10/10 My Sweetheart Jom Truly A Masterpiece! Worth Every Second Of Watching!

It's a beautiful love story of Yo and Jom. A story where two people gradually get to know each other, get used to living around one another, and start helping and trusting each other little by little. As they continue to discover more about each other, Yo and Jom realize they're falling in love. This is a series where everything is very logical and consistent. Yes, it's not the type of series filled with tons of kisses and sex scenes, but that's exactly what makes it so good. It's a show about feelings, love, family, and school. What I absolutely adore about this series is that the main characters, with their superb acting, managed to convey emotions and feelings to us-whether it's love, sadness, joy, sorrow, or any other emotion. For me, this series is magnificent!

Excellent Story with Flaws but Worth The Watch

This is one of my favorite BL series of 2021. The only reason for 9 and not 10 is a few inconsistencies plus having to see
F4 Thailand cast in ads.
Anyway Phuwin is hilarious, dramatic and great. And Naravit really brought his A game. His character of Sutthaya aka Mork was spot on as someone who would not give up on the person he loved regardless.
His emotions were well conveyed in every scene. I really love him and Phuwin as Mork and Pi.
I didn't love the story of Duean and Meen but it was decent enough. Both actors were pretty good. And it is always to see Mix in action even though his role was small in this one.
And an ending to be proud of. I have watched and rewatched this show and it never gets old. Great. Absolutely Great.
Flaws and all. But not too many flaws.

10/10 ONE OF THE BEST!!

I saw the clip on ig and decided to watch it. I absolutely loved it! The plot is amazing, the cinematography, the aesthetics, the characters, the OSTs, and the visuals omg, everything is perfect! This set my standards way high for BL series. It is beautifully directed and I love the couples chemistry. It has drama, comedy, and ROMANCE!
I am in love! It's my favorite BL series ever! I am so glad I found it. A must watch for everyone! :)
Where do I even start? The actors? Acting?
Cinematography?? Named it! This series surpasses my expectation especially the main actor Nunew. He s way better than most of BL actors these days (Im sorry need to get this out of my chest)
The series is meant to be a rom-com where audience just have to enjoy the ride without having too many plot messing things up (honestly Im tired of the same plot). I enjoyed watching it and it just makes my weekend all way better.
Worth the watch and cant wait for more upcoming episodes!

10/10 | Enjoyed Thoroughly

From the very first episode it was a treat to the eyes and ears. I loved the way food was used as the theme. I loved the way they portrayed the relationship between food, human and the emotions it brings."Food is Memory" Loved the acting skills of all the actors specially the leads. Subtle yet impactful.
The slomo parts were my favorites. So effective and dramatic...just loved it. My favorite ep is the 1st ep...I can rewatch it anytime of the day.
I've saw many
negative reviews before watching the series, but THANK GOD! | decided to watch it anyways. I was hooked and somewhat obsessed. I'm a baker myself and I could relate to every bit of it.
I hope the leads get to work together again on other projects because they had amazing onscreen chemistry. Their acting was so natural and believable.

Unexpectedly nice doctor

Overall, I liked the lakorn. It's rare when all three couples are perfectly suited for each other and have incredible chemistry. At the same time, all three couples are completely different. I was delighted with Arm's new face; he's simply so pleasant to look at and has such a sweet, calm character, yet so relaxed in intimate moments. I hope to see him in other roles. The second couple was incredibly hot-the looks, the kisses, and everything else-it was absolutely delicious. I watched nonstop to the end, which is rare for me; I usually skip straight to the end after episode 5.
There are some downsides, too (cliches and typical lakorn nonsense, like two wives, etc.). For example, in the episode where Per gets shot, everyone spent an hour trying to figure out why and who did it, while the poor guy sat there bleeding. It was a weird scene. Also, the intimate scenes were a bit implausible; for the first time, it was like clockwork for the guys. But it's beautifully filmed. Overall, BL lakorns occupy a worthy place in their genre! I think the rating is unjustifiably low. In response to the previous review, "Doctor is boring," it's not! Make sure you know the genres before writing about non-canonical relations - this is BL!

