I didn't know anything about this show until I saw the Official Poster on Twitter even though I follow so many thai drama fan pages. And the poster, yes two man posing behind a couch on caught my attention instantly. From that exact moment I knew there is something odd about this poster, it's not that simple as it seems, and guess what I was right!


I read the synopsis and I didn't understand even a single thing, I was like so there is a guy Joe who gets into an accident and he wakes up in another man's body whose name in also Joe! I was confused as hell, that even after watching the trailer I couldn't understand anything. After watching the first episode finally my all confusions were cleared. In simple words this is a love story but love stories aren't always a dreamy one.


I know up since "Lovely Writer" era, I always liked him. Up is a great actor and already had proved it multiple times even before My Stand In but most of the people were blind not to notice it. I feel nobody else could play the role of Ming as Up did, he literally bring out the emotions of that character on the screen that audiences can feel it. Ming was only 20 years old when he first met Joe and he was even younger when he fall in long with Tong. A lonely person, who has no friends, doesn't show his love or feelings to anyone fall in love with a guy. Is society gonna accept it? But his family never will! Ming did questionable things throughout the whole drama, everyone hates him, I did too. We didn't know anything about Ming's past or his story. Why did he even fall in love with Tong. In the first few episodes, I was disgusted with Ming because to me he was a guy who loves his sister's boyfriend secretly, obsessed with Tong's back and used an innocent man's emotions for his own pleasure. So now tell me who wouldn't hate him. But Ming is guy who is in love, his pain after losing Joe, the way he kept waiting for him, the way he was ready to die for him made me realise that I can't hate Ming. Ming is a red flag, rich bitch, total asshole but his love for Joe was bigger than all those things.

MING IS A CHARACTER WHO IS EASY TO HATE BUT HARD TO FORGET.

This was my first time watching Poom and he literally stole everyone's heart. Poom as Joe was everything, he was a sunshine. Joe is kind, honest, lovely, respects everyone, even though he is an orphan he managed to be the best person ever. Anybody will love Joe as a person. But he makes stupid decision sometimes T_T


TONG is and will be one of the most hated characters in the history of BL. Like I wanted to kill him so many times. Mek Jirakit, a former GMMTV artist finally could shine again after leaving gmmtv. Mek is a good actor but since 2017 GMMTV never gave Mek any big roles or cast him in their biggest projects. Mek was villain in Angel Beside Me too, and he acts better as a villain. Mek personally enjoyed working in this drama also loved all the fame and hate he got!

All other supporting characters are also good. I didn't find Sol annoying, it's just that he realised his feelings for Joe very late. Wut is so smart and thoughtful, I liked this character too. I feel bad for May that she fall in love with a guy with Tong. Ming's big brother Mike is hot af. I don't like Joe 2.0 at all.

I liked the fact that they showed the backstory in the first few episodes not in the middle or past present past present kinda thing, because it makes the audience understand the story better. They did a good job with the cinematography, I really like Joe's house. Up and Poom literally killed it. They were on fire. The acting was awesome, like people can't complain about at all.


ONE THING I DIDN'T LIKE ONE THING that Joe was trapped in someone's body. I know the whole story is about this but Joe deserves happiness in his own body, he was treated like a replacement or a stand in throughout his whole life. And he being trapped in Joe 2.0 body till the end, getting success and love, all is scam. In the end Joe was, is and will be a stand in for the rest of his life.
