Too Many Flashbacks, Slow Pacing, and Excessive Product Placement
I found the beginning of the series interesting, even with a premise that feels a lot like fanfic. I enjoyed getting to know the characters up until episode 4, but from that point on, the pacing became slow and repetitive. The flashbacks and nightmares started to get tiring, and the plot didn’t seem to move forward. I was expecting more action and suspense, but I ended up watching a slice of life about a traumatized boy who didn’t want to go back home. On the other hand, I liked Ohm’s new ship; they have great chemistry and deserved a better-written storyline. Additionally, the excessive and poorly integrated product placements in the series made the experience even worse.Was this review helpful to you?
Many Product Placements
First, I want to mention that I had already watched the original version before seeing this one, so it was really hard not to compare.The first issue for me was the excessive amount of product placements. GMMTV series usually have this problem, but some manage to integrate the product placements well into the show. Unfortunately, this series, like "Kidnap," goes overboard and the product placements end up taking too much focus.
Another problem was the unnecessary dragging of the story. The plot is simple and didn’t need 12 episodes of 50 minutes to be told. Japan, for example, managed to do something similar in a much shorter time. Here, the story drags on, with a lot of screen time given to the secondary couple, which honestly, I think very few people were really interested in seeing.
The performances also didn’t help much. It’s hard not to compare it to the original, and in this case, the acting in the original is much better. I really like Fourth and Gemini, but I think they still need to improve their acting. On the other hand, I think Mundee was well played.
The biggest positive point of this series is definitely the kisses, which were pretty lacking in the original version.
To sum it up, it’s a cute drama, without many big twists, and I believe it will be really enjoyed by fans of My School President, especially by those who haven’t seen the original. However, the excessive product placements and the unnecessarily stretched-out story hurt the pacing of the show.

A Pleasant Surprise: Chemistry, Action, and Captivating Characters
This drama surprised me in the best way! I started watching with two positive expectations: the presence of YinWar, who won me over in En of Love: Love Mechanics, and an interesting premise. The pacing of the story is excellent, with something engaging happening in every episode, which keeps boredom at bay.Even with few romantic scenes, the chemistry between the characters is undeniable. The plot develops in a way that keeps you curious to see where it’s headed. The dynamic among the friends is also really fun and natural. I was especially impressed with the performances of Mark Siwat and Pee. They truly stood out! Pee, in particular, was a pleasant surprise since I didn’t even know he was in the series. I’ve been wanting to see him in a good BL since YYY because I find him super charismatic and a great actor.
If I had to point out a downside, it would be the underdevelopment of some characters and relationships that deserved more depth, like Boss and his sister (and their past), the 4 bosses, Rose, the guy who wanted to marry her, as well as Carbon and Toi Ting. There was so much potential to explore these stories further.
Another highlight is the fight choreography, which is really well-executed and filmed clearly, making it easy to follow every move. You can tell there was a lot of care and refinement put into these action sequences.

A Fun and Heartfelt Surprise
The movie starts off a bit cheesy, but it quickly proves itself. It’s full of humor, exciting action scenes, charismatic characters, and—above all—a beautiful message about acceptance. A story that will make you laugh, get emotional, and leave you with a warm heart.It's so refreshing to see a queer supernatural action-comedy film. Here's to more movies like this!

Great Action Scenes
A special episode that feels more like a movie. The story really hooks you and keeps you curious from start to finish. The fight scenes are great — super well choreographed.What kind of takes me out of the experience, both in the series and now in this special/film, are the supernatural elements. The crime/police side is so well done that the supernatural stuff feels a bit unnecessary… but I get it, it’s part of the show’s core.
Oh, and just a side note: Yai is so hot. What a man! haha

All Sky, No Storm — A Cute BL That Barely Takes Off
Your Sky is the kind of BL you just want to hug. Everything about it screams "adorable": the main couple is sweet, the romantic moments are gentle, and visually, it's the kind of comfort show made to warm your heart.The show's strongest point is its beginning — the fake dating plot, the character who can’t say “no,” and the persistent third wheel who just won’t take the hint. It starts off with promise and a light tension that keeps things engaging. The BL teases deeper emotional layers, but never quite dives in.
As the story progresses, it slows down a lot. The slow burn here is really slow — almost to a halt. There's a lack of strong conflict or gripping twists to hold attention.
The secondary couples are fine, but don’t leave much of an impression. The main couple, though, holds the show together with charm and great chemistry. You can’t help but root for them.
Also worth mentioning is the protagonist’s sister — she’s a standout. Charismatic and fun, we definitely want to see her in future series!
The climax involving the father and the typical “episode 11 tragedy” feels more like a script requirement than a genuine high point.
Conclusion:
Your Sky is like a pretty dessert with not much filling. It charms with softness and sweet characters but could have had more impact as a shorter, tighter story. It’s an adorable BL that nearly drifts into dullness — but still worth watching for fans of gentle romance and likable leads.
And I agree with the other reviews about Teerak's childish behavior, which made the NC scenes quite uncomfortable

Too Many Ads and a Bad Script, but a Couple with Chemistry
Sweet Tooth Good Dentist has a lot of problems. The script is weak, the characters are uninteresting, and the constant product placement is incredibly annoying. The ads are inserted in such an obvious and forced way that they completely disrupt the flow of the story.It's surprising (and disappointing) that this story comes from such a well-known nóvel writer — the same one behind 2gether. I expected much more. The plot goes nowhere: it's a repetitive cycle of going to the dentist, coming back from the dentist, over and over again, without any real development. There's a small conflict involving Jimmy’s character that shows some potential, but it quickly gets lost in the overall dullness.
The supporting characters don't add much; they're generic and forgettable. However, the main couple is the highlight of the series. They have great chemistry and deliver solid performances, even with such a limited script. You can tell they gave it their all, and they definitely deserve another series — with a better story.
In the end, Sweet Tooth Good Dentist is slow, repetitive, and poorly written. The cast's effort wasn’t enough to save a series that fails at the most basic task: telling a good story.

