This is why Saint has appeared,
to mend the shattered pieces of Ice’s heart, to gather every fragment with gentle hands, and love him in all the places he thought love could never reach.

What’s your rating? Definitely a 10/10 for me. Hands down my favourite drama of 2023.

The best part is that you can binge-watch it all in one go. When it first came out, I was so addicted that I kept rewatching the same episodes over and over while waiting for the next one. Waiting seven days felt like waiting seven years for each episode! But if I were you, I’d wait a little longer, the uncensored version is coming out soon.

Also, if you like Billy and Babe, their new series Interminable is releasing in just two weeks!

Thank you, I heard of Gelboys but never get a chance to watch it. Added to my watch list.

Many despise the Prince’s father. I, too, cannot defend his cruelty, yet I see the ache behind his rage. He was a man who lost his wife, whose only son loved in a way the world refused to understand. In the 1960s, love between two men was not only forbidden, it was condemned, punished, erased. To be royal was to live under glass, where whispers could destroy empires. He wanted to protect his son from that ruin, but he did it in the only way he knew, through fear, through control, through pain. He broke the very heart he wished to save.

When he ordered Sasin to be shot, his voice trembled, saying not in the heart. Even in cruelty, love flickered like a dying flame refusing to fade. Many say he was forgiven too easily, that his punishment was too soft for the wounds he caused. But time changes men. A year alone in silence, haunted by regret, sick in body and hollow in soul, he learned that gold means nothing when the heart is empty, that a kingdom without love is only a grave. Grandmother’s wisdom reached him when no one else could. And when his son returned, forgiveness was not weakness, it was mercy reborn.

Some cannot understand why Prince Saenkaew forgave. But perhaps only those of us who carry the weight of Asian blood can feel it. In my world, parents are not abandoned to age and loneliness. Even when they wound us, we remain bound by invisible threads of love and duty. Blood remembers. Blood endures. Prince Saenkaew missed his father, missed his home, missed the family that once broke him. Because once parents are gone, they are gone forever. Even sinners are still fathers.

So for me, this ending is perfect. Prince Saenkaew and Sasin had their year of peace, their season of love unbound by fear. Then they returned, not to erase the past, but to heal it. Forgiveness was their rebellion, love their quiet victory. And let us not forget, every great story needs its shadow. Without the father, this tale would lose its fire, its depth, its ache. He was the storm that made their love shine brighter. Through pain, they found their way home. Through ruin, they found grace. For many, this was the perfect ending, and for me, it was poetry in sorrow.

I agree with all the shows you mentioned, every single one of them is a 9+ or even a 10 for me!
I’ve also added these to your list:
• Shine
• My Sweetheart Jom
• The Love Never Sets (airing)
• The Cursed Love (airing)
• Me and Who (airing)
• The Wicked Game (airing)
• Lover Merman (airing)


These are just Thai and only for 2025. We are so lucky this year.

After watching BLs for over 10 years, I’ve gotta say 2025 is hands down the best year yet. So many amazing series dropping left and right. Here’s my list of the best BLs of 2025, ranked by country.

Tell me if you agree, if not, what’s yours?

Thailand 🇹🇭 Love in The Moonlight
China 🇨🇳Revenged Love
Taiwan 🇹🇼 Secret Lover
South Korea 🇰🇷 Secret Relationships
Japan 🇯🇵 Stay by My Side after the Rain
Vietnam 🇻🇳 Awaiting Dawn

I’m so glad I defended Grandma from the very beginning.
She was never cruel, only clueless, lost in a world she didn’t understand.
So many spoke against her, calling her useless, blind, a burden
but I saw the gentleness beneath her silence.

When she finally learned the truth about Prince Saenkaew and Sasin,
her heart opened without hesitation.
Her voice trembled with regret as she said,
“If only they had told me from the start, I could have helped.”

Those words shattered me.
They carried sorrow, love, and a quiet ache that the father could never feel.
While others turned away, she became the light that stayed.

I get what you mean but regardless of how horrible the parents are, the baby is still innocent. Countless children are born into terrible families, abusive homes, addiction, neglect, yet they still deserve a chance at life. A baby can’t choose their parents and it’s cruel to justify their death because of who they were born to. The professor and his wife deserve punishment for their actions but wishing death on an unborn child crosses a line. Innocent life shouldn’t be collateral damage for the sins of the parents.

