Synopsis[edit]
After his mom passed away, college student Watee a.k.a. "Tee" (Perawat Sangpotirat) has to find a way to keep the house. He then decides to rent out its rooms and ends up living with five individuals who, like him, are all nicknamed "Tee" — T-Rex (Atthaphan Phunsawat), Maitee (Prachaya Ruangroj), Tee-Do (Tawan Vihokratana), Maetee (Jumpol Adulkittiporn) and Teedet (Thitipoom Techaapaikhun). Soon, Watee and the five boarders have to deal with their different fears and eccentricities.[8]
Cast and characters[edit]
Below are the cast of the series:[9][10]
Main[edit]
- Atthaphan Phunsawat (Gun) as Watee "T-Rex" Reuangritthiroj
- A psychology student who is one of the five boarders in Watee's house; the series' narrator. T-Rex came to live in Watee's house due to his fear of living alone and out of his curiosity of knowing he is Watee's namesake. He later discovers that Watee is his half-brother.
- Perawat Sangpotirat (Krist) as Watee Reuangritthiroj
- An architecture student who owns a house near the university. Watee lives alone in his house since his mom's death, and is reserved and overly suspicious of everything. When he learns that the bank will take the house due to his late mother's unpaid mortgages, he resolves to rent out its rooms. Soon, he ends up having five boarders who are all nicknamed "Tee". He is later identified as T-Rex's half-brother and the original "Watee Reuangritthiroj."
- Prachaya Ruangroj (Singto) as Maitee
- A food science student who is the eldest of the five boarders in Watee's house. Maitee loves to cook and is very by the book. He has a strange phobia — being scared of good news. He is later revealed as Watee's childhood friend.
- Tawan Vihokratana (Tay) as Tee-Do

Notes[edit]
- ^ Although all containing the phonetically identical "tee (/tʰiː/)", the names of the main characters have distinct meanings:
- T-Rex/ทีเร็กซ์ (/tʰiː rék/): Tyrannosaurus, one of the best-known dinosaurs.[2] It is a slight twist from T-Rex's original nickname Tee Lek/ตี๋เล็ก (/tǐː lék/) which he used until middle school. Lek/เล็ก literally means "little, small".[3] The meaning of Tee Lek immediately makes Maetee think T-Rex is the youngest child in his family (Ep. 1).
- Watee/วาที (/waː tʰiː/): "A talker, a speaker, an indicator", as introduced by T-Rex in Ep. 1.
- Maitee/ไม้ที (/máj tʰiː/): T-square, a drawing and also measuring instrument.[4] Maitee is seen using a long ruler to measure food when his name is introduced in Ep. 1, and he is introduced as the "strictest in this house".
- Tee-do/ทีโด๊ (/tʰiː dóː/): The two consecutive musical notes B4 and C5. Coined in Ep. 1 by Tee-do, who proposed B4, T-Rex, who followed with C5, and Watee, who joined the two together.
- Maetee/เมธี (/meː tʰiː/): Learned man; sage.[5] He is introduced as "a top scriptwriter" from his faculty.
- Teedet/ทีเด็ด (/tʰiː dèt/): Good strategy.[6]
