While I wouldn’t say I’m knowledgeable when it comes to omegaverse fiction, I’m aware of the genre enough to know that Knot doesn’t quite manage to capture the hype.

“Don’t Be Too Emotional” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)

“You Maniac” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
It’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a chase, and that’s exactly what the Thai BL You Maniac offers.
It’s a “playing hard to get” manual that’s heavy on the tension and edging toward romance.

“4 Thirties Gossip” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
What pure joy this bitesize series is! Just about an hour and a half long in total, it is pure pleasure to watch. It is like being with old friends, especially if you are gay, young, and into a lifestyle where gayness is your number one priority. I remember the feelings and sensations as if it was just yesterday, although it has been literally decades ago.

“Send Your Pain to the Wind” Series Review (Ep.1 to 5)
By far, this is one of the most profoundly moving and reflective stories I have ever watched. It is effulgent, but I may be the only one who thinks that. It is storytelling at its finest, with the Vietnamese being the only ones who could pull off such a masterful manipulative story in such a distinguished manner. You MUST pay close attention to its nuances as well as the characters, otherwise you will get lost. Literally. I had to watch this series twice before I fully understood it and fully appreciated its intricacies. And it is really one of the more creative, original, and pensive tales of love I have ever seen. It is certainly NOT a BL but a solid and breathtaking gay story of unrequited love lasting more than 30 years. It is a story also of deep sadness, loneliness, and staggering regret. Yet, at the same time, it is also a reflection of the acceptance of the fate en route towards forbearance. The story is very, very ambiguous. Frankly, my interpretation may not be how you see it, but after watching it twice, I think I understood its meaning en masse.
