    Cinematograpy: Really good
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Grim, bittersweet, jealousy,  need to rewatch

    A jealousy filled love triangle with gritty, moody and dark story elements.
    A lot of symbolism and subtextual MM romance. (One sided?)  Open to interpretation.

    9.5

    Watched: 2 times
    Cinematograpy: Amazing
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, sad, grim

    Very moody, realistic and bittersweet. A lot of pretty symbolism, metaphorical imagery and meaningful subtext.

    A show that is better when you know little about it.
    But bittersweet as hell. Still a happy, ambiguous ending.

    Watched: 4 times
    Cinematograpy: Basic, but great
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Fun, cheesy, bittersweet-ish

    Basic and a bit cliché, but feel good. Seemed to aim for this kind of vision so, success?

    Korean Drama - 2022, 8 episodes

    9.5

    Watched: 5 times
    Cinematograpy: Basic but good/fun
    Pacing: Regular
    Mood: Fun, cheesy

    The ''computer brain'' guy being more proactive was a good surprise? Brainless fun, fairly formulaic show and all.

    Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    9.5

    Watched: 2 time
    Cinematograpy: Great
    Pacing: Regular-slow (the mood switch is kinda fast, but makes sense)
    Mood: Mental health, Gloomy/empty, hopeful
    Ouch. A system error has occured. Calibrating.

    9. Love with Flaws

    Korean Drama - 2019, 32 episodes

    8.0

    Watched: 5 times (1 fully, 4 ''BL cut'')
    Cinematograpy: Great
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Fun, comedy, cheesy, bittersweet, mental health

    Not a ''BL show''. MM couple is really well written and acted. Main couple is 'eh', but the sides ones are good. (FM and MM ones)

  • The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese

    11. The Cornered Mouse Dreams of Cheese

    Japanese Movie - 2020

    9.0

    Watched: 2 times
    Cinematograpy: Amazing
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, grim, broken, philosophical, need to rewatch
    Pair main theme: Need to rewatch. Obsessive?

    The characters are morally ambiguous, obviously flawed and very well portrayed. Even considering the circumstances, I could relate to how the characters were feeling and felt bad for every characters. Even the ''girl rival'', which is usually a bland, useless caricature in ''BL shows'' was well written and I felt sorry for her.

  • Manner of Death

    12. Manner of Death

    Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes

    8.5

    Watched: 3 times
    Cinematograpy: Great
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Bittersweet, corruption, crime, can't trust any character

    Proper show with a romance sub plot that happens to be two males.
    Fun action stuff, medical pathology and three dimensional characters actually with motives beyond ''make drama because it's the third act and we have nothing''.

    Watched: 3  time
    Cinematograpy: Good
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Cheesy, philosophical, bittersweet, mental health
    Pair main theme: idk

    Fairly basic plot and setting, but pretty good. Lots of good messages to apply for your own life... Doing/learning something new everyday, not become stale in a predictable but unchallenged life, etc.

  • SOTUS

    15. SOTUS

    Thai Drama - 2016, 15 episodes

    Watched: 8 times
    Cinematograpy: Average, so-so
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Cheesy
    Pair main theme: Enemy to Lover, Warm man Cold man
    Guilty pleasure... but I really like the characters. Believable enough. Last few episodes should have been more slow-burn tho.

    That and the gang of dumbasses from Arthit's group are actually funny.

    No skinship, no forced fanservice. Hell yeah. Just too much "thai comedy" aka many sound effect.

  • A Shoulder to Cry On

    Psychological story a bit. Messed up well written characters.

    It's cheesy but me likey. I love these actors, they are fun/sweet.

    Sweet story without being too corny/dumb. Zhou Shu Yi doesn't act like a shy maiden. Zhou Shu is also bi and had a crush on his childhood friend, which is a GIRL for once. Finally.

    The other MM pairing was out of place and cringy to watch.

  • HIStory3: Trapped

    19. HIStory3: Trapped

    Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes

    7.5

    Watched: 3 times
    Cinematograpy: Need to rewatch
    Pacing: Slow
    Mood: Fun, cheesy, action
    Pair main theme: "Enemy to Lover"

    Honestly really liked it, even if some scenes were unfunny or fanservicey (otherwise would be a solid 9.5/10).

    Idc about Jack and other guy though, they were just unnecessary cheese imo.

  • The Night beyond the Tricornered Window

    20. The Night beyond the Tricornered Window

    Japanese Movie - 2021

    7.5

    More of an underdeveloped bromance. Manga was better, even the anime was.
    BUT, I see it was romance, just not ''steamy'' or well defined.

  • Addicted

    21. Addicted

    Chinese Drama - 2016, 15 episodes

    8.0

    Watched: 4 times

    Half a guilty pleasure? But I do think the characters are very well acted.
    Lots of show not tell behavioural/facial expression cues.  Pretty slow paced.
    Really liked the side characters's tales (Bao Luo Yin's dad, auntie, etc).
    One scene I hated, everything else was well done imo.

    It's a fucked up one that isnt a happy ending much.
