Finished in 2024
WARNING: may contain spoilers and personal opinions
-
1. Death Kaleidoscope
Chinese Drama - 2024, 78 episodes
#1 - The emotions in this series ... and when you think about it, this story is virtual, while I am at home, writing this at my desk, in the "real world" ... so, yeah, understanding reality, emotions, family ... I came here for the BL, but this is so much more than that
-
2. The Untamed Special Edition
Chinese Special - 2019, 20 episodes
#2 - #WangXian is awesome in all and any form
-
3. Jiao Cang
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
#3 - Absolutely amazing, from start to finish. I don't remember ever laughing so much, and still the story was not just funny. The way these characters were brought to life -- from the script, the directing, the acting, everything was on point. At times I wished some things were done differently, have there be less lies ... but I guess this is what also made it more realistic. Great job everybody here!
-
4. Love Sea
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
#4 - Khun Tongrak Mahasamut, whether you like/want it or not ... absolutely great performances from both #FortPeat
-
5. Di Jia Qian Jin
Chinese Drama - 2024, 40 episodes
#5 - Great story, amazing cast ... it feels real in a fake way, you know?
-
6. Dap Saengrawi
Thai Movie - 2023
the best thing about it was obviously ZNN ... and, yeah, I mean they made me watch some horror, so who would have thought
-
7. DMD Friendship the Reality
Thai TV Show - 2023, 6 episodes
I kinda feel sad for LatteFirstOne, but I absolutely get it ... anyway, absolutely beautiful both #KengNamping and #ThomasKong, cannot wait for the series announcement!!
-
8. Tiger Crane
Chinese Drama - 2023, 36 episodes
in a fantasy world, they managed to put so many real emotions ... still, what they did to our fantastic 4 in those 10 minutes in ep 35 was really cruel :(
-
9. Moonlight Chicken
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
cute story, maybe the whole uncle story could have been sped up a bit ... still GemFourth was sooooooo cute :) ... also Khao was absolutely amazing, even as a supporting role ... Mix looking at Earth in EP1 felt almost unreal, it makes me wish I could add a GIF here
-
10. Frumusețea Vine din Interior
Korean Drama - 2018, 16 episodes
definitely more interesting the first half, still very much enjoyable ... the only thing that really bugged me was that we didnt find out why she starting changing all of a sudden, but ok
-
11. Pit Babe
Thai Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
and it was NOT just because of the cars ... absolutely enjoyed #PoohPavel, hope there's more to come ;) - EDIT post 25/04: there will be!!!
-
12. Cherry Magic Thailand
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
soooooo cute #TayNew
-
13. Ni Ye You Jin Tian
Chinese Drama - 2024, 36 episodes
typical boss/employee and tbh i don't think that was a bad thing at all ... rather enjoyed it, also i really liked all the main characters ... cute story
-
14. The Lotus Casebook
Chinese Drama - 2023, 40 episodes
tbh up until the big reveal it was just "very good", afterwards it became amazing ... cheng yi, you got yourself a new fan ;)
-
15. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
finally my first #OffGun and probably one of the firsts for First, no Khao yet ... I really enjoyed the duality of Black and White and actually the whole story and the acting ... maybe a bit too preach-y, but then I know almost nothing about life in Thailand, so I'll take like a cultural difference
-
16. Unknown
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
generally not a fan of real life, but this story was fascinating from start to finish ... kudos to both MLs
-
17. Cooking Crush: Uncut Version
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
some good, old, sweet fluff ... sometimes this is just what you need
-
18. Boss Pian Pian Dong Le Xin
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
an interesting pause from more serious dramas ... not bad for a short length drama; also, wow, the height difference
-
19. 2 Worlds
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
this, this!!! the best #MaxNat really ... much more explicit than your normal drama, but enjoyable non the less ... hope they're happy in whatever world they landed EDIT: #1 world apparently
-
20. Secret Ingredient
Korean Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
the thing I liked most about it was the multi-lingual conversations - English, Korean, Tagalog ... it was beautiful seeing the actors/characters speak like that
-
21. Spaceless
Thai Movie - 2024
interesting story ... knew only Bible, but both MLs were good ... waiting for their next project
-
22. Never Let Me Go
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
baby #PondPhuwin here not bad, but also not that great - again, it's possibly writing because there doesnt seem to be genuine feeling, like Neung is just dying to have a boyfriend - Ben, Palm doesnt matter - and Palm is just doing his duty as was told by his father, always calling him Khun Neung. They do care about one another, but it doesnt feel like real LOVE, you know? At times it just feels convenient and they're there, so they might as well.
