Charming and Addictive: The Nameless Delivers a Fun, Predictable BL with Heart

It’s wild how a show with such short 10 minute episodes can be more entertaining than some full 50 minute ones, but The Nameless really pulls it off! From the very first episode, I was hooked. The two male leads are gorgeous, honestly, they’re both cute and handsome in the best way possible, and their chemistry is undeniable. The acting is solid, and it’s hard to get bored when everything feels so natural and engaging.

One of my favorite moments has to be Episode 5, where they all hang out by the pool, casually eating watermelon together. It’s such a warm, feel-good scene and really captured the essence of their bond. It’s these simple moments that make the show shine.

However, I’m giving it an 8/10 instead of a higher score. The plot itself is pretty predictable, and while there’s nothing wrong with that, it didn’t offer anything particularly extraordinary. It’s a cute, light BL series, but there’s no major plot twist or deep drama to push it beyond the "just good" category. That said, I found myself craving new episodes each Saturday, which says a lot about how enjoyable it is!

If you’re looking for a fun, easy-watch BL with adorable characters and no heavy emotional rollercoasters, this is the one. It's perfect for a light binge!

The Ultimate High School Drama

This is hands down the best high school drama I have ever seen. The fighting scenes are some of the most intense and well-choreographed I have ever watched in a school setting. The acting is strong across the board, the plot is engaging, and the cast is absolutely stunning. There is not a single boring episode from start to finish.

Hwang Min Hyun completely stole the show with his talent and charisma. I am already counting down the days for Season 2 because this feels like the beginning of something truly special.

This drama is a masterpiece and an absolute must-watch.

I Became the Main Role of a BL Drama Season 2 – Cute but Still Lacking Depth

After the dead fish kiss in Season 1, I was really hoping for some growth in Season 2… but sadly, not much changed. Even one of the leads says, "We've been together for so long but our relationship hasn't changed at all." That line sums it up perfectly—and the irony stings. After two seasons, the main couple still feels awkward and emotionally distant. The final kiss was brief and lacked impact—I expected a more intimate and evolved relationship, but it never quite got there. 😕

That said, Aoyanagi Hajime was the highlight for me—he’s so cute, charming, and genuinely loveable. His energy brought some life into an otherwise light, easygoing series that didn’t offer much in terms of plot or emotional payoff.

Overall, Season 2 is a soft, cute watch if you’re just looking for something chill—but don’t expect major developments or satisfying romance. Weak plot, awkward leads, but still sweet enough to pass the time.

PitBabe S2 – Passion, Speed & Heat On and Off the Track!

Just finished PitBabe Season 2 and I’m OBSESSED. This season fires on all cylinders—literally.

From the very first scene, Babe and Charlie’s chemistry is absolutely electric. The way they touch, tease, and lock eyes had me blushing, smiling, and fully invested . Season 2 dives deeper into their connection—not just the heat, but the vulnerability and emotional tension beneath it.

🏎️ That first race? Adrenaline-pumping perfection. Zooming through shipping containers at full throttle, it reminded me that PitBabe is more than just BL—it's high-octane action done right. The visuals, the sound design, the intensity? Chef’s kiss.

👥 So happy to see the whole crew return, and new character Willy (played by Milk ) brought a cool, confident edge that’s already spicing things up. I can’t wait to see where his arc goes.

The plot this time? Wild. Powers. Resurrections. Conspiracies. Weddings. It’s chaotic in the best way, with just enough heart to keep you emotionally grounded. Tony being alive?!? I gasped.

Season 2 is everything:
Car races ✅
Superpowers ✅
Hot BL chemistry ✅
Plot twists ✅
And yes… a wedding 💍

This show keeps levelling up and I’m loving every minute of it. If you haven’t started Season 2 yet… buckle up. It’s one hell of a ride.

Eye Contact... But No Plot Clarity

I came for Jame (who I loved in Bound to My Brother’s Fiancé) and yes, he looked amazing as Chain — young, handsome, and full of screen presence 😍✨. But sadly, the writing and direction completely wasted the cast's potential.

