An ideal and equal love to be normalized
Emphasizing on a social issue of sexual harassment against the mute and powerless, this series has proven to be a samaritan. Storyline very subtly conveys the injustice towards certain genders. Plot is simple and drives you through a satiating ending.I personally loved the locations, drone shots and frames of emotional scenes, coloring, consistent tone of the story, styling and art direction, elements of the advertising workspace. An episode stole my heart resembling a painting. Background score by P' Tommy is melodious. Net-James chemistry was good. James is an alluring man without doubt. P' Passin is a terrific actor with a skill to perfectly camouflage into character.
As the title suggests, the episodes contain a lot of clever sensuality. Every romantic scene has a distinct flavor. In concord with every body else, the trailer got me excited.
Despite all the above lines pointing at the reason I watched this series, it does not qualify for a re watch. Also the one objectionable quality of the scenes is the time lapse to react and respond. Editing team should have worked better.

10/10 BL Eclipse
I'm speechless... I have to admit that I wasn't too impressed at the beginning, but later it started to pick up and I couldn't wait for the next episode. Recently, GMM TV has been surprising with really high-quality BLs that carry a much bigger mission than just the love of two boys. The chemistry between Akk and Ayan was amazing. You can see that the boys really got into their roles, which was absolutely brilliant. I really liked the plots and denouements. Hell, who would have thought it would turn out like this? All the time we are convinced of one thing and suddenly we find out the other? Perfection. The story was also flawless. Full of twists and turns that would never occur to me personally. At many revelations, I stared at the screen with my mouth open because I simply refused to believe it. I definitely recommend it to all ten.Was this review helpful to you?

10/10 LOVE THIS!
I am not one for the rom/com at all, but this looked interesting and had to give it a go. I was hooked after the 1st episode. This show make me happy and laugh. Again, I'm the last one who would want to watch a rom/com but this is the best. The story lines and the actors are perfect. The length of the episodes is also a plus. I really hope that it is picked up for more seasons. We have to see how the succulents and Ryo continued on. "Love is not an energy drink!" I can't thank the creator of this show Keisuke Makino enough for making we want to believe in a rom/com show again! Please please more and more episodes!Was this review helpful to you?
10/10 Recipe for Chaos, Chemistry, and Culinary Love
Directed by Nui Suttasit Dechinthanarak, this 2024 Thai food romance series serves up eight deliciously chaotic episodes (46 minutes each) that blend sass, spice, and softhearted sweetness in perfect balance. At the center of this dish are Pon Thanapon as Plawan, a pad kaprao purist with a no-long-beans philosophy, and Sailub as Chef Oab, a perfectionist whose cold demeanor hides more than a few tender surprises. When Plawan takes a secret mission to seduce the intimidating chef and steal his spot at the top kitchen table... well, let's just say things start to simmerThe plot? ABSOLUTELY HILARIOUS. It's that classic hate-to-love flavor that never goes out of style - full of clashing egos, accidental tenderness, and "oh no, I caught feelings" moments. What begins as a revenge plan ends with Plawan and Oab falling into something real (and dangerously heart-fluttering). And let's not forget Benz as Methas and Garfield as JJ - the side couple who stole the entire kitchen! Their chemistry is pure serotonin; from reluctant partners to
"we're getting married" levels of adorable. Like... how dare they be that cute?!
The series looks as good as it feels - vibrant visuals, cozy restaurant lighting, and that mouthwatering food cinematography that'll make you crave Thai basil at midnight. F» The acting? Insanely natural. Watching Sailub and Pon together feels like witnessing two seasoned actors who've been married for three years already - the chemistry is just that believable. Add a well-paced storyline and perfectly timed humor, and you've got a dish that's equal parts emotional and entertaining.
By the end, you'll be grinning ear to ear as both main and side couples find happiness - no cliffhangers, no drama leftovers, just pure satisfaction. "This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans" is a delightful comfort watch for fans of romcoms with flavor, soft chaos, and genuine emotional payoffs.
A feast for both heart and stomach!

