BLove

MEOW **** 10/10 for the kitty play. That caught me off guard!

And the best line in the history of BL: 'Ey, does your shirt not have a button?' 

This one is colourful. Nevermind the story. Uea is beautiful. Every ounce of him exudes this and they let him pose like a model. A LOT.  Which is good because his acting is nothing special. 

P'King bringing back the guy-liner is also quite funny.

I am in this love/ hate reationship with MixEarth. I watch all their stuff, the stories are novel, romantic, more real-life with less drama, great writing/directing, relatable characters, growth & connection, and intense chemistry, but I always end up finding them a bit boring and slow. Same here. Yet I can't wait for the next one. Maybe because it doesn't tick any of my kink boxes and is just really amazing soul food.

really well done body switch

pop-up BL. low budet, superficial plot developement, even insta-love. But really enjoyable. XD juxtaposed much?

Not bad for a Manga adaptation.

I actually loved the idea and dynamic of this. But it's a bit rushed at points and confusing. Mark was a great character.  They announced a special which would be an exptention but no airing date so far

It needs 2-3 eps to get used to and the HEA was very sudden, but I loved that they show the internal dialogue of both leads.

ps. How does he make all his suits look like PJs?

This is so sad it completely overshadows the BL-part. Watch this because it's great. Not because it's BL.

I cannot look past that unfortunate haircut.

Formula17 was the first BL I ever saw. Not just Asian.

Curious picture story format. Bad case of Second Lead Syndrome

actually a bit non-descript

based on a historical person. filmed like a tale. no great depth

sort of feels like a prequel to HIS - the movie. It's not, but you could watch it that way.  The end was a bit abrupt.

mini series. butterflies and coffee romance. open-end

very raw & intense. Could have been longer

mini movie. Same feel but not as good as 'Just-Friends?'

MAME gone mainstream. Puppy love.
Prapai had huge potential and I loved the one night stand story but thereafter he's just too white knight

ah... this one had mixed reviews. Fortunately the Jongjie/XingSi storyline is my kink- so i loved this one. The rest is disgustingly sweet ;)

I like the premise but the way they fall in love is so ... unimpressive. I prefer my coming-of-age stories to have a bit more hormones involved.

I wanted to like this one, because it was beautiful to see Pei Jia fall in love with his co-star, but the whole drama towards the end did nothing for me.

manga adaptation, but charmingly done.

This one has nothing on BoysLockdown. Some cute scenes.

Nice slow burn. Is the older man / younger man dynamic experiencing a renaisssnce in 2024? Very thoughtful romance scene.

I actually perferred the second couple here, because the Sea/Neil was too much healing all around. Watch this in one go, otherwise you'll never finish.

decent, but nothing special. There a much better food JBL

TikTok web format. 5min eps, not high-end but really well executed considering

Is it even BL if the soul occupying the body is technically female?

faux-incest really works for me

that took a bad turn towards the end. Earth and Mix get cast in these insanely romantic, emotional, silent-waters-run-deep-plots.

cute mini movie

When Asami smiles just once in the later episodes, I was like: it must have been so hard to have zero facial expression up until now. Why not more smiling??

look beyond the childish title. Watch for the original OffxGun. Gun on the offense

Insta Love in 2025. But cute romance

Gun and OFF are awesome as usual. I like this slightly emotional abuse to their dynamic. But here their story is just superficial. Nothing compared to theory of love

When I see people screaming 'toxicity' in the comments over and over - I'm like: 'where? where??'. The twisted relationship works for me, but I had some issues with the storytelling.

the NSFW scenes are barely  PG 12+ - even in the uncut version. But I liked Day's fixation with Itt's neck. I thought the two side couples acutally had much better chemistry.

The best thing about this drama LSS fighting people & the ridiculous pyjamas.

I liked the premise of exploring relationships and characters through the way they have sex and not showing it as something holy like the final result of a relationship. But the 'thriller' backdrop story was weak and spoilt the whole thing towards the end.

it can hook you for a few eps with the flirting but then the story just has nowhere to go. And that jawline really doesn't work for me.

this makes me cringe so hard, but you kinda keep on watching. better than average manga adaptation.

Cool premise but the betrayal twist was so off-putting I barely managed to finish, even though I could understand where he came from.

yay for rocking the sub-genre!

time-travelling theme.

I can't even remember watching this - lol

Oho - look at Ohm suddenly showing off all kinds of cheekbones and flirting skills! He really outgrew the gentle features of He's coming to me. 

