“Soon we only started to see each other’s flaws. I was so afraid of destroying the relationship we had built…..Even if I die, I want to be with you.” – quotes from Ossan’s Love

“Dead Friend Forever” Series Review (Ep.4 to 12)
“Dead Friend Forever” (DFF) started out rather slowly paced, gained a lot of momentum in the middle, however, by episode 8, the show provided too much unnecessary exposition and plot that did not quite tie in, and fell short in their resolution which resulted in a subpar finale. However, as a slasher/horror series, it delivered on the scares, gore, and delved into the horrors of the human mind which acts as a cautionary tale against bullying and being complicit in the face of others’ wrongdoings.

“Young Royals Season Three” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)
“Love shouldn’t be so hard”
This solemn yet painful thought resonates throughout the series finale. Love isn’t something easy, but it shouldn’t be so hard either. It is about adapting, giving space and understanding each other’s needs. Something that both Wilhelm & Simon fail at, before they reconsider their choices and reconcile towards the end. The finale was everything that I hoped for and some more. Without sidelining the royal romance which is the heart of this story, the show hightails important issues like internalized homophobia, traditional hierarchy and unjustified prejudices. As Wilhelm and Simon grapple with the consequences of Wilhelm’s public declaration of their love; Hillerska is thrown into chaos, the Queen has a mental breakdown and August goes through a character transformation. The show packs a lot in the six episodes to bid a fitting farewell to these characters that have carved a special place in our hearts.

“Although I Love You, and You?” Series Review (Ep.3 to 10)
Love is an unpredictable journey that leaves a lot up to chance and complicated individual human emotions. We don’t choose who we fall in love with. Sometimes that leads to heartbreak. Other times, it leads to joy and healing.

“Playboyy” Series Review (Ep.1 to 14)
This series is an erotic roller-coaster ride through the world of gay love. If non-gay people want to know what it is like to be gay, then this is the series to watch. Not the idealized versions of BLs. This is what the world of gayness is, whether you want to believe it or not, accept it or not. It is what it is. Sure, it is the darker side, but it is no less real than the ornament sanitized version of what GAY love is via BL. In other words, this is its antithesis. This expresses the real world.

“Cooking Crush” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12) [Cut Version]
I’ll be honest from the beginning. This is not going to be a very positive review. If you’re an OffGun fan who loved the show and don’t want to read anything negative about it, I would suggest to stop reading this review right now. If you’re an OffGun fan who was massively disappointed by the show like I was, go ahead.

“For Him” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
This series is marred by something, and I wrestled with trying to find the most appropriate word to describe that. A word that is strong enough and powerful enough to impart disconnect to what is happening in this series. Finally, I found the precise word: Eschew, which literally means ‘to keep away from or shun, avoid, circumvent, boycott, or dodge’. Quite literally everyone in this series does what he can to avoid telling the truth, or face reality, or abstain from communicating effectively, openly, or honestly. It seems to be the driving force of Thai BLs to be as evasive and elusive as you can to create artificial dramas. This is another sad example of that artifice.
