A Decent Series

Like I previously stated, after watching Gaya Sa Pelikula and Gameboys, my expectations for Philipino BLs are high and even higher for BLs in general. So with My Day, I wasn't disappointed, but it didn't have the same touch that the others did.

Let's Dive In.

The first few episodes of this series were the best. The concept was new, which I can always appreciate, and from the beginning, I really enjoyed the two main leads. I think my favorite part was them going on their little trip with their coworkers and the cliche drowning scene (what can I say? I'm a sucker for cliches). For the most part, I didn't have a problem with this plot, until we got the the later half of the show. Everything felt like a filler moment, and nothing was quite understandable from the getgo. The acting is also not that great, especially when it come to crying scenes. By the end, I was kind of over this show and just ready to move on. I was also over it cause they had the mean ex-girlfriend go and try to sabatoage their relationship.

Overall, not a bad watch, this show is kind of forgettable, and a bit cliche, but it wasn't bad. It also didn't hurt that the actors did have good chemistry and their intimate scenes were done very nicely. Wouldn't neccassily recommend it, but I wouldn't knock it off either.

A Beautiful Love Story

I can't even example in enough words how heartwarming and precious Gameboys is. This series has shot up to be my number 1 favorite BL of all time. To have the ability to tell a love story that is accurate with current times (those current time being us stuck in the middle of a panoramic), and still be able to pull off an enticing romance is astounding. Gav and Cai bring to us a gorgeous love story full of truth, laughter, misery, and passion.

Let's Dive In.

Usually, the first episode is the worst for me. It mostly likely boring cause we have to learn about the characters, most likely their backstories, world-building, and the start of the plot. But, with this show, I was pulled in from the first 10 minutes. The majority of this show takes place on a laptop, with the main characters only really bonding with one another over the screen. That's what pulled me in first; I could tell this wasn't going to be anything like I had ever seen before. The concept is the best I've seen out of any concept in BL. How can one make a connection with another over the screen? Well, Gave and Cai figures it out. Both actors did an amazing job. By far, Gav was my favorite character. I loved the way he teased Cai, and I loved how expressive he was with his feelings from the very beginning. I also like how he was already openly gay. We don't see that much in BLs usually. Most of the time we have to see them figuring themselves out, and I liked that Gav already went through that offscreen. There was nothing that I can say I hated about this couple, everything was pretty much perfect. I believe my favorite part was the mini montage of them going through different activities together online, or maybe it was that breathtaking kiss. Either way, Gav and Cai hold a very special place in my heart.

Pearl is the best friend anyone could ask for. I loved how she was basically there to support Gav and cheer on both of them. Thank god she wasn't the awful ex-girlfriend that every series has. Instead, she was there for both of them, and her spirit was absolutely amazing. We see a glimpse into her story with finding her own love, which is continued in Pearl Next Door. Westley and Terrence served as a nice somewhat side couple. We don't get much with them, mostly just a special episode, but I didn't pay much attention to them. I believe they are supposed to be getting their own series, but I'm not too sure. In the series though, they both served as the turmoil between Gav and Cai, but I liked that it didn't drag on for too long and was resolved quickly.

Let's talk about the production team. I can't belive that this entire series was filmed using phones. They didn't use any heavy equipment, or professional cameras, it was all used on a freakin iPhone. That is some for real talent, That knowledge alone makes this series 10 times better knowing all of the dedication that went into this series.

All in all, this series deserves every acknowledgment it deserves. It's not necessarily an underrated series, but I don't think it has had the views it deserves. This series deserves to be just as big as 2gether, or even bigger. The Philipino Bls did not come here to play, they came here to win. Out of this one and Like In The Movies, my expectations for Bls now have exceedingly increased. Way to go The Philippines for telling stunning stories, and real-life depictions of same-sex relationships.

Should've Just Left It Where It Was At

Can lie, I was excited about this series. I was really looking forward to this (cause I’m an AePete fan, and I’ll shout it from the rooftops) but this was such a huge letdown. I don’t even know where to begin.

Let's Dive In.

