I can identify with JW
noble idiocy as idiocy

6. The Middleman's Love: Uncut
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
20. Januar
classic Parallel romance, pretty people, a bit goofy
a BL where Bed Friend wasnt
this would have been a strong contender for best Thai BL a few years back even without the frottage -
7. VIP Only
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
20. Januar
Nice title melody
sweet slightly melancholic with "blood sucking"-mother of the love interest in the second half where it loses a bit of focus and gets a bit loose
oh no its a love fated by an encounter in their youth -
8. Beside You
Thai Drama - 2024, 3 episodes
25. Januar
nice cat food ad
-
9. Love for Love's Sake
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
1. Februar
Visually a feast but the narrative is a bit abrupt for me (ie theres alot more foreshadowing in untranslated background text). Very much sweeping you up in the quest to make people happy
-
10. Sahara Sensei to Toki-kun
Japanese Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
2. Februar
not a fan of the romance teacher-student ,stepbrothers
Toki is such good character in this weird story
and ending with a kiss negates the whole see the world for yourself speech just before it did not commit one way or the other -
11. Happy Ending
Korean Drama - 2024, 3 episodes

solid short queer

-
16. Perfect Propose
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
2. März
It's about the hard work that is the way out of that whole without walls. 5. 23.02.24
-
17. Cherry Magic
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
3. März
A successfull adaptation that could even improve on the Japanese drama
-
18. Ossan's Love Returns
Japanese Drama - 2024, 9 episodes
7. März
Its well made but I cannot connect.
-
19. Light on Me
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
9. März
Effectively uses the competing lovers trope 8. 20.02.24
Surprisingly realistic depiction of high school as well as the things we do to ourselves to "protect" ourselves. This episode really sets this series apart and explains the review discrepancy 11. 05.03.24
Both love interests are well characterised and you can understand Taekyung choosing either one but the lighting annoys me -
20. Big Dragon
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
10. März
This could be a pretty nice series if the initial confrontation was less of a premeditated assault 3. 3.3.24
Hadnt they spend that much time on an ultimatively unexplored plot point they would have time for the conflicts that were just resolved by themselves also the montages why was so much time spend on montages -
21. Colorful Melody
Thai Drama - 2023, 4 episodes
14. März
oddly paced, ending involving a uneccessary prior meeting, melancholy pill, that looks better than it is
-
22. Sukiyanen Kedo Do Yaro ka
Japanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
15. März
Pacing and narrative focus could be better.
A 10 part story should not employ cliff hangers this much 9. 8.3.24
Enjoyable story, overstretched and unresolved -
23. A Breeze of Love
Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
24. März
Dongwook gets less likable by the episode. Lets see what can turn this around 4. 19.03.24
Whats with the focusing on the ears
This would have worked better as a story about why some relationships failthe narrative structure was not for me building up the miscommunication to thend only to have a typical romance last episode
It was not because of the well characterised "second lead" that I got second lead syndrome here
-
24. Rak Diao
Thai Drama - 2022, 15 episodes
24. März
A nice story of gay awakening packed into a sitcom
-
25. My Strawberry Film
Japanese Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
5. April
This is not a highschool series. I recognise Ryos experience 4. 8.3.24
It's not a BL but as a coming of age drama it manages to convey the feeling of life while still in high school very well it does not make the most thrilling viewing eyperience though 5. 15.03.24
The Gay bonding has moved this work into coming of age Lighting Ryo up with passing headlights for his almost confession chefs kiss 6. 22.03.24
Its a minimally invasive fix-it to highschool life having them commit all the casual cruelty but also ackowledging that immediately 7. 29.03.24I thouroughly enjoyed this depiction of the teenage experience
-
26. To My Star Season 2: Our Untold Stories
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
6. April
Pacing and side character characterisation was a little off.
-
27. Doctor Slump
Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
7. April
They really made an effort in balancing the emotions but the second couple gets too little screen time as usual 14. 07.04.24
-
28. To Be Continued
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
9. April
They clearly have two distinct perspectives on what happened in the past 2. 27.02.24
They fleshed out to perspectives and made them both equally responsible -
29. Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
10. April
As they are coming out at the same time the comparison to To Be Continued are obvious. This one is more mature and queerer closer to a realistic experience 2. 13.3.24
If the opposition of his family was the big impediment to their happiness it was solved wrong for me and if if wasnt the last episode was wasted.A disappointing ending to promising series

Fun comedy
-
32. I Will Knock You
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
13. April
Over the top comedy with a conventionally slightly disappointing ending. why must they feature real life compromises in the resoluion of this type of series
-
33. Jazz for Two
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
17. April
basic slightly problematic BL 4. 02.04,24
Way too rushed in the last two episodes four more episodes were needed to make the story progression in the last two plausible and even then .. -

