What a steamy week this has been. First Thundercloud Rainstorm set the bar, then To My Shore came in with even more heat, and I truly thought it could not get any better. But Interminable proved me completely wrong. The NC scene in episode four was on another level. It felt real, intimate, and unbelievably erotic. The chemistry between them was so natural that it blurred the line between acting and reality.I thought BillyBabe in The Sign had already given us one of the hottest intimate moments in BL, and I honestly believed nothing could top it. Interminable shattered that belief in seconds. That scene was breathtaking. The way they touched each other, the way their bodies moved in sync, the heavy breathing, the lingering gazes, the softness mixed with raw desire. It felt less like a performance and more like two people who genuinely could not keep their hands off each other.There was passion in every kiss, fire in every breath, and a tenderness that made the heat even stronger. It had the intensity of real lovers completely lost in each other’s bodies. It is the kind of scene that leaves you speechless, flushed, and a little ruined for anything that comes after.

The first two episodes completely blew me away! Mandee Work has done it again, giving us another beautifully produced BL series. I already loved Big and Park in Monster Next Door, but they’re even more captivating here. The story takes a refreshing turn from the usual university setting, and Park’s black hair gives him a more mature and natural charm compared to his blonde look in his last role.From the very start, the show feels vibrant, heartfelt, and engaging. Phopthorn, a struggling convenience store worker, suddenly finds his soul inside the body of Apo, a billionaire with a handsome and mysterious fiancé, Suriya (Big), who can read minds. Imagine living your whole life poor, then waking up rich with a tall, hot, and charming fiancé, it’s literally every fantasy brought to life. Their dynamic is electric, full of tension, humor, and sweet chaos that keeps you glued to the screen.Every detail is beautifully crafted — from the elegant costumes and stunning mansion to the music and smooth cinematography. Big and Park’s chemistry is undeniable once again, and the balance of romance, comedy, and drama is spot on. “Me and Who” is easily shaping up to be one of the best new BLs of the year. My Fridays just got a lot brighter.

That underwater scene felt like a painting of sorrow, every movement heavy with grief.Khem returning to the past was haunting and beautiful, a window into the truth long buried.We saw Ramphueng, broken and frail after giving birth, cradling hope in her arms only to watch her son die before her eyes.Instead of justice, she was betrayed, her innocence shattered.Her husband, who should have stood beside her, cast her into the flames of cruelty.He chose not belief, but punishment, condemning her to death beneath the lash, each strike stripping away her humanity.A young woman of twenty-one, turned into a spirit of vengeance, her love for her child twisted into eternal anguish.How can we hate her when her pain is so raw, her suffering so merciless?Her story bleeds tragedy, and my heart breaks with hers.And then, Peem.The most beautiful soul, selfless and gentle, his face a portrait of perfection yet his life a canvas of loneliness.Always giving, always protecting, always forgetting himself for the sake of others.Even when poison coursed through his body and blood stained his eyes, his thoughts were not for his pain.He begged his disciples to abandon him, to save Khem instead.If that is not love, then love has no meaning.But love has never stayed with him.His mother, whom he longed to see, remained out of reach because he was bound to the path of a shaman.Grandma Si, the only one who truly loved him as her own, died before his eyes.Thong and Ake, the spirits who shared his days and kept the silence at bay, faded into nothingness.And finally, Khem, the one who carried his heart, walked away.Peem’s words as he held Khem’s hand broke me into pieces:“I have no one left, Khem. Please stay with me. Please do not leave me.”Yet even as those words fell trembling from his lips, Khem still chose to go.His mind poisoned by guilt, convinced that all the deaths were his burden, he thought leaving was the only way.But I pray the day will come when regret brings him back to the one who loved him most.For now, Peem is left in silence, an empty soul with no one to hold.If the world will not have him, then let me take his sorrow, for I would never let him be alone.What an episode, what a masterpiece of heartbreak.Ramphueng’s tragic past, Grandma Si’s death, the sacrifice of Thong and Ake, and Peem left abandoned in the ruins of love.Rarely does every episode carry such depth, such relentless emotion, never once letting us breathe.We are blessed, even in tears, to witness such beauty.Three Thai BL masterpieces shine at once: Khemjira, Love in the Moonlight, and The Wicked Game.I wait for the next episode with both dread and longing, knowing it will shatter me again.

