Adapted from the novel “Nai Hia Bok Mai Chop Dek” (ไหนเฮียบอกไม่ชอบเด็ก) by MissPa_Ob (นางสาวผอบ), “My Stubborn” had a clear directive & motion. It was NOT to repeat M Flow Entertainment’s past mistakes. Most shows from the said agency have poor production value & highly enthusiastic sex scenes. But sex can only sell so far; doesn’t mean “My Stubborn” doesn’t delve on it. Almost 80% of the narrative includes unhindered & unapologetic sex scenes between the main leads. I’m yet to find an episode where they weren’t kissing or having a full-blown sex session. Sex plays an important role in most M Flow Entertainment’s dramas. And yet, “My Stubborn” was far better than the precedents set by the company with their prior productions. The high ratings could very well be attributed to the high class chemistry between the main leads, Boat Yongyut & Oat Pasakorn.

“Memoir of Rati” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Romance isn’t something that can be planned. It isn’t something that can be decided by rank, title, or the weight of someone else’s opinion. Love doesn’t care about decorum or boundaries, it simply begins.

“Loy Kaew First Love” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)
This series can best be described by a quote from Charles Dickens, “A Tale of Two Cities” – “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” It had an exceptional storyline only to slip into banality and nonsensical story arcs. Here is yet again another Thai series that simply had no idea what a great diegesis it actually had. If only they had followed through with their main title.

“Ball Boy Tactics” Series Review (Ep.3 to 8)
Love isn’t always a grand thing. For most of us, it’s simply about being able to accept ourselves with the person we care about most.

“I Became the Main Role of a BL Season Two” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
The second season of I Became the Main Role of a BL picks up exactly where the first left off. Only now, the stage is set, not for introductions, but for deeper entanglements. We already know Yuichiro and Hajime. We’ve rooted for them, laughed with them, watched them stumble their way into something that looks a lot like love. Now, we get to see what happens when the confessions are out in the open, but the growing pains of a new relationship are just beginning.

“Depth of Field” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Life is like a photograph with a focal point and a blurred background. Sometimes we’re so focused on what’s happening to us, or within us, that we lose sight of what’s unfolding around us.

“Jian Hun” Series Review (Ep.1 to 25)
I downright fall under the spell of certain themes in either movies or series. This series had two of my favorites. Time travel and swashbuckling epic times full of exotic and romantic lore, legends, and traditions. And especially given my naïve Western upbringing, I am heart and soul smitten by Chinese fable and mythology. This series transported me back into time, like with the character, where I too could imagine myself beside them. Perhaps I have always secretly harbored a desire to be a valiant hero from another culture in the past.
“Infidelity: It’s A Disease” Series Review (Ep.1 to 4)
Colorful, creative, and comical. This is the best way to describe this short BL series from China. It most assuredly will make you smile. This is a series that feels ordinary in the sense that I can see this happening in real life as the story does have an air of plausibility about it.

“My Sweetheart Jom” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 5)
I went into My Sweetheart Jom expecting a light, slightly chaotic romantic comedy with a countryside twist. What I found instead was a slow burn gem with a gentle heartbeat, one that’s surprisingly grounded, deeply charming, and quietly thoughtful in how it builds character and community.