Let start with TinCan. Yes, they were cute ( I guess), they had their precious moments, but then other times, I was highly uncomfortable and felt really awkward, but all in all, they were an okay couple. But, if Mean and Plan ever plan (hahaha) on doing another series again, can they PLEASE do a kissing workshop? Good Lord have mercy, that shit is so freaking awkward. It was like Mean would try, but then Plan wouldn’t or vice-versa, and then their kiss would be so bad like, dramatically bad. Other than that, I didn’t realize how much of a freak Can was. A surprising turnaround seeing as though he was the one that hated kissing (but also Tin would force himself onto him, so I guess it’s not that surprising) But those scenes were pretty awkward as well. I just think I’m not too big of a fan of TinCan, cause I really just don’t think they have that much chemistry (I think it’s more of the actors don’t have very good chemistry). It just feels like they don’t like being there, I don't know, that’s the mood I get. But, I did love how Can stood up for Tin when it came to Tin's brother, and his little whiny moments were precious. Don’t get me wrong, I think Plan is a fantastic actor (the crying scene in the locker room?? Yeah amazing) I just don’t think his chemistry with Mean is very good.

Moving on to Techno and Kengkla. From where we were coming from last season, I’m actually pretty satisfied with what they did with these characters. They didn’t pretend like the rape didn’t happen, and instead, they actually dealt with the matter. Techno told Kengkla that he wanted a break from him because of what he did, and he didn’t forgive him for what he had done. We see multiple times of Kengkla trying to get back on good terms with him, which would slowly progress to Techno talking to him again, but not until really the last episode in which I think they kissed. We see Techno having feelings for Kengkla, but he just wasn’t ready to deal with their situation yet. Very well done, although, I would've rather seen them get on good terms and become acquaintances rather than a couple. I don't care much for their relationship, just because Kengla ruined it, and there is no going back to that.

Moving on to Tul and Hin. I didn’t realize they were a BL couple until a few episodes down. They didn’t have very much screen time together until the last few episodes which is why I didn’t ship them. It kind of felt a little rushed at the end, but they were cute, and I’m glad they found their way back to each other. But, I would've liked to see more development between them.

Moving on to Tum and Tar. Also glad that they decided to keep their relationship strictly being only brothers. Very disappointed that we only go to see Earth-like once in a blue moon. Literally, Earth probably had a total of 5 minutes of screen time throughout the entire series. A stupid move honestly. Moving onto the last couple, which is Tum and the other guy in the band. Yeahhhhhh, they were lowkey kind of awkward. It felt like the series was forcing them to like each other. Their chemistry was just not there for me, and I would've rather they just kept Tum and Tar separate and single.

With the whole Pete being gone situation, I think they did a nice job. I would’ve liked to see Ae be officially over Pete since we know that LBC isn’t getting a season 3, so in that last bit when they added that Pete texted Ae that he was coming back, it was a stupid move on the creators part. I think they were trying to send us off on a good note, but instead, it gave false hope for people that Saint could possibly be back if there was another season. Other than that, Ae's sadness felt realistic, and Perth did a spot-on job.

All in all, this entire season was a mess. I think that Tin and Can got WAY too much scene time. I wish I could’ve seen more with Techno and Kengkla fixing their issues, and I wish I would’ve seen more Earth. There were way too many couples and it really jumbled up everything because there wasn’t enough time to balance them all out. Anyways, at first, I really wanted a season 3, but then I realized that I think they’re better off with just ending where they did. I think Love By Chance really died during this season, but hopefully, we continue to see more Tul and Hin and more Earth in the future.

Perfection

If I could give this show higher than a 10 then I 100 percent would. This served as my first Phillipino Bl series, and it has blown all my expectations out of the water. I thought I had seen good series, but they are nothing compared to Like In The Movies. I was recommended to watch this series, and this was literally the best-recommended thing I have ever received. Such a real depiction of a gay romance, and I couldn't have asked for anything more. Where do we start?

Let's Dive In.

I think Thai BLs can learn a thing or two from this series. It didn’t involve a 3rd person in the way, or some dumb trope about “I don’t like guys, I only like him” type shit. This shit was REAL and I mean Real as in Realistic. This show had me hooked from the start as soon as Karl saw Vlad dancing in his unit, I could tell that this series was about to be THAT bitch. I love the balance between the tough subjects and the humor. I mean, the humor was spot on. I laughed at pretty much everything. What I loved even more about this series is that Vlad was open about himself and the struggles that he goes through with his family. Us just watching the moments that Karl starts to fall in love with Vlad was so sentimental and so raw. These two actors have such amazing chemistry that it’s insane. Don’t get me started on when Karl gave Vlad his first slow dance. My heart couldn’t contain the emotions that I had. The vision of them dancing with the lights and all the other stuff, dude, I couldn’t take it. Another really raw moment was when Vlad and Karl got caught kissing, which wasn’t a very big deal, but in Karl's eyes, it changed everything. He was being real about his emotions, which was the best part about all of it. And then Vlad starts crying, so I start crying and it was so good.