The hospital scene between Jerome and Jinn was such a soft punch to the heart. They’re still so young, yet the way they look at each other and speak with that quiet maturity feels overwhelmingly tender. When Jinn said, “Promise me, if something happens to me one day, I’ll know you did your best, so don’t blame yourself,” it was the kind of line that settles deep. Sometimes a single sentence like that is all you need to feel safe, seen and held, even in the middle of fear.And honestly, I completely understand the frustration with Farm forgiving Van so quickly. Imagine liking someone for years, carrying all that hope, and then finally hearing them confess. Your heart is wide open, you feel like you’re finally getting the love you’ve waited for… and then suddenly they get drunk and almost kiss someone else. Even with all the apologies in the world, that moment still shatters something.A pause can be healthy. Sometimes stepping back is the only way someone realises the weight of the person standing in front of them. You truly feel the value of someone when you risk losing them. If forgiveness comes too easily, the lesson doesn’t sink in, and history quietly finds a way to repeat itself.Just like raising a child, when there are no real consequences, the lesson never lands. For love to grow stronger, sometimes it needs a period of loss to make both people realise what truly matters.

Wow what an emotional and beautifully crafted start. Reloved takes the familiar ex-to-lovers trope, but somehow makes it feel deeper, heavier and far more heartfelt than usual. The moment the kids appeared, everything shifted. There is something so healing about seeing two broken hearts forced back into each other’s orbit because their niece and nephew go to the same school. Nene and Marvin completely stole my heart they’re adorable, warm and full of innocence, and they add a softness that makes every scene with Than and Akin hurt just a little more.From the first episode, you can feel the pain between them. Than looks like he is barely holding himself together, stuck in a love he never truly let go of. Akin clearly left for a reason, and I’m already bracing myself for whatever heartbreaking truth caused their split. Their quiet glances, their hesitation, even their bitterness… it all feels so real.Peter and Golf surprised me so much in this series. Their acting carries both the sadness of the past and the exhaustion of the present with such maturity. The flashbacks to their university days were beautiful and nostalgic, almost too warm compared to their current distance, which makes it even more painful. And let’s be honest that NC scene in the first ten minutes was incredibly real, raw and intimate. The safe-sex detail with the condoms was such a thoughtful touch, clearly placed for awareness rather than product promotion.The music hits at all the right emotional points, the cinematography has that warm yet melancholic glow, and the entire setup of two men raising kids while facing old wounds feels refreshing for a Thai BL. It’s mature, heartfelt and already so addictive. I also absolutely love the title Reloved — a perfect metaphor for two people trying to figure out if love can be rebuilt from ruins.If episode one already hurt this much, I can only imagine what’s coming. This is going to be one emotional journey, and I’m definitely here for it.

Is it just me, or is anyone else completely drained after watching these siblings claw at each other, fight nonstop, and try to kill one another for ten whole episodes? By the time they all died at the end, the only thing I felt was relief. The silence after the chaos felt almost peaceful. It is heartbreaking how greed can rot a family from the inside, how wealth can twist love into hatred. It reminded me of those tragic historical dramas where princes and princesses shed their own blood just to climb a throne that was never worth it.I have eight siblings myself. We argue, we disagree, and a few I do not always get along with. But the thought of hurting them, even for a second, feels impossible. Watching this family destroy itself felt strangely personal, like witnessing the worst version of what a family could become.I started this series ready to give it a 1010, but slowly dropped it to a 9/10. OffRoad and Daou carried the show with their talent and chemistry, but it was Pheem’s story that broke me. This boy, robbed of his childhood in the cruelest way. Forced to watch his stepmother run over and kill his mother right before his eyes.And the person who should have saved him, his father, chose cruelty instead. He abandoned him. Sent him away. Took everything from him without a second thought. That night did not just hurt him, it destroyed him. It carved itself into his soul, leaving behind a scar so deep that even the tattoo he later used to cover the wound could not erase its memory. He returned not as a son, but as a ghost carrying years of grief, anger, and a quiet, cold desire for justice.The saddest part is that none of this suffering needed to happen. All this chaos, all this death, every broken life, trace it back and it all started with the father’s greed. In all this darkness, Daou and Offroad still managed to shine. Seeing my favourite pairing from Century of Love and Love in Translation again felt like a small light in this bleak world. Offroad’s transformation into Pheem was haunting. He became someone almost unrecognisable, a man shaped by trauma, and his performance proved just how powerful he is as an actor.But even with all that brilliance, the constant shootings, the messy plot, and the ceaseless sibling betrayals wore me out. It was overwhelming at times. Still, despite the chaos and the sadness, I found myself deeply invested. And in the end, I can honestly say I still enjoyed the drama.