Way too many characters for just 6 episodes — this desperately needed at least 12 to even attempt proper development 🧍🧍🧍‍♀️. The tone felt super old-school, like something from 2015, not 2025 📺⏳.

Some scenes were downright inappropriate (the kid kissing scenes were a hard no 🚫), and the plot? All over the place. Nu gets bullied → suddenly bodyguards everywhere? No consequences for the bullies? 🤯 And don’t even get me started on Episode 5 — Chain gets kidnapped and SA by Jorn... then in Ep 6 they kiss and have sex like nothing happened? What?? 😵‍💫

The Sun/Nu storyline was just as messy. Cheating brushed off with a weak excuse? No thanks 🙅‍♂️.

Only saving grace: the tension and chemistry between Chain and Jorn. I do love an enemies-to-lovers dynamic 🔥, but it's not enough to save this trainwreck of a script. I’ve watched over 250+ BLs and always try to stay positive, but this is one of my lowest-rated at 5/10. The actors deserved way better.

📉 5/10
💔 Great cast, terrible writing — I watched it so you don’t have to.

What Real BL Actors Go Through in Real Life: Lovely Writer Shows the Struggles Behind the Ships

Just finished Lovely Writer (2021) and wow, what a beautiful journey! 😍📚

The story follows Gene, a professional writer who unexpectedly hits big with a new genre—Y (Boys' Love). His novel becomes a massive hit 📖💥, so much so that it gets adapted into a TV series. When the casting begins, Gene’s not too bothered about it... until he meets Nubsib, an actor who quickly becomes captivated by him. 🥰🎬

I came here after watching Up from My Stand In, and let me tell you, his acting range is insane! In My Stand In, he's cold, aggressive, and a total red flag 😳. But in Lovely Writer, he’s such a sweetheart with those cute glasses, and his grumpy demeanor is so endearing. It's crazy how he can switch between such contrasting characters! Honestly, he's such a great actor. 🎭✨

I also came here after watching Kao from Until We Meet Again—he is SO handsome 😍 and an amazing actor as well. Together, they make such a green flag couple—like, relationship goals for sure! 💚

What really sets this show apart is that it doesn’t just focus on the fluffy romance, but also the real challenges that BL couples face in the public eye. It highlights the toxic fanbases that sometimes cause problems for the actors, with fans shipping them together even though they might have real-life partners. The impact on their relationships is heartbreaking and so relatable. 😔 It really makes you think about the pressures that actors face in the industry. 🌟

I honestly can’t believe I missed this gem from over 4 years ago! 😱 So glad I finally watched it. I’ll definitely be rewatching soon! Highly recommend this series if you want a deep, heartfelt BL drama with a mix of sweetness and reality. 💖

Rating: 9.5/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Most Intense Enemies-to-Lovers Ever — Completely Obsessed!

I just finished all 12 episodes of Love Syndrome III in just a couple of days — and let me tell you, I was hooked. I watched the uncut version (1 hour per episode) and I highly recommend everyone do the same. Do not watch the cut version on Viki — it loses so much depth and emotion. The uncut version is raw, powerful, and totally worth every minute.

Honestly, this is the perfect example of why you shouldn’t trust MDL ratings blindly. Despite its low 6.5 rating here, I’m giving this drama a solid 10/10. I wasn’t bored for even a second. Each 1-hour episode flew by. If you love chaos, pain, deep emotional bonds, and intensity — this is it. One of the best, most brutal and emotionally exhausting enemies-to-lovers I’ve seen. And I’ve watched a lot of BLs. Nothing comes close to the level of obsession and emotional whiplash this series delivers.

