I Dove In with Low Expectations but I Was Wrong

I haven’t seen the Japanese version of My Love Mix-Up, so I can’t compare the two—but this review is purely for the Thai adaptation. And honestly? I loved it. The concept is fresh for a BL series, and the plot twist? Totally unexpected. Just when you think that’s the twist, but there’s more. I was hooked from episode one. It’s lighthearted, super cute, and the whole “mix-up” makes the story even more fun. I had such a good laugh watching it.

The four characters are all undeniably charming. Gemini and Fourth, as always, have off-the-charts chemistry. I was living for their stares and glances—it gave me such a teenage feels.

Normally, I’d write a quick rundown of the plot, but I won’t this time because I don’t want to spoil anything. There’s a twist that isn’t even mentioned in the synopsis, so I’d rather you experience it yourself.

Let’s talk characters:

Atom, played by Fourth is funny, charming, childish, and a little clumsy. He sometimes gets low grades, so his friends—especially Kongthap—are always there to help.

Kongthap, played by Gemini, starts off a bit distant. He’s mature and serious—not exactly cold, but a little clueless when it comes to love. Still, he’s open-minded and willing to get to know Atom at his own pace. Eventually, he turns into this total green flag who always puts Atom first.

As for the second couple, Mudmee and Half, their chemistry is great too. But I wasn’t a big fan of how Half’s character was written—it kind of slowed down the pacing and made their arc feel a bit slow-burn.

Some people have been complaining about all the ads in the series. Sure, they’re noticeable, but it didn’t really bother me. GMMTV clearly needed sponsorship, and honestly, it didn’t take away from the story for me.

Before anyone says I’m just biased—no, I’m not a hardcore GeminiFourth fan. I like them just fine, but what really matters to me is the chemistry, acting, and storyline. And in this case, they all worked.

Overall, the series wasn’t boring or dragging at all—just a little slow with the second couple. If you’re looking for something light, fluffy, and genuinely fun, I totally recommend this.

Disappointing, Waste of Time

I thought I would love this series because I love action/mafia BL series like Kinnporsche and The Heart Killers but I'm seriously regretting investing 6 episodes in this series – it just wasn't worth my time. Despite having an intriguing storyline that initially caught my attention, I had major issues with consistency that really took me out of the experience. In the first episode, Ken was introduced as a skilled fighter with 2 years of training, which made him seem like a formidable character. However, as the series progressed, later episodes showed him constantly losing fights, which felt like a huge downgrade. It was jarring to see him go from being capable and confident to struggling and helpless.

I understand that BL series don't always have happy endings, and I'm okay with that. But what frustrated me was Ken's drastic character inconsistency. It felt like the writers didn't follow through with the character development they set up in the beginning. I got fed up with the never-ending fights where Ken would inevitably lose – it started to feel like a running joke . At some point, I just couldn't take it anymore and decided to move on. For me, the inconsistency and repetitive plot points made it not worth the time.

Deep and Nostalgic

I knew that this series exists but I did not prioritize it but since I was running out of BLs to watch and saw that it’s already completed, I decided to give it a try and I wasn’t disappointed. I was hooked from start to finish. Rearrange is such a beautiful time-travel BL series about friendship, coming-of-age, first love, and music.

Set in the 1990s, it really fascinated me. I love shows like this where there are no mobile phones or modern gadgets yet—just simple teenage life, real connections, and genuine friendships. Watching it actually made me feel nostalgic, like I was going back to my own teenage days.

Characters:

Win – A selfless guy who secretly loves Nut but never gets the chance to confess. He’s willing to sacrifice his feelings for the sake of Nut and Lin.

Nut – A teenager who’s overly controlled by his strict father, especially when it comes to music. He’s quiet, isolated, and has no friends—until he meets Win. At first, he’s hesitant, but Win’s warmth eventually gets through to him.

Biu – She’s bubbly, talkative, and just fun to be around. I really love her friendship with Win, and her character is written so well.

The side characters, Chai and Ek, also have a beautiful bond that slowly grows into love.

Nut took quite a while to realize his feelings, but it was still satisfying to see that their love ended up being mutual. This is the kind of slow burn that’s totally worth it. And seeing Nut finally stand up for his dreams—especially against his father felt like a big moment of courage. I really appreciated his character growth.

