Interminable

Tot, Top 10 BL for 2026!

This series impressed me with its insightful portrayal of gay love. By far, it is one of the best Thai BLs to have been produced in a very, very long time, with one of the better acted as well. And I do not say that for mere puffery. I was completely and totally absorbed by this astonishing historical/fantasy series. This is a drama best experienced by thinking of it as a theater-in-the-round play, rather than a lakorn. Its nuances and chains of events have to be focused in general otherwise one could get lost in its details. Perhaps that is its deficiency, although I found its cinematography uniquely inspiring. It requires a certain embracement of concepts, at least for Westerners, that are esoteric in nature. One must be absorbed by the story itself to appreciate its evolutions. Truthfully, I do not understand the criticisms of this series. It is frank and honest and an exceedingly beautifully portrayed period piece. Did it have stereotypical characters? Perhaps, but it was indeed reflective of the times. Gayness in the early 1900s was NOT accepted; rich privileged women were entitled to the man of their dreams. This story merely shows this to be the case. However, Khun Yai and Kaewta fell in love unashamedly in a time when love between two men should not have been and privileged individuals did not necessarily marry for love but for status. Karma had different notions for all of them.
One of the best BLs for 2026 and am glad to say so with complete conviction. You can read my full review at BLBliss.com.

A Slow Death

I honestly feel cheated.

After watching The Sign back 2024, I was blown away. When they announced a new BillyBabe project. I was buzzing. It was around the end of September 2024 and thinking wow, that's too long, how will I wait?

Thankfully time stops for no one and when the pilot was released early 2025, I thought, YES!! Give me that angst, tear my heart out with the aching and tragedy.

😂

If you haven't watched it while reading this. It's nothing like that.

We are back and forth back and forth, ghost fight in the middle, and then a quick unravelling of the past. With the most lukewarm ending I have ever experienced. Not even anger. Just ok, that's it. Sure.

What feels like nothing for the first few episodes, people standing around talking instead of showing us,some CGI and then it's all laid out with repeated scenes to fill in the gaps. Quick death. Quick resolve. 3rd life teaser. End

I'm genuinely disappointed in the production.

Billybabe, the costumes and the sets, all beautiful. Everything else was hacked to death

The scenes I was most looking forward to were first life Kaewta's death ( see, dramatic b!tch) and it was so anticlimactic that I winced physically. I was left to believe his killer beat him from the tree, and left him to die for DAYs in Thai heat.
No. He took a smack to the head, watched his rescuer come towards him and die. Within hours. I mean, it's a death I guess, but not I wanted 😂

Then there was a whole real life conspiracy that just stopped. None of those people were involved in Kaewta's death so why were there?

Kun Yai just died. No explanation, nothing from the monk. He just went with a tear and a wimper and Saen followed him off screen.

Also, Granny Yam was the most unnecessary character. What's was her point? She was just there randomly and dies off screen, twice.

As we move to life three, I honestly had no idea what was happening. Other than they would have to have died in order to reincarnate but I'm left wondering if Yai did.

The timelines don't seem realistic either. There's 30 years between life 1 and 2. What happened to mum. How old was she when she had Kaewta?

I'm sure the special ep would have told us something, but so they spent so much time in the first half doing nothing that they then had to chop whatever they planned and rush the ending. Where was Saen, Sophee, the needless brother and the maid. Just forgotten.

I really do love BillyBabe and I wish them all the love and luck in the future, including a better production team.

Until the time is through

There is not a single moment that I don't feel their love. The way Kun Yai looks at Kaewta really shows how mesmerized he is. Billy did an excellent job at portraying his love through all those eye gazes. HIs acting has improved so much.

It has one of the most natural kisses and NC scenes. Sensual and romantic, yet you can feel the deep love. The NC is also very well woven into the story. It gives depth to the romance, and not just NC for the sake of NC. They show you why it's called making LOVE!

This show is what makes me become BillyBabe fan!!! It's so good i put this in my rewatch list. Can't wait for more of their masterpieces and oh, I REALLY love the ending of this show. It makes me really satisfied especially the last scene. Indeed, ETERNITY means ETERNITY

P.S: Billy looking like a prince charming while Babe looking so pretty is a total bonus!

“When Love Refuses to Die: My Thoughts on Interminable”

started this series with a smile on my face, but by the end of each episode, I was overwhelmed with emotions. Imagine what life must have been like for two men in love during the early 1900s—around 1910. I’ve seen a lot of reviews where people complain that this story “should have been set in the modern era,” but they miss the deeper message the series is trying to convey.
Kaewta and Yai Samoe Jairat are lovers from that era. Even after decades, Yai’s soul remains in that house, waiting for his beloved—because he never got to see him before he took his last breath. The pain and torment of such a mind are intense; it can even trap a spirit driven by determination.
This series is incredibly compelling. It’s more than just a love story—it speaks volumes about longing, destiny, and the enduring power of love.