HIgh communication trope subversion with commentary on star culture and queerness in the public eye.
-
36. My School President
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
20. April
Its wonderful. The twist was predictable but the face of disbelief and resignation was 1+ 6. 13.04.24
10 episodes of fun and games just to come to the very real emotional work and stress of coming out?! 12. 20.04.24 -
37. Gray Shelter
Korean Drama - 2024, 5 episodes
25. April
mmh It has wrong cadence very unnerving that would fit with the subject matter but lets wait and see 1. 11.04.24
They both have some serious work ahead of them 4. 18.04.24
Delivered as promised them recognising each others hurt and clashing with their coping mechanisms -
38. Deep Night
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
27. April
A horny drama with a worthwhile story ? 5. 05.04.24
-
39. Please Teach Me
Korean Drama - 2024, 64 episodes
29. April
They realised the episode arcs well but the short format is detrimental to a flow 14. 24.04.24
I dont like the we solve corruption with nepotism resolution -
40. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
29. April
the character exposition for jim 1. 04.02.24

A nearly perfect story -
41. 1000 Years Old
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
1. Mai
Youthful they both seem very young 1. 14.02.2024
Its delightfully stupid 2. 21.02.2024
Love the colours and their meanings what do green and yellow mean though? 10. 17.04.24
True to its free flowing style a lot was left in the air but it was fun to follow along -
42. Seven Days: Monday - Thursday
Japanese Movie - 2015
3. Mai
Ice and Fire

43. Seven Days: Friday - Sunday
Japanese Movie - 2015

An improvement on the first one. It really needed them to completely misunderstand each other.
-
44. Unknown
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
4. Mai
Near perfect series the preview for the next episode makes me a bit weary 8. 06.04.24
A fitting retarding episode 9. 13.04.24
All the things happening in Episode 12 were necessary to wrap and resolve this plot. I just wish they would have given themselves more time for that. There were a lot of interesting points I wish they dwelled on longer. Maybe by cutting the health and the return of Le to the gang -

47. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha
Korean Drama - 2021, 16 episodes
5. Mai
Why did they have to pack one episode with all this heavy stuff?! 15. 05.05.24
Overall this was very good and enjoyed it, but some story lines where oddly timed -
48. Love Is Like a Cat
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

Romance stayed away from this Dog Cafe just like any sensible cat would.
-

51. Silent
Japanese Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
10. Mai
The music and audio design is compelling. I do love the Minato character he thought through and consistent. 5. 01.05.24
It's so heartbreaking. There is this whole cast of people I want to be happy and the series has a lot of work to do to achieve that. 6.04.05.24
Why belabour the point that Nana is only teaching people sign language out of romantic interest and as a persobal gift. In a show about hearing and deaf getting together this exclusionary attitude feels weird as the representative attitude of the life long deaf character. 8. 09.05.24 -

Someone in the production for this series of drama specials has a thing for uneven teeth 1. 11.05.24
It works better as a second season -
55. Memory in the Letter
Thai Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
11. Mai
Predictable progression so far. But in what world is Kyo 45-47 5. 04.05.24
Making handwaving gestures at solving the issues while trying to obfuscate them with the casting choice really leaves me with a bad taste -
56. Blue Boys
Korean Drama - 2024, 4 episodes
12. Mai
two people navigating their homosexual awakening with the internalised homophobia 2. 25.04.24
This works as an ending even though i am hoping for an happy ending 4. 12.05.24 -

Cute show about finding how you love someone -
61. Blossom Campus
Korean Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
18. Mai
Strongberry has taken commerciality = low quality too literally Sound lighting storytelling 1. 17.05.24
Blossom Campus is a badly lit well shot badly sound designed trope collection.
All scenes that feature the delevopment that is referenced or implied seem to have been cut at some point. -

Korean Drama - 2024, 16 episodes

I ve been a Count of Monte Cristo fan since I saw the my first adaptation at age 6 or 7 but usually my taste is to simplistic to appreciate well made Grand Revenge schemes. I liked this.

A colourful mystery coming of age drama ? 2. 30.04.24
A colourful mystery coming of age drama with nice music -
65. Destiny Seeker
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
24. Mai
The Thai ensemble school BL adapted for the year 2023. And a bout of fever amnesia about big problem we had ? Love it 6.21.05.24
The weakest episode yet they really wanted this fall out and then getting together put didnt give it any of the components time for an impact. 7. 21.05.24
This is the most in your face colour coded pair I love it would not be surpirised if they were literally nicknamed blue and red 8. 22.05.24 -