10/10 A captivating storyline with a clear message

Minutes once again proves that BL series can explore captivating narratives beyond the typical romance tropes we often see.
The Story: Speaking of the plot, 4 Minutes is an incredibly well-thought-out story. The "4 minutes" concept, along with the different characters' experiences, made it deeply emotional and, at times, heartbreaking.
Great, desperately trying to change the past and fix his mistakes.
Korn, longing to escape his old life and run away with Tonkla, the man he truly has feelings for.
Tyme, yearning for a better, more fulfilling past with Great.
A special mention goes to Win, who wasn't a winner, but in fact ironically the biggest loser in the series. Win, a police officer, who deeply loved Tonkla, someone who attempted to murder no less than three people, someone who's heart already belonged to Korn, someone who only slept with him as a way to cope with his grief of losing his brother Dome.
Win's tragic arc climaxed in him accidentally shooting Tonkla, the very person he loved. This ultimately resulted in a Romeo and Juliet-like tragedy, with Korn taking his own life after losing the person he couldn't imagine living without.
Korn's prestory was equally heartbreaking. As a brother, he carried the heavy burden of their parents' shady business dealings, all to protect his younger brother, Great. He even went as far as agreeing to marry a woman he didn't love, sacrificing his own happiness and abandoning his true love, Tonkla, in the process.
The Cast: Jes and Bible were nothing short of fantastic.
Considering this is their first series, they absolutely nailed their performances. Seeing Bas step into such a contrasting role after KinnPorsche was refreshing, and it only reinforced the idea that we need to see more of the KinnPorsche cast in varied roles. A special shout-out goes to whoever cast Fuaiz. He perfectly portrayed a character shaped by a troubled home, trusting only his brother Dome, and ultimately becoming someone broken by desperation and revenge. His journey from finding love and stability with Korn to becoming a character driven to murder was portrayed with chilling authenticity.
NC Scenes: The NC scenes were surprisingly explicit, but each one felt intentional and necessary to the storytelling of the characters and their emotional arcs. For instance, the chronologically first NC scene between Tonkla and Korn in their first encounter wasn't just about intimacy - it was about trust, stability, and comfort in a relationship that had just begun to take shape. Later, we see Tonkla turning to Win as a way to cope with the immense grief of losing his brother, Dome, showing how far the character had fallen emotionally. And then there's the beautiful, intimate scene between Great and Tyme in Greats alternate timeline, where their love is finally allowed to blossom after Great's successful attempt to save Nan.
Cinematography & Soundtrack: Visually, the show was a treat. The cinematography, the framing of each shot, and the choice of music were impeccably paired with the emotions of every scene. Everything felt deliberate and meaningful. Especially the last scene of Ep. 8 of Great and Tyme laying on the boat was such a great homage to the truck scene in KinnPorsche. And let's not forget Jes singing the KinnPorsche OST "Why Don't You Stay" in his Characters 4-minute moment-it left me absolutely in tears.
Final Thoughts: 4 Minutes is a masterpiece in every sense.
It's the kind of BL that seeks an audience willing to engage with the complexity of the plot, one who doesn't mind being left with questions after each episode.
The Message: The series leaves a powerful takeaway: Live your life fully. Don't leave things unresolved. Fix the things you can, and never leave words unsaid with those you love.

Irresistible

This series has no business being this good, but it's simply irresistible. When I finished it, I sat down and watched the whole thing again straight through, I just couldn't get enough. It's incredibly romantic, but also balanced by pain, anger, and sorrow. This is a show I'll be turning over in my head for a long time.
The soundtrack needs its own special shoutout, I'm pretty sure l listened to Hard to Let Go by Alex Chou about a hundred times on repeat. And Yu himself singing Blue Lover is just absolutely beautiful.
I hope you give We Best Love a shot, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)

Yakuza... BL!?

From the first scene, I knew this series was going to be more dark and gritty then romantic and soft, which makes perfect sense considering it's within a Yakuza plot. The character dynamic is definetly a unique one: Odajima, the one ordered to kill Kataoka, the young boss, an admired and compassionate man, finds himself struggling to complete his mission even with his 7 year long grudge against him.
Odajima has been living a horrible, rough life which Kataoka manages brings light to.
For only six, 25 minute episodes, I was deeply invested in this series. The feel of it is sad, intense, and quiet. You could never really tell the outcome. I loved the kissing scenes (unimportant information) and I think they built a great bond during an insanely difficult situation. I'm happy with the end and I'd recommend this to anyone who likes the darker side of life and romance.

10/10 Well, I really liked it...

