BL Week in Review
Things settled down a bit this week, but I still think there are too many series on Fridays to make watching everything the same day super enjoyable, so I think I’m going to have to drop some, and the first two that come to mind are “Pitbabe” and “Knock Out”. It’s not that they’re not well-done; they just bring me the least amount of joy. I may watch them on Wednesdays, when there’s not a lot airing.

We had some solid reckoning in the first half of 2025 and the second half will probably live up to the expectations with umpteen amount of BL/GL dramas gearing for release. We are actually losing count of premieres happening, shows waiting to be released, it is chaotic to say the least!
BL/GL Pairings Who Have Starred in Umpteen Numbers of Shows & Are Still Going Strong- Part II
With Thailand enhancing their soft power via BL/GL world, the entertainment circle is abuzz with pairings that are strongly imprinting the said genre at a global level. With that being said, it also means that the industry is hugely dependent on socially confirming pairings that remain steadfast. Diverse companies invest in these pairings, promote their chemistry and launch new shows based on their popularity. Whether these ships are real or not, remains the question?

The second season of I Became the Main Role of a BL picks up exactly where the first left off. Only now, the stage is set, not for introductions, but for deeper entanglements.

“Depth of Field” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Life is like a photograph with a focal point and a blurred background. Sometimes we’re so focused on what’s happening to us, or within us, that we lose sight of what’s unfolding around us.

“Jian Hun” Series Review (Ep.1 to 25)
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.
Aichaku The Movie: An Affinity Towards Dreams And Love
Recently, a connection was made quite surreptitiously between The BL Xpress and Cowboys Tokyo, the producer of the recent gay independent film called AICHAKU. Aichaku, in Japanese means, literally ‘attachment’. Specifically, an attachment to an object that is more like a feeling of affinity – what the object means. It takes on an emotional attachment.

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.

On the top of this, Japanese BLs seem to be taking precedence again, we have some amazing works set to premiere soon.
