Fair warning this will be a long review....

BL drama with many couples again, with Force - Book, and at first Perth - Chimon becoming 2 of them… At first a little disappointed Chimon got replaced, yet curious with the new pair of Perth (Santa). But by the end of their story, I’m glad Chimon got replaced by Santa, cause Santa is a lot more fit with the role of Gun than Chimon, and Santa’s chemistry with Perth is also more perfect than Perth-Chimon. Anyhow… Let’s talk drama… Oh and anyway, this is gonna be a long review. So, prepare urself to read it… Haha…

Story about a group of Perfect 10 Liners & its members. This group got its name because from the first generation, the members are charming & perfect in their own way. And all the members are a group of mentors and their mentees.

This story starts from the time Arm joins the group and continues for 3 generations after him as our other couple. Arm and Arc as the first generation & couple, Yotha & Gun as second generation & couple, and the last is Faifa & Wine as third generation & couple.

1st couple, Arm and Arc.
Arc at the time Arm joins the group is already in his 3rd year, his peer mentee is Pun, who later be Arm’s mentor. So that’s the brief introduction about Arc and Arm relationship in the group. Arc is one stiff man that doesn’t like small talk. Arc's first problem with Arm started when Arm posted Arc photo on the Engineer Cute Boy page. Arm doesn’t know that Arc doesn’t like his photo being posted online. Arc harsh words toward the admin of the page made Arm furious.

But on the other hand, it turns out Arc gets attracted to Arm. Without knowing that Arm is one of the admin of the page, Arc makes his move toward Arm. But because Arc doesn't know how to treat Arm special, Arc instead acts more harsh toward Arm. You know the kind of guy that likes to treat the girl they like harshly, yeah Arc is exactly like that.

But fortunately for Arc, Arm is an easy going person. Although at first he is pissed by Arc, but as the senior in the university & group, Arm can’t do much toward Arc.

One day, Arc and Arm got into an accident, and that's happening because of Arc, so feeling guilty & the protective instinct started to kick in, Arc started to treat Arm better than before. And that different attitude makes a lot of difference for Arm. So, how will their story progress after this…

The side couple, Pond and Sand
Pond is Arc’s friend while Sand is Arm’s friend & roomate. They met on the soccer field where Pond & Arc were playing. Pond falls at the first sight with Sand, while Sand is a little slow, but he sure did feel something different too about Pond.

2nd couple, Yotha & Gun. Yotha is a grumpy guy, while Gun is a cheerful guy. When the time to take draw to choose a mentor, Yotha gets Arm as his mentor, which makes him become part of Perfect 10 Liners.

Yotha got into university together with his brother, Faifa. They all met because they all lived in the same building & their rooms exactly above each other and by accident Gun & his roomate, Kong, went to the wrong floor.

But what makes Gun really take notice of Yotha is when the next day, Gun got his bad luck by having water spray on him because of a broken bathroom faucet, and the one that help him is Yotha.

Gun can't sleep in the dark due to an unfortunate childhood incident. But that night, suddenly the light in Gun's room went off. Terrified by the fact, Gun fleet to Yotha’s room & slept on his bed, because Yotha is not in the room & he said that he'll sleep outside that night. But when Yotha comes back, he finds Gun having a nightmare, because the room is a little dark. With the agreement between Gun, Yotha & Faifa, finally Gun still slept in their room with lights on.

The next day everything went normal. But Gun turned out to have another problem with Kong, because Kong can't be sleeping with the lights on. Yotha, however, has no such issue, and he also rarely returns to the dorm at night. So Faifa made a one-sided decision to switch rooms with Gun, and that made Yotha & Gun as roommates.

The closer interaction between Yotha & Gun, made Gun see the other side of Yotha. And Yotha is also mesmerized by little attention that Gun does for him. The only problem with their relationship is the fact that Yotha has a bad impression of love, his parents are divorce & his first relationship failed, making Yotha a little traumatized to start another relationship. So, how their relationship started…

The side couple: Warit & Klao
Warit is Yotha’s ex-boyfriend & also Yotha brother's friend / business partner. Warit & Yotha break up because after trying to be in the relationship, Warit feels what he felt toward Yotha is not love, but more of brotherly. So, at first we often see Klao had a clash with Yotha regarding his jealousy of Warit still talking to his ex. But slowly he begins to understand & accept that Warit & Yotha relationship is really only brothers, without any other feelings attached.

3rd couple, Faifa & Wine.
We get to see Faifa & Wine from the previous story. They encounter each other a lot. At that time Wine was still in 12th grade high school, but he visited or walked past the university a lot, so purposely or not Faifa often bumped into Wine.

By the time Wine finally entered university, he got to be Yotha mantee, which put him into the perfect 10 liner group. As an introverted person, Wine doesn't like the spotlight as part of the perfect 10 liner group. But as part of the group, it gives Faifa reason to be close with Wine, cause the fact is Yotha often left Wine behind to take care of Gun & when that happens Faifa will sweep in Yotha position as Wine mentor to take care of Wine.

