A Refreshing Take On Second Chances

I really love the concept of this BL drama — it’s honestly a breath of fresh air. We rarely get stories where exes are the main characters, and using a reporter/media angle instead of the usual office or university setup we've seen hundred times. It’s not something you see all the time in BLs, which makes The Ex-Morning stand out.

The Ex-Morning tells the story of ex-lovers Phi and Tawan, who unexpectedly cross paths and end up working together — slowly rekindling the feelings they once had for each other. The plot is pretty straightforward, but it keeps you curious — like, what really happened between them? Why did they break up? It gives you that nosy feeling like you just have to know their past.

The first few scenes already felt grounded and real, and I had a feeling from the start that this series would keep me hooked. I’ve loved KrisSingto since SOTUS, but when it comes to reviews, I don’t let bias cloud my judgment. What matters to me is the storyline and how much I enjoy it. Of course, good acting is a bonus — and thankfully, The Ex-Morning delivers on that too. I was pulled in right from episode one.

There weren’t any sweet scenes at the start — they really acted like actual exes. Their constant bickering is kind of adorable. And the way they look at each other? You can tell there’s still love and care lingering between them.

Though, I do think episode 8 felt a bit off — the scene where someone secretly takes a photo of them hugging and it spreads online felt unnecessary and kind of cliché. It didn’t really add much for me.

That said, everyone plays their roles well. Kris as a reporter fits the part, and Singto once again proves he’s a versatile actor. The pacing is just right — it doesn’t drag at all. I won’t go too deep into the chemistry because, let’s be real, it’s obvious how electric they are together. And whoever styled them seriously deserves a raise — their outfits are on point every episode.

Visually, the show is stunning. The cinematography, color grading, and the soundtrack all come together beautifully. Don’t let the negative reviews turn you off — most of them just nitpick without seeing the bigger picture. Overall, this series is definitely worth watching.

80% Action, 20% Romance

The Bangkok Boy is a gritty, emotionally loaded BL series that dives into some pretty dark themes. It’s a mix of action, crime drama, and a bit of romance sprinkled in—and honestly, I enjoyed it a lot since I’m a sucker for this kind of show.

That said, I couldn’t help but notice that Tape, the main lead, looked a bit too old to be playing someone who's supposed to be 18/21. Still, he nailed the role. His acting was raw and convincing, and the fight scenes were really well done. The chemistry between the leads is definitely there, although I wasn't a fan of the NC scene—it felt way too rough for my taste 😂. The GL couple also had amazing chemistry, and the entire cast really brought their A-game, even the villains. Special shout-out to Aion—he gave a consistently solid performance all throughout.

I also have to give props to Top. I’ve seen him in Every You and Every Me, where he played a more feminine character, and here he pulled off a more masculine vibe effortlessly. He’s clearly a versatile actor who can carry both ends of the spectrum really well.

Now let’s talk about Peace’s dad—he seriously got on my nerves. Always twisting things to control everyone around him, even his own sons. Episode 10, in particular, was the hardest one to watch emotionally.

I appreciate that the series stayed serious and didn’t throw in any out-of-place comedy. Don’t get me wrong, I love shows like KinnPorsche or Joke & Joker too, but in this case, the serious tone really worked in its favor.

Production-wise, it’s top-notch. The cinematography, color grading, set design, and sound? All impressive. It actually reminded me of Jack & Joker in terms of visuals and quality.

Now, if you're in it purely for the romance, you might feel a little let down. The love story between Sun and Peace doesn’t really develop until around episode 8. It’s more of a subplot, but I liked how their bond grew naturally—even though it felt almost impossible in the violent world they lived in. There wasn't a lot of warmth or typical couple moments between them, but I guess that was intentional, considering the darker tone of the story.

If you're after for a full-on BL romance, this might not be your thing. But for me, I’m satisfied with how it wrapped up—even though the ending left us hanging. Hopefully, that means season 2 is on the way.

