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.

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.

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).
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.
Him is not as I thought previously an object pronoun but the name of one of the main characters. Kuddos for Thai BL for always being so creative when it comes to character names.
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.
The much-awaited Thai adaptation of “Cherry Magic” is here, folks, and it’s off to a steady start.

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.

“Venus in the Sky” has been the talk of the town in the huge world of Thai BL series for the past few months due to its intriguing content. I went into this trip with high expectations because I’m a big admirer of Tod Pranapong, who’s returning to the world of BL dramas after the “What the Duck” era.