Being close to Faifa, Wine is quite shocked at how social butterfly he is. Faifa is a kind of person that is good to everyone & that makes a lot of people misunderstood his kindness. And in this part of the story, we often hear Yotha say he's worried for Faifa & we finally quite understand it.

Wine on the other hand, just went through a break up with his high school girlfriend. He's the one who initiated the break up, cause he realized that he fell for his GF’s brother. & At the time in the university, Wine still hides the fact that he's gay.

Faifa is really curious about Wine, because he feels Wine changes. When Faifa met Wine back then, he felt Wine was more cheerful than today. And one day Faifa finally learns that Wine just went through a break up & the fact that he falls for his ex GF’s brother. The kind hearted Faifa offers help to Wine, by giving him a lesson to help Wine win the heart of his crush. But slowly but surely, their closeness makes Faifa feel something more. In the end they just teach each other love beyond what they’ve expected.

That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ As usual the chemistry between Force-Book never amiss
+ The outstanding chemistry between Perth-Santa.
+ Interesting story about breaking past trauma.
+ How interesting they put the line of the couple. First with Force-Book, the couple we are already familiar with. 2nd, Perth-Santa, the new couple that makes everyone buzz about. And close with the 3rd, Faifa-Wine, an ordinary couple that makes us familiar with their relationship.
+ The side couples are quite interesting. Especially the story of Warit & Klao.

What I don’t like:
- The silly decision to make Junior Panachai Sriariyarungruang as Faifa or vice versa, which makes him as Perth’s younger brother. Cause the fact Junior is much older than Perth & we can quite see it. Haha…
- The cringe different attitude from Faifa after they’re in a relationship. That clinginess makes me cringe a lot….
- All the couples are a little too clingy with their partner…
- The freaking long episode. Haha… I feel 8 ep per couple is a little bit too much. Sometimes they like stretching the duration to fulfill the slot.
- Some actors a little bit too old for the cast, like Force-Book & Junior-Mark. Please give them more appropriate role for their age... Some others also like having repeated character over and over. I mean like Poon Mitpakdee, I feel he always get a little bit silly character.

Overall this is quite an interesting drama to watch. Will I re-watch this? Maybe some episodes, but definitely not all from beginning to end…

Another Boss & Noeul drama... Let's watch it...

Story about Phukan (Phu) & Cirrus (Cir). Phu is a pure, naive & kind hearted man that never dated anyone. Because he's quite a naive guy, all of his friend & family quite protective of him. So, yeah Phu is another character with full support system around him.

Cir, on the other hand, is a rich son of a powerful woman. But Cir's mom is having iron fist not only at her company, but also in her way to raise Cir. Cir's parent were divorce, and Cir's mom had love but also grudge against his dad, so Cir's mom raising Cir with a way to take control Cir's life & that's one of the way Cir's mom had her revenge against his dad.(Yeah that's sicko kind of thinking). Cir had one deal with his mom, to let him roam free until he's graduating from collage, after that Cir's life basically belong to his mom, Cir's mom always said Cir's as her property. So, taking advantage of the deal, Cir enroll to the same university with Phu & choose to live in Phu's apartment building too...

Our story started when one day Cir, a handsome senior suddenly walks into Phu's life. Cir is a famous senior at their university. Cir handsomeness yet cold deminer attract a lot of girls. Cir told Phu he's his boyfriend from a parallel world and that's he's the most important person in his life. Although at first Phu don't want to believe Cir words, but Cir tells Phu a lot about his personal stuff & habit that quite impossible for other person except the closest one of him know, like Cir could know that Phu had birthmark at the place that usually cover with clothes.

Slowly Phu start to accepting Cir in his life & getting used having Cir around him & of course Phu's feeling for Cir start to grow too. But deep inside, Phu also start having inner fight with himself. Cause he's always remember that Cir is not Cir but he's from another world that already had boyfriend. So, the first problem is Phu don't know if he's just another replacement of Phu from Cir's world or Cir's feeling for him is genuine from his heart. And 2nd problem, Phu feels guilty cause he feel he took Cir from Phu in Cir's original world.

On the other hand, soon we learn, Cir is actually not from parallel world. But he's actually from the same parallel world with Phu and already had feelings for him since middle school. One day Cir got into accident, Cir walk into his parallel state of mind, it like a white room in your mind... In there Cir actually really meet another Cir from another world (to make you not confuse, I'll said our Cir using White Cir, cause he wear white, & another Cir as Black Cir, cause he's wearing black). White Cir watch how Black Cir is having relationship with Phu & how happy Black Cir in that picture. White Cir wants that to be his reality too. So when he got back to his body, he just lie to Phu about everything & just said that's he's from another world & Phu is his boyfriend.

But our story still rolling with Cir started to rebel against his mom, because he doesn't want to lose Phu in his life. So, the crazy idea comes to their mind, to make Phu pretend as Cir's boyfriend. So, the question now is how Phu put his feeling in all of this...? Will he find out that Cir is lie to him regarding him from parallel world or will Cir just confess to Phu? And also how about Cir's mom, will she just stand still when she find out that Cir's having relationship with Phu...? And lastly... What the heck is actually that parallel state of mind...?

