Watch the Special Ep if you Watched the Series!

After the previous event of Chalothon sacrificing himself for Tharn to live, both the main couple, Tharn and Phaya had a chance to continue living their life together with each other. In The Sign - Special Episode, the story revolved with a new case, wherein a man was kidnapped because he is hiding a flash drive containing important information about a sort of illegal gambling.

I will not make this review long, because I can't really watch all the scenes of this special episode without cringing.

Still, the bad parts are the editing and there are still scenes wherein they should be serious, but the characters are not.

I was surprised to see Saint act as Phaya's older brother in this series, but even his acting is not that convincing, and I felt like he is kind of stiff.

I still love how comfortable the characters are to each other. I can see that the casts are happy acting with each other.

I can see what will happen to it in the end. There is no element of surprise nor anything new to the series.

The NC scenes are so good. I love them, to be honest. The actors' kissing felt natural in my eyes. I feel like they are enjoying kissing one another in this series.

In totality, if you watched the series, then you must also watch the special episode because of how bad the ending of the series was. It is not that great. Disappointing to be honest, but still watch it, for experience lmao.

The Sign - A Hit or Miss BL Series

I saw The Sign as a must recommended BL Series from the TikTok application. They said that it is good and underrated that is why I decided to watch it. This review will be based only on my personal opinion and what I thought of while I am watching this series.

First of all, I love that The Sign is not the usual genre of BL Series wherein we always see the story in a school or office settings. The Sign's settings occur in a military or police based job, which depicts the life of a mature characters. A genre that is new to the eyes and taste of the viewers.

The Sign is all about Tharn, a person who can see "visions" about people around him, especially of Phaya. The story started with them training to become part of a special unit of the police. During their training, Tharn always saves Phaya whenever he see dangerous visions about him. They have a group, there are 5 of them. The other 3 are Khem, Thongthai, and Yai. Their bond started because of a case about a lieutenant who mysteriously suicide in their campsite.

Because of their natural bond and the way they trained together, the five of them are the ones who passed for the special unit of the police. Fast forward, they got in that special unit and they worked together on different cases.

After getting in, they decided to drink as a celebration. When Tharn got drunk, Phaya insisted of bringing him home. When they are outside, a car stopped in front of the building. A Doctor named "Chalothon" went out of the car and got Tharn. He introduced himself as a brother of Tharn.

The story revolved around the group working under the special unit of the police and the past of Tharn, Phaya, and Chalothon.

To those who did not watch yet the series, you might have a hard time depicting what is happening because of how many things are happening in one episode. To be honest, I felt like there are scenes that are not necessary, so should be excluded. But I will explain the things that you must be reminded of before watch. Also those who cannot understand what is happening while they are watching.

1. Remember that they are working under a special unit and they are police, so this series has different cases that the characters need to work on, so you will see different cases that happens in either each of the episodes or a case which covers a few episodes.
2. As I said, The Sign, will also cover the past story of Tharn, Phaya, and Chalothon. Spoilers alert, Chalothon is in love with Tharn, but Tharn and Phaya is in love with each other. Since Tharn and Phaya are in a different kind, there has been a war between their kinds. Chalothon as a selfish being tried to kill Phaya in the past, but Tharn used his body as a shield for Phaya, but Chalothon's attack got them both which lead to their death. At the present, Chalothon still made a way to become Tharn's trusted bestfriend. He still tried to kill Phaya in order for Pharn to become his lover.

Characters and Cast
The casts are all good looking and all have great bodies, so it is a blessing to the eyes whenever they are topless or have NC scenes. All the actors gave their best in their respective roles. I don't agree with those viewers who says that there are no chemistry between Tharn and Phaya, because there is, and I love their acting so much.

I just hate how oblivious Tharn's character is, especially on that scene wherein Phaya already warned him about Chalothon's true nature, yet he got angry instead. Second, whenever there were serious moments, but there are characters who will suddenly say a joke. It irked me so much. And lastly, how fast the couples ammend whenever they are arguing or having a fight with each other, like there is no build-up from the arguing moment to become lovers again.

Editing
Can we also talk about how bad the editing of the supernatural scenes were? It is so bad, which disappointed me because of how much those supernatural scenes could bring out the best of the series, considering that the charm of this story is their past lives wherein they are mythical creatures.

In totality, I will not consider it as best, but it is good. There are so many improvements on the editing part that must be made. The sequence of events are also good. The ending was horrendous! The sequence for the Episode 12 is like an after thought of the screenwriters. Thankfully, there is a special episode.

