This was FANTASTIC! We need more of this!
This was absolutely brilliant! I’m surprised it was never on my radar. And the message behind it is so good too. What a find this was….Loved every single minute. And the cast did a fantastic job! The actor who played Black & White did a terrific job. I definitely need to check out his other stuff.I’m contemplating watching the other drama he did with the actor who played Sean, but the reviews are putting me off, cause I can’t stand storyline with toxic beginnings. But they had such a fantastic chemistry that I’m willing to watch it just for them. Hope they get to do more projects.
Also the soundtrack to this was so good. Hats off to whoever was in charge of that, cause I was Shazamming pretty much every new song that came on.

One of my favorites - What I like/not like list
I liked:- The story. Be gay, do crime, fight capitalism. Yes.
- The acting, especially Gun's acting. He did an amazing job!!
- The script. It shows an understanding of the topics, which I always very much appreciate, but in this particular case I think it was decisive to make it a good story and not a cringy one.
- Honestly, loved the series.
- Black and White characters, and how Black was with everyone else vs his brother.
Not fond of:
- Them showing their tattoos and wearing flashy clothes and masks while doing their activism. It doesn't make sense in reality.
- The abrupts changes and stops of music, not fond of music production here in general.
- Yok and Dan getting back together. Still I think it was adequate because of the message of the story, but ugh, cops and betrayal, not a combination I can forgive easily.
- Gram and Gene getting together at the end. I love Gram, but girl, you can do better than keep dating the same group of friends.
- As always, I'd liked more development, more episodes. But it's ok.

Music saved this series
I was hesitant to watch this because I am not a Gun fan. I know he is popular but, for me, he only has one face and that is a blank stare. He did not win me over.On the other hand, the rest of the cast was great. I was pleasantly surprised at how good Off is in this series. Plus, First kept me hanging in there every episode. His emotional acting in the hospital was unbelievable. I love him.
The story was very confusing at times and I didn’t know what they were doing and why. But it was still exciting to watch.
The music was outstanding. GMMtv production is always great with the best quality video, locations, and music.
I won’t rewatch this but it still gets a 7.

One of the best action series in BL history.
I think this is the best BL ever.The story is amazing, actors are perfect and actions are understandable.
The only thing that bothered me a bit was the storyline between Black and Gram. I saw that people say that Gram was "Straight-washed", but i dont think that's necessarily the case. Although I think it's a bit odd for Gram to be in a relationship with the ex of his especially close friend. I mean they spent every single day together and are kind of close, so why?
However, the thing I enjoyed the most was the Story between White and Sean. Their Chemistry was amazing, the way they cared for each other was just adorable. I loved every single second of them.
I also really enjoyed watching the bond between Black and White and how it deepens throughout the series.
And OMG, THE MUSIC???? 10000/10

A FUCKING MASTERPIECE!!
I love this so much, it gives me so much comfort and I love the fact that the couples aren't the main plot properly, like I didn't even know that there'd be a couple when I started watching. The way they talk about social problems is amazing. I wish we had YokGram tho, they'd be perfect. Even the OST and soundtrack are amazing.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
One of the best drama I have watch!!
So this is the first time ever I’m writing review so I might Not be able to include everything I wanna do. I’m new in bl world and I have watched multiples of drama and only few of them good stories and plots . And to be honest ‘Not me’ is the best one. In ‘ Not Me ‘ every casting is too good. All the casting’s acting are so on the point like everyone has portrayed every emotion on the point like from faith to disappointment, trust to betrayal hate to love happiness to sadness rage to revenge, like every emotions are so good as you can even feel them. And yes this is the only drama that I have watched where there’s nothing cringe especially the female cast. The story is on the spot and the plots are so good.The very first drama of OffGun I watched was ‘theory of love’ and they has been my favorite since then. They portray every character so naturally especially ‘Gun’ . He has done acting so naturally like it never felt on and off. As you watch his every drama you’ll get that. And in ‘Not me ‘ he has done his best work. He had shown two different characters and both are on the top. I have never seen the cold and rude side of Gun and he totally nailed the character. I really want him to act such more character like gangster damn!! (Actually I’m writing this review to praise ’Gun’s’ work like he is the show’s stealer and he deserves every compliment)
As a whole the whole drama is so good. You’ll never feel bore or anything but excitement. I’m little bit confused with the ending but yes overall the drama is on the top.

