Rock-hearted Possessive ML Falls in Love Deeply
I have only good things to say about this show so far. It’s for sure one of the best KBLs we’ve had this year and I’m so grateful for that.Now to the review, you know I always keep it simple to avoid spoilers, but this series tells the story of a possessive but warm-hearted man who falls in love with his soft, honest and easy-going flatmate…
But wait, there’s more to the story, eager to find out?? Then, you should watch it!

Slowburn, Intense Chemistry and Story That Keeps You at the Edge of Your Seat
Okay listen, I have nothing but good things to say about this BL!As someone who’s a big fan of Lakorns, this right here? ANOTHER AMAZING LAKORN from one31. They just don’t miss!
And yes, I’ll say it proudly… I like generic tropes. If you watch enough Lakorns, you already know how these stories usually go. It’s predictable, it’s dramatic, it’s emotional, and honestly? That’s exactly why I love it. This “cliché” setup? I’ll eat it up every single time. I never get tired of it.
Also, if you’re like me and you prefer seeing actual feelings develop — like slow-burn, real chemistry — and not just random NC scenes thrown in every episode… this one’s for you. The pacing is chef’s kiss; it builds so naturally, and every episode just makes you want to watch the next.
I binged all eight episodes in one sitting (no regrets) and I’m saving the last four to binge together again. So if you’re not watching yet, I’ll assume you’re just letting it marinate too, so you can watch it all at once like me…
Honestly, it’s such a beautiful story; to say i’m obsessed would be an understatement cos I AM OBSESSED.
Definitely on my Best BLs of 2025 list already!

A Must-Watch for all Chinese BL Fans!!!
I can't get over this one!!!See, I knew right after watching the first episode that I had to let it marinate before watching! And five episodes out, I went back to it and wish I had been patient enough to wait for all nine episodes.
It is a good watch!
Don't even hesitate, get into it! And please don't skip after the first two episodes because let me tell you something, episode three is where it starts to hook you in!
I have so much to say about this show but I'll save it! You should watch it and see for yourself.
I'll just say one thing though - THE DETECTIVE AND THE INVESTIGATOR???!!! EXCUSE MEEE!!! Side romance that we didn't know we needed.
I haven't read the story, so I'm new to the whole thing but will definitely be reading it later.
Why are you still reading? Start the show already!!!!

Not a Fan of Horror Shows And…
This one is no different.Yeah, that’s it. Personally, I’ve never been a fan of horror shows but I decided to watch this one cos it’s BL (duhh) and I liked the ML in Paradise of Thorns.
Yeah, I still like his acting here and it’s the reason I’ve watched all released episodes so far. Keng is an amazing actor.
Now about this BL show? Idk man. It’s a weird one is all I can say. Aside the fact that it’s horror (a genre I don’t like) it has nothing else to make up for being a genre that’s a hard-watch for me.
The romance aspect? It’s just so-so. I liked the second leads romantic interactions (not so much) but it’s a good reason to give this a try if you want to.
I’m dropping this show but I don’t regret watching it and won’t ask for my time back lol.
However, it is just NOT my type of story AT ALL.
I do not like the plot, the reincarnation trope too has never been my favorite, also the romance is kinda like a by the way and the horror aspect takes the forefront.
You might like it, who knows? Watch to find out, I guess…

Well, I Love Shows about… Food
I don’t have much to say about this drama because unlike many other viewers, I did not watch it for the plot.Okay, wait omg, hear me out, yeah sure, a show should have a good storyline for you to watch and enjoy it BUT I didn’t go into this one hoping to enjoy the plot.
In all honesty, if you ask me what the story is about, I’ll probably have nothing to say.
“So, why the 7.5 ratings if the story is forgettable?” 😏
I’ll tell you.
THE FOOD. THE COOKING. HOW THE CHARACTERS TREAT FOOD LIKE IT IS PURE ART.
That’s all. That’s the only reason this drama show was a good watch for me.
I just love the cooking, the food, the trad cooking competition …
Now if you’re looking for a fascinating romcom drama, or something with romance that will make you swoon, this is not that show.
Oh, I also have to add that Lee Chae Min outdid himself with this one. His acting was commendable. And to think I almost didn’t watch this because I was scared he might not be the best cast for the “Tyrant King” character. But surprisingly, he proved himself as a versatile actor.
Anywaysss, that being said, is this a terrible show? Absolutely not! Is it a great one? Umm, not really.