Realistic, Nostalgic And Beautiful

My Only 12% is such a beautiful series. Everything about it: from the casting and acting to the direction, cinematography, and OST, it's just chef’s kiss. I honestly can’t believe I ignored this for so long, thinking this was just another typical high school BL full of clichés. But it’s so much more than that.

The story is actually set in the mid-2000s, maybe around 2006 to 2008 since Cake uses an old desktop and they both have flip phones. That little detail made it feel really nostalgic. It took me back to a simpler time, before smartphones and social media took over.

I absolutely loved Cake and Eiw’s friendship. It’s funny, wholesome, and so relatable. They’re always teasing and messing with each other like real teenagers. Cake’s goofy and playful personality brings a lot of charm to the story, while Eiw’s shy, introverted side balances it out perfectly.

Despite their differences, their bond runs deep, and that’s what makes their relationship feel so real. Also, props to the casting, the actors actually look like teens, which adds to the authenticity.

That said, falling in love with your best friend is already confusing, but it gets even more complicated when you're the same sex. One moment you're laughing like usual, then suddenly you're overthinking whether a simple touch meant something more. You don’t want to mess up the friendship, but pretending you don’t feel anything is even harder. It’s love mixed with fear, hope, and a whole lot of silence. That’s exactly what Eiw is going through in this series. I really appreciate how the show explores this kind of story, because it’s something that actually happens in real life.

As the series progresses, we see them grow from teens into young adults. I really appreciated how naturally the story developed, it felt grounded and true to life. Even after going their separate ways for 4 years, their friendship didn’t fade.

If anything, the distance helped them grow individually and made their connection even stronger. And when Cake finally realizes his feelings for Eiw? So satisfying. 🥰

I’m usually not into friends-to-lovers plots, but this one hit different. There’s just something incredibly sweet about watching two people slowly realize their feelings through everyday moments: jokes, support, shared experiences. It’s not forced or rushed. It’s the kind of story that makes you believe that sometimes, the person meant for you has been right in front of you all along. And that’s exactly what this series captures. My Only 12% isn’t just a romance. It’s also a touching story about family, friendship, and growing up. I’m so glad I finally gave it a chance.

THE FLUFFY BL I ALMOST SLEPT ON

I actually tried watching episode one of this series a while back but gave up pretty quickly. It’s one of those University BLs with a bunch of characters, and I thought it’d be too much to keep up with. But I ran out of shows to watch, so I came crawling back, lol.

I get that it’s a typical University BL, but it felt a bit immature for my taste at first. Still, it’s a nice break, especially after watching something super dark. Kinda like a light, fluffy antidote.

What really pulled me in was North and Johan’s backstory, it’s seriously interesting. I stayed for them, but Ter and Hill’s storyline started to grow on me too. I didn’t skip their parts since every character’s story ties into the main plot, and you’ll be lost if you do. Things really start to pick up around episode 4, and honestly, every time Hill looks at Ter, I get butterflies. Their chemistry is insane. 😍 And the jealousy scenes? It adds spice to the story. Also, the bar fight scene had me cracking up. 😂

The whole series is super fluffy, I caught myself smiling through most of it. But I still don’t get how Ter hasn’t figured out that Hill’s into him. Like… they kissed and almost hooked up back in high school! Is he pretending not to know, or is he just that clueless? 😅 There were a few awkward scenes I skipped, but overall, the show pulled through.

The series is a bit too long, and it’s frustrating that we barely got any screentime for the other couples (Tonfah & Typhoon and Thit & Dao). They’re supposed to be main characters too, and I kept waiting for their stories to unfold. Fingers crossed they get more focus in season 2.

When it comes to chemistry though, every couple delivers. Whoever did the casting deserves a raise. Acting-wise, everyone did a great job, but Bas (North) totally stood out. He’s naturally funny and so charming. North and Johan are just meant to be. Their personalities balance each other perfectly, Johan being all cold and distant, then secretly smiling when North isn’t looking? Too cute.

Honestly, I regret dropping this series the first time. North and Johan’s story had me emotional, and I was so happy when they finally got together after Johan secretly crushing on him for three whole years.

