“Heated Rivalry” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

From the high expectations and relentless dedication it takes to survive a high-impact, often violent sport, to the unexpected and volatile pull between two rising hockey stars, Heated Rivalry uses both to hook its viewers into a slow-burn, steamy push-and-pull between two men with similar dreams and wildly different lives.

“That Summer” Series Review (Ep.3 to 10)

Love writes its own story. No one journey looks the same, yet every heart chases some version of a happily ever after, whether it lasts a lifetime or becomes a memory we carry with us.

“Takumi- Kun Series” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)

Confusion. I just did not get this series. Perhaps had I known this was composed of snippets of movies/series, I might have appreciated it more. I assumed it was a stand-alone series.

“Goddess Bless You From Death” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Adding another to the list of horror BLs.

The name of this show sounds scary enough. ‘Goddess Bless You From Death’. It shows there will be black magic, death, blood and hopefully, gore. And it’s releasing on 31st October. Perfect!
