“Jack and Joker: U Steal My Heart” Series Review (Ep. 3 to 12)

Leave a comment

There’s something undeniably magical about War Wanarat and Yin Anan when they share the screen. It’s more than just chemistry. Maybe it’s their friendship. Maybe it’s their uncanny ability to tap into nuanced emotions while weaving romance effortlessly into their performances. Whatever the reason, they consistently bring a depth to their characters—a depth that resonates even when the story itself falls a little short.

“Perfect 10 Liner” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 4)

1 Comment

“Perfect 10 Liners”, like “We Are Series”, is a fun buddy romedy comedy series, which centers around a group of friends, who grow together and find love. Despite not having much substance, it is a feel-good romcom that is meant to be a comfort watch, with little to no tension. “Perfect 10 Liners” is your quintessential BL, you know what you’re getting and you’re happy with it, and it doesn’t pretend to be anything more than it is. The problem with this, however, is that it can be boring and seem overdone, but at the same time, it is a show that wouldn’t disappoint you with its formulaic storytelling. This is for the slice of life lovers, who just want to watch a good romance and see friends goof around while falling in love with no stakes.

“Reverse 4 You” Series Review (Ep.4 to 8)

1 Comment

“Reverse 4 You” is an interesting take on “star-crossed lovers” who have to overcome their fate and find a way to be together, not just with each other, but with their loved ones. I believe that the show would have benefitted from telling stories of Jattawa (Mae Methakarn Anektanasuwan), Vivi (Manao Natnicha Polsombat) and Four’s (Christine Gulasatree Michalsky) past and/or alternative lives to drive the story and add tension, instead of following just one timeline, because it left the ending feeling too rushed and the pay off was lacking because some crucial things were not explained or dealt with. With enough care and thought, this could have been a very compelling series, but it because boring very quickly due to the writers focusing on all the wrong aspects of it.

“Fourever You” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 6)

Leave a comment

Easter (Earth Katsamonnat) intentionally attends a university in the north of Thailand. He hopes to find a new place to erase the memories of his relationship with his ex, which didn’t end clearly. But he doesn’t think that he would meet with Hill (Pond Ponlawit), his ex again at this university. And it is the beginning of a relationship that will not end in the same way ever. At the same time, his roommate, North (Bas Hatsanat), also faces chaos because he was drunk and caused a quarrel, then woke up with the debt. But it could be more chaotic because the god just sent him a flirtatious and very spoiled creditor, Johan (Maxky Ratchata). The stories of these roommates will be followed by their friends from the Art club, Typhoon (Tonliew Methaphat) and Daotok (Oat Tharathon) with the senior medical students Tonfah (Bever Patsapon) and Arthit (Ngern Anupart). Their friendship in this university and love stories will be memorable notes for a long time.

When I was a little kid, we only knew about our nine planets. Since then, we’ve downgraded Pluto but have discovered that other solar systems and stars are common. So life is probably quite prevalent- Buzz Aldrin

“Club Friday Season 16: Domestic Incident” Series Review (Ep.1 to 4)

Leave a comment

I was thunderstruck by the theme of this series. It is a story in an anthology labeled “Club Friday”. Its content is one I have never seen before and certainly involves a very controversial topic. If they had been more adult about its fruition and handled it like a ruminative production, this would and could have been up there as the Best BL for 2024. However, in my opinion, they lacked the courage to push the envelope here to make it more consequential.

“Bad Guy My Boss” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)

Leave a comment

“Bad Guy My Boss” is your run-of-the-mill office BL romance between a pouty boss and a hardworking, eager-to-please assistant. Despite the questionable acting and over the top airbrushing, the story is interesting enough to keep one tuned in. The time-tested appeal of office romance seems to always hold up for me, because the formula is quite straightforward, and “Bad Guy My Boss” does not shy away from following that formula, therefore giving us a good enough story that is easy to follow along with and interesting enough that you will not be bored, regardless of how overdone the trope may seem. After all, there is a reason why it became popular to begin with.
