BL Ratings

Educational, Sentimental, Intriguing

This show shows you the perspective of different kinds of relationships varying in ages and sexualities. Showing the ups and downs of each relationship and how they solve them throughout the series. It educates people on different topics such as sex, family, relationships, marriage and more. I really enjoyed this series because it kept me entertained but also seemed educational in different aspects. It gave you the perspective of all the characters and how some things can be misunderstandings and could be minor issues that with miscommunication it becomes a bigger problem but with time, patience, cooperation, communication and involvement it could be fixed. It showed the struggles of what a married couple could experience at a specific moment in their marriage and how it affects them overall, this show does an amazing job at showing how sexual attraction can be affected once you’ve been with someone for a long time and how issues with sexual intercourse could arise due to lack of time, lack of interest, and just not enough communication and also making plans to switch things up here and there. It showed conflict, sentimental, happy and confusing moments and more with family and how it all evolved through the series. The tension, connection, and intimate moments shared in this series speak for themselves, while some sex scenes scream out love and affection others scream out as a cry for help in the relationship because the bond is just not there during it causing conflict and confusion in the relationships. This show does a great job as being realistic on multiple subjects and how it affects multiple people in either a positive or negative way. While this show is mainly targeted as a sex show, focusing on only sex is not the main plot, there’s more to it and it takes you for a ride so expect yourself to cry, laugh, and have your heart pounding throughout the spicy scenes and passionate kisses. Overall a beautiful show with realistic scenes and many characters stories being shown to keep you extra entertained. Really recommend this show!

Secret Lover: Blink and They’re Already Making Out

I was so excited waiting for this one to finish airing. A best friends-to-lovers trope from a Taiwan BL? That’s supposed to be my Roman Empire. I was ready for slow burn, tension, yearning — the kind of emotional suffering we live for. But instead of a slow burn, I got a speed run. The series jumped straight into Freakytown before I even had time to finish my popcorn. Episode 1? They’re making out. By episode 4? They’re already in bed. Like… can we breathe first? Can you yearn a little before we start undressing? BLs without a build-up feel so off, especially when these two were supposed to be best friends with zero preexisting feelings. Realistically, if your best friend suddenly confesses, you’d at least need a few days or even longer to emotionally spiral before kissing them. But nope — these two skipped the spiral and went straight to “we’re in love now.” Jun Xi said Han Tuo was moving too fast, and honestly for the audience that was even faster. The audience needed a seatbelt. The pacing was just insane — there was no room for character or relationship development, which sucks because the plot idea was actually good. It could’ve been a gem, but they rushed it like there was a prize for moving like the speed of light. Now, I’ll give credit where it’s due: the chemistry was good! Like, they looked great together. But chemistry can’t fix a broken plot. And I swear, the side characters were eating them up. I was way more invested in the two girls than the main couple because they actually felt real. The parents? Adorable. The brother? Supportive king. The funny moments? Lifesavers. Those are honestly the only reasons the rating isn’t lower. Also, Han Tuo being jealous of a literal child was wild behavior. Sir, be serious. You can tell that man wasn't ready for a relationship and honestly, probably neither was Jun Xi. I think if anything Han Tao needed therapy. Anyway, safe to say I’m disappointed once again. Taiwan BL used to have that magic — what’s going on lately? Someone bring back the yearning, please.

Rating: 7.5/10 (for the acting, the side characters, and the comedy that unintentionally saved the show).

Masterpiece But I Want More

I'm left unsatisfied but satisfied, I'm glad the ending wasn't sad but open. Definitely either watching Unintentional Love Story (ULS) first or Time Of Fever (TOF) first won't matter, because regardless the pieces will be put together, but if you asked me in which order it should be watched, I think TOF first and then ULS because ULS takes place more in the future for them 2. Now something I'm confused about is why in ULS Kim Dong Hui is still acting so distant and rejective towards Ko Ho Tae, I can understand why he was like that in TOF because he was young and still processing and accepting his feelings for Ko Ho Tae but why now in the future? I just feel like theres something missing, something we don't know that happened or idk something thats not being shown. Because it doesn't make sense, regardless this story was beautiful to me, I really like this one more than ULS and I honestly hope we see more of them 2 in future series, though I doubt it, I still hope for more, either it be another season or another series I'll be happy to watch.

