206. Fourever You
Thai Drama - 2024, 17 episodes
I didn’t think I was going to like this one as much as I did. At first I was kind of annoyed with the misunderstanding and the confusion, but once I got past the first couple episodes I started to really like it. Both main couples were so cute together and their dynamics + relationship progression was done well. There wasn’t too much angst but there was some which was nice. Tbh it could’ve used more depth but I didn’t really feel a lack of emotions. Surprisingly I also didn’t get bored despite it being 17 episodes long. I thought the actors had amazing chemistry, I mean seriously. I also loveddddd the side couples. I think the last episode could’ve been better (why did they just forgive the dad and grandpa like they weren’t horrible people?) but whatever. Overall it was really cute and I genuinely enjoyed watching it. I need season two NOW.
*After rewatching I can say I still like it, I definitely preferred Johan and North though I felt like Hill and Easter were kind of lacking. They were cute and all but I found myself not caring that much. However Johan and North had me hooked. I think it’s the dynamic and the chemistry that I really like. I’m so excited for season two and I the MOST excited for Nao and Tiger. I mean seriously i’m soo obsessed with them I need more of them. Overall this series is cute but sometimes it does drag on a bit. It could use a little more angst or depth but it does well and I like it. It’s not realistic at all but sometimes thats nice.

211. Business as Usual
Korean Drama - 2025, 6 episodes
It was simple and fun, nothing too deep or interesting. Just your classic misunderstanding trope. I liked how it told two different sides though, seeing the truth vs what he thought happened was interesting. Didn’t impact me much though.

216. Battle of the Writers
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
I’m so disappointed in the use of ai art within this show. It’s so easy to hire an artist I don’t know why they used so much ai. Honestly part of me thinks they used ai to write parts of the script because it didn’t make any sense. The plot was so disjointed and all over the place with random stuff happening for no reason. It was confusing and strange. I’m only giving this five stars because TutorYims acting and chemistry were flawless. Please give them a better series they deserve it.

217. My Secret Vampire
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
This was very cute and sweet. The chemistry was great and the acting was good. Was plot was very simple but still interesting. I was a little confused on the rules of the world but that’s fine. The side couple was really cute too, I didn’t really like the weird “angle kiss” they should’ve just done a confession scene instead but whatever. The dynamic between all the characters was fun and even the love “triangle” was cute. I do wish it was longer, I think it would’ve been ten times better if it had more time but oh welll

218. Revenged Love
Chinese Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
Going into this i knew it was going to be toxic and a “dark romance” so i wasn’t too put off by the harsh natures of the characters. I can acknowledge this is fiction and not real people, as the dynamics are definitely toxic. Despite that they are still very cute couples and the chemistry is beyond insane. Seriously the acting in this way so so good. There were definitely a lot of cringey moments but that is in the style of a chinese drama (the dub included). The plot was interesting though, I flew through 24 episodes in no time and didn’t get bored. There were some classic misunderstandings that made me angry but once again it’s a classic trope. Honestly I really liked it.

219. Khemjira
Thai Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
This one is so amazing in so many ways, I don’t even know where to start. The acting is perfect the chemistry (for both couples) is perfect. The plot is so interesting and intricate. The tension is amazing, the characters are complex. The music is really good, the set design and makeup/costumes are so incredible. The special effects are pretty good (some of the cgi not so much but who cares.) It’s so good. I love that it’s a horror/thriller but it’s also a queer series, we need more of that. I love goofy series but serious ones hit so much harder. Fated lovers, past lives. Love it. Also i’m obsessed with CharnJett they were everything.
Now for the bad…there’s not much but there were a few plot holes where I didn’t understand the choices they made. I’m not going into detail about that though. Then at the last episode for some reason they gave us a summary of what happened like five minutes ago, which was annoying. The ads were also pretty cringy.
Despite the few downsides it was an amazing series and absolutely is a must watch in every way.

220. MuTeLuv: “Hi” by My Luck
Thai Drama - 2025, 4 episodes
This is short and sweet. I love a good one sided rivals to lovers trope. The development was natural and done well and ofc SeaKeen have great chemistry. I loved the dynamic of the characters, it’s the introverted socially awkward nerd x extroverted over dramatic crash out trope that gets me every time. Lowkey wished it was longer.
-
221. Memoir of Rati
Thai Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
Overall this was an entertaining series with good acting and elaborate set design. I thought the plot was easy to follow but allowed for some plot holes to form. The main conflict of Thee having to get married didn’t hold weight against the plot because I didn’t understand the consequences. If he just said no I don’t think anything would’ve happened to him. Later they say he would go to jail if he didn’t do the ceremony which gives consequences but we aren’t really shown that. It doesn’t feel strong in its sense of actual stakes. I feel like for a lot of moments they didn’t let us sit in the tension and just cut to something else, many parts felt rushed or out of place. And the prince character was just filler and actually served to purpose to the plot. Also the time skip at the end was weird and just skipped past too many things. Thee’s almost wife’s love interest disappears. Kui and Jam are randomly a couple. Dech’s father is mentioned but who knows what happened. I also think they handled the portugal of France here poorly, France did some really messed up things back then and they were barely addressed. Then the whole story treats being French as some superior thing literally Thee goes to France for Rati despite Rati saying he feels connected to Siam why wouldn’t he stay in Siam? They even bring up how the French people won’t learn the language of Siam but don’t properly address it. Anyways there were weird lighting moments in this and something about it didn’t feel like a period piece, maybe something was missing but it felt weird. Main couple was cute though I liked their relationship and I was obsessed with the side couple they were the stars of the show to me. Lowkey wanted more of them. I love gay people getting happy endings but for some reason I feel like a sad ending might’ve fit better, it felt like a fairytale ending too easy and neat. Having said all that I still really liked it and i’m going to miss GreatInn.

222. LoveSick 2024
Thai Drama - 2024, 15 episodes
I have conflicting feelings about this series. In terms of quality and acting, it’s definitely better than the og. But the og did have some better parts in terms of storylines. This series did good in portraying a first queer love in some sense, it was innocent and cute. However it was also insanely dramatic and unrealistic. First of all, everyone was gay so any fears of homophobia didn’t really make sense. The main problem was the dad but he randomly decided to be nice and they straight up dropped that storyline. The main couple was cute but so frustrating because they took forever to realized anything and kept misunderstanding each other, similar to the og. The first side couple was cute but Ohm was a jerk and for some reason they tried to make him like Noh it was so insanely weird and stupid. Then my faves Per Win, they were cute and I liked how they actually made them a couple, but they didn’t have the spark that the og Per Win had. There were other couples and just overall too many characters tbh. I did loveeee that they made Aim a lesbian, that was a good choice. I respect that they didn’t have any kiss scenes because they actors were very very young but the weird fake outs they kept doing were annoying. Plus Noh kissing Earn by accident but never kissing Pun was a weird choice. Honestly that’s how I can summarize this, cute and wholesome but annoying and whoever wrote this made the weirdest choices. I would say it was easier to watch than the og because they made it shorter and it had a better emotional impact. But the og handled the characters a bit better in terms of development.