That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Interesting concept of story. But as usual with Mame, a little bit toxic. It's like she can't write a story without any toxicity in it. Haha...
+ Boss and Noeul chemistry never disappoint me.
+ How to correctly create Naive & Pure character without the need to make him like 5-year old boy.
+ Friends around Cir & Phu
+ I got to see Boss in Payu's style. Haha...
+ I got to see Thorn, although actually I prefer to see Tharn. Such a shame. Hoho...
+ The cute relationship between Wim & Jin. Although it feels a little unfinished too...

One biggest stupidity:
- They never tell us how powerful or rich Cir's mother actually is. I really want to know this.... Cir seem so afraid about his mother, but come on you're an adult. Can't you break free from your mother's wing...

Well overall this really one interesting story concept, parallel world but not quite parallel world too. But with Mame really toxicity is unavoidable. Now I think I need to read the books. Haha...

Below I’ll write what I don’t like & that’s quite a big spoiler. So… Read it at your own risk...









==================================================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================================================
What I don’t like:
- This feels like unfinished story. This is the biggest reason why I lower the score. I mean the story between Cir & his mom & his brother. Oh come on... Can't you add a few more episode to conclude this. How can they just leave Ozone in his mother's mercy...?
- I really hope we get more screen time for Wim & Jin.
- We got no more clear explanation about that parallel state of mind. Why must happen to Cir...? Is everyone actually can experience it...? Yeah yeah I know this is not a science-fiction drama...

Another with many couples in 1 BL dramas. At first I’m not really interested in this one, especially none of the main cast, except Earth I know of. But with a lot of YT clips, it eventually made me give in & click watch. Haha…

Story about 4 friends; Hill, Johan (Jo), Tonfah (Fah), Arthit (Thit) & their couples. 4 of them are the idols of the medicine department in their school, their good looks, rich & smart are the complete package for everyone. And each of them with their own characteristics make their groups stand out among their peers.

This drama however, only talks about 2 couples first. And this is the exact reason I lower the score...

Hill-Easter.
Easter intentionally attends a university in the north of Thailand. He hopes to find a new place to erase the memories of his ex-relationship, which ended unclearly. But in this place by surprise Easter still meets Hill, his ex-relationship. Meeting again in the university, Hill begins to chase Easter again. The purpose is to restart the relationship and erase all the misunderstandings about their previous relationship. So, how does Easter feel about all this? Because their previous encounter not only affected him, but also his family.

Jo-North
At the same time, Easter’s roommate, North, also faces chaos. One day, North was drunk and caused a quarrel, then woke up with the debt. North owed the debt to no other than the university senior, Johan. Being the richest among 4 of them, Jo never really cared about the debt North owed him. From the first we can see how Jo really likes to tease North about his debt. So the question is, why does Jo want to go through all the trouble of paying all the damage caused by drunken North…? What's their story…?

That's pretty much the story without giving any spoilers. Now what I like and don’t.

What I like:
+ I like all the chemistry between all the 2 couples. For me they quite fit the description in the books.
+ Nothing too much or over the top. In the book, some scenes are more mature than in the drama.
+ I like how they put their background story in the end, not between the storyline.
+ The ending... Quite a good intro into the 3rd story. About Tonfah (Fah) & Typhoon. Just prepare your tissue for their story. Read the book itself already cried myself out. Haha...

What I don't like:
- Some Hill-Easter stories/scenes feel rushed and don't make sense. Like when Hill asks to talk with Easter after Easter being teased with the group. The timing felt odd, like why Hill needed to do the talk at that time…

In the end I’m quite happy, even obsessed with this drama. The one that disappointed me the most, is the promise this is about 4 couples, but at the end it’s only the 1st half or 1st 2 couples of the total 4 couples that’s aired. And that disappointment led me to read their books & I’m quite obsessed too with the books & now I really can’t wait for the last 2 couples to be on my screen.

Just like the title Not Me..

Seeing so many (+) score/review for this drama, my review will be on the negative scale. Haha... Who like it...? Just like the title Not Me. Haha... For me this drama have so many weird stuff going on that no sit right with me.

As usual the safe or (+) point first
+ Gun Atthaphan Phunsawat. I can see the diff between Black & White character. He acted good to make us easily distinguish between Black & White
+ The story of Yok & UNAR. I feel their story more neatly than the story of White and Sean. And I quite like the chemistry between First Kanaphan Puitrakul & Fluke Gawin Caskey.
+ The interesting, but unreal, connection between twin. Haha... Yeah we always fantasies twin have this crazy connection, like Black & White. They can sense each other, feel each other feeling. And Black & White just bring us the extreme case of twin connection.

Overall this one crazy drama on my list.... And down below is the weird stuff going on that no sit right with me. With SPOILER ALERT!!! So read with ur own risk!