As for Win, it’s heartwarming to see that he comes from such a loving family despite not having a mother. He played such an important role in Nut’s life—always encouraging him not to give up and checking on him emotionally and physically. What they have isn’t just loveit’s something deeper, like family.

There were a few filler scenes that didn’t add much, but overall, this series amazed me in so many ways. It’s not just fluff—it has depth and warmth.

By the end, I loved how each character grew and how well they were written. Sure, some parts weren’t perfectly polished—there were a few scenes that felt random or disconnected and the time travel element in the later episodes seems like was not the focused anymore—but it still kept me engaged. It’s one of those series that not only gives you romantic feels but also teaches you something meaningful.

I’m not that familiar with FRT Entertainment, but I have to say I’m impressed. They really delivered an above-average BL with talented actors and solid production value. I’m so glad they created something this heartfelt.

I honestly hope the main leads get to work together again because you can really tell they gave it their all. If you’re still unsure whether to watch this or not—don’t hesitate. Just watch it. You won’t regret it.

Never Thought Domundi Would Pull This Off

No doubt, Khemjira is one of the best BLs of 2025. I was honestly surprised that it came from Domundi. I’m sorry, but I’ve never been a huge fan of most of their writings. I mean, I’ve enjoyed some of their shows, but nothing ever stood out to me the way Khemjira did.

It’s a shame though, because Domundi always produces high-quality series — like The Next Prince but most of the time, the plots just aren’t that groundbreaking or impressive.

If you’re here for the mystery and thrill, you won’t be disappointed. Just don’t expect too much on the romance side, since it’s a slow burn for the main characters. I was also pleasantly surprised by the historical elements. I didn’t know about that beforehand because I never read the novel, but I’m glad they added it — I love historical shows.

I really appreciate how Khemjira managed to combine horror, mystery, reincarnation and romance all in one series. Writing and producing a supernatural story like this isn’t easy, but they pulled it off so well this time.

When it comes to acting, both leads delivered strong performances, and whoever decided to pair Nampeng and Keng together made an excellent choice — their chemistry is palpable. The second couple also added a lot of charm to the series and had great chemistry too.

Special shoutout to the actress who played Rhampueng — her role is definitely a big part of the show! Her acting was so convincing, and she nailed every emotion she portrayed.

Overall, Khemjira is a well-crafted horror BL with an amazing cast, high-quality production, and stunning cinematography and soundtrack.

Another KBL Done Right

I love everything about this BL series—from the plot, characters, main leads, and their development... and of course, the height difference! It's just too adorable! 😍

My Bias Is Showing is a cute story about a fanboy and a celebrity. Aejoon, a fan of Siyeol, unexpectedly meets him when Siyeol need to film a movie at the school where Aejoon works. Not only is Aejoon a fan, but he also has a huge crush on him. It’s so relatable—the awkwardness, the nervous energy—when you’re around someone you like and don’t know how to act.

What I really appreciated is how they written Aejoon’s character. It wasn’t exaggerated or cringey. His flirty little inner thoughts were super cute, and the sound effects made everything even funnier. The show starts off light, fluffy, and easy to watch. But by episode 4, things get heavier due to a past misunderstanding. Still, that kind of conflict keeps the story from feeling flat.

I can’t explain how much I enjoyed this series. It’s officially my second favorite K-BL—Semantic Error being the first. Every scene feels meaningful; nothing is boring or dragged out. The pacing is just right for a mini-series, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting it to be this good. The chemistry between the leads is amazing, and their acting feels natural.

Also, I don’t mind that there are no NC (explicit) scenes—it’s not something I look for in a BL. What matters to me is quality and a story that feels genuine and heartfelt, and this one delivered.

One thing I found a little unclear was the second couple's storyline. The whole breakup and one of them pretending to have a new boyfriend felt vague. If he did have a new boyfriend, I wish they had shown it more clearly.

My only complaint? It’s too short! Each episode is around 23 minutes, but about 6 minutes are usually recap scenes. There are only 10 episodes total, and I really wish we had more.

All in all, I’m completely satisfied. If you're looking for something adorable, funny, and light with just the right amount of drama, I highly recommend My Bias Is Showing.

