THE BEST BL SERIES RELEASED IN 2025

I didn't expect this series to be so good.
Everything from the story and productions to the music and casting was literally perfect.

It's also crazy that this was KengNamping's and TleFirstone's first series together. They all did a REALLY good job in acting and setting the mood for each character.

This series has many good qualities. It's interesting with a good and solid plot. The soundtrack sets the mood perfectly.
It has many good and interesting characters with solid backstories.
It's just really easy and interesting to watch.

I would totally rewatch this.

Secrets, Secrets, Secrets, Masterfully unearthed layer by layer

What a masterpiece! It will have you sitting at the edge of your seat with every reveal until the very end! Like an onion, the dark truth about what happened in the 1990s has layers upon layers, and just when you think you are getting to the core, there are several more layers hidden underneath.

The actors did a phenomenal job, especially the two main leads. I started this show for Ma Si Chun, who delivered yet another outstanding performance here. Every beat, every emotion, is always perfectly captured in her expressions, she fully embodies every character she plays, and Wu FeiFei is no exception. And Zhang Ruo Yun was excellent here as well. in the first few episodes, I did not understand why his character was so recklessly obsessed with uncovering the truth behind his birth mother, but by the end he delivered a performance that pieced together Gao Feng's character very nicely.

If you really like to be surprised and constantly caught off guard by how creative a screenwriter can get with their plot twists and big reveals, then this is the drama for you. Not a single character has the full picture (even the mastermind behind it all), and each episode you are encounter a new revelation alongside them.

Cute i guess?

I started watching this series, because i knew AouBoom was in it. I also really like JoongDunk!

I can see why people really like this series, but it just wasn't my cup of tea.
The story wasn't too interesting to me and the whole series felt a bit slow.

JoongDunk and AouBoom were really cute though and I enjoyed watching them in this series.
But the truth is, that if this series had some actors that I didn't know, I would have never watched it.

The soundtrack was cute and I listen to it sometimes in the bus honestly. Nothing too special.

I would still say that you should give this series a try!

Such a good series!

I started watching the series while it was airing at EP8.

I didn't expect much, but it turned out to be a really good series. The story might be a little confusing on Jinn's and Jerome's part, but I really liked Farm and Van. Everyone's story was a bit confusing/frustrating, but that makes the series interesting and watch wortht. Everything makes sense at the end!

SeaKeen and SurfJava did really well in this series. Their characters were really likeable and interesting. The acting was actually pretty good.
Of course JJ did a very good job being the comedic relief character as aways.

This was a cute and heartfelt series with drama and actions. I for sure teared up a few times while watching lol.

I'm definitely rewatching this soon!

THANK YOU GMMTV FOR GIVING US THIS SERIES

Light and sweet

The storyline is good with many added funny elements however I felt so bad for Gok Doo for not being the main male lead. What I loved the most is that they really emphasised the strength of the female lead and the consequences and funny incidents it leads to. The female actor is great and super cute. Her acting is perfect for the role. The cuteness of her lines or movements don't come across as over the top but natural. Her strength also is projected and directed well to be believable.

This drama is a mixture of romance, thriller and suspense. I did find the episodes start to drag with the workplace scenes. The concept and story is great I think if they removed the extra scenes and held onto the kidnapping thread that would of been better. It seemed they tried to add quite a bit in. It was balanced, though this balance also takes away the attention and focus of the drama. Hence the main storyline started to feel fizzled out and delayed. That's the only downside.

Loved the female character and the funniest ending.

Enjoyed it!

I enjoyed this drama, the only thing i didn't like is the over acting to make it comedy.
The story was good.

I love Keen and Sea, they have such great dynamics and chemistry. And it isn't the most romantic chemistry and the kisses are not great, but i just saw they are only 20 years old, so i understand. And to be honest, in the real world not every couple had extreme romantic or sexual energy. Lots of couples have just more of a best friends chemistry. So i am not mad at it, i just like this pairing a lot.

Surf and Java had good chemistry, also not the greatest, but they too are still young. You can see Surf is a bit older, his acting is more mature and his chemistry an kisses are better.

Visuals were great and the music is good.

A great revenge

Definitely worth watching! I don't usually watch trailers instead go off reviews or YouTube shorts. Initially, you think it's the female lead getting back with her husband but that's not the case. It's even better! The story is different to the usual as she seeks revenge not only on her husband but those close around her. The ending was perfect!

Beautiful chemistry between the both leads you can sense it from the start even with little interaction in the first episode - you know that male character is meant to be in the story somewhere.

Really easy to watch and has a good pace to easily binge-watch. I loved it.

A unique "Yankii" romance concept that shows promise, despite a repetitive format.

I picked up Badly In Love looking for something casual to pass the time, and it turned out to be a decent watch. The premise is fascinating: 10 episodes featuring men and women who are former "Yankii" (delinquents) with troubled pasts, all gathered to find genuine love. The cast is the highlight; their growth and emotions felt authentic and real. However, the execution left a bit to be desired. The entire show is set in a school, and the "dates" became quite repetitive very quickly. Unlike other dating shows where couples travel or experience new things together to bond, being stuck in the school setting limited their ability to deepen their connections. It’s a great concept that needs better organization, but for a first season, it remains an entertaining, light binge.