================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
================================

The plot hole:
- The biggest issue for me... The BIG problem never really addressed properly. Is it about big figure, in this case Tawi, monopolize economy & corruption everywhere. Or about drug. Or about how he just above the law & acting arbitrarily toward everything. What is the biggest issue that our gang actually want to fix...? I don’t get it. It's true what Black & White mom said, if not Tawi someone gonna replace him & nothing gonna change. So what our gang actually gonna fix...? What all the protest about...? In the end nothing really change or at least they don't show us what change. Not even Tawi himself in the end we can see step down from being the num 1 man in business. NOTHING F*CKING CHANGE!!! So what's this drama about to begin with...?
- The second biggest for me the relationship between Black | White and Sean itself. It just feel so weird. One moment they still bickering with each other, maybe just start being friends with each other, and suddenly BUM they start kissing & have s*x. I just thought 'what the F*'. No i don't feel they have feeling for each other prior, no gaze what so ever that indicates everything going to be different. That's just the setting & the director just decided it's time to bring them together & to make it even worse, after that they can't even live without each other.
- Black & White so f*cking diff but no one said anything about it. They feel it, they know it, but NO ONE SAID ANYTHING!!! If u have a friend that change so much until feel like diff person, won't you said something to them, even just only ur suspicion, they convince you nothing diff or not that's other case. This even worse... They'll gonna do something dangerous together, with the friend that already changing, and still NO ONE SAID F*CKING ANYTHING. If me... I won't trust someone that change so drastically over night to do something that dangerous and important with me...
- Who is Black...? Why he seems so irritated and angry with the world? What his story...? Why he became who he is, right at the moment we get to see him...? What injustice he received until he feel he need to do something to changing it...? I need background story of Black.
- Who the old man that show up in the end of the drama. Is he the real BIG BOSS in the shadow? Through out the drama, I feel Tawi is not the Big boss. Tawi more like some face that someone put in the front to take the bullet.
- Who is Tod? What important role did he had behind the curtain...? That's never bring to light to us.
- Our gang break the law but never get consequences, just because they're the main lead or in the drama because people demanded it. What White and his friend did already break the law, not just minor mischief, but they're just never get consequences. Yeah yeah just a few time get shot. This can teach bad things in wrong mind. People can do bad stuff, but that's ok if many people think they did the right thing...

Watch this cause they said this a story link to Ancient Love Poetry & this also starring Bai Lu & Ao Rui Peng. But after watching I can say this has nothing to do with ALP, in my opinion this is not even in the same universe with it. So whoever wants to link this with ALP, in my opinion better forget it & just see this as a separate drama within its own universe.

Anyhow…

This is a story about Bai Shuo (BS) & Fan Yue (FY). Bs is a human’s race who was saved by a god when she's a child. This event led to BS’s obsession with cultivation & goddesses. At the current time, god has already disappeared, so BS only can gather a little about goddesses. But with her position as mayor's daughters, she still gathered quite a lot about goddesses.

FY on the other hand is a demon king, master of the bright moon palace. BS started harassing FY cause she thinks FY is god & can help her with cultivation. But by accident, BS absorbs the desireless stone. Originally the desireless stone was to help FY with his illness, but FY himself still didn't know how to activate it. But since BS had already absorbed the stone, now she needs to put 5 emotions into the stone; kindness, kill, love, hate & greed. How to…? The stone will give clues to BS by giving her vision.

So, with that BS’s journey accompanied by FS & his 2 right-hand men to collect the emotions begins. And with every journey, their trust, understanding, and feelings for each other also grow into something more. And by the end of their journey, BS & FY also learn about their past selves, who they were before they're reincarnated into themselves now.

Since this is still Xian Xia or Xuanhuan, what tragic story is actually hidden behind all that CGI. Haha… well, you need to watch this urself then. Hohoho…. That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ The chemistry between Bai Lu & Ao Rui Peng is not so bad. I can imagine them as couples..
+ Interesting story & great CGI
+ How everybody in the end connected with each other. That's really interesting.
+ How they really separated BS & FY with their past selves. This is a really interesting aspect.

What I don't like:
- I really hope this somehow connected with ALP, like how The Last Immortal. But this turned out to be such a big disappointment in that aspect.

Overall this quite good drama to watch.

A little bit too good to be true

If the summary doesn't state this adapted from the true story I'll not gonna believe this could happen in real life. At least not in my country. Haha...

One hella cooperation from policemen to doctors to flight crew members to the flight passengers make the mission possible. We life in the world that, full of chaos and fraud and all the bad thing happen in the world today, make we think sometimes good heart or humanity is like missing from the picture. But when you watch this act of contribution between people we still can believe that humanity still alive in human heart.

Watch this just to heal your heart. Relax and believe that human basicly good & helpful.

3rd story

Finally our Fourever You project continues… And this is the first series of the 3 set drama this season has.

This series tells the story of Tonfah (Fah) & Typhoon (Phoon).

Typhoon is a young man who grows up feeling unwanted and alone. He is rejected and emotionally neglected by his parents—especially his father, who is also abusive toward him. Later, Phoon discovers the reason behind it: he is not his mother’s biological son, but the result of his father’s affair with another woman.

The only warmth in his childhood came from two people: his older sister, who loved him unconditionally, and Tonfah, who became his refuge and quiet protector. However, Fah and his family eventually move away, and Phoon loses contact with him. His life falls apart even further with the tragic death of his sister.

