Wasted potential. That is what this BL was, which is such a shame as the premise was initially entertaining. Then it slipped into banality and triteness.

“Chaser Game W2: Utsukushiki Tennyotachi” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
After watching the second season, I felt the show was not up to my expectations. Compared to this season, I think I enjoyed the first season better as there was a little plot in the name of “Lovers to Enemies to Lover Again” trope but in the second season, I felt lots of awkwardness between both characters, irrelevant plots, and too many plot holes. The story seems to be a forced continuation, the miscommunication and misunderstanding between both characters seem irritating; because when Season One ended, I expected that there would be rapid development between Itsuki (Sugai Yuuka) and Fuyu (Nakamura Yurika). Fuyu’s marriage issue will be resolved, and she will accept herself but the way it was handled, and on top of that they introduced Itsuki’s ex which led to more problems between them.

“Spare Me Your Mercy” Series Review (Ep.3 to 8)
As the curtains close on Spare Me Your Mercy, the Thai BL series delivers a poignant exploration of morality, love, and loss.

“People Come Later” Series Review (Ep.1 to 4)
This is an astonishing gem of a series that is packed with so much sagacity and common sense, it almost overwhelms your own sense of value. I have seen so many endings that are artificially contrived to be happy but here is one that does not. And I lamented as I really wanted one. But the reality is that not everyone in life has one. And in this case, the choice was made, deliberately, not to have one. Unquestionably, this series is one of the most powerful BLs I have seen this year. It is astonishing but unfortunately, will not be seen by many because it is a low budget production, the quality is imperfect in places, and the story is just too real for most BL fanatics. This story is about ordinary life. That in and of itself makes it unique and unfortunately not within the mainstream of the BL genre. Vietnam has a masterful way of presenting its series with genuineness and reality. This is no exception.

“Bad Guy My Boss” Series Review (Ep. 4 to 12)
“Bad Guy My Boss” started off as an interesting and provocative watch, however, as it progressed, it became quite monotonous and resulted in a tedious show that lost me as the audience. While the story of a situation-ship between a boss and their subordinate is titillating, and the progression of the relationship dynamic can be interesting, the way in which the show tackles the relationship and the characters was subpar, and with little to no character growth, the story seemed to be stuck on the first half of the series, and the relationships did not grow organically, but the growth was moved by outside factors pertaining to the business, instead of internal factors affecting the relationship.

“Blue Canvas of Youthful Days” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
Ah, shucks! This series started out so promising with fantastic characters. I was hooked and consumed by the story – initially. Who would not be? A rich kid trying to escape from his abusive father. A marginalized young man with ginormous artistic skills. An astonishingly handsome young man with a hearing loss trying to make it in a world cruel to him. And an art teacher operating an art school on a shoestring budget and who turns to alcohol to try to deal with an insane mother. Plus, a grandfather suffering from early stages of dementia. Wow! I am totally in.
