Christmas came early for me last week with the reveal of the 2026 and beyond lineup for GMMTV. They gave us thirty queer stories. Twenty-two were BL, eight were GL, and one was a stage musical. Having that many series revealed also came with a certain amount of controversy.

With the hype surrounding GMMTV’s 2026 Lineup slowly dying down, we still had lots of exclusives, dropping from all quarters. Some new, some anticipated. The BL/GL world is buzzing with excitement, and we are here to deliver the good news!
“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.

BL Week in Review
My favorite Thai company, GMMTV, announced two highly anticipated series that are going to premiere soon. “Burnout Syndrome” and “Melody of Secrets” have been on my must-watch list since I saw their mock trailers at previous lineup events, and I’m so curious to see how they play out. “Burnout Syndrome” starts on Wednesday, and “Melody of Secrets” begins on December 5. I have a good feeling about these two.

We had quite a few surprising announcements last week, with the most anticipated one making it to the frontline. Let’s cluster them together and check out the exclusives so far!
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.

Netflix dropped the first teaser for the most anticipated movie in 2025. This announcement was preceded & followed by numerous others. We are literally in BL heaven, which means GMMTV Lineup 2026 might be the next stop!
“Therapy Game” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Life has a funny way of bringing people together. Often, it’s the people we least expect who end up shifting our world the most, sometimes gently, sometimes chaotically.

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.

With two back to back lineup announcements last week, the exclusives from other quarters were pretty thinned out. But that doesn’t mean, we don’t have juicy updates to check!
