Nothing but negativity in all the comments I've read. It's not that bad. I can understand why Tiu wants to break up with Guy so that he doesn't get caught up with people like Kenji anymore, but I doubt that will stop him because he's just a psychopath and if he does get hold of Guy again, Tiu will once more come to the rescue. How a knife to the stomach didn't kill him is just implausible. Next we see Nami, Wahl's girlfriend, break up with him and Wahl later finds Guy at the aquarium where they look at each other with dove eyes. Will Wahl kiss Guy? I doubt it. Everything is at a crossroads.

I was initially put off by all the negative comments but after watching Ep. 1 I find it's not that bad apart from the manic performance of Jade with all his screaming and exaggerated reactions to everything in an office romance which is filled with a cohort of impossibly cute guys most of whom appear to be gay. It's a bit silly so far but I'm sure things will calm down soon and improve on most levels.

This episode in particular has come in for a lot of criticism and deservedly so, the most ludicrous being the disappearance of Zeke and nobody having a clue where he might be, despite the fact he headed back to Manila in order to reunite with Fifth while driving during stormy weather and none of them thought of ringing the hospital to see if he was there. So there they are - his mother, Fifth and Kevin, still beside themselves with worry in Part 4 until her phone rings with the news that Zeke is in the ICU. She doesn't ask why, they all rush there and sob while looking at the unconscious Zeke through a glass window, even Kevin who had been berated for causing all of Zeke's problems and been told to disappear for good.

Then there's the situation with Jelai and Jerome. How Jelai permitted himself to remain in such a toxic relationship for the time he did while suffering the consequences and did nothing to fight back or just leave is beyond me, but suddenly he's free and there they are sitting down, talking amicably, and Jelai telling Jerome he's a good person. Just ridiculous.

Finally, Jason and Oliver. While the two of them were briefly together, the sex they had was mutually enjoyable, but Oliver was more concerned about his image with his friends, so he turned on Jason and showed that he was just a dickhead. Fortunately, Jason has Joel, his BFF by his side, and they plot revenge for Oliver's cruel and nasty behaviour.

It all comes to an end next week. Apparently, Zek's spine is damaged. There won't be the traditional happy ending if we find that Zeke is permanently paralysed and has to use a wheelchair - that will impair his relationship in a carnal sense with Fifth, but you never know what the writers have in store.

Poor Sprite. No wonder he's not looking well and not performing up to par - he's training for two different and physically exhausting sports. Meanwhile, Zee remains a sourpuss and unappreciative. There's too much training and too little romance. Sam rebuffed the advances of Thun and Sprite stole a kiss from First is the extent of the BL content in this episode. I'm beginning to yearn for the standard university BL series.

I've just watched the first two episodes back to back and quickly arrived at the opinion that Last Twilight is the best of the new batch of BL series and what makes it so, apart from a storyline that hasn't been used before, is the coupling of Jimmy and Sea following their first outing together since Vice Versa. Their acting has also improved but what makes it special is their undoubted chemistry - they are just so good together. This is also the second series of recent memory that references The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry but here, the selected passages reflect what's happening, just like the lyrics of songs do. I'm glad the getting to know each other and forming a bond has been achieved so that we can look forward to lots of fun and intimate moments.

Shame about Friends Forever - it began well enough then the second half was not only badly written but consisted of far too many flashbacks. The character of Jay turned from cute and nice to unhinged and a murderer very quickly. How did the police get notified and arrive so quickly to take him away? Pun's friends are shattered by his untimely death and still mourn him 3 years later when they attend another award ceremony at the same venue where he was murdered, then it gets ludicrous when they decide to see if they can summon his ghost, so after a brief improvised ceremony on the rooftop, he appears in bodily form for a brief period before shimmering back to the afterlife. That most if not all of the friends on his team are also gay is too much of a coincidence. All in all, it could have been a lot better.

Most versions of Ep. 8 are so corrupted it is impossible to watch. I searched around and found an uncorrupted one on GCINEE using Server 2, but it is divided into four parts. As usual with GCINEe, it's a bit fussy getting it up but persist anyway. As to the episode itself, how the adult Ongsa met himself at the same age just before the accident, which they talk about, defies explanation. One just has to go with the flow and wait for the story to continue.

I can only describe this episode as inconsequential, another couple of days in the life of Venus and Sky. They still love each other. At least it was short.

