“Two Worlds” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)
Frankly, it is irrelevant how many worlds this series had; even a half a dozen more would not have helped. It is just awful. I am sorry to say that as I so wanted to like this drama. However, this is again going to be one of those series that if you are a fan of the two leads (which I really am), you will perhaps enjoy this series. I tried, but for me the whole thing fell apart at the beginning- from the banal screenplay to production issues to vapid acting. All of it was just plain mediocre to subpar.

“Heartbreak High Season Two” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
The second season of “Heartbreak High” is as drama-packed as one would expect, with friendships blossoming, relationships and characters developing, the titular heartbreaks of course and Amerie (Ayesha Madon) never really catching a break. “Heartbreak High” deserves the same treatment that its predecessor did, with many seasons and more episodes, because it is not only entertaining, but tackles a wide variety of issues that teens deal with, that could be handled with more nuance if it wasn’t limited to the 8 episodes that Netflix has doomed it to. There is a lack of topical, fun teen dramas that are engaging and pop cultural in the way that “Pretty Little Liars”, “Gossip Girl” and all the ABC and CW dramas did back in the day, and “Heartbreak High” fills this gap, with a queer-forward diverse cast and tackling real issues in a way that it seems like it must go on forever.

“Deep Night” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
This is a surprisingly, shockingly smart, articulate, and very well-done BL with loads of moral precepts that I was not expecting. In other words, I loved this series through and through. It is very adult-like and tackles some sensitive issues in a veiled way that you have to peel away like an onion. The screenplay is very impressive. Sure, it has its weak moments, but they are few and far between and do not deflect from its core message.
“Gap The Series” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
Long after Sam first came to Mon’s rescue when they were kids, Sam is unambiguously Mon’s idol. To be near her, Mon gets a job working under her. When they finally meet again at the office, Mon is surprised by her icy exterior, so different from the image she’d had of her and what she wants to be. Mon and Sam aren’t just different in demeanor; they stand apart in class and between them is a gap of eight years.

“The Sign” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)
I grew up on a stable diet of Indian mythological (Ramayana & Mahabharata), both have been remade again & again with different casting. The central character that remains at the heart of both mythologies is Lord Vishnu (both Lord Ram & Lord Krishna are his reincarnations). So, when the trailer for “The Sign” was released, I was intrigued; because it had two main characters based on Indian mythology. I was surprised to say the least; Garuda is the vahana/vehicle of Lord Vishnu while Sheshanaga is his mount. Although we know about the enmity between Garuda and Nagas, their story was never properly described/depicted beyond the fact that they both serve Lord Vishnu. So, to see two divine figures from the Indian mythology in a Thai drama was quite riveting. It was only after the show started that I realised that Thais have their own myths about Garuda & Nagas. The show is hugely based in modern era, but is fantasy drama based on the age long enmity between the two demigods. In Buddhism, Garudas are enormous predatory birds with intelligence and social organisation. The Garudas have kings and cities, and some of them have the magical power of changing into human form; as can be witnessed with Phaya’s characterization. The Garuda are enemies to the nāga, a race of intelligent serpent- or dragon-like beings, whom they hunt. Nagas are believed to live in either water bodies or in caves and have different clans; as witnessed by their attire. Tharn is mostly shown wearing green clothes, which depict his noble status while Chalothorn is show wearing black clothes which signify the fact that he is a royal. “The Sign” cleverly combines these age-old mythologies with the concept of reincarnation to script a thriller that is incomparable to most modern dramas in the BL world.

“Memory in the Letter” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)
Watching this series is like wrapping yourself up in a warm cozy blanket on a cold winter’s night as you are reading a romantic allegory. While the sensation is comforting, the fable still provides you with enough stimulation to keep you awake. But you suddenly realize that you reach a part in the story where one of two possible endings can happen. Either a fairy tale one or a tragic one. While I certainly love a fairy tale ending (and these two guys deserved one), I was preparing myself for a tragic one as the series did seem a bit dark overall. Unfortunately, I got neither one. And I threw off my warm blanket and started to cry with disappointment. Let me elaborate.
