One Drunken Kiss, One Forbidden Summer, and Two Beautiful Boys Who Were Meant to Fall in Love!

I watched the 57 minute movie version of The Summer You Kissed Me on GagaOOLala instead of watching the individual five episodes, and honestly, I am so glad I did because I absolutely cannot stand waiting every week for the next episode!

This was such a cute, adorable and surprisingly charming little BL. Wang Chen Rui as Gao Ran, an art student, immediately caught my attention from the opening scene where he is naked and drawing himself while looking into a mirror. Drawing yourself is already difficult enough, but doing it while staring at your own reflection takes some serious skill. And yes, his body definitely made that opening scene even more memorable!

Then Gao Ran meets Chen Zihan as Mosua, and their first interaction instantly turns into clashes, bickering and playful arguments. Their chemistry was so much fun to watch. For Gao Ran, it was basically love at first sight, and I absolutely loved how openly flirtatious and dirty minded he was whenever Mosua was around. It gave his character so much personality and added a really fun charm to their dynamic.

One of my favourite moments was when Gao Ran described Mosua as white and cute like a lychee and then basically said he could not wait to peel his lychee. 😂 That was an absolutely wild line to say, but somehow it perfectly suited Gao Ran!

Then they meet again at a bar, things get complicated, and they end up kissing. It was a drunken kiss, but the chemistry between them was intense and surprisingly passionate. What made it even more interesting was that this was both of their first time experiencing something like this with another man. They were clearly confused about their feelings and what the kiss actually meant to them.

Luckily, Mosua's flight gets cancelled, giving them another chance to see each other. I really enjoyed how the story eventually moved beyond the idea of a one night stand. Their confession towards the end was genuinely adorable because they realised they did not just want that one moment. They wanted each other.

"Can you only kiss me and only me?" 🥹

That line perfectly captured what they were feeling.

Overall, The Summer You Kissed Me is extremely short, but sometimes a short and sweet story is exactly what you need. It is light, cute, romantic and thankfully non toxic, with two gorgeous leads who have great chemistry. I really hope these two actors get the opportunity to lead a full length BL drama together because I would 100% be watching.

If you like good looking boys, love at first sight, rivals to lovers, a one night stand turning into something more, cute romance and a very flirty male lead, definitely put this on your watch list.

Another short but sweet Chinese BL that proves China can still surprise us with something this cute.

3 Epic Stories in 1!

Review Part 1 out of 3 = Beside the Sky
Finally, after waiting 16 long months for Season 2, Fourever You Part 1/3 shattered me in the best way possible. This first story didn’t just meet expectations, it blew straight past them.
I already loved Bever as Tonfah and Tonliew as Typhoon from Season 1, even with their limited screen time. Season 2 finally gives them the space they deserve, and the emotional payoff is devastating. Every scene hits harder because we can now fully feel the depth of their pain, history, and connection.
What I thought would be a soft, cute story quickly turns into something deeply heartbreaking. Typhoon’s trauma is painful to watch. His fear of the dark, the loss of his sister when he was already an adult, and the cruelty of a family that blames him instead of comforting him is hard to witness. Being forced to grieve alone leaves scars that never fade, and the series does not sugarcoat that. Typhoon’s loneliness feels absolutely suffocating.
Years later, his reunion with Tonfah, the neighbor who once protected him, feels like a fragile lifeline. Tonfah is clearly the light Typhoon desperately needs. Someone who can sit with his pain, understand it, and slowly help him breathe again. Their bond feels raw, tender, and earned, never rushed or forced.
And can we talk about how they are one of the most green flag couples I’ve seen in BL? Their relationship is so cute, natural, and genuinely sweet. Every glance and every quiet moment between them carries warmth and meaning.
I also loved Typhoon’s group of friends. They are genuinely supportive, warm, and protective in a way that makes his world feel a little less lonely. I also really appreciate how seamlessly this season blends with Season 1. Seeing familiar faces like Johan and North and Hill and Earth again felt like a gift and honestly made me so happy. It reminded me why I fell in love with this universe in the first place.
The acting across the board is outstanding, filled with quiet anguish and unspoken emotion. The music amplifies every heartbreak, and the chemistry makes every touch and every look feel loaded with meaning. This series doesn’t just tell a story, it makes you feel it.
Emotionally devastating and beautifully told, Fourever You Season 2 Part 1/3 earns a powerful 10 out of 10 from me. 💔✨