Years later, now a university student, Phoon reunites with Fah, who remains the same gentle and kind person just like old time. But under pressure from his father—who fears the truth about Phoon will damage their family’s image—Phoon once again distances himself from Fah. He pushes away the one person he truly wants to hold close.

At university, Phoon also meets new friends who gradually become his quiet support system. Through their everyday presence and concern, they give Phoon a sense of safety and belonging, helping him navigate life without pressure or judgment. With their support, he slowly finds the courage to confront his own feelings.

Encouraged by one of them, he makes a fragile, brave choice: He starts sending letters and small gifts to Fah… unsigned. Fah receives them with quiet wonder. He doesn’t know who they’re from—but they touch him deeply. Somehow, the words and attention feel different from anything he has received before. These letters and gifts become Phoon’s way of expressing his care and quietly maintaining their connection.

Since two of their friends are dating each other, Phoon and Fah begin meeting and spending time together more often. Although Fah is initially hurt by Phoon’s sudden withdrawal, he still finds himself missing his “little brother.” In the end, Fah just accept that Phoon had his own reasons for keeping his distance.

So, the question now…
? Will Fah eventually discover who sent the letters and the small gifts—or will Phoon find the courage to confess before the truth reveals itself?
? When Fah finds out, how will he react—will he be happy, or merely surprised…
? How will Phoon’s father respond to Phoon’s renewed relationship with Fah…
? And will their relationship eventually move beyond being just brothers…

That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Tonfah & Typhoon quite like the book. Bver and Tonliew portray them beautifully.

What I don't like
- There're some scenes that I hope follow the book more closely. Especially the scene with Phoon’s dad. Haha… He deserves more punch than just North’s punch. Haha…
- There’s a certain tension between Bver and Tonliew that’s hard to put into words and unfortunately it's not the great chemistry between them… Especially from Tonliew...
- I don’t really like the style of the other couples this season, especially my Bass. I don’t like to see his bangs split. Haha… It's just my preference…
- Somehow the vibe of this series feels lonely… More lonely than the first season. Maybe they cut some budget for the Japan trips… Haha…

Overall I'm happy to watch this one. Can't wait for the next story of my 2nd favorite couples, Arthit & Daotok, next week…

Quite curious about this. Let’s watch…

The story centers on two elite professional dancers who represent opposite worlds of dance. Shinya Suzuki (Suzuki) is the reigning Japanese champion of Latin dance—passionate, raw, and instinctive. Shinya Sugiki (Sugiki) is the Japanese champion and world number two in Standard (ballroom) dance—elegant, disciplined, and stoic.

Despite their rivalry, Sugiki one day proposes that they train each other to compete in the 10 Dance, a grueling competition that requires mastery of all ten disciplines (five Latin and five Standard).

Suzuki scoffs at first. He wants nothing to do with it. But Sugiki knows how to push his buttons. With a sharp, almost provocative attitude, he challenges Suzuki’s lack of ambition on the global stage—questioning whether he’s truly serious or just stuck in the spotlight of national fame. The challenge strikes a nerve and ignites Suzuki’s fierce competitive spirit.

And so begins grueling training—long hours, clashing styles, relentless tension. But as their bodies learn to move in sync, something shifts. The friction isn’t just professional anymore. It becomes electric—physical, emotional, undeniable.

So, will this intense connection grow into something more?
Or in the end, will they remain only rivals—dancing close, but never truly together?

That's pretty much the story without giving anymore spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ The intense dancing… Haha…
+ The chemistry between the couples…

What I don’t like:
- The ending… Ugh… I hate the ending
- The unclear relationship between them. Like Wing3dBean wrote; everything feels unfinished.

Overall, after watching this, I prefer this more in a drama setting. So we have more time to develop their relationship to the fullest.

Finally this aired. Let's watch…

The story of Arisu and Usagi continues…

After finally returning to the real world, the two got married and began living a quiet, peaceful life—completely forgetting their time in Alice Town.

But that peace doesn’t last long. One day, Usagi mysteriously disappears, drawn back into Alice Town under the influence of Ryuji, a researcher obsessed with uncovering the secrets of the afterlife. Determined to bring her back, Arisu follows her back into Alice Town.

As Arisu re-enters Alice Town, he confronts a sequence of life-threatening games. When they progress through the first game, his memory of his time there also returns.

This season introduces the Joker cards, and the games become even more brutal and mentally taxing. The players face new deadly challenges, complex rules, and moral dilemmas that push them to their limits.

This season they introduce Joker cards & the games itself become more brutal and mentally taxing. The players face new deadly games, more complex rules, and moral dilemmas.

So Arisu is once more forced to strategize not just for survival, but for rescue and sacrifice.

Now the questions:
? Will Arisu finally find and reunite with Usagi…
? Will they make it out of Alice Town alive—again
And the biggest question of all…
? Who is the Joker?

That's pretty much the story without giving spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ As usual the game itself quite intriguing to say the least. The effects not bad too...

What I don't like:
- Well this season feels unnecessary. But maybe for some people this is a need for closure.
- I kinda hope I can see the character from season 1 & 2 to re-join the game in this season. But instead they introduced new member
- Don't like the ending. The way Netflix messed this up… Like Squids Game or Money Heist

Overall I'm just happy I can put this as the title in my Alphabet challenge. Haha…

hm...

