“Show Me Love” is a story about girl power, sisterhood and falling in love. The acting is quite outstanding, and the actors are extremely comfortable in front of the camera and have great chemistry, which was refreshing to see (this has to be said because there are a lot of actors that get to lead series but are very stiff in front of the camera it’s uncomfortable to watch). Although the story itself is your run-of-the-mill romance story, it is not complicated, and the characters are able to talk through things to avoid any unnecessary prolonging of the story, which I quite appreciated. The chemistry between the leads was so compelling that even though a “special episode” was released to show the more intimate scenes, the scenes in which they were more oblivious of their feelings were much more captivating to the audience.

“Blank Season Two” Series Review (Ep.3 to 6)
Starring Faye Peraya and Yoko Apasra in key roles as Khun Neeung and Aneung, Blank is an age-gap love story between two women, who find comfort and love in each other when no one around them understands their love. Whenever they feel like they have no one who understands them, they end up in each other arms where they feel complete, happy and at home. Of all the Thai GLs that I have watched I can say that “Blank” was one of the best. It has good acting, a moving plot, and hot chemistry between the actors.

“Century of Love” Series Review (Ep.3 to 10)
Love is a powerful thing. It is powerful enough to bridge generations, erase hate, and overcome prejudices. If we let it. Love is powerful enough to bring two people together so intimately that it’s hard to tell where one begins and the other ends.

A Promising Return: First Impressions of Thailand’s “4 Minutes”
After months away from reviewing due to a demanding schedule, I am thrilled to make my comeback with Thailand’s latest series, “4 Minutes.” This series has instantly captivated my attention, and I’m excited to share my impressions of the first two episodes.
“We Are” Series Review (Ep.5 to 16)
“We Are” is a medley of romantic tropes and sappiness that is very welcome in the BL scene. It is the quintessential romcom, an easygoing series about a group of friends who find love and support each other throughout the process. “We Are” is refreshing and fun and even though it doesn’t give you any drama, the romance and friendship are enough to drive this 16-episode series, and the different couples give us a wide range of romantic tropes, there is no screen time wasted because all the stories develop at different paces, keeping us engaged from start to finish. As a big fan of slice of life shows with minimum conflict, “We are” was such a treat, and I hope there is more demand for such low stakes BLs in the midst of all the high drama, high production and educational ones.
“My Stand-In” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)
For better or worse, we don’t choose who we fall in love with, but we can determine what we do with that love.
“Only Boo” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
This is a Thai BL that frankly stands out for me. I had almost given up on Thai BLs because of their unoriginal story lines and sameness. Frankly, they were getting banal. And with the title of this one, it well sort of screamed out to me to skip it because of its vapidity. I am so glad I did not. I loved this series but with two caveats.
