTUAL HELL? Who thought that was a cute character quirk? It’s giving “quirky rom-com protagonist,” but instead of being endearing, it’s just WEIRD. I was cringing so hard I almost dislocated my jaw.

Ming: The Gaslighting King of Red Flags
Oh, Ming. Sweetie. Honey. You are THE WORST. If there were an Olympics for being a toxic piece of shit, this man would have the gold medal, a sponsorship deal, and his own Wheaties box.
Ming is rich, spoiled, and obsessed with Tong—who, might I remind you, is HIS BROTHER-IN-LAW. Yes, you read that right. BROTHER. IN. LAW. Like, sir, go touch some grass and find a hobby that isn’t creeping on your family. And when he couldn’t have Tong, he decided Joe’s back would do. GURL, WHAT???
Every time he gaslit Joe, I was SCREAMING at my screen like, “JOE, RUN. THIS MAN WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE.” But did Joe listen? Nope. Instead, he kept going back to this walking dumpster fire like it was his life mission to be emotionally destroyed.
---
Tong and May: Certified Hot Messes
Tong, sweetie, you’re not off the hook either. This man married May for her money but couldn’t keep his damn hands off the gambling table. Like, sir, you’re already a clown—do you have to be a broke clown too? And let’s not even get into how he weaponized Ming’s feelings for him. It’s giving manipulative AF, and I hate it here.
But MAY? QUEEN SHIT. She said, “You’re trash, and I’m recycling myself out of this marriage.” Honestly, the moment she left his sorry ass was the highlight of the show. May, you deserve the world and a man who doesn’t gamble away your savings.
---
Joe x Sol: THE SHIP THAT SHOULD’VE BEEN
Sol. Oh, my sweet, sweet Sol. This man left his career in Korea to help Joe, and Joe repaid him by… RUNNING BACK TO MING. Make it make sense, y’all. Sol is a walking green flag, and Joe said, “No thanks, I like my men toxic and emotionally unavailable.”
Every time Sol showed up, I was like, “Yes, king! Save this dumbass from himself!” But Joe? Joe said, “Nah, I’m good. I’m gonna go ruin my life some more.” At this point, I was rooting for Sol to just pack up and leave Joe to his bad decisions.
---
The Plot: A Mess, But Make It Entertaining
Okay, let’s break this down. Joe is Tong’s stand-in because Ming can’t have Tong, so he settles for Joe’s BACK. (Yes, his back. I can’t.) Ming spends the entire first half of the show being a possessive little shit, gaslighting Joe into staying with him. Meanwhile, Joe is just out here like, “Maybe he’ll change!” Spoiler alert: HE WON’T.
Then, out of nowhere, Joe dies. Yup, just straight-up DIES. But the plot was like, “Joe, you’ve suffered enough; let’s throw you into a completely new identity to spice things up,” so his soul gets transferred into another actor’s body. And now he’s trying to navigate life as someone else while STILL dealing with Ming’s bullshit. The drama is so extra it gave me whiplash, and honestly? I loved every second.
---
The Action Scenes: Chef’s Kiss
If there’s one thing this show got RIGHT, it’s the action scenes. Poom SLAYED. The punches, the kicks, the choreography—it was all perfection. He looked so badass I had to pause and question if I was in love or just in awe. Poom, my dude, you need to star in an action movie ASAP.
---
Steamy Scenes: Meh.
Alright, let’s talk about the steamy scenes. Were they hot? Eh. Did they make me feel things? Not really. It was giving lukewarm tea, not boiling water. And seeing Up as a top still feels wrong to me. Like, I’ll accept it, but I won’t LIKE it.
Also, can we PLEASE get more realistic passion in these series? I’m tired of this soft fluff nonsense. GIVE ME LUST. GIVE ME DESPERATION. MAKE ME FEEL THE CHEMISTRY. This was just… fine. And fine isn’t good enough.
---
OST: Who?
The OST? Forgettable. I couldn’t even hum a single tune from it if you paid me. Moving on.
---
Final Thoughts: Chaotic, Toxic, and Weirdly Addictive
My Stand-In is a hot mess of a show, but damn, it’s an ENTERTAINING hot mess. The characters will piss you off, the plot will confuse you, and the drama will leave you questioning your life choices. But you’ll keep watching. Why? Because it’s like a car crash—you can’t look away.
Would I recommend it? Sure, if you like yelling at your screen and questioning your taste in men. Would I rewatch it? Hell no. My blood pressure couldn’t handle it.
Final rating: 10/10 for the chaos, 0/5 for the logic. Watch it at your own risk.
