Astounding two main couples

April 21, 2021

Damn, I must say given the reviews of other users for this series. I was expecting it to be really bad. But this drama is not. I understand that the plot can do a bit more work but if I am being honest I did not mind its imperfection. Maybe it's the casts that saved the show. But this is pretty good!!

Fighter and Tutor's dynamic as a couple is superb and as much as the typical BL misunderstanding that happens between them. I was not agitated as other users. I believe that they have a pretty healthy relationship. Moreover, I just wanna say in that one particular scene. The trust on them towels though. How did it not fall????? HMMM Also, Fighter do you have foot fetish or smt?? Cause this man do be eating Tutor's feet at the damn time...

SAI FAH IS MY MAN SORRY ZON. BUT HOW IS THIS MAN SO CHARMING LIKE THE WHOLE TIME IN THIS SERIES. SAI FAH KEPT STEALING MY ATTENTION. LOWKEY I GOT JEALOUS OF ZON LIKE GET ME A MAN LIKE SAI FAH PLEASE. HE IS SO FINE, FUNNY, AND CARING.

Anyway, on to their relationship, I feel like Zol really was the catalyst to Zon and Sai Fah's relationship. Their relationship did not show NSFW scenes like Fighter and Tutor but those kisses were bomb as hell. Still mad the directors cut the nsfw like they already slept together. UGh /hj

My friends better step up their game cause these four are squad goals I ain't kidding. Also, that last episode gave me diabetes like literally.

I feel like this is one of the few series where both main couples are strong. NO ONE OVERSHADOWED EACH OTHER!!

Get me a Taemu please and thank you

April 8, 2022

A Business Proposal has lined the cliché up and I am devouring all of it. Everything in this series is pretty much predictable and you can kinda see how it will end. However, episodes 1-11 were too good. The execution and the delivery of the cast carried the drama. So what I am trying to say is that A Business Proposal served all the clichés that we all love.

Although the reason for my 0.5 deduction is just cause the last episode was a little underwhelming. I am seeing other people’s comments and I am definitely going to read the webtoon. Because I did not get the satisfaction that I need.... I feel like it needs more and I feel like the timing is a little rushed. They could have given this series maybe 13 or even 14 episodes just to wrap it up nicely and not leave me with this unwavering feeling of unfulfilled.

But everything else is top notched. Along all the rom-coms released recently, A Business Proposal ate and devoured all of them. A Business Proposal really up the game for the Rom-coms for the first half of 2022!

S-tier show, a memoir of life

March 30, 2025

I love this drama. After being on hiatus from watching drama series, When Life Gives You Tangerines set the stone in developing the strength of what it takes to really amply and tell that slice-of-life melodrama.

This drama is so good, it is well produced. The execution of scenes, the casts, the storytelling, it brought me to life. To really have more appreciation for how my life is no matter how shitty and low life can be. It is true, we need to take care of ourselves. There are instances where we had no choice but to really compromise. I love it. I feel so speechless finishing it now. Binging it for 2 days definitely shows how hooked I was. I could not put it on hold.

I feel that empathy really is highlighted in this show because the way we can see parallels between the generations of people. Life truly is just like that.

The life lessons, the perspectives, the risks, the tragedy, the failure, the happiness, the grief of losing our loved ones, aging, all of these are just so raw. Hence why this show really connected to me and my heart strings were tug a couple times for sure. Afterall, there is no villain in this show, just the course of nature and how life goes...

Too hot for the Rain

Edit April 26, 2023. For some reason I can't watch Sky and Prapai. So this 9.5/10 review is only the first half of the series.

September 30, 2022

Review for: Payu and Rain arc

Oh my god! Love In The Air: Payu and Rain is the bitch. They ran and pushed forth as one of my favourite bls for this year. I was originally going to wait until Nov to watch this series in a binge way. But one of my friends said that the first main couple's story was done now. So I decided to watch it right away. To be frank, I only started watching this show yesterday and I finished Payu and Rain's plot already, which were episodes 1-7. The reason I put the 9 on the story segment is because I feel like yea there are parts that don't make sense especially in episode 7. If you know, you know ahahah. Anyway, that part didn’t really bother me too much, I kinda skip my way away from what happened. So yes, in a way I kinda did shut off my brain regarding certain part of the plot. I guess the reason why some of the plot holes didn't bother me too much is because of how great the actors are in this series. If I am being honest, if the casts were only giving 'mid' tier or poor acting, I would have probably dropped this series just purely based on the plot. BUT since the casts carried the show and I just want to say how excellent the chemistry is between Payu and Rain.