-
23. Dusk Love
Chinese Drama - 2024, 24 episodes
it's probably bias, but I like him better with Chen Fang Tong
-
24. Star and Sky: Star in My Mind | Sky in Your Heart
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
baby #JoongDunk -- that's the most interesting thing here ... also, the BTS from their first jub-jub, I guess ;)
-
25. She Dreams of Cinderella
Korean Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
so cringy that it was almost good LOL
-
26. Wandee Goodday Special
Thai Special - 2024, 1 episode
cute interviews and BTS from the series
-
27. Hidden Agenda
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
#JoongDunk, but more mature, I guess? I CANNOT wait for The Heart Killers ... EDIT post 20/11: it was all worth it ... thank you, P'Jojo, for taking them under your wing!
-
28. We Are
Thai Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
it's making me requestion NLMG because here something seems off with Phuwin's kissing -- they really have to thank that pool scene in ep 11 and the main OST ... also I enjoyed that there were so many couples and ofc the reference to WOH in ep16 (!?) ... I REALLY hope we get a #PondPhuwin series where Phuwin has (gets?) to fully eat Pond
-
29. Wandee Goodday
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
such cuties #GreatInn, really
-
30. The Romance of Tiger and Rose
Chinese Drama - 2020, 24 episodes
quite entertaining all around - the story and the main cast ... cute story
-
31. The Boyfriend
Japanese TV Show - 2024, 10 episodes
these people - their friendships, their politeness, their kindness - really made it worth watching ... also, #DaiShun endgame even after 9 months was the best cherry on top :)
-
32. Meet You at the Blossom
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Really cute story ... also, it was amazing to see a real BL (not a bromance) in Ancient China, speaking Mandarin
-
33. My Love Mix-Up!
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
It could have been better on all accounts -- not a good sign in my book that I enjoyed so much more the references to MSP than the actual story; and also has Gem taken kissing lessons from his twin, 'cause yeah, please don't ... at least I hope #GeminiFourth got paid a sh*t ton of money, given all the ads
-
34. This Love Doesn't Have Long Beans
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Very cute, both #SailubPon and #BenzGarfield, although I would definitely have liked to see more of the latter ... btw, where can I get me a friend like JJ? for real
-
35. Love Sea Special Episode
Thai Special - 2024, 1 episode
Ok, much more fluff than I expected, still beautiful ending for Tongrak & Mahasamut ... yeah, #FortPeat together are awesome
-
36. Between Us
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
The chemistry between #BounPrem is definitely chemistrying, especially considering that the director here was P'New and that Boun was Prem's first kiss (in UWMA) ... also their crying was really heart-felt, I guess they will give #FirstKhaotung a run for their money
-
37. A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes
OMG, sooo sweet #EarthMix - Mix definitely has this ability to look at something/someone/Earth (xD) and we the viewers just melt, it's amazing ... also, this was his first acting job!? wow ... and sweet little Khaotung, just chef's kiss really
-
38. Bad Buddy
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
The first jub-jub was really nice, but the rest was more realistic than a drama, which I am not that big of a fan of; this one really felt like an older BL, while A Tale of Thousand Stars didnt ... Also, why was Ohm losing his shirts constantly? I'm not complaning, but at times it felt unnecessary, especially considering that Nanon almost never did ... Anyway, cute story, I can see why it had so much hype, but it's not quite for me
-
39. Enchante
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Yeah, Theo definitely got on my nerves -- not a fan of his double standards (lie to others vs being lied to) and the possessiveness of his parents relationship in the end ... I took off 0.5 from my final rating just because of the last couple of eps ... the best thing was definitely Force, seeing him so bubbly and smiling and happy in the beginning (especially opposed to Gun in ABAAB or even Top in OF)
-
40. 4 Minutes
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Wow the story, the acting, the chemistry between actors -- really impressive ... Funnily enough - and I never thought I would say/write this - the thing I least liked were the NC scenes, especially TonKla's and no, not because of the actor's age; those scenes felt they could very well fit into a highly-sexual Western series, like Bridgerton (which I've watched), but honestly if I wanted to only/mostly see those kind of dramas, I would not be so into Asian dramas
-
41. The Trainee
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Was it cute? Sure. Was there enough OffGun? Hell no. Was it ... ? I don't know, something felt missing. Also, too much of the side characters and not enough of the mains here.
