BL Week in Review

This week, there was a drastic reduction in the number of series that aired. Four series ended last week, but one more started and three others will start next week. I finally feel like there is some breathing room, especially on Fridays. So, I took some time to truly enjoy sharing thoughts and ideas on social media.

Also, I had an idea. I think it would be fun to go live for this column and chat with all of you in real time about the series that aired during the week, so I’m going to give it a shot.

Join me as I go live on “The BL Xpress YouTube Channel” on Tuesday, March 25 4:30 PM PST Let’s fill the Tuesday void and have a fun chat!

“Best Friend” Series Review (Ep.1 to 4)

This is a stunning and beautiful short BL that while soft in its approach speaks volumes in the message. Paing Kha (Khay Han) has lived with his best friend Tun Ko (Shin Ye Htut) for many years. To say they are close would be an understatement. There is a fervid attachment between them that goes deeper than friendship but is not quite sensual. Much like a hand to a glove. They seem on the surface to be connected to the same tree of life.

In a world where AI is seamlessly integrating into daily life, Eternal Butler presents a familiar yet heartwarming take on the concept of artificial intelligence and human connection.

Summary: I am Kenlong, a woman born with beauty, wealth, and a big brain. Everything about me has to be perfect, especially my someone special. Nothing ever shook me, until I met my childhood friend, an innocent childish girl like Oengoei who gave me lice when we were young. Why do I surrender to a girl like that? It could be those sweet eyes that distracted me. I was upset that I felt sensitive toward my close friend, and she is a girl!