Fourever You will make you laugh, cry, and feel all the warm fuzzies. It actually reminded me of We Are by GMMTV, though that one has a bit more energy.

Bad Buddy Made Me a BL Fan, Period

Okay, I know I’m super late to the party, but I finally watched Bad Buddy, and now I get why everyone’s been raving about it. It’s totally worth the hype.

This was actually my first Thai BL series, and it immediately hooked me. It became my gateway into the world of BLs (and now I can’t stop watching, lol). One thing I realized: I’m definitely a sucker for enemies-to-lovers tropes, and Bad Buddy delivers that so well.

The storyline is a perfect mix of drama, romance, comedy, and a dash of action, never a dull moment. I loved watching Pran and Pat’s relationship grow, especially all the sneaking around behind their friends' backs. It added just the right amount of tension and humor.

Also, can we talk about OhmNanon’s chemistry? They were so natural together. You can really feel the connection and emotion in their scenes. It didn’t feel forced at all, they were just that good.

Overall, the writing was solid and consistent from start to finish. It’s funny, heartfelt, and truly well-done. Honestly, I wish I had watched this sooner, but better late than never!

IFYLITA: A MASTERPIECE BL SERIES ❤️

I Feel You Linger in the Air is absolutely beautiful and heartwarming, it just hits different. As someone who’s always been drawn to historical dramas, I gave this a try and honestly, it did not disappoint. I also have a soft spot for time travel stories, and this one blends that element so well with emotional depth and storytelling that I was hooked from the start.

I’ve watched a lot of BL series, but none have come close to the emotional pull of this one. I’m deeply invested in it—like, truly. Everything about it is top-tier: the cinematography is stunning, the acting is phenomenal (seriously, every emotion hits right where it should), and even the OST is perfect. It’s one of those rare shows where even the supporting cast gets their time to shine, and I really appreciated that.

Now, let’s talk about the chemistry, Nonkul and Bright? Undeniable. Their connection feels so raw and genuine, and it really sets this show apart. I’ve always loved historical BLs like To Sir, With Love, but that one lacked the intimacy between the leads. I Feel You Linger in the Air delivers that and more—you truly feel everything between Jom and Yai.

The ending definitely left me thinking, though, who is that modern-day Yai hugging Jom at the end? I have a theory he’s a reincarnation, and I’d love to see that explored more. Honestly, the whole story is so captivating, well-made, and beautifully written. It's a masterpiece in my eyes and the only BL series that’s ever made me cry.

Please, let there be a Season 2. I need more. 💙

Ended up liking it

The aesthetics and the couple’s chemistry are really nice, but the idea of Minato making Shizuma fall in love with him just to dump him later—simply because Shizuma couldn’t remember him after getting drunk—felt pretty lame to me. What happened to Shizuma was actually valid. Some people, especially when they’re really drunk, genuinely don’t remember what happened, so Minato being that angry over it felt unfair.

The concept itself isn’t original, but I still liked how it was executed. The story revolves around revenge, with Minato eventually falling in love with Shizuma—something we’ve already seen in other JBLs. I also noticed that Minato and Shizuma’s introduction and connection felt rushed. It was as if they were already very close, like they’d known each other for a long time, which is something I often notice in JBLs—probably because most of them are quite short.

I did appreciate Minato’s character growth, though. Even if he was cruel at the beginning, you can see how his childhood trauma shaped his insecurities. As for Shizuma, despite being deeply hurt by his cheating ex, he never held a grudge. The same goes for when he found out that Minato was just using him for revenge—he still chose to accept him. Shizuma is pure green-flag energy.
I don’t have much to say about the side couple. They had some sweet moments, but there were no kisses—maybe due to the actors’ comfort levels. The ending was exactly what I expected: forgiving, sweet, and hopeful, with Shizuma even looking forward to their future together.

Overall, I wasn’t really a fan during the earlier episodes, but the series definitely gets better as it goes on. It’s worth watching if you enjoy this kind of trope.

