BLs everyone likes but I don't!
-
1. My School President
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Cute boys, some bland music and a lot of boredom....
-
2. Unknown
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Toxicity up to 200, pushy younger man, the older one suddenly looses his backbone and succumbs to bullying, father figure worship mistaken for love, weak characters, maudlin music telling us what to feel....
Funny how I hated this when I watched it and yet I still remember it vividly two years later!
-
3. The Untamed
Chinese Drama - 2019, 50 episodes
A difficult watch for the uninitiated into the xianxia/wuxia (still don't know the difference and not interested to know) mythology. Messy storytelling, bad acting, lovely music, low budget production.
I read the book (well not entirely: I literally dropped it around ch 100 when it suddenly turned from shounen ai into yaoi and i never picked it up again!lol) before watching it and was glad for it because I would not have understood anything.

4. Word of Honor
Chinese Drama - 2021, 36 episodes
A pale copy of the Untamed. I liked the epilogue better than the whole series: I could not feel any chemistry between the leads.
-
5. The Eighth Sense
Korean Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
There was sea, beach, surfing, a small pale ML, mental health problems and a shrink. And one great song. Some nice shadowy cinematography. The rest? Forgettable....
-
6. Blueming
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
I watched this four times and still do not remember what it was about. This drama left absolutely no impression on me whatsoever!
-
7. I Told Sunset about You
Thai Drama - 2020, 5 episodes
Ugly crying killed this for me. That was such an unlikeable character. PPKrit's character on the other hand made this worth the watch but the decisions he made (Bas!) were just another nail in the coffin.
It was here that I saw my first underwater kiss: pretty great!
-
8. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Enemies to friends to lovers and what else. Great rooftop confession scene but not enough to make it memorable.
-
9. What Did You Eat Yesterday?
Japanese Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Nobody can convince me that these two men have been in a long term intimate relationship. They act more like platonic lovers aka roommates. Cringy as hell!
-
10. Why R U?
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Is there supposed to be a story there? Lot of men frolicking around, some playing a guitar (what else?) or making faces because of the sheer gay panic! Awful!
-
11. Theory of Love
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
I loved the titles of episodes (films). And that's it! The relationship is beyond toxic and nothing redeems the bullying.
-
12. HIStory3: Trapped
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
Why do cops and robbers here look 15? Unconvincing!
-
13. SOTUS
Thai Drama - 2016, 15 episodes
Hazing is never ok. Not even in a love story with zero chemistry.
-
14. My Love Mix-Up!
Japanese Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
I started watching this about 5 times: I just could not get used to all the manga/anime antics and grimaces.
Some say the Thai version is awful as well.
