9/10 If you want comedic relief, this is the series for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I started watching the series I thought I was in for a BL rom-com, it isn't exactly that so don't start watching it thinking that. Its just a good comedy K-drama which I thoroughly enjoyed. Definitely would have liked to see the protagonists enthrall us with more than what they did due to all the tension and attention that was created onto them which could also have been a good reason why we need a season 2. Overall definitely watch it if you are looking for some laughs and thorough enjoyment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10/10 WOW!!! A show where nothing happens (if you stick to a narrow-minded view of events on a Hollywood or Bollywood scale) that sucks you in, sinks its hooks into you, and doesn't let go until the end. Simply beautiful. No fancy plots. No unexpected reveals. No gimmicks. Just an artfully crafted glimpse into the maiko life most people know nothing about. I know I sure didn't. And they nail the pacing. No extreme highs that like sugar cause you to crash and burn. And no extreme lows that make you dread "uh-oh, what's coming next" whenever a joyous event occurs. The pace stays comfortable, like a warm blanket, and you can relax and marvel at the simplicity yet intricate details throughout this masterpiece. The acting is so superb to the point you forget they are actresses and actors. And begin to think of them as real-life people living their normal everyday routines. l've only felt this way with one other show/movie. And that is "From Up on Poppy Hill" by Studio Ghibli. Well worth a binge watch!
10/10 Awesome Japanese series There's a growing disappointment that Japanese dramas have been declining in quality recently. Japanese TV stations commission dramas from external production companies four times a year, once each quarter. However, due to this long-standing tradition, they're now churning out predictable works that lack originality. The themes, stories, roles, and actors all seem to follow a formulaic pattern, resulting in Japanese TV series that are consumed and discarded without much impact. In contrast, this Netflix original series is a rare gem with a solid story (based on an already highly acclaimed novel) as its foundation. The performances and unique characteristics of each role are well-portrayed, making it thoroughly engaging. Unlike the typical 10-episode structure of Japanese drama series, this one is compressed into 7 episodes, allowing for a streamlined and fast-paced narrative without unnecessary filler. This is definitely a strong point. I'd like to praise how well the story, roles, and subject matter come together to create an excellent final product. The portrayal of the aging police detective, just six months away from retirement, is particularly noteworthy. It presents a realistic and convincing image of a seasoned investigator without falling into exaggeration. It's surprising to find charm in a gaunt, tired-looking old man, which makes this performance all the more impressive.
10/10 ASURA: Sentimental Family JDrama ASURA (2025) is a really great drama that follows the interwoven lives of the Takazawa family, namely the relationship between the four adult daughters (Tsunako, Makiko, Takiko, and Sakiko) and their parents. The series has an air of realism to it that made watching it a real treat. The show is both subtle and complex and overall very entertaining, especially when all four sisters interact. It's a real hoot! "In 1979, Four sisters face turbulence when their father's affair is exposed. Embodying the tumultuous "asura" demigods, they clash over differing outlooks on love yet find moments of connection amid conflict and growth." This sentimental show is a perfect balance of slice-of-life family drama and tender family interactions. "Asura" was a really great show and is a wonderful drama to check out, although a bit slower paced. I can't wait for more of these kinds of series.
10/10 The most perfect male lead drama I 've watched This drama is fabulous and interesting! Everything is so well done, from actors performances, costumes, scenes and makeup, storytelling, everything perfectly executed. Cheng Yi majestically beautiful and powerful performance, give us a special and unique sensation of beauty and grace! I really recommend it.
This is another Thai BL series which featuring a Korean actor. At first I was hesitant about watching it. Because of bad previous experiences with older series such as "Peach of Time" and "Love Is Like A Cat". Both series failed to successfully make a logical language connection. They're both forcing two languages without natural assimilation. The actors need to actually speak in the other languages to make an assimilation. Not just forcing to talk to the other person in their own language, but magically, the other person just understood them and then replying in their own mother language. That's what I call a language trainwreck. In this series, the actors respectfully learned both languages and put them in use while communicating. Sang Min spoke in Thai while Petch spoke in Korean (a little) when they're speaking to each other. In the plot, Sangmin is a Korean boy who stayed in Thailand for quite a while. So it's not weird if we see him understand a lot of Thai words. That is much more acceptable than some translation device that you had to put on every time you need to speak to people who speaks other languages. That's one of the things I like about this series. The other is about the good chemistry between the main leads. As for the things that I don't like, it's the absurd amount of BL couples they shoved in this series without any connection to the plot. Arthit & Tor as a couple still makes sense since they're tied to the plot. But Riktor & Guy? And the two doctors at the hospital? Those couples were like shoved in the audience's face without any reason. It's like they had a quota of couples in this series they had to achieve. That just made this series looked a little ridiculous. Other than that, this series is decent and good to watch. Even though there's so many unnecessary NC scenes which are insignificant to the plot.
