Ep. 8 could be used as a standalone video for office workers facing the thorny issue of sexual harassment in what here is a unique situation with the added issue of a same-sex relationship within the workplace. All that needs to be explained before showing it is that the client, a woman CEO, made inappropriate advances to a male sales rep who rebuffed them, which annoyed her.

Kudos to the boss for not being homophobic, however, his concerns about personal relationships within the workplace have merit, but to keep his job, Karan had to reach an almost impossible sales target and for that, he needed the contract from the same woman CEO. At the meeting where the contract was to be signed, Karan brought along Ashi as his assistant but in reality for moral support. Before the signing, she wanted their boss to be present and upon his arrival, said it could only be signed if Karan kneeled in front of her and apologised. Ashi put his hand on Karan's arm and said he shouldn't but Karan nevertheless moved to do it then the boss told Karn to rise; he had effectively drawn the line at blackmail and public humiliation, and rightly so. The CEO stormed out in a huff. The boss, in turn, said he didn't want to do business with people like that and tore up the contract.

This is ethical and moral leadership in its finest form. Karan could remain at the company and Ashi wouldn't have to resign in solidarity with him. Everything else is secondary but I'm sure viewers would also relate to the insecurities of Jinta who can't bring himself to confess his love for Min who appears to be more attached to Jinta's cat, Madame Noi. It's an easy watch to learn a lesson from an unexpected source - an episode from a Thai BL series - and HR in companies anywhere should consider using this video as a resource for their staff.

Sogo is bland, boring, a nerd. I don't know what Sakae sees in him though he's not unattractive. To fall in love with someone because they enjoy the food cooked for them is just plain ridiculous. Then there's the question if Sogo is gay, which at this stage is unlikely - he's more the asexual type at the moment. Nevertheless, Sakae declares his love for Sogo and is happy for him to think about it before committing himself. We've just been introduced to an ex of Sakae who will make waves and spice up the storyline. That is a welcome development.

Basically because the show is quite terrible.

It's been on KissAsian since the series began and it just moved to a new website ending .hu. I can use easily it with the first two servers but the other usable ones (StreamSB and Doodstream) need a VPN. I use a free one called Proton VPN but it has to be set to Japan, Netherlands or USA (known ones), otherwise you need to Upgrade (i.e. pay for it). Hope this helps.

This was one of the better stories in My Universe which began unpromisingly and improved once Pond and Marvin met again and decided they needed each other in their lives. From there, with the limited time Marvin had left due to his medical conditions, they both had happy moments together and Pond did his best to make sure to do what he could for his friend. The ending was a bit abrupt and needed a few minutes more to smooth out and make sense of what Pond experienced with the help of his mirror though it was probably a good idea not to let it become maudlin.

As it wound its way towards the end, the writing and story became messy and confusing. That Night and Dream would end up as boyfriends came as no surprise, by which time the romance had sort of disappeared and it was just left for Night to come to his senses and be more self-assured, for Dream to realise he had and for them to accept the inevitability of them being together, though there was not even the hint of a kiss when that happened. All in all, a bit of a yawn.

Great plot twist with Charlie! Also loved the scenes with Jeff and Alan. What's going on with Pete and Kenta is a battle of wills and ultimately good versus evil concerning Tony leaving their friendship in the balance. Finally, there is Way and whether he will redeem himself.

I have watched every episode so far and the more I watch, the less I feel it has much of anything to offer and is certainly not taking off. For all the sex and the mystery of the missing twin, I find it all a bit dreary without any excitement or much momentum and find it a bit of a struggle to maintain my concentration and understanding of what is going on with all the characters and their complex relationships, none of which are really happy. I'll be glad when it's all over.

There's much to be said for a romance with a strong storyline that tugs now and then at the heartstrings and finishes in a way that makes one happy and content. As such, it was one of the top series of 2023 (not a particularly good year for Thai BL in my opinion), with superb acting from the leads and an excellent support cast. A great series and one not to be missed.

Well, there's an hour I won't get back. Lots of stuff going on but it amounts to very little.

For me, this was sweet, charming and gentle, perhaps a little innocuous. Still, the writer and the chef, one cute and babyfaced, the other taller, older and moustachioed, both smitten with each other, made an adorable couple. Look out for the lead couple from You Are Mine in the last episode.

Aside from Karan and Achi, I'm looking forward to when Jinta removes his inhibitions and opens up to Min (who I agree is the cutest) so we get to see a full-on romance.

What has happened to Thai BL lately? Where's all the fun, froth and silliness that used to permeate these series? So many are too serious, have unlikeable characters who are frequently miserable, and the storylines drag along sluggishly, becoming boring and dull. This series is a case in point where all those traits are present.

Haven't watched it yet but I think the comparisons are wrong - it has overtones of « Be My Favourite » with going back to the past to try and correct something.

As usual, I opted to wait until Episodes 21 & 22 were available. The first, which sets up the story, is slightly more interesting than watching a flowing river. One boy has hired another boy to go birdwatching with him in a national park without a mobile signal for a few days. Coupled with wooden acting and too many flashbacks, we find out the two boys had trouble with their respective female partners and spend most of their time questioning each other in an attempt to understand who they're with. There is little chemistry between them.

The second episode replays the last 7 minutes of the previous one before getting underway, where we find that the two girls have followed the boys to the same park and have fallen for each other and the boys soon realise what they have done. Much discussion ensues between each pair. The girls regret what they've done then they all leave.

So where was the BL in this? It was basically absent. In the course of their time together, Pai touches Third every so often, warming towards him, so by the end, we can infer that they've both left their girlfriends and may perhaps test the waters to see if they really 'like' each other.

All in all, this was one of the weakest episodes of the anthology.

After watching the first episode I debated with myself whether to continue watching and decided I would, gradually warming more and more to this over-the-top romantic escapade with an MC who is one of the least romantic main leads I have ever seen but who carries his manic role with conviction as we follow his rocky love life from happy solitude to suddenly becoming the object of desire from two men and one woman until he finally ends up with the man he loves. It may not be to everyone's taste but it is often funny, has a terrific cast, is well-written and keeps one enthralled to the very end. Above all, it has a lot of heart. Go along for the ride. It's well worth it.

That's funny. I haven't seen it yet. As it's only 3 eps, I might wait until they're all available.

Did they kiss each other on two separate occasions or was it the fevered imagination of one of them? I'm not sure. BL series these days have a habit of letting a scene play out and then immediately doing it again with a different outcome so you have to assume the first one was in the imagination, at least, that's how it appears to me. What do you think?

Okay. You're following it much better than I am. There are too many characters, they're all doing so much in so many scenes it's difficult to keep up and remember what they're all doing. You also have to be invested in them, which I'm not. I made my comment about these two after that lovely scene and not remembering any of the other stuff.
