Absolutely Entertaining and enchanting
This BL series paid homage to the old 'sitcom' series with laugh tracks and colorful sets and stunning outfits. Plus the main actors are two of the handsomest men on the planet. It is fun to watch and the story is a good old fashioned one done so many times before but they created characters we can relate to and see ourselves in them. Sure, the laugh track is awful but it became like an old friend after awhile. The strength of this series is the awesome chemistry between the leads and the amazing support roles. One of my favorites for this year. It is so enjoyable.You can read my full review of this great series at BLBliss.com.

Unquestionably, one of the finest BLs
Captivating. Mesmerizing. These are just some of the adjectives I would use to describe this astonishing and exceptional Bl series that uses the standard formulaic idea for most Thai BL series. So why did this one so capture my attention and frankly my heart deeply? Unquestionably because of the connection and chemistry between its two main stars. I believed their story from the beginning to the end. It is one of the best acted BL series to come along in a very long time. I thoroughly enjoyed this series for its depthless of its main characters.Was this review helpful to you?
A Hidden Gem
Sometimes things can be done so softly that it breezes past us without our being aware of them. And this is one of those happenstances. It is a beautifully told BL story of love, pain, and separation. For two ordinary guys who have gone unnoticed in life. Who cannot relate to that?This is a bittersweet story that left me crying. It is a story of life not often told so simply yet profoundly. We got to see the lives of two men pass each other on the way to living.
Watch it and let its ordinariness drift by you. You just might feel better about yourself.

A Confusing Story of Unrequited Love
Maybe it was due to an inadequate translation issue, but I honestly was not sure what to make of this series. Although it is very short, I found it quite confusing. Perhaps it was the translations, but I do think the editing was the main culprit. It was not clear which scenes were from the past and which were of the present. This is a prime example of a sociopathic view of the world of love. These roles are very difficult because the internal structures of their emotions are not fully explored in this series, and we are forced to fill in the blanks here.Was this review helpful to you?
A BL horror with an interesting ending
This in reality is a noble gesture in trying to provide a different feel to the BL genre. It frankly is not very scaring but it did have a very interesting ending to it that came as a surprise at least for me. However, the main actors were certainly not afraid or ashamed to show their Adonis bodies nude or in very tight underwear and speedos. How refreshing! A BL movie that showed guys being guys in scenes that called for nudity. We did not have to speculate or guess. We saw. It brought this to an adult level without it being in any way pornographic or celicious. Kudos for them for doing this even if the production was a bit week.You can see my full review of this movie at BLBliss.com.

A theater-in-the-round experience
This is a series NOT for everyone. It is highly allegorical and is very Avant-Garde. But I rather enjoyed it for those reasons. It has some very intense erotic scenes which adds to its mysteries. I thought the acting was very good but it lost me with its repeated scenes and constant singing. You have to really enjoy fringe series to appreciate this one. You are really quite an observer in this series, almost lie a theater-in-the round and you feel a bit intrusive when listening to their conversations and certainly when they are bring lascivious.Read my full review of this interesting off-the-wall series at BLBliss.com

Theme - Social Justice
Everything you read about this series is probably accurate. But there is just SOMETHING about this series that is so incredibly endearing and fun to watch. Its message, plain and simple, is social justice. Kudos! They presented that by introducing 3 cute and adorable BL couples. Realistic? No, but so much fun to watch. It is implausible, silly at times, but so entertaining. There is also something about the series in Northern Thailand that makes them so genuine, real, and simply fun to watch. It is not deeply character driven but I did not care. The story is poignant even if it is unrealistic. The relationships are slow to develop but again, I did not care. I related to all of them in some way. In addition, watch it simply for Grandma. I want her as my Grandma! Pay no attention to any of us - just watch and be entertained!If you want to see my full review, go to BLBliss.com.