10/10 Excellent BL drama Please ignore the hate comments-this show is a hidden gem. It's short, super cute, and incredibly calming. There's no drama, no unnecessary tension-just wholesome fluff and heartwarming moments. The visuals are soft and aesthetically pleasing, with a gentle color palette that adds to the relaxing vibe. The characters are lovable and well-designed, making it easy to get attached to them. It's the perfect show to unwind with after a long day. You'll feel genuinely happy and comforted after watching it. If you're in the mood for something light, sweet, and uplifting, definitely give this one a try!
10/10 This Series Is So Good! (MIGHT CONTAIN SPOILERS) I have no idea whether Heesu In Class 2 is based an a novel, a graphic novel or a web toon. I went in and watched it with zero expectations and i ended up so happy that i gave it a chance. The last episode made me confess to my crush as well To be honest, the finale felt like a mid season finale. I felt like i needed more because it ended as soon they got together. Another season a bit more focused on our main leads would be such a great idea, and if they do it, i hope they keep Lee Jin Hee for the soundtrack because the music was fantastic. Korean Bls are so good and i'm obsessed. I hope we get more of them in 2025.
Bad to Bed is one of those series that becomes even more rewarding the more attention you give it. Rather than telling its story in a straightforward way, it carefully weaves together memories and present-day events, allowing viewers to gradually uncover the characters’ emotional journeys. I actually enjoyed piecing everything together, as it made every revelation feel more impactful and satisfying.
What truly sets the series apart is its emotional depth. Instead of focusing only on romance, it explores healing, trauma, mental health, and the importance of finding someone who accepts you completely. The relationship develops with sincerity and patience, making every emotional breakthrough feel earned and meaningful.
The performances are heartfelt, bringing authenticity to characters who carry emotional scars while learning to open their hearts again. The cinematography and atmosphere perfectly complement the reflective tone of the story, creating a mature and intimate viewing experience that stays with you long after the final episode.
This isn’t a series built around flashy moments or constant fan service. It’s a thoughtful romance that values emotional connection above everything else. For viewers looking for a meaningful BL with beautiful storytelling, strong performances, and a touching message about love and healing, Bad to Bed is absolutely worth watching. An emotional hidden gem that deserves far more recognition and an easy 10/10.
I honestly think Uncle Unknown deserves far more appreciation than it has received. Even with its short episodes, the series manages to tell a touching and memorable story that focuses on emotions rather than unnecessary drama. Instead of rushing through the romance, it delivers meaningful moments that gradually build the connection between the characters, making every scene feel sincere and heartfelt.
One of the biggest strengths of the series is its simplicity. The compact format keeps the story easy to follow while allowing viewers to focus on the relationship at its center. The cast brings warmth and sincerity to their roles, and despite the limited runtime, they create believable chemistry that makes you want to see more of them together.
The production embraces a modest and intimate style that fits the tone of the story perfectly. Rather than relying on extravagant visuals, it lets the characters and their emotions take center stage. Every episode feels like a small piece of a larger love story, leaving a lasting impression despite its brief duration.
If you’re looking for a sweet, emotional, and easy-to-binge BL, Uncle Unknown is definitely worth your time. It’s a hidden gem that proves you don’t need a huge budget or long episodes to tell a heartfelt romance. A charming series that left me smiling from beginning to end and deserves a perfect 10/10.
Phro Khitthueng is a delightful companion story that expands the world fans already know and love while bringing its own unique charm. Even if some familiar characters have different names, it doesn’t take away from the experience. Instead, the series focuses on what truly matters: lovable couples, heartfelt romance, and plenty of entertaining moments that make every episode enjoyable.
The chemistry between the couples is one of the biggest highlights. Whether you’re rooting for Can and Tin, Ae and Pete, or discovering new favorite pairings, every relationship has its own personality and emotional appeal. The interactions feel warm, funny, and genuine, making it impossible not to smile while watching.
I especially enjoyed how lighthearted the series is. It balances comedy, romance, and friendship in a way that creates a comforting atmosphere without losing the emotional moments that BL fans love. The cast delivers charming performances, and it’s wonderful to spend more time with characters that have become so memorable over the years.
For longtime fans of the Love By Chance universe, this is a rewarding watch, while newcomers can also appreciate its sweet storytelling and lovable cast. It’s a feel-good BL filled with heart, laughter, and romance, making it an easy series to recommend. A wonderful addition to the franchise and an easy 10/10.