I watched Love Syndrome III after finishing Unforgotten Night and Love Syndrome: The Beginning — and to be honest, the order doesn’t really matter. But if I could rewatch them, I’d do it in reverse release order:

1. Love Syndrome: The Beginning (2024)
2. Love Syndrome III (2023)
3. Unforgotten Night (2022)

The characters Day and Itt appear in all three, but each version features different actors. My favorite by far is Long (Day) and Frank (Itt) in Love Syndrome III. The chemistry between them is insane — intense eye contact, explosive fights, and passionate moments. Both are tall, gorgeous, and incredibly talented. Their portrayal of Day and Itt is unforgettable.

What I Loved:
The Plot: People say it’s toxic — and yes, it is. But that’s exactly what makes it so addicting. If it wasn’t “toxic,” it would be just another forgettable BL. You have to watch the entire series to fully understand the emotional layers and the reasons behind their actions.

Emotional Shift: At first, Day is endlessly patient with Itt’s childish behavior. But after the accident, the roles reverse. Itt sacrifices everything for Day. The love, pain, and loyalty he shows is heart-wrenching.

Itt’s Devotion: He’s so tired, emotionally wrecked, and all he wants is to be loved back. And still, he never gives up. Even when he’s hurt, even when it’s unfair, he takes care of Day. That is real love.

The Title: It lives up to the name — Love Syndrome. It's not a light romance. It's about obsession, sacrifice, heartbreak, and healing. It’s a full-blown emotional syndrome.

They’ve been through so much together. This was not just a love story — it was a war, a survival, a test of what love can endure. One of the most unforgettable and chaotic BLs I’ve ever watched.

If you're into dark romance, high-stakes emotions, and rollercoaster dynamics, do yourself a favor and dive into Love Syndrome III. You won't regret it.

Chapter 2 – A Hidden Gem! ??

I went into Kiseki: Chapter 2 with low expectations because of all the negative comments and that low score—I really don’t know why it’s getting hate! 🤷‍♀️ But honestly, I was pleasantly surprised and totally hooked. 💖

Why I Give It 8/10✅
• Chemistry & Authenticity: P and Beboy (and the adorable twins Pan & Plai) feel like real friends hanging out—no toxic drama or third wheels here! 👫👬
• Story & Pacing: Gentle, introspective, and refreshingly real-life—just two best buds touring Japan, meeting their Thai pals, and convincing them to move in together. I can totally see myself doing that abroad! ✈️🏠
• Intimacy Level: Hands down the best intimacy in a BL series—episode 3 and 5 are so steamy and realistic, even more than KinnPorsche, Love in the Air, Bed Friend, or Venus: The Sky! 🔥💋

Let’s Support the 4 Main Actors! 🎉
P, Beboy, and twin brothers Pan & Plai absolutely deserve our love. 💕 Sadly, all the hate led to Kiseki: Chapter 1 (the prequel) and Lovely Addict being cancelled—but thankfully, their sequel Season of Love in Shimane survived! It drops on my birthday—Sunday, May 18, 2025 🎂🎁 (best birthday gift ever!).

Tokyo Tour Vibes 🗼🍜
We get to explore Japan with them: bustling Tokyo streets, mouthwatering ramen, onsen baths, a hilarious Halloween party (P as ketchup, Pan as mustard—so funny! 🧛‍♂️🧟‍♂️), and tranquil temple visits. Some say it’s just tourism promo, but if you’ve been to Japan, you know it’s about the experience—so sit back and enjoy the ride! 🇯🇵

Final Thoughts 🤩
It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but for me, Kiseki: Chapter 2 felt authentic, fun, and heartwarming. All four actors are stunning—perfect bodies, perfect faces, perfect heights, and so cute and funny! I can’t wait to see where Pan & P’s love story goes next in Season of Love in Shimane. 🌸❤️

Rating: 8/10🌟✨
Don’t let the haters stop you—give this gem a chance! 🎬💖

? Steamy, Emotional, and Completely Addictive – A Must-Watch BL!


💯 10/10 – One of the Best Decisions I’ve Made!

