The year 2024 has been a rollercoaster, but it seems it's been saved by the compelling BL drama Heart Killers. After a long wait, it's refreshing to finally immerse myself in a drama that's as captivating as this one.Joong's portrayal of Fadel.

10/10 BEST LGBTQ WORK
This series... it literally blew me away. I completed it in just 2 days, more like 30 hours. It is so good, and tbh, I cant wait to watch it again with my friend on a pj party. this series will leave you awing and gushing and make u pause it just so you can properly shriek and aww at the dialogues by the actors.It surpassed all my expectations of an LGBTQ story. So normal, so cool... I was so happy to see such normal gay couples, there was no homophobia, no 'who thinks what' just normal pure love with usual ups and downs. It really made me happy to see couples from this community like normal couples. If all Thai dramas are like this, I think I am getting a new addiction. I never knew something like this even exist?!
This was like a cliche novel, but unfolding beautifully. When series or movies are made on books, I usually hate them because they don't do justice to the book. But this series? hats off, it was so good, i did not feel for a second that anything was rushed or just dragging on. Despite the whole cheerful mood of story, I cried too at one or two places because it was so good. Wonderful work. This is really a must for someone who wants to watch boy love. Man, I kept drooling the whole series. lol. The music in the series is also too good, I love music like the two leads do, so I am helluva happy that music is the bring-em-together factor here. A must watch. For Real.

10/10 Cute, Refreshing and lots of comedy!
love how it was written! Each characters on this show was given a background story in every episode. I like how it was not mainly focused on the main lead characters, but rather the other characters was also given a chance for their story-arch which contributes to the growth of the main lead couple.The story line was not cringy and awkward, which makes the actors extremely great for delivering their roles. I also love how every issue was tackled like it is happening in reality, such as the difficulty of Ongsa's coming out, the situation where Sun and Ongsa are gonna be on an LDR, the struggles of Alpha as the eldest child, the harsh and sad bullying story of Eylin, the family differences of Sun and Ongsa, the hopes of having an "accepting" parents of both Sun and Ongsa regarding their sexual preferences, and how to handle each other when you are in a relationship. And despite this taboo issues, the writers still manage to instill some comedic skits!
Not to mention the "right" background music and sounds which makes the comedy so funny and the romance that will surely makes you feel giddy and have butterflies in your stomach.
Overall, it's a-must watch Thai series!

10/10 very well developed plot
I just finished watching all the episodes and I am pleasantly surprised by the great performance of OHMFLUKE. The director and producer knew how to bring out the full potential of both.At first glance, it seems like a difficult story due to the added time constraint of the parallel world, but it was easier to understand when I saw it in the drama than in the novel.
The two main actors are really good at acting! !!
It's good to see it!
This drama is full of mysteries and questions, so it was fun to watch and think about each episode, and I want to talk to someone. I was excited to see the final episode!
Before the drama aired, it was advertised as "the first BL drama where you can choose the ending",
", but this drama
was "completed" by combining the two patterns of the final episode. I think it will be And I recommend watching them in the order Dream on Wake up in numerical order.
I think you can understand why the creator decided to make these two patterns.
OhmFluke, who played the same character in multiple worlds, and the actors around him had such incredible skill that I could empathize with the characters in any world, and I was lost in my emotions. OhmFluke became more stable as a couple and became sweeter and happier to see them together. They're a couple with a reputation for their acting ability, so l'd like to see more of their various works.

9/10 A Vampire Story With No Blood, Just Love
My Secret Vampire is honestly one of the cutest vampire BLs I've ever watched. The last one I saw was 1000 Years Old-the vampire there was also adorable and innocent, but that series dragged a bit, and his love interest was kind of a red flagWhat I love about KBLs (or K-dramas in general) is that mostly they manage to keep things light and fluffy without ever being boring. The acting isn't over the top, and the plot feels refreshing even if it's a limited budget series. Korea may still be conservative when it comes to BL, but they're definitely not being left behind-unlike the Philippines, lol!
Anyway, the romance between Jowon and Dong Ha doesn't feel rushed at all despite the short runtime. There's something so beautiful about how their relationship builds gradually-it just hits the spot perfectly.
The squad's chemistry is amazing too. The second couple's friends-to-lovers dynamic is super cute too and I love watching them bickers. My Secret Vampire isn't a hardcore vampire story, but that's exactly why I love it. It's soft, sweet, and comforting-sometimes we just need something lighthearted after watching darker shows and this series what exactly I needed.

