Disorder of my feelings
Also while watching the series "The Unknown" I went through many feelings that you cannot describe and explain how they affected you, how the story talks about the concept of family but in a different way for each of the heroes, also the concept of love in this world, how their relationship turned from turmoil due to the feelings they live with, which are not acceptable to some, how they convey to you, the viewer, how the relationship of the two heroes turned from brotherly to lovers while they went through emotional and psychological turmoil because of this love, how they are ready to protect each other even if it will lead to the death of one of them, how he was stubborn that it was the best decision he made to make his brother travel abroad despite his fear of losing him, and how he ignored this feeling throughout the period of his brother's absence, also the sequence of their relationship, how they made it clear that he reciprocated the feeling but without saying anything, he just held his hand as if telling him that he loves him but does not understand what his feelings are inside. I also liked that the story gives rules about family. We do not disagree that the concept of family is always warm and inclusive of its members. The development of events, the music, and the feelings tell you that if you love someone, keep fighting until you win him over, do not give up. From the first rejection or quarrel, things happen and concepts change now with the passage of time, so hold on to those you love and create beautiful memories with them. I also highly recommend watching it. “Also, if you suffer from emotional disturbance due to life matters, watch it and you will know how to overcome this disturbance and find a solution for it.”Why are the series produced by Taiwan always so touching and have a lasting effect on the viewer? This is the second series that I have watched produced by Taiwan and until now there are feelings and emotions that I felt that continue with me even after the series ends. They have many stories to produce, but at the same time their production contains lessons, sermons and wisdom for the viewer. When you watch the series, you will understand that their focus is on the story and not on the purely intimate relationship that you see in other series about BL

Short, Smooth, and Satisfying: Thoughts on My Damn Business
A light and smooth drama that doesn't bore the viewer. The story is simple yet engaging, without being overly dramatic or intense. The music complements the mood perfectly, while the cinematography, transitions, and direction are executed beautifully and comfortably for the audience.What I particularly liked is that the focus remains entirely on the two main leads. The development of their relationship feels natural, gradual, and easy to follow. The way the series portrayed the hero's initially annoying personality-and how it changed over time-was very realistic and well done.
Despite being only seven episodes long, the drama manages to feel complete, with no missing or confusing parts. Overall, My Damn Business is a good, well-balanced drama with a simple yet satisfying story and well-crafted execution

Ununderstood
Seoul Blues is structured like a series of short, disconnected episodes with little to no narrative continuity. The storyline lacks depth and coherence, making it difficult to follow or connect emotionally with the characters. Relationships develop abruptly and superficially, without sufficient build-up or explanation. While the drama attempts some emotional moments, the overall execution feels scattered and leaves the viewer confused rather than engaged. may appeal to those who prefer experimental storytelling, but for viewers seeking a cohesive plot and characterdevelopment, it is likely to be
disappointing.
Is this drama a collection of short films where each episode tells a different story? What on earth is going on with this drama? The events and their sequence are completely disconnected. What do I even call this? Casual relationships or just whims? There is absolutely nothing understandable about it. Each episode has no connection to the next, and the events are confusing and out of order. It seems like they just want to show that they can do it. I find no meaning or story in it at all. And what’s wrong with the actor? He just accepts whoever he wants. What exactly is this?

