Korean BLs are slowly evolving when it comes to their storytelling style and vibrant casting. The recent releases like Our Dating Sim and Unintentional Love Story are abundant proof of the same.

“Be Mine SuperStar” Director David Bigander: The Man Chasing Behind Perfection
The current trend in the Thai BL industry is adapting popular novels. Avid fans are so focused on reimagining their favorite textbook characters that a lot is lost in transition.

The Swedish-Thai auteur has a multifaceted personality; as a screenwriter and director, he has worked on several ambitious projects like Bite Me, My Sassy Girl & Rose In Da House.

“The Love Ring” Movie Review
This soft, well-meaning and very short BL drama is obviously a labor of love coming from Myanmar. And it should be applauded for its courage, message, and commitment to equality and gay rights. No less important is its passion towards seeing love as all-encompassing. But be forewarned. This is not a series for all. If you want the fancy, drawn-out, splashy, big production, then move on. Because this is not it. The production is simple and basic; the acting, though a bit inconsistent. But I believe it is an early and very beautiful attempt to introduce BL into a culture not known for its openness to such a concept.
