This is turning into quite a delightful series. The leads have their own special chemistry from having worked together before, but Krapor, played by the inimitable JJ who provides the overacting most deftly, and Dr Pom, are terrific sidekicks as well. The sound effects are quite subtle for a change. The best scene was the one in the park with the cats. Thoroughly enjoyable.

The first episode was perplexing and the story, as such, was all over the place, though the main premise of the surprise relationship of Sara and Fu came through clearly. Settles down after that. They really are an adorable couple, presently my favourite (after the last couple that took my fancy, whoever they were). Taiga and his friend are rather nice too. Sara's imperious mother, on the other hand, reminds me of a mother in a previous series who also had a contract with her son to control him for the rest of his life (which I just discovered was the Thai version of this series that came out last year). I'm glad that Fu decided to accept Sara as his boyfriend, despite any reservations he had, and they began kissing in Ep. 3. I mean, how could he resist someone as handsome and caring as Sara? Long may their love survive.

At last, a Chinese BL series that's not all about money and business dealings, rather, a more conventional story set in a seaside town concerning a TV production crew making a reality TV show, with two gay couples in the making. Very likable so far, nothing heavy, proceeding at a reasonable pace as we get more invested in them. With four under 30 minute episodes per week, it'll all be over in another two weeks - short by most Chinese standards - but I'm not complaining. A pleasant change and easy viewing. I'm all for it.

Overly melodramatic, with an increasingly confusing, senseless plot that spirals out of control and ends with the introduction of a new character. Basically a mess.

You could say it was uplifiting. Here's a boy, beset by doubt but trying to do his best and eventually, with a new customer, succeeds.

I must say, there's very little happening in the way of plot or development, so I do hope it picks up pace soon or otherwise I'll have to downgrade my score even further.

An excellent series with possibly the best horror/supernatural elements in BL that I've ever seen, and definitely the most malicious ghost. Plot wise, it was all going well until we get to Bom and his father, who suddenly appear out of nowhere and dominate proceedings until they're overcome, then all too suddenly it switches to a hospital scene. There needed to be a few minutes more to tidy up things before the scene change. Pooh and Pavel together are exceptional; their closeness and feelings for each other make one think they are actually a real couple. 8.5/10 from me.

Off to a great start with this first episode. Tod and Time make an adorable couple, two guys who find out their girlfriend has been double-dating them, so they seek revenge on her by at first pretending they prefer each other, only to quickly realise they really like each other.

One would have thought that Jay saw a guy in a mask, and not just say the killer was a man. If he knows the killer is a man, he must remember he was wearing a mask.

Typical Chinese melodrama, all about money, family ties, saving a company, a forced wedding - and in the midst of this, two pretty boys who fall for each other and somehow end up falling into each other's arms. The only thing missing was a kiss.

Attractive cast. I rarely use the word for males, but Han Gyeol is certainly pretty. The story, as such, left me cold, it being very short and weekly, making sense of it all was difficult, not that it mattered much. The two leads were always going to end up happily together again.

Halfway through. I'm glad the series only has 10 episodes - more than enough for this story. All the characters have flaws, some more than others. One other thing: during the pool scenes, why were bubbles floating in the air?

Taken as a whole, even in this fantasy world where spirits interact with mortals, the idea that the main characters reincarnate twice and look the same over three lifetimes stretches credulity. It's understandable and fits in with the main narrative, but nevertheless... It was only because of this that Khun Yai and Kaweta were able to achieve happiness a second time.

Sophee was one of the most horrid and unforgivable females in any BL series to date. Having killed herself first time round after causing the death of Kaewta, she was just as repugnant in her second life and her demise by fire after committing murder was only fitting for one so self-centred and evil, so no third reincarnation for her; her spirit would have gone to the Thai equivalent of hell, known as Narok (นรก) or Naraka in Buddhism. (It is not a place of eternal damnation like the Christian concept of hell, but rather a temporary realm of suffering where souls are reborn to work off bad karma.)

Overall, at times the story did seem a little interminable. There were a few plot holes here and there, but it was the intense love that Khun Yai felt for Kaewta that carried the story through to the end, where it appeared that their love would begin all over again, but this time without the distraction and interference of Sophee. They certainly made a beautiful couple and everything was enhanced by the gorgeous cinematography, costumes and authentic period settings. I was only able to rate it 7.5 as I couldn't give it my usual 8.0.

Yes, there's a story... somewhere. It should become more apparent eventually.

Hmm, the comments below aren't very encouraging. However, I was rather taken with it. The acting, especially from Po, is subtle and expressive. He plays the part of a virgin who is keen not to be one anymore, while looking sweet and innocent, letting himself be devoured in the most seductive, sensual and enjoyable fashion by Sasom, which is quite an achievement. If this first episode is an indication of what is to come, it looks like we're in for a lot of soft porn.

As Don began driving in the rain and it became heavier, I wondered if there would be a car crash, and right on cue, there was. They're becoming increasingly predictable.

One of the best romcoms ever from GMMTV - sorry, GMM Thee V - from start to finish, it was simply marvellous in every way. The entire cast, the wonderfully clever script, the beautiful production, and the song Thee sang at the end were all basically faultless. It deserves the 9 rating.

Actually, it's not bad at all, quite watchable and fairly engrossing on the whole, though Irene and co denying that Phakin wasn't who he really is most of the time began to fray one's nerves, and it even took Natee until the last moments to believe he was his childhood sweethear, despite all the indications to the contrary that he wasn't a garbage collector but a CEO worth billions, and they both had the same name. Phakin had the patience of angels to put up with all of it. Nevertheless, true love wins out in the end, and that's what matters. (FYI: the two stars of this vertical movie were the stars of a previous one, Golden Feathers, from 2025.)

I think this is going to be almost as cute and endearing as School Trip. Wataru certainly wants to be more than friends but is quashing that feeling. As for MInato, we don't hear his inner thoughts, but I think he'd respond positively to any overtures; it's doubtful he'd instigate something first. Nevertheless, when they were parting 5 years ago, I think he was tempted to kiss Wataru but suppressed the desire. Who will make the first move?

Well, I'm glad I'm not the only one who isn't fond of Teh. There's something about him I just find off most of the time, and lying to both his brother and Jimmy that he's not into Fah makes him even less endearing. Fah, who was playing hard to get, did quite the about turn with Teh, so I'm glad those two are settling in for a secretive love affair. Jimmy, I quite like. I suppose he's lying to Teh that he likes Fah as a ruse so he can pursue Toh, and at last succeeded quite easily when he casually began kissing him, and Toh responded with fervour. Despite Teh's warning that Jimmy is a playboy, he seems to be genuinely into Toh and time will prove his feelings for him are sincere. I'm looking forward to Jimmy proving to Teh that he's not a playboy.
