“Last Twilight” is a heartfelt romance between Mhok (Jimmy Jitaraphol) and Day (Sea Tawinan) who meet because Mhok lands a position as Day’s caretaker, as Day is going blind due to infectious keratitis. The two take each other on a journey of overcoming adversity, acceptance and personal growth. Throughout the series, Day has to come to terms with his eyesight getting worse and worse, but also getting over this and moving on with his life, forgiving his family, maturing in his worldview and starting a career for himself.

“TORE” Series Review (Ep.1 to 6)
Frankly, this is a series that truly spirals into madness about a person who is nearly insentient. Functional, yet lost and absorbed in his own world. His father, Bosse (Peter Haber) is finally going to do something regarding his deadpan son who refuses to live. Tore (William Spetz) exists with his father and works in his father’s funeral business as a mortuary assistant. Suddenly, Tore is given a notice to vacate the house. His dad finally wants Tore to start to experience living his life on his own. Tore’s best and only friend, Linn (Sanna Sundqvist) who literally is part of the family as well, tries to get Tore to see this is for his own good. Feeling and experiencing the world for himself and being on his own will be good for him. She also knows that Tore is gay and needs to explore his sexuality. It does not take long for Tore to also figure out that his father has gotten a girlfriend, and it now seems obvious that he wants him out of the house, so they can live together.
“Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)
“Cherry Magic! Thirty Years of Virginity Can Make You a Wizard?!” anime is based on a manga of the same name and is hands down one of the cutest and most adorable love stories out there. Most of the viewers will be familiar with the plot as live- drama of the manga has already been released in 2020. “Cherry Magic” is this heart-warming love story between Adachi and his colleague Kurosawa. According to urban-tales, people who remain virgin even after the age of 30, become wizards. The same happens to Adachi, who has remained a virgin at 30, thereby he gains the magical power to read people’s mind if he touches them or if they touch him. Confused, Adachi is still adapting to this magical ability when he comes across his office colleague, Kurosawa one day in the lift and accidently reads his mind, gaining the information that Kurosawa had a crush on him.

THE BEAUTY AND THE BRAWN IN BAGAN THE BEGINNING
In Part One, the interview with the impresario of BAGAN THE BEGINNING, we connected with the breath of the series. Now we have a chance to discern the beauty and identify the brawn of the characters in the story because we sometimes forget that who carries out these fantasy aspirations are real live human beings who bring themselves into their depictions. Sometimes it is only a little or even just peripherally, while at other times it is substantial. In the case of these three young men, they brought more than most of us realized. For them, it became a labor of love. And a commitment to showcase a culture still steep in tradition and custom yet harnessing the winds of change as it gently breezes through its society, softly, imperceptivity bringing change. Each of them imparted a uniqueness to BAGAN THE BEGINNING that became more than their stunning good looks, which of course they are undeniably blessed with.