I came to Love in The Air after watching The Boy Next World because I love BossNoeul 💙 — and even though I didn’t enjoy the first four episodes that much 😅, I’m SO glad I kept going. What started off a bit cheesy and over-the-top turned into one of the most addictive, emotional, and unforgettable BL series I’ve ever watched 🫶.

Rain (Noeul) is kind of dumb in the cutest way possible 🤭 — clumsy, stubborn, and totally endearing. He’s the perfect chaotic match for Payu (Boss), who’s confident, aggressive, and cool under pressure 🔥. Their chemistry grew stronger with each episode, and by Episode 6, I was fully invested. That NC riding scene? 🏍️🔥 Absolutely iconic. So hot, so intense — one of the best scenes in BL history.

Even though I came for PayuRain, I completely fell in love with PrapaiSky once their story began in Episode 8 💘. Their first NC scene was incredibly sexy and instantly pulled me in 😳. I binged the rest of the series — including the special episode — overnight because I simply couldn’t stop watching ⏰➡️📺. Sky’s trauma and healing journey hit hard 💔, and Prapai? He’s the definition of a green flag ✅🌱. Supportive, patient, and respectful — their relationship felt so real and earned, and I was rooting for them every step of the way 🙌.

Let’s be honest — the NC scenes in this series are next-level 💥. Not only are they hot and well-shot 🔥, but they feel emotionally grounded and meaningful. Easily some of the best in the genre. But beyond the steamy moments, the plot and character development were genuinely strong 📈. The show balances romance, trauma, healing, and humor so well — it kept me hooked the whole way through 🌀.

📣 Important Viewing Tip: Watch the Uncut Version!
Please don’t watch the cut version on YouTube 🚫. Watch the uncut version on Viki ✅. It’s only a few minutes longer per episode, but those minutes include key emotional and intimate scenes that truly elevate the experience 💔➡️❤️‍🩹.

For example, in Episode 13, after Prapai rescues Sky from his ex, the YouTube version leaves out a crucial moment where Sky explains everything — how he was tied up, gang SA'd, and tortured by his ex’s friends 😢. That scene is so important to understanding his pain and the trust he’s building with Prapai. Plus yes, the NC scenes are longer and hotter in the uncut version 🔥🔥🔥 — trust me, you don’t want to miss that.

In short: Love in The Air might take a few episodes to settle into, but once it does, it soars 🌈. If you're looking for passion, healing, strong character arcs, and unforgettable chemistry — this show delivers it all 💯.

? Johan and North Stole My Heart – Best BL Couple Ever!

Fourever You is a shining gem in the world of Thai BL, delivering a rare blend of emotional depth, strong character dynamics, and feel-good storytelling. After watching Perfect 10 Liners, I came into this series with high expectations—and it absolutely did not disappoint. Both shows are must-watches: cute, non-toxic, and filled with supportive friendships and an incredibly charming cast. I was so hooked that I binged all 17 episodes in just three sittings!

🌟 Story & Characters

The series follows four close friends—Easter, Hill, North, and Johan—as they navigate university life, personal growth, and romantic relationships. While it took me a bit to warm up to the first few episodes (especially with Ter/Easter, played by Earth), I gradually grew to appreciate his character more. I’ve loved Earth since My Only 12% and Until We Meet Again, but here his character felt a bit immature at first. That said, his friendship with North was a highlight—supportive, wholesome, and real. My only small critique is that Ter studies veterinary science, yet we never see him interact with animals or do anything related to his field—most of his screen time involves art classes, which feels like a missed opportunity.

Hill (Pond) is visually stunning and has undeniable screen presence. I really enjoyed his calm yet captivating portrayal and can’t wait to see him in his upcoming series Reset. As a couple, HillTer has great chemistry, and I would rate their pairing an 8/10.

💘 But the real stars for me are Johan and North. This couple completely stole the show. Johan (Maxky) is tall, handsome, smart (a med student!), and comes from wealth—he’s the full package. Paired with North (Bas), who is just adorable, genuine, and emotionally expressive, they became one of the best BL couples I’ve ever seen. I wholeheartedly agree with the many MDL and YouTube comments: JohanNorth is top-tier BL couple goals. Their dynamic felt mature, affectionate, and deeply romantic.
JohanNorth couple rating: 10/10 — perfect chemistry, perfect pacing, and emotionally fulfilling.

