Toxic Story and Flawed character but must watch

Initially, I wasn't sure what to make of it and almost stopped watching after the first episode because I thought it would be confusing. However, I'm glad I persevered, as the story eventually clicked into place. If you're tempted to drop it early, I encourage you to keep going.

One aspect I appreciate about this series is its portrayal of flawed characters, particularly Ming. While some viewers might find his actions hard to accept, I think it's refreshing to see realistic, complex characters. Ming's journey from a place of hurt and possessiveness to one of growth and self-awareness is compelling. Yes, he crossed a line by hurting and locking up Joe, and being a bad and insulting boyfriend at first. This made some of the viewers tough to watch. But what's admirable is how he acknowledges his mistakes, apologizes, and works towards change.

It's also heartwarming to see Ming realize his true feelings for Joe, distinct from his earlier infatuation with Tong. The character development and emotional depth make My Stand-in a worthwhile watch. If you are not into toxic story then don't watch this. Surely you can't handle this. It's a heavy series and not light.

Filipino BL series that has fairytale vibes

As Filipino myself I like this series as it offers a unique glimpse into Filipino culture and family dynamics. One of the things that impressed me was the noticeable effort and budget put into the production – it's clear that the creators aimed to elevate the standard for Filipino BL series, which often face budget constraints.

The series has a fairytale-like quality, with vibrant visuals and a compelling narrative. If you're a fan of poor and rich couple you might enjoy this show. In addition, Ace and Sky, have undeniable chemistry, and their intimate scenes are passionate and authentic.

However, there were few nonsensical scenes involving villains.

Regarding the series' structure, I found it uninteresting that Season 2 shifted focus away from Ace and introduced a new love interest. While this change made the season less compelling for me, I understand that real-world issues between the actor Aki Torres (who played Ace) and the management might have influenced the creative decisions.

Despite this, I continued watching Season 2 because I became invested in the second couple, Fifth and Zeke. If you're interested in exploring Filipino culture and BL storytelling, My Day is worth checking out.

Funny, entertaining, cute, great coming of age BL series

Usually, I am not really into highschool or college setting BL series because I watched tons already and I'm sick of it but I give this a try because it made me curious when I saw the trailer.

That said, I thoroughly enjoyed 'I Will Knock You'! This BL series offers a refreshing take on teenage gangster life, blending cute moments, humor, and heartwarming scenes that kept me hooked. The characters' dynamic and interactions are genuinely endearing.

I think the series could benefit from exploring Noey's father's backstory – a glimpse into his life or fate would add another layer to Noey's character as it is not shown what happens to him, whether he is alive or dead. Initially, I found Thi a bit frustrating due to his passivity and cowardness especially every time Noey bullied him. It would've been great to see Thi stand up for himself more or, better yet, if the series started with them as enemies, with Noey's constant teasing pushing Thi to his limits.

Despite these minor critiques, I loved many aspects of the series including the cinematography - it's awesome. The OST, particularly the song about destiny, resonated with me – there's something about old-school tunes that hits home. Noey's stylist in this series deserves a raise! His vintage-inspired fashion, hairstyles, and even the gang members' looks are fantastic. It's adorable how Noey's style reflects his love for vintage things, from his clothes, movie choices to his trusty Nokia dumbphone in a world of smartphones.

Overall, 'I Will Knock You' is a charming series with great characters and style. I'd definitely recommend it to fans of BL and coming-of-age stories!

Amazing Ghost BL series

At first I find this series boring but don't give up yet until you progress to the next episodes, it becomes better. The storyline is unique, and the plot twists are fantastic. Although I'm not typically a fan of ghost stories, I was drawn in by the compelling narrative and the emotional depth of the characters. What makes this series stand out is the way it explores the relationship between the two leads, who are both alive but connected to a tragic family history.

One of the highlights for me was the portrayal of the intimate scenes, which felt authentic and natural. The chemistry between the couple is undeniable, and their interactions are genuinely captivating. Overall, I'd recommend giving this series a chance.