Watchable But Not Memorable

The story is about two friends who quietly love each other—not just as friends, but romantically too. However, they struggle with inner issues like confusion and insecurities, especially on Dong Hui’s side. It’s the kind of story where there’s no clear love confession between them even though they clearly like each other, and that’s probably why I couldn’t fully connect with their dynamic.

I honestly don’t understand why Dong Hui couldn’t just accept Ho Tae, when it was so obvious that Ho Tae was into him as well. There’s something off about Dong Hui, and his decision to distance himself didn’t really make sense to me. It felt like the writer ran out of ideas when it came to creating conflict.

That said, I did like the chemistry and acting, as well as the cinematography. I can’t really say that I loved the series—I’m somewhere in between. Still, I didn’t have to force myself to finish it, so it was watchable for me.

Comfort BL Done Right

While I do find this series slow, it’s actually really cute, wholesome, and fluffy. Hioki’s character is the typical timid and awkward teenage guy you see in most JBLs, but his awkwardness makes him endearing. Watarai, on the other hand, is confident, caring, and very protective of Hioki.

The series has a lot of quiet moments—lingering glances and small gestures that say more than words. Hioki’s group of friends also adds a lot of charm to the show. It kind of gives off a Boys Over Flowers vibe in BL form, minus the bullying. Speaking of that, I really love how light this series is—there are no bullies or unlikeable characters. Hioki’s friends are supportive and chill, which makes everything feel comforting.

This is the perfect show to watch after a heavy, dark series. It works as a cleansing palate because it’s so soft and calming. Acting-wise, both leads delivered solid performances, especially Kan as Watarai. Their chemistry is good too.

My only complaint is that it’s a super slow burn—they only officially want to be in a relationship in the final episode. It honestly feels like it’s setting up a season 2. That said, I love that Hioki initiated it and asked Watarai to be his boyfriend. It made me giggle, and seeing his confidence and courage was so satisfying. You can really see his character growth.

Overall, I still enjoyed this series despite how slow it is. I’d honestly take a super slow burn over a rushed, unrealistic romance drama.

Love In Simple Gestures

Perfect Propose is a simple yet genuinely heartwarming BL series. Although, romance is not the main focused of the story but it never feels dull as what other people are saying.

Okay. Imagine this: coming home completely exhausted from work and there’s someone waiting for you—meals already prepared, quietly taking care of you to the best of their ability, and never getting tired of doing so. On the other hand, Hiro lets Kai live with him. These two meet during the hardest period of their lives. Hiro is constantly stressed by work, while Kai has lost his job and was asked to leave his boss’s residence.

I’ve never experienced something like having someone cook for me and take care of me without reproach, so it feels especially touching to watch. This series isn’t like most Thai BLs that are full of fluff. Instead, it leans more toward the reality of relationships and work-related stress. The overly romantic, fluffy moments we usually see are often limited to series, movies, or fiction books, but Perfect Propose shows both the warmth of a relationship and the weight of real life.

It highlights the hardship of working every day, having almost no time for others—including romantic relationships—yet still having someone who’s willing to stay with you despite the little time you can give. Food and quiet acts of care become central expressions of love here.

That said, the series is light and comforting, with no real villains or unlikable characters. The chemistry between the leads is palpable—they look really good together. Acting-wise, Kaneko (Hiro) delivers a solid performance, while Nomura (Kai) feels a bit stiff to me. I’m not sure if that’s a deliberate choice for the character or if he still needs some improvement.

Overall, this series isn’t groundbreaking, but it’s enough to make me emotionally invested in the characters—especially Hiro. 💙

A Parallel Universe Love Story Done Right

What can I say? I really love this pairing. I also love parallel-universe stories, and the bonus is they added mind-reading to this series. Me & Who follows the story of Popthorn—an orphan who works multiple jobs just to make ends meet. He gets into an accident and suddenly wakes up in another universe, the world of Suriya, a wealthy hotel owner. Meanwhile, Apo, a billionaire who looks exactly like him, also gets into an accident, and Popthorn ends up being reborn in his body.