Edging Ritual (Not in a weird way)

First story had wanting more, second story had me wanting more, third story had me wishing there was less, and fourth story had me wanting more. I know they're short and I shouldn't expect a whole story written in like 8-10 min per episode but I lowkey just wanted to know more about what happened next, the first one had me wondering if they ended together or not, I mean maybe they did? IDK the way they spoke to each other like yeah probs. Second story was like yeah yay they like each other but like now I wanna see how their life goes after they start dating and also life before, third story had me wishing I never saw it that shit was so sad omg like make it stop, and fourth one was also making me wanna see more after they start dating and before, tho the kiss was chefs kiss! Once again I know they're short so obviously they're not gonna be like a whole 2 hour movie, but yeah! Regardless of this it was decent, the stories are short and simple and they're very soft and wholesome. Just like someone said in the reviews, it's like a bite sized story!

Pure Cinematography And Art

This short series is just lovely, love the places it takes place and how each episode is filled with green it feels like you're in there with there, I can feel the rain, the breeze, the scent of the leaves, it makes you forget your even watching a series to begin with, for a second I was like "idc about the plot I'm just here to admire this beautiful scenery in every episode" but the story was also captivating, simple but cute, it's like a coming of age story, with a love thats so pure and wholesome, it's interpreted so beautifully and in such an artistic way I just couldn't stop watching. I also need to appreciate the fact that it's short so everything is balanced super well. I really enjoyed this one and can't wait to watch the special episodes once they're all fully released.

I Will Cry, Don't Test Me

Bro, I'm done, I'm done, I'm done, like why them? Why do they have to do all this like can't we just have a normal cute special episode, these days special episodes are not special anymore, they're more like torture episodes, either super boring and unnecessary or crazy and dramatic and this one is crazy and dramatic, they didn't have to do all that, like killing Joker and then making it all sentimental and shit, then putting that hideous cardboard version of joker and marrying Joker and Jack like that shit doesn't look goofy asf and out of a mental hospital, like be so fr. And then to top it off they add this cliffhanger at the end like stop edging us and give us a second season, which btw they probably won't even do, they'll AT MOST give us another episode or some shit and call it a day, and make it as confusing as ever. Because IVE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE. AND IM TIRED. I LOVE THESE 2 AND THEIR PLOT, I LOVED JACK AND JOKER BUT WHY IS THIS EPISODE SO ASSSSSSSS. It wasn't horrible, I liked the action, still waiting for the day Aran and Tattoo realize they LIKE each other and start dating!!!!! BEEN WAITING FOR THIS. And I need that peaceful happy ending for those 2, LIKE THEY CAN'T GET A BREAK! UGH! So yeah petition for season 2 because I won't rest until we get Aran and Tattoo together, and happy ending for Jack and Joker. Who's with me? Based on these reviews I think everyone. I'm done here (for now), I shall be back soon. Once season 2 or whatever is released.

I Hope The Law Of Gravity Pulls Me Away From Shows Like This

This show is honestly just a mess, it's very short which I love but the shortness of each episode being 20 minutes long and it having 8 episodes in total makes the storyline messier and unfinished mostly when they try to do sort of a slow burn type of thing, it just doesn't play together. The chemistry isn't there, it felt like the characters just caught feelings from one another in a second instead of it building. And this goes for both main and side characters, I liked the side characters better and wish I had seen more of their story in more detail. The ending was just so bad, it felt once again very unfinished, and let's not glaze over the literal SA happening at the last episode too. Everything is just so wrong in so many levels. But honestly it's a Chinese BL so it's very hard to come across good Chinese BL. Anyway this is a solid 6. The quality of the show isn't good plot wise and it felt very low budget.

Cute, Funny, Soft Show

I really liked this show, it had its funny aspects, sad aspects, and romantic aspects. Everything plays well, it's a very non-serious show but at the same time somewhat serious? I really like the whole story and how each episode has its little funny moments and it's not constantly depressing or serious all the time. Its definitely something worth watching if you just want something very chill, the plot wasn't crazy and it had its flaws, main flaw about the story that I just kept thinking about almost every episode was how Junior (Penguin) didn't feel hot like constantly, I mean he seemed to grow up in a cold environment so normally he would be used to the cold and be bothered by the heat, which is what we saw in the beginning, but afterwards he kind of just was ok with the heat and instead would feel cold at times too. Maybe he's one of those penguins that can adapt to different climates and adapted to the hot weather making him more prone to getting cold and feeling cold, but idk much about penguins, its just a silly thought that kept racing around my mind each episode. Anyway, I rate this show a 8.5/10 super quick fun watch, for once in a while I didn't feel like skipping through and watched till the end.

