10/10 Absolute reality and humanity
In this hetero ocean, two fish appear, each with its own sea and deep down they have doubts about who they really are... Japan produces LGBTQ+ projects, ranging from complete strongholds to completely unrealistic pieces based on manga, but still Japanese society as a whole is not so open to human differences on the outside, traditions and uniformity are adhered to. This wonderful piece is proof of how these two characters were shy and approached their inner differences so cautiously. That is why, in my opinion, this series is so different from most others, which offer unreality, fairy tales and often we don't find many hetero characters in the project. Thanks to the director, the entire team and both guys who put that special Japanese charm and absolute REALITY into it, it is civil, HUMAN and for me not 10/10, but 11/10.Someone here mentions whether the project would have been so highly rated if it weren't for BL. Of course it wasn't.
After all, the hetero characters wouldn't have to fumble around so much, come to terms with their difference on the outside, and it would have been a completely normal series.

10/10 Lovely
A beautiful series. A delicate script, with some forgivable flaws, endearing characters, excellent cinematography, and incredible performances. The entire cast is top-notch, whether they play the main characters or the secondary ones, they are wonderful. The cinematography is very well done. The handling of light in the shots is very beautiful, giving us images full of beauty. Regarding the script, it gives us really profound and incredible dialogues, with phrases that make you want to incorporate them into your own notebooks. Beautiful. The music accompanies perfectly.Moonlight Chicken shows us complex stories in a simple way, without avoiding a bit of reality. The themes are treated sincerely and without fuss. Wonderful, for example, how the hearing impairment of one of the secondary characters is addressed.
The characters are lovely. Among my favorites is Wen, whom we can get to know in his entirety from the first episode. A laid-back, strong, seductive, and mature guy, and at the same time, with a sweetness that is simply irresistible. I think it is the best performance I have seen from Mix. On the other hand, we have Li Ming, a teenager struggling for his coming of age, played by Fourth in a masterful way.
Undoubtedly, the best he has done in character development and, along with Gemini playing Heart, they steal the series and eclipse the protagonists with the tenderness, humanity, and delicacy with which they portray their characters.
I would also like to highlight Khaotung playing Gaipa, a secondary character, without much presence in the story, but who is so, so well acted by him that it moves you.
Everything about him is natural, endearing. He is so lovable.
This actor has outdone himself. He has surprised me enormously in this performance, showing that he can play great roles.
In summary, I highly recommend it.

10/10 Multiversal perfection
Let me be honest, at first, I started watching this because of Jimmy. I fell for him in Bad buddy and thats the reason why I wanted to see this. In the end, it totally couth me. Jimmy and Sea have perfect chemistry and watchers have no other choice but fall for it. The story was amazing, even if I was litte bit confused in the first episode. I thought OhmNanon are in the original universe and JimmySea in the different one, but when it was clear to me, I was impatiently waiting for new ep. I would love to see some spin off about Tess and Pakorn living in our world and how did they deal with the multiversal situation, because from the first or second episode we know that there Had been some issue between them before they "died".Bonus: Beautiful soundtrack. It's really worth to listen!

