What A Satisfying Ride!
I have seen dozens of BL shows, but the experience of watching My Stand In was top-tier. Whether it was watching it or turning to social media, My Stand In kept me in a 12-week choke hold. The way I felt about the characters in episode 1 was not how I felt about them at the end of episode 12. There was so much drama, but also so much character growth. I hated Ming at the beginning of the series but loved and wanted the world for him by the end.I've watched many toxic romances, but what set Joe and Ming's story apart is that the viewer watches events happen and those events change the character. Relationships that began like the Manson Family ended like The Brady Bunch. Every turn and twist was earned and felt. The chemistry between the main couple is electric. Even as you wish they would stay away from each other you understood why they couldn't.
Action, sex, messy emotions... it's got it all. I highly recommend My Stand In to everyone, it's that good.

Just A Joy
The perfect romcom! I smiled through every episode. Loved Great\Inn together and hope we get this pairing again. Though friends with benefits has been done in BL before, the way Wandee and Yak enjoyed each other’s company so much that pure joy turned to love felt unique and different.Both main characters are green flags with great chemistry and entertaining leads with pretty good comedic timing.
Also I kept singing along to the theme song. “BABY!” Will be in my head forever.

What was the point?
After loving Unconditional Love Story I was excited for this. I didn’t understand why we were watching their teenage angst and waited for a time jump that never came. I found this useless. Now I know the backstory but learned nothing new about the characters feelings. There was no movement on the romance I began in the original show. A waste.Was this review helpful to you?