🚨 Important Viewing Tip: Watch the Uncut Version!

Please allow me to emphasize this: do not watch the cut version available on YouTube. I strongly recommend watching the uncut version. While it may only be a few minutes longer per episode, those minutes are crucial. They contain key emotional scenes that elevate the storytelling significantly.

Take Episode 15, for instance. After Johan returns from Boston, there's a heartfelt rooftop moment where he asks North to be his boyfriend. They hug and share two intense, passionate kisses—none of which are included in the YouTube cut. Having compared both versions myself, I can confidently say the uncut version offers a much richer and more emotionally complete experience. Don’t miss out on that depth—it’s well worth it.

🎬 Production & Final Thoughts

Studio Wabi Sabi continues to deliver. While Thai BL production budgets may not always match those of Korean dramas, the chemistry, storytelling, and emotional payoff are all there. The show is visually appealing, the pacing is smooth, and the soundtrack enhances the atmosphere beautifully.

Fourever You is the kind of series that sneaks up on you emotionally. It’s about friendship, love, and growing into the people you’re meant to be—with lots of heart along the way. I’m already counting down to Season 2, especially to see more of the other three couples.

Highly recommended for anyone who loves soft, romantic BLs with real emotional impact and a cast that feels like family. 10/10. 💫

10/10 – A Beautifully Heartfelt Journey Through Love, Fate, and Healing ?

Until We Meet Again is not just a Thai BL—it’s an emotional masterpiece that stays with you long after the final episode. The story seamlessly blends past and present, weaving a tale of tragic love, reincarnation, and second chances that hits all the right notes.

I’ve watched over 200+ BLs and I cannot believe I missed this one five years ago. I was so hooked that I binge-watched all 17 episodes in just 2 days. I also don’t think I’ve ever cried this much watching a series—ever. What a masterpiece.

What truly sets this series apart is the depth of emotion. Dean and Pharm’s connection feels destined and genuine, while the heartbreaking story of Korn and Intouch adds powerful layers of meaning and sorrow. The acting is phenomenal—especially from Fluke Natouch, whose portrayal of Pharm is so tender and raw that it's impossible not to feel every moment with him.

I also absolutely loved Ohm Thitiwat, who portrayed Dean so beautifully. He was stunning and so captivating to watch—his quiet strength and presence added so much depth to the role. I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing him in his upcoming series!

The cinematography is gorgeous, the soundtrack is hauntingly beautiful, and the pacing gives you time to fully invest in the characters and their journeys. It’s a show that explores grief, healing, family, and the unbreakable bond of love across lifetimes.

Whether you're a long-time BL fan or new to the genre, Until We Meet Again is a must-watch. It’s romantic, emotional, and deeply moving—a show that proves love truly can transcend time

One of the Best Police/Crime BL

I vividly remember when this series first aired in November 2013; it quickly became one of the shows I eagerly anticipated every Sunday. It was one of the few shows I looked forward to each week. The cast was not only talented but also incredibly attractive, and I particularly appreciated the mix of police work and crime scene investigations—this was the perfect drama for me.

The cinematography, graphics, color, and CGI were all flawless. I loved how the characters Tharn and Phaya’s relationship developed, particularly their childhood connection. The gradual buildup of their chemistry leading to their love was truly remarkable. The intimate scenes were realistic and impactful, among the best I’ve seen in such dramas.

Overall, everything about the show was flawless—from the compelling story and excellent acting to the well-executed intimate scenes, the touch of comedy, and the satisfying ending. I’ve grown tired of the typical high school or university-themed BLs, so I was thrilled to see a series focusing on police and crime. I sincerely hope that more BL dramas like this will be made in the future. I loved it so much, and I would rate it 10/10.