10/10 A Wholesome, Hilarious, and Heartfelt Rom-Com Masterpiece!
"A Boss and a Babe" is the kind of BL series that grabs your heart from the very first episode and doesn't let go. With a perfect mix of comedy, workplace romance, and emotional depth, this series is a breath of fresh air in the Thai BL world-and a must-watch for fans and newcomers alike.Force Jiratchapong and Book Kasidet absolutely shine as Gun and Cher. Their chemistry is undeniable-you can feel the spark in every glance, every teasing moment, and every emotionally vulnerable scene. Force plays the stoic yet secretly sweet boss to perfection, while Book's portrayal of the lively, honest intern Cher is equal parts hilarious and endearing. They balance each other so well that every scene between them feels both entertaining and meaningful.
What sets this series apart is how naturally it blends humor with heart. The dialogue is sharp, the comedic timing is spot-on, and the romantic build-up is slow-burn done right.
The show isn't afraid to explore themes like vulnerability, workplace dynamics, and emotional healing, all without losing its lighthearted tone.
The supporting cast adds even more flavor-each character feels real and well-developed, and the friendships are just as heartwarming as the romance. The soundtrack is catchy and perfectly chosen, and the visuals are soft, colorful, and aesthetically pleasing.
In short, A Boss and a Babe is a feel-good gem with incredible leads, a well-written story, and just the right amount of emotional pull. Force and Book are an iconic duo, and their natural chemistry makes this series unforgettable.
If you're looking for a BL that will make you laugh, swoon, and maybe even cry a little, this is it.

10/10 One of the best GL series ever!
For me, this is one of the best GL series that I have watched.I was impressed by their acting since Episode 1. Acting was raw and natural, no cringe or awkwardness between the characters. The lead actresses played the role very convincingly, and they've given 100% in the drama and intimate scenes. So, I really applaud them. Actingwise, it is very impressive performances from the leads (Sonya and Lookmhee).
Storyline, this is based on the same novel written by Chao Planoy. If you havent read the novel, you'll be shocked with all the twists and turns of the story.
The story tells of a genuine, solid love which could probably be very close to obsession. Of denial of feelings and later on choosing acceptance. It tells of realities that some people can unfortunately face.
1100% recommend this, sapphics or nonsapphics which have an open mind that love is not bound to a specific gender.
10/10 Yes, I have become a fan of this series. Turned obsessed at Ep 3. You can watch it on Youtube - Affair The Series Uncensored.

10/10 IT STARTED SO GOOD BUT...
Despite its low ratings, I immediately dove into "1000 Years Old" because I rarely let ratings dictate my viewing choices.This series tells the whimsical story of Pun, a goofy, unserious 900-year-old vampire, and Yoh, a student obsessed with aliens. Yoh's curiosity about Pun leads him to follow the vampire to a pork blood soup diner, eventually prompting him to move into the same apartment building.
While 1000 Years Old features a vampire, there's no need to brace for scares. This series is a lighthearted, funny, and at times silly watch with just a touch of drama. The humor often lands, and thankfully, the acting is not cringeworthy unlike some other vampire shows (yes, "OMG Vampire," I'm looking at you!). I particularly enjoyed witnessing the delightful friendship that blossomed between Pun, Yoh, Kaemsai, and Shin.
Honestly, this show could have been titled "HAIL PORK BLOOD SOUP" given its central role in the story, lol!
The acting is decent, not particularly compelling, but certainly not bad. However, the series suffers from a slow burn pace that could be frustrating for some.
Despite the pacing issues, 1000 Years Old managed to keep me engaged up until episode 8.
It was a pleasant surprise to realize that the director of this series also helmed "I Will Knock You" and "2gether the series." While "2gether" left me disappointed, "I Will Knock You" just satisfied me.
Character Insights
Pun:
Pun is a sweet, kind-hearted, and refreshingly innocent
900-year-old vampire. He boasts a messy but colorful room and a surprisingly fashionable style, a unique blend for a half-human, half-vampire. He's also the proud owner of a black cat. I found myself instantly drawn to his character, and it felt like the attraction between him and Yoh was mutual. Pun's past struggles centered on his inability to die, but after meeting Yoh and opening the pork blood soup business, he finally feels a sense of purpose. He's the only vampire I know who openly declares his vampirism to anyone, though, amusingly, no one ever believes him! For a vampire, he's incredibly calm and sweet, yet a voracious eater of pork blood. It makes you wonder what his livelihood was before the pork blood soup business.
Yoh:
Yoh is a university student with an alien obsession, shared by his group of friends. While he has a keen eye for detail, his character can be quite annoying, especially his nosiness when it comes to Pun. In the earlier episodes, he constantly devises ways to prove Pun is a vampire, from placing crucifixes on doors to giving Pun a bunch of garlic. His behavior often veers into stalker-like territory: wanting to see Pun at the diner, moving into his apartment, and even searching his name online. It's frustrating to watch him accuse Pun of killing people in the neighborhood one minute, only to barge into Pun's room to sleep the next. For a university student, Yoh comes across as surprisingly dim-witted. He seems oblivious to Pun's obvious flirting and advances, and inexplicably, he's unaware of the health benefits of eating pork blood. His younger sister, in contrast, appears far more sensible. Yoh even jeopardizes Pun by bringing him in to the police. He doesn't take anything seriously when it comes to Pun, pivoting from alien obsession to vampire obsession, and he shows little consideration for Pun's feelings, either playing ignorant or simply being plain stupid. The relationship between Pun and Yoh often felt shallow to me, with Pun clearly more invested and Yoh failing to reciprocate his energy. Yoh's character almost made me give up on the series entirely.
Observations:
I found myself pondering a few things:
* How does a 900-year-old vampire know so little about vampires, their dangers to humans, or even how to ride a train?
* The series started to drag significantly around episode 8. It would have benefited from fewer episodes, focusing only on the crucial scenes. It felt as though the story was stretched merely to fill all 12 episodes.
* Yoh's continued testing of Pun, despite already believing he's a vampire, made little sense, especially with Pun passively allowing it.
* Yoh's inability to express himself clearly was also incredibly annoying and contributed to the slow pace of the show.
* How come the vampires' wedding was held in a Catholic church?
* While the series started strong, the writing became noticeably duller as it progressed into the later episodes.
* The twist at the end turns out to be interesting as it explores reincarnation.
On a positive note, the cinematography and production value were excellent. The vibrant and colorful environment perfectly complemented the overall mood of the series.
Don't go into 1000 Years Old expecting anything spicy; it's from the same director as "2gether" and "I Will Knock You," after all!
At its core, 1000 Years Old offers a bit of everything - romance, friendship, and of course, vampire antics. The overarching lesson to be learned is one of perseverance and following your heart's desires, alongside a celebration of the deep friendships formed between the characters.