Strong start. Watch for the iconic kiss in ep 5. Thereafter your either love it or hate it.

zero chemistry and weak plot. Turns out Ohm needs a strong acting partner. Within 2 eps Ohm-Nannon had a strong relationship established in Bad Buddy. Still waiting for Leng and Ohm to create that kind of tension. Either may be replaced with a slice of white toast...

It's not actally bad. Better than Be loved in House: I do. Which is the same crew. But it's a bit bland

is this even BL? I think they had to cast GunOff and pepper in 3' of extended eye contact per episode just to get this plot sold.

In BL you can find bad writing, bad acting, bad chemistry any day... but this is the first time I see bad romance. Everything about this is wrong.

4 eps of this was quite enough. But I liked the chemistry and muted colours of the post editing. Gives it a retro feel.

Surprisingly good despite the utter lack of plot

oh well. must watch for BounxPrem but apparently they were wasted on a bizarre and idiotic plot

Sweet romantic awakening, I suppose.  The leads give me nothing, though

somehow the age-gap is awkward... or they just don't feel comfortable acting together... idk

Gun as ML! But I think I preferred Gun as hapless, clueless senior getting seduced by a younger man. Very odd chemistry in this one and the back story is a bit ridiculous.

You know it's GMMTV when the mood-lighting is over the top colourful.
Top notch chemistry but it's endlessly boring towards the end. Barely finished.

dnf. sue me. Probably works for most people, though.

Sorry, were you expecting a wholesome relationship or a morale at the end?  What part of the title gave you that misguided idea?   The problem is : what sissy-crap is this?

I am constantly going back and forth between dropping and binging. This has strong lakorn feel - not much to look at in terms of cinematography or editing. Bouncing between brutal and cringy. I think Film's acting is what makes this difficult to watch for me. He borders on loony lawyer, although I am given to understand his smile is supposed to be sexy. He is more authentic later but he still shows those lewd smiles in the most inappropriate moments. I am all for ravishing the drunk, but I am surprised that i draw the line at seducing a man who is emotionally wrecked by the death of his baby niece. And the abused rich boy and his bodyguard should be my kink but somehow that's even worse of a plot line.

Jam is actually a very good actor and makes the whole thing worth watching.

it was awful. I loved it.

the writers sat in a room and Jon from accounting said "BDSM Mafia Boss". one person said "what about the storyline?" "don't worry about it" Jon from accounting replied. "the hornies don't care about that." and they really stuck to that because except the lil quarrel they had in the end, nothing really happened. Until Jon from accounting said "you know what. throw in a threesome, but don't build up or follow up on it at any point ok?" and the room said "Sure thing, Jon".

dnf. I am too old for this type of young rom com. Or it's too bad. idk

I am just not an anthology lover.
Ep1: story: meh. romance: soso
Ep 2: -
Ep3: for Boun x Prem - very nice dynamic. they are so adorable.

Nice flirting- but overladen with side stories.  

mediocre across the board.

bland.

boring

12 eps of 45' would have given them A LOT of room to tell a story. They choose not to. Actually, NOTHING much happens. Watch it with your brains switched off. It's pretty enough and the uncut version might actually be worth it for the steamy scenes as they carry a lot of the story. 

dnf. manga adaptation. Need I say more?

I like that strongberry is finally producing long series, but this is too vanilla. The characters are too similar. And then one marshallow is turning the other into a copy of himself

dnf. manga adaptation - the usual problem: what works in panels does not work irl

dnf. Another cheap, pop-up BL from Taiwan. Didn't even get around to seeing their chemistry as I as too bored before they even had any scenes with extended eyecontact. It's too cringy with these ridiculous plots. I don't even know if it's the acting or the script... it feels fake, although I think it might have worked with more tension.

Another man loves robot plot. They are a bit low budget and have plenty insta love, but kinda cute if you can buy into the premise. Sadly it is even worse than the first installment

Reviews foreshadow a big disappointement. I should have believed them.
Reasons this didn't work for me: too many too count. Reason I still gave 4 stars: Toptap and Mike

30 min into the movie and nothing has happened yet. ... booooring

dnf. nil character depth, no recogniseable storyarch, and sooo old-fashioned for a 2021 BL.

dnf. started well enough but derailed quickly. No pull.

with a little bit of effort this might have been better off as a psychological thriller. so bad. so much crying and long stares and dragging

Yes well. It has Poom. 

Another Foodie BL that features exrtemely little food and extremely little plot and Dean 2.0 who meets all his romantic partners while grocery shopping.

