Rich or poor, good or bad, all lives lived have something people struggle with. It’s easy to relate to those who fight each day to survive, but money doesn’t decide how much a life is worth or how much a person can love. That’s the fascinating contrast at the heart of Me and Who, a new Thai BL adapted from the web novel by wickedwish_.

BL Week in Review
This week, so many series began and ended that it almost gave me whiplash. Still, there were some highlights.
“Chosen Home” is a queer drama from Japan that made me smile through the entire episode. I wouldn’t call it BL. Still, it had a strong found-family element that I adored.

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.

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.
