A Heartbreak in All the Wrong Ways

I love episode 1 to 3 but episode 4 is such a let downThe apology scene on campus was so painful to watch. They bullied him, vandalised his door, and made his life miserable. Then suddenly, after overhearing a short conversation between Ice and another student about Professor Mint, they realised Ice was the real victim and decided to apologise. Watching all five bullies pour paint over themselves as a form of apology felt so empty. It was meant to be emotional, but instead it came across as awkward and forced. I couldn’t feel any sincerity from it, just discomfort.The GL kiss and NC scene also felt misplaced. If they wanted to explore that relationship, they should have built the emotional connection first. There was no chemistry or buildup, so the kiss felt random and unnecessary. Instead of adding depth, it took me out of the moment completely.Then came the balcony scene, which was supposed to be the emotional turning point between Saint and Ice. For three episodes, we watched Ice’s anger and heartbreak build because of the misunderstanding. The tension between them was so powerful, but in this episode, it all vanished in a few seconds. Just a quick explanation that Saint’s dad took his phone and sent those messages, and suddenly everything was fine. Something that was meant to be heartbreaking and meaningful ended up feeling rushed and hollow.And that final drunk kiss… it left me feeling conflicted. Were they acting in character for the play, or was it real? Did they kiss because they finally cleared the air, or because they were drunk and confused? Ice still has a boyfriend, so the whole moment just felt wrong. If so, that makes it cheating, being drunk doesn’t excuse it. At least show him breaking up with his boyfriend first.The only part that truly touched me was when they held hands and started crying as they shared how much they missed each other. That moment felt so real. Their emotions finally poured out, and both actors did such an amazing job showing their pain and love. It was raw, genuine, and heartbreaking to watch.Overall, episode 4 left me sad, not because of the story’s tragedy, but because it lost the emotional depth that made the first three episodes so special. I just hope the next episode brings back the sincerity and connection that once made this series so moving.

A Light and Charming Japanese BL

Wow, I didn’t expect this new Japanese BL to pop up on my GagaOOLala app on a quiet Sunday, but what a pleasant surprise. The first episode did not disappoint. The story may be simple, but it carries that quiet, heartfelt charm that Japanese BLs always capture so well.Hioki is quiet, awkward, and a little withdrawn, the complete opposite of Tokai, who is tall, handsome, and one of the most popular boys in school. Opposites definitely attract, and I can’t wait to see how their chemistry unfolds. When Hioki accidentally promises Tokai that he’ll do anything for him, it leaves us wondering what Tokai will ask for, maybe something he’s been hiding all along, like a secret crush from their primary school days.The cast fits perfectly, the music is soft and nostalgic, and the atmosphere feels warm and sincere. It’s a simple yet captivating start that already has me hooked. Looks like my Sundays just got a lot sweeter until the end of the year.

When Love Meets Forensics A Crime BL Masterpiece

I am completely speechless. Since The Sign in 2023, there hasn’t been a proper police BL series, and finally we have one that brings everything I love together, police, crime, and forensic investigation. Goddess Bless You from Death is an absolute masterpiece. Even better, both Pavel and Pooh return and deliver such incredible performances that I couldn’t look away for a second.This series is everything I have ever wanted in a BL. The crime scenes are chilling, the ghosts are terrifying, and every moment keeps me on edge. The pacing is sharp, the music builds tension perfectly, and the visuals are dark and cinematic. It captures the essence of mystery and horror while still giving space for emotion and connection.Pavel shines as Officer Singha, the tough but rational cop, while Pooh as Thup brings depth and vulnerability through his ability to see ghosts. Their chemistry feels magnetic, growing stronger with each encounter, and I cannot wait to see their relationship evolve.This is easily one of my favorite BLs of the year. It is thrilling, emotional, and beautifully made. My Saturdays are set from now until January 2026.

