Everything I Love in One BL: Crime, Forensics, Mystery, Romance and Two Gorgeous Couples
Police, crime, forensic investigation and mystery are some of my favourite genres, so this series was already right up my alley. Even better, it is a BL from the director of Top Form, one of my favourite BLs from last year. Naturally, my expectations were already pretty high after watching all three trailers, but after three episodes, I can confidently say this series has not disappointed me at all.
This series started with a huge bang and immediately felt so different and unique. I absolutely love the concept of how many times someone can die and the different attempts throughout history, from the AD era all the way to modern times. Watching these different deaths unfold across different periods was such an interesting way to introduce the story, and it instantly pulled me in.
One thing I am especially happy about is that we finally have two proper main couples, rather than one main couple and a supporting couple. Both couples already feel like they are going to play an important role in the overall story, with the themes of Revenge, Death, Truth and Love connecting everything together. That makes the series even more exciting for me because I genuinely feel like both relationships will matter to the plot.
Our First Couple
This is my third time watching Tongtong, who plays Inspector Ken. I previously saw him in To Sir, With Love and The Wicked Game, where he had supporting roles, so I am genuinely happy to finally see him take on his first main BL role.
Inspector Ken is cold, distant and emotionally closed off. He has lived through so many different generations and has tried to die hundreds of times, yet somehow he continues to exist. There is such a sadness surrounding his character because it feels like he has been trapped in this endless darkness for so long. I really believe James is going to become the light at the end of his endless tunnel.
He is paired with Boss, who plays Police Officer James, and from what I can tell, this is Boss's first series. James is tall, attractive, a hot blooded young officer with such a funny and energetic personality. He is honestly so much fun to watch and is already my favourite character.
James brings such a fun energy to the series. His comedy adds some much needed lightness to what could otherwise be a very dark and heavy story. I also love his supernatural ability to read people's minds and determine whether they are lying, which is such a cool power for a police officer, especially during interrogations.
Their chemistry already feels so fresh and natural. I love how they constantly clash, annoy each other and seem to hate being around one another. Their relationship has this constant tension that makes every scene between them so entertaining.
And the fact that they literally put red tape down the middle of their office to divide the space so they can stay away from each other? I CAN'T WITH THESE TWO. 😂
Their eye contact in the car and in the classroom was already so intense and thrilling. I am absolutely here for the rivals to lovers storyline.
And we already got our first kiss!
It was explosive.
I cannot wait to see how their relationship develops from here.
Our Second Couple
Moving on to our second couple, they are completely different from Ken and James. Their relationship feels much sweeter, softer and more caring, which gives us a really nice contrast between the two couples.
This is also my second time seeing Toey, who plays forensic pathologist Dr Jirat. I previously watched him in Top Form, where he had a supporting role, and I have always wanted to see him get a bigger part. I am so glad he finally got his chance here.
He is paired with Phoom as Chita, Jirat's medical assistant, and together they make another beautiful pairing. I am really interested to see how their relationship develops because while Ken and James bring tension and chaos, Jirat and Chita seem to bring warmth and tenderness.
Both couples also have incredible visuals. They look absolutely stunning together, and honestly, the casting is one of the biggest highlights for me. Everyone fits their roles so well, especially with the darker atmosphere and tone of the story.
The Story
The story combines police investigation, forensic medical examination, crime, mystery and supernatural elements, with a series of mysterious arsons gradually uncovering secrets that have been hidden for years.
As James investigates the strange incidents alongside Inspector Ken, the case becomes far more complicated than it initially appears. Meanwhile, Medical Examiner Jirat and his assistant Chita follow their own clues and begin uncovering connections between the victims and the strange events surrounding the fires.
What I really enjoy is how the investigation slowly brings everything together while also introducing this supernatural mystery involving secrets from the past. There is a great balance between crime investigation, forensic work, romance and supernatural suspense, which gives the series a much darker and more intriguing atmosphere.
The Production
I also absolutely love the overall presentation. The intense music, suspenseful investigation scenes, dark atmosphere, stunning cinematography and gorgeous cast all work together so well.
Everything feels polished and cinematic. The series manages to feel thrilling and mysterious while still giving us the romance, chemistry and character moments we expect from a BL.
My only minor criticism is the use of AI in a few scenes. I later noticed the disclaimer at the beginning of the episode saying, “During the production process, AI technology was used in certain scenes to support on set safety.”
You can definitely notice it in a few moments, but honestly, it was used so little that it barely bothered me. I would rather have a show with a small amount of barely noticeable AI than not have the show at all. At the end of the day, the plot, chemistry, acting and overall production are much more important to me, and this series delivers on all of those. The AI use was so minimal that it really did not take away from my enjoyment of the show.
And honestly, three episodes in and I am already completely hooked.
This is shaping up to be one of my favourite crime and police investigation BLs of the year. If you enjoy mystery, crime, police investigations, forensic medical examiners, supernatural elements, gay romance and darker BL stories, this is definitely one you should check out.
So far, this series is a standout for me. I am completely hooked and cannot wait to see where the mystery, the investigations and both relationships take us.