223. Secrets Happened on the Litchi Island
Chinese Drama - 2025, 7 episodes
This was so prettyyyyy. It was cute and emotional and visually beautiful. I loved the acting and the chemistry they had. It was a simple concept but still interesting. My biggest complaint is that it was so short, I wish it was longer. It would’ve done great as a longer series or maybe in a movie format? I just think there were some spots that felt like they were missing something. It kind started jumping around through the story and I got confused. A couple things just weren’t explained properly. Despite that I still liked it. I also liked the little extra episodes, there were cute and showed more of the relationship. I could see the inspiration they took from Call Me by Your Name.
-
224. Blue Canvas of Youthful Days
Chinese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
This was actually really good. I loved the dynamic between the main couple and how their relationship developed it was so natural and realistic. They had fears and wants and how they expressed them were portrayed well. They had amazing chemistry and acting was phenomenal. It was very raw and gritty with really good cinematography and visuals. Both of the characters had baggage that held them down and its what led them to being torn apart. It was right person wrong time and it was heartbreaking. Though in the end they did find each other again. Speaking of the end it was really rushed and gave me whiplash. I think they ran out of time or because of the censorship issue (smh) they couldn’t fully flesh out the ending. It’s a little disappointing because I wanted to see how they reconnected, I wish we could somehow get a season two but I doubt that’ll ever happened since this was barely able to air. Moving on to the side couple they were cute and I liked the deaf representation. However they felt a bit unnatural and didn’t click with me like the main couple did. I was a bit iffy on the age gap since we never found out their actual ages, the whole looks like his brother thing/is treated like his brother was a little weird too. Though at the end he admits he never thought of him as a brother the vibes were weird. They were cute though a bit of a relief from the sadness, acting was good too. Main couple takes the cake for me though. Overall, it was really good and interesting and I want more series like this I just wish it were longer.

225. The Journey to Killing You
Japanese Drama - 2025, 6 episodes
Oh wow oh wow this was so good. The chemistry was insane like it was sooooo good. The acting was amazing I was so immersed. The plot too omg I loved it yakuza one sided enemies to lovers with betrayal and angst? That’s a recipe for success. It was done really well too, despite being only six short episodes they covered everything and all the characters felt deep and well thought out. Their relationship progressed really nicely and despite it not being a slow burn at all it somehow felt like one. This series would’ve ate as a long form one, that way there could’ve been more build up. It was good as is but it being longer would’ve been amazing. I need more of these two actors and more of this kind of plot. It kind of felt like The Untamed in a strange way. The only thing I didn’t like was the dubious consent they had going on, it was definitely pushing that line of discomfort for me.

226. Peach Trap
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
This was really cute and an easy watch. The plot was simple with a love square? idk what’s it’s called. Though i’m not the biggest fan of “who’s he going to pick” stories I kind of liked this one. It was obvious who his choice was going to be but it was still nice to see it work out. I am the biggest fan of childhood friends to lovers and they did well with that. Also the trope of one of the having a years long unrequited crush and it becomes requited is my fav. Their dynamic was very cute and you could tell Gyeon loved him unconditionally. While comparatively Haram was obsessive and the team leader wasn’t fully aware of Doha’s feelings. You could see each of them liked him but the dynamics didn’t click like they did with Gyeon and Doha. It was like Doha saw Haram as a younger brother and he saw the team leader as an older authority didier, while in contrats he saw Gyeon as an equal and acted differently around him. It was clear they Gyeon and Doha had that special relationship and to see it pay off was nice. They had amazing chemistry too and the acting was good. I do wish it was longer, if there was more time they could've gone into everything deeper. I also wish we got to see more of Doha and Gyeon as a couple they were so cute. I would love a spinoff with Haram and the Jujitsu coach guy (one with Doha and Gyeon being a cute couple too perhaps??) but I doubt the at would happen. Overall it was super cute and fun, a little bit stressful but worth it.

227. Head 2 Head
Thai Drama - 2025, 12 episodes
Controversial opinion this is not as bad all everyone was saying it is. While I understand that it doesn’t follow the novel exactly when have any of the live action series done that? Like yes duh they are going to change it. I think that it was a nice story and I was interested in the plot. I liked how they added the consequences for J as well, like you change the future but that means you have to pay the price. They could have done more of that honestly. I thought their dynamic was cute, they were never enemies just always fighting. This def cannot be classified as enemies to lovers though. I thought the acting was good but for some reason there were no tears when crying? They did good crying scenes in Only Boo so not sure what happens here. I also thought the blood effects were lame, like just a bandaid for series injuries, seems like they had a small budget or not a lot of time. I still liked the plot though it was a good story. I like the side couple too, Van was horrible to Farm but he changed and they worked it out. I’m just biased because Surf Java but they had good chemistry. Overall GMMTV definitely could’ve done better in making this series but I enjoyed it soooo

228. Me and Thee
Thai Drama - 2025, 10 episodes
This show was very funny and silly. The humor was exaggerated and over the top but it had me laughing from beginning to end. Thee was so overdramatic and gave me second hand embarrassment but he was hilarious. I loved his soap opera personality hidden by the fierce mafia title. His downbadism for Peach was incredible. I loved everytime he would sulk and how Peach taught him how to be a better person. Thee really grew as a person because of Peach and Peach was able to feel safe and loved. Thier dynamic was really great they both brought something into eachothers lives and care endlessly for one another. I thought the plot was simple but not boring or anything. The comedy kept it entertaining. It was nice that we thought the family would be an obstacle but in fact they were very loving and accepting. I love angst so I did find myself wishing for those moments but that’s not what this series was about. They had emotional moments that were done well but it was mainly about the love and silliness of it all. I appreciate that it’s nice to see the bright side sometimes. For side couples I did not like Aran and Tawan at all, they were toxic and there was no growth. Tawan did not become a better person he just faced consequences. I did like Rome and Mok, solely because of williamest lol. Honestly the book for them was better as their dynamic was more balanced in the book Mok expressed interest in Rome and was more active/intimate while in the series Mok was very standoffish which was weird. I wish they had more coupley moments? The “Calm down mr rome,” moment was really good though and their chemistry and acting was great. Speaking of chemistry Pond and Phuwin did so amazing I don’t want to see anymore complaints about them. The ending of this series was a little weird just the rushed marriage and adoption of kids was a bit much. Overall it was funny and cute and I enjoyed it.

