“Dead Friend Forever” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)

Leave a comment

“Dead Friend Forever” (DFF) is a slasher/horror series, about 8 friends who take a trip to a vacation house as a farewell to their friend who is going to study abroad. While on the trip, in the middle of nowhere, it becomes clear that there is a sinister presence that is attacking the boys, and past secrets seem to be haunting them. The boys now have to play a game of cat and mouse with the killer, while some of them are hiding their secrets, about what really happened to their friend, and a “Lord of the Flies”-esque survival game becomes afoot, as the original crew Top (Jet Bundit), Por (Us Nititorn), Tee (JJay Patiphan), Fluke (Bump Pawat), Jin (Copper Phuriwat) and Tan (Mio Athens) tries to hide their acts, from their partners Phi (Ta Nannakun), White (Fuaiz Thanawat) while the audience try to figure out what really happened and what is causing the killings.

“Dinosaur Love” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)+ Final Story (Ep.9+10)

Leave a comment

There is no myths here; that went extent along with the dinosaurs. Instead, it is a jumbled incoherent mess of disorganized shifts of scenes packed with individuals for the most part that are astonishingly unlikable, dumb as a box of rocks, naïve, and caricatures. Some are decidedly despicable creatures as well.

“Absolute Zero” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

2 Comments

This is a touching, sentimental journey of young love that was brilliantly done in the beginning but then got lost in its time journeys to recapture its past. While in some ways the story was exceptional, its execution was unfortunately lacking in logic. Initially it had me hooked on the strength of its young actors playing the parts of their younger selves. Simply put, they were brilliant.

“Bake Me Please” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)

What can another trite, tropey, cliché-ridden Thai series centering around a cooking theme say that has not already been said? Both from a positive and negative perspective that seriously does not sound like a broken record (I know that dates me).

“The Memories” Series Review (Ep.1 to 4)

Leave a comment

Remarkable. This was the first word that came to me in how to describe this distinctive series from Cambodia, a country ostensibly not known for its BLs. But this word seems woefully inadequate, I am afraid. Maybe words are unwarranted here; perhaps only feelings are fitting. And my feelings are profound sadness, heartache, and a sense of betrayal. Yet, what still remains is just the meager shred of strength fed by the faintest spark of love.

“Pit Babe” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)

Leave a comment

Alpha, Beta, and Omega are the three names represented in the ABO romance genre. Alpha’s being the dominant in relationships between men or women; while Betas are normally not as strong as Alphas, Omegas have lesser strength than them, with the unique ability to get pregnant whether male or female. This is the world that “Pit Babe the Series” takes place in. The drama series is one of the few I have seen that features an ABO format, but the aspects of the show that make sense because of it are so subtle it’s yet unclear if it’s truly necessary to include this trope.

“Cooking Crush” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Leave a comment

I have been watching BL series from the time OffGun were almost officially considered BL royalty. Times have changed, there are more and more ‘official’ ships, where actors promote as a ship and pair together for multiple projects. What was once a novelty is now increasingly common. Which is why, rather than the reliance on a pairing alone, there needs to be more focus on the show itself to keep viewers engaged.
