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.

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.

We had a relatively quieter week, with fewer announcements. This doesn’t happen often, maybe it could be attributed to the fact that the weekends have an assortment of intriguing dramas, playing catchup is getting difficult!
BL Week in Review
Eight series ended this week, and we only have one new series beginning next week. I think we are finally getting some breathing room for a minute.
I enjoyed “The Proper Way to Write Love”, “Memoir of Rati”, and “The Promise of the Soul” enough to recommend them here. Each series had a unique premise and was easy to follow. I believe “The Proper Way to Write Love” had the best execution, but “Memoir of Rati” certainly follows close behind. Anyway, they would make a fun binge session for a weekend where you just need to relax.
BL Week in Review
School wore me out this week, and consequently, I find myself here on Saturday evening, playing catch up. I looked at my social media and realized I hadn’t posted any reviews most of the week, which is unusual for me. Still, I’m glad I’m able to write this article each week and reflect upon all that happened, since there’s always quite a bit going on.
BL Week in Review
There are twenty-five series currently airing that are accessible to international viewers, plus a variety of reel series, and I have chosen to watch thirteen of them. I guess that’s what happens when the BL flood begins.
“My Sweet Brother-in-law” Series Review (Ep.1 to 5)
There is so much to unpack in this short series. It is a prodigious tale as well. Initially, the way it was presented felt as if it might be a light, even comedic tongue-in-cheek story. Full of fun. But true to the nature of Vietnamese BLs, it emerges into realness. The human drama becomes honest, sincere, and relatable especially because of what happens when we simply are unable to truly be ourselves. It is a story of gayness and the inability to be free and open about who you are and the person you love. The Vietnamese have mastered the perfection of being able to portray these emotions with such intensity.

BL Week in Review
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.
BL Week in Review
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.
BL Week in Review
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. 😘