Such a Cute & Comfortable BL Series

I think that everyone knows Cherry Magic from Japan because of how popular it was. Recently, I knew about the Thailand adaptation and it was portrayed by the popular BL couple, Tay & New.

Since I already knew and watched the original series for a multiple times already, I know the things I need to expect and the standard that must be met. Watching this Thailand adaptation made me feel good. They met and exceeded the standard of Cherry Magic that I set. In the story, there were some alterations, and I felt like this adaptation is more light than the Japanese adaptation. Both Tay and New are great portrayers of the main characters. Frankly, there were moments wherein I felt like they became monotonous on their acting, but regardless, did a great job. Junior and Mark also did great as the second characters of this film. Their own story added an extra flavor to the whole series. Jang and Sing's story as a couple is also good and added an extra juice to the plot of this series.

In totality, the Thailand adaptation of Cherry Magic was satisfying. Yes, no one can beat the Japanese adaptation because the chemistry of the main characters there was extraordinary, but this adaptation served what they need to serve and did their best in their own accordance.

Japan Vlog with NC Scenes

Before watching this series, I first looked into the reviews, they are all saying the same thing "This series is like a vlog about Tokyo, Japan, but with NC Scenes", and I completely agree.

Kiseki Chapter 2 revolves around Beboy, a tourist in Japan, and his friend P, who has been living in Japan for a long time already. While touring, Beboy and P, met Pan and Plai, twins who are singers touring also in Japan. Since the twins mistook the booking date of their hotel and there are no hotels available, Beboy suggested for them to live in P's house for the days that they will stay in Japan. And the story revolves around these four.

Basically, this series is just all about 1 Thai person living and 3 Thai people touring in Japan.

But the true charm of this series is how fierce and hot the NC scenes are. If you like films who have these kinds of scenes, then this series is for you. They really gave their all in those scenes, which is why if you talk about Kiseki Chapter 2, the first thing that people will talk about is the NC scenes.

Acting wise, it is satisfactory. The characters have natural bond. The couples' chemistry is there.

In totality, Kiseki Chapter 2 is a series for those who want to watch 18+ BL Series. There is really not much to the plot, since it is pretty predictable. Recommendable, but I don't think that people will rewatch it.

A BL SERIES THAT'S BETTER TO BECOME A MOVIE

Because of You revolves around the three half-siblings: Juncheng Yuan (Oldest), Jundao Yuan (Second), and Junping Yuan (Youngest), who have to find their "lost" half-brother. Once they find that half-brother, their father will grant them any wishes, including the presidency of their company.

The story started with Juncheng Yuan, coming back to Taiwan from the South Korea. He was abducted by their uncle who wants the presidency of their company. Juncheng tried to escaped and while escaping he met Xun Lin, who helped him to escape. While escaping, Xun Lin's phone fell down, so he cannot answer the hospital's call. Sadly, during this, his mother dies, so he did not saw his mother for the last time.

Her mother (Cui Ying) obligated Xun Lin that when she die, he must call the number and person that is written on the paper. So, he called that number. When the person picked-up the call, it was the father of the Yuan brothers. They exchanged questions and the father found out that the one who called him is the son of Cui Ying, his past lover. He immediately called his three sons, informed them that he has another son out there, and they must find him immediately. The one who will find his other son will be granted any wish he wants.

The details of the "other" son was released. Since Juncheng already know that person, he is the first one to "abduct" Xun Lin. He took a sample of Xun Lin's DNA and tested it with their father. Turns out, he is not a son of Yuan, rather another man's son that Cui Ying has married. Their story continued with Juncheng wooing Xun Lin to become an adopted son of Yuan.

Now for the story of the two other couples:

Jundao Yuan is the second son.
- He doesn't really care about the guaranteed wish of his father so he did not search for the other son.
- He is living with Xiang Yang. Their story revolved around Jundao being jelous of Xiang's friend, since Xiang is always there in his friend's house. Later on, they will confront each other and confess their love.

Junping Yuan is the youngest son.
- He conspired with his bestfriend Yuerong to find the other son. Their story revolved around being school bestfriends to realizing that they are in love with each other. The main conflict in their story is Yuerong's sister wanting Junping to become his boyfriend. Yuerong did not agree, because he's in love with Junping.

This whole series can be compiled into one movie. I do not think that making it into a 10 episodes series is really necessary. Making it 10-15 minutes each episode makes it bad rather good, because the viewers can see how constraint each episode was. If they made it into a movie, they can explain and expound more what is happening in this series. Each characters will be given the limelight and explanation that they need. The viewers will appreciate more the movie.

