“Takumi- Kun Series” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)

Confusion. I just did not get this series. Perhaps had I known this was composed of snippets of movies/series, I might have appreciated it more. I assumed it was a stand-alone series. Not having seen any of the previous references, I was at a loss as to the subtle references. Frankly, trying to make an anthology out of several movies/series is a fool’s errand and those of us trying to watch this are engaging in a fool’s task. Having said that, the account as presented does have some merit, and I found several subplots it was trying to emphasize, noteworthy. The rest of it merely became fluff and was perfunctory.

I have a good feeling about these two.

BL Week in Review

This week, I had to make some hard decisions. There are so many fun things airing on Fridays and Saturdays, but I’ve vowed that until my novel is done, I can only watch two series per day. Hard decisions were made. I am putting Goddess Bless You From Death and Interminable Thailand briefly on hold while That Summer and The Wicked Game finish. I decided not to watch the three toxic series that began on Saturday. They included: To My Shore, Tide of Love, and Gu Jin Nan Qiu.

BL Week in Review

This week, there were two lineup events. One was from WeTV Thailand, and one was from IQIYI Thailand.

One series I’m excited for is “Be My Player Two”. This was one of WeTV’s announcements. It is from studio Wabi Sabi and has Maxky Ratchata and Bas Hatsanet, who last played together in “Fourever You”. It is apparently a prequel to “A Boss and a Babe”. I like the esports theme, and the preview felt fresh. It’ll be fun.

“The Journey to Killing You” Series Review (Ep.3 to 6)

Love doesn’t choose an ideal place or time to happen. It comes out of nowhere, even amidst the most impossible of circumstances. And that’s exactly what happens in The Journey to Killing You, a Japanese BL adapted from Asai Sai’s manga Anata wo Korosu Tabi.