A series worth remembering for years to come!
I finished this series a few minutes ago. and am so happy to have found it!The plot was what some would call a "basic" idea, but it impressed me beyond words. - It follows White and Black (yes, I know; who names their kids Black and White? But bare with me, because it works really well for them), a pair of twins that got separated ten years ago because of their ability to feel the other one's feelings; ex. when dying or feeling extremely happy. But Black gets into an accident, making White join his gang to find out who it was who hurt Black - while pretending to be Black, aka taking his place.
Some hiccups of the production would be the extremely abrupt jumps from scenes. It made me kinda confused the first few times, thinking my computer was acting up. But if you just look past it, I'm sure you'll adore the series. The soundtrack is beautiful, the plot well written and the characters are rounded with lots of perspectives of life.
And the ACTING; yo! Gun Atthaphan's acting gave me chills at times. Especially when he had to act like two completely different characters (the twins), even sometimes in the same scene at once. He's so f*cking talented, it's beyond anything I've seen in a Bl Drama before. He made me love White and despise Black, being the same face for both of them. - And the other actors, and actresses (there's even a trans character!) are really good too. But Gun stood out to me, not gonna lie.
The series also takes up some interesting perspectives on life, especially societal struggles, making you reflect on your own society and laws. It shone a bright light on rich people acting above the law, while the lower society had to take the scraps thrown at them. - But it also shows no regard to whether the characters in question are gay or not. There's not a single character that acts up when two guys enter a relationship, and it's such a nice change from past BL dramas, not gonna lie.
If you've read this far; please give it a chance. I promise that you won't regret it! It's a "mafia" gang, going up against the rich, with QUEER sprinkled all over the place. What more can you want?
What I loved most about this series though was the fact that I really couldn't see where the plot was leading at times. I always tend to have a gut feeling about where the characters are heading. But this one made me think and think and think, making me crazy at times. And that was really special to me, making the series ten times more enjoyable.
GO WATCH IT NOW!

Still the most unique and brilliant BL to this day
Not Me was one of my first ever BLs from GMM TV, I watched originally it as it was airing. Let’s just say anything after it seemed very basic and also boringI’ve never seen a BL since which has such an incredible and unique story, which shows the issues in Thai society and politics
The characters are also really enticing, and the acting is simply one of the best I’ve seen in a BL. Gun nailed it as Black and White, and Off too as Sean
It sure isn’t for everyone, but it’s a masterpiece you should watch

A drama you must not miss!!!!!!!!
I recently finished watching this show and believe me when i say this show i literally wholesome. It has everything you need in a drama whether the story, music, acting ir chemistry.This show was a rollercoster ride for me especially in the initial episodes where there was constant anxiety of gun being caught by them. I even left this show after 2 ep because of the constant fear of gun being caught . Still finishing this show was the best decision ever. This show not only shows intense chemistry but also touches many social issues which are present not only in Thailand but also many other countries.
The actors of this series were really good to... They expressed every emotion to the point, their anger, hatred, innocence, fear and many more.
The music choice in this series was awesome just awesome especially in the fireworks scene of yok and last kiss scene.
What i really liked was that they didn't only showed fight and violence but also art as a way of protesting.
The ending was pretty satisfying for me. It was real . As the issues mentioned were quite huge. It was to abolish or change the system and if in the ending everything would have settled it may seem unreal. But they showed that the fight is still on and change is being made although slowly.
In the end i would like to say you must really watch this show and it has high rewatch value.
Forgive me if i said anything wrong as its my first review and also that english is not my first language.

Be Gay, Do Crime, Change The World
Yeah so I think this show permanently broke something in my brain and I have absolutely no regrets. Its reputation as a masterpiece is well-deserved; from the cinematography, to the music, to the acting... it's all absolutely fantastic.Gun is obviously brilliant as both Black and White, but I would like to give a special shout-out to literally everyone else on the cast - they all deliver absolutely devastating performances that genuinely left me breathless on occasion.
The story is a perfect blend of action thriller, political commentary, and queer romance which feels suspenseful, believable, and thoughtful all the way through without ever becoming repetitive or preachy.
It addresses power struggles, systematic exploitation, oppression, and the politics and logistics of revolution unflinchingly and highlights the practical and moral complexities of these issues.
Even non-violent retaliation against an oppressor can have far-reaching and often harmful consequences for the people being oppressed.
Solidarity and community are one of the most powerful tools for enacting change.
Art and satire as acts of rebellion can be both entirely inconsequential and immeasurably impactful.
Revolution often cannot happen peacefully, change demands chaos and force.
In other words, Nuchy went straight for the jugular with this show, and to devastating effect.
My personal favourite thing about the show, and I think perhaps one of the main reasons it has resonated so strongly with so many people, are the strong themes as of art as a vehicle for change and revolution woven through the story.
Eugene's dancing, Namo's murals, the protesters' songs, Unar's street art, Yok's Proletariat Expressionism showcase (which was an absolute punch to the gut for me personally and made me want to jump up and race to the nearest art museum) ... the ways in which the series showcases art as rebellion are myriad.
But the most impactful of them all is clearly Unar and Yok's storyline. Not only is it beautifully told and deeply emotional, it also lends a lot of depth to the show's uncompromising ACAB stance by showcasing the fallacy of trying to change a corrupt system from the inside out and how oppressive power structures can do almost as much harm to those they benefit as to those they exploit. A sort of nuanced "the patriarchy hurts men too"-type look into police brutality, which I personally appreciate greatly, even if I do wish they had explored this subplot and topic more in-depth.
In short this show is, unironically, a revolutionary work of queer cinema which, while it is not entirely without flaws, is more than worth your time. I highly encourage anyone who hasn't seen it to go and watch it right now.