I Can't Stop Thinking About The Museum Statue

Before I direct my attention to the plot of this BL I just wanna talk about that statue, it's so powerful and beautiful the way it was made to speak so loud yet it will never say a word. I honestly don't know if its possible to see that statue irl but if there is you best believe that's going in my bucket list because I fell in love with how beautiful and powerful that statue is. But anyway, this BL is pretty good, I didn't have many high hopes in the beginning, I thought to myself "another predictable Japanese BL" and even though it is predictable, I was still hooked. The chemistry was really good, and the tension was there. I really liked the scenes where Sei and Hagiwara would be together. I also like how different this BL is from majority of JBL where the plot is very very similar, in this one it's about 2 guys who are basically being held from having intimate moments with people they love and are just basically craving a moment like that which is completely normal, I like how this show normalizes the fact that wanting to be sexually active even if its considered "a lot" for some people is completely normal, everyone has a different sex drive. But it also normalizes people who may not be ok with being as sexually active or being in the spectrum of asexuality. Both are so valid and understandable, but in this show these clash and it becomes a conflict, I think even though Kaori felt this way she still could've talked about it to Hagiwara and come to terms together as a couple, or maybe if she had things could've ended better, I do believe she could've handled this differently and could have been a bit less selfish. One thing that is still on my mind is the fact that Sei basically got TW TW TW TW TW (r*aped) by Fuji, they literally went past that like it was nothing and so did the characters, like this isn't something you wake up the next day and say "Im sorry" like hello? And the fact that Sei apologized to Fuji too... this whole "friendship" was just toxic. I noticed since I first started seeing them that Fuji 100% saw Sei as a possession he can keep rather than a best friend/lover. I don't get why hide ur feelings when Sei is obviously also interested in Fuji. I did not get that at all. And then Fuji has the audacity to get jealous over Sei being intimate with Hagiwara even though I'm sure for a while Sei has tried to do so with Fuji but he just kept refusing. Again it's giving possessive and toxic. I hope after Hagiwara and Sei have their little happily ever after, I hope Fuji never returns, because he's not a friend, he shouldn't be near Sei. But yeah, I'm glad this was a short BL, made it so much easier to watch, I do hate when theres like 8 episodes and the last one is a filler episode, but for this one I just had wished we had a couple minutes more seeing Sei and Hagiwara happier together. But regardless I'm satisfied knowing they got together at the end, I got scared when I saw there was like 3 minutes left and Hagiwara was deleting Sei's contact and everything I was like "OMG plot twist" but no hehe. I'm happy. I rate this 8/10

Super Cute

I really liked this show, I thought I wouldn't like it much but it was very cute and wholesome a lot of the times. Ofc it had its dark moments but at the end everyone got their happy ending and everything was good. I really liked every character and the couples, I love all the chemistry that was shown. I think for a show that was aired in 2023 it's not bad, I've seen worse made in 2024 or 2025. Ofc it has its flaws but they're honestly so easy to just ignore and still enjoy. I really like how realistic the characters are at acting like teenagers, mainly Kanghan, he was so back and forth with his decisions and sometimes they made no sense but that's literally how teens act mostly in very difficult situations that are hard to understand or process. I do wish we had seen more of certain actors like Guy and Nawa, I know we got some scenes with them but not until the end did they lowkey just confess and start dating, but I liked their enemies to lovers relationship. Another one is Saifah and Name, I can't tell if in the show they were trying to perceive them as possible lovers or just really good friends but regardless their relationship/friendship was really cute and I wish I had seen more. And lastly its Max and Auto, Pimfah and Napdao, I feel like these are also pretty confusing as to if they're were trying to perceive them as a couple or just really good friends, I think maybe Pimfah and Napdao were eventually gonna become more than friends but I'm not too sure about Max and Auto, I think they were just good friends but I repeat myself from another review I had made, I would love to see chubby characters main in a BL show or at least have a BL relationship even as a side character I feel like that would be so cute, they're always seen as the funny characters or being bullied etc. But we stay dreaming. Anyway, it was a nice show! I really enjoyed it and I recommend it.

Not Bad!

Okay so at first I was getting scared, I thought to myself “Oh god it’s gonna be bad” because it started off very slow, there wasn’t anything eye catching for me or anything that kept me wanting to watch more but I still gave it a try and continued cause I thought the story could be cute. Thankfully I was patient and continued watching, and it was worth it. The story got better, things escalated, we got shown more emotion, more chemistry, more drama, more action. The part that did it for me, and it just made me go “wow” was when in Episode 9 Jian Shao Peng’s mom collapsed and he was crying in the hospital while explaining how frustrated he is to Yang Zi Xiang, he showed the emotion of helplessness, sadness, anger and frustration so well in a couple seconds, literally amazing acting god. After that the story was very in the middle, we got some action but also cute moments or plain moments. I won’t say this is the best BL show ever, or the best Taiwanese BL show, obviously it lacks a bit, but it wasn’t bad either. I would fix a couple things or add/remove a couple things. I really liked the representation towards people who can’t hear, I really love shows who do that. But I feel like it was a bit over dramatic in some areas and also it felt like the background story of the characters had some holes mainly Yan Zi Xiang’s, I’m the type to not like super long background stories to the point I know every single detail ever, but I feel like for this one it was a bit necessary for some parts. But overall great short show to binge in a day. 7.5/10

