ClaireBell

Top GL Series!!

This GL series is in my opinion the best GL series ever made in GL history. I have watched most of the GL series out their and all of them are amazing but this show has exceeded all of my expectations on GL shows. Everything about this series was incredible to the acting, storyline, character development, cinematography etc. I really want to give props to this story as it isn't just another haters to lovers story or childhood best friends fall in love this was a never before GL story and it showed real world scenarios. another thing is the actors in this series are all flawless, Mabel and Pangjie have undeniable, and all the other actresses/actors played a huge role through this series that it made it not feel like just about the main characters but I felt also invested into the other characters story development all and they all did an incredible job. I would love for a season 2 and get to see Claire and Bell's story develop even more because these two characters are just so incredibly brought into screen.

Holy fucking shit this was beautiful

I've never seen something this beautiful in the gl genre as a whole and I've seen my fair share of dramas.

The story is phenomenal. I haven't read the book so I can't speak on how accurate the show is to the book but it definitely holds on its own. There are hints to future events perfectly placed where you'd likely miss them on a first watch and I found the story to be complex yet simple. The premise is understandable and almost basic but as the story progresses (with near perfect pacing might I add) the plot becomes more complex and you become more engaged as to what will happen next. Let me also add that the plot twists present are truly twists that you wouldn't expect.

The acting in this drama was absolutely amazing and you truly began to feel for the characters in the show. From main characters like Claire to the background characters everything felt real. Too often actors will overplay scenes, act stoic and bored in emotional scenes or deliver lines poorly but in this show none of that happened. I actually found it refreshing to hear some actors say words in a similar way to how I would use them in conversation.

The cast was just wow. The chemistry between the mains was definitely there and so was the chemistry between a few of the side characters, not just in romantic ways. The friendly bonds between some characters felt natural and the way the actors managed to make you as a view feel as though, they had been in prison for a long time and formed real connections is brilliant. I personally loved the friendship between Mathusorn and Karaket and often their interactions had me genuinely laughing.

The productions is breathtaking. I honestly cannot put into words how much I loved going through each episode and noticing small details that make this show so amazing. From the set to the music to the lighting and even some symbolism, this show is truly beautiful. Credit is also due to the cinematographer and I think gl needs more of them because damn. More times than I would like to admit I would just pause to see the scene afront of me. From Claire in isolation to Bell in the library to the shadows and the placement of light. When people say this show is beautiful please believe them.

Lastly, how I felt when I finished. I'm kind sleepy so I'm gonna try be quick and effective but I cried. I rarely cry and the last time a show/movie made me cry was the lion king when Mufasa died but this show made me cry genuine real tears. Not of sadness but of almost happiness for the characters, their stories concluding, the happy endings and the not so happy endings. I can't put into words the feeling I felt but it was like every emotion good and bad. Happiness(that I was able to watch such a masterpiece), sadness(because the show is over), pity(for Kae iykyk) and a slight emptiness because I doubt I'll ever watch something as good as this.

Overall, (in the words of Sabrina Carpenter) please, please, please watch this because trust me when I say you'll enjoy it. If you don't, you're lying to yourself and if you find any negative reviews they're lying to you too. (I gave it a 9.5 for rewatch value because now my eyes are red and I have a headache from how much crying I did)

I could go on and on about this show but Ill stop here :)

BEST SERIES OF 2025- MUST WATCH

Overall: 10 / 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Plot

From the opening episodes, *ClaireBell* makes it clear this is not a light or comforting GL. The series drops viewers into a world that feels textured, gritty, and emotionally charged almost immediately. By Episode 2, the stakes are already high, with conflict and heartbreak firmly in place. The story moves with confidence, unafraid to sit in discomfort or let emotional weight linger.

At its core, this is a character-driven series. Claire’s journey is shaped by trauma, survival, and sacrifice, and the writing consistently reinforces how prison has altered the course of her life. Her bond with Auntie Pa’Forn adds unexpected depth, and a surprising tenderness, revealing a gentler side of Claire early in the series, giving her emotional depth beyond the survival mode of that is the “Rabid Dog”.

Bell’s arc is quieter but no less important, shaped by straightforward honesty and emotional endurance. She has a strong sense of justice and moral clarity, responding with steadiness rather than impulse. Her straightforward honesty and moral grounding give her an innocence that feels rare in a world this unforgiving, offering a counterbalance to the harsher reality surrounding her.

As the plot thickens, the series resists easy resolutions. Power, loyalty, and moral compromise are explored without softening their consequences. Antagonists are written with intention rather than caricature, making their eventual downfall feel earned. The escalation of tension is measured and deliberate, allowing revelations to unfold organically instead of relying on shock.

---

Chemistry

The chemistry between Claire and Bell is immediate and deeply believable. There’s an ease between them that comes through in shared glances, physical comfort, and moments of quiet intimacy. Their connection feels rooted in trust rather than spectacle.

What makes it especially effective is how their chemistry creates a kind of bubble around them, something intimate and almost too beautiful for the harsh world they’re trapped in. When they’re together, the noise of everything else fades, and that contrast only heightens the fragility and intensity of their bond.