The plot is usual, nothing unique, and rather unordinary. This kind of plot has been used and seen on many stories and novels out there. It is still interesting, I'd say. But there is nothing to be surprised in this series.

The acting was given a rating of 7/10, not because the acting was great, but rather the effort each actors gave to their character. The chemistry of each couples are satisfactory. There is really no spark between each couple. But who does not love men being sweet, caring, and kissing each other right?

In totality, the series was given a rating of 7/10, because it was good and can be watched by any types of viewers. In short, it is for experience to watch.

A must watch series

ITS NOT GOOD! I WILL TELL YOU THE TRUTH THAT IT IS NOT GOOD HAHAHAHAHA

The process of the plot? Chaotic.
The acting of the actors? Ok, except for Kamol, his acting is hideous.
The music? BAD!

The plot does not have a good structure. The storyline is not getting better. The characters are not redeeming themselves. You just had a one night stand, you forced him to live with you, and then he will fall in love with you? That is not possible, gosh! But I can accept it because not all series must be based on reality lmao

I do not know what the fck is happening! There are so many unnecessary scenes. The nc scenes are not that great, except for the thre*some in the shower. The actors delivered what they need to deliver.

In terms of acting, Kamol did very bad. His face is not moving, what the heck. He did not display that much of emotion and his lines are all monotone. The other actors are not the best but at least they did pretty good.

THE WHOLE SERIES IS LIKE A CIRCUS. Will I rewatch it again? Yes. Will I recommend it? Yes.

The Judge from Hell is a Masterpiece

To start this review, I am rating this Korean Drama, The Judge from Hell, a 10/10.

The plot was all about Kang Bitna, a judge. She was murdered in a public park. When her soul went to hell, she was wrongfully convicted by the judge of hell named Justitia. Since it was wrong, Bael, the director of hell, punished Justitia to be inside the body of Kang Bitna. She was tasked to kill 10 murderers within a year, if she did not fulfill this task, she will brutally die.

When she became Judge Bitna, she became carefree, not justifiable, and doesn't act like an honorable judge. Because of her task to kill murderers, she only use light sentences to them, for example is paying only a fine. Her sentences are only light since she kills them afterwards, torturing them through illusion before they were sent to hell.

In the first episode, Han Daon, a police officer was accused of physical maltreatment of a thief, but he argued that it was just a self defense. Judge Bitna sentenced him not guilty. With the continuous deaths of the murderers sentenced by Judge Bitna, Officer Daon and his team investigated thoroughly the truth behind their death. The story basically revolved with Officer Daon pursuing the truth between Judge Bitna's hidden agenda.

I gave the plot or story with a 10/10 because of how clear, concise, and well made it was. The viewers can easily apprehend what is going on in each episodes. There is also no dull moments, so each scenes are entertaining to watch and you will be easily hooked on what is happening on each episode. I love how you can see the effort of the staffs behind this series. Each episode was perfectly edited, no CGIs were cheaply done, it was edited beautifully. The set designs, especially to the supernatural settings, like the hell, was really done well also.

The other reviewers did not like the last 2 episodes. I kind of agree that the series can be finished with episode 12, but with the episode 13 and 14, they added more to the story. I feel like if it was finished with episode 12, it will be more confusing, because the viewers will feel that the story has more to offer. But with episode 13 and 14, the vision of what will happen next when Judge Bitna send Satan to hell was answered. Also, I love episode 14 especially, since the development between the 2 main characters was enlightened. That episode gave Bitna and Daon a chance for us to see what will happen to their story after all the obstacles they've been through.

Characters/Cast - 10/10
First of all, Park Shin Hye's acting really made me gasped. I know her already from her past films, but with this character, she amazed me so much more. With the way her character's emotions break, her fighting scenes, and her courtroom lines, she was really the perfect cast for this character. She served and slayed in giving us the best Kang Bitna or Justitia experience.

In terms of Kim Jaeyoung as Han Daon, to be honest, I did not like his character at first. I was like "Not all stories need to have love teams and this story is one of those", but later on I understood. Han Daon was the weakness of Justitia. Because of how powerful and strong minded she was, she needs a kryptonite to weaken her. Han Daon's character was really well portrayed with his kind of traumatic childhood experience, him pursuing Judge Bitna, and him as a police officer.

Valak, Gremory, Kim Jaehyun, Moon Dong Ju's characters was an experience. Kang Bitna's task will not be complete without the help of them. There are times that I got angry, most especially of Gremory, because of her poor decision making, but I still loved them all on the end of the series. Their respect to Judge Bitna, as her subordinates, made me respect their characters also.