Love and Rivalry Collide in Head 2 Head

Great start to another university BL. The first episode was light, fun, and entertaining from start to finish.It’s such a joy to see KeenSea from OnlyBoo and MuTeLuv back together, and once again their chemistry absolutely lights up the screen. Watching them bicker and challenge each other was pure fun. The story follows J and Jinn, long-time rivals who can’t be in the same space without throwing insults or glares. But when a racing accident leaves J under Jinn’s care, their constant head-to-head tension begins to shift into something deeper.The next-door neighbour enemies-to-lovers setup instantly reminds me of Bad Buddy, and I can already tell this series will deliver that same mix of humour, rivalry, and warmth. I can’t wait to see how two people who claim to hate each other end up falling in love. My Mondays until the end of the year are guaranteed to be full of laughter and sparks. The title Head 2 Head couldn’t be more fitting, because J and Jinn are bound to clash until love wins.

I Wanted to Love the Finale… But It Broke My Heart for the Wrong Reasons

I just finished the finale, and honestly, I’m heartbroken, not because of the story, but because of how disappointing it turned out to be.The first half of the series was everything I wanted: emotional, grand, and full of meaning. But the finale felt like a completely different show. The villain, who murdered countless people and nearly killed King Chaiyachet, somehow gets released? And then the entire cast breaks into a cheerful dance like it’s High School Musical. It felt absurd after all the tragedy and sacrifice we witnessed.They spent so many episodes building toward a great war, showing heartbreak, loyalty, and bloodshed, only to throw it all away with a voting subplot that made no sense. This wasn’t a modern democracy, it was historical Thailand, full of corruption and power struggles. Even the episode itself admitted that the “voting” was bribery, which made the message completely fall apart.And the endless resurrections drained all the emotion. How many times can the leads die and come back? King Chaiyachet’s death lost its weight, Jet got stabbed clean through and miraculously survived, and the Prince seemed to die over and over again. By the end, none of it felt believable.What frustrated me most was the lack of closure. For a time-travel story, not showing the modern world even once made the ending feel unfinished and hollow. It was like the story forgot where it began.I started this series with so much love and excitement, rating it a 10. The first half had magic. But as the episodes went on, that spark faded, and now, after the finale, I can only give it an 8 out of 10.Nut’s sassiness was the only light in this chaotic finale. He was effortlessly entertaining and truly carried so many scenes. Without him, I think this series would have felt even emptier.

A Love That Feels Eternal

This episode was incredible, fifty minutes passed in what felt like five. That almost-kiss is still stuck in my mind, leaving me restless. Now the wait for the next episode feels endless, like seven days will stretch into seven years.I’m sure they’ll finally kiss in Episode 4, especially with that water scene from the trailer. Everything between them is moving so fast. They argue and clash constantly, but there’s something deeper connecting them, something that feels older than this lifetime.Maybe they were lovers in the past, now reborn and drawn back together again. The historical flashbacks make me wonder if their story has been repeating through time, waiting for this moment to begin again.

The Weight of a Father’s Sin

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.

Explosive Start for a New Uni Enemies to Lovers BL

Yet another university enemies to lovers trope, but this one surprisingly starts with a big bang. I really enjoyed episode 1. There were no cringe moments or awkward background music like in many other uni BLs. The plot feels fresh and interesting, with the main couple already knowing each other and fate bringing them to share the same dorm room.I’m so used to seeing Ja paired with First, having watched three series with them, so it’s refreshing to see Ja (as Saint) acting alongside his new partner Tae (as Ice).Ice is cold, cocky, and incredibly talented. Can we take a moment to appreciate that he wrote and sang that song so beautifully? He can sing, play guitar, act, and he’s good-looking, a perfect match for Saint. Saint is gentle and caring, and it’s obvious he still has feelings for Ice. Their chemistry is electric. I loved the scene where Ice ate durian just to annoy Saint, yet Saint still washed and hung up his clothes. They’re practically living like a couple already.Their chemistry is off the charts, and I can’t wait to see their hearts slowly find their way back to each other. The first episode had it all: romance, comedy, tension, and great emotional build-up. My Wednesday nights are going to be fun with this series until January 2026.

Saenkaew’s father, cruel and unfeeling, barreled into their path, sending Sasin and his only son tumbling toward the brink of death. I can no longer defend Pin; she is destroying everyone around her, poor Sasin and Saenkaew caught in the chaos. That night, love, betrayal, and courage collided, leaving hearts shattered and destinies hanging by a fragile thread, setting the stage for another unforgettable episode filled with suspense and heartbreak.