Main couple no chemistry

The overall storyline of My Engineer is quite good, but I felt that the main couple lacked intimacy and chemistry. From the beginning, their relationship felt a bit shallow, and I just couldn’t connect with their dynamic. In contrast, I found Boss and Mek much more engaging.

I also enjoyed the story of King and Ram, though I was disappointed that their relationship didn’t progress further. I heard there were plans for a second season, but sadly, it was cancelled.

If you're looking for a BL series filled with romance and passionate moments, this might not be the one for you. It seems the actors had certain limitations and were only able to do what they were comfortable with, which is completely understandable. However, even without explicit scenes, strong chemistry between leads can make a big difference. Unfortunately, I just didn’t feel that spark in the main couple.

Funny, cute, beautiful cinematography

I'm not sure why this series has a low rating. Personally, I really enjoyed it! The cinematography is stunning, and the beach setting is absolutely beautiful. While it may not be a typical BL series filled with lots of kissing or bed scenes, I appreciated the charm of the main leads, Prem and Boun.

I especially loved the character development of the main couple. Their journey from enemies to slowly growing attached and eventually realizing their feelings for each other was heartwarming. If you're expecting a BL that focuses heavily on physical romance, this might not be the one for you—but if you're into slow-burn connections and emotional growth, it’s definitely worth watching.

As for the second couple, I didn’t quite feel the connection with the main storyline. Their link felt distant, even though their fathers are close friends. That said, the fathers added a lot of humor to the series, and I really enjoyed their presence.

One standout moment for me was the monkey in the coconut tree throwing coconuts at Sun—it was absolutely hilarious! I have no idea how they got the monkey to do that, but it was such a fun and unexpected scene.

Overall, Even Sun is a light, charming watch with beautiful visuals and a cute storyline. Give it a try if you're in the mood for something different in the BL genre.

This is worth your time

I really love this BL series! It features one of the best hospital settings I’ve seen in any show. While Tin seems stuck in a time loop during the first few episodes and some scenes are repeated, I understand they were necessary to help viewers fully grasp the story.

Every episode is exciting, with no dull moments, and each character portrays their role exceptionally well.

The plot twist is unpredictable when Tin also dies in different time loops instead of Tol.

The only downside is the ending - kinda rush. It could be better if Tin and Tol would spend more time together (being a happy couple) or there is a sequel where they spend life together as a happy couple.

Nevertheless, I still recommend this series.

A BL Masterpiece in 2025 ✨

I honestly wonder why this series isn’t talked about much on social media. For me, it’s one of the best BLs of 2025 — I’d even call it a masterpiece. Love in the Moonlight reminds me a lot of To Sir, With Love. It’s a fast-paced, melodramatic show with multiple antagonists, centered on money and power greed, forbidden love, social expectations, and even homophobia.

I genuinely love historical dramas like this. Not everyone can pull off such a top-notch plot and production in this genre. Every scene has a purpose — there’s not a single moment that feels boring. Even though the episodes are long, they never drag. Each one is intense, emotional, and engaging. It’s the kind of series where you can’t wait for the next episode and you keep wondering what will happen next.

Of course, there’s a love triangle, but don’t judge too quickly — one of them is actually forced into marriage. The story focuses more on coming out and fighting for one’s true self rather than infidelity. As for the romance between Sasin and Saenkaew, they start off not getting along, but their bond and love develop naturally and beautifully.

Saenkaew’s secret might seem obvious, but the events that follow are far from predictable. And even though there are several antagonists, you’ll understand their motives and desires, which makes it hard to actually hate them. There’s also a bit of comedy — Inthorn and his wife are hilarious villains with all their sneaking and spying around.

Peak, Pearl, and Perth all delivered outstanding performances, and the supporting cast shined as well. Everything about this show feels carefully made, and you can really tell the production value is high. Set in the 1960s, the details are impressive — from the vintage houses, cars, trains, and outfits — it truly transports you to that era.

