Remarkable. This was the first word that came to me in how to describe this distinctive series from Cambodia, a country ostensibly not known for its BLs. But this word seems woefully inadequate, I am afraid. Maybe words are unwarranted here; perhaps only feelings are fitting. And my feelings are profound sadness, heartache, and a sense of betrayal. Yet, what still remains is just the meager shred of strength fed by the faintest spark of love.

“Indigo Reimagined” Series Review (Ep.1 to 7)
I know my reviews of these floundering BL series perhaps are a bit too heartfelt, but I have great admiration for struggling productions which are making an effort to tell a story in its own way, no matter what the obstacles. So, therefore, I am willing and do indeed overlook many of the production flaws so that we can understand what motivates and drives these creations- a belief in themselves and an effort to tell a story with sincerity and commitment. Indeed, that is what this series is. It is a surprisingly intense BL series full of real people with genuine problems told perhaps a bit over dramatically. But as uncomfortable as the story is, there is nonetheless an underlying veracity to its message.

“Grand Guignol” Movie Review
Wow! What a ride this movie is! Be warned, however. This movie is a ‘hack-and-slash’ gory romp of blood and guts. So, if this is not your thing, I suggest you do not watch it. Even though I generally dislike these types of movies, I loved this one because it is so Avante-Garde. Despite what you might imagine, while it is a gay-themed movie, there is no romance here, however. Certainly not a BL by any stretch of the imagination. It is just sensual.
“For Him” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)
Him is not as I thought previously an object pronoun but the name of one of the main characters. Kuddos for Thai BL for always being so creative when it comes to character names.
“Pit Babe” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)
Alpha, Beta, and Omega are the three names represented in the ABO romance genre. Alpha’s being the dominant in relationships between men or women; while Betas are normally not as strong as Alphas, Omegas have lesser strength than them, with the unique ability to get pregnant whether male or female. This is the world that “Pit Babe the Series” takes place in. The drama series is one of the few I have seen that features an ABO format, but the aspects of the show that make sense because of it are so subtle it’s yet unclear if it’s truly necessary to include this trope.
