“Be Mine, Superstar” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)

JaFirst is one of my favorite BL Ships. I enjoyed their characters of Leo and Fiat in TharnType: 7 Years in Love – and I loved them even more in their spin-off series Don’t Say No and though they were part of an ensemble cast, Remember Me was a masterpiece.

“Stupid Genius” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)

For pure entertainment and good, clean, fun peppered with a good dose of moral lessons thrown in for good measure, there is nothing like a good Vietnamese BL to do the job for you.

“Hidden Agenda” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Hidden Agenda is a typical varsity based love story between Joke (Joong Archen) and Zoo (Dunk Natachai). Zo has a crush on Nita, a fellow student who is Joke’s ex-girlfriend. To woo Nita, Zo’s friends advise Zo to ask Joke for help in winning his ex-girlfriend’s heart. After watching the first two episodes, I found the plot to be a bit similar to another on-air GMMTV series, Be My Favorite. The main lead has a crush on a fellow student and seeks the help of a handsome guy who is either the ex of the girl they have a crush on or the person the girl has a crush on.

“House of Stars” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)

A multimillion baht house with beautiful actors working for the same company, thriving on the drama they can create in each other’s lives, is the setting for “House of Stars”. The show is a twelve episode drama surrounding the residents of the house, all of whom follow the strict house rules only when it suits them. The series moves like a spider interconnecting the characters like flies to the web of need that the house owner Miss Susie (Rudklao Amratisha) weaves. Offering rewards like fame, money, opportunities and access to the other actors for sex of romance (passively, as she has hidden cameras everywhere in the house and uses them to manipulate the actors).

“Stay by My Side” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Bu Xia (Hong Wei Zhe) is a timid, playful and seemingly superstitious boy, whose family seems to be in touch with their spiritual side, with his sister having taken over the family shrine since the death of their grandfather. After several encounters bumping into him on campus, Bu Xia meets Jiang Chi (Yang I Hsuan), who becomes his roommate, despite Bu Xia wanting to have his own room. Jiang Chi is quite the opposite of Bu Xia, he is more serious, stern and tidy, which creates disputes between them. Although they start out with various conflicts, it doesn’t take long before both of them realize that they can be more accommodating and begin to get along reluctantly.