I also adored the original soundtrack. Every time the nightclub singer performed, it felt like I was right there in the scene. Speaking of the nightclub, I love how they made it a safe space for everyone, including LGBTQ — such a thoughtful touch.

If I could rate this series 10000/10, I definitely would. Overall, Love in the Moonlight is a well-crafted Thai BL with excellent production, talented cast, and perfectly chosen soundtracks.

Not Love at First Sight But It Grew On Me

I have to admit, the first few scenes didn’t really grab my attention. I actually found them a bit boring, so I dropped it. 😅 But after seeing so many positive reviews and comments about the series, I felt like I owed it another shot… and yep, I came crawling back. Lol!

Something in My Room follows the story of Phob, an adorable and charming ghost 👻 with amnesia, who asks for help from Phat, a young guy who seems to have his third eye open because he immediately senses something weird going on in the house from the moment they move in.

The series isn't just spooky, there are also some funny moments early on, especially when Phat starts seeing Phob and Phob starts messing with him through harmless little pranks. The writing and direction are solid, and the cinematography is really well done. The editing is smooth too. Nut, who plays Phob, totally nailed his role—he’s not only a great actor, but seriously, he’s so cute. One of those faces you could just stare at all day, no lie. 😍 Plan, who plays Phat, also did a great job. He kind of reminds me of Apo Nattawin with his visuals.

Now don’t get me wrong, I like both actors individually. But for some reason, I didn’t quite feel the spark between them. I don’t know… something just felt a bit off or missing. Honestly, I felt more chemistry between Phob and Ben. That said, I stuck around for the plot, which really intrigued me.

Though to be fair, the Phob-Ben storyline dragged a bit and felt too long. And the subplot with Luck didn’t really do it for me, it felt kind of disconnected from the main story. I also found the whole love-hate dynamic between Phob and his mom really heartbreaking. I felt so bad for Phob, no child deserves that. But at the same time, I get where the mom is coming from. She had her reasons, and she was just being honest about her emotions.

There were definitely parts that felt flat because of the slow pacing, but I still wanted to see how everything would unfold. Honestly, I think the show could’ve been better if the episodes were a bit shorter. Some parts felt dragged out, with lots of filler and long conversations without much happening.

Even though some people said the ending was sad, I was actually satisfied with it. That final reunion hit the spot after everything they went through. 💙

So if you're into slow-burn stories that have heart and meaning, Something in My Room is definitely worth a try.

Feel Good Drama With A Side Of Toothache

I saw a bunch of negative comments about Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist, but honestly, I didn’t pay much attention to them. I’ve always had a soft spot for rom-coms, so I gave it a try, and actually it's not bad and really liked the first episode.

STGD is super cute, lighthearted, and funny. It’s definitely one of those comfort series you can turn to when you're feeling down. The cinematography and color grading are also really charming.

Even though it’s mostly a rom-com, there’s a bit of drama mixed in, especially with Sant’s and Jway's sad backstory, which adds some emotional depth.

Now let’s talk about Mark and Ohm, their chemistry is off the charts. I could really see the connection between them. I know people say the series isn’t doing well, but I truly hope this pairing gets another chance. You can tell they gave it their all. I’ve seen Mark in supporting roles before and he always stands out, he’s a really talented actor. Same goes for Ohm.

Don’t get me wrong, I enjoyed the series, but I think they both deserve better writing. Still, Mark’s acting—especially in the jealousy scenes, is so good. The way he expresses emotions with his eyes, movements, and expressions says everything without overdoing it. Ohm nailed his role too. None of the acting felt cringey at all, and the pacing kept things from ever getting boring.

I know some viewers didn’t love Captain’s appearance in the later episodes, or how Sant kept pushing Jway away, but I actually didn’t mind it. The conflict added a bit of spice and made things feel more realistic. Jway finding little excuses just to be near Sant? Adorable.