The Japanese may not produce the volume of BL series in the numbers of them or the length of episodes that we see in Thai BL series, but they make up for it in the quality and originality of the story, the writing and the acting. So it is with One Room Angel where we have two guys who meet by chance and gradually develop feelings for each other, a tale we've seen time and time again, but somehow I feel that the way the Japanese do it is more organic, if that's the right word, than the Thai versions. Koki is tall, a bit plain looking, somewhat of a loser and has a fairly glum personality, whereas the angel is younger, smaller, fairly cute and has a warm and engaging personality, yet because of the unique circumstances that brought them together with the added distinction that only Koki can see and hear the angel, their growing fondness for each other brings an extra warm element to the romance, but I'm in no way prepared for what I expect will be a very sad ending, though so far it's been fairly light and even humorous at times. Only two episodes to go!

All in all, I found this a delightful series, tropes and clichés notwithstanding and which didn't concern me in the slightest. The two leads had great chemistry and played off each other really well. The President's bark was worse than her bite; she had to come around for the sake of the company. Thank goodness for the post credit scene which brought it all together nicely for the two of them to have the life together in wealth and comfort as they deserve, celebrated with a long, loving kiss.

After watching Ep. 3, I increased my score from 8.0 to 8.5. Depending on how the series ends, I think a second series would definitely be in order.

This has quickly become one of the better offerings for 2023. Each character is vividly drawn. I know Meen and Ping were first seen together in Ai Long Nhai which I enjoyed but this is altogether different except for the fact in both series Meen falls for Ping and eventually Ping falls for Meen, with Ping as the gangsta Tew and Ping as the gentle student Guy, torn between his secret love for the possessive, controlling and straight Wahl and his new friend Tew, who he has just learned is in the mafia, which sounds worse than it is. Despite this unsavoury fact, the Tew guy knows and likes is gentle, caring and protective, so he will quickly have to weigh up whether it impedes falling in love with him. Tul, who works for Tew, has already noticed that he has a soft spot for Guy (I mean, who wouldn't; he's adorable) and on the occasions they've had close eye contact, the sparks fly between them and Tew, being rather reserved in nature, is holding himself back from sweeping Guy into his arms and kissing him, mainly because he knows about Guy's unrequited love for Wahl, who is doing his best to break up their friendship. I can hardly wait for the next episode and it must be one of the few Thai series that doesn't give us a preview.

It's an app AND a website (which I use and Chromecast to my TV for better vision and sound) but it's best if you sign up (free). I Can't Reach You is JBL. The two boys, childhood friends, are adorable and go through a lot of internal angst before realising they both love each other.

Now complete on Bilibili.

The couple that appealed to me the most was Janus and Bomb. As for the main couple, I found Venus to be objectionable for over half the series and for the life of me I couldn't see why Sky was so smitten with him, so when they finally decided to become boyfriends, it did seem a little manufactured, after which their love for each other began to look more real, though even with the NC scenes in the final episode, I wasn't entirely convinced and tbh I've seen better overall chemistry with a host of other couples elsewhere. Even though it was only 10 episodes, they were too drawn out and would have benefited from substantial cuts. I could only give it 7/10.

I was sort of bowled over when it turned out to be a film within a film, but the romance between Camp and Talay, very rocky from the start and only became a thing near the end, kept you wondering if it was ever going to get there. Talay, older than Camp by a few months and taller, displayed a certain concern and affection for Camp throughout their ghostly experience and let Camp's brusqueness pass without letting it get to him. It has to be remembered they reconnected through a dating app but their history with June got in the way of real feelings for each other developing sooner until the climactic scene where the internal film ended. The way this two-parter was put together mixed real life and horror/fiction into a cohesive plot, which was clever in a way. I liked those two young boys and I hope we see them together again in a future production.

I loved everything about this series that kept me glued to the screen as I watched each episode, but I have to say that after Jom read Khun Yai's letter on the back of his drawing, his sudden appearance was the most unconvincing time travel from 1928 to the present I have ever seen, heartwarming and needful as it may be to close this chapter on their extraordinary love affair. Let's hope Series 2 explains better how Jom travelled even further back in time to meet Khun Yai the warrior, now sporting an awful black moustache. In the meantime, there's going to be a special episode: see https://www.bilibili.tv/en/video/4789091729670144?bstar_from=bstar-web.ugc-video-detail.related-recommend.all for the trailer.

1) When Gu and Tew left the restaurant, they left the strawberry cake behind.
2) The more I see of Wahl, the less I like him and the way he seems so possessive of Guy and jealous that he's found another friend. I predict Wahl is going to be nothing but trouble as the series progresses. The bit after the end credits explains how Wahl was able to find Guy with Tew. If there's a standoff between Tew and Wahl, I think Tew will win.

I think it's highly unlikely Guy will talk sense into Wahl - he's not the sort to be confrontational, but I agree with you about Wahl, he is as someone else said, a walking red flag.