Review Part 2 out of 3 = The Sun from Another Star
After watching Hill and Ter, Johan and North from season 1, and recently Tonfah and Phoon from season 2, the second couple of season 2, Arthit and Dao, already feel very different from the others.
Arthit is hot, chaotic, and has such a funny personality. He always feels like the highlight of the group and brings a lot of energy to every scene. On the other hand, Dao is quiet and gentle, but he has the unusual ability to see and speak with spirits. This immediately makes their story stand out because after more than 24 episodes in this universe, this is the first time we get a supernatural element with ghosts and spirits.
Their dynamic already feels interesting because they are such opposites. Arthit is loud, bold, and playful, while Dao is calm and mysterious. Opposites really do attract here, and I am very curious to see how Dao slowly starts to fall for Arthit.
The story still keeps the familiar university setting that fans love, but the supernatural twist makes it feel fresh and different. After just two episodes, this couple already feels fun and unique.
For me it is easily a 9.5 out of 10 so far and I am excited to see where their story goes next.

Review Part 3 out of 3 = Lately, Its Winter Season
The final part of Fourever did not disappoint. Across almost 40 episodes over both seasons, the story wrapped up in such a cute and satisfying way. Set in a high school setting with a friends to lovers storyline, the series balances light romance, family drama, and emotional moments really well. Pie as Tiger and Golf as Nao are adorable together, and their chemistry had me hooked from the very beginning.
Tiger, the lonely youngest son of a powerful and wealthy family, first meets Nao during football tryouts. While Tiger grows up surrounded by arguments and pressure, Nao comes from a poor but loving family that always feels warm and welcoming. I really liked how the drama showed that money cannot buy happiness. Tiger would rather spend his time relaxing with Nao on a small couch than stay alone in his giant mansion, and those moments made their relationship feel genuine and comforting.
How ironic that in one family, the older brother is completely oblivious, while in the other, the younger brother is the one who cannot see what is right in front of him.
Singha has had Ben by his side for years. A loyal bodyguard, a constant shadow, a man who has quietly loved him for more than a decade. Yet Singha remains utterly clueless, never realizing that Ben's devotion runs far deeper than duty.
Then there is Tiger, who has spent more than six years loving Nao. And somehow, Nao is just as hopelessly unaware. The funny part is that everyone else can see it. North, clumsy as he is, took one look across a soccer field and immediately understood Tiger's feelings. Nao's own twin brother knows. Practically the entire world seems to know except Nao himself.
So we end up with this amusing parallel: in the mafia family, the older brother is the oblivious one, while in the other family, the younger brother is equally blind to the truth. Two different stories reflecting each other in the most chaotic way.
The only part that feels a little hard to believe is how quickly someone who has always considered himself straight suddenly starts trying to navigate feelings for his best friend after a confession. For years, girls were the ones he noticed, the ones he thought were cute. Then his best friend confesses, and now he is genuinely considering dating him. It is a dramatic shift, though feelings and self-discovery can sometimes be far more complicated than people expect.
Still, that is part of what makes the story entertaining. Between Singha being oblivious to Ben's decade-long love and Nao somehow missing six years of Tiger's devotion, this felt like a double episode built entirely on beautiful, ridiculous cluelessness.
The slow burn romance was done so well, making every small interaction between them feel meaningful. Along with the school setting, athlete male lead storyline, flashbacks to the past, and touches of mafia family drama, the series still keeps a fun and soft atmosphere without becoming too heavy.
Overall, this is a cute and entertaining BL that is easy to watch and enjoy. The romance feels natural, the emotional moments hit well, and Tiger and Nao completely carried the series for me. Definitely one of the more enjoyable light BLs