In terms of their relationship, this might be one of Mame's least toxic unhealthy legal-friendly relationship that she has written. To be honest, I tend to avoid any dramas that she is involved just because of how unhealthy and how uncomfortable I felt in her other dramas I gave a shot. In which, I ultimately dropped. I don't know I just can't tolerate cheating and really pushy behaviours. However, for this one, Mame did a pretty good job in keeping Payu&Rain's relationship healthier.

I am so excited for Sky's arc to unfold so I will be back on Nov-ish... unless I get busy with other things. Anyways, until then soldiers!

I wanted more

Oct 15, 2023

Taikan Yoho is definitely one of the better bls released for the last quarter of 2023. Although, it poses the very red flag and toxic male lead, Segasaki, he is not as bad as what you might expect from the synopsis.

Obviously, this bl is adapted from a manga, so the delivery of certain lines was a bit off when the actors portrayed it. But nevertheless, it was not a huge thing for me to notice or for me to drop the show.

The plot is pretty cute but I did feel like the ending did not give a very good closure of the series. It just seemed like it got cut off right there.

I still think that the series is pretty decent in terms of comparison with the on going/recently released asian BLs.

Please give this show some love as it deserves it!

Another S-Tier BL that I watched

May 18, 2026

I am so happy I ran into the edits of Tada and Armin in TikTok cause this thai BL truly had me on a chokehold. The way I devoured the series in one sitting in a day is just diabolical in a good way. I think truly part of it is that a lot of the Thai BLs I have been watching has not been hitting the right spot hence why I dropped them. I mean like they get too cringey and loses the plot. Sometimes, the leads get too annoying as they just have misunderstandings after misunderstandings for the sake of keeping the episodes longer. I truly think that Reset having 10 episodes is just perfect. It is the perfect runtime for the show and truly I do wish we had more cutesy couple scenes.

Armin and Tada's chemistry are so so strong like you can feel it through the screen and into your bloodstream. I truly understand why people can get annoyed at Armin because why he keeps ranting about the future in this new present past life of his. But I will defend him in a sense that, the man just woke up needing to find himself and having to reconsider if making this decisions can alter his future or make it worse. I think that I never felt an ounce of boredom watching this series contrary to others review.

And I will also say, I think that this Reset series is truly an S-Tier BL from the Thai industry. I will continuously look forward to rewatching this series in the future and so. I truly will miss Armin and Tada. AND ALSO I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE A TADA IN MY LIFE. He is such a good green flag man. He is a whole green ass forest that is for sure. I need my husband to be like him too pls and ty!!!!

SO FLUFFY AND WARM PERFECT FOR SPRING

May 17, 2026

This is such a good Chinese BL. I am in love with this series. I genuinely am shocked at how people rating it as low and boring which I totally get why. This drama is more on the slower pacing, it is more fluffy, and the second couple has more typical BL narratives of spice level. BUT, I truly love the character development of our leads which Cheng Ke and Yu Lei had. I think that China ate so hard for this show. Like I have nothing but praise because it is so warm and fluffy. I am in awe and I think I have every right to because every bi, gay, and queer men would love to have the romance that Cheng Ke and Yu Lei have. It is so pure and the development from friends to lovers hits so damn hard.

I genuinely hope people give this show the love and truly the appreciation it deserves, it is such a fresh breathtaking experience to watch especially in the heavily sexualized BL drama industry!

Inside the crevices of our minds

May 15, 2026

I love Yumi Cell's Season 3, I only completed this season as the other seasons where kinda a snooze fest to me. Regardless, I think that in the webtoon, I already had a strong grasp of the plot even though I never finished it either.

I really love the portrayal of Yumi here, I love the progression she had from season one to two and three. I think that her overall growth in season 3 is the reason I was finally able to complete this season. Maybe Ill revisit season 1 and 2 again to actually complete them. Regardless, I don't think you truly need to watch all of season 1 and 2 to get the full details of the plot.

I love this little slice of life, henceforth a little deep dive into our brain thinking processes are just chef's kiss.