Nice Thai Dharma
This BL drama is light and cute, and it's also a comedy. I laughed a lot while watching it. The actors have a comedic vibe to them. I enjoy watching it. For me, it's a cute series, I can watch it if I want something quick. As for the romance, it has some scenes, but they're not as bold as the ones we're watching now. I also liked the development of events and the flow between the leads, as everything is clear and easy for the viewer. You don't need to concentrate while watching to understand the story and how the events develop, so it's easy to understand and clearWas this review helpful to you?
Worth praise
Review: A Charming Japanese Drama with a Pleasant VibeI thoroughly enjoyed watching this drama, and it left me with a light and pleasant feeling overall. As a fan of Japanese productions, I appreciate their creativity and the way they craft movies and series. They often have a smooth and clear narrative, which I find very engaging. The development of events in this drama was well-paced, and I never felt bored while watching, thanks to the engaging storyline and seamless progression.
The cinematography, direction, music, and transitions between shots were all exceptional. What stood out to me was the lightness of the drama. It's the kind of show that doesn’t make you question whether you’ll finish it—it’s easy to watch and offers a visually pleasing experience. The way the events flow and the actors' performances really show their creativity, which I admired.
I personally tend to struggle with dramas that are tiring to the eyes or overly noisy, but this one was different. It had a calm, beautiful energy that made me feel better and even laugh without realizing it. However, I was a little saddened that the episodes were quite short. I feel like if they had been a bit longer, it could have been even more enjoyable. That said, after finishing the drama, I understand why the director chose to keep the episodes short. The flow of events in just 8 episodes was smooth, clear, and easy to follow.
This is one of the things that sets Japanese productions apart. The direction and cinematography were outstanding, and I highly recommend watching it. In general, I have a lot of confidence in Japanese productions—they never fail to move emotions and captivate the viewer with their filming style, direction, and music choices. A huge thank you to everyone involved in creating such a wonderful drama. I will miss it now that I’ve finished it 🥹🥹.

偉大で優れた傑作
Why is Japanese production always so well done, wonderful and very impressive? It always excels and is at the forefront of all Japanese productions in terms of anime, series and films. Their stories are always out of the ordinary and captivate the viewer while watching. They also always amaze the viewer in terms of photography, directing and the magnificence of what is filmed. As for the series, the word wonderful is not enough for it. It deserves awards and praise for this masterpiece that was directed. It attracted all my senses while watching. Should I praise the photography, the story, the directing or the actors? The series made me while watching it enter into a vortex of confusion, doubt and curiosity until I know the events and who is the bad person in it. The series also directed the events at the group whose feelings and what happens to them are always neglected. The actors who played the role of the young child and the younger boy were very skilled in their roles. How did they reach the suffering that happens to them without talking? The young child is creative in how he explained to the viewer how he went through a lot, but without speaking. It is a very wonderful and creative series. I thank everyone who worked on the work and praise them for their efforts. I also advise viewers to follow it.Was this review helpful to you?
Flap of the heart
I just discovered that I haven't expressed an opinion on this drama. Maybe until now I'm affected by the story, events and music, but I have to thank them for showing me that no matter how sincere and heartfelt love is, it will remain sincere until it finds someone to truly love. Maybe many don't believe this. Is there anyone who would wait that long to get to know someone they loved when they were young? That's why I'm currently suffering because this drama is ending, but I'm sure I'll go through all these feelings again when I watch it again. I advise everyone to watch it and experience these feelings.🥲🥲Was this review helpful to you?
Sing My Crush: A Missed Opportunity for a Strong BL Narrative
“Sing My Crush” is a drama with a charming visual and musical appeal, yet it struggles to deliver a coherent and engaging narrative. While the concept had potential, the execution fell short in several key areas.The story feels fragmented and lacks proper structure. Scenes often end abruptly, only for the next one to jump ahead without resolving what just happened. This creates noticeable gaps in the storytelling that leave viewers confused rather than emotionally invested. The emotional development between the characters is also left vague, making it difficult to fully connect with their journey or understand the progression of their feelings.
Despite its shortcomings, the drama does have redeeming qualities. The cinematography is truly beautiful, with soft visuals that match the mood of the story. The soundtrack is another strong point, enhancing the emotional tone where the writing fails to do so.
Overall, “Sing My Crush” is visually and musically pleasing, but the lack of depth and narrative consistency weakens the impact of what could have been a heartfelt story. It’s a drama that shines aesthetically, but falls short in delivering a complete and satisfying emotional experience.