If a show isn't all that interesting, I will find myself subconsciously counting the absurd amount of table lamps they've used to dress a set. Set designers just LOVE table lamps. l've seen all 16 current episodes of Fourever You and haven't counted lamps once. In fact, get so caught up with what's going on that I forget I don't speak Thai and I have to rewind to catch up on the subtitles.
Sure, the show isn't without its flaws. I personally am not a fan of the 3 Stooges slapstick side friendships that seem to get shoe-horned in a lot to these types of series. Also the flow seems too drawn out and disjointed in the Ter/Hill storyline. And the subtitles look like they've been written by an Al who is both drunk, and dyslexic. Just as well I'm fluent in reading between the lines. It's such a pity I haven't been able to get my hands on an English language version of the books this is based on...yet.
loved the friendship dynamics of the four 2nd Year medical students. It actually looked like they were genuinely friends IRL as well as on-screen. I also quite enjoyed the Ter and North friendship. It looked fun. Sure, the actor who plays Easter goes way too far over the top, but you get used to it.
But I'm all in for the Johan/North relationship. Bas and Maky have brilliant chemistry, and I thoroughly enjoyed the storyline.
The casting directors sure knew what they were doing when they cast Typhoon. I do know some of what's coming in season 2 and I don't know if my poor heart can take it.
Overall, I didn't find the acting to be poor at all, with the exception of just a couple of minor actor roles. I also pay to watch the longer uncut versions, which seem to be 10 minutes longer than what you get for free on YouTube in the UK. No big deal, just swapped in Studio Wabi Sabi and cancelled Disney+...no great loss.

Visually, "Love for Love's Sake" is a treat for the eyes. The Vibrant colors and stunning landscapes enhance the fantasy elements of the film, creating a visually engaging experience. The seamless integration of CGI and practical effects adds an extra layer of immersion to the gaming sequences, further enhancing the movie's appeal.
At its core, "Love for Love's Sake" is a story of love, growth, and self-discovery. The movie offers a unique perspective on navigating relationships and finding happiness in both the virtual and real worlds. It also highlights the importance of personal growth and the transformative power of love.
These themes resonate strongly with viewers, offering valuable insights and emotional resonance.

10/10 A pleasant experience

This time my review will be a bit longer, but those who know me and write to me many times in SZ will surely forgive me.
This is one of those really good mystery series connected with the Thai branch of Buddhism, it surprised me because after the first episode I had no idea what would happen next, because the original described plot took place in the first episode and I didn't like the main characters either.
Apparently, the same process took place inside me while watching, as with many viewers, because the increase in ratings from the first episodes to the end is not typical, it usually decreases (IMDb from 7.2 to 8.3 and MDL from 8.0 to
8.5) and I found my way to two the main performers and I started to like them a lot, both as characters and as actors.
Well, if I look at San (Daou), how he looks at MDL in civilian clothes, maybe it's not him either, I don't want that!
*I've
gotten used to it and I love the look of the "old man" with old-fashioned clothes and short pants, the creators did a good job with that. Not to mention Ponda (Third), I already love this little girl from the 180 Degree series... And even the great-great-granddaughter Ju was really great, one of the few "normal" female characters in BL projects, otherwise we mostly meet scumbags, extra bushes, or is the character scared, affected or annoying. All of them, including Ton and Tao, convinced me that in the end I gave the acting performances not a nine, which I originally thought, but a ten, despite the slightly grinning "rat" Rat.
The overall concept, the story, the actors, the music, all of this completely prevailed in my assessment, and this is not affected even by the not completely 100% processing, which can be partially excused by the fact that the creators had to fit into a very limited budget (battles, shooting games and red marmalade or raspberry juice, treadmill, etc. And at the climax of the last episode we had to watch Tao brushing his teeth with superpaste). But what I can't forgive, and it shouldn't affect the budget, and many viewers will forgive even this under the overall impression, are the two Asian
"falls" in the first part and in the last one, when Wat holds the stone in his pretty feminine fingers and in the close-up in the shot, it is held by a man's fingers (apparently this omitted scene was recorded by directors Wo and MI themselves), I thought they were going to limit me,l've already seen it in some other series, l'd kick someone from the crew for that, and I'm reducing it by two whole rating points for processing.

9/10 Such a Happy and Fun Series: Great Watch

Wandee Goodday is a happy and fun series. I was surprised as to how much I liked and enjoyed this TV show. The fact that they don't take themselves seriously as a show works as a strength for this show, as you can tell that they are just having fun and making a great watch of a tv show. The casting for this show is perfect. Sarin Ronnakiat (Inn Sarin) is just amazing as Dr. Wandee and makes you love his character, he is joyful, thoughtful and a good person. Inn Sarin does justice to the role of Dr. Wandee and even elevates the character if I may say so. Sapol Assawamunkong (Great Sapol) is just so lovable as Yoryak.
He plays his character of a wrestler with charm. He is charming, lovable and also very thoughtful. Both actors, Inn and Great have a wonderful chemistry together in this show.
They are both great actors and I look forward to see their future works. Sattabut Laedeke is great as Plakao, Dr.
Wandee's best friend and is a breadth of fresh air in the series. He shines in his role.
Overall this is such a good, heartwarming watch of a TV show. Such a happy show with it's manageable ups and downs. A very cute and fun series all in all.