Talking about that scene, let’s talk about the soundtrack. Good googly-moogly, I have never had so many emotions from just the song itself. Fools by Nathan and Mercury is such a FUCKING BOP. I have had that song on replay for two weeks straight after I had watched it. And I love who when moments were happening, we could see the lyrics of the song, and it just connected so well with whatever situation was going on.

The best part about this entire series, and I mean the best part, is between these two scenes: Karl having the heart-to-heart conversation with his Uncle, and Karl envisioning his alternate ending with Vlad. Both had me weeping like a fucking baby. Those were once again such raw and real emotions, and I couldn’t get enough of it. I loved the ending, it one of the best endings in BL by far. Karl is still figuring himself out, and even though he had come to terms with him being gay, there is still so much else he has to get through. Also, in the credits, Tay and New from DBK are mentioned as a thank you, which was really nice to see that others' series help to inspire others with their work.

This series rocked. We definitely deserve to see more of the realistic depictions that this series has shown. I’m very hopeful for a season 2, and I’m pretty sure we’re getting one. A definite recommend, and a definite favorite.

Real Love

This series was incredible. It was one of the first series that I watched and it actually depicted a real relationship, and how they can sometimes be. The concept of the show was beautiful, and all acting was amazing as well. This served as my very first Japanese series, and they absolutely killed it, I'm so excited to dive in and see more of what Japan has to offer.

Let's dive in.

This is one of the first series that I’ve seen where the couple actually grows with each other and gets older. Seeing them go through high school and college and then adulthood really added some needed flavor to this series. I think that aspect of the story was the best, and it made me fall more in love with this couple as they progressed.

This was a really beautiful story that was told. Ito Akira had me feeling so bad for him, but at the same time, I was so upset with him and society. He saw all of his other coworkers getting married and having kids, and he felt like he couldn’t do that with a man, no matter how in love he was. Raiku did an amazing job at paying Nishi. My favorite characters are always the ones that are the happiest and the bubbliest and I fell in love with him as soon as I saw his childlike ways.

My favorite part was definitely the end when they meet back up at the northern lights. It was also nice to see the little cameo of Wayne and Huang from MODC, it was definitely not expected.

The only thing I would argue about is the fact that Nishi had the exact same hairstyle for 20 years. Even though he is childlike and always bubbly, he still had a maturity growth somewhere in there, and even though this is a bit nit-picky, I just really wanted to see more of his growth throughout his adulthood, and some of that starts in his hair.

The show was real and raw, but cinematically perfect. This is definitely now one of my all-time favorite series.

Entertaining

Automatically after watching Ohm The Shipper, I wanted to watch him again. and which led me to He’s Coming to Me. and Let me just say, he didn't disappoint. I think this is the best acting I have ever seen from Ohm, and I'm so happy to see how well he has grown in his acting. I loved the story, I loved the characters, and I hope to see more of Singto and Ohm acting together.

Let's Dive In.

I love being brought to a brand new concept that I haven’t seen being planned out yet, so it was nice to see this one being about a mortal falling for a ghost that he can see. Ohm is once again the cutest human being ever, I swear he still looks like a 15-year-old boy stuck in a grown man's body. His acting is phenomenal in this, I loved the scene on the rooftop with him screaming and crying while it’s raining and not leaving until Thun appeared, but Thun was there, he just couldn’t see him. Ohm really went all out for that moment, and I have never pined for someone to hear him so badly in my life. While I did enjoy both Mase and Thun, I still wouldn't say I was begging for them to get together, mostly because they felt like bros at the beginning of the series, but it got better the more the show progressed. But even with that, Thun holding Mes' hand for the first time gave me butterflies.