Too Much Drama for Too Few Episodes, But It’s a Good BL
A BL where everything happens by coincidence — in other words, it's all plot-driven and forced. But thanks to the charisma of the characters and actors, it ended up being a good BL. The leads have great chemistry. Even though Phumjai is pretty annoying with his obsession over Tammy, I still managed to like his character.For me, the main issue is the need to create drama where there didn’t need to be any — the characters just needed to say what had to be said. This kind of conflict caused by poor communication is extremely frustrating. We get six episodes of Phumjai talking only about Tammy, and then two episodes of total chaos with an ending that makes no sense.
Another thing that really bothered me was the excessive product placement in such a short series. So, I’d say what saved this show were the actors, who are genuinely very good.

Did I understand everything? No. But even so, The Sign is a BL worth watching
The story stands out for being different: it starts off with a Chicago PD-like vibe — crime, investigation, tension — but soon introduces fantasy elements like supernatural beings and parallel worlds. From that point on, I found myself both confused and intrigued.One of the series' strongest points is its cinematography. Visually, it's impressive, with high production value. The special effects are a mixed bag — some scenes look great, others are just okay. But let’s be fair: we can’t expect HBO-level effects here. That said, it's definitely a step up from the fantasy creatures in The Untamed.
The main couple has strong chemistry, which helps keep the viewer engaged even when the plot starts to lose focus. The supernatural storyline is unique and creative, but personally, I preferred the more realistic parts of the series. At times, the show becomes repetitive, relying too heavily on flashbacks and plot points that are recycled too often, which makes some episodes feel a bit dull.
In summary, The Sign starts off intriguing and visually compelling, supported by solid production and charming leads. However, the overuse of repetition and a somewhat scattered storyline can detract from the overall experience. Still, the effort and commitment to maintaining a high production quality are evident and commendable.

Jack & Joker: U Steal My Heart! Special Episode

Only watch this episode if a second season has already been confirmed
It’s a very well-made special, just like the rest of the series, but completely unnecessary since it makes the story sadder. What surprised me was that I thought it would be impossible for them to take this direction. But since they had the courage to do it, why the post-credits scene? A second season? What guarantee do we have that it will actually happen?If they’re going to mess with the series like this, it would have been better to just leave it alone.
And at this point, that secondary couple still isn’t making any progress—it’s getting tiresome.
And seriously, what was that cardboard cutout? It completely ruined the emotional weight of the scene. During the wedding, was he actually holding onto the cutout? At this rate, next season he’ll be in a mental institution.

Realistic and deals with important topics
What a well-made BL! A realistic BL that addresses important topics and has great cinematography. My lower rating reflects only my personal taste, which isn't for more realistic stories, as technically I find the production very well done. Highlight to Mixx and First, who had great scenes. And of course, to the young couple, who were very cute to follow. I found it very good how they addressed several important topics in a responsible and realistic way.Two scenes struck me in distinct ways:
* The scene of Khao's character's conversation with his mother on the couch about him being gay.
* And, in a comical way, the scene of the uncle saying to his nephew: "In addition to being poor, you have to be gay?" Hahaha

Very cute slice of life
This BL follows the daily life of the naive freshman Tenshin and the serious senior Takara. It's a light drama, without major plot twists, that warms the heart. The characters are very well-developed and the relationship between their opposite personalities is adorable. The cinematography is beautiful and the actors deliver great performances (in addition to being very handsome). My only negative points are personal preferences: Tenshin's almost childlike naivety and his somewhat whiny way of speaking bother me a bit. Also, the drama's pace, focused on everyday life, can be a bit slow at times.Was this review helpful to you?
Cute and with a Unique Plot
A very well-made drama with a story quite different from what we're used to. Highlight for the special effects and the secondary characters – they deserved a story of their own!I thought that, due to the number of episodes, everything ended up being a bit rushed and somewhat confusing, but it's just a detail. Overall, the experience was very good! The drama reminded me of the game Miside, but without the horror part.
And, to be quite honest, I think the perfect name for this BL would be that of another BL: Semantic Error!

It's Not Worse Only Because It's Short
From the start, I watched this BL with low expectations, influenced by the comments. On top of that, I was already hesitant because it's a bilingual drama, which rarely works well (as was the case with Peach of Time). Unfortunately, my intuition was right. The plot is weak, many scenes are cringeworthy, and for such a short drama, too much time is wasted on irrelevant moments that add nothing to the story.The Korean actors in the main cast seem to have potential for other BLs, but the script doesn’t do them any favors. Mew, for example, comes across as a bad actor here, which doesn’t match his real ability. Also, maybe I missed something, but the title mentions a cat, yet there isn’t one in the drama.
In the end, it's not a total disaster. The cinematography is good, the costumes are decent, and the cast is talented. However, the script is terrible, and the only saving grace is that the short runtime prevents it from being even worse. A disappointment for Mew's fans who had high hopes for this BL.

An intriguing film that tackles an important issue.
The story is told from three perspectives on events in a young boy's life. It is a "simple" film, but precisely because of this raw approach, it creates several moments of tension and suspense. I believe that knowing the film's central theme in advance took away much of the element of surprise for me, which slightly affected my experience. Despite this, it was precisely the theme that made me interested in watching the film.I would like to highlight the children's performances, which are outstanding. Overall, it is a great film with multiple messages about different aspects of life, a good pace, and intriguing moments.
