People around the world have different kinds of obsession with action series, especially Asian Dramas that are becoming famous day by day for their unique storylines. Asian Dramas are famous for their perfect execution and cliffhanger moments that make the viewers curious and hook them to the show.
Asian Dramas are currently doing a commendable job of serving the fans with action-packed theories and plots.
‘Not Me’ is a Thai drama that aired from 12 December 2021- 20 March 2022. It not only has a different plot, but the drama is also well-known among BL fans. The perfect combination of BL romance and action made it one of the Best Thai Dramas of all time.
The story revolves around two twins, White and Black, who got separated from each other from a young age. The divorce of their parents led to the distance between them. White flew abroad, where he lived with his father, while Black continued staying in Thailand.
Since they were twins, they were connected in a way where they were able to feel each other’s pain. After years, White decided to return to Thailand but had no idea that his stay in Thailand would look quite different from what he thought.
White got to know from one of his childhood friends that his brother was in Coma and also got to learn that he was a part of a mysterious community that might be the reason for his condition. To find the actual culprit, he begins his journey of disguising himself as his brother Black and goes back to that mysterious group to know the reason attached to his brother.
Initially, no one was able to know in the group that he wasn’t Black, but slowly, one of the group members, Sean, noticed some changes in the behaviors of Black.
White and Black, although they look identical, have completely different personalities. White slowly realized that the group wasn’t doing anything bad; they were involved in a good mission and wanted the welfare of the deprived communities of Thailand.
Sean started developing feelings towards Black, and the new personality and attitude of Black made him fall in love with White. But for many episodes, the identity of White was not yet revealed.
The drama further shows how all of them joined hands together to complete the mission, which includes major fight scenes when the group is kidnapped.
We see a development of the relationship between the twins, who haven’t met for a long time, and the fans also witness the slow-burn romance between Sean and White that became the highlight of the show.
Different from the typical cliche BL dramas, this drama also gained popularity for portraying the real truths of what is prevailing in society, like gender inequality, racism, nepotism, etc. Along with the actors, the entire series was highly praised for crafting a distinctive story.