10/10 A Heartfelt Symphony of Love and Struggles
ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat is a 2024 Thai romantic drama series directed by Aticha Tanthanawigrai, starring William Jakrapatr Kaewpanpong and Est Supha Sangaworawong, alongside the members of the Thai boy band LYN. Co-produced by GMMTV and Parbdee Taweesuk, this 13-episode series captures the complex realities of the idol industry and the human relationships that evolve within it.The story revolves around Pawat "Po" Nuenganan, an aspiring videographer, who is hired to document the final concert of the boy band MARS before their disbandment. Po becomes a confidant to the band's leader, Teema "Thame" Kanjanakitkul, who is on the verge of debuting in South Korea. As tensions among the band members unravel, Po helps Thame reconcile with his group while navigating a budding romance that must remain hidden from the public eye.
Initially, I wasn't convinced this series would stand out. The premise seemed overused, and the chemistry between the leads didn't quite shine in the trailers. But watching ThamePo proved me wrong. Not only did Est and William deliver nuanced performances, but the entire LYKN ensemble brought authenticity and depth to the narrative.
The series excels in portraying the darker side of the entertainment industry, from the relentless scrutiny idols face to the challenges of maintaining a "perfect" image for fans. It highlights real issues, such as internal competition, favouritism, and the heartbreaking reality of fans rejecting idols for simply falling in love. These insights add a layer of realism and emotional weight to the story, making it more than just another BL romance.
The relationship between Thame and Po is the heart of the series, offering a refreshing take on romantic dynamics.
Their connection is built on patience, care, and mutual understanding, creating moments that feel pure and genuine. Thame's attentiveness and Po's quiet strength make their relationship a beacon of green flags in the genre.
The slow-burn progression of their love is tender, and their small, heartfelt gestures resonate deeply.
However, the series doesn't shy away from the harsher realities of their situation. The breakup episode between Thame and Po is a standout moment, delivering emotional impact while reflecting the brutal pressures of the entertainment industry. It's a poignant reminder of the sacrifices idols are forced to make for their careers.
The camaraderie within the MARS group is another highlight. Despite conflicts and misunderstandings, the bond between the members feels genuine and evolves beautifully over the course of the series. The show effectively balances the tension and support within the group, showcasing the complexities of friendship in a high-pressure environment.
Visually, ThamePo impresses with its cinematography and production quality. The wide shots and vibrant colours elevate the storytelling, while the music, performed by LYKN, enhances the emotional beats of the series. William's singing adds an extra layer of authenticity, making the portrayal of MARS feel genuine.
Pepper's para social fan storyline was inevitable and vital, and it could have been explored further, these shortcomings don't overshadow its overall impact.
ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat is a journey of love, friendship, and resilience. It sheds light on the challenges idols face while delivering a heartfelt, slow-burn romance that lingers in the viewer's mind. For fans of emotionally rich and beautifully crafted dramas, this series is a must-watch.
A touching, thought-provoking gem that strikes the perfect balance between drama and romance.

10/10 this is absolutely a good series
Revenge is a dish best served cold, and in the scorching-hot world of BL dramas, "Revenged Love" delivers a deliciously icy thrill ride. This series masterfully blends the classic tropes of revenge, forbidden love, and simmering tension into a compelling narrative that keeps you hooked from the very first episode. The pacing is excellent, never dragging while allowing ample time for character development and emotional resonance.The performances are uniformly strong. The lead actors possess undeniable chemistry, their interactions crackling with both animosity and undeniable attraction. Their portrayal of the complex emotional landscape-the simmering resentment, the hesitant vulnerability, and the eventual, explosive passion-is nothing short of captivating.
Supporting characters are equally well-developed, each contributing meaningfully to the overall plot and adding layers of intrigue to the central conflict. Their stories, while interwoven with the main narrative, stand on their own, adding depth and richness to the viewing experience.
The writing is sharp and witty, balancing the dramatic weight of the revenge plot with moments of lighthearted humor that prevent the story from becoming overly melodramatic. The dialogue is natural and believable, enhancing the emotional impact of key scenes. The writers cleverly weave in unexpected twists and turns, keeping viewers guessing and invested in the unfolding drama. The reveal of certain plot points is expertly handled, adding a satisfying layer of complexity to the characters' motivations and actions.
Visually, "Revenged Love" is stunning. The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing the beauty of the setting while effectively enhancing the emotional tone of each scene. The soundtrack is equally impressive, perfectly complementing the mood and adding another layer to the immersive experience. The use of music is particularly effective in highlighting emotional shifts, amplifying the impact of key moments and enhancing the overall viewing experience.

While the revenge plot forms the backbone of the series,
"Revenged Love" is ultimately a story about love, forgiveness, and the complexities of human relationships.
It's a testament to the power of second chances and the transformative potential of genuine connection. The series successfully explores themes of betrayal, redemption, and the enduring strength of the human spirit. It's a must-watch for fans of BL dramas and anyone who appreciates a well-crafted story with compelling characters and a satisfying resolution. The emotional journey is intense, the characters are memorable, and the overall impact is unforgettable.
Highly recommended!

