“Something is Not Right” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Adapted from the webtoon Who Can Define Popularity? by Tak Bon, the Korean BL Something is Not Right stars Choi Min Ho as Do Ba U, Jung Je Hyeon as Ji Hun, and Ji Min Seo as Jung Ha Min and kicks off with a slow-burn setup built on unspoken feelings, crossed wires, and a temporary fake dating arrangement that’s only going to make things messier.

“Business As Usual” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Thirty feels heavier than it should. Kim Min Jun goes to work, comes home, repeats. The same office coffee. The same blinking cursor. The same silence waiting for him when he walks through the door. Everything’s fine. Nothing’s wrong. But nothing moves either. Not really.

“GelBoys” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)

Why This Isn’t Just Another BL

GelBoys isn’t content to be just another Thai BL. It’s a cultural artifact, this series is a love letter to Gen Z’s chaotic heartbeat, filmed against the graffiti-tagged walls and skytrain tracks of Siam Square. With the creative team behind I Told Sunset About You and The Paradise of Thorns, it’s a low-budget revolution, proof that Thai BL can thrive beyond big studios.

“I Found Love at 7-11” Series Review

This series actually has a number of different headings, but I liked this one the most. You have to search to find this gem as it is not ‘officially’ translated into English, so I am thankful for the individual who did so. Otherwise, I would never have been able to watch this. I became intrigued by the title, and it honestly did not disappoint me. It is a slice-of-life narrative with surprisingly good acting and fairly good story lines that are really cutting edge. This is an obviously low budget series, but these actors put their heart and soul into this creation. It took a rather mundane story and turned into a feel-good series. It was like wrapping yourself in a warm blanket on a cold night kind of feeling.

“Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

After The drama of The Heart Killers (เขาจ้างให้ผมจีบนักฆ่า) and the supernatural sex appeal of My Golden Blood (เลือดนายลมหายใจฉัน) I am glad to see GMMTV returning to their lighthearted roots with their newest series Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist. The Series stars Mark Pakin (ภาคิน คุณาอนุวิทย์) and Ohm Thipakorn (ฐิภากร ฐิตะฐาน) and is absolutely adorable.

“Ossan’s Love Thailand” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

The saying that ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’ is not always true. This series proved that. I shall come right out and say it. This is one of the worst BLs I have ever seen and one of the worst supposed remakes I have ever seen as well. To put it bluntly, this version was fatuous. Everything about it is. The production. The acting. The story. The plot. Hardly any of it even resembles the originality of the Japanese version. That had humanity. It had heart. Most importantly, it had authenticity sprinkled with humor, grace, and tons of human emotions. I can categorically tell you that the original Japanese version of Ossan’s Love was a masterpiece. This is simply a farce. Before you start clutching your pearls and calling me names, let me explain my reasons.

“ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)

Everything about “ThamePo: Heart That Skips a Beat” feels so incredibly well-crafted. From the story to the performances to the sheer emotional depth—it’s been a rollercoaster, and now that the show has ended, I’m left with a bittersweet feeling, the kind that lingers long after the credits roll.
