I accept, when I watched the first episode- I didn’t understand a word of what was going on in this show!

“Love in the Moonlight” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
The human heart is much like a locked vault. The only person who truly has access is the person holding the key.
That’s what the Thai BL Love in the Moonlight feels like from the very first moment: keys and locks, duty and desire, masks and truths. Set in 1963, after political shifts in Sariangkham, Prince Saenkaew (Peak Peemapol Panichtamrong) is sent to Bangkok under the weight of an arranged marriage. His bride-to-be, Pinanong (Perth Veerinsara Tangkitsuvanich), has adored him since childhood, seeing in him not just a prince, but the man she has always wanted. For her, the match feels like a dream. For him, it’s another link in the chain of expectation, duty, and guilt that has followed him since birth.

“Reset” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)
I am sure that I shall have my official passport granting me entry into the BL world revoked for this review, as I know this series is universally praised as exceptional. However, I honestly was not enamored with this series. I have a difficult time with movies and series trying to make gay life ‘perfect’. This even went beyond that. It gave an individual an opportunity for a second chance to relive his life. A do-over. What the series called a reset. But frankly, I was unsure why he deserved a do-over nor did I think he deserved one. It was simply baffling. He reached a pinnacle in this life for which most of us will never accomplish or attain or even dare to dream about. He found out that individuals around him were nefarious and murderous. Too late. My cynical and questioning mind then asked: So what and why him? What was so special about Armin?
“Knock Out” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)
Life is one big boxing ring. Every day, we step inside it, preparing ourselves for what the day may bring. Sometimes, we lose the fight. Sometimes, we win it. But every hit leaves its mark.

“I’m the Most Beautiful Count” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Sometimes the past has a way of calling us, loudly, unexpectedly, and with just enough chaos to turn life upside down. In the Thai BL drama I’m the Most Beautiful Count, that call comes in the form of time travel, palace intrigue, and a healthy dose of romantic confusion.