229. Something's Not Right
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
Something isn’t right more like Do Bawoo is fcking wrong. Let’s start with the bad, this series reused its scenes so much and every time it was unnecessary. Like yes I remember that scene from five seconds ago no need to make me rewatch the entire scene again, that added nothing. The main plot of this was interesting but it was handled poorly. I think we were supposed to like Bawoo but he was insufferable. Every decision he made didn’t make any sense. Jihoon was honest and said that he doesn’t understand things well so if something wrong all Bawoo needs to do is tell him. Yet Bawoo chooses to not tell him things and constantly let him misunderstand I don’t get it. If he had just confessed in a clear and concise way and explained how he felt then none of that would’ve happened. Instead he chooses to be vague and overall a jerk to Jihoon. Bawoo was a bad friend it felt like Jihoon was the only one who cared and the only one he tried. I don’t think Bawoo cared about their friendship it seemed like he only cared about himself. I like the plot twist of Jihoon liking him first but they didn’t show us that, they could’ve done more with it. Then Hamin? I hated that man he was so frustrating and had way too much screen time. I don’t know what he added to the story. The ending made me mad too like why did we spend the whole ep on random stuff we should’ve gotten their dating era. We didn’t get to see them together at all. Overall, the concept was the ere but it wasn’t excited well. I wish we could see this two in another project because this one was a waste of thier good chemistry. Seriously the way Jihoons actor portrayed yearning was so good. Put him in another bl rn.
-
230. Secret Relationships
Korean Drama - 2025, 8 episodes
I get why people like this drama. It’s really well well and the plot is really interesting and the acting is phenomenal. Seriously the acting is really really amazing. The special effects were good too. On top of that the chemistry and dynamics between the actors are really good. I really liked how each dynamic was different and offered something new. It was clear that there were unstable power dynamics between Daon Suhyeon and Jaemin. Obviously there was no love there it was obession, control, and narcissism. We saw that clearly and saw how the abuse and manipulation affect Daon. Which is why I truly don’t understand people who wanted Daon with anyone but Seunghyeon. He was the ONLY right choice, he was the only good person, the only one who actually loved Daon. If you care about Daon as a character you wouldn’t want him with anyone different. I think that’s what I like least about this drama, the fanbase. All the shipping of characters who are clearly NOT good for eachother. If you think a relationship should be like that get some help. Anyways Seunghyeon was the greenest flag in the world and he and Damon are the perfect couple. I knew it was going to be them since the very beginning. Overall this was a very very very stressful drama but it was good nonetheless.

231. MuTeLuv: Love Me if You Swear
Thai Drama - 2026, 4 episodes
SURFJAVA THE MEN YOU ARE. Wow just wow. Honestly since this is only 4 eps I didn’t expect much but it was insanely good. The plot was simple yet interesting and the characters were done well. The chemistry? OFF THE CHARTS. I don’t understand how this was their first project they did SO good. I was eating up their dynamic it was everything. It was actually enemies to lovers, like an equal hate that turns to love. It did move fast but obviously with four episodes it has to. It didn’t feel too rushed though. I loved both the characters and how they contrasted eachother. They both had unique things about them and flaws. I also loved the interactions with the “gangs” and how Tum learned what friendship is. It was so so cute and funny and the chemistry again was so good. I liked that the cuts stayed on for pretty much the whole isnwta dof magically disappearing though they did move and change a bit lol. Also I actually wished they did more because Tum got beat up a lot yet he never got more scratches. That is my only note, I loved loved everything else. Seriously this might be the best of the MuteLuv’s. I LOVE SURFJAVA!!

232. Gelboys
Thai Drama - 2025, 7 episodes
THIS WAS AMAZING. I love love loved it!!! Let’s start with the production design. I LOVE MAXIMALISM! The colors, the stickers, THE NAILS, all the little details and art choices were so amazing. This show had such a unique style even in the editing it was so stylistic and stunning. The use of Gen Z culture and social media was done well too it didn’t feel cringy or like some old man wrote it. The characters were very realistic for queer high schoolers along with the friend groups. I loved how each character was really complex and they would mess up and do the wrong thing but we would see that they aren’t bad people they are just young. I thought the chemistry was really good as well for all of them. It was interesting to watch them interact and try to figure out their feelings. Insane love square but it wasn’t as frustrating as I thought it would be. They did it so well that I ended up loving all the characters and couples. The emotions and dynamics were really good. The acting was super good too. Overall this is such an impressive series (i heard it was filmed on an iphone????) and it truly shows how much love was poured into it. I’m excited for season two, PLEASE PLEASE NO CHEATING OR ITS RUINED.

233. ABO Desire
Chinese Drama - 2025, 16 episodes
So um…yeah I watched this. Honestly i’m not really into the omegaverse stuff it just doesn’t really interest me and I don’t understand all the rules. But I still watched this because I felt like it deserved a chance. Unfortunately it did a bad job of explaining the rules because I was very confused. And then anytime they did explain them it was in huge info dumps that also didn’t make any sense. Show don’t tell was a rule that was NOT followed, there was so much telling. Also the random narrator bits that didn’t make any sense were so weird. Anyways the main plot was actually interesting, I like how the dynamic was switched and it was all this insane plot to get his man. Obviously it was manipulative and a little evil but I can’t lie I love when someone is just insane. I didn’t like the non-con bits though, that was uncomfy but I fear it comes with the a drama and omegaverse territory? Anyways the chemistry was really good ngl, the main couple had an addictive dynamic. The way they flipped who we thought was the “top.” I loved that. I did not like the side couple at all, I found both of them extremely annoying and frustrating and if either of them just communicated or had one normal conversation they probably could’ve worked things out. I’d like to pretend they don’t exists because they are both stupid or something. Anyways overall this series was confusing, cringey, but surprisingly fun to watch. The best part is the main couples dynamic and how it beats the stereotypes it’s so unique and interesting. Again omegaverse is not my thing but I didn’t hate it.

234. Duang with You
Thai Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
This was really good. It was truly a breath of fresh air in the BL world. I hope this series sets a precedent for others because we need more like it. It has such a simple story yet it portrayed its characters so perfectly it was amazing. The dynamics between friends and the love interests were done really well. I felt like everyone really clicked. I also loved the characters so so much. I think Duang was perfectly portrayed by TeeTee as was Qin by Por. Their acting was amazing and their chemistry was also so good. This series was cute and so so funny but it also had its emotional moments which were done really well. It showed the realistic struggles people can have with heir parents and how trauma is handled. I honestly really liked almost everything about this series. My only critiques are the blatant ads (which are the usual unfortunately) and then the excess of singing. I know they are singers irl but sometimes it can be annoying. Anyways this series was written and filmed beautifully and I truly enjoyed it. I really hope Domundi sees the success of this and works on making better series and I hope we will get to see more high quality BLs coming out soon.

