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 TOTALLY WORTH THE WAIT
When I saw the movie trailer for this series in may,l was like wow I totally needed to watch this, but because of my nationality and the fact that the only available place I could watch it on needs to be uploaded, l had to wait and I waited for three good months before I could watch it and am impressed.from the start to the finish I was enthralled, especially by khanin and Charan romance, they totally have THE chemistry, the other couples, ramil and paytai was hot and bdsm kinky while that of Calvin and Jay was soft an sweet, just so glad that they all made up in the end.although I would have loved to see more of ramilpaytai and jaycalvin relationship end up with a wedding ring like that of nincharans own, but for now am satisfied, not complaining at all.Still shocked as to how the evil villain turned out to be none other than prince wasin,was expecting it to be Mr green cobra but am not surprised.thought the grandfather would be alive to see the new changes and reform nin and his dad would bring so am still not happy he died before that at all, would have loved to rub it in his face but oh well!!.
All in all this series is one of my all time favorite after watching love in the air,we are, ever you and boy next world. looking forward to more amazing series from the producers but this series is a must watch, am so damned serious.and I gave it a ten so you all would understand how serious l am .

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.

love killers
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. He is absolutely nailing the role, delivering a nuanced performance that brings depth and relatability to his character. Joong's ability to embody Fadel's complex emotions and personal struggles has made him the highlight of every scene he's in. Together, Joong and Dunk have an undeniable chemistry that lights up the screen.
It's a masterful blend of stellar performances, striking visuals, and an emotionally charged story. Joong and Dunk's captivating chemistry, combined with the drama's artistic direction and compelling music, make it a must-watch for fans of the genre. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds and witness the further growth of these richly developed characters.

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.