A Supernatural Thai BL Masterpiece That Stuns With Heart and Horror

honestly can't remember whether I saw the trailer or pilot first, but I stumbled upon Khemjira while scrolling through iQIYI - and thank heavens I did. The trailer alone was one of the best l've seen in ages, and by the first episode, I knew I was in for something special. It hooked me instantly - beautiful, haunting, and impossible to look away from.
Khemjira (Khemjira Must Survive) is a Thai supernatural romantic Boys' Love drama that dives deep into themes of fate, karma, and love across lifetimes. It follows Khemjira - or "Khem" - a young man cursed by a family tragedy that dooms all male descendants to die before turning 21. To protect him, his mother gives him a feminine name, hoping to trick fate itself. But as his 21st birthday nears, the supernatural world awakens. When Khem begins to see spirits, his friend Jet leads him to Ubon Ratchathani to seek help from Pharan, a powerful shaman - and, as fate would have it, Khem's lover from a past life.
From there unfolds a slow-burn story that blends Thai folklore, reincarnation, and romance with a chilling touch of horror. Directed by Panuwat Inthawat, Kittipat Champa, and Patarapon To-oun, and written by Supachod Kajonsiripong, this Domundi TV production is adapted from Cali's novel Khemjira Must Survive. The show stars Namping Napatsakorn Pingmuang as Khem, Keng Harit Buayoi as Master Pharan, FirstOne Wannakorn Reungrat as Jet, Green Ausadaporn Siriwattanakul as Ramphueng, and Tle Matimun Sreeboonrueang as Chan - an ensemble that truly delivers.
What makes Khemjira a standout isn't just the story - it's how everything comes together. The cinematography is breathtaking, capturing rural Thailand in a way that's both eerie and poetic. Every frame feels intentional - the balance of light and shadow perfectly mirrors the show's tension between love and fear. The score by Jaithep Raroengjai heightens that tension with haunting melodies that cling to you long after the credits roll.
Namping and Keng's chemistry is magnetic - their connection feels lived-in, with just the right mix of tenderness and restraint. Green's portrayal of Ramphueng, meanwhile, adds depth and tragedy to the story; she embodies heartbreak so completely that it's hard not to empathise with her. And let's not forget the supporting cast
- FirstOne and Tle shine with natural warmth and humour that lighten the darker moments.
Domundi, best known for lighter BL fare, truly outdid themselves here. Khemjira is proof that they've grown beyond the usual tropes. The production quality is top-tier - lush visuals, strong direction, and top-notch special effects that rival major Thai horror films. Some episodes run nearly two hours long, but not once does it drag. Each chapter feels purposeful, carefully paced, and emotionally charged.
What sets Khemjira apart is its respect for Thai spirituality and culture. It treats shamanism, rituals, and folklore with authenticity and reverence - never as mere set dressing.
The supernatural horror is gripping, but it's the emotional storytelling and human relationships that truly keep you watching.
If you're looking for jump scares, you'll get them early on.
But if you stay for the story, you'll discover something richer
- a deeply emotional narrative about reincarnation, forgiveness, and the weight of karma. The final episodes may stumble slightly in pacing, but the journey is so beautifully crafted that it hardly matters.
In the end, Khemjira is nothing short of extraordinary - a genre-bending gem that blends horror, mystery, and love into something hauntingly poetic. It's the kind of series that stays with you long after it ends, a rare masterpiece that proves Thai BL can be both soulful and spine-tingling.
Simply put, Khemjira is Domundi's best work yet - a chilling, tender, and visually stunning triumph.

• “Where Human Meets Tide… and Love Wins”

⭐ “Lover Merman” – Review

“Lover Merman” ended today, and honestly? I didn’t expect a fantasy BL about a lonely human and a chaotic, stubborn merman to hit me right in the heart like this. What started as a light, slightly quirky romance suddenly grew into a story about belonging, sacrifice, and finding the one person who sees you beyond your broken edges. The chemistry between the leads was the core magic of this show — soft, playful, and surprisingly intimate, even when the plot was drifting into full mythical drama territory. And let’s be real: the underwater scenes were low-budget cute, but the acting carried everything. They sold every longing glance, every heartbreak, every moment of trust.

The final episodes tied things up with that mix of sweetness and ache that only fantasy romances can deliver. I loved how the show never forgot that being from “different worlds” wasn’t just a metaphor — it was the entire emotional weight of the story. The ending felt satisfying, warm, and honestly much more heartfelt than I expected. If you enjoy BLs with gentle romance, soft fantasy, and characters who grow because they finally find someone worth fighting for, “Lover Merman” is a small gem worth watching. It’s not perfect, but it’s charming, emotional, and leaves you with that quiet little glow in your chest.
