Comedy BLs are rare gems that are hard to find. To get the comic timing right is a skill that many actors can’t accomplish. So, this genre is barely surviving in the BL industry. But that doesn’t mean, we don’t have good shows that are lighthearted & have an irresistible comedic flair!

“Love Begins in the World of If” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Love Begins in the World of If drew me in from the first scene and carried me into a suspended, almost enchanted world where every detail feels attuned to the heart. Adapted from Sachi Umino’s novel – a writer with a rare gift for portraying love that feels vivid, grounded, and emotionally sincere – this Japanese BL drama offers a breath of fresh air to anyone seeking stories that move past the surface.

“Thundercloud Rainstorm” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
Power. Obsession. Possession. Need. Jealousy. Emotions we’re taught to fear, avoid, or rise above, and yet they’re also the ones that reveal how fiercely we long to hold onto the people who matter. And in Thundercloud Rainstorm, those emotions don’t hide in the shadows, they take center stage.

“Heated Rivalry” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
From the high expectations and relentless dedication it takes to survive a high-impact, often violent sport, to the unexpected and volatile pull between two rising hockey stars, Heated Rivalry uses both to hook its viewers into a slow-burn, steamy push-and-pull between two men with similar dreams and wildly different lives.

“That Summer” Series Review (Ep.3 to 10)
Love writes its own story. No one journey looks the same, yet every heart chases some version of a happily ever after, whether it lasts a lifetime or becomes a memory we carry with us. That Summer leans heavily into this theme, weaving together several lives whose paths cross on an island shaped by grief, healing, and the unexpected ways love finds us.
“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.

GMMTV 2026 Magic Vibes Maximized- PART II
GMMTV’s attempts to quantify their queer production is indeed praiseworthy. But can quantification guarantee quality as well? With 32 dramas up for production next year and quite a few from the 2025 Lineup, time management will be a big problem. Also, they have been recruiting new talents big time, but can they successfully manage these many artists and create new content for all of them? That remains to be seen!
