Don't Blink
I started this series only a few months after its completion and honestly, it took me longer than I care to admit to finish it. I love psycho thrillers but holy poop this was stressful. This is definitely a series you can't blink through or you'll miss something! Everything somehow, kinda, not really, sometimes ties into itself leaving you hot glued to the question "WTF IS HAPPENING?!" Imagine a roller coaster and every loop, turn and hill is a different plot... that roller coaster is "Mouse". It's a great series that I'd recommend to any serial killer buff but its flaw for me was it was either super intense or super boring which made it take so long to finish. I kept having to take breaks. Anyway, I loved the acting and the music fit perfectly. Kinda sad it's over and I didn't get the ending I wanted (idk what I wanted honestly) but it was probably the most realistic ending for such a theme.As a mother, a couple of parts hit me in the feels but I enjoyed the emotions.

Gameplay!
Honestly, I'm only here for my little cupcake Gameplay. lol I wish this series would've been longer to bring out the obvious loss of story that would leave a few questions. I'd like a S2 but I'm fine with the ending I got. This series is more a 'behind the scenes' of the BL industry actors so I enjoyed it wasn't too basic/cliché. It kinda went down the typical 'it has to be this way' road but it didn't negatively impact much. Gameplay and fellow main characters did pretty well but I think a bit of the side characters and their stories were unnecessary and the constant aimless babel caused me to skip those random bits and pieces. As an experienced BL fan, I'd recommend to a BL newbie or someone who wants a bit of a different story. Not my favourite series by any stretch but it wasn't too bad.I think I'm just used to seeing Gameplay with Jeff so I think he belongs with him before any other coupling.

Friendship
Well if you're looking for a reason to not have friends, have I got the drama for you!In true Korean BL fashion, this drama is short but based on the plot I'd be pretty happy with a legit series/movie. I felt a LOT of detail got crammed together and definitely left out but it's worth the watch if you want a quick suspense scare, intense s*x scene or even a plot that isn't cliché and overused. Idk if this is a drama I'd recommend (considering it's lack of storyline) but don't dismiss it just because it's short. I didn't get a campy vibe at all but it did give me ideas on the quickest way to get furniture out of my house lmao

ON POINT
Are you looking for a Rom-Com? TURN BACK! Are you wanting a drama with all good things in life? GET OUT! How about blood trails as far as the eye can see? LOOK NO FURTHER!Nothing is better than a beast mode female lead and that's the definition of this series! If your sexist I don't recommend cause this girl is gonna put you into the deepest pits of shame. lol It's easy for Revenge and Justice to get mixed into each other and it becomes a game of cat and mouse over how much of a monster you'll become for having the thoughts and feelings you gain. My girl doesn't disappoint with the martial arts and knife slinging. It's a constant game of "Who Did It?" and "OMG How will you manage this one?" and I loved every minute of it Acting was solid af with all the rage and fear being felt through every inch of this awesome series.
The ending has me feeling some type of way, but I'll let that slide.

Finally!
Like most others who watched this, I'm only here cause Zee, Boun, Prem etc. lol Very successful BL actors all on one screen? Sign Me Up!... is what I once thought.This was on my PTWL for awhile and I think it was on my Currently Watching List for even longer. I just couldn't get into it. Every ep estimating almost an hour basically made me waste 12 HOURS OF MY LIFE! I am whole heartedly frustrated in this show. I wouldn't recommend and definitely won't re-watch. The guy can't eat alone. There. That's It. That's all that happens. I wouldn't even call that a spoiler cause it's in the title of the show. I gave it a higher rating than the Rating Recommendation suggested (if that gives you an example of the s*** show you're about to experience) LMAO
Good Luck...

Barely Made It
Whew ok so first I gotta say I knew this would be awkward when I saw the cat on the cover. Everything about him looked terrified. lmaoAnyway, unfortunately, the BL industry hasn't figured out more is not always better (when it comes to couples). Large amounts of coupling not only confuses fans but can keep each couple from getting the screen time they deserve. I suffered through most of this but pushed my way to the end. A LOT of it was basic and cliché city but I wanted to give the, clearly new, actors a chance. It wasn't all bad though, there were some cute parts, pretty decent visuals and, of course, I had a favourite couple lol. I wouldn't recommend to anyone (even a BL newbie) but I hope the actors progress in their careers through this.

Bitter Sweet
First of all, this film is NOT for the faint heart. It may be short but it is POWERFUL! I would definitely welcome more with open arms, but I'm satisfied with what I got out of this. It has it's heartfelt and heart breaking moments. Surrounded by love and lust, throw in some family violence and it's a horribly addicting concoction that had me hooked and before I knew it, it was over!Enjoy...
*P.S. (on a serious note, not just as part of a review) Always tell someone the full story when experiencing physical abuse, it may be hard, but sometimes it could save your life.

