This looks to be a light and enjoyable BL series to look forward to every Thursday for the next six weeks 📺✨. At the moment, only two Korean BLs are currently airing, so hopefully we’ll see more released soon 🤞🇰🇷.
This may have led Jorn to misinterpret the situation, which could explain—though certainly not excuse—his subsequent behavior. That said, I still believe his actions were inappropriate.
Unfortunately, the lack of proper subtitles makes it difficult to fully grasp the context and nuances of the scene.
Do we have any Thai speakers here who could help clarify exactly what was said and what happened?
It's important to acknowledge that problematic depictions of sexual assault and romanticizing red flag behavior are not exclusive to BL (Boys' Love) series. These issues unfortunately exist across various genres, including straight romance dramas, both in Asian and Western media. The tendency to romanticize or mishandle traumatic experiences is an industry-wide concern, not one limited to BL.
That said, I recently watched Tokyo in April is…, a Japanese BL series where this issue was addressed with commendable seriousness. In the story, one of the main characters, Ren, is nearly sexually assaulted by a colleague. What stood out was the realistic and responsible handling of the situation — police intervention was shown, the assault was not downplayed or romanticized, and the perpetrator was held accountable. It’s one of the few examples where the gravity of the incident was acknowledged in a meaningful way.
Also, as a reminder, these stories are fictional. As clearly stated in the disclaimer that appears at the beginning of many series: “Characters, actions, places, occupations, and events in this series are fictional and created for entertainment purposes only. They are not intended to urge or promote any behaviour in the series. Viewer discretion is advised.”
While that doesn’t exempt a story from critique, it’s important to distinguish between fictional storytelling and real-life advocacy.
However, I still don’t agree with what Jorn did to Chain.
Pond as Armin 💙 really shines here. I already loved him in Fourever You, but this role suits him even better. His chemistry with Thada (Peterpan) 💛 is so good! No hate to Earth (I adore him too 🥺), but Pond and Peterpan just click 👏.
The first episode is 70 minutes long ⏱️, but it flew by. Not a single dull moment—just pure emotion, mystery, and intensity 🎢🔥.
And let’s talk visuals—the 1999 setting is chef’s kiss 👏✨. From vintage cars 🚗 and old-school phones 📞 to the old clothings 🏡, you can feel the effort that went into the production.
That line—“My life has been reset” 💔—ties so beautifully into the title and theme. Perfect metaphor.
My Mondays just got a whole lot better. Can’t wait for episode 2.
Also, I didn’t forget Secret Ghost or Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist—I simply chose not to include them because they don’t align with my personal interests
There haven’t been many releases this year, but I’ve watched Eternal Butler, Exclusive Love, and The Impression of Youth. Among them, Fight for You stands out as the strongest. I’d currently rate it a 9/10, but I’ll see how I feel after the finale airs this Wednesday.
I work in an office, which gives me the flexibility to keep up. I track the 20 currently airing BL dramas I follow in an Excel sheet synced to my phone, so I never miss an episode.
I also watch completed dramas—recently finished Until We Meet Again (2019)—and never skip scenes or speed-watch. I currently have around 90 titles on my watchlist.
When you’re passionate about something, it’s easy to stay on top of it and enjoy the process!
That said, the moment when Gene gave Nubsib the bracelet was beautiful and showed his commitment. 💖 Overall, it's an 8/10. Not terrible, but I would’ve preferred if they just ended it with the main series.
