One of the most underrated BLs currently airing.
My Romance Scammer is easily one of the most underrated BLs currently airing. The actors are doing an incredible job bringing these characters to life—each one with their own agenda, motivations, and internal conflicts that slowly unravel as the story progresses.What makes this show stand out is the subtlety in the performances. The actors capture the smallest emotional details beautifully. Their inner struggles are clear without ever feeling over-the-top, allowing the character growth to unfold in a very natural and believable way.
The story does a wonderful job exploring characters who are stuck in situations shaped by their past, slowly coming to terms with the possibility of a better future. What may have started as a calculated plan toward happiness begins to shift as they realize that what they thought they needed may not actually be what they want anymore.
That journey of growth is portrayed in such a thoughtful way that viewers can easily see parts of themselves reflected in the characters. Maybe not in such dramatic circumstances, but everyone has experienced working toward something they thought they needed—only to grow and realize that what they truly wanted may have been there all along.
For me, this is one of the best shows of 2026 so far, and it deserves far more attention than it’s currently getting.

Huge Disappointment by GMMTV
Only Friends: Dream On is a huge disappointment compared to the first season. I’m honestly surprised and frustrated by the direction GMMTV chose to take with this installment. The chemistry and bold storytelling that made the original season so compelling feel noticeably toned down here.One of the biggest issues is the decision to cast actors who are then seemingly restricted from fully interacting in the kinds of adult situations the story implies. It ultimately feels like an injustice to the actors themselves. These performers have proven they are capable professionals, and limiting them in this way makes it seem as though the studio doesn’t trust them to handle the material.
The drama that was promised never really delivers. What should feel intense and emotionally charged often ends up lukewarm. Even Boston—who was such a strong and chaotic antagonist before—has been reduced to mostly implied moments that require very little actual on-screen development.
It’s disappointing because Only Friends had the potential to be an amazing franchise. Instead, the direction choices here feel overly cautious and end up limiting the actors’ performances, which does a disservice to the talent involved and to the fans who loved the original season.
