“Fight for Love” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)
This is yet again another winning BL from Vietnam. It is so definitive in its outcome and perhaps you can see it ending in the same way I did. Satisfying. The whole story unfolds right before you in a magnificent panoramic sweep. Funny. Sad. Poignant. Ordinary. But always entertaining. Always. And so relatable. Almost everything in this story, one can relate to or perhaps have even experienced in some form or another. They can take the ordinariness of living and make it seem extraordinary. Making the issues we face on a daily basis and seeing the traumas we have experienced come to life helps us get the picture of how that impacted our own persona. Perhaps we may not seem important, but our issues certainly are, and we get to see that through them. They visualize our experiences to make them real, impactful, and powerful. At the very least truncate the sum total to see how it does affect us. That has always been the beauty of Vietname BLs. It makes the ordinary seem prominent. And they validate our feelings, failings, and foibles along the way. In a sense, we find we are pretty much the same as everyone else.
“Perfect 10 Liners” Series Review (Ep.1 to 24)
Let’s be honest—Perfect 10 Liners isn’t reinventing the wheel. At its core, it’s another university-set BL with pretty faces, peer mentoring hijinks, and the usual GMMTV formula. But here’s the thing: Perfect 10 Liners makes up for its predictable structure with something far more valuable—charisma. Thanks to a talented ensemble cast, this 24-episode ride manages to be entertaining, even when the story itself feels stretched thin.

“Petrichor” Series Review (Ep.5 to 10)
With a killer on the loose, buried secrets coming to light, and determined women breaking barriers in male-dominated fields, “Petrichor” delivers an intriguing and suspenseful experience.
“Something is Not Right” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Adapted from the webtoon Who Can Define Popularity? by Tak Bon, the Korean BL Something is Not Right stars Choi Min Ho as Do Ba U, Jung Je Hyeon as Ji Hun, and Ji Min Seo as Jung Ha Min and kicks off with a slow-burn setup built on unspoken feelings, crossed wires, and a temporary fake dating arrangement that’s only going to make things messier.
