Not everyone learns how to love the same way. Life teaches us through loss, neglect, power, tenderness, and survival, and those lessons become the lenses through which we understand intimacy. Thundercloud Rainstorm understands this deeply, presenting love not as a universal language, but as something shaped by experience, trauma, and the environments that raise us.

Sometimes it takes a little competition to realize what was right in front of you the entire time.
Power. Obsession. Possession. Need. Jealousy. Emotions we’re taught to fear, avoid, or rise above, and yet they’re also the ones that reveal how fiercely we long to hold onto the people who matter. And in Thundercloud Rainstorm, those emotions don’t hide in the shadows, they take center stage.

This is a sweet journey if you are drawn to sweet genteel cliché friends-to-lovers romance narratives. All the characters are sweet. The story is sweet. The outcome is sweet. But be forewarned. You might slip into a diabetic coma from watching this rather short series because of all the sweetness that is pumped into your blood from this saccharin novella.

While there is nothing in this series you have not seen in other similar versions before, perhaps done much better and deeper than here, there is still enough hitherto to grab your attention.

Life is an interesting mix of feelings and misunderstandings, each of which tend to face off with each other most when we’re in love. That’s exactly what My Bias is Showing captures at its core, a lighthearted, heartfelt story that manages to be both charming and surprisingly relatable.

Yet again, this is another example of a potentially good BL series that went awry. There is a lot of good acting in this series. The issue is, it was wasted in a noxious story. I want to cry over the content (or lack thereof) that is being used to construct BL stories. While I know there ought to be no topics off limits, I do wish more positive representations of ‘Boys Love’ could be portrayed. Or at least ones that are not always so pessimistic in nature and content and/or surrounded by such ugly and negative dimensions. Generally speaking, Korean BL tend to be dark and broody; this one was exceptionally morose and despairing, sprinkled with a mixture of odd personas that sometimes worked. And sometimes not.

“Friendly Rivalry” is friendly enough until it turns into a tell-tale of drug abuse, murder mystery and ricocheting teenagers going berserk!