10/10 Like magnets they attract each other.
I don't know what I can say about this year. It's definitely a year full of incredibly gripping BL series. I've already seen some great BLs this year. Love in the Moonlight - is another absolute must-see for anyone who loves this genre.The story is absolutely exciting. I really like the relationship between Saenkaew, Pin, and Sasin. And I've already taken a shine to Sasin's friends as well. I'm incredibly excited to see what happens next and what plot twists might occur.
I find the dynamic developing between Saenkaew and Sasin incredibly fascinating. The chemistry is definitely amazing.
The attraction is magnetic. Another breathtaking gay couple has found each other.
Have fun watching. : )

10/10 It Has It all
I wasn't ready at all-the first episode felt like the climax already! I was hooked from the start. I'm a sucker for time-travel stories, and having Pond in the lead just made it even better. He's one of my favorite BL actors. I've seen him in Century of Love, 180 Degree Longitude, and Fourever You, and he always blows me away with his acting.I also have a soft spot for complex plots and heavier themes, so Reset really hit the mark. Plus, I love series where actors play actors-like Top Form and My Stand-In. It's always interesting to get a glimpse into what it's like behind the scenes of the industry, even in a fictional way.
--- Characters:
Armin - A well-known actor at the peak of his career. But right after winning a best actor award, he catches his boyfriend cheating-with his best friend. A fight breaks out, and Armin accidentally falls to his death. When he wakes up, he's on a film set as an extra. Turns out he's somehow traveled back from 2025 to 1999.
Thada - A rich, powerful chairman of an artist agency. In 2025, he secretly admired Armin from afar but never had the courage to approach him. Now that Armin and him back in 1999, Thada isn't wasting the chance to bring him into his life.
---
This series gives a great look into the showbiz world-its cutthroat competitiveness, the struggles of rising stars, and the personal battles that come with it. Thada's conflict with his stepbrother adds more drama, but what really stands out is how protective and supportive he is toward Armin. It's so heartwarming to watch.
Their connection does feel a little rushed, though. It's like Thada is completely whipped in both timelines, haha. But I love their sweet moments-they're what I live for! Their chemistry is so palpable.
One thing I noticed: there are a lot of villains in this show.
The main one, Thiwthit, is... intense. I can't tell if I'm annoyed by his over-the-top acting (though maybe that's how his character was written?) or just amused. I keep thinking about his role in I Will Knock You, the series every time he shows up on screen. It's complete 180 in his character here in Reset, lol! What a versatile actor.
---
As for the time-travel element (2025 and 1999 eras)-it's cool and well executed, from their costumes, to their dumb phones and also cinematography.
Reset is a brilliant time-travel BL. Great production, amazing cast, beautiful cinematography, and strong performances all around. Huge kudos to everyone involved!

10/10 A Home Away from Home: A Warm Hug!
Perfect 10 Liners may not be the best work of art, it had become a part of my week for half a year (6 odd months) and I guess I'm sad yet happy. It's always overwhelming when some random group of people l've never met, become a part of my "life" somehow. To miss them when I won't see them ever so often, will always feel bitter sweet. This gave me such We Are vibes. Just a bit longer and a lot funnier and goofier version. I'd definitely wanna watch this group again and till something new comes up, Perfect 10 Liners will be my go to comfort BL show that doesn't end up making me ball my eyes out, but instead leaves me smiling.Was this review helpful to you?
10/10 Jimmy and Sea made me believe in love, pain, and everything in between
I wasn't ready for how good MMP would beThe
storytelling, the visuals, the soundtrack, everything feels so intentional and beautifully done.
I'll be honest, I went in a little skeptical. I liked the novel, but I wasn't sure how it would translate on screen... and wow, I did not expect to be this hooked.
Their dynamic hits even harder on screen than it ever did on the page.
Intu absolutely wrecked me as
There's something so raw
in his eyes, like the kind of sadness that settles in young and never quite leaves.
And that parking lot scene? Sea didn't just act he embodied it. Every emotion flickered across his face like lightning: the fear, the Anger, the hesitation, the aching vulnerability.
We're finally peeling back the layers of Intu his wounds, his dreams, the weight of his past and honestly, it just makes him even more magnetic.
Thap is so puen coded
Unsettling, obsessive,
annoying, way too intense... and I eat it up.
Jimmy has such a natural gravity on screen. Whether he's being quietly protective or just existing in Thap's skin, he commands attention without even trying. Their dynamic?
Explosive in the best way.
Jimmy really stepped up, he's leveled up so much.
And Sea... I adore him in Last Twilight and i was a little worried I'd still see "Day" peeking through, but nope. From his first scene, he was Inthu.
And their chemistry? Off the charts. It's not just acting it's instinctive, electric, undeniable.
I don't know what kind of magic they're working with, but l want more of it. Immediately.

