Thank You Philippines

I really enjoyed the story of Luna and Harry, two characters with diametrically opposed personalities, but who share one thing in common: they live by night. Harry works as a radio presenter, while Luna produces simplified science magazines. Their characters are very different: Harry is radiant and organized, while Luna is rather reserved and seems a little lost in her life. I found the story simple, but extremely enjoyable.

The originality of this series lies in the fact that the characters are disabled. Harry uses a wheelchair, while Luna suffers from a sleeping sickness that forces her to sleep during the day and be full of energy at night. I really liked this aspect, as it's rare to see young women with disabilities on screen, which is a real breath of fresh air.

As for the acting, I have nothing negative to say. The chemistry between the actors is palpable and contributes greatly to the series' appeal.

They tried but it is a miss

I really enjoy how gay and flamboyant this series is it’s refreshing and different. However, compared to the two previous anthologies, it feels a bit all over the place and you end up getting lost. To me, having only a few episodes doesn’t mean a series can’t be good.

There isn’t enough time to get attached to the characters. The humor is nice, but when it’s overused, it kind of ruins things a bit, in my opinion.

I really like the cast. I hope Fluke, Lego, Soodyatch, and Neo get to appear together in another series, because they work really well as a group.

Touching

This series was truly touching. I really enjoyed watching these characters evolve throughout.
I didn't expect the series to have so much singing, but it wasn't bothersome in itself.

I really appreciated the series for the way it shows parenthood and how it can shape your teenage and adult life. Win has a good relationship with his father, with whom he can confide easily and even be very affectionate, unlike Nut, whose father emotionally abuses him by, for example, smashing his guitar and simply not caring about his opinion.

It's the same for Chai and Ek, where Chai sacrifices himself for his mother, while Ek has parents who are supportive and listen.

My main criticism of the series is that the pacing was slow, and I would have liked the characters Lin and Biu to be more developed; their development was really weak.

I recommend it if you're looking for soft characters and their evolutions.

A secret gem

The storyline is well developed, the scenes are beautiful, and the actresses take their roles very seriously. I especially liked the characters Tarn and Vicky they are complete opposites at first, but despite their differences, they eventually grow closer.

I also really enjoyed the police aspect of the series, and the action scenes are well executed.

The only thing that bothered me was the part where Tarn is drugged and Vicky still sleeps with her. I don’t think it’s appropriate to show something like that.

I also really liked Tarn’s friends they’re very endearing. Vicky also deserved a stronger group of friends. She does have one friend, but that relationship isn’t as memorable or well developed.

Despite that, I would still recommend the series, even if it does feel a bit like cop propaganda.

Fun watch

This is the first time I’ve seen a BL story with this kind of plot, and I really enjoyed it. The characters of Shiba and Aruto are very different in terms of personality, but they complement each other perfectly.

The series is quite fast-paced, but in just 12 episodes, we get a good understanding of the characters’ backgrounds and quickly grow attached to them.

I especially liked the humor, Shiba’s character development, as well as the intimate scenes between Aruto and Shiba. They were very subtle, not overly explicit, but really well done. Even the love confessions were something I truly enjoyed.

I had a really good time watching it.

A funny rom com

I understand why this series is so popular. It’s true that I don’t get all the inside jokes that Thai viewers might understand, but I still had a really good time watching it.

That said, it’s not a series with a complex storyline don’t expect something like KinnPorsche. It’s more about enjoying the moment.

My only negative point and I know this might sound immature is the kissing scenes between Thee and Peach, which I found quite underwhelming. I wasn’t asking for intense make-out scenes, but we’re watching a love story… at least kiss properly.

After episode 7, something feels really off. Pond gives it his all, while Phuwin sorry only seems to give about 30%.

The characters also deserved more development; everything stays very surface-level.

Tawan and Aran are basically useless to the story, and we keep seeing the same trope with Perth and Santa, which is becoming ridiculous.

Despite all that, the series is very comforting and funny, and I really enjoy watching it

A Playful Love Triangle

This is the fifth series in the Meteluv anthology. The story focuses on Na, a medical intern who has a crush on Nine, who is also an intern. However, Na grows closer to Leemai, a girl on whom Nine also has a crush, which creates a love triangle.

Honestly, the mini-series was entertaining and well acted. Na’s character is quite questionable at times, especially because of some disrespectful remarks toward Leemai, but it’s clear that she doesn’t do it intentionally, which makes her more forgivable.

I really liked the ending; it was a very good conclusion.

If you’re looking for something quick to watch without overthinking it, this series is for you.

Cliche but pleasant

The chemistry between the two actors is really strong, and the series is very funny. I like the sister, even though her husband is really useless… to the point where the mother ends up having a heart attack.

Dynamite Kiss is definitely a drama I really enjoyed watching this year. Yes, it includes all the classic rom-com clichés: fake dating, the second lead who realizes he’s in love too late, daddy issues, a female lead who sacrifices herself for her family — and the same goes for the male lead. But despite all of that, the series is still very entertaining.

Ji Hyeok and Da Rim are so lovable, sometimes annoying, but overall really adorable to watch. They have great chemistry and look amazing together.

However, the jealous sister who turns out to be the illegitimate child feels completely unnecessary. It doesn’t add anything to the story, and it’s not even a little bit fun.

I absolutely love the romance between Ji Hyeok and Da Rim they’re just too cute.

Episode 12 really ruined that special spark the series had. The writing was painful and made no sense, especially with characters we don’t even care about.

Still, after watching the final episodes and seeing the reactions on social media, the series remains enjoyable overall. Even though it uses every possible romance cliché, it’s still a pleasant watch.

Tried to do somethig but fell off

First of all, the concept of the series is completely crazy: dating your ex’s sister in order to get back the money they scammed from you—there’s no way that can end well.

The series really takes its time to get started, but by watching it week after week, you eventually grow attached quite easily.

In my opinion, Ploy and Pun should not be endgame. Yes, there is tension and chemistry between them, but their relationship is extremely toxic, even though it is very well acted. Honestly, the argument scenes are especially well done.

The second couple, on the other hand, is so much fun to watch. They give you a chance to breathe compared to the main couple—a more mature and respectful relationship.

One thing I really appreciated is that Pun and Ploy actually have a support system. I swear, when you watch a lot of GL series, most of them don’t, and I would really love to see this more often.

Overall, I like the series, even though I had a hard time getting hooked or becoming as obsessed with it as with others—and that’s okay.