 There are no cats. No one is a wer-cat either (I thought that would be it)

If you’re looking for a show with cute animals in it, you won’t find it here, and you’re honestly better off just watching dog or cat videos on Youtube.

dnf. I kinda liked it in the beginning but I have no patience for Jiwon after they get together. Sorry, but you can't sell me his behaviour as shy or innocent. Jungwoo is a white flag all around, solid, dependable and firm in what he wants; he all but comes out in an TV interview but Jiwon projects all his own insecurties onto Jungwoo and calls it 'concern for Jungwoo' thereby showing no respect for what Jungwoo wants or says and constantly hurts him even in front of their friends. Jungwoo tries every romantic tac in the book and Jiwon either through obliviousness or desintrerest ruins all of them. That is painful to watch. 

It's cheap, and cringey. The story is ridiculous and the acting very stiff. Watch this if you want to be cheered up and smile at how bad this is.

10 out of 10 for the intro and the STAIRCASE OF LOVE. 

Top: hiring a porn movie director as an advisor.
Flop: literally everything else: Sorn's ego trip, Jun is obviously not able to consent to the kind of power dynamic Sorn's creating.  we are told he likes Sorn, but other than the F*** it is not claer why. Then, on multiple (!) occasions we see Jun is not even enjoying that, so what is the point? 

And the GL story is the worst I have seen todate (dead fish meets Barbie)

dnf. Fluke is so typecast in his PJs, it made me sad. I usually like paradox timey-wimey plots, but I got hella confused here and wasn't invested enough to figure it out. Maybe if they'd given this more temporal room, now it's just instalove with a time-shift twist.

dnf.

Should have been been Saint x Zee. Unfortunately script like a fanfic of a 12-year old,  if you can't find a better cliffhanger than Zee looking at you like he will eat you right up, you really really really have nothing to say.

dnf. this is definitely not a bingeable show.
High production but so far It's sadly going to lengthen my already overly long list of mediocre BLs which seems to be a specialty in Thaïland. Not great, not fun, but watchable when you have some time to waste.

The shy virgin trope with the vanilla plot is just too much. The novel it is based on is supposedly basically porn. Not sure that would have been better.

dnf. 

Remake of Japanese original. This role does not fit Singto to a t. He's just too teddy bear to pull off the irresistible gay conquerer. I wish I could give this a higher rating...

dnf. Foody BL. Interesting dynamic. #AbsBeforeEp3

dnf. hell no.

dnf. the speed of this is positively glacial and the chemisty is equally frosty. But the foodporn and music are nice

the japanese really have no filter.

child abuse galore. yes there are 2 men in a relationship but really that's not the point. this is not bl.

dnf. oh lord. I can't even. Sooo overacted.

dnf. I barely managed 4minutes of this. I thought it might be watchable bc of Perth but really I cannot. Book&Force are a deal breaker for me.

dnf.

mixed feelings. Krist/Singto are legendary. Not sure they can delivery the same glorious performance that we remember. If this turn out a falling short I might be too disappointed.

damn. I was hoping for a mature plot. exes coming back together, but also some light hearted feels. 

The role of Tawan is not fleshed-out. He does nothing a professional producer should do, instead alternating between mopey and cheeky (read: inappropriately handsy)  and simply standing around like a potted plant. If they had given Tawan more spine / maturity letting him actually help Phi to turn his character around through a reality check that would have been nicer. why neglect a major role like that?

This is not the ex morning. This is a soft-boyfriend-still-madly-in-love morning.  Also, let us all admit that Singto is not a great actor. They have most chemistry and authenticity in their funny moments when they get to joke around.
And what is the use of the little fan girl? She adds nothing to the story - seems her sole purpose is to distract from the fact that there is total lack of substantial plot between Phi & Tawan in the 'now' timeline (ps. I can do my own squeeling off-screen, no need for an on-screen squeeler to cue me in)

 The writing in general seems off-balance. Any event in the 'now' timeline seems solely used to cue in a backflash. and the sole puepose of the backflash seems to be fanservice. meh. I want to see to exes, re-connecting, seeing how they 'still' fit together after many years and in a professional environment fraud with tension. I have so many problems with this show: clichés, too much riding SOTUS coattails instead of producing something to stand on its own.

GMMTV 2025 - I get it. FirstKhao are versatile. But this? Isn't it wasteing their skill?

GMMTV 2025 line up. Can it possibly be as good as Season1? But it has MixEarth... But it also has OhmLeng and did they really reuse the OST?

GMMTV 2025 line up. I wasn't gonna watch, but the trailer is intruiging. Gun is a superp actor and his roles are deep and interesting (The Trainee aside). Same director as NOT ME and similar feel.