Rivals, Workplace Romance and Unrequited Love That Lasted Years, Best 2026 Japanese BL

This is officially my favorite Japanese BL of 2026. I discovered it two months late, but bingeing all nine episodes and the special in one go was absolutely worth it. ❤️ I honestly could not stop watching. Every episode left me wanting more, and I was completely hooked from start to finish without a single boring moment.

The story follows Ryo and Zen, two men who have been competing with each other since their high school days. Whether it was academics, sports, or even something as ridiculous as who received more Valentine's chocolates, they turned everything into a competition. Years later, they reunite as coworkers in the same sales department, and their old rivalry immediately starts up again. Their constant bickering, challenges, and competitive personalities make every interaction entertaining. After one drunken night, their latest competition takes an unexpected turn when they make a ridiculous bet to see who can make the other fall in love first.

One of my favourite parts of the series was the high school flashbacks. They were perfectly placed throughout each episode and slowly revealed how Ryo and Zen first met and why their rivalry became such a huge part of their lives. I also appreciated that younger versions of Ryo and Zen were played by different actors instead of relying on the main cast with school uniforms. It made the flashbacks feel much more believable and immersive. Let's not forget the young actors who played Ryo and Zen. Even though they only appeared for a few minutes in each episode, they did a wonderful job and deserve recognition for their performances too.

Watching them reunite as coworkers while continuing their endless competition was hilarious. Their chemistry was fantastic from the very beginning. This is definitely not one of those stereotypical "dead fish" Japanese BLs. The intimacy felt natural, passionate, and surprisingly bold. The kissing scenes had incredible chemistry, and the famous riding scene was incredibly hot while still fitting the story.

What I loved most was the twist. At first it seems like two rivals trying to outdo each other, but the truth is far sweeter. Ryo has actually been in love with Zen ever since high school. The rivalry and endless competitions were simply his awkward way of staying close to the person he loved. I thought that was such a clever and uniquely Japanese way to tell a romance, and it completely won me over.

This drama perfectly balances romance, comedy, heartfelt moments, hot NC scenes (first time I seen a peach 🍑 in a Japanese BL), and an unrequited love that has lasted for years. It is a fantastic Rivals to Lovers story with coworkers, high school rivals, plenty of bickering, and a love hate relationship that gradually turns into something genuine and heartfelt.

They fight at work in front of everyone, but behind the office, they end up kissing and making out. The title Fake Fact Lips definitely lives up to the series.

It is such a beautiful series with an amazing background score and soundtrack, and I am so in love with this BL. I really appreciate how mature it feels, with adult characters navigating relationships while working in an office. The misunderstandings are resolved quickly instead of being dragged out, which makes the story feel refreshing and realistic. Their confession, when they finally said "I love you" to each other, was absolutely beautiful. The heartfelt embrace, paired with the romantic background music, made the moment even more emotional and unforgettable. I love this mature take on a workplace BL.

Japanese BLs always surprise me with their creative storytelling, and Fake Fact Lips is another reminder of why I keep coming back to them. I rarely give Japanese BLs a perfect 10/10, but this one absolutely deserves it.

A Beautiful Mess with No Logic Yet Addictively Fun

This series is honestly one of the most plotless, dumb, weird, and cringe BLs I’ve ever seen, yet somehow, I can’t stop watching it. The irony of the main lead being named Logic when the show itself has absolutely no logic is hilarious. Logic is the son of the Prime Minister, and together with Leo, they fight the Prince for the dumbest reasons imaginable.