Bleh
Ok so first I gotta say I had a bit of a hard time finding subs so some of it I was kinda winging it. The story is there but I somehow couldn't get into it much. Keep in mind these are new actors, but that doesn't mean it's technically 'bad'. It seemed a bit low budget but it has some realistic points that either made me happy or sad lol Not gonna lie, I laughed more than I should have with the fight scenes LMAO. I'm not really sure I'd recommend to anyone based on how little it interested me but if you want something simple to kill some time and surprisingly not too cliché, I'd give SSN a shot. I think there was a pretty good amount of chemistry (between friends and lovers alike) which obviously always helps a series. I think it's rating is pretty accurate for the most part.Enjoy...

Love the Real
Looking for something cliché? GO BACK! Want something sweet and fluffy? YOU CAME TO THE WRONG PLACE! How about something with convincing realism? WELCOME!Now don't get me wrong, there were some cute moments that were actually a little too cheesy, but overall I enjoyed this as much as I did because of how realistic it was. There's been a few Covid related BLs lately that have all been great but I think this had the most natural response to everything. From one night stands to quarantine, it's an emotional roller coaster for anyone who's suffered a brutal, surprise attack breakup that left you bitter and unloving. Sometimes we get so smitten we forget the logical side of things and my little muffins bring all the pain and heartfelt moments to life.
It's pretty clear they're new to the acting industry, but don't let that stop you.
The ending will throw you off a cliff into some cacti lol

Owes Me!
For starters, T.O.P was one of my first bias's when I entered the World of K-Pop, so when I stumbled upon this in the middle of the night I of course had to watch! If you like watching bullets fly and puddles of blood, you've come to the right place. South Korea sure knows how to highlight the dirty work North Korea does lol The ending almost made me throw my computer but it's all good over here! It's not as hardcore as I expected (given the theme) but overall I was on the edge of my seat and thoroughly enjoyed it all.Enjoy...

Amazing!
Japan never lets me down when it comes to BL. I'm not sure what I was expecting but I LOVED every bit of this! It's not your typical BL at all, and that makes me love it even more. Not a bit of it was basic or cliché. I thought it was gonna be a bromance but it ended with more cuteness than ever expected. It was simple but heartwarming and meaningful with friendship shining brighter than anything. I'd definitely recommend to a new BL fan or someone who loves a good story with light romance(if any at all).Enjoy...

Potential-ish
If you're looking for something hardcore sexual TURN BACK! If you're looking for a good story line GO AWAY! But if you're looking for something that's missing out on a lot of potential WELCOME! This was painful. Typical of a Thai BL to be a bit cheesy and tacky to the point it's cute lol As an experienced BL fan I've seen the good, the bad and the ugly. This could've been "well" but it's a bit of a flop. It's not even the acting (btw don't get too hyped for the kissing) it's the overall story that fell short like, into the trenches short. Namwhan was legit my fav character mostly cause I think everyone (especially women) can relate to her. I can see her becoming one of the New Queens of BL. ANYWAY there's visuals to look forward too but eh otherwise. I'd like to see the actors in other series perhaps though.Enjoy...

Unlimited
First, I NEED UNLIMITED SEASONS!!! You can't go wrong with the powerhouse couple known as MaxTul, and they continued their God Tier amazingness here. Anytime MaxTul are together, it's perfection. I believe they've always had flawless chemistry and it shines just as bright in every scene they're in! The plot itself may seem a bit slow paced but it's well worth it(especially in the end). There's a lot to focus on once it gets started so I don't think you'll get bored lol I'd highly recommend if you enjoy suspense, deception, a not so common story and/or even if you're new to the BL world. There's a bit of something for everyone here.Enjoy...

Eh, Cute.
I binged this and I gotta say, if you want cavities you came to the right place. There's a lot of stupid cute fluffiness that's so super sweet it's really cheesy lol Familiar faces and visuals all around . You can tell who's inexperienced in the BL industry, but don't let that hold you back. I was impressed it wasn't as cliché as I feared and actually had a story that was not necessarily realistic, but again wasn't too cliché for a BL. Overall, I liked it and thank goodness there's a S2 in the works or I'd be mad confused lol. I'd recommend to a newbie BL fan but won't re-watch. I came this far and it was good enough so I'll at least definitely watch S2.Was this review helpful to you?
Life Lessons
So for starters if you're looking for wholesome lovey dovey cuteness TURN TF BACK! It's exaggerated, but still pretty damn accurate to real life issues in everything ranging from love to the workplace. If you're looking for something realistic with some soap opera/high school drama look no further.I enjoyed this season more than last but due to my personal feelings of everything being like a double edge sword of "that's messed up but yet I kinda understand" thoughts I gave it a slight above average rating lol No matter the preference I think everyone can learn something from this and definitely have the ability to grow from it all.
Acting was amazing as always! I felt the sadness and tension from everyone and I definitely relate to Boom the most. Visuals all around(male and female) so I don't think you'll be disappointed in any arena this show offers.
Be prepared for a nice dramatic ride with probably the most satisfying ending I've seen in awhile. It helped the ending didn't seem rushed, it's a roller coaster ride you can't wait to ride!