Each and every side character was definitely needed because of how they added an extra flavor to Judge Bitna's character. Her co-demons, the angel, colleagues in the law firm, and neighbors, they all contributed well to the amazing plot this series has. Each part of Judge Bitna was highlighted because of them and their amazing roles for this series.

In totality, I love every inch of this series. I never felt bored on a single scene. Each episode made me interested on what comes and happens next. I love each and everyone of the characters. This was really perfectly and amazingly made. If a season 2 comes-up, that will be great, but if they decided to not come-up with another season, then it is okay. Everyone must watch this film, because The Judge from Hell is the true definition of a South Korean Thriller-Drama.

WATCH IT, DON'T BELIEVE THE COMMENTS

I binged watch this 12 episode series of My Stand-in today. Seriously speaking, why did I just watched it today? It's frustrating me so much, because of how good it is!

The plot revolves around Joe, a stuntman for a famous actor named Tong. In the set, Joe met Ming, brother in law of Tong who is secretly in love with him. Joe got interested on him and Ming found resemblance of Tong in Joe so he got attached to him. They got into a situationship. When Joe became promoted to a main lead of a movie with his friend Sol (Kpop Idol), Ming got jelous, and locked up Joe. Since Joe cannot attend the press conference of the movie, he was removed from it and got banned from any companies. In need of job, he got the job of being a stuntman in an infamous company who is famous for using cheap materials and not caring and compensating the talents who are undergoing accidents. During the shoot, he needs to do stunts while riding a motorcycle in a mountain. Since the harness is cheap, it broke easily, causing Joe to fall the mountain.

When he woke up, he is already in a body of another person, also named Joe. There he met again Ming and the other colleagues from his old body, which basically where the plot revolved around.

The plot is so good and unique! I love it so much because of the fact that it raises awareness towards the reality of behind the scenes of the films we are watching. Towards those extras and stuntmans who are doing most of the work instead of those actors and actresses who are getting the limelight.

This made me crazy, stressed, and obsessed just like Ming, lmao. If you don't like red flag main characters, then this is definitely not for you, because Ming's character is really hateful. There are so many things happening, most especially towards the ending. I'm like "Joe literally just went out of the hospital! Why are you kidnapping him again?"

This series made me anticipate each and every scenes of it. The way I cannot pursue myself to stop watching, that is why I literally binged watch it for a day.

The casts are all so good! The main characters delivered and served the best out of all casts, which made them deserving of being the main roles of this series. This series is just so good because of the chemistry of them both. The way they let out those emotions and script, it was truly satisfying. Addition to that, those NC scenes are to die for.

I'm so frustrated for watching it just now because I am literally satisfied on everything in this series. I love it so much and I would recommend this to other watchers. Hands down to everyone behind The Stand-in!

A 100 Years of Waiting

Century of Love is a very high rated and recommended BL series in different social media platforms. Some are claiming that it can be considered the best BL series of 2024. Yes, I also believe that this series is one of the best BL produced.

The Century of Love is a story between San and Wat. The story started with San being chased by some sort of guards or policemen. Thankfully, Ms. Wat is there to save him. The two develop some feelings for each other. Unfortunately, Ms. Wat is already in a fixed marriage with Trai. Ms. Wat doesn't love him. When the three of them meet each other, Trai is going to shoot San, but instead shot Ms. Wat.

San has a "master" and they're supporting some sort of deity in Thailand. Since San love Wat so much, he begged his master to help her. Sadly, her master said that he cannot help Wat since she is already dead. But there is another way. He got the five colored stone and break it into half. With this stone, they will meet again sometime. This also gave San a long life of another 100 years, because he need to meet again the reincarnation of Wat before the deadline of 100 years. If he did not find Wat's reincarnation by then, he will die tragically.

After 100 years, many generations already passed. There they located Wat's reincarnation. But when they met her, she is already a boy named Wee, who have a bad background. Unlike, Ms. Wat who is a girl and a noble. The story basically revolve with San and Wee's journey to being a lover, the Five Colored Stone, and San's last moments.

The plot and story was easy to understand. It was magically done. The way that this kind of story is unique to the taste of the viewers is really what makes it interesting. Each episode was really amazing and I can really keep-up on what is happening. My only problem is the way the CGIs are done, it was so bad. It felt like someone unprofessional did it.

The characters and casts are also amazing.

San - His boomer acting is really good. His character really portrays that he is already a hundred plus year old man. His action scenes were also chef's kiss, it was so satisfying to watch those scenes.

