We are midway through January, there are fewer new updates but the momentum isn’t dropping. The GL industry is slowly turning on the top gear, trying to be on par with their BL counterpart. No matter the territorial differences, the BL/GL industry is on a flare, and we are enjoying the outcome!

We are about to roundup our awards criterion for the year 2024 and the last segment will definitely leave you shocked or surprised; depending on which actors you were rooting for.

“Fake Buddies” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)
Refreshingly cute and fluffy. Words I never thought I would use in a written review of a BL/GL, yet here they are. Additionally, everything is fake- the whole set up, fake. And that is what made it so enjoyable. It is a story of two close male friends and two close female friends who by happenstance were forced to confront a whole new reality for themselves as ‘couples’.
“Impression of Youth” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Two couples. Two opportunities to fall in love amidst the need to find oneself and the passions that motivate one to move forward.

“Our Golden Times” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)
Honestly, I was not expecting this short web series to be so effective and poignant. But it truly is! And I was surprised by its effectiveness. Where it fell flat was its lack of fully committing itself to the romance.

RISER MUSIC Introduces PROJECT JASP.ER!
As 2024 winds down, RISER MUSIC, a record label under GMMTV, is setting the stage for an electrifying start to 2025 with the debut of their newest boy group: PROJECT JASP.ER. This dynamic foursome—Joong Archen, Aou Thanaboon, Santa Pongsapak, and Pond Naravit have already captured our hearts in some of the the most popular series in BL history (“Fish Upon the Sky” staring Pond, “Vice Versa” featuring Aou, and “Hidden Agenda” starring Joong are three of my favorite comfit shows while Santa is featured in “Between Us” – a midquel to “Until We Meet Again”) and now their set to set those hearts on fire with their music.
“Love Sick” Series Review (Ep.1 to 15)
I hate to be so brutally honest, but this is one of the worst BLs of 2024. Literally, everything about this series, except perhaps the acting, was uninspiring. Although the young performers did a ‘yeoman’s job’ in trying to keep this shipwreck afloat, they alone could not salvage this complete mess from sinking. Honestly, to say otherwise, is living in a fantasy-land and not dealing with any sense of reality. It is a tepid story with a fragmented screenplay, ineptly directed, disjointedly executed, and undoubtedly should never have been (re)made. The only plus about this series literally is that they had the appropriate aged actors and actresses for the roles. They were young, attractive, innocent in real life, and tried their best to make sense of a story that was essentially senseless. Full disclosure, I did not watch the first ‘Love Sick’, so this was all ‘new’ to me. Thus, I cannot compare it to the original. Besides, this is a stand-alone production and ought to be judged on its own merits or faults.
