- I read this manhwa and it is DARK they toned down a lot of the extreme stuff to make one of the leads become more likeable, but it does still include: bullying, abuse, depression and suicide
- These are 2 rookie actors and they do a pretty good job - especially the boy playing the popular boy - its such a complex character, but he perfectly encapsulated the character from the manhwa
- There isn't a kiss - there's no kiss in the manhwa - the last episode was a special episode filmed months after the rest - its unnecessary and doesn't add anything to the series - its cute though, just not the same standard as the rest

- This was such a beautiful story and I loved how they intertwined the past and present and slowly revealed more about Ren's character
- This is on the steamier side of JBLs but the steam is mostly due to how intimate those few scenes feel - personally I feel the chemistry of the leads was top tier
- My one fault is that Ren was such an incredible character - there were so many layers to him - his charm, pain, charisma, trauma and his hidden over-whelming love, then adult Kazuma in comparison was a bit of a blank character - but the child actor for him brought a lot to the role

-
80. HIStory3: Make Our Days Count
Taiwanese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
- The acting is beyond brilliant, again some insane chemistry
- The direction is actually amazing, I was obsessed with it
- seeing our 2 leads open up and fall in love was so beautiful
- BUT ONLY WATCH TILL EPISODE 9 if you like happy endings, because they decided that the best HIStory couple was the one they should give a sad ending to, which ended the HIStory franchise and apparently the writer stole the idea anyway...ugh but its so well made
-

Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
- The side couples story from UWMA
- I had very low expectations for this after my problems I had with UWMA and the fact that I'm let down by the majority of this directors projects - most fans were let down by this, but my expectations were so low that I really liked it
- After ep1 I wasn't completely sold, but over the course of the first half I fell in love with these leads and their love

- Im not a fan of a time jump and I don’t feel it was completely necessary here, even though they tried to explain it

- This started out extremely strong, but I feel the story got a little confused as it kept going - but the leads casual chemistry kept this going
- Park Young Woon who plays the director is one of the best looking people I've ever seen on screen - its ridiculous
- They fake you out with a typical bad KBL kiss and then do an amazing one
-
88. Be My Favorite
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
- A man dissatisfied with his life discovers he is able to travel back in time to his university days after he finds out his first love is getting married
- I am such a HUGE Gawin fan and he did such an incredible job this was a very charming characte, but also so broken and in need of love - he delivered in all aspects
- i‘m not such a big fan of Krist but he did a really good job in this role - you could tell he really put everything into the performance
- I think the story was well told and mostly engaging, but (I know I am completely alone in thinking this) Krist and Gawins chemistry was a bit “meh” - it definitely has good moments, but overall I felt it was a little lacking
-
89. TharnType
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
- some lines and scenes in this are eyeroll worthy and laughable and the first episode has a PROBLEMATIC scene, but work through those cause
- their chemistry is some of the all time best

- This series is split in half each half telling a different stories:
- Payu meets rain and bets him that he has to make him fall in love with him in the next 30 days
- Prapai meets Sky and falls in love, but Sky has been hurt from his past relationships
- For me although Rain and Payus story made no sense it was superior too to the second story - their chemistry was electric - I was constantly blown away - but most fans prefer the second part

- The leads chemistry was quite lacking for me but they had some very cute moments

99. Lovely Writer
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
- BL author and lead in his series adaptation fall in love
- The lead (Up) in this is so incredibly talented, I'd seen him play a horrible character previously but in this he's adorable and just such a sweetheart
- The other lead is very pretty but compared to the other he's not as brilliant an actor (don't kill me!)
- It's really cute and sweet whilst making some extremely important points about the toxicity of the BL industry