Wee - I somewhat disliked his character in the middle of the series. I understand that he needs to do that because of his grandmother, but I just cannot stand that decision of his. On the other hand, I love his acting whenever he is showing lovey-dovey emotions to San.

San and Wee's chemistry is a 10/10. You cannot really miss out on them whenever they're doing a film.

The other side characters are also really amazing addition to the series, both the actors and the characters they are portraying. Especially to Tao and Ju's character, they really added the extra flavors to the scenes they are there.

In totality, The Century of Love is really good and a must watch BL series. The only problem with is the CGI scenes, the rest, it was the best.

It is so crazy, that I had to finish it

I watched Sangmin Dinneaw because of how explicit and crazy the NC scenes are between the couples. I remembered watching it when it was airing for its 2nd episode. That episode trended so much because of a side couple having an NC scene while at work.

Sangmin Dinneaw revolves around the story of Sangmin & Dinneaw. Yes, the main characters' names are also the name of the title. This type of title naming is typical to the Boys Love industry, so there is nothing new to it.

Dinneaw and his family owns a sort of staycation in Thailand. When Sangmin was a kid, he used to stay there, because he was an exchange student from South Korea. Dinneaw's mother basically raised him for some time when he was a kid. When he went back to South Korea, he never contacted the family for 10 years, then suddenly he came back once again in Thailand, and stayed again with Dinneaw's family. Since both of them are young adults now, they felt some spark from each other. The story revolved around their feelings with each other, how they worked-it out, and Sangmin's reason on why never contacted Dinneaw's mom for those 10 years.

The plot is just the usual type of two people falling in love with each other. There is nothing new or special with it. In terms of the casts acting, they gave what they needed to give with the characters that they are portraying. To be honest, I felt a little stiff with the way some actors acted, especially Sangmin because his character's facial expression and the way he spills his line is monotonous. To be fair, I still enjoyed the series because of how cute Sangmin's character acted.

Unfortunately, the script and the plot itself is a mess. There are many scenes that is not necessary to be included. I felt like this series has the potential to become the best, but sadly I felt like it was all over the place and the viewers only started watching it because of the NC scenes shared and posted in different social media platforms. Actually, the NC scenes were also a hit or miss. There were NC scenes wherein it was beautifully done and the passion and tension transverse through the screen (Most especially Sangmin & Dinneaw's NC scenes). There were also NC scenes wherein I just find it funny, instead of feeling the hotness while watching it.

In short, the whole series is satisfactory. It will be based only on the viewer if they would like to continue watching it or not. Based on what I see in the social media platforms, many viewers are dropping this series, because they are feeling cringe while watching it, and I personally understand them. There are many moments wherein the story is just being funny, not making any sense, and I am just being dumbfounded. I personally cannot drop it so I finished it until the end.

In totality, I personally would not recommend it to other viewers. There are so many things that must be worked-on for it to be considered one of the best BL series produced and this was not it. I am still thankful on how it spiced up my Monday morning (The IQIYI uncut was being posted at 12:45 AM here in the Philippines) and I had fun watching and waiting for it every week.

An Easy Going, Cute, and Comfy Type of BL Series

Cherry Blossoms after Winter is such a fluffy, cute, and comfy BL Series to watch. The setting of the story is the usual high school type wherein the characters are in their teen age. However, the main characters already knew each other since they were kids since they are living in the same house.

The story revolves around Haebom & Taeseong. When they were kids, their mothers are super close. Unfortunately, Haebom's parents got in an accident, causing him to get adopted by Taeseong's family. At first, he did not want Haebom to live with them, since he likes him ever since. But this was misinterpreted by Haebom and he thought that Taeseong hates him, causing a misunderstanding between the two, and for them to become not close until they became classmates in high school.

When they became classmates, Taeseong witnessed Haebom being bullied. As someone who is pessimistic, Haebom never fought back. Thankfully, Taeseong finally knew about the bullying, and decided to stop it by defending Haebom. Ever since this happened, both of them became close, and rumors about them being a gay couple was spread by the bullies. Eventually, the rumors died down and the bullies stopped.

In the day of Taeseong's birthday, Haebom asked him on what gift he wanted. At first, he said that the gift he wants is "You", but later on changed into drinking together. That night, Haebom got so drunk to the point that he cried because he missed his parents. Taeseong, can't control himself, kissed Haebom. When they woke up, Haebom can't remember a thing from that night, causing Taeseong to get angry. After this scene, Taeseong's feelings cannot be stopped anymore and he confessed to Haebom.