20% Suspense, 80% Romance

My Magic Prophecy starts when one of Dr. Thap's (Jimmy) colleagues, Thara, collapses and becomes seriously ill. It seems like someone might be trying to kill her. Around the same time, Thap meets In (Sea), a mysterious fortune teller, fainting after his own graduation. The moment they meet, In starts getting dark visions connected to Thap — and when those visions start coming true, the two are forced to run away and hide in a secluded area.

At first, they’re always bickering, but being stuck together leaves them no choice but to rely on each other. Slowly, they grow closer and start developing feelings.

Now, if you’re expecting something intense or suspenseful right from the beginning, you might end up disappointed. The story leans more on romance than action. These two softies (JimmySea) aren’t built for fight scenes — and that’s okay! I didn’t expect much in terms of plot at first because I only knew their roles going in, so I wasn’t disappointed. I saw the unofficial trailer a while back, but I never rely on trailers anyway.

The story really picks up after Episode 2, focusing more on Thap and In’s relationship and In’s family backstory. The medical setting, the suspense, and Jimmy being a doctor aren’t highlighted much — because most of the scenes happen in that secluded hideout where they spend a lot of time together.

As for chemistry, Jimmy and Sea may not be off-the-charts for me, but they work well enough. Jimmy plays the more flirtatious one, while Sea is as adorable as always. Sea’s acting is top-tier and Jimmy also did a good job. The second couple? They were a pleasant surprise — I actually think their chemistry is amazing. I’d love to see them lead a BL series next. First, as usual, nails his role. You won’t feel good about his character early on — and that’s the point.

Overall, this series is more fluffy and emotional, with a bit of comedy here and there. It’s not a masterpiece or anything close to perfection, but it’s enjoyable and I never found it boring. It’s also not dragging — every scene has its place. Production-wise, everything looks polished and professional. My only gripe is the background music. Sometimes, it feels a bit excessive — even during moments that don’t need it. It can be distracting.

If you're coming for suspense, I’d say lower your expectations. This story is clearly centered around Thap and In’s romance — and if that’s what you're here for, I think you’ll enjoy it.

Best friends to Lovers Done Right

Secret Lover has a pretty simple premise: it’s about two boys and a girl who grew up together as best friends. But don’t worry—the girl isn’t there to stir up drama. In fact, she’s more like the peacemaker, the one they both turn to for advice whenever they fight.

Han Tuo is the classic heartthrob, the type girls fall for easily. But there’s a twist to his character that I didn't see it coming and I'm here for it. On the other hand, Lujunxi is the complete opposite. He’s never dated before, but he’s open to the idea, and Han Tuo steps in to “coach” him.

The chemistry between the leads is so good, and I’m absolutely here for their sweet little moments. They really brought their characters to life. I especially loved how natural and believable Lujunxi’s reaction was when Han Tuo started making subtle moves—it felt real. Like, that awkwardness totally makes sense when your best friend suddenly starts looking at you differently.

Also, can we talk about the NC scenes? They're surprisingly well-done—passionate without being cringey or over-the-top. The kisses felt natural too, especially since one of them has zero experience. It was actually kind of endearing.

The series also dips into themes like trauma, abandonment, insecurity, and the fear of coming out. But honestly, it’s not as heavy as it sounds. At its core, it’s still a light and sweet story about two best friends slowly realizing they’ve probably been in love for a long time.

That said, I highly recommend watching a few episodes before reading the comments or reviews. A lot of people seem to bash this series unfairly. As someone who’s watched over 200 BLs, I’ve learned not to let online reviews decide for me.

A Zombie With A Heart

I accidentally stumbled upon this series on Viu with a Tagalog dub, and my curiosity got the best of me. The zombie here is surprisingly cute, charming, and innocent. Even though he dislikes humans, he can’t help but be kind-hearted by nature. No matter how hungry he gets or how much he wants to eat people (or pets), he always stops himself.

Instead of hurting anyone, he learns how to live like a human and just go with the flow, taking whatever life throws at him. It’s not your typical scary zombie story—it’s actually a mix of comedy, lighthearted moments, and quirky twists. There are so many little events and subplots that keep things interesting. Watching it in Tagalog made it even funnier.

