My Engineer
When Bohn, the popular engineering student, starts a revenge plan on Duen, the innocent first-year medical student, their feelings slowly start to grow through roses that Duen has to buy for Bohn every day for a month.…
My Engineer is a Thai BL series that dives headfirst into the chaos of university life, friendship, and first love, but it's the four interconnected couples that make this show a delightful and often frustrating ride. At the center are Bohn, a popular engineering student, and Duen, an innocent first-year medical student. Their story begins with a classic revenge scheme: Bohn catches Duen snooping around his belongings and punishes him by demanding a rose every day for a month. What starts as a silly prank quickly blooms into something real, as Bohn's cocky exterior cracks and Duen's gentle smile disarms him. But their relationship is anything but smooth—Bohn's raging jealousy and Duen's inability to express his feelings lead to endless misunderstandings, jealous rages, and repetitive arguments that test both their patience and the viewer's.
Fortunately, the series balances this with three other couples that each bring a different flavor of romance. Ram, a quiet and dog-loving first-year, catches the attention of King, a plant-obsessed senior who is patient, perceptive, and determined to break through Ram's walls. Their slow-burn romance is the soul of the show, filled with tender looks and wordless understanding. Then there's Mek and Boss—best friends where Mek is secretly in love with the oblivious, constantly-dating-girls Boss. Their story is full of angsty longing, but also features the first kiss of the series and a surprising confession scene. Finally, Dr. Thara and Frong appear later, introducing a more whimsical, pet-lizard-having doctor and a sweet, overly polite student whose relationship is left teasingly open-ended.
Set against the backdrop of a bustling university campus, My Engineer is a show about learning to trust, communicate, and grow up. It's flawed, repetitive, and sometimes maddening, but its heart is in the right place—especially for the side couples who steal every scene. Whether you watch for the roses, the plants, or the awkward voice-dubbing, this series offers a generous slice of BL comfort food.
