“Love Syndrome 3” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

“When you love something there is passion and hardship” seems to be the theme for 2023’s adaptation of the third novel in the “Love Syndrome” series. “Love Syndrome 3” tells the complicated story of Itt (Frank Thanatsaran) and Day (Lee Long Shi). Their relationship is one of dominance and submission before a tragic accident that almost costs Day his life. I don’t mean the BDSM version of dominance/submission. But one where Day controls Itt’s actions through reward and punishment. The reward being a whole piece of cake, the punishment being physical/emotional abuse. If any of this is triggering to you, stop now.

“Coffee Shop” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)

This short series revolves around the coffee barista Boy (Boy Nattapon) from Ghost Host, Ghost House, who will tell your future from the cup you choose. We also get to meet Boy’s ex Tod (Tod Techit) from Ghost Host, Ghost House, and Love Area 2. Each story is unique and very sweet. The camera frequently zooms in on the glass that is chosen, then Boy touches the glass, the resonating smile on his face is an indication that he has seen the future prospects of the person concerned. Boy then explains what he sees and you get to watch if it is true or not.

“Hit Bite Love” Series Review (Ep.3 to 6)

The first season of “Hit Bite Love The Series” seemed like a surprisingly fresh BL series. With the lack of the now aged format of Engineering and Medical students in favor of using High School teenagers, the show seemed to have an innovative edge. It was an interesting experience, to say the least. I myself found myself enraptured with the characters.

“Bed Friend The Series” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

While delving into the Boys’ Love universe, many will understand that most dramas are inspired by Yaoi manga or light novels that exist online. The tall dark-haired man, the lily white skinned auburn-haired, feminine man who often submits to the whims of the dark haired man like a wife- troupe or classic style of storytelling. This is entirely the characteristics that most viewers experience from the onset of the series. I haven’t read the novel by “Littlebbear96”. So, I do not know if the vision was from Yaoi, but the live action version is definitely a living, breathing Yaoi and I adore the boldness of the vision with which Cheewin Thanamin directs this show. After last year’s “LoveStage”(not the same director), I was hugely wary of live action Yaoi’s. Mainly because in the past, actors didn’t seem like they wanted to commit to the roles they play; or the script changes the key aspects relative to the characters. It created a disconnect for me as a viewer and made me feel like I wasted my time.

“Chains of Heart” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

When I first saw the trailer for Chains of Heart, I was instantly intrigued. Hot men, action, a masked crusader on the side of good or evil? But what struck me the most was watching the customary Thai funeral of a man I didn’t know, but I could feel that his death will have a profound effect on the main characters and the storyline. The fact it felt like a spiritual successor to “KinnPorsche” was undeniable. As a fan of the darker BLs and Yaoi, my gay heart did a backflip ending in a split at what I was seeing.

“My School President” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)

On 24 February, fans of the hit GMMTV series My School President said goodbye to TinnGun, ThiewProm, SoundWin, and a plethora of incredibly memorable characters who, over the last twelve weeks, have made us laugh, cry, and even shout out at our television screens. In my humble opinion, this series was the best of everything GMMTV has ever produced. From the chemistry of the leads to the catchiness of the series soundtrack, it’s easy to see how My School President became the talk of the industry, setting up Gemini and Fourth to take the crown as the heirs to the throne of the BL industry.

Pond Naravit and Phuwin Tangsakyue are the GMMTV power ship that took the world by storm in the 2021 meta-dramedy Fish Upon The Sky. Pond is stoic and statuesque, while Phuwin is innocently beautiful. So, naturally, when their follow-up series was announced, everyone was excited.

“Moonlight Chicken” Series Review (Ep.3 to 8)

There is probably a universe in which Moonlight Chicken was the series it promised to be: a series about a chicken rice restaurant owner who has a chance meeting with a mystifying young man who changes his life, a series about complicated love relationships and infidelity, juxtaposed with messy family dynamics and the purity of young love.
