I can’t believe I now have my first live video under my belt. I had so much fun that I’ve decided to continue. I already have the outline for Tuesday’s show. I’m hoping to see everyone there.
BL Week in Review Live
Thoughts –
1) Thank you to the seven of you who made my first Live a joyful experience.
2) I rewatched some of it, and there are things I will do differently next time.
3) Catch this week’s Live today, or tomorrow, depending on where you are in the world. When is the next show?

Where: BL Xpress YouTube channel
What will we be discussing? Mainly, we’ll be talking about Ossan’s Love Thailand, which ended last week.
Sunday, March 23
Last Meal Universe Episode 4 (Thai BL on OneD)
Thoughts –
1) So far, the primary love story is between Shun and the food on Earth. To destroy, or not to destroy. That is the question. 🤣🤣
2) Does being sick really make Shun electric? ⚡️ 🤣
3) It’s 🤣 that everyone thinks Shun is crazy.
Perfect 10 Liners Episode 22 (Thai BL on YouTube)
Thoughts –
1) Faifa’s mom has a selfish personality.
2) FaifaWine Boyfriend era begins! I’m glad that they represented their feelings with touch. It was more impactful that way. 🏳️🌈🥰
3) It was cool that their whole adopted school family could witness their moment.

Ossan’s Love Thailand Episode 12 (Thai BL on YouTube)
FINALE
Final Thoughts –
1) This is my favorite version of Ossan’s Love that I’ve seen.
2) The acting is outstanding! 🔥🔥🔥
3) It gave all the classic office romcom vibes while also showcasing a uniquely Thai POV.
4) Grab a glass of wine and a fine steak, and consume the BL like it was the love of your life.
Episode 12 Thoughts –
1) The proposal scene was so cute. The song is an earworm.
2) This version did a great job of highlighting the title. In the end, it was about Kongdech’s ability to love everyone that brought Heng and Mo together.
3) It’s over. 😭

🚨📢 Currently airing Vietnam BL on YouTube (This has been airing for three months, but I didn’t know it existed.)
Current episodes: 19
Title: Dao Nho Nuoi Meo (Stand By Me)
Premise: Childhood friends to enemies to lovers
Thoughts –
1) I decided to binge this series over my spring break, which happened this last week. It has the sweet, classic BL vibe going for it.
2) I like the chemistry between the main leads, and my favorite character is the grandmother.
3) This is a cute coming-of-age BL. It’s worth checking out.

My Golden Blood Episode 3 (Thai BL on iQIYI and Gagaoolala)
Thoughts –
1) I keep trying to imagine what it would be like if my senses had been cut off for 100 years and suddenly reappeared. Every smell and taste would be overwhelming.
2) Tong’s scent must be incredible. 🚨🔥🤣
3) The sticky note scene was so funny. I love how Mark drew eyes on the note after he found it in the middle of the night. What do you know? A vampire has a sense of humor.
Lost in the Woods Ep 2 (Thai BL on Gagaoolala)
Thoughts –
1) Fifa’s belief that delivering food was an easy job got him in serious trouble. I’m glad he learned the lesson, but at what expense?
2) I can’t believe all of the people who were supposed to watch over him just left him to fend for himself.
3) The scenery continues to be magnificent.
4) I’m amazed that Ton is 26. He’s playing young really well.
Thursday, March 27
Series I’m not watching:
Checkered Shirt (FINALE) – This series is ready to binge on YouTube
Top Form Episode 3 (Thai BL on Tencent aka WeTV)
Thoughts –
1) I’m not sure why the director is giving Akin less time. He’s still the superior actor.
2) Akin, I love chocolate, too. 😋
3) The fans were so real in their reaction to Jin dropping the bottle and Akin grabbing it out of mid-air.
Friday, March 28
On Friday, a major earthquake hit Myanmar and Thailand. Six countries were adversely impacted by this natural disaster. My heart goes out to all those affected by it. I also didn’t post any reactions on social media, but not to fear, I did watch all the episodes and am posting my reactions here.
NOTE: Due to the Earthquakes, GMMTV chose not to air Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist. A new episode will post on Friday, April 4.
Exclusive Love Episode 8 (Taiwanese BL on Viki, Gagaoolala, and IQIYI)
Thoughts –
1) This show is still infuriatingly slow.
2) Du Zhi is such a tortured soul. You can tell that he doesn’t think he deserves love, nor does he think he has time for it in his life. But, I believe he does love Zhan.
3) The scene when Du Zhi shows up at the birthday party and then leaves was heartbreaking. Still, I’m glad he told Zhan why he was acting that way.
Fight For You Episodes 1 and 2 (Taiwanese BL on Gagaoolala)
PREMIERE
First Thoughts –
1) I think they should have mixed episodes 1 and 2 into one plotline and started with the part where we learn that Xiao Bai is an undercover agent. If I hadn’t seen the plot summary on MyDramaList, I would have been so confused by episode 1.
2) I like the premise, but it was hard to get invested.
3) I will try episode 3, but we’ll have to see if I continue after that.
Saturday, March 29
Series I’m not watching:
Flirt Milk the Series (FINALE) – This series is ready to binge on YouTube and IQIYI
Sashes and Hearts Episode 6- YouTube
Close to You Episode 4- YouTube
PREMIERE – Heesu In Class 2
Episodes 1 and 2 (Korean BL on Viki)
Note: Episode 1 aired on Friday.
First Thoughts –
1) The opening scene, when Heesu is running to Seungwon, drew me in immediately.
2) Heesu has no idea what he wants because he exists only for Seungwon. It would be great if his development were to find his own likes.
3) I will keep watching! 👀🎞️
Your Sky of Us Episode 1 – Your Sky spin-off (Thai BL on IQIYI)
Thoughts –
1) If you need a bit of fluffiness in your life, then this is the episode for you.
2) Just because you’re cooperative and non-combative doesn’t mean you’re a green flag.
3) I’m wondering what’s next since the party plot is a one-and-done.
I can’t believe I’m about to say this, but as far as I’m aware, there are no new series premiering next week. With Ossan’s Love Thailand wrapped up, Mondays will be barren. Tuesday has a Vietnamese BL, but this Tuesday is the final episode, which will leave Tuesdays bare as well. It is a sad state of affairs…. Maybe.
Still, there are 13 currently airing BL series, which is plenty for me to keep up with.