The action scenes are terrible, and the plot makes zero sense. For example, right after a fight, Logic and Leo meet a random girl and ask to borrow her motorbike. Her response? “Sure, because you’re handsome.” She just gave two random strangers her keys , they didn’t even exchange contact details, so how is she going to get her bike back? This is just one example of how stupid the plot is, lol.

Still, despite all the nonsense, I can’t look away. Winner and Chris have amazing chemistry, and that’s honestly the only reason I’m still watching. This show is a complete mess, but a strangely entertaining one.

First Love, Six Years of Pain, Intense Kisses and a Reunion I Could Not Stop Watching!

I am usually not a fan of vertical dramas because I have to constantly hold my phone. Unfortunately, Eyes on You is not available on the iQIYI TV app and can only be watched through the mobile app. However, once I started watching, I completely forgot about that minor inconvenience. I was addicted from beginning to end and watched all 51 short episodes in one sitting. Yes, all 51 episodes in one go. I was completely hooked because it was just that good.

The story follows Junheng and Shiyu, who were each other's first love during high school and shared a passion for archery. Their relationship was torn apart six years earlier when Shiyu suddenly left Junheng. At the time, Junheng believed that Shiyu had chosen money over their relationship after his father offered Shiyu financial help while Shiyu's own father was seriously ill in hospital.

However, the truth was much more complicated. Shiyu made the painful decision to walk away because he wanted Junheng to focus on his future and pursue his archery career without the pressure and potential consequences surrounding their same sex relationship. Unfortunately, years of misunderstandings and unresolved pain left both of them deeply hurt.

When they reunite six years later, Junheng is now a successful archery champion and asks Shiyu to become his manager and work with him. Their relationship goes through a emotional journey from former lovers to enemies and eventually back to lovers again. Junheng initially wants to make Shiyu feel the pain he carried for years, but as they spend more time together, his anger slowly begins to turn into concern. The torment gradually becomes caring, protecting and rescuing Shiyu, as his heart slowly opens up again.

The basic premise is not particularly new. We have seen similar storylines countless times in K-dramas, especially the rich parent offering money to the poorer main lead and telling them to leave their child. But honestly, a familiar plot can still be incredibly enjoyable when it is executed well, and Eyes on You absolutely kept me entertained.

What really made this series work for me was the chemistry between the two leads. The acting was engaging, the tension between them was addictive, and their relationship kept me wanting to immediately watch the next episode. The kissing scenes were especially intense. Their early kisses were filled with anger, resentment and years of unresolved emotions, but once the misunderstandings began to clear, their relationship became incredibly cute and adorable.

The story itself is simple, but sometimes simple stories are exactly what you need when the acting and chemistry are strong enough to keep you invested. Despite being a short vertical series, I found myself completely absorbed in their journey from first love, to enemies, and finally finding their way back to each other.

If you enjoy first love reunions, lovers becoming enemies before falling in love again, athlete male leads, emotional misunderstandings, flashbacks, archery, intense kissing scenes and a story that hooks you from start to finish, this short series should definitely not be missed.

I honestly hope both actors get the opportunity to star together in a full length series in the future because I would absolutely support and watch them again.

Dare You To Death Delivers a Dark and Addictive Crime BL Experience

Crime, forensics, murder cases, and police dramas have always been my obsession, so the moment this genre was combined with BL, I was already sold. Adding JoongDunk into the mix made it even better. Seeing them return on screen as police officers feels absolutely right. From villains in The Heart Killers to police heroes, the transformation is satisfying to watch. Joong and Dunk look incredibly good in their dark, understated police looks, proving that police without uniforms can be just as commanding and stylish on screen.

Their initial meeting was such a fun and ironic moment, with one police officer issuing a fine to another officer. You could immediately tell that Jade, played by Joong, was experiencing love at first sight with Kamin, played by Dunk, even while handing out the fine. Honestly, it felt like he did it on purpose just to get Kamin’s licence and have an excuse to know his name and address.