In short, the story is all about two male leads, wherein one has feelings on the other, but cannot confess to him.

The story is just light and easy to understand. The good thing is that the viewers can follow on what is happening on the series, because of how well written the whole series is. I feel like the technicalities of the series also helped, in a way that since the series is so light, the scenes also are, in terms of the color grading of each scene. The songs used was also correlated with the scenes because they are so fit together, I'm talking about the melody since I cannot understand the Korean language that was being sung in the songs.

In terms of the actors acting, I love them both so much. The most important part of their acting is how they made the viewers comfortable through their acting. They also let out the emotions that was needed to be portrayed in each scenes. Can we talk about how pretty Haebeom cries? He is just so good at it that I feel sad for his character. Their chemistry was also on point. They are just so cute together that it makes me smile throughout the whole series.

I just felt somewhat questionable to the story. Since they were living in the same house since they were kids, is it really possible that the two of you will not be close and friends with each other? I mean, they are literally just three persons in that house, yet they managed to avoid and not talk to each other. Anyways, this is fiction, so nevermind.

In totality, Cherry Blossoms after Winter is a really good South Korean BL series that everyone needs to watch if they need a series wherein they only want to smile all throughout the series.

What's More Powerful, Belief or Love?

The story's main topic is Euthanasia. Based on Cornell Law School, Euthanasia, sometimes called mercy killing, is the ending of a person’s life who is terminally ill and suffering in pain. So, if you do not want this kind of topic in the film that you're watching or you're not open to this kind of topic, you may kindly leave this series alone.

The story started with Wasan, as he came back home to see his terminally ill mother. On the way home, he got into a minor accident so he needs to go to the hospital. Unfortunately, his mother died even before he got home. Their family and neighbors got curious of the mother's sudden death because the doctor of this small town and the doctor assigned to the mother, named Kan, said that she will live up to 3-4 months more. Wasan's mother sparked his curiosity to investigate the rising cases of the death of the terminally ill patients in that town.

The story revolved around finding-out who is the killer. Throughout the story, you will know and see who is really the killer. As someone who also kind of believes in the positive side of Euthanasia, I strongly supported Dr. Kan, since he is only doing the favor of his patients. Imagine also what he is going through whenever those patients are asking him to be killed through the injection of potassium chloride.

What made me gasped was the involvement of the director and pharmacist of the hospital and their relationship to each other. As we walk through the story, we saw that the director and the pharmacist has a relationship and loves each other. It is just so sad that since the pharmacist fantasizes Dr. Kan's doings and the belief of Euthanasia, he killed his lover (director). Yes, the testimony he said to the polices in the first part is not true and it will later be revealed that he is continuing injecting potassium chloride to the patients. But he was doing it wrong, so Dr. Kan said that it was not euthanasia.

Another intriguing moment was the involvement of the forensic analyst something, named Rin. She really made me mad. I know that she is only doing her job as a doctor, but since I'm team Dr. Kan, I really got mad at her. But later on the last part of the series, her background and relation to Dr. Kan's professor really made me sad.

When it comes to Captain Wasan and Dr. Kan's chemistry and storyline together was really great. Their chemistry is really on point. Their acting are really amazing. The way they portrayed their emotions, especially them crying made me so emotional. I just do not like how Dr. Kan can easily break his anger after arguing with Captain Wasan. I know that this is partly fiction, but in real life, when a person is interrogating and saying that they do not trust you, your initial reaction was to feel hurt. I also know and understand that Dr. Kan was in the wrong side, but please give me an aspect wherein he will ignore Captain Wasan for moments.

Let me also talk about the nurse that is always with Dr. Kan, she was really amazing and a great addition to the plot of the series. Without her, the story will not be complete, I believe.

In totality, everything is perfect. I love this series so much. While watching, I realized how good it was that is why everybody recommends and talks about it. I believe that there is no need for a part 2, but a special episode might be better. Watch it now! It is really good.

3 EPISODES ARE NOT ENOUGH!

BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen only have 3 episodes and it is really not enough!

The story is all about Akafuji Yuichiro and Aoyanagi Hajime. Akafuji is a popular actor, while Aoyanagi was a child actor, been inactive, and came back on being an actor. Aoyanagi thought that Akafuji hates him, since he is so popular yet he needs to act with an unpopular actor like Aoyanagi. But the truth is that Akafuji cannot handle being with Aoyanagi for long, since he is a die hard stan of Aoyanagi. He cannot stand looking him in the eyes and being with him closely, since he is always becoming nervous.

