The Boys’ Love & Girls’ Love industry are fast growing into economic phenomena, considering their reach and global outburst. The only difference between the rest of the Asian subcontinent and Thailand, is the recurring concept of BL/GL pairings. While the rest of the countries don’t focus on continuing the same pairings, Thailand’s soft power is quickly becoming taciturn because of their investments in long-standing couplings. We are here to take a glimpse at some of the most important couples in the Thai industry!

“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 It has also been a long time since I have been able to use the outdated term ‘it factor’ but he has it.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.

Fresh BL/GL Pairings That Are Slowly Making Their Mark- Edition I
While fan service is an integral part of the Thai BL industry, there are very few BL pairings that live upto the expectations of the avid fans. It could be attributed to the off-the-charts chemistry between them, the camaraderie they share off-screen and the stories they choose. Today, we are talking about few such onscreen BL couples that are on the rise & slowly making their mark!

“Sky In Your Heart” Series Review (Ep.4 to 8)
The first three episodes of Sky in Your Heart play like a disjointed series of random moments as we watch Doctor Fah infatuated with the grumpy volunteer teacher Prince. Much like The Shipper, another GMMTV series, it gives us as much drama as comedy. Serious issues such as contracting malaria or food poisoning happen while we also follow an adult woman acting like a teenager as she runs away from an arranged marriage to a man she has never met.

Favorite BL Ships- Part III