We have seen JoongDunk in different genres before, and while The Heart Killers leaned into darker themes, placing them fully in a serious, crime driven story still feels like a refreshing step forward. From the very first episode, the tension pulls you in and never lets go.

The storytelling so far feels confident and well paced, with a moody atmosphere that perfectly suits the forensic and police theme. The acting is consistently strong, and the emotional weight behind each scene makes the story even more gripping.

By the final episode, Dare You To Death proves itself as a polished, intense, and thoughtfully crafted series. It delivers exactly what a crime focused BL should be, suspenseful, emotionally charged, and completely addictive.

Sweet, Addictive and Surprisingly Romantic

Please, Yes is an incredibly charming and loveable short BL that delivers sweetness from start to finish. With eight episodes at only ten minutes each, it is easy to binge and even easier to enjoy. The story is simple but never dull. Every episode moves quickly and I found myself completely hooked.

Su Hyeon is tall and handsome which pairs perfectly with the cute and adorable Eun Ho. Their chemistry feels natural and effortless. They are playful, sweet and genuinely convincing as a couple. The kissing scenes are surprisingly great for such a short series which makes their relationship feel even more satisfying.

What makes Please, Yes stand out is how refreshing it is. Sometimes a light ten minute BL can offer more charm and enjoyment than a full fifty minute drama. This one definitely proves that. Sweet, quick and addictive. A delightful watch and well worth the 8.5 out of 10.

When Love Outlasts Time: Un-In Heart

For me, out of the four Destiny Anthology stories, this is the best one yet. It’s simple yet deeply emotional.

P and Plai return, this time portraying lovers in a long-term relationship. Heart is a workaholic investor, while Un is a singer whose growing distance from his partner quietly sets the tone for their heartbreak. What makes Un-In Heart stand out is its focus on a couple who have already been together for many years. Rather than romanticizing the thrill of new love, it explores what happens after the honeymoon phase, the slow erosion caused by silence, fatigue, and unspoken expectations. It captures that aching truth that sometimes you only realize what you had when it’s already slipping away.

P and Plai’s chemistry is undeniable. Their emotional tension, their eye contact, even their intimate scenes all feel natural and mature. The acting is heartfelt, the direction subtle, and the pacing beautifully restrained. It reminded me of the Korean BL Love Reset, but this version carries a softer sadness, a love that never stopped but simply lost its way.

You can watch Un-In Heart for free on the 9NAA Channel on YouTube, and it’s absolutely worth it if you enjoy stories about love, loss, and the quiet hope of finding your way back.

A Sweet and Gentle Japanese BL That Stole Our Sundays, Season 2 Please

I honestly did not expect this Japanese BL to completely steal my heart, but after finishing the series, I can confidently say it is one of those quiet gems that stays with you long after the final episode ends. What started as a pleasant Sunday surprise on GagaOOLala turned into a warm, comforting journey that I never wanted to rush through.

Hioki and Tokai are the definition of opposites attracting done right. Hioki is soft spoken, awkward, and emotionally guarded, while Tokai is tall, popular, confident, and surprisingly gentle. Watching their relationship grow felt natural and sincere, not forced or dramatic. That accidental promise Hioki makes early on becomes such a meaningful emotional thread, leading to something far deeper than expected. The payoff is subtle, tender, and incredibly satisfying.

One of the most refreshing things about this series is how kindness takes center stage. The popular boys are not arrogant, cold, or cruel. Instead, they are genuinely warm, welcoming, and supportive. Every single one of them is a walking green flag. There is no unnecessary bullying, no toxic masculinity, just boys being kind to each other and enjoying their youth. It feels healing to watch. This is the kind of storytelling Japanese BL does so well, gentle, respectful, and deeply human.

The friendship group feels real and lived in. Their laughter, teasing, and quiet moments together make the world feel warm and safe. It reminded me so much of the atmosphere I felt when I visited Japan last year, that sense of politeness, thoughtfulness, and understated care for others.

