The struggle between the rich and the poor, and society’s battle against tyranny, are timeless stories. They’re universally relatable, easy to root for, and hard not to love. Who doesn’t enjoy seeing an underdog rise above injustice?

“Addicted Heroine” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 4)

Leave a comment

Hello everyone! I am thrilled to share my impression of the newest Thai BL adaptation of the well-known Chinese BL drama “Addicted Heroine”. As a huge fan of the original series, my expectations for this version were sky-high, especially in terms of casting the leads, Bai Luo Yin and Gu Hai, now re-imagined as Hero and Poppy. Let me walk you through my thoughts on this exciting new series.

“Love Sea” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)

1 Comment

This series is exceptional, surprisingly. I was not expecting it to affect me as deeply as it did, but one had to frankly get through a lot of cacophony to get to the story. But once you did, and evaluated that, it was much deeper than most viewers, I think, realized. It honestly left me emotionally drained. This series, I felt.

“Wandee Goodday” Series Review (Ep. 1 to 12)

3 Comments

This series is a dichotomous BL, bordering on being oxymoronic. Sometimes brilliant then slipping into utter banality. Occasionally poignant but mostly filled with mundane trite tediousness. Sporadic displays of serious adult behaviors but mostly overshadowed with adolescent/pubescence behavioral patterns acting like petulant teenage children instead of adults in a serious sexual relationship. Occasional story lines eliciting tears and then in the next dialogue nothing but endless dribble of cliches and platitudes. In other words, not generally reflecting real life but an idealized sanitized world peppered with a whisper of reality and an occasional homage to authenticity. The best word to describe this series is: puffery. I simply had a hard time relating to this story.

“Show Me Love” Series Review (Ep.1 to 9)

Leave a comment

“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.
