The youtube cut isn't in portrait mode.

For all those who like Pinoy BL series, but are frustrated about Oxin productions, I would recommend "My Plantito". There are 2 main leads - Kych Minemoto, who has proven that he can act, and Michael Ver Comaling, a Mister Grand Philippines with a captivating smile and some more qualities when shirtless, which fortunately happens frequently. There are only 2 support characters, the script is simple, but there is one, and the production quality is better than in many other Pinoy Bls. The series premiered unsubbed on Tiktok, but is now airing on Puregold's youtube channel with English subs.

I like it. It's entertaining, the production quality is good, and although this is sponsored by a chain of grocery stores, product placement isn't as omnipresent as in many Thai BL series.

As everything in life is relative, I would say that this week's episode was the best so far - in a relative sense. Some Fizeke scenes had the charm and authenticity as in season 1, Kevin has been turned into a character with a credible story, and Jake Villamir, or Jake Sevilla, as he usually calls himself, is a good singer.

Exactly, plus heavy on food, but it has Frank with short hair and the runtime is less than 10 minutes, so episode 1 was no waste of time.

One of the best series of 2023. An unusual love story, brilliantly written, directed, and acted. Since the final episode left a lot of questions unanswered, I'd love to see in season 2 how these two guys get along.

This is an exceptional series. It's rare for a BL series that the protagonists actually speak frankly with each other - so many mediocre series are based on unnecessary misunderstandings. It's also hard not to fall in love with Ryuji, the best friend everybody can wish for, and Amane, whose smile is so cute and whose laughing is contagious, and still we know what he's hiding behind it. Japan is setting the bar for BL series very high these days.

That was a fantastic episode.

Many Thai Bl series with such a long runtime are artificially dragged, but this isn't. Every time an episode is over, I wonder, is it really over yet? I think I wrote it before, but I'm writing it again: This is a masterpiece.

Great start. Writing, cinematography and acting are good, and the leads have an amazing chemistry. Looks like we're going to get the next beautiful JBL, although I'm already sad that it has only 5 episodes.

This series is a beautiful display of an extraordinary love, so well written and brilliantly acted. After "Utsukushii Kare", another "wow" JBL.

It's a comedy and at the same time so much more than that. Beautiful movie.

The series starts airing on Puregold's youtube channel on Oct 7 (with eng subs)

Are we getting a BL subplot now? Tim and Poch's basketball scene was intense.

It's a funny rom-com, great acting and writing, but often OTT, and with artificial laughter that got on my nerves sometimes. LAZ 1 only have a cameo in one episode.

The Chen family home is the haunted house from "Rose in da House". The ghost seems to have retired, but strange things are still happening there.

It will be on Friday, Oct 6, on gaga and viki

Just as Hiro and Jericho are the new princes of Pinoy BL, and the most amazing pairing since Elijah and Kokoy, Daou and Offroad are the most thrilling Thai BL pairing since, hmm, since when really? I wonder if there has ever been a Thai BL couple that was as natural as them. PP Krit and Billkin maybe?

Most of what I wanted to say has been said by others, so I won't repeat all the complaints about unnecessary side characters, the destruction of the stellar main couple, and abysmal writing in general. But there's one thing I'd like to add. It's about Geo Emprese. I've been Gio's fan since his wonderful performance in the "Meet My Angel" series, and I've always been embarrassed by the way his characters are so OTT, which can be funny if well written, but which it isn't in Oxin productions. In this episode, for a short moment in the office scene, there was a glimpse of what he's really capable of. Like in the best Fifth-Zeke scenes I have a hunch that this was improvised.

"Utsukushii Kare" is among my all-time favourite BL series, but "My Personal Weatherman" comes very close, and episode 6 was again brilliant, displaying the leads' love despite their misunderstandings.