Out of 350+ BLs During the Past Decade, This is the Best BL I Have Ever Watched in My Life!!!

I have said this many times already but this is truly the best BL I have ever watched in my life. I have seen more than 350+ BLs across 7 countries in the past 10 years, and nothing even comes close.

The plot is gripping from start to finish, the acting is phenomenal, and the chemistry between the leads is unmatched. Every episode kept me hooked and every emotion hit deep. This is not just BL of the year, it is BL of the decade. Every 40-minute episode feels like just 5 minutes, leaving me craving more and counting the days until the next release.

China 🇨🇳 continues to dominate in cinematography, acting, storytelling, and chemistry. No one does historical costumes, horse riding, martial arts, or emotional intensity like them. Even The Untamed, despite heavy censorship, pulled in billions of views. Imagine the impact of a high-quality, uncensored Chinese BL with the same production scale. The talent is already there, just waiting for the freedom to shine. Hopefully, one day the BL ban will lift so we can see the full potential of these brilliant creators.

Revenged Love is written by Chai Ji Dan, the genius behind Addicted. I have waited almost a decade for something like this since Addicted was banned after episode 15. Watching Revenged Love feels like coming home, with heartfelt gestures, bike rides in the countryside, tender kisses, and fierce love that demands loyalty. The cornfield kiss was pure magic, soft yet intense, a silent promise of love. “Call me husband” was delivered with such deep, possessive emotion that it melted me instantly.

Episode 13 gave us so many iconic moments. Guo Cheng Yu caring for a tipsy Jiang Xiao Shuai was playful yet intimate, while Wu Suo Wei and Chi Cheng had me laughing in the shopping scene and breathless during the underwater kiss. That scene was a visual poem — slow, tender, and filled with longing. Lines like “I am a quick learner. Won’t take long before I become the perfect boyfriend” are the kind that stay with you long after the credits roll.

This drama does not just tell a story, it becomes part of your life. Every Monday and Tuesday, I wait like clockwork, heart pounding, ready to be swept away. When it ends, I know a part of me will go with it. If they ever release a photobook, DVD, or hold a fan meeting, I would buy everything and fly from Australia to China just to be there. That is how much this series has captured my heart.

The breakup scene was devastating — two souls tearing each other apart while still loving each other deeply. Wu Suo Wei’s sacrifice, selling his home, kneeling to his rival, and working endlessly to save Chi Cheng, is the purest form of love. His mother’s decision to hide her illness added another layer of heartbreak, leaving Chi Cheng caught between honesty and her final wish. I can only hope for a moment of reconciliation where she accepts their love before it is too late.

Episode 22 delivered playful chaos and emotional sweetness. The bathtub scene was sizzling, reminding us of the passionate bond between them. The sight of Chi Cheng, Wu Suo Wei, and the nephew together felt like a glimpse into the family they could be. If they cannot have children naturally, adoption or surrogacy would be the perfect way forward.

I’ve poured my heart into writing one for every episode, this is one example for expisode 23, obviously I cannot fit every episode's poem here.

Episode 23 shall be called ‘A Love That Sacrifices Everything.’

They said the last few episodes had too much comedy.
But this episode, the comedy is gone.
Episode 23 is sorrow in its purest form. 💔

Yue Yue drifted from Wu Suo Wei,
to Wang Zhen Long,
to Chi Cheng,
changing lovers like changing clothes,
always chasing the richer man.
And when Wu Suo Wei finally rose from poverty,
she dared to return.
When he refused her,
she turned to his mother.
If this is not the definition of a gold digger,
what is?

But Wu Suo Wei,
my heart aches for him.
Born poor,
counting every cent,
saving every coin.
Yet for Chi Cheng,
he sold everything,
even his home,
losing two million yuan,
just to save him.

Back on the streets,
he worked from dawn till night,
moulding sugar figurines,
hands raw and aching.
He knelt before Wang Zhen Long,
pride shattered,
for the man he loves.
And still, Wang Zhen Long came back to mock him.