Episode 1 began like a puzzle of pain. Ice and Saint already knew each other, but the air between them was cold, sharp, and full of questions. What had broken them so deeply that even their eyes could no longer meet without trembling?

Episode 2 unraveled that silence beautifully. The idea of the notebook, filled with Ice’s handwriting, his doodles, his quiet feelings captured on paper, became a window to their past. Through those pages, we saw how they met, how laughter once replaced the tears that now stained their memories. It was such a brilliant way to tell their story, love written in ink, now smudged by time and regret.

Then came the heartbreak. Another father poisoned by homophobia, another wall built from cruelty. Ice arrived with a teddy bear, ready to congratulate Saint on his graduation, a small gesture but one filled with so much love. Yet, Saint’s father stopped him at the door, his words slicing through Ice like a blade: “Saint already has a girlfriend. Don’t come here again.”

And just like that, the rain that once united them became the rain that washed Ice away. He walked home drenched not only in water but in sorrow. He never knew the truth, that Saint never had a girlfriend, that it was all a lie, a cruel misunderstanding that grew into tragedy.

Ice’s pain runs deeper than the surface. A father who drank away his love, debts that chained his youth, and now, when he finally found someone to love, another father crushed that fragile hope to dust.

But fate was not done tormenting him. The man who should have guided him, his professor, his mentor, betrayed him in the most unforgivable way. Drugged, violated, filmed. His innocence stolen and paraded before the world that chose to judge, not protect. Instead of justice, he was handed shame.

Then came the final blow, his father’s death, the debt collectors’ cruelty. Forced into adult films, Ice’s body became currency, his soul left bleeding. Each night he closes his eyes only to face another nightmare, the same wounds replaying in the darkness.

Yet fate, cruel as it may be, leaves a single thread of mercy. Ice finds himself sharing a room with Saint once more. Perhaps destiny is offering him one last chance, a chance for Saint to become the light that reaches through the cracks, to remind Ice that love still exists.

Because sometimes, the most broken hearts are the ones most capable of love, if only someone is brave enough to hold them again. 💔

I get the anger at shitty parents, but saying you’re glad the professor’s wife miscarried is too far. Wishing harm on an innocent baby is cruel and takes away any moral ground.

Yes, the professor is evil and should be punished by law. The wife’s slap was wrong, but she didn’t deserve to lose her child. The baby is innocent and has nothing to do with this, it didn’t choose its parents, didn’t do anything wrong, and shouldn’t suffer for their mistakes. We should punish the guilty, not celebrate an innocent life lost.

Episode 12 & 13: Synopsis on GagaOOLala..
"After the marriage, Pinanong suffers from her husband’s coldness and lack of love. Her father then shows her photos of Saenkaew and Sasin kissing, ordering her to go through divorce and seize the family fortune. Realizing that Saenkaew and Sasin’s love is sincere, Pinanong decides to upend her father’s scheme"

My Theory is the key word here is “upend.” In this context, it means to overturn, disrupt, or completely reverse. When it says Pin decides to upend her father’s scheme, it means she plans to thwart or ruin his plan, going against his orders and stopping him from using the situation to his advantage. It carries a sense of taking decisive action to turn things around or turn the tables.
So maybe Pin will change and side with Prince Saenkaew and Sasin, letting them be together. Fingers crossed, I hope I’m right for the finale!

Yeah, I just saw it on GagaOOLala..

The final episode is two hours long, and here’s my theory:
Episode 12 (version 1) will be the happy ending, and Episode 12 (version 2) will be the sad ending.
Those who’ve watched 609 Bedtime Story will know what I mean, that series also had two alternate endings.

This is just my theory, but it makes sense. Why else would the final episode be two hours long? Why not just make it Episode 13 instead of breaking their usual tradition?

Both shows are flawless works of art, shining in their own way yet Love in the Moonlight touched my soul a little deeper and claimed my heart completely.

I thought GMMTV had a curse on their 11th episodes, but now it looks like ONE31 is doing it too.

So many people keep comparing the two versions, but honestly, I love both the Thai and Japanese ones. Why can’t we just enjoy them both?

Did you watch it without subtitles? I’m saving it for tomorrow when the subtitles come out on GagaOOLala. It’s already too sad to watch, even worse without understanding what they’re saying.