Ai Long Nhai: A Calm But Uneventful Ride
Episodes: 12
Duration: 43–44 minutes per episode
This drama can be described as average — not particularly good, but not terrible either. I personally felt a sense of boredom while watching it, as the sequence and development of events were quite slow. At times, it also felt like certain events were skipped, which made some scenes confusing and hard to follow.
When it comes to the acting:
Aiyaret / “Ai” had moments of great performance, but other times it seemed as though the scenes were rushed just to wrap up his parts.
Chen Nhai came across as childish and whiny, and at some points, it looked like he wasn’t fully satisfied with the role—as if he was forced into it. In certain moments, the chemistry between him and Ai was good, but in others, it felt detached and lifeless, like they just wanted the scene to end quickly.
As for the supporting characters, some stood out and delivered their roles well, but others seemed to be there merely to fill space. Their presence lacked depth, and they didn’t get proper focus. It was also disappointing that other couples were introduced but not given any meaningful development—no emotional depth, no scenes to show the evolution of their relationships.
Rajeen’s role was infuriating in the best way possible. Her limited scenes were impactful, but her character was truly despicable. The fact that she only remembered her son when she needed to exploit him for her daughter made her character even more loathsome.
On the other hand, Jaonan (“Nan”) and Sippakorn (Ai’s father) were a highlight for me. Their chemistry was soft, warm, and genuine. The way they understood and supported Ai, and how they interacted with each other, added a beautiful and comforting layer to the drama.
Overall:
It’s an okay drama. You might find yourself getting bored and pausing it from time to time, but it’s easy to come back and finish it later. I wouldn’t recommend watching it with high expectations, though — it’s more suitable for when you’re in the mood for something light and slow-paced.

When Cold Walls Slowly Break”
Taiwanese Drama: Be Loved in House: I DoEpisodes: 13 (each 23–28 minutes)
This drama is well-made in terms of cinematography, directing, music selection, and the smooth transitions between scenes and events. The music, in particular, matches the atmosphere beautifully — its rhythm is pleasant and never distracting.
The sequence of events flows naturally. Nothing felt rushed or dragged out. Across 13 episodes, the progression of the story remained clear, steady, and easy to follow. Each episode connected seamlessly to the next, which helped the viewer stay immersed without confusion.
As for the actors, their performances were impressive and brought their characters to life:
Jin Yu Zhen (“Real”): His portrayal of a cold, distant character was excellent. His seriousness and rejection of relationships felt real. At first, his attitude was provoking and made me dislike him — which is a good thing because it means he successfully embodied the role and made me feel what his character wanted to convey.
Shi Lei: A stubborn yet warm and childish character. I liked how balanced his portrayal was — persistent but also considerate of others. His efforts to understand Jin Yu Zhen’s mentality and break through his emotional walls were heartfelt.
Yan Zhao Gang & Wu Si Qi: A calm and sweet duo whose chemistry created a soft romantic atmosphere. Their relationship development was simple but meaningful, with beautiful mutual understanding.
Lan Juan (Shi Lei’s mother): Her presence was warm and impactful. She understood her son’s emotions deeply, and her scenes added emotional depth to the story, especially in how she encouraged him to face his feelings.
Yi Zi Tong (E-Stone): His performance was powerful. At first, his actions made me dislike him — which means his acting was convincing. While he ultimately helped the hero confront his fears, I personally didn’t like how easily the harm he caused was overlooked. It didn’t feel realistic to forgive so easily after causing that kind of pain.
The supporting characters each added their own flavor to the story, and most appearances felt purposeful, not just filler.
Regarding the main relationship between Jin Yu Zhen and Shi Lei: I loved how their bond grew. From initial hostility to mutual care, their feelings developed naturally. Each of them had a unique way of showing love and concern, which became clearer with every episode.
Overall, this drama is good in many aspects — well-paced, emotionally engaging, and nicely acted.
The only thing that truly bothered me was how the situation with Yi Zi Tong and Jin Yu Zhen was handled. It didn’t sit right with me how such deep pain was resolved so easily, as if nothing serious had happened.

A Flawed Adaptation of Love in the Air
Should I say that this version lacks many things, or that it was made just as an additional work in another language to the original version? Many episodes were combined into one, and I don’t understand why. Some events were deleted, and some episodes appeared in a confusing way, leaving the viewer asking, “Where is the sequel?”When I saw that a version of the Thai series would be produced, I expected it to be wonderful and even better than the original. However, this version omitted important events, and the pacing of the remaining events was too fast. It feels as if the director and producer were trying to end the story in any way possible, making it feel like a completely different work. To make viewers accept it as normal, they even brought the two heroes from the Thai version to appear in it.
Is there something wrong with this director? Despite some nice and funny shots, these moments are overshadowed by the flaws, and the focus shifts to trying to make sense of the events. I did not like the fast pace, and the sequence of events is very confusing for the viewer.
That said, I do not deny that the filming method and the music are excellent. But overall, this work is considered a failed and very weak version.