235. Love You Teacher
Thai Drama - 2026, 10 episodes
I LOVED IT! This show was a breath of fresh air. It was so colorful and quirky, seriously I loved the primary colors and the overall production design. Some of the wardrobe was a bit out there but that’s okay. The storyline was really interesting and it unfolded well. The emotional beats were places well and it was a roller coaster, in a good way. I loved the characters and how they interacted with each other there was a lot of character development. The main couple was everything, seriously I LOVE how they were an established couple. They were dating since ep one and never had a breakup era, it was beautiful. I need more established couples in BLs. Obviously PerthSanta have great chemistry and their acting was amazing. The characters relationship was so beautiful and I loved how they both made each other better. I also loved the flashbacks their little roommates to lovers trope was great. Also the lack of blatant ads? LOVE. My only critique is how they portrayed Jew’s OCD, as someone with OCD it was very stereotyped and just wasn’t accurate. But at least they tried? Idk. Other than that I really loved it and hope to see more BLs like it.

236. Smells Like Green Spirit
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
This was cute yet depressing. To start I thought that the vibes were a bit strange. It had this coming of age melancholic tone but the music and editing did not fit at all. Also a lot of the acting was way over the top. I wish they had toned it back more to fit the vibe of the story. It definitely could’ve been so much better had they actually followed the correct tone but whatever. I loved the story, the characters and how they interacted. This found family between these two queer people was beautiful. I love how this touched on identity and sexuality and what it all means. I also loved the variety in families we saw. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the weird teacher plotline, it was a bit much and the way he never got reported was horrible. Though maybe it’s more real and he did suffer in the end. I also think the bullying was a bit much especially how they all ended up being forgiven. Though perhaps it is realistic. I don’t like the whole bully to lovers thing but I can’t lie Mishima and Yumeno were cute. I think the ending was so bittersweet but realistic. Some people spend their whole lives hiding, but if I saw the tv taught me anything it’s “There is still time.” I’d like to believe there is still time for Kirino too.

237. Wishing upon the Shooting Stars
Taiwanese Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
This was very enjoyable. I really liked the plot, it was interesting and had a full circle journey. It didn’t fully make sense as we never got an explanation for the god and all that but whatever. All the emotional beats were hit well. I liked the couples dynamic, I’m a sucker for a childhood first love that gets rekindled. They had great chemistry as well. I also liked the dynamic with the dad it was interesting and added more depth. For both the main characters they had depth but I wanted a bit more from their backstories as we just got clips of flashbacks. Especially Haowei, I wanted to see more about his panic disorder. Also I LOVED the side couple they were so cute. They lowkey were serving Obsession for a minute there but it’s okay. Overall I really liked this, it was a good watch.

238. When It Rains, It Pours
Japanese Drama - 2025, 7 episodes
This was beautiful. The emotional depth of this story hit so hard. It had me fully tearing up which was unexpected. I really liked the story here it was very realistic. I also loved the characters they were complex and had so many different sides to them. The way the two leads felt isolated and rejected but came together and fixed that missing piece of eachother was beautiful. Yes the story involved cheating, but it was handled with care and wasn’t a huge betrayal. This story hit so hard especially the characters. The portrayal and writing of Hagiwara was amazing, how he felt dirty and worthless and how that was shown through his words and actions was perfect. The two characters dynamic and relationship was really beautiful too, through the ups and downs they still found eachother. The way they met too was adorable. The side characters also felt real they weren’t there just for us to hate them. Apart from the story the acting was amazing, they knocked it out of the park. Also the cinematography was pretty nice, I loved the framing and some of the movements. The only thing I wished for was that it was longer, the ending felt a tiny bit rushed. I’m a sucker for the “dating era” so I just wish we had a little more time with them. Overall I really enjoyed this series, it was cute and funny at moments and then so emotional the next. It was a great watch and definitely something i’ll remember for awhile.

239. Love upon a Time
Thai Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
This was cuteeeee. I found the story interesting, I do like a back in time type drama, specifically queer ones. I thought the time travel and reincarnation aspects were really cool. I liked the characters and thought they were all pretty interesting. The “plot twists” were very predictable but that’s okay. The action and tense moments were good. I loved the main couples dynamic, it was just pure love. I also love the side couple they were so cuteee. I think it progressed very well but maybe was too long? It just got boring at times. Another detail was sometimes it looked blurry? I’d something with the filter or post editing was weird. Last dislike was that some of the acting was a bit off, but not too bad. I will say Net acted so well, he definitely gave the best performance. Other than that I don’t have many bad things to say. I enjoyed watching this and it was fun. It had its funny moments without being too cringe and it also had its emotional moments. Overall it was fun.

240. The Boy Next World
Thai Drama - 2025, 10 episodes
This was…interesting. I’ll start with the good things. The acting was good, well Boss and Noeuls acting was. They have great chemistry and I love them together. Plus Boss is so fine it’s crazy. I liked the characters dynamic too. Cold guy who’s only warm to one person and then gullible naive guy. It was cute I liked them together. It was also kind of childhood friends to lovers but also not. I also liked the side couple, I wish we got more of them though. Lowkey I thought Rome and Wim would’ve been cute together. Rome was such as fun character I liked his weird love of fish. I thought the concept was really interesting. I love the idea of parallel worlds and how they all connect. I liked the Cir who was like the “control” or whatever that was interesting. I also liked seeing the parallel worlds, I wish we got to see more. I think where the plot failed was how confusing it got. Cir lied that he was from a parallel world and was actually a stalker but parallel worlds did actually exist. That’s a lot to take in. I think it would’ve been better if either it was all a lie and Cir really believed it/it was all in his head. Or it was the truth but Cir was lying and the Phu in his world was dead/didn’t like him. The lie just was confusing. If we keep the mind control then we keep the parallel worlds since the universe rules allow supernatural stuff. Cir being a stalker was weird too like it was creepy but also not idk. Maybe it’s just because he’s hot. Also the ending kind of made me mad. Why did the mom just get away with everything like no consequences? They just traded the brother wtf? They didn’t have to do that she had no legal power over them they could’ve just left. That was annoying and didn’t make sense but whatever. Overall I enjoyed watching it but it was a bit confusing and there were some strange choices made.

241. The Boy Next World Special Episode: A World Where We Don’t Know Each Other
Thai Special - 2025, 1 episode
This was cute. I like how this special episode added to the story while not changing the ending or making it too crazy (jack and joker could never LMAO). I loved seeing another world I wish we could see the others tooo. They should’ve done a little mini series on the other worlds I would’ve loved that. The tiny piece at he end too with the other Cir meeting the mastermind Cir or whatever was cool too. I’m so curious about him I wonder if he got his happy ending or if he didn’t and is ensuring that the other Cirs can get theirs. This special episode added made me want a season two loll. I liked this version of Phu and Cir it was flipped with Phu being the stalkerish one except he never lied he was just obviously down bad. Their dynamic was super cute. I also LOVED seeing the side couple. I’m a sucker for an established couple so I loved them. Also glad they got an actual kiss not another one sided kiss like the main series lol. Again seeing more of them would’ve been nice but i’m glad we got what we did. Overall it was cute and fun and definitely what a special ep should be.