At first, I found the female lead kind of annoying, but I realized that’s just how her character was written. Eventually, she grew on me. Kim and Gong Sun’s relationship starts off purely as business, but over time, they get closer and form this unique friendship—or maybe something platonic-but-special. I have a feeling Gong Sun likes Kim, but realistically, they can’t be together. They're always bickering, but they still have each other's backs.

The whole cast did a great job, especially the two nosy detective neighbors—they were absolutely hilarious. The visuals and production quality are top-notch, and the soundtrack is solid. The actor playing Detective Kim was perfect for the role—I honestly can’t imagine anyone else pulling it off. Without him, I don’t think the series would be as highly rated as it is.
The only thing I noticed is that it felt like the series ended abruptly, almost like it was cut short. Maybe there’s going to be a Season 2?

Speedy Cars, Speedy Drama and Many Couples

Honestly, I didn't think Pit Babe needed a second season. I was already satisfied with how Season 1 ended, even though Way’s death left a sting. But the moment they announced Season 2 and dropped the trailer — I was hyped. And as expected, it didn’t disappoint. Season 2 is just as intense as the first. This series really knows how to keep things entertaining—with solid casting and a gripping storyline.

The pacing felt a bit fast, but I actually prefer that over those super slow-burn dramas. One thing though, there were a lot of couples—so if you're into simpler, more focused plots, this might feel a bit chaotic for you.

Babe & Charlie

I saw a few clips of Babe with Willy and honestly thought something was going on between them. 😂 But Babe and Charlie's chemistry is still as strong as ever. I couldn’t help but giggle every time they threw those cheesy, flirty lines at each other. And as much as I cringe at them calling each other “mama” and “papa,” I have to admit—it’s kind of adorable.

---

Sonic & North

I was really hoping these two would end up together in season 1—and boom, by season 2, the writers gave it to us. I just love their dynamic—their friendship, their chemistry, everything.

---

Jeff & Alan

They went through some rough patches and miscommunication, but thankfully they managed to work things out in the end. Love them.

---

Chris and Pete

I don’t really have much to say about them. Their chemistry just felt a bit off to me—not sure what exactly was missing, but something didn’t click.

---

Kenta and Kim

They developed feelings for each other, but Kim had to return to Korea. Not every love story ends with a happily ever after, and that’s okay.

---

Special shoutout to Milk (Willy)!

He seems pretty new to acting, but he nailed his role. And honestly, the whole cast did a great job.

---

Overall, Pit Babe is a fast‑paced romance set in the high‑stakes world of racing, with fantasy‑tinged power dynamics and a sizzling BL core. It stands out for its bold aesthetic, chemistry between Babe and Charlie, and its attempt to fuse genre elements into an emotionally driven drama. Thank you so much, CHANGE2561 for producing a wonderful series.

Why Thamepo Feels So Real

Thamepo had me hooked right from the start. I really liked how they showed Po’s real-life struggles, especially how hard it was for him to find a job. It felt super realistic, and I think a lot of people can relate to that.

Eventually, Po becomes a videographer for a boy band called MARS, and that’s where he meets Thame, the group’s leader. There’s definitely some tension between them at first, which made things even more interesting.

WillEast (Thame and Po) have undeniable chemistry. Their acting is on point especially for actors who don’t get as much attention as they deserve. They’re great at expressing emotions, even through just subtle looks or actions.

For me, Thamepo stands out as a more realistic take on BL set in the idol industry. Thame might seem cold at first, but as the story goes on, you realize he’s actually a major green flag.

Jun’s character is kind of confusing, but in a good way—it adds some extra spice to the plot. The cinematography is also really well done, and I love how the relationship between Thame and Po slowly builds over time.

Overall, I found Thamepo touching, heartwarming, and well-written. It’s definitely worth watching.

TOXIC, CHAOTIC, ADDICTIVE

Only Friends is that kind of BL series where you’ll find yourself thinking, “What the heck did I just watch?” and honestly, I loved every second of the chaos! It’s hands down one of the messiest, most toxic shows I’ve ever seen… but also one of the most entertaining.

