Saved Only by Lena and Miu!
I must say, while the series was a mess, the last episode was the only thing that truly delivered. Lena and Miu carried the entire show — their chemistry on and off screen is the only reason it didn’t completely fall apart. Honestly, I did enjoy the series, but could it have been better? Absolutely!Jane is crazy jealous about everything involving Lin, but she’s genuinely a good person. Lin, at first, seemed like a red flag, but she’s truly a sweetheart. She never forgot about Jane — even when they were miles apart or not talking, her thoughts were always with her.
The story focuses heavily on Lin and how Jane became her Safe Zone, revealing Lin’s past and the events that led her to where she is now. Meanwhile, Jane, who is supposed to be one of the leads, remains underdeveloped. Why weren’t we given her backstory? She lives with her aunt, but we never learn why. They really ought to have given her more depth. She’s a lead, for crying out loud.
It had potential, but after the first few episodes, everything went downhill fast. The pacing was chaotic — first Pie, then Tim, then Kate, all thrown at us with zero breathing room. One episode, Pie is causing chaos; the next, she disappears entirely. Then Tim steps in, accompanied by Kate, creating a mess all over again.
I really liked how Jane put Tim in his place: "You don’t have to give up because you were never Lin’s competition."
Also, I’ve always wondered how Jane can cook in a minidress, skirt, or high heels. I’ve worked in a kitchen, and that’s practically impossible.
What I truly took away from My Safe Zone were the performances of Lena and Miu, two incredibly talented actresses who brought the series to life despite its many flaws. I love the friendship they shared off screen, and I’m grateful to CH3 for pairing them together.
Also, the OSTs are great, but the constant repetition quickly became annoying. Most series with original soundtracks tend to reuse them throughout the entire run, and that can drive me crazy.
Would I rewatch it? Probably yes, sometime in the future!

An overall Disappointment
Just finished Only You and honestly… it was tough to get through… I’m a bit disappointed!The story had potential but the execution just wasn’t there. The pacing was off, the emotions felt flat at times, and the production quality didn’t match the hype. Some scenes looked rushed or unevenly edited, which really pulled me out of the story.
Lingling and Orm did their best. Chemistry was there — just not supported by strong direction or writing. Honestly Lingling and Orm deserve better.
The OST and visuals were nice, but they couldn’t hide the weak production.
It’s not terrible, just disappointing. Only You could’ve been something special with better writing and higher production value.

Undeniable Chemistry - Standout GL of the year!
Poisonous Love is THE Thai GL series, and the heart of it lies in Ginny (Prem) and Jayna (Pat). Their chemistry on and off screen is undeniable. Their expressions, subtle glances, and body language carry a tension that keeps you hooked. The series does a great job of showing how their conflicting personalities push and pull at each other.That said, it’s not without its issues.
Pat is a little stalkerish, a definite red flag and crosses lines that in the real world would be unacceptable, a complete deal-breaker. While the series frames it as romantic tension, all those chaotic traits somehow turn her into the perfect villain. It can feel uncomfortable at times if you view her actions through a realistic lens. She’s unpredictable, obsessive, and impossible to ignore, which is exactly what makes her such a magnetic force in the series. Pat is the kind of character you shouldn’t root for… but you do anyway.
Prem is the perfect daughter—disciplined, accomplished, and everything her family could ever hope for. She’s a heart surgeon with her life neatly mapped out, ready to get married and settle down. But most importantly, she’s straight as an arrow… or so she claims. But that arrow starts bending real fast the second Pat shows up.
Ginny brings depth to Prem, showing vulnerability, frustration, and quiet resilience in a way that makes you empathize with her, even when her decisions are complicated.
Poisonous Love is daring. It doesn’t just serve sapphic romance, it dives into the darker side of love: obsession, regret, and sacrifice. It’s not perfect, and it leans into problematic territory, but that’s part of its identity. When it works, it really works emotionally, visually etc. It’s one of the standout Thai GLs of the year.
If I were recommending: yes, give it a try — but go in knowing that it’s not just “cute girl love”; it’s complicated, and you may love it or be frustrated by it (or both). Especially Ep9. That episode was the hardest of all to watch. Proceed with contusions.

