This series has been quite a surprise. I didn't expect much after the disaster of "Enchanté", but both Book and Force have come a long way since then, and the series as a whole was a pleasure to watch - simple and fluffy.

I hope that the series starting next Friday "Be My favorite" won't be a disappointment as I expect a lot because I've loved Krist since the days of "Sotus" and Gawin since "Dark Blue Kiss".

This is one of the most beautiful BL series of all times.

I watched the original series twice, and now I'm watching the complete edition which isn't much different from the original one, but this series is so beautiful - maybe one of the most beautiful BL series of all times - that it's worth rewatching, maybe even a fourth or fifth time.

It's MDL's rating algorithm. If you look at the ratings in the age groups, the lowest is 7.8, and in most age groups it's above 8.

Episode 7 has been the most beautiful episode of a series that's been beautiful from the very beginning. The way Yutaka, Minoru and Tane, who are all suffering from traumatic experiences, get closer and closer to overcome their pains and sorrows, and the way the actors personify their hurting souls, is heartbreaking and encouraging at the same time.

This show is growing on me from week to week. It's a simple story that's heartwarming because of the great chemistry of the leads. There's no artificial drama, and I'm confident that the writers will handle the ex-problem as easily as they handled all the rest. Too bad the journey will already be over next week.

After we've had some really good Korean BLs this year, this series is weak in every aspect except the singing of the ML.

Except for The Eclipse, which was at least watchable, the other episodes of OS2 were disappointing, and the first MSP episode was nothing but a missed opportunity.

Season 2 of "Papa, What is Love?" coming soon. Here's a BTS filmed by Kokoy de Santos:

I like Title very much, and after the first two episodes of this I thought he had finally had the good luck of playing in a good series after he used to have the bad luck of playing in bad series before. After episode 3 it looks like he's back where he used to be. How are they going to fill 12 episodes when they already fill the third episode with unnecessary flashbacks? I'm glad that I'm not the only one who thought I was watching a previous episode.

Maybe they should turn the cat into a human and find a cute guy to play him so that we can have a love triangle to fill the remaining 9 episodes?

It isn't only the writing. Casting seems to be a problem, too, because Leilani Kate Yalung (the restaurant owner) can't act at all, and tbh Miko is very weak, too. James Ramada has proven in TTLS and "Osmosis" that he can act, but here his overacting hurts, which may be the director's fault. And if I start talking about that dog, this will become rant, so I'll stop here. I love the red haired guy, though, because he comes across completely authentic.

Hiro and Jericho do deserve their own series, so I'm happy for them, but I'm a little nervous if "My Day 3" is written, casted and directed by the same people as this one.

Bokura no Shokutaku and Zenra Meshi are both Japanese and food-related, they are both very well written, directed, and acted, they both deal with shy, adult men very cautiously getting closer to each other, but they are completely different. They are my favourite series at the moment and make me forget all the trash coming from Thailand these days.

In previous episodes, I focused so much on lovely Tane that I almost overlooked Inukai and Iijima's great chemistry and brilliant acting, so I'm happy that they got their quality time together alone in this episode. This is a wonderful series even when Tane is taking a break, but even today he set the highlight of the show when he asked his father if Yutaka was going to die. That was a very special moment, and another proof of the beautiful writing of this series.

What a great little feelgood love story it's been so far! I only hope there won't be unnecessary drama and angst in the second half of the show.

I usually like series with shorter episodes better than Thai series that drag on and on, but in this case there are just too many characters and subplots packed into 15 minutes, so everything seems rushed.

I like this show, but do they really need to extend episodes to 80 minutes? Telling the story in half that time would have been less boring, and Bruce and Up would still have had enough time to shine.

I agree that he was brilliant in "Stranded". Perth is no 2 on the list of my favourite Thai BL actors, and he would be no 1 if I didn't love PP Krit so much.

That's easy - just rewatch it. That's what I did today, and it was worth it.

This is really very hard to watch. The lead couple have zero chemistry, the Miss Becky story is embarrassing, and I don't want to watch people running around looking for a dog for ages, or listen to grown men sitting in the dark asking each other questions like 12-year-olds. I'm only sticking with it because of the Zeke/Fifth subplot - everything else is unnecessary and nonsensical.

Lakan is one of my favourite - and completely underrated - Pinoy series, and it's a pity that Paul and John's "Turbulence" series hasn't been completed although the raw material is all there. I've also been a fan of Mark Erasga, and all of his series are also completely underrated like most Pinoy series, especially Clik Clak Clok. I'm surprised that "The day I loved you" is rated at 8.0 which feels like the highest rating for a Pinoy series since Gaya Sa Pelikula.