I was laughing from start to finish. Sure, there’s a plot hole here and there, but it didn’t really bother me. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed STGD and I’d happily recommend it to anyone who just wants a feel-good, funny, and sweet series to unwind with.

CUTE IDEA BUT CRINGE EXECUTION

I didn’t watch the Japanese version of Ossan’s Love since I’m more into Thai BLs, but I did check out a few scenes and honestly, it didn’t feel as cringey as the Thai version. Right from the start, I found Earth’s acting a bit too much. It just didn’t land for me, and the humor felt forced. No hate, I actually love Earth in A Tale of Thousand Stars, but I think this role didn’t suit him. Maybe I’m just used to his more serious, emotional characters. Comedy might not be his strong suit, sorry Earth, haha!

As for Mix, his acting wasn’t terrible, just kind of flat. I dropped the series around episode 10 because I couldn’t really get into it anymore.

Would I finish the series? Maybe.. if I completely run out of shows to watch. But for now, there are way better BLs out there. This one’s at the bottom of my watchlist.

Too Many Characters, Too Little Plot

I gave Perfect 10 Liners a shot because of the high ratings and all the hype, but honestly, it didn’t work for me.

Yes, the show is light and funny in parts, but I had to **drop it halfway** through. The **huge cast and multiple couples** made it super overwhelming. I don’t mind ensemble series (*We Are* pulled it off beautifully), but here it just felt crowded and hard to follow. There are just *too many faces and too little substance*.

The **episodes are long**, and a lot of scenes felt like filler. It was dragging without really going anywhere, and I kept asking myself, “Where is this story even headed?”

Plot-wise? **Pretty standard**. Another university BL with engineering students, a cheesy setup, and **nothing new to offer**. I really hope future shows give us something fresh, maybe BLs set in law school or forensic science, just for a change.

Also, **ForceBook’s chemistry felt off** to me in this one. I love them individually, but together here it felt a bit... forced. Like, the emotional pull just wasn’t there.

In the end, the show didn’t have enough plot, uniqueness, or strong pairing to keep me hooked. Just not my thing.

It feels strange

I’m not used to watching vertical dramas, and when I tried this one, it really felt strange to me—maybe because of the way it’s edited. It seems like a lot of scenes and events were cut. It’s not that I don’t like the actors; I actually liked them in their other shows. But with this drama, I found myself cringing, and I didn’t feel any romantic spark between the main leads. I don’t think the issue is the vertical format itself, but rather the plot, the chemistry, and the execution. I’ll try watching other vertical dramas on iQiyi to see if I feel the same way.

I don't understand the hype

I dropped this series back when I watched Episode 1 because I found it cringey, but I ended up crawling back since I had nothing else to watch. It’s actually not the cringiest BL out there, so it was tolerable for me, but since there were so many good Thai BLs before, I never really prioritized this one. And now, I’m dropping it again at Episode 5. This series is just not for me. I can’t push myself to continue the remaining episodes.

The concept is slightly similar to 2gether: one lead is being bothered by a guy he’s not interested in, another guy comes in to “save” him, they get stuck in a situation where they have no choice but to pretend they’re a couple, and eventually, real feelings start to develop.

But this series didn’t hook me. Most of the scenes feel flat, and the writing is weak. The dialogues are boring and sometimes don’t even make sense. Teerak’s character is actually really nice, but sometimes he feels over the top—almost like he’s acting like a teenage girl at times. It’s not the actor’s fault, though; it’s more on how the character was written or directed. One of the actors also feels stiff with almost no emotion, expression, or life in his eyes—but to be fair, there’s always room for improvement. I hope he grows as an actor because he’s definitely easy on the eyes.

Another downside—and one of the biggest reasons I’m dropping this—is the excessive use of sound effects. It’s in almost every scene, even when it doesn’t fit. It’s not funny anymore; it’s just irritating. Why are some Thai BLs like this?