Yet he stood tall.
He kept going.
If this is not love,
then love does not exist.

Even Chi Cheng’s rich parents stayed silent.
Was it because their son loves a man?
Would they rather leave their fortune to a grandson
than save their own child?

But there was one bright light,
Dr. Jiang Xiao Shuai,
offering help without hesitation.
A friend like that is rare.

And then the jail scene.
Two men, tears falling like rain.
Wu Suo Wei’s voice steady,
his love unshaken.
Chi Cheng saying, “I hate you,”
when what he really meant was,
I hate that you gave up everything for me.
I hate that you sold your family for my freedom.

Chi Cheng, crying quietly over a simple meal in prison,
is an image I’ll never forget.

Sometimes silence carries the loudest pain.
When Chi Cheng said, “I hate you,”
he was not pushing Wei Wei away
but drowning in the weight of sacrifice.

I hate that you gave up everything for me.
I hate that you sold your family for my freedom.
I hate that your happiness came at the cost of mine.

It is not hatred for Wei Wei
but hatred for a cruel fate they cannot escape.

If he truly meant those words,
he would not have sat there crying,
eating quietly, his tears falling unseen,
his walls crumbling, his heart bare.

His silence and broken guard
speak louder than any words ever could.

Tonight it all ends.
One last episode.
One final goodbye.

“I don’t need luxury,
I just need you.”

If this is not love,
tell me what is. 💔


Revenged Love has given me everything — romance, heartbreak, laughter, and moments so powerful they will stay with me forever. It is more than just perfect, it is a once-in-a-lifetime masterpiece that I will treasure for years to come. ❤️🔥

A Decade-Old BL That Doesn’t Hold Up to Its Remake

After watching 4 out of 24 episodes of the 2025 remake Revenged Love (which I’m loving so far and is one of my favorites this year!), I decided to check out the original 2015 Falling in Love with a Rival to see how it compares. Let’s just say, it doesn't quite measure up.

The series is much shorter than Revenged Love (8 episodes at 20 minutes each + a 10-minute special), and while there are no snake scenes like in the remake (which I didn’t mind), it still doesn’t hold the same charm. The plot was messy and felt like scenes were just cut and pasted together, with no real flow. 🌀

The rooms and sets were outdated for a 2015 series—honestly, Addicted (2016) had better visuals. While I liked the chemistry between Chi Cheng and Wu Suo Wei, some of their movements were awkward and didn’t feel natural at all. Even their uncut kissing scenes were poorly shot. 😬

The second couple had only about 2 minutes of screen time, which was a huge disappointment since Revenged Love really focuses on them. 😞

Overall, while I did enjoy a few scenes, the remake is definitely the superior version. If you’re curious, I’d recommend checking out Revenged Love first!

Messy plot, but MaxNat chemistry saves the day

As a longtime MaxNat fan (Cutie Pie, Two Worlds, and currently Suntiny), I had high expectations—and in terms of chemistry, they didn’t disappoint 💯 These two have incredible screen presence together, and their romantic scenes (especially the kiss and NC ones) were intense, emotional, and beautifully shot 😍🔥

Visually, Naughty Babe is stunning. The cinematography, locations, and styling all give the series a polished, high-quality feel 🎥🌄 It’s a feast for the eyes in every way.

But... the plot is where things fall short 😕 The storyline is quite messy—between the business-arranged marriage, Switzerland escape, and amnesia twist, it just felt like too much without enough depth or consistency. I found myself enjoying the moments more than the actual story.

The frustrating part is that Max and Nat have the acting chops to deliver a great emotional drama, but the writing just didn’t live up to their potential. It had the ingredients to be something amazing, but ended up feeling like a collection of nice scenes rather than a strong, cohesive series.

Still, for fans of the couple or anyone looking for a visually beautiful, romance-heavy BL with steamy moments and great actors, it’s worth the watch. Just don’t expect a tightly written plot 🫠