The casting is perfect, the acting is soft yet expressive, and the chemistry never needs grand gestures to be believable. The music adds a layer of nostalgia that makes every scene feel even more intimate. The overall mood is calm, cozy, and comforting, like wrapping yourself in a blanket on a quiet afternoon.

By the end, this series left me smiling, emotional, and strangely peaceful. It proves that you do not need heavy drama to create something memorable. Sometimes, sincerity is more than enough. If you love slow burn romance, gentle storytelling, and pure green flag energy, this one deserves a spot on your favourites list.

We definitely need a season 2!

A Gritty BL Masterpiece That Deserves a Season 2 - Best BL in 2026

Wow, what a BL. This feels like the first proper China/Hong Kong BL that fully embraces a gangster and crime theme, and it is such a refreshing change from the usual school or office settings.

From the moment it began, I was completely hooked. I was genuinely excited for every episode. Set in the 1980s in Kowloon Walled City, the atmosphere is incredible. The show captures how dangerous and chaotic the city feels, with crime everywhere and corruption lurking in the background. The attention to detail is impressive, and even the knife fighting scenes feel raw and realistic.

What truly carries the series are the two male leads. ChuSan is a quiet, nerdy student who dreams of escaping the chaos, while LiuYi is a powerful triad deputy leader. They are complete opposites, but their dynamic works so well. Their chemistry feels unique, with some surprisingly funny moments. Their eye contact and overall connection make their relationship very compelling.

The cinematography is beautiful, the acting is strong, and the darker tone helps it stand out from many other BL dramas.

Everything feels more cinematic and mature.

This Hong Kong/China BL is easily one of my favorites of 2026 so far.

It is very underrated and absolutely deserves more attention.

A masterpiece, and we definitely need a season 2.

Finally, a Japanese BL That Gets Intimacy Right

I have watched every Japanese BL released this year and honestly the kissing and NC scenes have been disappointing across the board. But this one is easily the best I have seen. The NC scenes in episodes 2 and 3 were hot, steamy and beautifully done. Japanese BL is finally stepping up and shining in this area.

Since I only watched the Thai version a couple of months ago, it is still fresh in my mind. This remake is almost identical, about 90 percent the same, right down to the lines and even the NC positions. That said, I did not mind because the chemistry here really works. The male leads are handsome, comfortable with each other and their intimacy feels genuine instead of forced.

Overall, it is a solid and enjoyable watch. If you loved the Thai version, you will enjoy seeing this story retold through a Japanese lens. For me, it is a well deserved 8.5 out of 10.

A Beautiful Step Back in Time

From episode one, watching Memoir of Rati felt like stepping into a beautiful old dream. 🌙 I love period dramas, no phones, no rush, just peaceful, quiet moments. The early 1900s setting is absolutely stunning, every outfit, every little detail feels authentic. 🕰️🧵 It’s clear so much care went into bringing this world to life.

My two handsome princes, GreatInn are back, and AouBoom are just as charming as ever. 👑💫 Twelve weeks of this story ahead, I’m ready for every second. 💖📺

I was honestly shocked by Thee and Rati’s relationship. I expected rejection from the mother, especially given that same-sex relationships were illegal in 1915 CE. Instead, she embraced them with warmth and understanding. That scene genuinely moved me. What an incredible mother, so open-hearted and ahead of her time.

The cast is stunning, the scenery gorgeous. It’s not a perfect series, some episodes are a bit slow, the plot simple, and nothing extraordinary happens at times. But overall, it’s a beautifully crafted BL that’s well worth watching.

Here is a poem I wrote about the second couple

What is wrong with Dech’s father?
Each time he appears, my heart sinks.
He belittles Rati in the classroom,
humiliating him with every word.
He scorns Rati’s mother for being a kitchen maid,
as if honest work were a sin.
And now, he goes further still,
ordering men to strike Mek,
stripping him of his dignity,
leaving him jobless and broken,
all because he is poor,
all because he dared to stand beside his son.