Cute Characters, Rushed Plot
The drama is overall quite good, though not without flaws. Some characters made it especially cute and enjoyable-particularly Muffin, whose fun and cheerful personality added lightness to every scene, and Phai, who balanced things out with herseriousness and grounding presence.
The leads, Guy and Thiu, had great chemistry that kept the story engaging. However, certain parts of the plot felt rushed, with some events skipped as if the scenario was cut in half. Despite that, it remains an entertaining watch, especially if you're looking for lighthearted moments, laughter, and simple enjoyment.

Rushed but Refreshing: The Director Who Buys Me Dinner
Korean Drama: The Director Who Buys Me Dinner10 episodes, each ranging from 10 to 17 minutes.
Now let’s get to the details. It seems the production faced financial limitations, which resulted in events being compressed in an annoying way. I didn’t like how the story ended in just 10 episodes without clarifying the rest of the plot. They could have reduced costs by removing some unnecessary side characters who were only there to fill the screen. I also didn’t like how the relationship between the two leads concluded this way. While I knew the ending would be sad, the story still felt incomplete due to the rushed pacing.
On the positive side, I loved the harmony between the two leads—their chemistry was amazing. What I especially liked is that, unlike other BL dramas, their love story was already established in a past life as two men. I laughed at several funny moments, like when he was drinking and the bottle was taken away from him. I also enjoyed how the main character acted spoiled while still trying to keep up with his lover.
The story itself is fresh and not repetitive, but the excessive cramming of events caused noticeable gaps and left parts of the narrative feeling empty. Overall, despite its flaws, it’s still a new and interesting take compared to the typical boys’ love dramas.

"Minato's Laundromat: A Heartfelt Journey of Love and Growth"
Japanese Drama Review: Minato's Laundromat (12 episodes, 25 minutes each)Story and Character Development:
The character building in this drama is exceptional. The way events unfold, their sequence, and development is excellent—not too fast to be confusing, nor too slow to be boring. I really enjoyed this balance.
Cinematography, Directing, and Music:
The photography, directing, and transitions between shots are professional and visually pleasing. The music is well-chosen and never annoying. The series provides just the right amount of visual stimulation without distracting from the story.
Main Characters:
Minato Akira (Kusakawa Takuya): He perfectly portrayed a depressed and closed-off character. Watching his journey from a guarded, fearful person to someone who finds his happiness and safe zone was remarkable. I felt every emotion he experienced from beginning to end.
Katsuki Shintaro (Nishigaki Sho): Persistent, stubborn, and possessive. His performance was captivating, showing what it means to break into someone’s heart without permission. Despite their age difference, his love and dedication for Minato Akira over the years were beautifully expressed through his acting and eyes.
The chemistry between the two leads is excellent—they made me truly feel the growth of their relationship.
Secondary Characters:
Sakuma Shu and Sakuma Takayuki: They provided the most comic relief. Especially Sakuma Shu, whose antics and expressions were hilarious.
Hanabusa Asuka (Oku Tomoya): A calm and subtle presence, whose few scenes were impactful, showing quiet and contained emotions of love.
Favorite Scenes:
1. Episode 7: Katsuki Shintaro shows childhood pictures to Minato Akira, expressing his feelings with sincerity.
2. Episode 8: Minato Akira rejects Shintaro’s feelings, yet Shintaro’s eyes and reactions make it clear he will love him forever.
3. Episode 9: A comedic moment where Sakurako confesses to Sakuma Shu, and his off-script reaction made me laugh uncontrollably.
4. Episode 12: The finale—Minato Akira reads Shintaro’s farewell letter, feels the anger and explosion of emotions, and rushes to confess his feelings. Even after discovering he wouldn’t leave, he faces his emotions fully. This scene was deeply moving.
Conclusion:
I highly recommend watching Minato's Laundromat. You will experience a range of emotions—from laughter to heartfelt moments—and the character development makes it a truly memorable drama.