Holly Molly that NC bed scene in episode 5 was pure fire. The way they were kissing while smoking, letting that warm smoke slip between their lips and into the air, made everything feel even more intoxicating. It turned the whole moment into something raw, sensual and dangerously addictive. Fan Xiao pressing in close, their breaths mixing with that thin trail of smoke curling around them, it was honestly one of the sexiest visuals I have seen in a BL.And when Fan Xiao whispered Wǒ ài nǐ in that low, breathless voice, it was game over. My whole body froze. It was intimate, possessive, erotic in the most stunning way.We are only at episode 5 and I am already cooked. Ten more episodes like this and I might not survive.

I feel like with Billy and Babe, The Sign started off with a big bang in episode 1, but this one feels slower., I realised a lot actually happened in the first episode, there’s so much more to consider now. It might be a different genre, but as always, Billy and Babe shine on screen, and I can’t wait for the next episode.

The first two episodes of Peach Trap completely won me over. It’s cute, warm, and so easy to love. All four leads are stunning, and Yoo Do Ha is simply adorable. I love how the story gives us romance without toxicity, just pure affection and playful jealousy. The music, the chemistry, and the cozy atmosphere make it feel like a gentle escape. I still can’t believe it’s rated R18+ because it feels more like a soft, heartfelt love story. A perfect 10/10 start and one of the best Korean BLs of the year so far.

Wow, the first two episodes of Peach Trap did not disappoint. They were everything I hoped for, sweet, funny, and beautifully shot. All four male leads are absolutely stunning, each bringing their own charm and warmth to the story. The music fits perfectly, creating that soft yet exciting Korean BL atmosphere I love. The plot instantly pulled me in, reminding me a little of Secret Relationships, my favourite Korean BL this year, where three men fall for one person. But unlike that messy, toxic love triangle, Peach Trap feels lighthearted and pure, with no possessive or abusive tones, just genuine affection and jealousy that feels natural and fun.Yoo Do Ha is the heart of the story. He’s small, adorable, and innocent, the kind of character who doesn’t even realise how lovable he is. No wonder three gorgeous men are drawn to him. His team leader, Jeon, may seem cold and strict, but underneath that exterior, he truly cares for Do Ha. When everyone turned their backs after Do Ha was framed and fired, Jeon was the only one who believed in his innocence. Then there’s Yeon Ha Ram, the aloof café worker who treats most customers with distance but softens instantly around Do Ha, offering him free drinks and quiet smiles. And finally, Taek Gyeon, the protective and athletic childhood friend, a taekwondo instructor with a sculpted body and a heart full of loyalty.Watching these three men orbit around Do Ha is simply delightful. Their jealousy is playful rather than cruel, making the love square feel both chaotic and charming. I love that the series balances humor, emotion, and romantic tension without slipping into toxicity. It’s a rare kind of storytelling that feels safe yet still thrilling to watch.Peach Trap is a refreshing addition to this year’s Korean BL lineup, a soft and heartwarming escape from the darker, more dramatic stories we’ve seen. I can’t believe it’s rated R18+ on iQIYI, it feels more like a cozy romance than anything scandalous. If the first two episodes are anything to go by, this will easily become my second favourite Korean BL of the year, right after Secret Relationships. I’m so excited to see how this whirlwind of love unfolds in the coming weeks.10/10 A sweet, non-toxic, beautifully filmed romantic comedy that captures the magic of modern BL storytelling.

Omg I’m having so much fun with this series! The enemies-to-lovers energy between Jinn and J is absolutely hilarious. They hate each other’s guts like it’s their full-time job 😂 My favorite scene has to be when they’re pretending to be all sweet and polite in front of their parents, then the second the parents leave, it’s back to pure chaos and insults flying everywhere. Honestly, this is exactly what I needed after a stressful Monday at work!

