1. Checkered Shirt
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
1. April
Looks like its a series that is planned for 8 eps and the awkwardness and of the queer revelation was played well especially with the looming military service. 4 27.02.25 It looked like Suk had finally managed to tell one story in 8 episodes and then instead of wrapping up in the finale they go for an expanding cliff-hanger. They manage to find good actors but the writing lets them down every time. 8. 01.04.25

2. Xia Ri Qing Shu
Chinese Drama - 2023, 88 episodes
1. April
Lighthearted and sweet. A easy to watch school romance. Good actors bringing a predictable plot to life. 88. 01.04.25
-
3. Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island
Chinese Drama - 2025, 7 episodes
6. April
A coming of age romance. An appreciation of life as it happens. Beautifully artistic. 6. 06.04.25

4. All for You
Korean Drama - 2025, 3 episodes
12. April
Two people at different speed corresponding to their social roles. 1. 28.03.25 Simple story with bad subtitles. 12.04.25
-
5. Perfect 10 Liners
Thai Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
23. April
This went from tedious to watchable to enjoyable light entertainment. The colours were nice but its too long. Three discrete seasons with a potential for infinite continuation would have been a better choice in my opinion. 24. 23.04.25

6. My Enemy Has a Crush on Me
Chinese Drama - 2025, 19 episodes
24. April
perfect slice of liferfectly absurd mistaken identity office romance 17. 24.04.25

7. Exclusive Love
Taiwanese Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
25. April
This is too drawn out. They probably could have made this 10 eps. 9. 04.04.25
It became worse how can this be a satisfying romance when he did not overcome the trauma of the accident and now the additional death. The business side of things remains too vague too make any sense. 10. 11.04.25
It felt like phone call losing connection again and again the main storyline was perplexing at best and the way they used the disabled brother was enraging. The side couple was cute and a recognisable BL story but to disconnected to make it feel like one story. 12. 25.04.25 -
8. Close to You
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
26. April
Story 1 has such a gentle confession of mutual affection. A nice invitation to rest, take a breath and appreciate life. 8,5 2. 15.03.25 The second story is more active and explicit in its romance working with commentary 4. 29.03.25 Four short story about finding each other. A soft and even hopeful anthology 8. 26.04.25

9. Heesu in Class 2
Korean Drama - 2025, 10 episodes
26. April
What a teenage mess. Underpinned by cosmic methaphors and colours. Its good. 3. 04.04.25 The social comparison, the light colourwork, and the characters all make this a treat to watch. 5. 11.04.25 A "realistic" exploration of a gay highschool experience, I could relate so much to. The colour work and astronomy metaphors and the fleshed out characters and their relationships made this a standout piece of media. 10. 26.04.25

10. Lost in the Woods
Thai Drama - 2025, 7 episodes
4. Mai
basic setup and beautiful scenery 1. 20.03.25 Beautiful scenery and gorgeous shots. A story about healing and thats a bit to erratic about what it cares about. 04.05.25

11. Something's Not Right
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
11. Mai
Between the serious parts about sorting years of friendship from your feelings for eachother its so funny. 2. 17.04.25 I enjoy so much if the lighting wasnt so difused I would be making so many gifs. The black/white blue/red dichotomy sweetens it. 3. 23.04.25
I enjoyed it for its observations on perspective. But it absolutely fails at being a romance which it clearly wants to be. It would be comical if if it wasn't so unsatisfying. The visual production especially the colour and light work but also the acting is very good. 8. 11.05.25 -
12. Business as Usual
Korean Drama - 2025, 6 episodes
18. Mai
Appealing setup and promising colours. But the pacing and character development were lacking. 7. 18.05.25
-
13. Never Fair
Korean Drama - 2025, 4 episodes
28. Mai
Suk doing openended variations on its theme. It had an interesting start but ending on the confession when that should be the beginning of the emotional arc this story was teasing reinforces that Suk cannot match up its story aspirations with its constraints. 4. 28.05.25

14. Infidelity, It's a Disease
Chinese Drama - 2025, 4 episodes
29. Mai
Its fun but it lacks something to latch onto. 4. 29.05.25
-
15. Fight for You
Taiwanese Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
6. Juni
An obvious black and white colour scheme reflected in the narrative and the main characters names. 2. 28.03.25 A white light episode 11. 30.05.25 A cute series with nice core story but the locations and their associated plots feel too insular. 12. 06.06.25

16. Tengu no Daidokoro Season 2

21. Loy Kaew First Love
Thai Drama - 2025, 6 episodes
21. Juni
At its core its about the power of love and finding love and living in a small and interconnected place. It has a big cast of characters with an adequate net of relationships and motivations. Because of that the story felt a bit overextended and the overly theatrical tragic ending felt a bit too rushed/ not enough time was spent on the setup of the big show down. 6. 21.06.25
-
22. Sannin Fufu
Japanese Drama - 2025, 11 episodes
22. Juni
It takes a serious look at a complex issue and remains entertaining at the same time. It acknowledges the societalnoramtive hurdles contrasting with individuality. Clearly pointing out that individual happinessit has to be the result of weighing all of that against another. 11. 22.06.25
-
23. My Intimate Relationship with My Teacher
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
23. Juni
A typical example of a fluffy censored romance. 24. 23.06.25
-
24. Only for Fans
Korean Drama - 2024, 3 episodes
23. Juni
The chosen technique does not match up with the story they wanted to tell as a result it feels like a streched setup for a longer series. Too much of the conflict is abstract instead of the characters interactions. 23.06.25
-
25. Ball Boy Tactics
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
26. Juni
Definite dark light pair but also blue yellow green? 2. 05.06.25 They highlighted the need for communication especially while overcoming the anxieties that stem from being closeted. It makes stand out from similar shows. 8. 26.06.25

26. Moon and Dust

28. The Sparkle in Your Eye
Singaporean Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
28. Juni
A series about convictions and priorities. But it seems shallow it gives all the deppressing feelings and plot points neccessary but lacks depth and neglects to show the strong feelings that would make it a satisfying watch. 12. 28.06.25
