“Contrast” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
We often think it’s easier to get close to people who mirror us: same interests, same energy, same way of moving through the world. Truth is, finding someone who contrasts you while still understanding you is something else entirely. That delicate balance is what makes the Japanese BL Contrast shine, pulling viewers into the quiet, complicated orbit of two souls who don’t quite fit anywhere else.

“Love is Real” Series Review (Ep.1 to 59)
As opposed to the prequel, which failed to bank on the main lead’s popularity as an established couple, I liked this show slightly better!!
“Fan Service” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)
“Fan Service” doesn’t offer much more than what we can expect from a short miniseries. What got me invested in this show wasn’t the storyline, but the casting. If you are a fan of the Korean dating reality show “His Man”, then you might recognize the protagonists. The show stars Kim Chan Kyu alongside Kim Chang Min as main leads. Both were participants in the first season of “His Man.” From what I remember, they barely had any interaction on the show. So, I was intrigued by what kind of chemistry these two “His Man” contestants would bring to the show. Thankfully, they didn’t disappoint!!