One of the Top 10 of 21
This is a brutally honest portrayal of the film industry and of the spirally effects of mental illness. Yes, the characters are flawed and yes some are timid and lack courage but when push comes to shove, they stand up for what they believe. This is a phenomenally good series and a flawless transition from Season 1. The outstanding performance of one spiraling out of control is so spot on that it was frighteningly real. This is real on so many fronts. For me, it shall be on my Top 10 List for 21.You can read my full review of this breathtakingly good BL series at BLBliss.com.

A Phenomenal Series Completely Misunderstood
You have to dig deep to appreciate the beauty of this series. It's production is awful. It is an obvious shoe string production but it is without doubt a total labor of love. This is misunderstood because of its production issues, The acting has both profound highs and mediocrity. If this had been a better productid series, I would have put this on my Top 10 for 21. The story lines are beyond ANY BL series I have seen so far, and I have watched a lot. They tackle issues that other series never mention or simply gloss over. The emotions are real. The pain is real. I cried deeply watching this because it is filled with human pathos. Watch it with the understanding that production is NOT good. But the story is so raw.Read my full review at BLBliss.com.

A Different Twist to a BL Story
I liked this movie. Normally, I detest occult and ghost stories but this one brought me into it. Mainly because of the excellent acting by the main characters. They were not easy roles because they required a lot of internal intensity to portray. It is filled with a lot of quixotic characters in bizarre settings but it worked. The chemistry and connection between the main characters is so evident. They are physical yet no physicality is involved. They are emotional without emotional attachments. They are individuals but function like an entity. Intriguing? Absolutely. But this is not for everyone. If you are looking for a love connection, move on. It's not here. Or is it?You can read my full review at BLBLISS.com.

One of the Best for 21
This is an astonishingly good BL series that is way too quick for its own good. It simply moved to fast to process its complete story. I wanted more. This is one of the best acted series of 2021 and no doubt THE best BL series from Thailand so far this year. It is, frankly, outstanding. Its caption at the end says that “this series is a dramatization inspired by actual events.” While it is not shocking (since I live in the Los Angeles area and know people in Hollywood and have heard similar stories personally), it was surprising that such a production was made. Kudos and applause for doing this and for exposing the underbelly of what happens in the film industry no matter what county it is produced in.You can read my full review of this series at BLBliss.com.

Adorable
The issue with this series is NOT acting but the story line. Stepbrother relationships have been done ad nauseum. There are just so many ways to present stepbrothers falling in love. This one does have some unique approaches to it, and the story between the mother and father is a first and different, so there is just enough here to make it entertaining and fun to watch The two main actors are so adorable and cute and really can act. They honestly made this series flow nicely. However, it needed more depth to character development and it certainly needed more attention to some serious traumatic issues that arise. But it you want to watch pure adolescents' "love" unfold, this is the one for you. You can read my full review of this cute BL series at BLBliss.com.Was this review helpful to you?
Near Perfection
I loved this movie as it presented the love between two men in a very realistic manner given the societal and cultural norms we have to live under (even here in the so-called free state of the USA). There is a message of hope here and this stories and others like this one plant the seed of change in more closed societies. (I live in California which is way more progressive that other parts of the USA).It is a continuation of Present Perfect but with a mature and more definitive approach to life and what constitutes a family. This is not your typical BL series and is quite a journey into what (gay) love is all about. It shows clearly that love is the determinant.
The acting is superb and the story is organic and literally is in the moment (present).

More Than One Story
This is a continuation of We Best Love No. 1 but yet it presents a unique and different approach to love. It is not as powerful as the first series but it helps cement what did happen in the first. However, there are some interesting twists and turns for other supporting staff that are simply brilliant. Honestly, that is way more intriguing to watch especially since it deals with individuals who definitely dance to the beat of a different drummer. That part is superb.If you want to read my full review, please go to BLBliss.com. Leave a comment if you like.

A Stunning Film
This is an almost flawless story of unrequited love with a sad but powerful message at the end. The actors were unquestionably brilliant and did a superb job, playing their parts with such a quiet fortitude and commitment. The natural beautify of the location where they were simply enhanced this story and its characters. The location is fairly remote in a stunningly beautiful mountainous area of Japan.This story is unpretentious.