Yet even through this cruelty, love flickers.
Mek loves Dech. Dech loves Mek.
Two hearts that beat in silence,
but cannot meet in the open.
Mek cannot accept Dech’s open heart,
for the world has made him believe
that he is worthless,
that his love is forbidden,
that a father’s pride is stronger than their bond.
What could be more tragic?

And then the bridge…
that bridge destroyed me.
It was no longer just wood and rope.
It was the space between them,
a fragile line stretched across despair.
Dech reached forward with trembling hope,
Mek stepped back with silent pain.
He pushed away the only light he had,
not because he did not love,
but because he was taught he did not deserve love.
In that moment,
the river carried away more than reflections.
It carried away their hope,
their chance,
their tomorrow.

Dech’s father is the cruelest villain of all.
His arrogance poisons everything it touches.
And I pray, I beg, that karma finds him,
because people like him
turn love into tragedy,
and watching it unfold
brings tears I cannot hold back.

Unrequited Love, Fast Feelings That Slowly Lost Its Spark

The first few episodes were surprisingly fast paced. I have a soft spot for high school crushes slowly turning into romance, especially when there are unrequited feelings involved, so I was immediately interested. I was actually surprised that Saeki confessed in the very first episode instead of dragging the confession out for half the series.

The story itself is simple, light and refreshing, focusing more on the awkward emotions of being young rather than filling the story with unnecessary drama. The chemistry between the leads feels natural, the acting is convincing, and the soundtrack fits the youthful summer atmosphere really well. I am always happy to watch another high school BL, so I was definitely enjoying it at first.

Episode 4 hit me particularly hard because the situation reminded me of something that happened to me in real life. My best friend and I had been inseparable since primary school, but one day my parents suddenly told me we were moving more than 2,000 km away to another state. This was before I started using social media, so keeping in touch was not easy and we eventually lost contact for more than 10 years before finally reconnecting. It was heartbreaking because, as children, we had no control over decisions like that. Our parents made them for us.

That is why Toda leaving without properly saying goodbye to Saeki really got to me. Knowing you are leaving is one thing, but disappearing without giving the other person a chance to say goodbye can hurt even more. Sometimes a goodbye cannot change what is going to happen, but it can give someone closure. Being left behind without an explanation is something that can stay with you for a very long time.

Episode 5 was another one I enjoyed. I loved the flashback showing how they first met when they were younger, and I especially liked the handwritten note. In a world where everyone sends texts, there is something much more meaningful about someone taking the time to actually write something down for you.

Episode 6 was probably my favourite. The beach scene was genuinely beautiful. They finally opened up about their feelings, cried together, confessed what they had been holding inside and ended the moment with a hug. It felt very honest and emotional without needing to be overly dramatic. That scene really worked for me.

My main criticism is that these actors just cannot kiss.
Their first kiss was unexpected because it was basically a kiss through a mask 😷 I honestly never seeing that before. I did not hate it, but I definitely did not like it either. It was just... unexpected.

Then every other kisses feels like a dead fish kiss with no passion or movement at all. I’m currently watching over 20 airing BLs, so maybe my expectations are just too high, but if you take on a BL role, then you need to fully commit to it.

I would honestly rather they not kiss at all than give us an awkward kiss where they just press their lips together and freeze. If you’re going to include kissing scenes, then commit to them and make them believable.

Overall, I think this BL started much stronger than it finished. The beginning moved at such a fast pace that I was really invested, but somewhere along the way the story started to drag and I felt like not much was happening.

In the end, this is a light and wholesome BL with some genuinely emotional moments, but for me, it is not one of the best Japanese BLs out there. I enjoyed watching it, especially the earlier episodes and the emotional scenes, but I was hoping for a little more by the end.

A Heartfelt and Captivating BL – A Perfect 10/10!