This series is just so cute and sweet. Opposites really do attract, and it makes every scene even more adorable. What makes it stand out even more is their friend group, just a bunch of guys hanging out and having fun, and it feels so natural and warm.And next week they’re wearing traditional Japanese clothes instead of their school uniforms. I’m seriously so excited for it!

Wow episode 6 completely shattered me.After years of loneliness and being unloved by his father and siblings, Pheem finally found warmth in Than, his bodyguard. The irony hits so deep. The same man who once protected him as a child now shields him again as an adult, not just out of duty but out of love. Their kiss and every moment between them felt so real and raw, like two broken souls finally finding a home in each other after a lifetime of emptiness.For those who watched Love in Translation or Century of Love, you already know this couple has unmatched chemistry. Even behind the scenes they look so natural together, their smiles, their playful glances, those genuine kisses that feel too real to just be acting.What melted my heart most were the quiet moments. Their morning hugs, brushing their teeth together, the soft back hugs, little dates, and the thought that Than is planning to introduce Pheem to his parents. It felt so pure, so healing.But happiness never lasts long in The Wicked Game. Risa and Chet’s cruel words poisoned everything, telling Than that Pheem had planned it all and that he was nothing but a liar. Then Than’s colleague discovered that Pheem was the one who destroyed his shop, tearing apart the last pieces of trust.Yet Than still chose love. He turned a blind eye because his heart already belonged to Pheem. And Pheem, even buried under all his lies, only ever told the truth about one thing, his love for Than. That love was real. He proved it when he took the bullet and almost died to save him. Revenge consumed him, but love still defined him.This is exactly why I love this series so much. If Pheem were just a perfect green flag character, it would be forgettable. But it’s his lies, his guilt, his wicked heart, and the way he still loves that make this story so powerful. The Wicked Game shows that love doesn’t have to be pure to be real. Sometimes it’s twisted, painful, and absolutely unforgettable.

No wonder the three siblings turned out this way. In their home, there was no love, only power and control.Their father cared more about his hundred-billion-dollar hospital than his own children. To him, money and power meant more than family.Now the siblings are turning against each other. Each of them has their own bodyguard, and those bodyguards will soon become their lovers.When you grow up without love from your father, you turn to the ones closest to you — and for them, that’s their bodyguards.That’s how love begins, quietly, where it was never given.

I was completely lost during the first ten minutes, so I had to pause and read the plot summary. That was the best decision I made because everything made so much more sense afterward. My biggest tip for anyone starting this series is to read the synopsis first. It doesn’t spoil anything, but it gives you the right context to understand Alan and what’s actually happening.This is the first time I’ve seen Tou in a leading role, and his performance as Alan absolutely blew me away. He’s intense and expressive, showing fear, confusion, and raw emotion with every scene. There’s one shower scene that stood out not just for his perfect physique but for how terrifying it felt because of the mirror. The combination of vulnerability and fear was brilliant.Pentor as Win finally got his time to shine after acting in so many supporting roles, finally got a main role in this series, and even though he only appeared briefly, I could already feel the chemistry between him and Tou. It’s a pairing I didn’t expect to work this well, but it does.The series opens with a dark, chilling atmosphere that immediately pulls you in. The haunting score, eerie visuals, and strong cinematography create a sense of unease that doesn’t let go. It’s intense, psychological, and slightly terrifying.This is my first BL with a visual hallucination and mental hospital setting, and I love how different it feels from the usual light, fluffy stories.I genuinely don’t recommend watching this alone at night like I did because it left me staring nervously at my own mirror afterward. But despite the fear, I’m completely hooked.For anyone who felt lost after watching the first episode like I did, don’t give up or judge it too quickly. The confusion is part of the experience, not a flaw. If everything were explained right away, the mystery and tension that make this genre so captivating would disappear. Mystique in the Mirror is meant to leave you questioning and uneasy, that’s what makes it so intriguing. Personally, I thought the first episode was executed really well and perfectly captured the tone of a true psychological BL.If the next episodes keep up this level of mystery, emotion, and tension, Mystique in the Mirror could easily become one of the most unique BLs of the year.