242. Secret Love
Thai Drama - 2024, 81 episodes
This was not very good. However as it was a mini series I did not have high expectations. I love TleFirstone so I had to watch it for them. And they did great, thier chemistry was off the charts per usual. Their casting was good as they are amazing actors, the short format and script however did not do them justice. Overall this series was very low quality from the editing to just the overall appearance. The plot had potential however it fell short. Maybe had this been longer and had better writing it would’ve been really good. I think the dynamic was interesting and they flip flopped the roles which was cool. I liked having Tle playing the biological son who was treated like an employee. I’m still confused to if they were related, I can’t tell if they were cousins or step brothers or anything like that. Was he actually adopted into the family or just considered family. Idk so the jury is undecided on whether this was incest or not. Anways I hate that it ended on Tles characters having to get approached from his dad, that was the happy ending. The dad who abused him mentally and physically and was a terrible person ends up being the good guy, what? The ending should’ve been either them running away together or Firstones character taking over the company and leaving the parents behind to suffer. They deserved nothing good. That was my main problem with the plot. One last thing regarding bad quality was the terrible subtitles, i’m pretty sure they were form the official streaming service too. Do better yall. Anyways overall it was an interesting watch, definitely not something i’ll watch again. I’m hyped for future TleFirstone projects though because I love them. I will say Tle eats up the hot nerd trope (i’ll never get over Charn).

243. Goddess Bless You from Death
Thai Drama - 2025, 13 episodes
Ooh I just love me a horror BL. This was really good, I really liked the plot and I was very interested in how it unraveled. It was supernatural and a murder mystery but also with the religious tones. The unraveling of the murders was done really well and I was on the edge of my seat so many times. I will say I immediately guessed the murderers so there was so surprise on that part but it was still good. There were some loose ends we never got cleared up, like who or what was Bua, but overall the story was told nicely. The character dynamics were also good, I loved Singhas characters he was so hateful but also caring. Him and Thup were a great match. I really love PoohPavel. The way that they subvert expectations with who’s the top is my favorite thing. I loveee themmmm, their acting was so good. I love how it’s ThupSingha, like the opposite of what you’d expect it’s so great. I also loved the side couple, so glad Michel and Topten got to act as a couple (i’m pretending pitbabe s2 doesn’t exist) I loved their pairing though there was some history between them we never got to see. Overall ther story was so interesting and I loved the horror aspects. The makeup was so good and it was pretty spooky. Perhaps the Ost was overused (i can see him dancing in my mind) but it was good. Per usual some obvious ads were distracting but i’m used to it. I will say some times the characters made really dumb decisions like idk why they had no common sense sometimes. Apart from that I really did love it. I need more PoohPavel and more horror Bls rn.

244. Checkmate
Korean Drama - 2026, 50 episodes
I hate that the only place to watch this is an app where you have to spend at least 8 dollars to watch the whole thing. That or you spend several days watching ads for only 5eps a day. Either way I waited so long for this to be released anywhere else but I gave up and just spent the money because I really wanted to watch it. And…It was really good. Like my favorite vertical drama by far. The acting was incredible, genuinely I need these two actors in a real series right now. Their chemistry was so good. I also loved the dynamic of their characters it was this dangerous obsession and possessiveness that managed to not be toxic which was great. It was like bordering the line of wrong but just enough the be morally okay, at least to me. I really liked it though because they both really wanted eachother. It had a lot of depth for being so short, like the depth of Eunsung and his trauma which made him who he was vs Soohyun and how he acted. It was really good. I liked the plot and was locked in the whole time. Unfortunately because it was so short there was so much that got left out. I wanted more from them in highschool, more about thier families, more about the other boys in that creepy guys house, and more about the whole painting house and what it was. I wish this could just be made into an actual KBL series. It would be so good, there’s so much to this story and there’s so much more they could do. Since it was a vertical they shyed away from some of the darker stuff but with a full series they could go all in. Genuinely this would be so good as a series. These two actors also need to act together again they did so good. Overall this was really good but as with every vertical drama it was just so short so I can’t really rate it in comparison to other full BLs. On an only vertical BL ranking scale I would give it a 10/10.

245. Fourever You Part 2 (Uncut Ver.)
Thai Drama - 2025, 24 episodes
fahphoon: the first two episodes made me cry, they were so emotional and it was just phoon having to face horrible things over and over. but then he got better, we didn’t get to see the progression as much as in the book but it was nice. his friends helped him to be better and i love their friend group. overall fah and phoon were really cute their dynamic is a bit cliche but the plot was interesting. the plot is the most emotional but the pairing is a bit tame just cutesy. they followed the book very well but it’s a shame they left out the scene where tiger shows up all mafia like and gives the dad what he deserves
arthitdao: the plot here started with thits journey into accepting his moms death and dao helping him along the way it was emotional and interesting and then boom he falls in love. i loved how at first neither of them had feelings but then it developed. they both were closed off but opened up for eachother. i liked their dynamic it was different from the previous couples. the bad part is thits consent problem he kept “losing control” which was annoying he’s a grown man and can control himself. apart from that i loved this pairing and it was a nice change of pace
tigernao: they are my favs. they are the most different from the others and have this equal footing dynamic i love. they are the same age and did friends to lovers so well. tiger staying by naos side no matter what and doing anything for him was so amazing. I loved the plot and their dynamic, they should’ve had their own series. the side couples were hard to fit in but even in the book they were mostly skimmed over. i wish tiger brother was more of a crybaby like in the book but he barely shed tears. also they cut some crucial scenes that were important to their dynamic. honestly they could’ve leaned more into the angst and the drama of tiger being in the mafia too. i say this because i love them the most. pies acting was so good btw. i’ll never forget the two of them and tigernao

246. Peach and Me
Thai Drama - 2026, 4 episodes
gmmtv really does a good comedy. seriously these special eps were so funny i was genuinely laughing out loud. i love that they did several special episodes as well that was so nice. my only complaints are the relationship with their kids was strange it did not feel like they were parents at all. also i still don’t know about taiwan and aran i love perthsanta but their toxicity still lingered. tawan felt a bit lifeless too idk. last thing was it was weird that they a made a series about themselves and acted in it a little too meta for me. apart from those i really enjoyed it, the acting was great, pond kills me everytime. i loved loved loved seeing more of romemok, genuinely william est could be in anything and id watch it. i wish we got even moreeee, i loved their dynamic. i also like how it differed from the book (i think) they had a little more conflict and it was harder for them to be together. another thing was i loved seeing more of rome and thees bond that brotherly relationship matters so much to me. also mok and thee friendship, ngl i cried when he left it was sad. i love how this series always balanced the comedy and the emotional parts. though the whole them making a series was weird i loved how they pulled in other gmmtv actors. i’ll say maybe junior mark were the closest to pulling it off, though mark broke character. honestly i think no one could do it better than pond physic. genuinely pond deserves an award for his acting as thee. comedic genius. overall it was really fun and i hope they keep up this energy for special eps. i’ll miss this series but im glad it got its happy ending.