* 10/10 A different kind of k drama -- fun, refreshing, romantic, moving
The reviewer who complained about the romance subplot is so off it's wild.First of all, this show's actual genre is crime romance. It's listed as a romance. So why would they expect there not to be a romance. And the romance itself is a slow burn and is given way less screen time than the crime and horror aspects.
Second, the male lead's character arc is completely tied in with the overall plot arc and with FLs character arc, he's not just there to look pretty or make us swoon, he is very important to every aspect of the story and drives much of the action. He doesn't just pop in to be romantic, he is key to the central plot of the serial killer and is the reason why the FL even has a character arc, cause...
Third, the FL is not a judge trying to advance her career, she's a demon trying to complete a mission. She's there for one job and one job only -- to find and kill murderers to send them to hell. The ML is not distracting some story of a judge trying to become a better judge, he's making her interesting by being the key to her humanizing as a demon, which is the entire central point of her character arc. Watching a demon go around coldly killing murderer after murderer with no change would get real boring after a few eps.
It seems that reviewer just wanted a completely different story, with different characters and a different plot. Instead of looking at what story this show is trying to actually tell, and if it's doing a good job.
Which, it really is. This show has so much going for it and the romance only adds to that. The FL and ML have fantastic chemistry. The writing is very tight and knew where it was going from the start, everything connects well together and develops so organically. Good directing a great editing. All the actors are nailing their roles. It's fun at times, scary at times, moving at times. It's been my favorite drama this year.

We Will See - Seen This Theme Before
Only the 2nd episode so far, so leaving it open for additional comments tor "First Lady" when more come out,, but I have definitely seen this theme before of the ML running for President of S Korea with the faithful wife sticking by his side (with a HS age child of course), and also the wife behind his success for winning the election in the first place, all the while him being stone cold to the wife snd child with cheating allegations snd asking for a divorce of course.I initially am struggling to adjust to the Ml's change of acting roles from last year's award winning drama from good guy to the stone cold cheating guy this time and also another actor who was on the same drama in s different roll. Will see how the total flip of acting skills turns out.

10/10 What is equity?
This drama explored the injustice unfolding in Thaland, and perhaps the same at many other countries; capitalism, human rights, LGBTQ rights, disabilities right, power imbalance, police brutality, and corruption. But is the fight worth fighting for?As. Director Anucha Boonyawatana explored the complex social issues of equality and equity through art using well known anti-government artists, drama, paired with excellent sountrack, in an attempt to discuss these complex issues. It wasn't hard to find real life stories in Thailand to match every theories being discussed. Using a gang of five young University students as we walk alongside with them in the journey to fight injustice, the question was raised - what happened after those we are fighting against have fallen?
Will there be another one again, or is the issues ever resolved? Martin Luther King Jr died for racism, and yet racism is still deeply ingrained in our society.
Unlike typical Thai Boy Love drama, gender is fluid. Male and
and their chemistry is impeckbable; their acting have improved dramatically, with Gun acting as twins, Black and White, who has very different personalities.
Fluke Gawin Caskey as a fallen policeman is an work of art; his struggle to understand his identity and where he fits, being completely vulnerable against Yok, as played by First Kanaphan Puitrakul, watching them acting against each other is beautiful and sad to watch.
The female characters, often seen as disposable in BL dramas, Eugune, Namo and Nuch helps strengthen the story, and are the backbones of these young men.
While we watch romance blossoms, characters changed, and finding ways to fight the fight, we admire the bravery of. all those involved. This topic is no easy topic to discuss in modern day Thailand; a tyrant government mixed with corruption. Anucha did say that much of these discussions can only be explored academically, and much were taken out because of censorship.
Mixing social issues with entertainment, unfortunately there are only 14 episodes and it feels a little rush, when there are so much more to discuss. Must watch but you will definitely need time to digest the story.