10/10 A perfect BL from a straight's view
The best BL i have seen till now. The main couple has perfect chemistry, they are not feminine (an off for me) with excellent acting skills. They start their relationship as a teacher student in the erotic field but we watch it to transform little by little to a love relationship. Oh my... their scenes are so hot and not leave much to fantasy. After every episode you need time to cooldown from the heat.The plot shows so nice their journey. It has humor, passion, a mature young fellow at 21 years old and an afraid for his real feelings 26 years old and the journey till their HEA.
Fortunately you don't get tired of the length of the series.
The other couples try their best but can't say have the same energy or affect to me so l had them in forward. (but that didn't change my overall opinion on the series).
A must view.

10/10 | Dove In With Low Expectations - But It Knocks Me Out
I honestly didn't expect to enjoy this series at first, since I'm not usually into sports-themed dramas - but the first episode hooked me right away. It was intense, fast-paced, and way beyond what l expected. Every scene kept me glued. Not a single dull moment.Knock Out isn't your typical light, feel-good watch. It dives into violence, injustice, and betrayal. Thun starts off as a hard character to connect with - he's clearly burdened by emotional scars from his past. Meanwhile, Keen's father died in a painful way and Ken struggles financially, which makes his character miserable. But somehow, despite their circumstances, they find comfort and safety in each other.
Their bond feels electric. There's a magnetic pull between them that's impossible to ignore. And let's be real - the sexual tension is off the charts, and the NC scenes?
Absolutely scorching.
The side couple has wonderful chemistry too, but there's barely any relationship build-up and no backstory- they pretty much just hook up out of nowhere.
This is the kind of series where the villain gets under your skin in a superlative form- the type that attacks in sneaky, underhanded ways. From the start, I already knew that man was never up to any good and I found myself pausing the screen several times because the action and thrill had me oi edge.
The pacing is fast, but not messy - it's packed with twists and turns that keep you engaged. The cast did an amazing job, even the antagonists delivered strong performances.
The cinematography is gorgeous, and the soundtrack is perfectly matched to every scene.
Don't let the negative reviews sway you. Watch a few episodes first and judge it for yourself - especially if you enjoy darker BLs with action and depth.
Overall, Knock Out is a gripping blend of sports, action, and romance. It's polished, intense, and backed by solid character development. Definitely worth the watch.

Horny Lovely Boys
At first glance, this story might seem a little bit repulsive to follow. Specifically after the audience saw that two of the main characters seemed to have a questionable attitude.One of them being a coward who ran away from his problems at home, while the other seemed like to sleep around. But if you pushed through the first few episodes, you'll see that it's not the case. I think the writer wants to make the audience jump into the wrong conclusion to make them realize how society's prejudice can harm innocent people's reputation. This series is actually thick with family and friendship dramas. With of course, BL romance as its main ingredient.
