“Love in Translation” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Love in Translation is a romantic love story between two main characters whose life choices and goals are totally different. It can be said that it is a love story with a pinch of inspiring moments; I added pinch because only two episodes have been released yet and from what I gathered; it seems that the story will have a connection on a deeper level on different aspects than just being a simple love story. Our first main character Yang (Daou Pittaya) wants to run a successful buisness and is in search of a thai buisness partner to broaden his business while on the other hand our second main character Phamjai (Offroad Kantapon) is the hardcore fan of a chinese influencer Tammy (Jam Charuttha) and wants to pursue her. One thing leads to another and we know that in life things never occur in a simple way. So, sparks starts flying between our main leads as they get to know each other and start spending time together.

“Stay With Me” Series Review (Ep.4 to 24)

How often do we see or read something that takes time to adapt or to process and then leaves us feeling lonely after we finished watching or reading it? Lots of BL dramas and movies are released every year, but only some of them leave a meaningful impact. Stay with Me is one of such dramas that left a deep impression on me. I was hooked from the first episode until the last one. Everything about this series starting from the story line, characters, settings to the direction, was topnotch. Like most of the people, I went into watching the series, thinking about how amazing and well-received the original Addicted was and I never thought that anyone can make a better version of the original show without ruining it. And I am very happy and glad to be wrong. As I had already mentioned in the first impressions- watch the show without comparing every little thing to original one.

“Hidden Agenda” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Hidden Agenda is a typical varsity based love story between Joke (Joong Archen) and Zoo (Dunk Natachai). Zo has a crush on Nita, a fellow student who is Joke’s ex-girlfriend. To woo Nita, Zo’s friends advise Zo to ask Joke for help in winning his ex-girlfriend’s heart. After watching the first two episodes, I found the plot to be a bit similar to another on-air GMMTV series, Be My Favorite. The main lead has a crush on a fellow student and seeks the help of a handsome guy who is either the ex of the girl they have a crush on or the person the girl has a crush on.
