“Reloved” Series Review (Ep.1 to 10)

Leave a comment

Sometimes story ideas come along that are so dumb and so mind-numbingly bad, you wonder how you sat through it without completely losing your own sense of reality. Honestly, this is one of the dumbest ideas for a plot I have seen and even adding adorably cute kids to the mix could not salvage this mess. You know you are also in trouble when throughout the series, flashbacks while the protagonists were in college 5 years previously looking the same as they do now. When a series that relies so heavily on days-gone-by without considering that they might have changed in 5 years, you know you have a weak story, and this is one of the most mediocre BLs I have ever seen.

Historical Styled BLs With An Edge

2 Comments

Historical dramas have a charm of their own. Most of them are relegated to the timeline between the 1930s & 1960s, when western culture was slowly being adopted into the Asian subcontinent. These dramas feature settings that have traditional styles but modern vibes; costumes that betray the local culture whilst the citizens are adapting to a western mindset. Despite that, homophobia was still rampant and that remains at the forefront in most BL- themed shows.

“Interminable” Series Review (Ep.1 to 12)

Leave a comment

This series impressed me with its insightful portrayal of gay love. By far, it is one of the best Thai BLs to have been produced in a very, very long time, with one of the best acted as well. And I do not say that for mere puffery. I was completely and totally absorbed by this astonishing historical/fantasy series. This is a drama best experienced by thinking of it as a theater-in-the-round play, rather than a lakorn. Its nuances and chains of events have to be focused on in general, otherwise one could get lost in its details. Perhaps that is its lack, although I found its cinematography uniquely inspiring. It requires a certain embracement of concepts, at least for Westerners, that are esoteric in nature. One must be absorbed by the story itself to appreciate its evolutions.