It’s not so often that we see Thai BL dramas switching up couples so frequently. So, it was quite a surprise for me to see Pond Ponlawit Ketprapakorn with a new partner, while his partnership with Earth (Cooheart) in Fourever You hasn’t even wrapped up yet. I know that series is still pending, waiting for a second season—and of course, I know Pond has every right to take on other projects. I’m not protesting, don’t get me wrong—I’m happy for him. I just found it unexpected—since it’s not the norm in the Thai BL drama world.

Because I’m a little impatient, I decided to start reading the novel. Thank goodness someone uploaded the entire book on Wattpad. To my surprise, they changed some key elements from the book for the drama adaptation—and those changes actually alters the overall tone of the story

Let’s discuss drama…

The story follows Armin Thiwanon, a renowned actor who tragically dies on the night of his greatest triumph—just after winning a prestigious award and discovering his long-time partner’s betrayal.

Instead of death, Armin wakes up 26 years in the past, back when he was a struggling, unknown performer in his early 20s. Once again, he must walk the path to superstardom

In this altered timeline, he meets Thada, a mysterious man who suddenly befriends him. Unbeknownst to Armin, Thada is the one who paves the way for his success. With Thada’s help, Armin’s rise to fame happens much faster this time.

As their bond deepens, Armin eventually discovers a shocking truth: Thada is actually TD—the mysterious, devoted fan from his past life. That revelation changes everything. The feelings Armin once thought were gratitude begin to shift into something deeper.

But amidst all these changes in his second chance at life, one question remains…
Who was responsible for Armin’s death in his past life? And are they still causing trouble for Armin in this life?

That's pretty much the story without giving more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Seeing the possibility for Thai actors to change ships in the middle of an unfinished drama series…

What I don’t like:
- Although everyone seems to like Pond & Peterpan chemistry, for me it is a NO go. They don’t sell it for me. I still prefer Pond & Earth in Fourever You.
- Everything must add a BL element… It’s too much forcing the vibe… In the book Janine is a woman & more importantly, she’s married with kids. So why the drama needed to change her gender into male, even added a little bit of a romance vibe with Veynai. I really don’t understand it…
- For me Peterpan can’t sell me Thada character. He’s good, but he’s not Thada.

Overall this is an ok drama for 2nd chance. Forgettable in my book. But still a fun watch. Much prefer the book than the drama

Now the difference between drama and the book… Fair warning though, I’ll write with spoilers. So if you don’t wanna know, you can stop reading here.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================










The different from the book:
* They take the mystery around Armin’s death more seriously. In the book is strictly just the beginning of the story. And this is the primary reason that changes the tone of the story. The book is just about how Armin took better chance in his 2nd life, not surrounding the mystery of his death.
* Phat & his mother, Armin’s friend who is never mentioned in the book. But they bring such a good vibe for Armin’s character. I’m happy the drama added these 2 characters.
* Thiwthit, Thada’s brother as such an important character. Thiwthit is never mentioned in the book. And I just don’t like that they added this character.
* In the book, Armin never really left Venus, instead, Thada just silently bought Venus behind the scene. Haha… And he’s more of a shadow figure behind Armin’s back instead so flown upright like in the drama.
* In the book, Thada is more mysterious. He’s the embodiment of a mysterious rich guy who controls everything behind the entertainment world. And when he announced his relationship with Armin that when the world was shaking… He really made a difference with Armin than any of his “fling”.
* The beginning of their relationship… It's just so weird in the drama. I don’t like it.
* The way they change the fact that Thada is also experienced back to past life. Yes the book mentions this for their special chapter, but for a totally different story. Not like in the drama.

What a watch...

Watched this for my Alphabet Challenge—and when I saw that Zhao Li Ying’s drama was only 8 episodes, I just clicked play… Hoho.

Lately, Zhao Li Ying has moved away from simple idol romances. All her recent dramas are serious, well-produced, and artistically driven. While this shows her growth as an actress, it also means not all of her dramas are my cup of tea. Nonetheless, they are all amazing in their own right. And this particular drama… Left me completely speechless.

Let’s talk about this drama…

The story follows Xu Tian (XT), an Uber driver who becomes obsessed with a girl named Jia Xiao Duo (XD).

XD frequently books his service, and with each ride, XT’s obsession grows. Desperate to understand her better, he signs up for a beta test of a virtual reality (VR) system where users can experience life from another person’s perspective—specifically, he plans to enter the world as XD.

But just before he begins the VR session, XD books his car again—so he leaves to pick her up instead.

While in the car, XD is on a phone call, but XT mistakenly thinks she’s talking to him. It turns out she’s arguing with her boyfriend, Wang Yang Ming (YM). Not long after, YM shows up and blocks XT’s car. Worried for XD’s safety, XT follows them and eventually catches up—only to witness their fight escalate before XD returns to his vehicle.