Chemistry rating: Hot 🔥

---

Production

The production feels closer to an A24 film than a typical Girls’ Love series, and it works beautifully. Cinematography, lighting, and sound design are moody and intentional, reinforcing the emotional weight of each scene. The visual language elevates the story beyond genre expectations, making the series feel expansive and cinematic rather than confined.

---

Final Take

ClaireBell is a heavy, emotionally rich series that prioritizes depth over comfort and character over spectacle. It asks for patience and attention, then rewards both with layered storytelling, strong performances, and a distinct creative vision. This is an excellent series first and a GL second, one that easily transcends the Thai GL space and leaves a lasting impression long after the final episode.

Chemistry : Hot 🔥

Overall: 10 / 10 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Worth the watch? Definitely.

Rewatch? Absolutely

Incredible: "Freedom Is Not A Coincidence", says the title of the last episode

This drama made me laugh and cry and ripped my heart out and danced on it, and it did so beautifully with a moon marriage and metaphors about freedom. HAPPY END FOR OUR LESBIAN MAIN COUPLE.

It's cinematic. It's queer, it's wlw, it's lesbian, women take the stage. The women in this drama come alive through great acts of selflessness, of love, of sacrifice, and exercising their power. The women come alive through breaking the law, raging for justice in a misogynistic world, being mean, using violence as a defense; we the viewers are left to support women's rights and women's wrongs. This show is about all of that, and as a treat the women can go a little insane. The acting is top, from the main cast to the small roles, everyone gives their best and makes this world and the characters come alive.

Content Warning: sexual assault /rape, a male university teacher exploits a female student and then it ends in that very traumatic rape scene. She then murders the guy with scissors, stabbing him 19 times.

This drama is also about violence. Gendered violence connects all the women's stories like a red string. The side couples are heterosexual. There is straight romance, straight love, straight misery; and straight abusive relationships, though they take the b stage next to the lesbian relationship at the center.

This drama is also about grief. Grief for lost family members and friends and death and all that. This drama is also about freedom. Bell is unjustly imprisoned, her freedom taken away at the hands of others. This drama is also about humanity. Imprisoned, do we hold on to humanity? Love makes us monsters, and the loss of freedom makes us desperate. And yet we try to water the roses just right, so that they can bloom. There is a cat. If we can, we feed. it.

The cinematography is brilliant, the soundtrack is so fucking awesome, and there's an instant noodle ad where our girl Bell prepares the noodles and then takes a bite as the house she set on fire burns behind her, like, HELLO. That's what I want to see!!!!!

It's fucking brilliant and if you have 8 hours to spare and feel ready for the trigger warnings and their themes, you'll have a great time. I promise.

Uncut

We're only four episodes in so it's obviously slightly premature to be writing a review, but I felt ClaireBell deserves it just in case anybody is on the fence whether to watch this series. And to be honest, seeing how good it's so far, I have hard time believing they could f- this up too much. 😅🤞

ClaireBell is really special, it's not just a phenomenal GL series, it's a phenomenal drama, period. The storytelling and acting is Hormones level good. The cinematography is up there with the best movies. The music is spot on awesome. The whole thing is obviously a labor of love from Davika and the awesome team she's gathered around her.

But, you really need to see the uncut version to appreciate it fully (available free on the OneD app/site). This version doesn't only have extended love scenes (even though there's that too 😅), each episode has 5-15 min of small extensions all over and even whole scenes that are completely missing from the TV/YouTube version that is limited to 45 min per episode. These additions do so much for the pacing that it almost makes the shorter version feel like the cliff notes recap in comparison.

Don't get me wrong, the TV/YouTube version is great if that's the only thing available to you. (Any ClaireBell is better than no ClaireBell after all. 😄) But since the uncut version is so easily accessible, I hope this will convince people that the extra effort is really worth it.

Addendum after completing the series:

ClaireBell didn't disappoint. It is unbelievably good, from beginning to end. The final episode is 1 hour and 15 min uncut, that's 30 min longer than the TV/YouTube cut (!). That's just ridiculous considering I wouldn't want to miss a single minute of it.

“Soft Hearts, Slow Burn”

“ClaireBell” is one of those BLs that catches you off guard in the best way. What starts as a simple, almost innocent setup quickly grows into a story full of magnetic glances, complicated feelings, and that addictive “why am I thinking about him again?” energy. The show balances sweetness and tension so well that every episode feels like a tiny emotional cliffhanger.

The leads have a chemistry that’s soft but charged — the kind that builds through stolen looks, awkward pauses, and those tiny moments where they let their guard down for just a second. The supporting cast adds warmth and humor, making the world feel comforting even when the emotions hit harder than expected.

As an ongoing series, ClaireBell is pacing itself beautifully. Each episode adds depth without rushing the romance, letting the audience fall into the characters’ growing connection naturally. It’s tender, visually gentle, and quietly addictive — the kind of BL that becomes your weekly emotional ritual.
