Him is not as I thought previously an object pronoun but the name of one of the main characters. Kuddos for Thai BL for always being so creative when it comes to character names.

“The Sign” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
The end of the year always gives us delightful treats regarding BL productions. 2023, in particular, is ending with a bang. There are such great BL series in motion! Most importantly, the variety of subjects portrayed makes it all that much more fun. We are no longer stuck with a one-theme-only BL engineer students series. Plots are more carefully scripted and acted out, even though there’s room for improvement in the editing department. What pleases me the most are the more mature content and characters.
GOOD OMENS 2: A GETTING CLOSER
Alright! The most anticipated second season is finally available on Amazon Prime! I cried tears of joy and instantly hit play on my TV. But despite knowing – sort of – what to expect, I was still caught by surprise by so many twists and turns. I ended up staring at the void for a few minutes until it dawned on me what had just happened as the last episode of the season rolled the credits. Then I sobbed uncontrollably, but that’s neither here nor there. I should have known better than that anyway.

Is Good Omens Queer or a QueerBaiting Romance?
When the first season of Good Omens was announced, I had a vague idea of what it was about: angels and demons fighting the apocalypse.

My TOP 5 Korean BL series
South Korea is relatively new to the BL scene compared to others. While Japan remains number one in manga/anime production, others have started to catch up. South Korea has released so many manhwas – the Korean term for graphic novels – over the past couple of years that even I am having trouble following them all, and I’m a massive consumer of yaoi. Yet, even with such a large production of yaoi manhwa and novels, I confess I did not expect South Korea to join the BL series bandwagon so soon. After all, South Korea is still very conservative. Then again, society in general is still quite conservative, isn’t it?
My Top 5 Japanese BL Dramas
If you’ve been around for a while like I have, you are very familiar with the concept of BL as the umbrella term for all things concerning man/man romance in the Asian realm.