After taking XD home, a frustrated XT finally enters the VR. Inside, he experiences himself as XD and gets into a Virtual Escape Room (VER), where XD works as an NPC or host. In the VER, he experiences something out of the ordinary—it feels incredibly real.

The next day, YM books XT’s ride — this time to explain everything. He tells XT that he and XD have already broken up, but XD refuses to let go. YM claims he’s now with someone else and that XD often harasses him. He begs XT to “man up” and take XD off his hands. He even calls XD "crazy" and says she likes to twist the facts. As proof, he shows XT a video, claiming that what XD said about their relationship is different from the truth.

XT, however, doesn't seem to care whether XD is "crazy" or not.

After his meeting with YM, XT returns to the VR world. This time, he chooses to revisit the first time he met XD, wanting to see what her first impression of him actually was.

In the VR world, many strange things happen, and XT "dies" there. When he wakes up, he is shocked to find himself as XD — not XT. Even more disturbing, the VR operator tells him he has always entered the simulation as XD, not XT.
Now completely confused, XT visits a psychiatrist the next day... and that’s when the real truth begins to unfold.
And here’s where I’ll stop — because revealing more would spoil everything.

What I like:
+ The entire cast plays their roles beautifully, especially the two leads, Zhao Liying and Yin Fang.
+ The drama takes the concept of obsession to a whole new level—psychological, intense, and deeply unsettling.

What I don’t like:
- The plot can be confusing and hard to follow at times. Some twists don’t feel fully explained until the very end.
- This is one of the hardest reviews I’ve ever written — there’s just so much to unpack, I don’t even know where to begin or how far I should go with it… haha.

Overall, this is a truly wonderful suspense drama. You won't fully understand it unless you watch until at least episode six. This is definitely not for everyone, but for me, with only eight episodes, it was absolutely worth my time.

My July 2025 recommendations challenge

Watch this for my July 2025 recommendations challenge by 𝑱𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒏𝒂 𝑷𝒆𝒕𝒓𝒐𝒗𝒊𝒄. Let's discuss movies…

This is a classic story about two best friends who have been stuck in the friend zone for years.

Palm and Gink have been inseparable since high school. Gink's parents didn't have the best marriage — they divorced because of her father's affair. In fact, it was Gink herself, along with Palm, who discovered the truth about her father’s infidelity.

Palm has had feelings for Gink since high school and even tried to confess back then. But Gink, deeply affected by her father’s betrayal, rejected him. She didn’t want to risk losing Palm as a friend, believing that friendship is safer because "you can’t break up with your best friend.”

Over the years, they continue living their lives and each enter different romantic relationships — but remain each other’s closest confidants.

Whenever Palm breaks up with yet another girlfriend, Gink is always there to scold him— and comfort him. And whenever Gink fights with her boyfriend—no matter where she is in the world—Palm, being a flight attendant, will drop everything and fly to her the moment she calls.

Then one day, Gink begins to suspect that her current boyfriend might be cheating on her — and calls Palm to help investigate.

Then one day, Gink grew highly suspicious of her boyfriend and called Palm to investigate with her.

Amidst the chaotic emotions Gink felt about her boyfriend, Palm's long-repressed feelings for Gink also resurfaced. The tension became palpable until Palm could no longer hold back his feelings. He finally asked Gink to choose between him and her boyfriend. Shocked and overwhelmed, Gink is left stunned, unsure of what to do next.

So, what happens next?
Will they remain just friends at the end, or will something finally change between them?

That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ A heartwarming, classic take on the friend-zone trope
+ Good chemistry between Nine & Baifern.

What I don't too like:
- The story doesn’t offer anything particularly new or surprising. From the very beginning, it's obvious how special Gink and Palm’s bond is—so it’s just a matter of when, not if, they’ll cross the line.

Overall, this movie is quite good. It covers every aspect of the classic "friend versus relationship" dilemma and explores all the questions about whether to cross that line, what happens if you do, and what if that relationship ultimately fails.

Why... Why... Why....

I forget about the existence of this special ep, but when I'm arranging my picks of the month, it just came to me... So here I'm finished watch this...

Story about Cir & Phu in other world. Cir in this world has a foul mouth, people called him dog's mouth, cause be can only talk in harsh words. Phu in the other hand is a very shy guy, he's only talkative when talk about Cir with his friends. Haha...

And it's all change since Cir go to The White World (our original story, I called it white world cause Cir represents by wearing White Clothes) & wake up thinking it just a dream.

When Cir wakes up, he starts noticing Phu just in every corner pay attention to him, yet still try to hide his existence. And with the help of Wim, Phu finally get closer to Cir. So, how will their story develop in this world...?

That's pretty much the story without giving the spoiler. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ I can see Boss in more Payu's hairstyle. Haha...
+ Wim & Jim are already in relationships in this world.
+ I really like Cir & Phu in this version

Overall I'm quite happy about this special episode. But this special episode also leave a bitter taste in my mouth. That's why I'm lowering the score again. Below I'll write what I mean by the bitter taste. But that's also mean SPOILERS ALERT!!! Read it at your own risk.