Surprising Japanese BL but a Good Watch Overall
This one is...different and I love it.I'm a sucker for JBLs, so this review might be a bit biased but WHAT?
Honestly, I didn't read the synopsis or anything before starting it and didn't imagine the story would take this turn.
Five episodes in and it's a surprising yet interesting BL. It's unlike many of the high school JBLs I've seen and I love it for that.
So far so good and I can't wait for the other episodes.
Wondering if you should watch it? Stop wondering and start it ASAP

I Expected So Much More…
This show is kinda like a let down? Idk, like the beginning made it seem like we’re going to get a good story, but it ended up just being…meh.I mean, it’s not terrible but the strong start might raise your hope…
All in all, wasn’t a terrible watch but it’s not on the list of my “recommendable” BL shows.

I Yearn for a Second Season…
This show will be a little above “okay” if there’s a follow up season…Why?
The ending feels so rushed and we didn’t get to see the characters “experience” each other in a romantic way.
I don’t even know where to fit this on the romance chart because it was all just angst from episode one to the last.
Oh, we did get some crumbs of almost-romantic moments but how is that even all we get?
Overall, it’s not a terrible watch but more episodes would have even made it recommendable.
You can watch it but don’t expect too much.

A Good Watch and an Emotional Rollercoaster
I was a bit reluctant to start this one but finally decided to give it a chance today and was hooked. Binged the first four episodes and looking forward to the next episodes.I won’t say much about the story to avoid spoilers but one minute I’m laughing, the next, I’m bawling my eyes out. And what does that tell you? It is, for sure, a good story. Emotional plot line and I love the concept too.
Ah, also the little romance blooming on the side is really cute to see, so yeah, there’s that too.
Overall, it’s a good show so far, and if just like me you’re also contemplating watching it, you should. I believe you won’t regret it.
I hope the quality stays consistent until the end of the show.

Punk Fashion Meets Interesting Love Story
Yes, I know it’s only two episodes into the show, but this is such a solid start.I didn’t expect to like the story the way I do. I love it; the first episode had my attention from start to finish.
I haven’t read the manga so I have no idea what’s to come but I can tell this will be another great JBL.
I won’t say much about the story to avoid spoilers; but I like the concept, the punk fashion style, the characters, and the plot too so far.
I’ll edit this review as I watch, but this is for anyone wondering if they should start this show - YOU SHOULD!

A Good One But First Throw Away Your Moral Compass
I want to say CBLs are notorious for making shows with morally grey characters, but you probably already know that too…Now, about this show? It’s not in any way a bad watch but I won’t call it a show for everyone.
If you love fluffy, cute, sweet, morally right…type of BLs, then please don’t bother with this one. The story is complex, dark, and not fluffy.
HOWEVER, if you want something that will keep you watching and characters that (will) know how to sway each other; this is the one!
The characters in this story are what I’ll call - good for each other.
It’s just two episodes in (I’ll edit this review as I watch) but so far the story is suspenseful and I can’t wait to see how everything unfolds.
If you want to watch it, then don’t hesitate, just do and see for yourself!

The Story of Bi Hyeong: Enchanted Master of the Goblin

I Don’t Know How to Feel About This One…
It’s a weird showReally weird one…
I mean the storyline wasn’t very intriguing, yeah, but I expected the delivery to be good.
It isn’t.
There’s something off about this series and I can’t write it out with words. It’s just something about it that bores you and quickly stops you from watching.
It could have been a good series (maybe?) but as it is, it’s not a BL show I’ll recommend to anyone.

Promising Start But Unfortunately…
I hate to say this, I almost did not want to leave this review, but I have to!First, let me start by saying WHEN I catch the writer and director of this show!!!!!!!!! Because how could they???!!
Wasted such good pairings (Daou-Off-road) and one of my favorites too. What could have been a very good BL turned out to be below average.
Now, let me say this, the bad quality of this show has nothing to do with the actors and everything to do with the terrible scripting.
It is…unbelievable, I’ll say. Especially since the story started out so strong and with such great potential but it got boring quickly and we have the plot line to blame for that.
I will be very honest here… this is not a series I would recommend … unfortunately.

Two Men, Good Chemistry and BOOKS…
I like the first episode and I’m hopeful I’ll like the other episodes.The story is different in a good way. Two matured men reconnecting and we will watch how love will bloom between them.
Also, as a book lover, I love the literature theme in this story. Love how art is positioned as a thing that heals and will bring the two men together.
I won’t say much yet to avoid spoilers but will come back to edit this when I’ve watched all the episodes because I’m certain I’ll watch this one till the end.
For anyone trying to decide if this is worth watching, it is. Give it a chance and you will be glad you did.

Friends to Lovers But With A Little Bit of Twist?
YES!What a good way to start the BL year! The beginning of this show is solid and has me looking forward to future episodes.
The story is nothing “special” but it feels different than other friends to lovers BL show.
I like the characters and the difference in their personalities. Acting is good too, and the boys will have good chemistry.
Overall, love story is promising and I’m curious to see how it develops.
Should you start it? Absolutely! So, you can join us on this what will be an interesting ride!
EDIT - (done watching, good watch, but could have been better)
