BL Week in Review
Of the thirty-four currently airing BL dramas, I am only watching thirteen. Even so, it feels like a lot to watch. Perhaps it’s because the buzz on social media keeps increasing. More and more people have something to say about these series, which is amazing but also time-consuming.

The announcements were pretty dim last week, so we just had two major exclusives making it to the headlines. So, it seems like we will be waiting a bit longer to check out the upcoming GMMTV Lineup!
“The Wicked Game” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 3)
Revenge. Betrayal. Greed. Passion. All of it collides in The Wicked Game, a Thai BL that wastes no time throwing viewers into its tangled web of family power struggles, danger, and undeniable attraction.

“Mission to the Moon” Series Review (Ep.1 to 30)
This was a hard series to dislike. Conversely, it was also a difficult series TO like as well. Overall, what brought this series down was its production value and the way it was presented. A comprehensive story cannot be told proficiently in 30 episodes of 8 minutes or so stretched over 3 months. No one’s attention span can last that long or retain details or nuances of a story in that sporadic of a time frame. Especially, this series as several episodes were tedious, repetitive, and lackluster. While the concept was great, it simply droned on too long with the same mundane storylines going nowhere which caused one to lose interest. What was entertaining was the fact that, at times, the main protagonists were quite good and surprisingly effective, given the fantasy nature of the story. Then unfortunately they too slipped into banality and repetitiveness.

BL Week in Review
The big news on the street this week in Thai BL was the drop of the teaser for “Knot”, which is the new project from MFlow Entertainment. It is an omegaverse series that will star Boat and Oat, who recently did “My Stubborn”. Honestly, I think they are perfectly suited for the kind of tension needed for an omegaverse, and I’m excited to see what they do with it.

Apart from some new releases last weekend, we had some early bird surprises from awaited series that fans are eagerly anticipating. Let’s take a dive into the latest exclusives that we have compiled for you!
“The Ex-Morning” Series Review (Ep.5 to 10)
I think “The Ex-Morning” should be considered one of the best series of 2025, which left a good impression on me. Krist and Singto’s characters in this series are perfectly imperfect, and that’s what makes it more wholesome or believable. The series is based on a “Second-Chance Romance” between Phi (Krist Perawat) and Tam (Singto Prachaya). The plot revolves around heartbreak, a random breakup, misunderstandings, and reconciliation, which was intriguing because it felt like a breath of fresh air in a sea of similarly scripted shows being produced.