==================================================
SPOILER ALERT!!!
==================================================

Why... Why... Why they must leave the world in Payu's world (I called it Payu's world cause Cir represents by having Payu's hairstyle) hanging in the middle just to back to the White World. I NEED TO WATCH THE CONTINUE OF CIR & PHU IN PAYU'S WORLD. What the heck happen after that kissed.... What is Phu reaction to it... Ughhhhh....

I really need to read to the book ASAP!!!!

Another Earth-Mix drama here we come...

After watching the first episode, I decided to watch this week by week, rather then wait to binge it. Cause this is really quite a chaotic drama, I don’t think my mind is going to hold up if I binge it in 1 sitting. Haha…

Anyhow…

Story about one property consultant company & its employees. Heng is the one of the consultants, he's one messy & sloppy guy, yet he's quite attached to his mom, not like mama boy but like his mama takes care of his life from cooking till cleaning. One day, his mama got sick by the sloppy Heng & decided to go from home & threaten Heng to get a girlfriend if not she'll not come back.

Mo, is the other consultant, mo comes from out of town & reassigned back to the company in Heng place. Since Mo had no place to live, Heng asks Mo to live together with him, what Mo just needs to do is cleaning house & cooking for Heng, yeah basically do what Heng’s mother did. Haha…

One day, Heng accidentally sees his boss' phone's screen & is shocked to see his face in it. And not long after, his Boss confessed his feelings for Heng. And since Heng can't quite say NO to his boss, his boss thinks Heng is also reciprocating his feelings. So, the misunderstanding started….

When Heng told Mo about it, turn out Mo also had feelings for Heng.

So… How will their story roll from here… Who will Heng choose in the end…?

That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Quite a unique story about a man who couldn't say NO to his boss & still needed to do all the work with the chaotic feelings.
+ Earth did an amazing job. Never expected I can see this side of acting from Earth.
+ The journey of Heng-Mo-Boss relationships growing

What I don’t like:
- How childish & chaotic Earth behave in the drama. Quite a headache to watch in the first few episodes.
- Not really a fan of the song & all the dancing. Haha…
- Sometimes watching too many Thai’s BL means we already know the couples & that erases the surprise or excitement element in guessing who is gonna end up with who. Like this one, if I just blankly enter this drama without any knowledge about Earth-Mix CP, I’ll just be at the edge of my seat, who will Heng end up with, the boss or Mo or even Chicha.

Don't know to put it in the like or not. But the confuse feeling of Mo. I don’t agree with how he potray his relationship with Heng. Especially these day, when same sex marriage is accepted everywhere, and even legal in Thai. It's like such an outdated topic. Maybe cause this is adaptation from Japan & at that time it's like that in the drama, but for me this topic need adjustment when they did the Thai adaptation.

Overall, it's a chaotic yet fun mess in the end. I am really confused about what score I should give this. Haha…

Everyone on the feeds keep buzzing about this, and this also has Zhang Ling He. So let me just check this out…

Story about Shen Xi Fan (XF) & He Su Ye (SY). XF is a manager in a 5-star hotel. Our story started with XF suffering from insomnia and migraines due to her problem with her boyfriend, Yan Heng (YH). Her parents suggest XF to see a Chinese medicine doctor & consult about her insomnia. So, obeying her parents, XF goes to see a Chinese medicine doctor and meets the gentle and handsome Chinese medicine doctor SY. Although reluctant to take the bitter medicine, XF’s parents make sure she takes the medicine.

Charmed & falls in love at the first sight with XF, SY tries to pursue her. But he finds out that XF has a boyfriend & he’s the root problem of XF’s insomnia. So, as a good doctor & friend, SY often tries to cheer XF & give her suggestions regarding her problem with her BF. And slowly but sure, their relationship grows into something more.

XF on the other hand, although also been charmed by SY, but at first she still has a BF. So XF tries to match SY to her best friend, Xu Xiang Ya (XY). But soon, XF's problem with YH grows even larger & one day YH just asks for a break up through text & that’s almost devastating XF. But thanks to SY’s companion, XF finally cheered up.

So, now SY & XF have mutual feelings for each other & both are single. Does that mean they will be in a relationship? No, not really. Cause the problem now, XF has plans to go abroad to study for her master's degree. And since XF had a bad experience with YH regarding a long distance relationship, XF doesn’t want to start a new relationship before she goes. And not only that, suddenly YH also started coming back to XF life, demanding for them to reconcile. So, how will SY & XF take control of their relationship…?

That's pretty much the story without giving any more spoilers. Now what I like and don't.

What I like:
+ Mature relationship. All the couples here are really mature adults who’s not make small problems into ridiculous fights.
+ How they promote Chinese medicine & its benefits against western medicine.
+ SY’s relationship with his dad. Usually in the drama, you either had a good or bad relationship with the parents. But here, SY’s relationship with his dad feel falls in the middle. He had a grudge against his dad & I don’t think he quite forgave him, but on the other hand he’s not really angry with his dad. So, although SY doesn’t really have the best relationship with his dad, he still can be civil with him.

What I don’t like:
- Annoying BGM. Sometimes they overuse BGM. It feels like all the romance feelings must be highlighted with BGM.

Overall this is a really good drama in my book.
