Popular Serizawa Acts Weird around Me Episode 6
1 people found this review helpful
HIGENEKO Serizawa believed that the kiss had finally revealed his feelings, only for Suzuki to call it a mistake and ask him to forget it. After that, Suzuki avoids his eyes and barely speaks to him, leaving the usually confident Serizawa completely lost.The family-restaurant “class meeting” with their friends was hilarious. Everyone can clearly see that Serizawa is in love—except the one person he desperately wants to understand.Using Suzuki’s love of BL novels was Serizawa’s way of getting closer to a quiet and sensitive boy. Ironically, that approach may have made Suzuki believe that everything, including the kiss, was only part of Serizawa’s interest in BL.Serizawa’s feelings are obvious to everyone, yet they still cannot reach Suzuki. This misunderstanding is both frustrating and painfully sweet.

Niran finally seems to understand what is happening to him.Cheewa is everywhere — when he wakes up, when he leaves home, even when he gets on the bus. He knows Cheewa isn't actually there, but apparently his brain doesn't care anymore.He's already completely full of Cheewa.What I loved most about this episode was that Niran isn't simply attracted to him. He loves the strange little world inside Cheewa's head, and especially the words Cheewa chooses from all that knowledge just for him.So if Cheewa wants to look for aliens, Niran will go with him.If he wants to find ghosts, he'll go there too.And somewhere along the way, Niran's confusion has quietly turned into something much simpler:I want to stay beside you, and I want to protect you.Under a sky full of stars, that already feels very much like love.This series feels like a little extra piece of summer vacation that I wasn't ready to let go of yet.

The first two episodes immediately establish NOUR as something more than a conventional BL series. Its mysterious arson cases, supernatural elements, and dark atmosphere create a genuine crime-fantasy story, while the relationship between James and Ken develops naturally within the investigation.James is bold, persistent, and wonderfully unpredictable. Boss Patthakarn is a newcomer, but his slightly unpolished freshness suits the character perfectly. Opposite him, Tongtong Kitsakorn brings calmness and experience to the enigmatic Ken. Their contrasting energies make the pairing especially appealing: James keeps pushing forward, while Ken reveals almost nothing.The series comes from the team behind Top Form, and that quality can already be seen in its cinematography and careful storytelling. Even the quiet scenes—such as James teaching Ken how to use a smartphone—carry an unexpected warmth.After only two episodes, the mystery has completely captured my attention. This looks like a series worth paying to watch.

Hold on, Harutora-kun Episode 4
1 people found this review helpful
This was a surprisingly delicate episode.Harutora hesitates because he doesn't want to hurt Sui. It comes entirely from kindness, but from Sui's perspective, that hesitation can easily feel like rejection.And the timing couldn't be worse. Already feeling vulnerable, Sui then has to listen to his classmates casually making homophobic jokes. They probably don't even realize how hurtful their words are, which somehow makes the scene even more painful.I really liked how this episode showed that taking the next step in a relationship isn't simply about desire. There is fear, insecurity, consideration for your partner, and the need to feel accepted — especially for Sui, who has been hiding his wounds behind his cheerful “funny gay guy” persona.Harutora and Sui finally become lovers both emotionally and physically, but I think the harder part may begin from here: living in a dorm, dealing with friends at school, and eventually facing their families.A sensitive and beautifully handled episode.And Dai... I'm becoming pretty convinced that all that annoying attention he gives Sui means something. 👀

Soft, sweet, and surprisingly meaningful.Duang’s effort, Chin showing up for him, and that home invitation—this episode quietly pushes their relationship to the next level.

Yok tells Ing that their relationship is over. He closes his heart and tries to push Ing away. Yet whenever Ing is in front of him, he cannot take his eyes off him. He barely even blinks.That contradiction says more than words ever could.Meanwhile, Ing is heartbreakingly vulnerable beneath his proud and commanding exterior. He eagerly prepares himself for Yok's visit, choosing his clothes and accessories, unaware that the man he longs to see is coming to say goodbye.Ing is accustomed to being the one who protects, provides, and controls everything. But with Yok, he seems to have discovered the happiness of letting himself be vulnerable.Bank Artit and Copter Nuntapong deliver remarkably intimate, finely tuned performances. Bank allows Ing's loneliness and tenderness to emerge beneath his arrogance, while Copter reveals Yok's suppressed emotions through the smallest changes in his gaze and expression.Their chemistry is not simply about physical attraction. It is about two people whose feelings constantly contradict their decisions.Even after a month of silence, neither can truly let go. Ing tries to distract himself with someone new, but no one can replace Yok.Why does love continue to burn when both people are exhausted by it?Perhaps that is the cruelest mystery of love: the mind decides to walk away, but the heart refuses to follow.Watching these two hurt each other while still longing for one another is almost painful.And yet, I cannot look away either.

The Journey to Killing You Season 2 Episode 5
0 people found this review helpful
Episode 5 brings Kataoka and Odajima back into the dangerous world they thought they had left behind.As tensions between the rival factions escalate, Kataoka finds himself in a life-threatening situation. Once again, Odajima's instinct is to protect the man he loves, even if it means putting his own life at risk.What makes this episode particularly entertaining is the unexpected nature of the relationships behind the conflict. What initially appears to be a serious power struggle turns out to involve personal connections that go back much further than anyone might expect.The contrast between the dangerous atmosphere of the yakuza world and the surprisingly humorous developments is delightful.And through all the chaos, one thing remains unchanged: Odajima's unwavering love for Kataoka.With only one episode remaining, I'm curious to see how these complicated relationships will finally be resolved.A surprisingly funny and entertaining episode!

