“Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

After The drama of The Heart Killers (เขาจ้างให้ผมจีบนักฆ่า) and the supernatural sex appeal of My Golden Blood (เลือดนายลมหายใจฉัน) I am glad to see GMMTV returning to their lighthearted roots with their newest series Sweet Tooth, Good Dentist. The Series stars Mark Pakin (ภาคิน คุณาอนุวิทย์) and Ohm Thipakorn (ฐิภากร ฐิตะฐาน) and is absolutely adorable.

“Ossan’s Love Thailand” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

The saying that ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’ is not always true. This series proved that. I shall come right out and say it. This is one of the worst BLs I have ever seen and one of the worst supposed remakes I have ever seen as well. To put it bluntly, this version was fatuous. Everything about it is. The production. The acting. The story. The plot. Hardly any of it even resembles the originality of the Japanese version. That had humanity. It had heart. Most importantly, it had authenticity sprinkled with humor, grace, and tons of human emotions. I can categorically tell you that the original Japanese version of Ossan’s Love was a masterpiece. This is simply a farce. Before you start clutching your pearls and calling me names, let me explain my reasons.

“Mate The Series” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

Summary: I am Kenlong, a woman born with beauty, wealth, and a big brain. Everything about me has to be perfect, especially my someone special. Nothing ever shook me, until I met my childhood friend, an innocent childish girl like Oengoei who gave me lice when we were young. Why do I surrender to a girl like that? It could be those sweet eyes that distracted me. I was upset that I felt sensitive toward my close friend, and she is a girl!

“The Heart Killers” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

It is exceptionally rare for me to begin a review with who I think literally steals this series from everyone. There is only one reason to watch this series. And that is because this story has Style. Style gave this series distinction. He IS the series and the only reason I finished this rather mundane and pedestrian story. Dunk Natachai as the character of Style brought such uniqueness to his persona from the beginning. Layered with arrogance, shallowness, pomposity and yet underlying it all was still a sense of sincerity. I could observe that he began his pursuit of Fadel (Joong Archen) simply as a challenge in the beginning. But once he undertook to know who Fadel was, he fell for him, hard and began to peel away at his exterior gruff layers, much like you peel an onion. As he did so with Fadel, he also peeled away at his own layers of shallowness surrounding himself. As he got Fadel to open his soul to him, he too did the same. With Dunk’s characterization however, I could sense and feel it deeply. His facial features and the way he looked at Fadel were not just about acting. It felt real. And oh, his love scenes with Fadel were not just fervently romantic; they were simply hot, erotic, and alluring. It has been ages, especially for a Thail BL, for me to actually feel a sensuousness emanating from an individual. He exuded it. Not only in words but in his expressions and his actions. It has also been a long time since I have been able to use the outdated term ‘it factor’ but he has it. He is the whole package. I never once felt as if he was faking it or ‘acting’ it out. He was genuine, sincere, even when he was being perhaps impish and immature in his approach to winning Fadel over. Deep-down, he projected such passion and intensity that he is the only Thai BL actor in an inordinate length of time that felt authentic. When he kissed, it looked sensual, seductive, and steamy. Excuse my vernacular, but his actions were hedonic, and his scenes made him tantalizingly erotic. Not afraid or ashamed to show it or be it. Something that has been missing in Thai BLs. He is an exceptional actor as he made it look so nature and unguarded. What a performance and kudos for making it feel so damn genuine.
