Last week was a tad exhausting with copious amounts of exclusives from the Japanese industry. Thai counterpart didn’t want to be tethered either, so we were flanking news updates from close quarters.

If you thought the lineup galore from various Thai media giants is over, think again. It’s the end of the year and Thai production houses are strumming with excitement announcing new projects for the coming year. Fingers crossed, let them be good!
“Blue Canvas of Youthful Days” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)
Ah, shucks! This series started out so promising with fantastic characters. I was hooked and consumed by the story – initially. Who would not be? A rich kid trying to escape from his abusive father. A marginalized young man with ginormous artistic skills. An astonishingly handsome young man with a hearing loss trying to make it in a world cruel to him. And an art teacher operating an art school on a shoestring budget and who turns to alcohol to try to deal with an insane mother. Plus, a grandfather suffering from early stages of dementia. Wow! I am totally in.

My Favorite Asian BLs So Far (2024)
Admittedly, my favorite Asian BLs for this year (so far) is an eclectic mix and perhaps not of a ‘mainstream’ conformity. I am an individual who does not follow any set of rules in establishing what I find to be my favorite. Therefore, I tend to not like what most others find as fashionable or currently trending. I am also not an avid follower of any particular BL artist, although I do think some actors are better than others.
Heart Fluttering Bromances That Aired in 2024
Bromances probably came into existence and became popular because of China’s rigid censorship on queer representation.

This week was bonkers with a surreptitious downpour of exclusives and concerning news updates. We haven’t had a single moment to rest with the BL industry churning out more shows/dramas than we could catch up with. While the downpour doesn’t seem to cease for now, let’s catch up with upcoming Asian BLs/GLs on the block!
“The Spirealm” Series Review (Ep.1 to 78)
Yes, indeed I did watch this phenomenal series and, while not a gamer nor understanding much about the intricacies of this series, I treasured its theme and ambition. This series is breathtaking in its presentation, cinematography, storytelling, and acting. I was completely mesmerized and astonishingly could pretty much follow the gist of the story minus the minutiae and detailed storylines. Being a Westerner, I also got hopelessly entangled by the names and relationships of individuals. None of that mattered to me, however. My focus was on the two main protagonists and the heart of their story.