247. Deep In
Chinese Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
I have conflicting opinions about this one. Let’s start with what I liked. The acting was amazing, both of them nailed it. The plot is also interesting, it was a bit confusing at times but overall I was very interested. The chemistry was insane, they did amazing together and the character dynamics were nice I liked the couple(s). The cinematography was really good I loved how it looked and all the things they did with different camera movements and angles. I also liked the aspect ratio changes. Lowkey the whole series in a series thing did trip me up sometimes. We spent a lot of time in the “fictional” world and at points I wished we could go back to the actors. I found their plot to be more interesting. Gao Zhens characters choices got on my nerves, like a lot. At the same time I was interested in learning more about the therapists mental illness. It was like they focused on things that didn’t really matter I guess. For the actors plot line I didn’t like the whole drunk thing. Ofc lack of consent makes an appearance. Then later on in the confrontation he’s more concerned about Zhens feelings being sincere then the whole him being drunk thing. It was strange it was like they had to force a conflict and so just added that. Honestly the last ep just felt rushed. They suddenly fought, he ran, eight months pass, they’re back together. It was a lot, then the paparazzi flashes ruining the big kiss wasn’t great. Also the kiss? There’s no way they could’ve done that in China. Apart from that I liked the plot and its progression. It’s a little confusing how the characters the actors were playing were real and a book is based on the actors? Overall I liked the plot it just had its ups and downs. The best part was the acting the emotional scenes were done so well. It was strange to see Ollie act so non chalant, he’s like a little puppy to me, but he did great. I really did enjoy this series and I hope we could somehow see these two act together again.

248. Ticket to Heaven
Thai Drama - 2026, 6 episodes
Wow I didn’t think gmmtv had it in them. First of all this was beautiful. The cinematography was gorgeous with great angles and lighting. It felt very cinematic and I loved the grain and realism. I think they could’ve made it even better if they used a different aspect ration but that’s a personal thing. Secondly the acting is phenomenal, genuinely the guilt portrayed by the both of them and the love and innocence. They both deserve an award for their incredible acting. Of course their chemistry was amazing too but we’ve known that. I think this may be GemFourths best performance yet. I liked the plot and the story, it progressed very smoothly and felt realistic. They dealt with such heavy topics and they took them very seriously. I like how they didn’t default to comedy the grit and angst was done very well. I also liked how they showed despite the dire situation the two still found each other. So many people wanted a sad ending but I think it’s so important that they got to be happy. You can be religious and gay, it’s is possible guys. I liked the lack of ads, I only managed to catch one so that is very impressive. Some of the editing at times was weird but I admire the artistic risks, also the music could’ve been a bit better and then random singing made an appearance. At least they both can sing good. The one thing that wasn’t my fav was the last ep, it was a bit rushed. They run away together and then we get a time skip to when they are old. But instead getting older actors they just put makeup on them lol. They did not look old at all I fear. I think they could’ve just not a time skip and given us an ending of the two of them choosing eachother and being ready to brave the world together. It wasn’t a bad ending though just hard to really take serious. Overall though it was really beautiful and well done, I don’t get the hate i’ve been seeing. I think this is probably up there with some of the best gmmtv series.

249. When Oranges Fall
Thai Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
This was cute. The thing that really made me want to watch this was the cinematography which did not disappoint. The colors and overall look were amazing. Genuinely it look stunning. The production design was great too it was a time period piece and it did that very well. Everything was a little broken down and looked old. The acting was good too, they were very adorable. I liked the parings they were cute and had nice dynamics. My biggest critique was that it was so simple. Yes fluff can be fun but there weren’t really any stakes. I wished it had more angst. Even with the couples just having some more yearning and uncertainty. This was supposed to be older therefore being gay probably wasn’t as easy as it was portrayed. Everything was just so lighthearted and easy. They had the chance with Ko Songs parents, but then in the typical GMMTV way the parental neglect gets brushed over. The most angst was the college stuff which was accurate to how high schoolers act but wasn’t that serious. I loved the highschool first love vibes but it could’ve been more angsty for sure. The last ep was a bit weird they look like they are 15 so it was hard to see them as college graduates lol.The whole Justin situation was sad, it ended up getting a bunch of their scenes cut I think because Tle just kind of disappears. I don’t think that was fair to Keaton though as he did. thing wring. I get punishing Justin but they filmed this before the scandal and he was properly removed so cutting their scenes only ended up removing what little screen time Keaton had. Plus the lack of Tle and August made it feel like something was missing. I wasn’t devastated it was just strange. Anways controversy aside AlmondProgress and KenPaul did great in this and I’d love to see them in more series together. Cute series but it definitely could’ve been better.

250. A Dog and a Plane
Thai Drama - 2026, 10 episodes
You can really tell GMMTV made this series, I don’t really mean that in a good way. To start the cinematography wasn’t great, I liked the graininess but not anything else. Sometimes the camera would randomly zoom in and I felt like I was watching a 2000s Disney channel show. The whole vibe of this series was very unserious, there weren’t high stakes and the angst was mid. The plot started with catching a cheater then devolved into shenanigans I guess. After the main couple and side couple got together I got really bored. Lowkey nothing happened lol. It was enjoyable at first but I didn’t really want to keep watching.They could’ve had higher stakes or added more angst idk. It just started dragging on. The dad was kind of evil but of course they just had to bend over backwards for him. Then forgive the mom because parents can do no wrong. Also the ads were so annoying omg too much. I think this one was just too upbeat. I love a comedy when done well and this series did have its funny moments but it didn’t have much substance. I watched this because of TayNew and finished it because of them too. They are such great actors and have amazing chemistry. Genuinely every time they are on screen you can feel the chemistry. They did amazing and this made me want them in a more serious series, they need better roles to showcase their acting. Give them angst! I did like their dynamic, Toto was the best. I also loved their side couple, MondRyu did so good. I liked their storyline too. Overall this was silly and fun but it got a bit boring as there wasn’t much pushing along the story.

251. Fake Fact Lips
Japanese Drama - 2026, 9 episodes
If you’re looking for enemies to lovers this is not it. Having said that it’s still good, it’s the classic frenemies/childhood best friends to lovers trope. The one where one of them was actually in love the whole time. Think bad buddy but if they were more emotionally unstable and freaks. Honestly this show starts out so bizarre but as it goes on it gets more angsty and deep. It started as a comedy but ended up being a lot more than that. It definitely was a little silly but you could see how their actions all meant something. I loved their dynamic with the classic tsundere one and then fully down bad one. They were very cute. There were some moments where Zen pissed me off, like Ryo deserved better smh. Still he redeemed himself. Also Futami was so annoying. I liked this immature and mature office romance. The chemistry was great and the acting was amazing. Also the cinematography was so so good, I love Jdramas that look this good. Overall it was definitely a light watch but fun and it had some good emotional moments. Bizarre at times but def worth the watch.