A Dark, Addictive Drama
This show will either grab you immediately or completely turn you off—there’s no middle ground. Dark, intense, and morally complex, it’s not for everyone, but if you enjoy character-driven dramas with twists and emotional depth, it’s worth watching.But what for me makes this drama stand out is Kim Yoo-jung as Baek Ah-jin. She brings so much depth to a character who is flawed, vulnerable, and fiercely ambitious. You can’t help but be drawn to her, even though almost everything she does is questionable. Ah-jin is definitely not a “good” person — she can be selfish, manipulative, and willing to do whatever it takes to succeed. But under her tough exterior, you can see her insecurities and the trauma she’s carrying from her past. Her choices may hurt people, but they often make sense when you understand her drive and survival instincts. Watching her, I was constantly torn between rooting for her, sympathizing with her, and questioning her actions — which made the show frustrating and compelling at the same time.
It’s a big change from the roles we usually see Kim Yoo-jung in, and she pulls it off effortlessly. I honestly think this role was a career risk, but she handles it with confidence, making it feel like a turning point. Taking on such a complex, morally gray character could have gone wrong, but instead it really shows how bold and versatile she’s become.
We also can’t forget the two male leads, Kim Young-dae as Yoon Jun-seo and Kim Do-hoon as Kim Jae-oh. Without them, the story wouldn’t be the same. Honestly, they almost feel like her loyal minions, she tells them to jump, and they ask how high. They would do anything for her. They would literally die for her.
Visually, Dear X looks amazing, and the OST is just as memorable. The music really brings out the emotions in each scene, making the highs more intense and the dramatic moments hit harder.
The ending wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t quite what I expected. I had hoped Ah-jin would face at least some consequences for her actions, but even so, the journey is what makes this drama so compelling.
If you like character-driven dramas with morally complex characters and incredible acting . Dear X is definitely worth watching.

I Didn’t Expect Much… But Love Design Stole My Heart!
I didn’t expect much when I started Love Design, but wow… it completely won me over.The chemistry between Kao and Jane is so natural — their slow-burn from 'enemies' to lovers felt real and full of heart. Every scene looks beautiful (those Japan scenes!!), and the story treats their relationship with genuine care.
It’s emotional, warm, and beautifully made. The kind of series that reminds you why you fell in love with GL dramas in the first place.

One of the best dramas
I don't normally write reviews. But I felt the need to do so for this one. I don't know where to begin. I'm out of words, all the emotions I felt watching this masterpiece. It left me in tears. It's called 'Queen of tears', after all. From the first episode to the very last, I was crying, laughing, then crying again. I felt angry, sad, and happy. The last time I felt all this from a show was "Crash landing on you." It was my number one. Now I have 2 number one cause I can't choose between them. What I can easily say is that it's one of the best kdramas I've ever watched.Best performance from all cast I wouldn't change any of them. They cast the best for each role. The chemistry between Kim Ji-Won and Kim Soo-hyun is top-notch. I will miss each and every one of them. My weekends won't be the same.
If you like crash landing on you, you will definitely like this one for sure. I recommend this show 100%

Looking for your next obsession?
Harmony Secret is a series you don’t want to miss. Every episode keeps you hooked from start to finish.The mix of rivalry and romance is so addictive.Lookmhee & Sonya don’t just act, they live their roles. Their chemistry is so natural that sometimes it feels like you’re intruding on real moments rather than watching a scripted series. And that’s rare. Every scene between Mewika and Aiwarin is full of tension and emotion. Outstanding performances.
The scenes look beautiful and flow smoothly, the music hits just right, and it really makes you feel what the characters are feeling. Even the side characters are fun and interesting, adding to the story without stealing the show from Mewika and Aiwarin.

A must watch !!!
You've got to give this show a chance, it's absolutely incredible! Trust me, you won't be disappointed. Every episode is an emotional rollercoaster. The acting is so so so good. The chemistry between the two leads (Lee Hye Ri &Chung Su Bin) is top notch. The only problem, the episodes are too short.
Open ending that leaves you maybe waiting for something more. Still, it's a happy end. That's a win so I'll take it.
Overall an amazing series
It's definitely worth it! Highly recommended. Hope for a second season!!!

Tender, honest, and unforgettable.
Us: The Series is a refreshing and heartfelt addition to the Thai GL genre.From its first episode, the series draws you in with its storytelling and raw emotional depth. Rather than rushing through its story, the series takes its time, allowing the characters and their emotions to unfold naturally, allowing viewers to connect with them in a very real and intimate way.
Bonnie and Emi deliver standout performances as Dokrak and Pam, portraying their characters with sincerity.Their chemistry feels natural and real, making their relationship one of the most believable and emotionally resonant in recent GL shows. Each interaction, whether it's a glance, a hesitant touch or a moment of vulnerability, feels genuine.
Dokrak's inner conflict of falling for her brother’s ex-girlfriend is handled with sensitivity, showcasing the complexity of the situation without exaggerating it.
Visually, the series is soft and warm, with a color palette and cinematography that mirrors the emotional tones of the story.
In conclusion, Us isn’t just a GL series; it’s a touching story about human connection, acceptance, and finding the courage to follow your heart. It’s a slow-burn in the best way, totally worth it. For anyone looking for a well-acted, emotionally moving GL drama with beautiful story telling should definitely give it a try. Us is a must watch!