My Gear and Your Gown surprised me with its heartfelt storytelling and mature themes. Instead of relying on common BL clichés, it focuses on honest communication, friendship, family, and personal growth while letting the romance develop naturally. The high school arc is especially strong, though the university chapters lose some of that emotional magic. Even so, the excellent performances, touching finale, and meaningful messages make this an underrated BL that’s well worth watching.
10/10 AMAZING!! From the moment I started the first episode I was so captivated and could not stop watching. It was so entertaining watching the secrets and plot twist unfold. This has got to be one of the best K-dramas I've seen in a while! The storyline is different from the typical dramas on Netflix, so it was a breath of fresh air which I very much enjoyed. There was a lack of romance in the show, but it probably wouldn't have fit as the main character was constantly portrayed as a cold person. However, I do wish the main actress had more chemistry or development in her relationship. I'm so surprised the show doesn't have a higher rating, but hopefully with time it will change. I can't wait to see what else the writers and director comes out with next!
10/10 "Mask Girl": A Work of Uniqueness and Depth Yo, fellow binge-watchers! Just want to share my thoughts on this Netflix gem - "Mask Girl." Trust me, this show isn't just your regular popcorn entertainment - it's like a rollercoaster ride for your feels! Each episode is like a whole new plot, from office craziness to family stuff and a bit of dark humor. But here's the kicker: every character's the star of their own show. You see their side of things. But what sets "Mask Girl" apart? It's the crazy uniqueness. This ain't your run-of-the-mill show, It's like a mix of dark and gritty, with Twists. And the way they blend it all? Mind-blowing. Kudos to the writer for coming up with this twisted, mind-boggling concept.
10/10 Slow but engaging!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is might be bias because I like go minsi, but despite the slow plot in some part of the drama, i find the frog still engaging (you can skip the boring part though). Its been a while until i binge watching drama again, this one is one of it for me. One thing I think a bit strange is why did the suspicious woman not killing the old man, rather than give the sign that his daughter is the target? And why the old man let the woman stay at his villa again lol. This can be finished by 4-5 episodes only. But overall frim my pov, i think the sound, the cinematography, the art, and the cast are awesome.
7/10 Too much gratuitous sex, but nice twist ending Started off with a mystery and the premise makes the viewer root for certain characters. The unravelling of the mystery was entertaining to watch because of all the plot twists. The social injustice narrative became a bit too heavy with the sadistic abuse of the servants, and there never seemed to be any way out. The social injustice narrative became a bit too heavy with the sadistic abuse of the servants, and the tiresome part of it is the fact that there never seemed to be any way out. They all had to endure it because of the poverty back at home, and the seemingly high wages that "compensated" for the "back-breaking labour." In spite of that explanation, it's hard to believe that money is enough to motivate someone stay at this job when some of the abuse could maim them for life, making it difficult for them to continue earning any income at all. The acting was quite convincing for the most part, for both sides of villains and protagonists. Thanavate Siriwattanagul, who plays Mawin, stood out for me. The characterization of the servants was quite one-dimensional for all of them, so one cannot say that they had much acting to sell to begin with. Ending was satisfying, although a bit too fantastical.
10/10 Woah. ABSOLUTE CINEMAA!! I'm usually not one to watch Thai dramas but i decided to give this one a shot and it did NOT disappoint. Although i did get bored a couple of times, the anticipation kept me LOCKED IN. I seriously had no clue who was the killer but damn that shocked me. It was good, interesting. I wanted a bit more romance between Dalah and Sarath, but eh. I also wanted a bit more clearance on Risa and Kris and also Dalah's dad. But for one of my few first thai drams, this kept me on the edge of my seat till the end. The cinematography was also amazing. The intros and the details to the flowers were gorgeous! Overall, great.
8/10 Dying for season 2 The series actually has some similarities, as well as differences with the film edition. Overall, it's worth watching and interesting, I was on the edge of my seat, despite few illogical scenes.