A smooth sailing slow ride

March 8, 2026

WHOA, another Cdrama that is just right to watch in the spring. The blossoming of hope and happiness, a true abundance of joy and healing.

Shine On Me really shined through my heart as I love how thoughtful and calm this series is. It is on the slower pacing but it feels just right. Our ml and fl are such power couples, I love them. They truly embodies being the boss of themselves and a complementary pair. In a way where they do not need each other to be completed rather they complement. I truly had the joy of watching this series and heck I binged it in like two days or so. I love love love green flags and also I love how they utilized both rich leads instead of the classic rich x poor troupe.

The second ML deserves what he got, I think it was his ego and pride that really struck him down. This Cdrama really gives a reality check for some people who is always waiting for the right moment, when in reality you gotta seize the moment or else it will slip away.

So cute and fluffy

Jan. 6, 2025

THIS IS SO CUTE AND FLUFFY. I love this Japanese BL, it is so simple yet it is so charming. There is something about the cast, the execution of the scenes that really carried out how to special this show to me.

The chemistry between the leads are off the charts, and it has attained such cuteness and fluff that I am not irked by it! Rather I am more hooked on as I move on the next episodes. It feels like I have found such show that has been kind of not as common recently.

This is one of those shows that I will definitely rewatch over and over again. I feel like I am such a child being amused with such joy. I am so happy to start of the year with this BL. I will definitely be putting this as those S-tier drama.

ONLY HEAVEN KNOWS

Dec. 16, 2025

I am so blessed to be watching this show cause Love in the Clouds is that WUXIA and CDRAMA of 2025. I have been experiencing really bad slump lately and this show just eats so hard.

I love how Ming Yi is such a badass female lead, she really is able to put her worth and decisiveness to the front. I know that Ji BoZai is a fantastic male lead, I feel like they are just that miscommunication boss couple, but it is so understanding why they would do such things. After all, they are so devoted to each other. I would rewatch this show over and over again.

The plot twists, the build up is just amazing. I can't wait to read the novel when I have time!

Slow and smooth

March 31, 2024

Jazz for Two is a decent Korean BL drama. It has some homophobic and violent content so, if you are looking for fluffy and cute plots, then I suggest that this might not be the show for you.

I feel like the manhwa will give you a better understanding of the characters given how short the series is. So there are instances where the plot feels jagged in terms of the storyline of our leads. I do love their dynamic and the chemistry is definitely there. It isn't as strong as what I expected from them, but I guess this is my bias in comparison to the manhwa.

Nevertheless, it was still a fun ride watching Jazz for Two and I hope you guys can give this KBL a shot !

ANOTHER WAY TO REWATCH on heavy focus with our main leads

Mar. 13 , 2024

I actually did not know that this version exists until I was on my rewatching moment with The Untamed and I stumbled upon this version.

Needless to say, I definitely loved this version as well. The focus towards Lan Zhan and Wei Wuxian is just chef's kiss. The fact that the subtle change in the ending really made this version so good.

As someone who loves The Untamed. I heavily vouch to not watch this special version cut and watch the original version. As this has made so much cut regarding very important details and back stories. IF YOU HAVENT THE ORIGINAL YET. However, if you are like me and love to rewatch series over and over again. Then this special version is perfect for you. It is much easier to watch given how compressed it is as well.

CHEERS !!

Amazing storyline with charismatic casts

Feb. 1, 2024

Love for Love's Sake is that Korean drama BL. It is one of the best written shows for the BL genre in a while. I am so happy and amazed at how the storyline progressed. Each episodes, the story just keeps hitting the write spot. And I am really really happy at how the Kdrama community is showing love and recognition to this type of plot line. As a big manhwa reader, this type of plot may not be other people's cup of tea as it is very unrealistic in terms of how it is a gameline and kind of like an isekai genre.

Huge shout out to the production team and the manhwa creator as they really put the work needed to make this show just fantastic. I love the "learning"?, or the theme that they were conveying. Especially with the execution of the scenes. Although, there were parts that were omitted from the manhwa. It wasn't something that bothered me as much.

In terms of the casts, I love them all. They did equally well in terms of portraying the characters to life, and they were even able to put their own little spice and twists to them.

I can't believe that the year has just started and Korea has already produced a remarkable BL that sets the standards so high.

Please continue to give the reception and love this show deserves!