The plot was so good and clear. The viewers can easily see the story of this series. I love how the mood of the BL series is different when they are showing the BL Drama that is being shot and the scene that is happening behind those shots. Since it only have 3 episodes, I felt like the series was compacted. The amount of scenes wherein they can expand more and the aspects that can be lengthened more was unfortunately not enlightened. Most importantly the part wherein they confessed their feelings to each other. What happened after that? I feel like there are many more in the story.

The acting and the casts themselves are so good. Each actor did their best and gave the best result in each of their characters. The main characters, Akafuki and Aoyanagi's acting are really spectacular, and their scenes together, the chemistry is really great. Also, the other side characters, most importantly the 2 managers. I want to highlight how good their bed scene is together even if we only saw a very short duration of it.

In totality, BL Drama no Shuen ni Narimashita: Crank Up Hen, is really a great BL Series. I just wish that there would be more. Thankfully, there will be a season 2 (The reason also why I watched this series). A must watch series, so if you did not watch it yet, then you must watch it now already!

A Must Watch Great BL Series

I knew about Laws of Attraction because I watched Jam and Film's previous BL Series, To Sir with Love. Having that standard from their past series, I kind of expected a lot from this series.

Charn is a lawyer who is selfish and doesn't care about other people's feelings. As long as he will win his client's case, he will do everything. One night, after winning a murder case, he was stopped by the victim's brother. He is blaming Charn saying that because of him, the culprit was not punished. He is so angry that he will stab Charn. Thankfully, he was saved by Tin. Charn wants to treat him to a meal, but Tin got a call and it was an emergency.

One day, when Tin and his niece, Tonkhao, went home from the karate lesson, Tonkhao did the house chores listed by her grandmother. Since Tin is tired, he fell asleep. Tin went to the market by herself to buy something. When she's going home, she was suddenly hit by a rushing car. The car was owned by Senator Thattep' son, Thaenthai.

Tin blamed himself of Tonkhao's death, saying that he fell asleep that is why Tonkhao went to the market. With the family grieving, Tin went to see Senator Thattep saying that the suspect must be criminalized. Tin went to different places wearing a signage as a protest about his niece's death.

The next day, Charn showed-up in the house of Tin. Tin thought that Charn will help their family to win the hit and run case, but the truth is that Charn is the lawyer of Thaenthai. He brough-out a 10,000,000 baht check in return of Tin's silence. He got angry and torn the check saying that no amount of money will stop them from bringing justice for his niece. Charn did all the way to make Tin silenced, such as posting his bank account online to gather donation for his niece and then spreading news that Tin is using that money for his bad habits.

Fast forward, Charn and Senator Thattep had a closed meeting. Charn said that he needs to have a meeting with the suspect, Thaenthai. Senator Thattep disagreed, not wanting for them to meet. When Charn went outside the house, he met Thaenthai. He provoked Thaenthai by provoking him. The next day, Charn was cut-off from being their lawyer. Since he was furious, he decided to instead help Tin and his family in bringing-out the truth from Tonkhao's death. The story revolved around finding-out what really happened that day and punishing the suspect, Thaenthai.

Plot (10/10) - The plot was great. Another not so unique, yet different genre of a Boys Love series. You can see how each episodes jump from each other. You can see clearly the improvement of each scenes and how it affects the improvements of each characters. The plot was clear in a way that you can see where the story is heading. But the plot twist is kind of expected, yet still made me awe.

Acting & Casts (10/10) - As I always say in my reviews, the charm of a story is the way the actors portray their character, and as expected from Film, Jam, and the other casts, they did great.

Film (Charn) - He is always making me jaw drop with how he portrayed his emotions of feeling like having two different personalities. The way he mysteriously yet clearly showed us how Charn acts as a person and lawyer. He is really great!

Jam (Tin) - His crying scenes are amazing! He is so natural whenever he cries, so a big applause for that!

Film and Jam - Their chemistry is really great in this series. Compared to their previous BL Series, To Sir With Love, Law of Attraction really brought-out the best of the both of them. Their kissing scenes are really a candy in the eyes. Their acting is really great whenever there are scenes together.

Thaenthai & Thee - Their story made me feel sad. At first, I was always saying that Thaenthai deserves all the things that are happening to him, like the abuse of his father. But when I knew that he is not the main culprit in the end, it is just that it was his car, I felt sad for him. All he wants is the love from his father. Thankfully, they got their happy ending in the end.

I also want to highlight the support system of Charn and Tin: Grandmother, the bar owner, and the bar singer. They are such a good support system because of how they lift-up the main characters from the beginning till the end.