252. The Next Prince: Uncut
Thai Drama - 2025, 14 episodes
This was not as bad as people said it was but it also wasn’t as good as it should’ve been. The good parts were the plot, I liked the overarching mystery with the classic person doesn’t know their royalty trope. The tension and action scenes were good so it kept me watching and interested in the plot. The twists were good but the setup made them a bit obvious imo. I loved the pairings, each one had their own unique dynamic. ZeeNunew served guard and prince and did it very well ofc. JimmyOhm ate up their paring seriously the chemistry and their whole storyline was so good. Jimmy might just be one of the best actors out there he plays such dynamic characters. I lowkey watched this for them, i’m so sad i’ll never get to see them act together again. NetJJ also was amazing. I really loved their pair and the whole protesting plot line was really good, it’s a shame they got so little screentime. That’s one of my biggest complaints, the side couples just barely got time. The story overall was good but I feel like the way it ended was so bad. After this whole competition he’s like welp back to the UK. Back to another monarchy lol. Like what? Not staying to change things like you said you would. Then we just forget all the rest of the people there too, okay. Another thing is there was so much info, like names and the whole country, they info dump and then I can’t remember anything. But like where on the food is Emally? Also the ads? So incredibly bad, broke the immersion. I didn’t know what genre this was it was like fantasy but modern but futuristic. Like we are in this period accurate castle but he pulls out an ipad and there’s holograms? Honestly this was all over the place. What saved this series was the great acting and the overall main plot that had the bones of good writing but in certain parts it fell flat. I’m glad I watched this though but it’s potential to be so much better will haunt me. Jimmyohm I will miss you.

253. Last Twilight
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
I’m a little disappointed. So to start, awhile ago I started watching this and dropped it. I can’t remember exactly why but I think it’s probably because I got annoyed. Here’s why: overall the characters in this were really good with great depth and arcs. However, several times Day’s character pissed me off so bad. First with August the second he comes back he drops Mhok as if he’s some second option. Then he’s so mean to his brother for so long because of an accident like fully and accident. Then at the end he breaks up with Mhok because of the smallest thing ever and Mhok has to be the one apologizing? Like Mhok didn’t kill anyone omfg the dramatics. He explains how his sister death affected him and Day’s like actually tho sis about me and i’m the only one who matters. Throughout the whole series he’s very entitled and makes everything about himself, obviously he’s having a hard time being blind isn’t easy. Still that doesn’t excuse his terrible attitude. Anways apart from that I liked their characters and their dynamic was so cute. Their progression was very naturally and the acting was amazing. Their side characters were well done, especially Night Mark did so good. Everyone except the Mom and August. The mom literally was abusing Day idgaf she was so horrible and then flip a switch she’s nice and never did any wrong. Also let’s talk about the ending, he gets his eyesight back. What, so moral is the only way he could truly be happy was to not be blind. Felt ableist to me but wtv. They should’ve kept him blind and shown how he learned to be happy, it also negated the whole “last image thing.” The cinematography was really good and the were only a couple of ads so those are some positives. Overall it was good, like genuinely, it’s just the lack of accountability for characters and the ending that really annoyed me.

254. That Summer
Thai Drama - 2025, 10 episodes
This was actually so good? Genuinely I was suprised that this was a GMMTV series.Lets starts with the cinematography, it was so good. The lighting was beautiful the way they used natural lighting and the natural scenery to elevate it was so good. The colors the lights the reflections were all so beautiful. This might have some of the best cinematography GMMTV has done. Production design wise too, the costumes, sets, and overall colors all fit together so well. Next is the plot, it was very interesting. This memory loss but also learning how to live in a new place from both characters worked very well. Lava was moody and short tempered but truly cared for people he just held deep trauma. While Wave was scared and had no idea who he was. They were somehow the perfect match with their bickering turning into flirting. It was almost a light hearted enemies to lovers. The action coming with the people wanting to kill Wave added tension and there was a nice level of angst. The main couples dynamic was so cute I loved them. Winny and Satang had great chemistry, truly I could feel the tension. Also I loved the side couple their storyline was realistic but also cute and heartwarming. Mond and Ryu are so underrated. The plot progressed great and the pacing was nice right up until the end. I personally did not like the time skip I think GMMTV overuses it and it gets really annoying. Instead they could’ve had Lava leave and then that night Wave confesses to his parents. Lava leaving is the wake up call he has to be brave. ow not wait a year. Then everything could’ve went the same his parents accept, Wave runs back to Lava the next morning or wtv. There was no time skip needed at all it was strange. Anyways love that the woman gets to be the ruler. One tiny thing is the ads were a bit annoying but in comparison to other series they actually weren’t that bad. Overall this was an amazing series, I hope to see Satang act again because he truly is an amazing actor.

255. Payback
Thai Drama - 2026, 10 episodes
SO GOOD!! I love action BLs. The plot was so good, from beginning to end it had stakes and purpose. It had twists and turns. I genuinely was so invested and really loved it. The acting was also amazing. The characters were really good Suns whole arc and his flaws were done really well. The found family and each characters trauma, everyone had depth. Even side characters and villains were interesting. The ensemble worked so well together. The villains got what they deserved, though Banks end was disturbing it made sense. One tiny gripe is that Sia po was just overall a bad person but wtv. I loved the main couple, Minlee and Toptap are amazing. Their acting and chemistry were off the charts. I lovedddd the dynamic, Topten was so good at playing nonchalantly obsessed. This was so plot focused I actually wished for more members between them because they were so good. Some scenes were a little too freaky for my taste but they did amazing. Seriously such good chemistry wtff. The fight scenes and sfx were really good, accurate injuries and blood. Some scenes were pretty disturbing but this is a dark series so. Unfortunately Sky and Phakin didn’t get to be together ughhh, they were so cute but the actors have official pairings so I guess they couldn’t. They had insane chemistry though. I didn’t see any ads in this which was amazing. Could’ve been a bit more cinematic but the cinematography was good. Overall this was really good and I hope to see more BLs like this in the future because woowwwww.