I think this is the first series I’ve seen that actually really scared me. Learning the truth about what happened to Thun was really heartbreaking and pretty terrifying. I think the aspect of the mystery as to how and why Mes died was the best part of this series. I want to see more BL series have a well-adapted story. Overall, this was a really good series and I enjoyed myself while watching it.

Lee Se Jin for World Domination

Most of this review is me gushing over Lee Se Jin and how much I'm in love with him. He is half of this review; just him being in this series is already five stars. I loved this series so much. It was mushy and cute, and it was just a really fun watch.

Let's Dive In.

For the most part, I just liked this series cause it was lighthearted. After watching two very emotionally rating series, it was nice to get to this one and just be able to laugh along with the characters and their actions. Once again, Lee Se Jin had to have the best acting yet. He played an amazing bubbly and happy character, and he along with Jin Won made a perfect couple. The plot was new for me, I haven't seen any BL that revolved around track, or really sports in general. They both had their individual needs in why they needed to win the race, so them having to compete against one another while also being in love is a nice change in plot. The only things that I had a small problem with were how short the episodes were. It's a pattern that I'm noting all too well in Korean Bls. Why are they so short? Budgeting issues? set issues? Legal issues? I don't know, but just like Where your Eyes Linger, this BL in some parts felt rushed (a good example would be Go Sang Ha and the money he owed to that gang, it just wasn't developed well enough).

Overall, this was a very fu watch. This was one of those series that I would recommend to people getting into BL. It's lighthearted, a happy ending, and had excellent characters.

Good Watch

Where Your Eyes Linger served as my first Korean BL Series ever, and I was not left disappointed. I loved the concept of this series, and I loved the actors that starred in it. While it was good, it's one of those watches in which you enjoyed yourself, but it's not going to be very memorable. Not because it wasn't entertaining, but it was just an okay series. I wish there were longer episodes and more screen time. Some of the stories felt rushed and not executed as well as they could've been. But, I loved Kang Gook and Han Tae Joo. I loved how they reacted off of one another, and how we could obviously see their relationship developing deeper.

Overall, I recommend this, it was a fun and enjoyable watch and I hope we can see these actors again.

Confusion

This series was lighthearted but it was also a total mess. As much as I loved the concept, it was hard to understand any of it with the very poor screen time that was given. There were way too many couples. If we are only given five episodes, then this series only needed to show the main couple and not all the side ones. They were all rushed and underdeveloped that I really didn't care much for any of them besides Bright and August. I liked their story the most, and I would've rather just seen them with a well-developed story than other couples. I was so busy trying to remember who was who that I lost parts of the story. I won't shit on this show when it comes production-wise, since it was made in 2017, but gosh, did I hate the way this series was shot. Everywhere they went the setting was so minuscule and boring. Nothing about this series was very well put together, but I can't help but it was a coll watch.

Overall, I can't really hate this series. It was made in 2017, so for the content that is shown in this, it's pretty good. I wouldn't necessarily recommend a watch, especially since it's not needed to watch the second one.

Another Good Watch

This was a very lighthearted and fluffy watch. I'm pretty sure I finished this all in one day, just because I was obsessed with MIld and so happy that he finally got a starring role instead of being the supporting role. He did an incredible job at playing this shy and daydream character, and I'm really proud of him. There's nothing bad I can even say about this series. The plot was somewhat different than the usual BLs, but it was a teacher/student relationship, which is why I knocked off a point.

Let's Dive In.

I already touched bases on Mild's character, but Tee was an overall cinnamon roll. His shy lookaways, his cute little smile, there was nothing that I didn't like about him, he was perfect. The only thing I'd have to complain about is the number of times I was played due to Tee's uncontrollable daydreaming. At one point, I just decided to stop thinking anything was real with him. Onto Pond. Now, for some reason, I didn't realize that Pond and Per were played by the same actor. Am I a little slow? Probably so. But still, I really enjoyed Pond's character, but I found Per's story pretty irrelevant, just because it wasn't as well developed as Pond's. I thought of Pond more as Tee's senior classmate that helps him study. Thinking of them as a student and teacher really irks me. Other than that, their relationship was so precious and cute. All of their moments played out really well, but the best moment was their first kiss. Too precious.

