I downright fall under the spell of certain themes in either movies or series. This series had two of my favorites. Time travel and swashbuckling epic times full of exotic and romantic lore, legends, and traditions. And especially given my naïve Western upbringing, I am heart and soul smitten by Chinese fable and mythology. This series transported me back into time, like with the character, where I too could imagine myself beside them. Perhaps I have always secretly harbored a desire to be a valiant hero from another culture in the past.

BL Week in Review
Today was a week full of memorable moments. We had our first-ever Period BL from GMMTV. Memoir of Rati has the potential to be a gem of a series. China is slaying with Revenged Love, and social media is in an uproar. Can you believe we are getting twenty-four full-length episodes? I haven’t seen the original, but I’ve heard good things.
“Infidelity: It’s A Disease” Series Review (Ep.1 to 4)
Colorful, creative, and comical. This is the best way to describe this short BL series from China. It most assuredly will make you smile. This is a series that feels ordinary in the sense that I can see this happening in real life as the story does have an air of plausibility about it.

BL Week in Review
Tomorrow marks the first day of Pride Month, and as we head into another June, I realize how fortunate I am to have discovered this genre. It helped me figure out who I am, and I will be forever grateful.
This is a fiery week because I get to put two more highly recommended series on my BL Watchlist: “Top Form” and “My Golden Blood”.
“Top Form” held its final episode fan meeting on Sunday, and concurrently released its final episode on Tencent/WeTV under VIP only on the same day. What an exhilarating ride, everyone. Absolutely, check it out, but be prepared for tears.

BL Week in Review
There were twenty-four BL series that aired this last week, and consequently, there was no way for me to keep up on all of them. I had to pick and choose, and some of the ones that weren’t as captivating to me got dropped.
That being said, episode one of The Ex-Morning aired on Thursday, May 22. I may have gone a bit crazy and helped with the trend on X, but it’s KristSingto after all. And, in my humble opinion, they are still the kings. I may or may not watch it again tonight after I write this article.