In totality, Laws of Attraction is a really great, recommendable, and a must watch BL series, because it will not disappoint the viewers.

A Jaw Dropping, Well Done, but not so BL Series

Before watching To Sir, With Love, I read that it is a soap opera in Thailand. As someone who doesn't know what that is, I researched, and found-out that "A soap opera is a long-running radio or television drama that features a continuing story, often with a sentimental or melodramatic tone." I thought that with it having 17 episodes, it will become draggy, but thankfully it is not.

To Sir, With Love is a story about Tian and his family. His father, Song, is the head of the Five Dragon Guild, composed of powerful families. The story started with the meeting of the Five Dragon Guild, discussing about a new business. They all thought that Zhang must have that business, but they were interrupted by another member named Ma, saying that he must be the one who must have that business.

The meeting started and Song announced that Zhang will have that business. Ma, disagreed and challenged the decision. He announced to the meeting that Zhang must not have the business. His men dragged Zhang's lover to the meeting. Since Zhang is worried, he rushed to his lover. Ma announced the reason that Zhang must not have the business is because he is a homosexual. Song finding this out and being afraid of the Five Dragon Guild's reputation and integrity being tainted revoked his decision and pass the business to Ma. Zhang felt betrayed and got angry. He threatened Song that he'll withdraw his family's name from the guild. Song being blinded by the pressure agreed to Zhang's decision.

The day after, Zhang went to Song Family's house. When the both of them talked, Zhang threw a coin given by Song when they first met. He also talked about having each other's back in the past, but now, Song did not even backed him up. And then, Zhang pulled-out a knife. The family thought that he will kill Song, but instead killed himself. Song rushed to Zhang, held him in his arms. Zhang said his final words "I hope that you will feel the same feeling that I am feeling right now."

Going back on the brothers, Tian and Yang witnessed all of these traumas and scenes. When Song's family felt stressed after Zhang's suicide, they decided to watch a theater play of some sort. Tian was fascinated of what he saw, so when they went home, he dressed up as a girl using garments to make a dress. While doing this, Yang entered the room and saw Tian playing with the dress. He is happy for his brother during the scene.

When Tian's mother, Li, and her apprentice, Jia, saw Tian playing as a girl. Since being the guild's head is based on a person's masculinity and the homophobia of the people that time, Li got angry at Tian, and warned and punished him for acting like that. Also, saying that he must never do it again since he is the rightful heir to the position of his father, since he is the first son, and the legitimate son from the wife of Song.

The story revolved around this secret homosexuality of Tian, Li's ways of hiding Tian's secret, Yang's mother (Chan) trying to find out about that secret in order for her son to become the next head of the guild, and the brotherly love of the two half brothers.

After 20 years, Tian's secret is still hidden as a secret, his mother is still doing everything for that secret to be kept hidden, Yang's mother still trying to find a way for her son to become the next head of the guild in a way that she is still trying to find that secret, and Yang as a supporting brother to Tian, not wanting his older brother's position.

The story's narration is super long. Many things happened. Yes, 17 episodes is pretty long, considering also the 1 hour duration of each episode, but everything is worth it. Just be patient because each episode is worth it.

Boys Love Genre - I personally do not recognize this as a Boys Love genre just because of the main character being homosexual and loving another man. Yes, I watched it because it was tagged as a Boys Love, but I kept on watching it because of how good the story is, rather than watching the male couple.

CHARACTERS:
- Both the mothers are the drama of this series. They are the reason why this story has become interesting. Without their influence, the story's problem will not become as big as it has become. Also, in the last episodes, when they worked with each other. A big wow was presented on my face. Imagine if they worked with each other since the beginning of the story, they can conquer the whole world.

- Tian and Yang's plot are the second charm of this story, because when you talked about half brothers, the usual plot of those stories are their rivalry. Instead, they brotherhood is very good, and they supported each other's back until the end. Thankfully, Yang's character is very well understanding, because in reality, if your brother is getting all the attention, you might also feel angry to him.

- Tian's mother apprentice is really a good added flavor to the series. With the way she supported Li throughout the story, adding more plot to their story. Jia really deserved to be recognized in this series.

- Tian and his lover, Jiu. I like their chemistry, but that's all. I liked the story because of the plot, not because of the boys love genre of it. They both gave their best and well done to their story.

In totality, many people might disagree but I will not say that this is the best Boys Love story. The story was everything, but the duration of the BL plots were not given much spotlight. Still, it was really good and a recommendable series to other viewers.