I tried watching the first two episodes, but for some reason, it didn’t fully capture my interest. The plot didn’t feel particularly strong to me at first. However, after receiving recommendations from others, I decided to continue, and I ended up binge-watching the remaining 11 episodes in one sitting. It did not disappoint—this was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made!

This series is nothing short of perfection. From the storyline to the acting, everything about ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat is beautifully crafted. It’s one of those rare BL dramas that manages to stand out for all the right reasons.

The Storyline & Romance:
The romance between Thame and Po is incredibly refreshing and realistic. It’s all about the little moments that truly build a connection—whether it's walking together, holding hands, or just spending time in each other’s company. There's no unnecessary drama, no irritating third wheels, and no toxic characters. The love between the leads feels so genuine and pure, and the series doesn’t rely on over-the-top melodrama to push the plot forward. Instead, it’s a beautifully understated and healthy romance that develops at its own pace, making it all the more touching.

The way the entire group of friends supports each other throughout the series adds another layer of warmth to the story. Their friendship dynamics are heartwarming and make the experience feel even more authentic.

Acting & Chemistry:
The chemistry between the leads, William (Thame) and Est (Po), is undeniable. Despite William being relatively new to acting, his performance is incredibly impressive, especially considering he’s also the lead singer of the T-pop group LYKN. Est, with his experience, plays Po with such depth and nuance. Together, they have an undeniable connection that brings their characters to life in such a natural, compelling way. Their performances truly elevate the show, and you can feel the genuine emotions they portray. GMM truly struck gold with this pairing.

Production Quality:
The production team and film editors deserve major praise for the smooth, high-quality execution of this series. The cinematography is on point, and every detail—whether it’s the pacing or the transitions—feels well thought out. The editing helps maintain the emotional impact of the scenes without being overly dramatic or forced. It all comes together so perfectly, making it a visually pleasing experience.

Soundtrack:
The OSTs in ThamePo are also a major highlight. Every song is full of emotion, complementing the storyline perfectly. The music adds another layer of depth, enhancing the feelings of each scene and making the experience even more immersive.

Overall Impact:
This series touches on themes of love, friendship, and the complexities of being an idol in the public eye, giving viewers a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes struggles. The portrayal of the music industry and the pressures idols face—particularly in balancing love and their career—adds a lot of depth to the narrative, making it not only an entertaining watch but also a thought-provoking one.

All in all, ThamePo Heart That Skips a Beat is a must-watch for anyone who appreciates a mature, well-acted, and beautifully told BL story. It’s full of heart, emotion, and beautiful moments that stay with you long after the series ends. I’m so glad I gave this series a chance, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a BL with a healthy romance, amazing chemistry, and a meaningful storyline. Truly a 10/10!

Knock Out Special Episode – Sweet, Sexy, and So Much Fun!

After all the intense fighting and emotional chaos of the main season, this special episode was exactly what I needed. It was light, adorable, and full of heart. I couldn’t stop smiling the entire 67 minutes — it flew by so fast! 😊

The little side story with Kaew trying to win over Jay was absolutely precious. Her sass, confidence, and determination were so fun to watch. She truly stole the show every time she appeared!

Keen trying to flirt with Thun again had me laughing non-stop — especially the foot massage scene! 😂 And don’t even get me started on the ghost prank. That was comedy gold.

Gunner (who plays Thun) is such a standout — handsome, charming, and effortlessly cute on screen. I really hope to see him in more BLs soon. He has star quality written all over him. ✨

And of course… the NC scene at the end? Whew. Thun with his hands tied to the bed — yes please. 🔥 That scene was so erotic and beautifully shot without being over the top. Keen and Thun’s chemistry continues to be unmatched. And the cuddle at the end? Absolutely melted my heart. 🥺🛏️

This special episode was the perfect cherry on top of an already amazing series. It gave us laughs, sweetness, a little spice, and a satisfying, affectionate close to Keen and Thun’s story. Loved every second of it.
