Be My Favorite

What if you could go back in time and rewrite your entire life? For Botkawi, a hopeless romantic nursing a decade-long unrequited crush on his university crush, Praemai, that dream becomes a dizzying reality. When a mysterious crystal ball (meant to be a gift for Praemai) magically transports the 30-year-old back to his 18-year-old self, Kawi sees a golden opportunity to finally win the girl of his dreams. But time travel isn't just about fixing past regrets—it’s about discovering futures you never imagined. Each twist of the crystal ball sends Kawi down a new timeline, where his scheming to land Praemai keeps backfiring in delightfully unexpected ways. Instead of winning the girl, he keeps crashing into Pisaeng, the quiet, sharp-eyed architecture student who was always just a background character in Kawi’s memories. As Kawi bumbles through repeated do-overs—trying to save his father, fix broken friendships, and erase his own insecurities—he slowly realizes that the past is not a checklist to be corrected but a series of moments that shape who we become.

With a winsome mix of comedy, heartache, and genuine warmth, *Be My Favorite* weaves a poignant story about second chances not just in love, but in life. Kawi’s journey from a bitter, self-defeating adult to a courageous young man who learns to live in the present is beautifully mirrored by Pisaeng’s patient, unwavering devotion. The series masterfully balances its supernatural hook with down-to-earth themes: grieving a parent, confronting your own mediocrity, and the terrifying, exhilarating leap of faith it takes to let yourself be loved. It’s a love story that also asks: can you ever truly change another person’s fate, or is the greatest change the one you make within yourself?