256. Contrast
Japanese Drama - 2026, 8 episodes
This was good until it wasn’t. So the cinematography was really pretty and the coloring was beautiful. I loved the location with the rooftop. Overall it looked amazing. The initial dynamic was very nice, classic shy guy and extrovert. But with layers where the shy one was rally experienced and the extrovert was putting up this facade. I liked their interactions, unfortunately there was not a dating era though. Kanatas whole story was interesting the way he struggled silently and hid away his emotions. I like his storyline and the relationship with his brother being mended. I also thought the actor was really really good. For Akiras story, it had an interesting concept but it failed miserably. He was groomed, that man was a pedophile. Yet that’s never addressed. They end their relationship and stay friends? I’m sorry no. That disgusting man should’ve gone straight to jail, nothing else. And the older brother was useless. The, his big deep trauma is not the grooming it’s him being rejected? Wtf? Then Akira is repeatedly dismissive and mean to Kanata and it’s not because of the grooming like whatttt? They had the chance to explore this topic and show how wrong and disgusting it was but just didn’t. Instead I ended up being confused and annoyed for the latter half of the show. The dynamic was so cute and there were this interesting layers but it was all ruined by the writers lack of accountability. It’s not okay to portray a grooming situation like this. This could’ve been a great drama but it was not. I wouldn’t recommend watching this it’s nothing special.

257. The Prosecutor's Proposal
Korean Drama - 2026, 10 episodes
Talk about wasted potential! I’ll start with the good , the plot/concept. This was an interesting concept, it was like typical Kdrama/Bromance plot but actually BL. Like Devil Judge but gay. That was the potential. The plot was super interesting the whole murder muster and both of them being sons of the perpetrator/victim. However, the reveal of him being the son to the audience could’ve been done better. I was a bit confused at first lol. The reveal of him being Kang Woosungs son was good, I like how he forgave him too because it was obvious how he regretted lying. Honestly they didn’t do the plot twists good. I knew who the murderer was immediately I knew the father and then immediately knew the son. I have idea why they decided to be like “Hey the murderer is one of these two guys.” Literally ruined any suspicion. Why tf did they do that? The actor for Song Haneul was so goood though omg he ate that scene up. The actor for the crazy lady was not good she was hooting and hollering. The ending was HORRIBLE. We moved so quick, first Chaeha was a dumbass and just listened to the people HE KNEW were suspects. Then he gets stabbed AGAIN. Like babe it’s lost its impact. Then we fade in and out of consciousness and surprise he’s alive on the AI beach. Wtf. Taeson was the threat why wasn’t he in danger, that would’ve been more impactful and a good twist. We spent no time in that moment either. Also let’s talk AI, this drama was like 50% AI, the intro was ugly and all the unnecessary use of it was gross. The editing was so jarring it had me motion sick, did AI do that too? Did AI write the ending? Who knows. It was pointless to use AI, they didn’t need to. There’s no excuse. Back to some positives the acting and chemistry was amazing. They really did a good job. Honestly if they didn’t use AI and actually put effort into the ending this would’ve been amazing. Like world changing for BL. But it wasn’t so…basically don’t watch this lol.

258. Connecting to You
Taiwanese Drama - 2026, 12 episodes
This was so cute! I loved the couple and their dynamics. It was kind of enemies to lovers but with a more comedic twist. The humor was very funny and bizarre but not overdone. I liked the cast design and thought they all interacted with each other well. I also liked the progression of the main couple (mostly) they both are great actors. They did a good job of blending the comedy and the angst. This was really fun to watch. My complaint is with the ending. It was lackluster. They built up to Daweis abuse storyline but it ended super fast. Jakai forces him to deal with it. Forcing a victim to confront their abuser is maybe not the best idea. Then with one altercation it’s over and he feels better. Interesting. I liked the conversation with the mom, she wasn’t a great mom but she was a victim too. I wished we sat with his sadness longer or had a moment where he is actually comforted. Also I find it weird that there was no confession, they just got together. They didn’t even show us them agreeing to be a couple. They had some cute dating scenes, but I wanted more. It moved so fast. Also there was no other kissing scene? We got a drunk kiss and that’s all? It just ended and I was like, that’s it?? They really could’ve used more time. Longer episodes or more, just enough so we could actually see them as a couple (or have that confession lol). That’s my biggest complaint, it moved way too fast. Anyways, I loved the concept and plot, I love the threads that was so cool. Overall it was really fun and cute but I wanted moreeee.

259. The Heart Killers

Controversial opinion: this was good? So yes I see the critique that if GMMTV hadn’t been so cheesy and focused on comedy this could’ve been better. That is very true. Despite that, this was still really good. So the plot, it was very interesting. The double agent aspect of Kant and then the two of them being hitman, along with the plot twist of the mom. All of it was done well and I was locked in. The action was good too, realistic guns and fighting. I liked Kant being a spy and Style doing it all for a car until he later finds out the truth. This made the dynamics so interesting. Kant and Bison were fun and the way Kant was lying but felt guilty and Bison was clueless it was great. Also amazing chemistry, obviously it’s FirstKhao. Then the nonchalant Fadel with the absolutely insane Style. Dunks portrayal of Style was so good. Joongs portrayal of Fadel was even better. He looked so hot too omg. Anyways their dynamic was actually perfect. They also served heartbreaking scenes over and over. They are why I kept watching. The emotional grittiness that I wanted was found in them. Seriously JoongDunk did phenomenal. I will be stuck on these two for the rest of my life. So yes the acting was amazing, no complaints. My complaints are the comedy. What was good, was Styles character, there’s always comedic relief. What was bad was the unnecessary dancing and absurd scenes that didn’t make sense. Why are we at paintball, why are we at a science museum? Also how did they keep that burger joint open with two employees. They should’ve been running a street stall and Fadels dream would be having a restaurant. They went over the top with random things. Honestly the ending could’ve been, they turn themselves in without the bfs knowing, something more emotional. Then they don’t just go into jail with them, like let’s have actual stakes. Anyways what i’m trying to say is this was really good but it could’ve been so much better if GMMTV took it seriously.

This was okay. Visually it was very pretty, cinematic and the colors were great. Camera angles were mostly good, there were some jarring moments. There were some ads but nothing too horrible. The main couple was cute, enemies to lovers. I liked the way it shifted when Kang realized just how bad Sailom had it. It’s hard to get over how bad of a bully Kang was. Especially since he didn’t really change, once the incident with the brother happened he just flipped back. Like he totally abandoned Sailon and was like “poor people always attack rich people.” Lmao like no? The side couples dynamic was cute and I would’ve liked it if not for Pawin. He’s not a good person so that kind of ruined it. The lesbian almost side couple was uncomfortable, the age gap and power dynamic wasn’t cool. There was a hint at another side couple in the group but it didn’t happen. I loved Saifah and Name though, doomed yaoi? Hell yeah. Perth and Chimons chemistry was okay, they are both great actors but I did feel like they were good friends rather than full romantic chemistry. Maybe it was supposed to feel that way because like first love awkward vibes. The plot was good, it kind of dragged on. The stakes felt wobbly like sometimes I didn’t really care. Overall it wasn’t bad but I did get bored and it didn’t really leave an impact on me.