9/10 Growing Pains, Rebellion, and the Pulse of Youth Bold and unflinching, Hormones: Wai Wawun dives into the chaos of adolescence, capturing the thrills, mistakes, and heartbreaks that shape a generation. This Thai coming-of-age film follows a group of high school students as they navigate love, friendship, and identity during one transformative summer. Rather than focusing on a single protagonist, the film interweaves multiple storylines-from first love and jealousy to ambition and insecurity-mirroring the fragmented yet vibrant nature of teenage life. The film's strength lies in its honesty. It doesn't shy away from depicting awkward moments, impulsive decisions, and emotional turbulence. By balancing humor with tenderness, it presents adolescence as both messy and meaningful. The young ensemble cast delivers natural, heartfelt performances that allow viewers to see themselves in the characters' struggles and dreams. Cinematography emphasizes the energy of youth, with bright cityscapes, buzzing schoolyards, and intimate closeups reflecting the highs and lows of teenage emotions. The soundtrack complements this vibrancy, amplifying moments of joy and melancholy. While some storylines feel underdeveloped due to the ensemble structure, the film's emotional authenticity outweighs its narrative imperfections. Ultimately, Hormones: Wai Wawun succeeds as both entertainment and social reflection, pushing boundaries for Thai teen cinema by portraying adolescence with rare candor. Rating: 9/10 - A daring, heartfelt, and relatable coming-of-age film that resonates across generations, making it one of Thailand's most memorable youth dramas.

When I started watching the series I thought I was in for a BL rom-com, it isn't exactly that so don't start watching it thinking that.
Its just a good comedy K-drama which I thoroughly enjoyed.
Definitely would have liked to see the protagonists enthrall us with more than what they did due to all the tension and attention that was created onto them which could also have been a good reason why we need a season 2.
Overall definitely watch it if you are looking for some laughs and thorough enjoyment!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A show where nothing happens (if you stick to a narrow-minded view of events on a Hollywood or Bollywood scale) that sucks you in, sinks its hooks into you, and doesn't let go until the end.
Simply beautiful. No fancy plots. No unexpected reveals. No gimmicks. Just an artfully crafted glimpse into the maiko life most people know nothing about. I know I sure didn't.
And they nail the pacing. No extreme highs that like sugar cause you to crash and burn. And no extreme lows that make you dread "uh-oh, what's coming next" whenever a joyous event occurs. The pace stays comfortable, like a warm blanket, and you can relax and marvel at the simplicity yet intricate details throughout this masterpiece.
The acting is so superb to the point you forget they are actresses and actors. And begin to think of them as real-life people living their normal everyday routines.
l've only felt this way with one other show/movie. And that is
"From Up on Poppy Hill" by Studio Ghibli. Well worth a binge watch!
There's a growing disappointment that Japanese dramas have been declining in quality recently. Japanese TV stations commission dramas from external production companies four times a year, once each quarter. However, due to this long-standing tradition, they're now churning out predictable works that lack originality. The themes, stories, roles, and actors all seem to follow a formulaic pattern, resulting in Japanese TV series that are consumed and discarded without much impact.
In contrast, this Netflix original series is a rare gem with a solid story (based on an already highly acclaimed novel) as its foundation. The performances and unique characteristics of each role are well-portrayed, making it thoroughly engaging. Unlike the typical 10-episode structure of Japanese drama series, this one is compressed into 7 episodes, allowing for a streamlined and fast-paced narrative without unnecessary filler. This is definitely a strong point.

ASURA (2025) is a really great drama that follows the interwoven lives of the Takazawa family, namely the relationship between the four adult daughters (Tsunako, Makiko, Takiko, and Sakiko) and their parents.
The series has an air of realism to it that made watching it a real treat. The show is both subtle and complex and overall very entertaining, especially when all four sisters interact.
It's a real hoot!
"In 1979, Four sisters face turbulence when their father's affair is exposed. Embodying the tumultuous "asura" demigods, they clash over differing outlooks on love yet find moments of connection amid conflict and growth."
This sentimental show is a perfect balance of slice-of-life family drama and tender family interactions. "Asura" was a really great show and is a wonderful drama to check out, although a bit slower paced. I can't wait for more of these kinds of series.

This Thai coming-of-age film follows a group of high school students as they navigate love, friendship, and identity during one transformative summer. Rather than focusing on a single protagonist, the film interweaves multiple storylines-from first love and jealousy to ambition and insecurity-mirroring the fragmented yet vibrant nature of teenage life.
The film's strength lies in its honesty. It doesn't shy away from depicting awkward moments, impulsive decisions, and emotional turbulence. By balancing humor with tenderness, it presents adolescence as both messy and meaningful. The young ensemble cast delivers natural, heartfelt performances that allow viewers to see themselves in the characters' struggles and dreams.
Cinematography emphasizes the energy of youth, with bright cityscapes, buzzing schoolyards, and intimate closeups reflecting the highs and lows of teenage emotions. The soundtrack complements this vibrancy, amplifying moments of joy and melancholy. While some storylines feel underdeveloped due to the ensemble structure, the film's emotional authenticity outweighs its narrative imperfections.
Ultimately, Hormones: Wai Wawun succeeds as both entertainment and social reflection, pushing boundaries for Thai teen cinema by portraying adolescence with rare candor.