-
42. Si Cang Lang Man
Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes
Finally, another cute story with Miles Wei; also the FL was not bad at all ... the best thing was however the second couple, I rooted for them from the really early beginnings, soooo happy!
-
43. Battle of the Writers
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
To be honest, I trusted P'Kla more. Also, am I becoming a prude or are Thai BLs sexier and sexier?! Of course, not GMMTV which is STILL stuck in school/college, but literally everyone else (EDIT post THK: oops). I remember being a little bit angry watching Cutie Pie because #TutorYim were mostly just the comedic-relief couple. Also, in Middleman's Love it took till the last EP to have them become a real couple, with an NC scene - well, 2 of them - considering they were main leads. Here, I've lost count -- which I really dont want to complain about (they were mind-blowing), but I wouldnt have said no to one less NC scene in exchange for a better storytelling of the BL novel they were all writing. As always, script and editing are the weak links in Thai entertainment.
-
44. DMD Friendship the Reality: It Takes Two
Thai TV Show - 2024, 6 episodes
Yay, sooo many new ships, I love this ... the competition here felt less important than S1 and also, especially after the boys from the other generations joined, the search for a partner felt less important because they had their own; still very much enjoyable ... #NetJJ and #AuAuSave were my favourites (that scare Save gave all of us in the end, man!), #JimmyOhm and #LatteKim seem interesting, but tbh I dont know if I like Por for TeeTee
-
45. Peaceful Property
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
I started watching it because everyone was raving about ForceBook and they were right, EP7 was incredible ... but the whole story was so unexpected and funny and heartfelt. Family is indeed what you make or find, not what you're born into. And a home is the place for family.
-
46. Kidnap
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
So, the thing I liked best is the chemistry between Ohm and Leng - they fit together, at least on screen. Leng is still a rookie and it shows, but I think he will learn to do better. Also, isn't it kinda weird that the plot advertised and mentioned in the title got resolved by the 2nd or 3rd episode? It felt like very short drama followed by a 9/10 episode epilogue.
-
47. Black Lotus Tactics Manual
Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes
Cute story and of course I absolutely love both Ryan Ding and Esther Yu ... it was at least a little bit weird that here was no kiss, right? Like Legend of Anle, but still cute story, cute characters and EP1 was definitely hilarious. The end was not what I expected, but still quite engaging - I really liked Mu Sheng talking with the boys
-
48. Chun Ri Nong Qing
Chinese Drama - 2024, 18 episodes
Not bad, but nothing really notable here. Slightly better than the contemporary drama, but still not as good as with CFT - it's that intense chemistry that is such a surprise in a short length drama that its missing. Not to bring Thai CPs into anything, but maybe working with the same partner multiple times just works better? Who knows.
-
49. Our Skyy 2
Thai Drama - 2023, 16 episodes
So many little stories, it was definitely cute to watch, especially for A Tale of 1000 Stars that had less than 12 episodes.
