“Mission to the Moon” Series Review (Ep.1 to 30)

This was a hard series to dislike. Conversely, it was also a difficult series TO like as well. Overall, what brought this series down was its production value and the way it was presented. A comprehensive story cannot be told proficiently in 30 episodes of 8 minutes or so stretched over 3 months. No one’s attention span can last that long or retain details or nuances of a story in that sporadic of a time frame. Especially, this series as several episodes were tedious, repetitive, and lackluster. While the concept was great, it simply droned on too long with the same mundane storylines going nowhere which caused one to lose interest. What was entertaining was the fact that, at times, the main protagonists were quite good and surprisingly effective, given the fantasy nature of the story. Then unfortunately they too slipped into banality and repetitiveness.

“The Ex-Morning” Series Review (Ep.5 to 10)

I think “The Ex-Morning” should be considered one of the best series of 2025, which left a good impression on me. Krist and Singto’s characters in this series are perfectly imperfect, and that’s what makes it more wholesome or believable. The series is based on a “Second-Chance Romance” between Phi (Krist Perawat) and Tam (Singto Prachaya). The plot revolves around heartbreak, a random breakup, misunderstandings, and reconciliation, which was intriguing because it felt like a breath of fresh air in a sea of similarly scripted shows being produced.

“The Nameless Season” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)

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. However, I cannot say that it is not curiously entertaining, for it is. Mainly because of the symmetry between the actors. 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.

“Dating Game” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

I loved this series! It has charm, wit, sweetness in all the right spots, and a bunch of endearing human warmth. While not overly saccharine, it is also not traumatizing. Curiously pensive and reflective, it has all the elements of a most believable love story told in soft, subtle gentle tones that simply make you feel good all over. There are two love stories, actually. Both are surprisingly compelling. While the various protagonists are interconnected, their individual love stories take very different paths to fruition. Both end up being (well, more-or-less) plausible and credible sequences.

Family and betrayal often walk hand in hand, but rarely is that tension as cutting as it is in The Journey to Killing You. Adapted from Asai Sai’s manga Anata wo Korosu Tabi, this Japanese BL drama pulls us deep into the world of the yakuza where loyalty, honor, and survival collide.

We’re all fighting to come to terms with something, whether it’s life changes, taking the next step in a relationship, or responsibilities we’re not sure we want. And that’s precisely the kind of turmoil the Thai BL That Summer throws its viewers into.

“My Bias is Showing” Series Review (Ep.3 to 10)

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.
