“The Wicked Game” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)

“Mission to the Moon” Series Review (Ep.1 to 30)
This was a hard series to dislike. Conversely, it was also a difficult series TO like as well. Overall, what brought this series down was its production value and the way it was presented. A comprehensive story cannot be told proficiently in 30 episodes of 8 minutes or so stretched over 3 months. No one’s attention span can last that long or retain details or nuances of a story in that sporadic of a time frame. Especially, this series as several episodes were tedious, repetitive, and lackluster. While the concept was great, it simply droned on too long with the same mundane storylines going nowhere which caused one to lose interest. What was entertaining was the fact that, at times, the main protagonists were quite good and surprisingly effective, given the fantasy nature of the story. Then unfortunately they too slipped into banality and repetitiveness.

“The Ex-Morning” Series Review (Ep.5 to 10)
I think “The Ex-Morning” should be considered one of the best series of 2025, which left a good impression on me. Krist and Singto’s characters in this series are perfectly imperfect, and that’s what makes it more wholesome or believable. The series is based on a “Second-Chance Romance” between Phi (Krist Perawat) and Tam (Singto Prachaya). The plot revolves around heartbreak, a random breakup, misunderstandings, and reconciliation, which was intriguing because it felt like a breath of fresh air in a sea of similarly scripted shows being produced.

“Dating Game” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
I loved this series! It has charm, wit, sweetness in all the right spots, and a bunch of endearing human warmth. While not overly saccharine, it is also not traumatizing. Curiously pensive and reflective, it has all the elements of a most believable love story told in soft, subtle gentle tones that simply make you feel good all over. There are two love stories, actually. Both are surprisingly compelling. While the various protagonists are interconnected, their individual love stories take very different paths to fruition. Both end up being (well, more-or-less) plausible and credible sequences.
“That Summer” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
We’re all fighting to come to terms with something, whether it’s life changes, taking the next step in a relationship, or responsibilities we’re not sure we want. And that’s precisely the kind of turmoil the Thai BL That Summer throws its viewers into.
“My Magic Prophecy” Series Review (Ep 4 to 10)
Love has an odd way of pairing hearts and making it work, even when it first seems like it won’t. This is precisely one of the concepts behind the Thai BL My Magic Prophecy.

“Shine” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
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.
