Thai BL series have fully embraced the Yaoi elements with the 2024’s batch of series. We had shows like “House of Stars”, “Playboyy” and “Only Friends” which compensated for a lack of quality script or good acting by some of the cast with the sensuality, a heavy lean on sexual situations, or brevity by characters who originally presented themselves as cool serious personas; doing outrageous and funny things that somehow worked in the mini universes the series created.

“Two Worlds” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)

Frankly, it is irrelevant how many worlds this series had; even a half a dozen more would not have helped. It is just awful. I am sorry to say that as I so wanted to like this drama.
