“Shadow Part 1” First Impressions (Ep.1 to 7)

Leave a comment

Prachaya Ruangroj (Singto) stars as Dan, a young man who transfers to Saint Lawrence’s, to start a new life. Instead, the first thing that happens to him at the all-boys school is that he’s hazed by Nai (Natouch Siripongthon, Fluke) who thinks he’s using the new student to for free notes. Instead, Dan spends the entire lecture doodling. Despite the joke, and a short-lived annoyance the two become fast friends, which works out because Dan’s roommate Josh (Poon Mitpakdee), is Nai’s best friend.

On the 23rd of November 2023, Studio Wabi-Sabi held a press conference to announce their 2024 lineup. The event opened up with a special performance from Boun Noppanut who serenaded the audience as his fellow Wabi-Sabi actors walked the white runway. The crowd was also treated to special performances from Earth Katsamonnat covering Taylor Swift, Santa Pongsapak embodying Jeff Satur and the ever-lovely Samantha Coates wrapped up the intro with her rendition of Jessies J’s Masterpiece. The event was simple, yet promising. Studio Wabi Sabi has truly discovered what it means to deliver quality and not quantity. Six projects were presented, four of them with a Boys Love/Girls Element.

“I Feel You Linger in the Air” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)

1 Comment

I saw a comment on my first impressions of “I Feel You Linger in the Air”, pointing out that I had given it 5/5 stars, which was rare for The BL Xpress, and personally, quite rare for me too. I had been sure about it then, but I did start to think about whether I had been too optimistic. Was I getting caught up in my feelings and giving it too much credit, seeing the show through rose coloured glasses?

“Dangerous Romance” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

2 Comments

Yet again, another Thai BL that, one, doesn’t live up to its expectations, and two, does not live up to its title. This was a typical formulaic standard, trite, and tropey BL that I could have written even if I were in a coma. It is pretty much epigonic. Only the names were changed.

“Naughty Babe” Series Review (Ep.3 to 12)

Leave a comment

Yaoi is the name given to “Boy on Boy” romances with raunchy and comedy scenes that are too much for dramatic novels or manga to have without a censor. Recently, creators of Boys’ Love series all over the world have seen the importance of including Yaoi factors in their series. The reasons are to reach a larger audience through the new options these aspects create in their works. Taking facets of the genre and adding them to the BL has become the standard. Attractive fathers, zany and beautiful friends and their large, serious boyfriends (seme) are a few of these details you can find in “Naughty Babe”. Evil and equally attractive villains are there to keep the drama never too far from the viewer’s minds. All these ingredients together make “Naughty Babe” work as it includes every feature of the Yaoi genre’s most popular characteristic.

“My Dear Gangster Oppa” First Impressions (Ep.1 & 2)

Leave a comment

The unspoken world of bars, guns, knives and mysterious shy boys is the one that the new Boys’ Love drama “My Dear Gangster Oppa” consists of. Like “KinnPorsche”, the drama is as simple as a man taking stock of the different cuts and bruises running down his body; you could miss it at first. But instead the storyline focuses on a shy college student named Guy (Ping Krirttanun) in love with his best IRL friend Wahl (Winner Tanatat). Then there is the tall, attractive Tew(Meen Nichakoon), a bar owner with beautiful hosts and a man of few words. The dichotomy of the two characters & their lives shouldn’t work. With fully C.G.I. rendered game play of the massive online game they play along with their online friends, it’s clear the two storylines, the people and situations that populate them blend into each other and that is the world of “My Dear Gangster Oppa”. A unique take on the webtoon “My Ideal Relationship” by Ken.