Chemistry with Love will always find you

I don't know why a lot of people hated on this but hear me out.

This drama has a great story even though it's not well structured, I find this structure better because it keeps you hooked until the end wanting to know what's going to happen next.

Although it has some flaws, it is better than many dramas plotwise. The love between Kaetwa and Khun Yai was true love and it is seen in their eyes.

They are both soft in their love and they both trust each other so much which is very good even though we didn't get someone's I love you.

What I really liked is that the plot was consistent and it didn't bring any unnecessary plots or filler episodes. I really like the loyalty in this drama saen was a good friend. You are going to want to shut Som's mouth but you are not alone.

It really combined tragic elements together with the happy scenes, you would be crying at the last one and be swooning at the next one but that's what ket me hooked. And I'm happy that the present gave us something to smile about.

And I can't forget about the best NC scenes which were more than real and the best really. Billy and Babe are really great actors.

I wasn't planning to watch this drama but somehow I found myself watching it and loving it. I really recommend watching and give it a chance. 🤞

Billybabe

This series is amazing, the storyline, the genre, the back-and-forth between the past and the present. It feels natural not forced and the acting by every cast member even the villain top top-notch. Billy has really improved in his acting, not that he was a bad actor but the way he acts through his eyes is amazing and the way Babe’s character acts when he can’t see the ghost is very natural. In the latest episode, when he saw the ghost (Billy’s character) inside the servant's body, I could feel his confusion. This is Babe’s second series and it’s twice as good as the previous one. I can’t wait to see more and see how they get together.

what does the director do professionally ?

It was one of this year’s series that I was most looking forward to, especially because I love BillyBabe who nailed their roles in the Sign, so it was only natural that I was excited to finally see them back on the big screen after waiting for so long (nearly 2 years to be precise). The trailer and the pilot had me super hyped as it looked like the series had everything to be another hit : a story of love that transcends time and space, beautiful traditional costumes, a couple that has insane chemistry and according to thai netz a promising director.

Nonetheless, I have to say that I got thoroughly disappointed with the series, well at least the 3 episodes that I watched. It was really difficult to get into the story and I’m one of those people that if I don’t get hooked by the 2nd episode, it’s very rare that I can pull through until the very end. Because it was BillyBabe I gave it a chance until episode 3 and it simply didn’t convince me to keep watching and spending my time on something that I'm not thoroughly enjoying. The plot had so much potential, but the execution wasn't up to my standards, so with a rather heavy heart I had to drop it…

What threw me off most of the time were the dialogues/monologues. They felt extremely stiff and unnatural, especially Kaewta’s parts. I don’t know if the script wasn’t good or if it was Babe’s execution as well as the director’s guidance that were lacking, but you could literally see that it was acted (yes i know they are acting, but it's the actors job to make us feel part of it all) and that prevented me to really immerse myself into the story and the characters.

From the few episodes I’ve watched as well as some of the clips I’ve seen on tiktok, Billy and Heng are doing a phenomenal job! Babe’s dancing looks great, but I was expecting more improvement in his acting. When I’m looking at Kaewta’s expressions and the way he talks, it feels like I’m looking at Tharn… I truly see no difference in acting between these 2 - and no I’m not hating but just stating my personal opinion as someone who can objectively judge my faves and say that more acting workshops would have been useful.

Another factor that made me drop the series was the editing as well as the camera angles, especially those random zoom ins on the faces. Considering how nice the trailer/pilot looked, it’s weird how totally different the series’s color scheme and cinematography is…

And out of curiosity I also watched the episode with the NC because BillyBabe did those scenes beautifully in their previous series “The Sign”, but in this one you can see that this was completely improvised and had no professional guidance from a director/coordinator. It looked (imo) vulgar and had nothing to do with aesthetic or good directing. I felt uncomfortable watching it and not in the “omg i’m blushing” type of way, but more in the “wtaf are they doing?” sense. The way the scenes were cut was simply a disaster; the way they jumped from one scene to the other, no coherency or fluidity (like why am I seeing Kaewta's/Babe’s ass in front of my salad when he was just one second ago drawing Khun Yai/Billy??)… i’m sorry but i’ve seen adult videos which were more aesthetic and better directed than this one. I honestly feel sorry for BillyBabe because they deserved to have a nice series with a good plot and director, but this one really isn’t doing it for me.

As a side note, for a director so widely praised by both the cast and Thai netizens, my expectations were understandably high. Yet after watching these few episodes, I find myself questioning not only his reputation, but also the public’s taste and discernment.