Even though Pad was written to be the homophobic sister, this character was overly dramatic and played way too big. Nothing else in this series was played as big as she was, so each time she came up o the screen, it felt like I wasn't watching the same thing. But that can also be said with the character Thor. As much as I loved Thor and his sarcasm and comedy, he felt like he was in a completely different series. I don't know why it felt like this, but it truly did.

Tiger was those types of villains that you actually like. He did an incredible job at trying to get in between Pond and Tee, but I loved how he gave up because they were just too in love. The plot twist that he wasn't the actual Tiger was a nice touch. The ex-boyfriend was vicious and mean, but I liked that we had an established gay character, and instead, it wasn't the homophobic ex-girlfriend. I can't really recall who played the two high schoolers and the teacher, but their story was not needed in this series. I felt uncomfortable seeing both those guys falling heads over heels for him. It felt weird, and I didn't like it, I did. Tee's sister felt like she was added last minute to the series. We only got to see her a few times, and when we did, it was also with the irrelevant Per.

I really did enjoy this watch though. I can't help but love the lighthearted BL series that don't have some huge plot and instead is just full of fluffy and cute moments. I would definitely recommend this to watch.

Better than the Original

I very much I enjoyed the sequel more than I did the original. As much as I'm against sequels, this one was a definite need for 2gether. Even with the short five episodes, I was still captured by the story, swooning for ManType, and not wanting to punch Sarwat and Tine in the face.

Let's Dive In.

The plot for this was pretty simplistic, and not very busy, but honestly, it's what was needed for this series. The series before felt too complicated, and like it wasn't fleshed out like they had wanted it to be. With four couples, it can be difficult to fit in all of their stories without it feeling rushed or poorly developed. While we got plenty of SarawatTine and MilPhukong, I still wanted more ManType and WAY more DimGreen.

ManType was the only reason I was even interested in this sequel, and why I even enjoyed 2gether as much as I did. I won't avoid that this couple did have their problems, (Man being a big fat stalker), but I can't help but love them. This time around, they were the best thing to happen. We got to see them domestically, and I loved it so much. All their scene felt natural, and Man throwing a party for Type had to be one of my favorites, but my absolute favorite had to be their kiss on the beach. That entire scene was so funny and precious. Toptap and Mike do such an incredible job at making this show so lively and fun.

Mil and Phukong's story was better balanced and we finally got to see them get together. Even though it felt criminally slow and boring, it did finally wrap their story in a little bow and gave it a proper ending. I still feel like we missed a lot for this couple, and as much as I love Frank and Drake, their story felt unnecessary for the plot. They were one of the couples that definitely didn't need to play out. Thank you GMMTV for still going us NOTHING when it comes to Dew and Green. They barely had any screen time, and when they did, it was mostly them being upset at one another. I would love to see these two in another series, possibly one of their own.

I wasn't too big of a fan of Sarwat and Tine in the first series, but I really liked them in this one. It felt different, it finally felt like Bright and Win were able to find their connection right off the bat, I have to give Win a huge round of applause for his acting. He was by far my favorite actor in this series. He has seriously grown from the first series, and the best thing for me is to see how much an actor has grown.

Overall, this sequel was cute. This sequel was a definite need for the fans and a definite need for each couple's story. It's fun and pretty unproblematic, so I would for sure recommend a watch.

Sad Boi Hours

This was so emotionally torturing. I haven't felt so defeated by a BL EVER. Not even UWMA could break me down, but damn, this series was IT. It drew you in, it made you fall in love with these characters, it made you care for them with every ounce of your being, and then they go and crush your soul.

Let's Dive In.

I haven't seen any type of chemistry before Xiang Hao Ting and Yu Xi Gu. The way we felt about these characters, in the beginning, is so different from what we feel for them in the end. I hated Xiang Hao Ting. He had a player-type personality and treated Yu Xi Gu terribly. But, these characters grow with one another and throughout the story that it's so hard to continue to have that same hatred by the end. The way these dudes completely body slammed these roles is far beyond my imagination. They had the best acting I have ever seen, period. I would wonder at times if whether they were acting, or if they were for real having a breaking moment. It was so raw, it was so real, and I loved it with all my heart. While I wasn't too keen on Xiang touching Yu Xi Gu inappropriately (who cares if he was sick or out of it, it was wrong), I do like how they both took their time in deciding when the right time to have sex was. I feel like a lot of BLS skip this big moment and just kind of ignore the curiosity and the worry that surrounds sex, and just hops right into it. I loved that this series does that. A beautiful love story that leads to a sort of tragic ending.

