“The Sting of Lavender” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
Before I dived into ‘The Sting of Lavender’, the only thing I knew about it was that it was the first queer show, set and created in India, that proudly proclaimed itself a BL series, rather than a gay romance, or a queer media, as Indian series have been wont to do. That piqued my interest, as I have been waiting for India to join the BL boom ever since more and more countries across South-East and East Asia started producing their own series.

“My Colleague at BL Shop Might be the Meant-to-be” Series Review (Ep.1 to 3)
The beauty of short films or mini-series is that sometimes it provides beautiful messages and other times horrific realities in a brief span of time.

“Step by Step” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)
Boy meets boy, engineering faculty meets medical students, good boy meets bad boy- these are all tropes that Thai BL series have used countless times over the years. In 2023, the trend seems to be “Sexy boss meets an adorable Subordinate” as is the case in “A Boss and a Babe” and “Step by Step”. The difference between both lies in the main characters of the two shows. While “A Boss and a Babe” has Laem, a headstrong, over confident intern, “Step by Step” has Pat, a very shy and very timid subordinate. The two bosses seem different as well. While “A Boss and a Babe” has Gun, a headstrong, gay Boss, “Step by Step” has Jeng, a very domineering but headstrong manager who has to learn how to care about his employees.

“Future” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)
Future is the new installation in the En of Love saga. We started with TOSSARRA, then Love Mechanics and finally, This is Love Story. The prequels were very well done, and I liked how all characters were intertwined in all these stories. We get to see all our favorite characters from the previous three series. My favorite couple are Gun Tossakan and Bar Sarawat. Alongside we have Mark, Vee, Pra-Ram, and Nuea.

What better way to question love than with love itself?
“The Day I Loved You” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
The Day I Loved You starts off exactly as advertised. And I do mean that in the best way. It is a cute, fluffy BL set in high school, with a love triangle, unrequited love, sparks flying at the first meeting, prom, the whole shebang. It has kept me hooked after barely thirty minutes of content so far.

“To Do (Oh My God)” Series Review (Ep.1 to 5)
To be honest, this comedic BL is uneven. The story at times got a bit pedestrian. But hidden in this series is another tale; one that is not so sweet and with hints of deep pain and sadness. It is simply confounding yet brilliant how this BL can tell two different stories bound to one character that, seemingly, are insignificant. But is he the key to this captivating series?

“My Story The Series” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
The 2020 Pinoy BL series “My Day” burst on the scene with diverse takes from fans and reviews on whether the series was worth watching. The show was funny with a touch of charm, as the blue collar Sky (Miko Gallardo) fell in love with Ace (Aki Torres) who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. 3 years later have the sequel “My Story” which gives us a glimpse into Sky’s life. Miss Becky, Kim, Jelai, and Jam bid a send off to most of the events that happened before in the prequel.