I didn’t skip a single scene. If you’re into clean-cut romances, this isn’t for you. This series is packed with love triangles (and squares), cheating, red flags, friends-with-benefits, betrayal, you name it. Basically, relationship drama dialed up to 100. Watch with caution: this is definitely not for the faint of heart.

Cheum is probably the only sane character in the whole thing. Everyone else? A beautiful disaster. But that’s what makes it so addicting. Messy as it is, the story pulls you in from the start. Just give it a shot and you’ll get why people (and reviewers) can’t stop talking about it.

A Non-Thai BL that Totally Won me Over ❤️

Even though this series felt a bit short for me, I absolutely loved it. Every scene and plot point just made sense and kept me hooked. I'm a fan of gangster and action BLs, and Kiseki: Dear to Me definitely didn’t disappoint.

I don’t usually watch non-Thai BL series, but I gave this one a shot because of the great reviews and I’m glad I did! Although I had to adjust a bit to the different environment, accent, and character traits (since I’m so used to Thai BLs), it was totally worth it.

I really liked how straightforward Bai Zong was about his feelings for Fan Ze. The chemistry between them was strong, even with the big age gap. As for the second couple, their story was more of a slow burn, but it eventually came together nicely.

It was a bit sad that Bai Zong didn’t get to follow his dream of becoming a doctor, but you could tell it didn’t matter as much to him anymore. His love for Fan Ze became his priority. I loved how he fought for that love until the very end. You could truly feel the emotions between the two of them.

WHY I AM OBSESSED WITH KINNPORSCHE

I'm hooked on KinnPorsche! Initially, I overlooked it since it wasn't on YouTube, but after getting an IQIYI premium membership, I gave it a shot. From the start, the series captivated me with its stunning visuals and thrilling storyline, it never felt dull. Unlike some shows that take time to grow on me, KinnPorsche grabbed my attention from the first scene.

The action-packed sequences and dark undertones, like Pete's complex relationship with Vegas, kept me invested. My favorite support casts are Pete and Tankhum who is like a diva and hilarious for me but an innocent one because he never experienced being drunk until Porsche became his bodyguard, lol. The plot twists are surprising, I mean Kinn and Porsche's real relationship. I don't want to give spoilers. Just watch it and you will never regret. In addition, this series is a complete package that shows drama, action, romance and comedy.

Filmed during Covid 19 Pandemic - Impressive

Although this series felt a bit cringey at times, I found the story really cute and charming. What makes it even more impressive is that it was filmed during the COVID-19 pandemic. For me, the plot is unique and refreshing, especially given the limitations of that time.

I truly appreciate the dedication of the cast, especially the main characters, Kokoy and Elijah, who filmed most of their scenes by themselves. They even mentioned in interviews that the director only guided them remotely via video call, but still, it turned out great and realistic. Despite the unusual setup, both actors delivered excellent performances and portrayed their characters very well. As a Filipino, I highly recommend and support this series. I just wish they could have another series soon, but I heard that Elijah would need rest from acting as a BL actor, it's kinda sad as these two have great chemistry.

Weak Storytelling

I really like My Secret of Seer’s visuals, and it started off strong, but the editing becomes increasingly messy as the story progresses. Win’s character—a fortune-teller who can also see ghosts—is a unique combination, and the plot has potential, but the execution is lacking. Many scenes jump abruptly from one place to another without proper connection, making it confusing at times. The story doesn’t flow smoothly, and some scenes feel poorly arranged. There are also several moments that don’t make sense and come across as fillers.

On top of that, the romance suffers from a slow burn. The love confession only happens in the final episode. From the start, the show focuses more on the love triangle between Phloeng, Win, and Tul, as well as Win’s circle of friends. The romance feels more like a subplot because the main story revolves around finding Win’s karmic creditor to fix his condition.

I also feel like Phloeng is treated more as a side character than a main one, since he barely gets enough meaningful screen time with Win and he did not shine throughout. The acting is passable—not top-tier, but understandable since they’re rookies. The NC scenes are quite stiff as well. The only things I genuinely liked were the visuals and the OST.

Would I recommend it? Maybe—if you truly have nothing else to watch and just want something to pass the time. But with the number of good BL series available nowadays, there are definitely better options.