The side couple wasn't my entire favorite, but I did enjoy them. Sun Bo Xiang was sometimes too overzealous, and a bit too prideful, but he did add that very much needed comedic relief to the series. Lu Zhi Gang is my favorite character. I loved his sternness and the way he carried himself. I think they're a perfect example of opposites do attract, and I really liked the way they built each other upon their weaknesses. Sun Bo Xiang lost my interest after he tried to force himself onto Lu Zhi Gang. It was inappropriate, and so not needed. Their sex scene is the most explicit thing that I have EVER seen in a BL ever before. I watched on Viki, so I had the pleasured opportunity to see other people's comments, and it had me laughing my ass off.

The ending, while it was tragic, was also left very ambiguous. So Yu Xi Gu died in a car accident, but then who was Xiang Hao Ting hanging with the entire time afterward??? Was that a guy that looked like him? Was that him imagining that he was still there?? Did the dude not actually die, and instead just lost all of his memories?? There are so many unanswered questions that lead the audience to not knowing, and I loved that. You can interpret how you want, and no answer is wrong.

Overall, this was an impressive series. Because of the really tragic ending, it's not my favorite HIStory, but it's definitely up there in my top 25. I heard they are coming out with a HIStory 4 that will have the same cast. I don't know if it's a continuation or a different story, but I'm excited to see them on screen again.

The Only En of Love People Liked

The En of Love trilogy was honestly a complete mess. None of the stories were 100 percent likable, and they all had their faults. This one in particular was my least favorite out of the bunch, and yes, I know how much of a catastrophe Tossara is.

Let's Dive In.

Although I did somewhat enjoy Vee and Mark’s story, I couldn’t help but be once again disappointed. I HATE drunk sex, the consent of drunk sex is so ambiguous, and in real life, it's dangerous, especially with a complete stranger. I like hookups when each person is sober and aware of the actions their making. So, right off the bat, that’s what we’re hit with. Not only that, but Vee has a girlfriend for the majority of the time they were hooking up. No matter the circumstances or situation, it is never okay to cheat!! I agreed with Mark’s attitude on not wanting to talk to Vee and wanting to just forget him altogether. But with three words, and some puppy dog eyes, Mark just forgave him? The hell? Vee kissed his ex right in front of Mark (even if she was highly manipulative) and just three overly-expressive words later and we’re all good? Nah. I really wanted to see Vee fight for Mark, to really go and make up for what he did, but whatever. The thing I liked most was War's acting. He does such an amazing job at expressing his feeling through his eyes. I loved seeing him on the screen, and I hope to see him in future projects.

I wish this was a full series rather than just a 4-episode mini one. It felt super rushed, and could’ve been better if there was more time in between to show some of the things that weren't shown due to their 4 episode limit. I wouldn't necessarily recommend this show, just because there are better series out there, but it did keep me entertained, and I appreciate that.

Another RamKing Lover

I was immediately turned off by this series due to the simplicity that is the title. I was thinking, "not another engineering plot where he's going to bully the poor dude until he realizes he's in love with him", but I was pleasantly surprised to see that that wasn't 100 percent the plot. But back to the title, I can think of a few titles that would've been better; A Rose For My Love, One Rose at A Time, Journies of Our Love. Literally, there is so much wordplay here. But, looking past the ugly that is the title, this series was so entertaining and a twist on the usual engineering stories we see.

Let's Dive in.

Let's talk about the main couple first. While I was a little bored at the beginning, they slowly started to grow on me. I liked that Duen was a hard-to-get type of person. he was a challenge for Bohn, and I enjoyed watching him work to get him. I also liked how Bohn wouldn't do anything that Duen didn't want. It was a change from the usual story that ignores consent. One thing that aggravating me with them was Bohn’s overreaction to literally anything that Duen did. Can your boyfriend not exist outside of you? Can you let him breathe and talk to others without over-reacting? Bohn needed to take a huge chill pill before he lost Duen. good thing he got his act together by the end. Another nice touch was their little siblings, they had a nice connection that kind of tied Bohn and Duen together. Overall, this couple was tolerable (kind of).

