“A man and a woman can be friends; they don’t necessarily have to be queer for that”
“Seoul Blues” Series Review (Ep.1 to 8)
Frankly, I am astonished this series has gotten such poor to mediocre reviews. I loved it. I loved it for two reasons. First, it tells a full story, albeit short and sweet but to the point. Sure, its brevity is both a hinderance and an asset. I wish there would have been greater character development. Nonetheless, this mini-BL accomplished more in a short period of time than most droning on-and-on BLs characteristically do. It had a beginning, middle, and a fine end. Secondly, we saw flawed characters. These are not individuals who are straight from the trope play book. In some sense, they are not at all likeable individuals, yet they are so relatable to who we are as people. In other words, they aPpre untruthful, blemished, and maybe disingenuous. Traits, I am afraid, we all share at one time or another in our lives.

Alongside the glitzy affair that was GMMTV 2025 Lineup, we had some pretty big announcements from the Japanese & Korean BL industry that will blow your mind.

My Favorite Asian BLs So Far (2024)- Part III
My last tier of my favorite Asian BLs for this year is, of course equally eclectic as my first two lists were. Perhaps these, of all the series I have watched this year, are the ones that have left the greatest emotional impact on me. Equally important, they have also made me ruminative and reflective. Wondering and pondering most whether I would have taken the same actions or gone down the same path or felt the same way. Mostly, I saw something within me in each of the main protagonists. Some characteristic force, strength, flaw, weakness, emotion, or perhaps desire that helped me identify more with how they felt, who they were, and/or more importantly why they did what they did. I felt deeply engaged in what was happening and could feel their emotions with them:

“My Damn Business” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)
This short but unsullied movie, broken into 7 episodes, is surprisingly effective and very entertaining. While a few cringe worthy scenarios brought it down a few notches, there is one big framework that catapults it back up into the stratosphere, making it exceptionally rare for a KBL. This is an obviously low-budget production that has essentially two main characters and only a smattering of other characters. Thus, it is character driven.

My Favorite Asian BLs So Far (2024)- Part II
Admittedly, my second-tier favorite Asian BLs for this year (so far) is as equally eclectic as my first list was and is again not of a ‘mainstream’ conformity. It bears repeating that I am an individual who does not follow any set of established social norms in what I find to be favorites.
