I'm a Researcher by profession, prone to questioning everything. Living in Mumbai, I grew up on a stable diet of monotonous Indian dramas which stretch for a decade or so and I sincerely wanted to elude the boredom. So I escaped into the unknown, which is the world of BL dramas. I love sharing my thoughts about the storyline, characters and analyzing the smallest details possible. When something touches my heart, I want to know what others feel about the subject matter as well. That’s why, I’m here at BL Xpress. Being a writer gives me an outlet to explore my inner emotions and turmoil

“Young Royals Season Three” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)

“Love shouldn’t be so hard”

This solemn yet painful thought resonates throughout the series finale. Love isn’t something easy, but it shouldn’t be so hard either. It is about adapting, giving space and understanding each other’s needs. Something that both Wilhelm & Simon fail at, before they reconsider their choices and reconcile towards the end. The finale was everything that I hoped for and some more. Without sidelining the royal romance which is the heart of this story, the show hightails important issues like internalized homophobia, traditional hierarchy and unjustified prejudices. As Wilhelm and Simon grapple with the consequences of Wilhelm’s public declaration of their love; Hillerska is thrown into chaos, the Queen has a mental breakdown and August goes through a character transformation. The show packs a lot in the six episodes to bid a fitting farewell to these characters that have carved a special place in our hearts.

“Cherry Magic Thai” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)

I pondered endlessly on how to best handle this review. Should I make a detailed comparison between the Thai and the Japanese versions? Should I compare the acting calibers of the main pairings in both versions? And ultimately, which version was better?

“Pit Babe” Series Review (Ep.3 to 13)

Adapted from the web novel “Pit Babe” (พิษเบ๊บ) by _alittlebitch (also known as alittlebixth), Peter Nopachai’s rustic adaptation ended on a high note. Based on the fictional ABO/Omegaverse universe, the show’s ratings skyrocketed because of the natural chemistry between the various pairings littered across this universe. While the storytelling was indeed faulty in some places, the stellar casting made up for the odd pacing. This was one of those shows that leaves you with mixed feelings; I won’t say that I was exactly enamored with the series. Nevertheless, it was flavorful in its own ways. There are reasons to watch this show; let me list them first before we journey into the disaster zone!

“Twins” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

When Lovemedia Thailand first started with the promotions, “Twins The Series” was marketed as a sport themed BL. Whilst the Thai BL industry is filled with high school dramas or engineering misnomers, we were never offered a full fledged sports drama. As such, the expectations were high from a cast that included handsome hunks who seemed to fit the bill of volleyball players. Either ways, I was never enthusiastic about sports labeled shows. But then my X timeline was filled with spoilers once the show premiered; the end result- I gave in to the urge. The pilot episodes were pretty lame and dragged on; nothing substantial to hold onto. So, why did I continue on this journey? Despite the mediocre writing with abundant potholes, the lead pairing manage to savage the show. Without pulling any punches, let’s dive into this review!