RamKing stole this entire season. It was the slow-burn, it was the requited love, it was the looks, and the music, and the KISS. Absolutely loved their concept. Ram never really talked, but the eccentric King wanted to be his friend, and get him out of his comfort zone. I think it was the way that Ram never talked, and kind of only talked to King that did it for me The first time he spoke to him formally was the best thing ever. The moment and everything were just perfect. I am so excited to see them in season 2, I literally miss them every single day.

The production messed up Boss and Mek's story. The voice-over on Mek was the worst thing I ever heard. I read somewhere that they voice-covered the actor who played Mek because he was either speaking Mandrin, or his Thai pronunciation wasn't good. I'm not entirely sure of which it was, but he will no longer be in season 2. If anything, they could've just kept his actual voice and do subtitles. The voice-over was distracting and annoying. Other than that, they were pretty cute. Even though I love friends to lovers, I didn't quite love them. It felt like a bromance, or best friends rather than a couple. The chemistry between the two actors was not really there. I don't know if they're replacing Mek's actor, or just scraping his character altogether. whatever they do, I hope it's fair to Boss' actor that did an incredible job.

Loved the chemistry between Dr. Thara and Frong. I remember getting so excited each time they popped up on the screen. Would've much rather seen their plot out a whole lot more than I did Mek and Boss.

This series was saved by RamKing, it's one of the reasons that it is so high on my top 25. Other than that, this show is okay, but could use a little bit of tweaking.

Super Fun Watch

I really enjoyed Our Skyy. getting to see the continued stories of these beloved characters was just so much fun.

In order of my favorite episodes: Kongpob and Arthit, Tee and Mork, Pete and Kao, In and Sun, and last but not least Rome and Pick.

Kongpob and Arthit: 9/10

I fell in love with their episode. Krist did an amazing job in this episode. He did such a good job at portraying that hidden emotion behind his eyes when he heard the news. Overall, their story made me actually feel something. Their relationship is so natural and so free that I just can't help but love them so much. My favorite part was the montage of their past series, and when Arthit showed up at the airport. I can't explain how amazing their chemistry is, and I would love to see them in future series.

Tee and Mork: 8/10

I loved the chemistry between them. The small kisses on the head, the hugs; it was just really the small moments that made me loved their relationship the best. We got to see Morn and Gord! Yay! I loved them so much, their friendship is the cutest, and I was happy to see them again. The only downside to this couple is the entire plot. As much as they have the best chemistry, they have the worst communication. Gord was the one that was messaging Tee as a female, in which he thought Mork was cheating on him. If he had just done a bit of communicating, then the whole solution could've been resolved sooner. The band playing for Tee was the cutest thing ever. It was so perfect for the two of them, and the public kiss made it even better.

Pete and Kao: 8/10

The concept of their episode was clever. it was different, and it was a fun watch. It was probably the most comedic episode out of all of them, the fake death was hilarious, but my favorite part had to be them going out and buying a plant. My only problem was that Pete was so mean to Kao. it's like he had this grudge against him, which I guess is part of his personality, but in this episode, it felt to be a bit much. They have been dating for some time now, so it felt off for him to be so grudgey against Kao.

In and Sun: 6/10
I mostly just liked this episode because Mike was in it. I'm always used to seeing Mike as the comedic relief, but in this one, he was so serious, and I couldn't believe it was him for a second. I liked that he was kind of the wingman that was helping Sun try to get back with In. My favorite scene had to be the one in the bed. it was adorable and cute, and I loved it. The only reason I scored this episode so low is that I didn't watch In and Sun, which I think they were in My Dear Loser. I put it on my on-hold list, just because it was a side BL, and I didn't feel like watching the main story.

Rome and Pick: 7/10
As much as I love Off and Gun in literally any series, this episode was my least favorite. First off, I never watched Puppy Honey for the same reason I didn't watch My Dear Loser; I wasn't interested in the main story plot. But this episode was the first, so I thought that it had set the concept for the rest of the episodes to follow, but I was wrong. it was completely different from the rest, and I didn't enjoy it all too much. Them switching bodies was fun, but it became pretty boring. There's just didn't make me feel anything, I didn't care too much for them.

Overall, this was a cute sequel to their stories. I recommend this to anyone that wants to see more of these couples, but also to anyone wanting to watch something that is pretty fun and lighthearted.