Episode 4 continues the story of two people who clearly care about each other but somehow manage to make everything unnecessarily complicated.Ao's feelings for Midori are so obvious that it's almost impossible to believe Midori hasn't noticed them. Yet Ao is terrified of the possibility that Midori might have a girlfriend, and gradually stops reaching out to him.What makes their relationship frustrating is that Ao seems completely unable to recognize how much his own feelings are showing.And Midori isn't helping matters either. A little honesty from either of them could make such a difference.Still, there is something sweet about their awkwardness. Their feelings are sincere, even if their communication skills leave much to be desired.But we're only four episodes into a ten-episode series.Are these two really going to keep us waiting for another six episodes? (LOL)

Oops! Mysterious Sounds Episode 3
0 people found this review helpful
I almost skipped this one. Nothing about it initially caught my attention, but I stumbled across it on iQIYI and ended up watching the first three episodes.At first, it looks like familiar territory: a university student secretly loves his best friend, then asks a rival to pretend to be his boyfriend. You think you know where this is going.Then the story takes a surprisingly serious turn through a BL actor’s real-life relationship, family rejection, and fans who only accept romance within his on-screen pairing. Revealing his actual boyfriend threatens not only his own career but his acting partner’s livelihood too. The fantasy being sold and the person living behind it are very different things.I also found the contrast between the actor’s glamorous screen romance and his ordinary, older boyfriend oddly convincing.And just when I thought I understood what kind of drama I was watching, it veered into a mystery. Where on earth is this going? lolIt’s a strange mixture, and I’m still unsure whether all these pieces will come together. But among so many familiar BL stories, occasionally you find one with a very unusual color. This seems to be one of those.Not an instant favorite, but it has made me curious enough to keep watching.

The school trip gives us the familiar fun of a school BL: lively friendships, budding romance, and worries about the future. But Ploy’s conversation with Jirapat adds an interesting twist.In the future Jirapat remembers, she becomes a successful lawyer. Knowing this, he reassures her that she will succeed no matter what she chooses. To him, it is simply encouragement. To Ploy, however, it becomes the push she needs to choose art instead.Wait—wasn’t that future already settled?I like how Jirapat’s second chance is changing his view of the people around him. The classmates he once found annoying turn out to be kind and fun when he approaches them differently. Now, his words may also be changing their futures.It makes me wonder how much he can still rely on what he remembers. A cheerful school trip, with something quietly unsettling underneath!

For a little while, Yock and In seem to be enjoying a sweet, peaceful time together. Yock cooks for In and takes care of him, and In falls deeper and deeper for him.In is proud and often arrogant, but beneath that confident exterior, I sense a deep loneliness. He lost his mother when he was young and later found himself without a place in his own family. Now that he has found someone precious to him, he wants the people around him to know.But the way In expresses his feelings is exactly what Yock does not want. Even as In tries to stop smoking because Yock is concerned about his health, I wonder if Yock realizes just how much In wants to be loved—and how desperately he wants Yock to stay.Yock has feelings of his own, but his inner conflict is still not entirely clear in this episode. Meanwhile, In is so caught up in Yock that he does not notice the danger slowly approaching his business.Their happy moments are lovely, but I cannot shake the feeling that something is about to break.

You Should Be the One to Kiss Me Episode 2

Ueno wants to celebrate Kanda’s success at work, but when he asks what Kanda would like, the answer is a hundred umaibo and some squid snacks. Kanda is so delightfully clueless!Meanwhile, Ueno spots a tie that he thinks would suit Kanda. It is such a small thing, but it reveals how often Kanda is on his mind—and how difficult it is for Ueno to express those feelings. Having lost a friend in the past after falling for him, he is understandably afraid to take a step forward.I also like how the two of them can be in the same elevator, thinking about each other, yet still have no idea what the other is feeling. They are so close, and yet there is still a distance between them.And I have to say, I love Oshida Gaku’s smile. It reminds me a little of Suneo from Doraemon! 😄日本語訳

Six years after En of Love: Love Mechanics, Yin and War are back together in this delightful police romantic comedy!The story begins with an absurd fortune-teller's prediction that forces two police officers into a six-month marriage. What could possibly go wrong? Apparently, everything! 😂Between their secret married life, undercover investigations, and unexpected dangers, Thiar and Mangkorn somehow find themselves falling in love.Thiar is charming, flirtatious, and rather hopeless when it comes to dealing with his own feelings. Mangkorn, on the other hand, is wonderfully sincere and gentle.I absolutely adore the way Mangkorn quietly surrounds Thiar with warmth and affection.And War! His expressions change so beautifully from moment to moment. He is simply adorable. Watching him is a joy in itself.When Mangkorn gets shot while protecting Thiar, the story takes a more emotional turn. Thiar begins to fear that his own bad luck might hurt the person who has become so precious to him.So what does he do? He tries to push Mangkorn away by bringing his ex-girlfriend back into the picture!Oh, Thiar... seriously? 😂What I love most about this series is its warmth. Even when things become complicated, there is something genuinely comforting about watching these two slowly discover their feelings.Every episode leaves me feeling happy.Sometimes, that is exactly what I want from a BL drama.Yin and War make this wonderfully silly, sweet, and heartwarming story such a pleasure to watch. 💕

Moss cannot resolve any of that, but his willingness to come matters.After the happiness of their morning together, the sudden news was painful. Yet what stayed with me was Moss reaching beyond his familiar boundaries and choosing to show up for someone he loves.