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!

a Masterpiece
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.

10/10 Incredibly story with a happy ending
The way this young man took care of his much younger brother touched a cord with me as he reminded me so much of why I worshiped my own older brother. The story is heartwarming, heartbreaking and deals honestly with the difficulties in overcoming life's obstacles to find love.Wonderful. I bing watched it.
One of the things I liked about this series was the lack of toxic characters. Real life is challenging enough and the storyline is accurate and honest as so few dramas are. The complicated relationship between Yutaka and his family adds mystery and a touch of anxiety that is well resolved in the end adding just enough tension to season the storyline to perfection.

10/10 A Triumph for LGBTQ+ Repres
Mainstream media often overlook LGBTQ+ audiences or, worse, represent them poorly. Programs like The Only One remind us that we deserve stories that are respectful and engaging. This series is a beautiful example of how LGBTQ+ stories can be told with heart, without reducing them to stereotypes. It's a positive step towards more authentic, high-quality content for the community.The performances of Liu Dong Qin and Benjamin Tsang deserve special mention. Both actors bring incredible depth to their roles. Liu Dong Qin, his performance is vulnerable yet strong, creating a character that viewers can root for and identify with. Benjamin Tsang complements this perfectly, adding layers to his performance that make the onscreen relationship believable and impactful. The chemistry between the two is electric, and it is their performances that make the difference. The raw emotion they bring to their roles has made this series not only a visual delight, but a roller coaster of emotions.
The Only One not only explores a budding romantic relationship, but also addresses issues of self-discovery, family bonds and the challenges of dealing with societal expectations. It offers viewers a nuanced look at the characters' internal struggles, which makes their journey seem authentic and relatable. Although The Only One has a few episodes left to air, the run so far has been nothing short of exceptional. It's rare to find a series that manages to capture both emotional intensity and realistic storytelling within the BL genre, and this one delivers on both fronts. If the show maintains this level of quality through to the end, there is no doubt that we fans will demand a continuation of this story.

10/10 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 :)

9/10 Comfort Watch Alert
Boys in Love is another high school BL, but the plot feels fresh and different. Even though it's set in a school, it never comes off as cliché. It's such a feel-good, comforting series, every couple has amazing chemistry, and it's so cute that I find myself smiling in every episode.Shane is this serious, smart, and super organized guy, while Kit is playful, charming, and always smiling. You can tell Kit likes Shane, but Shane's a bit hesitant at first which makes their dynamic really interesting.
Kim and Mon
They're just too cute. They even kind of look alike! Both are bubbly and fun, and I love how they click. Their relationship does feel a bit rushed, but honestly, the instant attraction makes it believable.
Teachers Tan and Nat
They bring so much charm to the show. I especially love Tan, he's naturally funny and adorable. Nat is the more formal one, but that just makes him even more lovable. Their personalities balance each other out perfectly.
The color grading is bright and vibrant, giving off such a youthful vibe. Visually, it's beautiful, and the background music fits the mood so well, soothing and warm. The pacing is just right too, nothing feels slow or boring.
What I love most is that all the relationships in the series are healthy. There's clear communication, and even when misunderstandings happen, they're resolved quickly and maturely.
Overall, Boys in Love is a sweet, well-done series about friendship and young love. Definitely worth watching if you're into feel-good BL with great chemistry and good vibes all around.

10/10 A warm, sweet, and pure gay love story
This is my first time to write a review. This drama depicts two unrealistically adorable boys accidentally discovered their sexual-orientation and fell in love with each other, reminding people that how beautiful and pure a relationship could be. I am most impressed by how the two characters reconciled with their own identity and dealt with the social environment together. The Japanese-style respect and communications also makes this drama light-hearted and sincere. The fast pace of story-telling is perfect, though i would not mind spending more time watching these two innocent boys' interactions. This drama rebuilt my love and moral standards, after having witnessed so many ugliness in reality. I am grateful that i watched this. Love to Michieda, his action was impeccable.Was this review helpful to you?
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.