Apo is in a relationship with Suriya, so Popthorn and Suriya have to pretend they’re still a couple—but eventually, they genuinely fall in love. I love that the relationship wasn’t rushed. They actually spent time getting to know each other, so the buildup feels real and earned. There’s one villain in the story, but it’s not exaggerated. Overall, the series still feels light and fluffy.

The plot twist in Episode 8 involving Apo’s half-brother was completely unpredictable. There are plenty of funny and sweet moments that keep you engaged. Popthorn is hilarious from the very beginning, especially when he’s practicing how to act like Apo. The chemistry between the leads is strong, and the NC scenes feel natural. The side couple also has great chemistry, and I really enjoyed their story too.

BigPark’s acting has improved a lot, and this series is definitely an upgrade from their 2024 show The Monster Next Door—I liked that one, but I love this. And of course, shoutout to François the butler—he’s absolutely hilarious and the role fits him perfectly.

The plot twist later on involving Apo’s car accident is predictable, but I honestly didn’t mind because the story kept me genuinely invested.

Overall, this series is super enjoyable and well-executed. There’s never a dull moment. The pacing is just right, and the visuals are beautiful. It's definitely a must-watch.

A Laundromat That Feels Like Home

Watching this series feels like being back in my hometown — my safe space. It’s like sipping a warm cup of chocolate while wrapped in a cozy blanket. Simple, yet comforting.

At first, I was hesitant to watch this series because of the characters’ age gap. I don’t support relationships between adults and teenagers; it’s just wrong in so many ways. Minato is a 29-year-old man who develops admiration for a teenager. Although he starts to feel something for Shin when the latter is still 17, he tries his best to avoid Shin’s advances and continues to hesitate even after Shin turns 18. Still, I wish they had made Shin a university student instead of a high schooler.

That said, I truly love everything about this series — the characters, the laundromat, the neighborhood, the storyline, the soundtrack — everything. The characters feel so realistic, like people you’d actually meet in real life. Minato comes off as a bit childish, while Shin is surprisingly mature for his age, knowing exactly what he wants (and what he doesn’t). It makes perfect sense why Shin is completely whipped for Minato — just watch it yourself to see the twist. It’s not obsession, but rather a pure, selfless kind of love. He’s even willing to sacrifice his feelings for Minato’s happiness.

As for the other characters, Asuka adds such charm to the story. I wasn’t fond of him at first, but he gradually grew on me and ended up becoming one of my favorites as the series progressed. His dynamic with Sakuma felt a bit weird at first — I thought it was unrequited love — but by the end, it seemed like Sakuma finally accepted Asuka. I do wish they’d had more screen time being sweet together this season.

That said, around episode five, the direction shifted a bit. It was a bit disappointing to see that Minato still hadn’t fully moved on from his past love, who happened to be his professor. But I understand that the writer might have done that intentionally to add some tension to the story.

It also got a little frustrating that Minato couldn’t clearly express his feelings about his closure with Sakuma Takuyaki — and whenever he tried to, something always interrupted him. It made things feel repetitive and dragged the series a bit.

Aside from that, there weren’t really any major flaws. I loved how it ended. I’m still on the fence about watching season two because of the mixed reviews, but overall, Minato’s Laundromat is a cute, heartwarming, and engaging series that kept me hooked from start to finish.

It Hurts So Good

Kill to Love is a beautifully crafted historical BL drama that I’d honestly compare to fine wine—it just gets better the longer you stick with it, lol. I wasn’t hooked at first; the beginning felt a bit vague and slow, but I’m so glad I didn’t give up. It keeps building up and gets more and more gripping with each episode.

Plot-wise, the concept isn’t entirely new—there’s forbidden love, betrayal, ambition, and power struggles—but the execution is what makes it stand out. It keeps you entertained and always curious about what’s going to happen next. Zi Ang and Shu He first crossed paths as kids when Zi Ang saved Shu He from danger. Years later, fate brings them back together as adults, and that’s where things really start to unfold.

