A murder mystery wrapped in horror wrapped in romance. Beware of ethics violations, puppy eyes and obviously ghosts!

“Interminable” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
This series impressed me with its insightful portrayal of gay love. By far, it is one of the best Thai BLs to have been produced in a very, very long time, with one of the best acted as well. And I do not say that for mere puffery. I was completely and totally absorbed by this astonishing historical/fantasy series. This is a drama best experienced by thinking of it as a theater-in-the-round play, rather than a lakorn. Its nuances and chains of events have to be focused on in general, otherwise one could get lost in its details. Perhaps that is its lack, although I found its cinematography uniquely inspiring. It requires a certain embracement of concepts, at least for Westerners, that are esoteric in nature. One must be absorbed by the story itself to appreciate its evolutions.

“My Romance Scammer” First Impressions (Ep 1 & 2)

“Burnout Syndrome” Series Review (Ep.3 to 10)
The world thrives on contradiction. Tenderness alongside cruelty, excess beside scarcity, ambition tangled with ruin. Every life drafts its own narrative in the margins of that chaos with some stories lingering in a way that burns.

“The Love Never Sets” Series Review (Ep.1 to 13)
This is another example of a BL production that, while visually appealing, does ultimately fall short in terms of overall quality when examined more closely. I am not sure when this parade of drivel is ever going to stop, and we will start to get quality Thail BLs that have some mastery to them.

“Cat for Cash” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
“A cat has absolute emotional honesty: human beings, for one reason or another, may hide their feelings, but a cat does not”- Ernest Hemingway

“Head 2 Head” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
We see so many stories about how tragic love can be, how sweet it can be, how beautiful or devastating it can make us. Less often, we get a story that leans into the magic of love instead. Head 2 Head is one of those series. It takes longing, timing, fate, and second chances, and treats them like something precious.
“Fourever You Season Two” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 4)
This series follows Phoon (Tonliew Methaphat), who unexpectedly meets his former neighbor Fah (Bever Patsapon) again at university after many years. Their reunion brings back painful memories for Phoon, including guilt and unresolved feelings connected to a past family tragedy. While Fah is gentle and kind, Phoon struggles to face him and cannot move past the hurt from the past. The first three episodes focus more on the awkward and emotional tension between the two, but a little bit in episode three and in four, we see a gradual change of heart, or little character development. Phoon finds it difficult to interact with Fah, making their scenes feel uncomfortable but realistic, as most people who meet someone they badly want to forget or have some painful memory about, would react.
