Wow! I just realized when I put the dates on this article that it’s been a hot second since I’ve written to all of you! I look forward to chatting with everyone on Tuesday about all the happenings in the world of BL.
Needless to say, New York was a wild, ten-day adventure full of ups and downs. Of course, I had to get sick toward the end of the trip, and I’ve been spending this time watching series and recovering.
This is a special week. I am including two extra days of reviews because on Tuesday, July 8, I am flying to New York to spend ten days. While I’m there, I will be attending “The Heart Killers” Fan Meeting and “Timeless Thai Taste” 2025. I will be doing a special article when I come back about those events, since I will not have watched many (if any) BL series while I’m there.
Things settled down a bit this week, but I still think there are too many series on Fridays to make watching everything the same day super enjoyable, so I think I’m going to have to drop some, and the first two that come to mind are “Pitbabe” and “Knock Out”. It’s not that they’re not well-done; they just bring me the least amount of joy. I may watch them on Wednesdays, when there’s not a lot airing.
Today was a week full of memorable moments. We had our first-ever Period BL from GMMTV. Memoir of Rati has the potential to be a gem of a series. China is slaying with Revenged Love, and social media is in an uproar. Can you believe we are getting twenty-four full-length episodes? I haven’t seen the original, but I’ve heard good things.
The level of spice this week was off the charts. The number of shows I had to pause and truly consider how to write my reaction was almost comical. Stand-out episodes include The Next Prince, The Bangkok Boy, and I Promise I Will Comeback. So, go forth and enjoy all of the fun scenes these actors gave us this week. 😘
As I sit and write this, I realize it’s finally summer vacation! My teaching job is officially completed until I go back in the fall. There are so many things I’m looking forward to doing, including writing more of my novel and starting a Patreon account. I’m so excited to have the opportunity to be a full-time content creator for the summer.
Tomorrow marks the first day of Pride Month, and as we head into another June, I realize how fortunate I am to have discovered this genre. It helped me figure out who I am, and I will be forever grateful.
This is a fiery week because I get to put two more highly recommended series on my BL Watchlist: “Top Form” and “My Golden Blood”.
“Top Form” held its final episode fan meeting on Sunday, and concurrently released its final episode on Tencent/WeTV under VIP only on the same day. What an exhilarating ride, everyone. Absolutely, check it out, but be prepared for tears.
There were twenty-four BL series that aired this last week, and consequently, there was no way for me to keep up on all of them. I had to pick and choose, and some of the ones that weren’t as captivating to me got dropped.
That being said, episode one of The Ex-Morning aired on Thursday, May 22. I may have gone a bit crazy and helped with the trend on X, but it’s KristSingto after all. And, in my humble opinion, they are still the kings. I may or may not watch it again tonight after I write this article.
I was lucky that this week I had a five-day holiday because there were five premieres. If I had to rank them by level of enjoyment, it would be as follows:
1) My Sweetheart Jom
2) Knock Out
3) Be Mine, Be Yours
4) Eye Contact
5) Loy Kaew First Love
I think the most exciting thing that happened for me this week was the release of the trailer for “The Ex-Morning”. It was like waking up on Christmas. I’m so excited to see Krist and Singto back on the screen again. I feel like the new trailer gave all kinds of tidbits that I’m curious to see play out. Will their on-screen chemistry be as hot as their stage chemistry?