I was also pleasantly surprised by the chemistry between the two leads. I mean, there are a lot of BL actors with great chemistry, but these two are on another level. On top of that, their performances were solid—especially Zhang Zhe. It’s his first main role, and I was honestly blown away by how good his acting was.

As the title suggests, Kill to Love is all about the lengths Zi Ang is willing to go just to win back the one he loves. He couldn’t care less about power—all he ever wanted was Shu He. You can really feel the depth of the story. It takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. And even though there aren’t a lot of traditionally sweet or romantic scenes, the subtle gestures say it all. Through this series, you’ll feel sadness, joy, hope, heartbreak, and eventually, some form of healing.

The ending isn’t the typical “happily ever after,” but honestly, that’s what makes it hit even harder—it feels real. If you’re looking for a historical BL that’ll make you feel everything, this one’s definitely worth watching.

Too Much Drama, Not Enough Sweet Moments

Cupid's Last Wish is a body-swapping story where Win (played by Mix) ends up in his sister Lin’s body after a car accident.

Honestly, the series was a bit stressful to watch—mostly because of Win’s character. He started off okay in the first episode, but then his personality took a nosedive. He just kept getting more unbearable as the story went on. I get that he's going through a lot, but blaming Korn for everything? Not it.

On the bright side, Earth and Mix’s chemistry is strong as always. GMMTV really knows how to pair their actors well. That said, the romance is more of a slow burn since the body-swapping plot takes up most of the show. But even with that, you can still feel their connection.

Acting-wise, all three leads delivered solid performances. The body-swapping transitions were done really well and felt convincing.

One thing I really appreciated was the beautiful rural Thai landscapes and the spotlight on local food during their journey. But there’s this one thing that bugged me: how does a big farm not have a vet for sick cows? Kinda feels like a plot hole.

Overall, I wasn’t completely satisfied—mainly because of the ending. It felt rushed and incomplete, like we barely got to see Win and Korn enjoy their time together. I wish they had either extended it to 12 episodes or cut out some of the filler scenes. Plus, Win’s character barely developed—he was still annoyingly loud and difficult even toward the end.

He Was Straight Until He Meets Him

This series had potential to be even better. I actually enjoyed the first few episodes, but as the story went on, the screen time of the main couple being together started to feel limited. The focus shifted more toward family issues and power struggles, which made the romance take a backseat.

That said, I really liked the love story—especially how deeply Huaien loves Xiaobao. He couldn’t do much at first because of how complicated their situation was, but once things got moving... Wow! Xiaobao may have fallen first, but Huaien definitely fell harder.

One thing I really appreciated is that there's no homophobia in this series, despite it being set in an old era. Xiaobao’s close friend was against their relationship at first, but in the end, he just let them be. Even Xiaobao’s parents and sister were accepting. Being gay wasn't a big issue, which felt refreshing, especially in a historical setting.

---

Let’s talk characters:

Xiaobao is rich, spoiled, a little immature, and kind of stubborn—but in a charming way. He always talks about girls... until Huaien comes into the picture. Huaien, on the other hand, is the cold, quiet type—but the more they interact, the closer they get.

I love how confident Xiaobao is. At first, he seems like the type who’s into girls, but the moment he meets Huaien, he pretty much forgets all about them—LOL! I also admire how straightforward he is with his feelings. Even though it’s a conservative time period, he never questions himself and just embraces the fact that love is love. No drama. No denial.

The chemistry between them is so palpable. The way they look at each other? Ugh, my heart. There are kissing and bed scenes—but they cheekily close the bed curtain right away. 😂

---

Everyone did a solid job acting-wise, even the supporting characters. The cinematography is really pretty too. You can tell the budget wasn’t huge but honestly, it’s still a decent watch.

Even though the leads are separated from episode 6 and only reunite in episode 11, I still ended up enjoying Meet You at the Blossom. If you're in the mood for a historical BL with some silliness, drama, and action, give this one a shot!