Sun Qian Xun break her goofy persona and elevates to the serious role

The plot and scenes are quite fresh. The interactions between the leads are very sweet, with plenty of romance. The emotional descriptions are delicate and have a progressive process. ML is gentle and steady. Although he has some unwanted romantic advances, he has a strong sense of boundaries.

This is typical of Sun Qian Xun's dramas, she's unlikely to suffer any losses. The villains don't do anything outrageous either. MLs mother is also one of the highlights of the drama, arguably the most adorable parent in the series. The costumes and props are great, though the filter is a bit blurry. Both leads are handsome and beautiful. ML's acting needs some improvement, but the FLs recent roles have been a real breakthrough; she's no longer playing the same old silly characters, and her acting has improved.

Recommended to see more serious romance for Sun Qian Xun without her comedic antics.

Emotional Rollercoaster

Pungcopper presents such good chemistry that would fit so well in thriller/horror genre. During the show, they have made me go on a full on rollercoaster - i fear being a fan of them isnt for the weak. We will see how the next episode pans out, im just hoping that pung doesnt see a teddy bear in the episode😭😭

I do have to mention that the new challenge they implemented where a experienced "bro" gives advice was really interesting to watch, giving deeper insights on what they want their future to look like and their goals.

Also, its hilarious seeing how downbad north and ryujin are💀💀

Was it the director's fault or the actors

This show was okay. The main problem is the lack of chemistry between the leads. Honestly, if you are going to star in a BL and there are intimate scenes, the kisses really need to look real. If this show was made 10 years ago or longer then chemistry might have been acceptable, but with so many LGBTQ shows and movies out there where actors/actresses are not inhibited by kissing/intimate scenes and they understand their assignments when hired for the job, these lead actors in this show are sorely lacking in understanding their roles of being in love and it shows when it comes to their chemistry. I would rather there were no intimate/kiss scenes than the ones we got, cause it was super uncomfortable and a cringe to watch how uncomfortable they were with each other. Lips barely touching or clenched tight is a total turn off. GMMTV is like the Hallmark movie channel, where everything and everyone is sanitized to the point of being sexless with just a few exceptions. If you are going to have couples like this in series, then the story itself needs to be exceptional and I am sorry to say this story lost steam half way through and never recovered.

On love that is strong and perseveres through the dark

Before I say anything about the storyline, i must applaud the actors. It takes exceptional skill to carry a show like this and this relies not only on the main actors but also on the side characters. It is a responsibility shared by the creators who push actors pass their threshold. Every person be it the "Three D's", the malicious Kae, the rich boyfriend, the lecherous warden and his righteous son–all held their own onscreen. Mable and Pangjie as the titular sapphics of "Clairebell", were just perfectly cast—Pangjie perfectly portrayed Bell, with her soft but steely strength. And Mable, darling, so very unhinged I loved her as Claire. Of my favourite scenes is Davika, who is not only one of the creators but also plays as the teacher's sister, going through the phone. The play of emotions on her face from the painful joy, to the first jolt of revelation, then shocked curiosity proceeding to understanding, anger and indignation—superb.

Moving to the basic premise of the show, it follows Bell in prison after a wrongful conviction of possessing drugs. Prison is a whole new world in which she finds protection, and eventually, solace in another prisoner Claire. Imprisoned for murder, she widely goes by "Rabid dog", and she does justice to that name. Very like our canine protectors, she's fiercely protective but melts in the arms of Bell. The progression of their romance is a gift to watch–from slow trust to absolute surrender.

Beware that this show is by no means a light-hearted one, there's on-screen violence and blood with incorporation of topics like medical negligence, violent conflict, unchecked corruption and denial of basic rights to inmates–but a cleaner more palatable version of it. 95% of the show is set in a prison, where even the roses do not bloom, and this is possibly why the inmates from tightly knit groups. Love blooms in the darkest of times, and this is the central theme of the show–the love of a sister, a mother for a child, love that is fierce and strong and love that delivers justice, even at the cost of our own self. And in the darkest of times, the show is testimony to how a little bit of kindness can go a long way. There are no redemption arcs here, but it is humane in it's portrayal of such frayed individuals.

The production values are unlike any in a thai show, let alone lgbt shows. Easily matches that of Korean and western thrillers. It's much more important to produce short, well-made series than a 16 episode show. There's also a great score which carries us through the highs and lows. A 10/10, and may this herald even more sapphic shows in thriller setups 🥂!

Applause for bringing decent Sci-Fi story even there is more romance focused.

It was rare to see sci-fi story, with decent werewolf theme but it's essentially a sweet romance drama with a domineering CEO and a pregnant child, disguised as a sci-fi story. The ML is the head of a werewolf clan (a domineering CEO), and the FL is a human chef.
ML's werewolf look is both handsome and cute, and the child actors' performances are quite good, especially their crying scenes. The chemistry between Zhao Guanyu and Lin Zirong are quite fine to watch.

The whole drama was quite lighthearted, and the romance was very sweet. It would have been even better if the misunderstanding hadn't been cleared up at the beginning and the male lead had admitted to falling in love with her.

Recommended to watch.