Not Bad, But It's The Same Thing Every Time

I've noticed a pattern between all SUKFILM BL's, like Blue Boys, Bad Guy and now Seoul Blues, they all have a very similar plot and it doesn't help that the actors are always the same, now no hate towards the fact that the actors are always the same like I have watched many BL's with the same actors as other BL's but the problem I have with this is how similar the plot is and how nothing seems to change, it's always the same with the girl liking the main couple and getting hurt and then is never seen again for the rest of the show, or the ex coming back to stir some drama into the newly happy relationship, and they are always in the same places too, the cafes, the apartments, I guess with budget things are limited but once again no hate towards things that can't be preventable, I just need more creativity towards the story and characters personalities. I will admit this one was slightly better than Blue Boys and Bad Guy for some reason, I didn't get as bored or annoyed as the other 2 but I will still not rate this any higher than I rated the other 2 because it still lacks, and regardless of being able to see the effort they put in a lot of things and seeing the quality it has in the sense of cinematography, I will still have to give this a 7/10 for the listed things they lack. Regardless I'm hoping for improvement from them, and I hope the upcoming projects are better.

Mhm..Okay...

Honestly this wasn't much, I don't even know where to start with this because a lot is lacking and it could've been way better. I know this was short with 4 episodes each being 10 min or so, but when you know you have this limited time then you work with it and make it fit enough for it to not be/feel rushed, and if you have the ability to make the show longer so things are well paced then do so. Theres so much going on in such little time, everything moved way too fast and I disliked that a lot, also too much drama from the start, a lot of these shows same with Blue Boys start with a lot of drama and it ruins the entire plot, but even so the plot isn't even strong and the characters are not realistic. Ji Un is constantly giving in, like as soon as Tae Ha says to do something he does it, sometimes with no hesitation, he puts no fight and has no self control, while Tae Ha is a wreck himself, doesn't even know where he's going or what he wants so he just does what he wants as they repeated in the show over and over and over. Like yes, we get it, Tae Ha always does what he wants, but man ur literally letting him do so too. Like Ji Un can't complain when he's letting Tae Ha do as he pleases. Poor Ji Un tho he looked like he wanted to cry in every scene, I couldn't tell when he was happy or sad anymore. But idk just these things didn't fit well in the plot and the characters and it's also the fact I saw the Uncut version too, so I can't imagine what the cut version must look like. A lot of room for improvement, but we lowkey got nothing . Regardless production was great, just a lot with the whole plot and characters need a lot of improvement, also I know probably budget is tight with these but they always start at the same cafe and they're lowkey always in very similar/same places. It would improve to see changes in scenery, doesn't even have to be something to waste hundreds of dollars in, creativity is key in these things. Not hating just trying to give my thoughts. Other than that I rate this a 6.5/10, waiting to see improvement in future projects.

Blue Boys Pt.2 Thoughts

{Blue Boys }

I gave this show a second try (I only watched Pt.1). It’s been months since the second part got released and I spent $10 on the membership just to enjoy the full thing and take it all in. IDK why I did it, I just got the urge to (I need help).

My Thoughts On Blue Boys Pt.1

It’s honestly not much different with the membership, yes you get to see them kiss for longer periods of time and it’s more heart throbbing but the plot is lacking so much in so many ways that having them kiss for a minute longer doesn’t do much of a difference in enjoyment. I can say confidently that if this show had ended with only Pt.1 I would’ve rated it super low. Now as I write this review I haven’t watched Pt.2, so I can’t speak much about the overall rating and how much I enjoyed overall. But so far based on Pt.1, with uncut scenes, my rating is 7. I rated it a 6.5 before when it had come out but I think the longer scenes definitely make the ratings go a bit higher but not too high. So 7 is a perfect score for this part.

My Thoughts On Blue Boys Pt.2

This part was definitely more lively than Pt.1, but somehow I am now shipping Choi Jae Min with Tae Ha, idk they seemed like they could be a cuter couple. But regardless I glad this show had a happy ending, this part didn’t have much even with the uncut so that was a bit disappointing but it’s fine. I rate this one a 7 too, still lacking a lot and could have been better. I feel like they had the chance to do more with this part but kept it very mediocre and lowkey. It was ok.
