I'll be honest, I found this BL out of nowhere when it was on its second episode. Needless to say is that I thought it was really cute, until some more episodes in. I was into BohnDuen but y'all it really got annoying. At some point, I wanted to skip their scenes because they didn't bring anything new to the table. I get it sometimes playfulness and jealousy are always present in any series but it was too much. Bohn was always jealous and acted as if he was the only one in n a relationship while Duen was wayyy to out of it. They had chemistry but it all went to waste. I fell in love with TharaFrong and KingRam, but the writers and director didn't know where to take it. At some point, it felt as if I was watching the same episode over and over again. I skipped every single scene with BossMek, it really wasn't that cute, lack of chemistry, and lazy writing. I really hope they decide to make a spinoff with TharaFrong and KingRam, they stole the show, as of the rest, I think if they get to be in a sequel they should be written better.

The biggest surprise ever.

As surprising as it is, I was not impressed by the trailer of this bl, nor did I ever thought of watching it. I saw the other series that Kao was in and that left a bad taste in my mouth, I hated it. But I thought, "who am I not to watch the first ep??? For the gays, let's do it". And God did I love it. The writing though, it's just amazing, whoever wrote the series, y'all did that. I am in love with the transparency. Finally, a bl that says "I AM GAY", "I DONT LIKE GIRLS", "YOU SHOULD ASK FOR THIS INSTEAD OF JUST DOING IT", and so on... It's just magnificent, chef kisses, for a gay man to watch this... Y'all did it yes. There's no awkward representation, there are no stereotypes, I mean, maybe some times, but nothing overwhelming. There's only one character that was not even in the series, and the sides characters didn't get the proper treatment, but I am not mad about it. Ugh whoever wrote this, yes you did that. The family issues, well addressed, the consent always WELL FUCKING ADDRESSED YES. Nubsib deceiving Gene, WELL ADDRESSED, YES. Even the sexy moments, those were well written, although, i felt like I had no right to be watching, that's when you know there's chemistry and good writing.
Alongside "Manner of Death", this bl didn't get me dizzy. Finally, a proper conversation without switching shots, we love to see it. Up was game on this, he is a good actor and because of the direction, you can see how good he is. Kao too, I think this is an improvement for him. There are not shots that you feel like "why is he showing me that door, I want to see the facial expressions", there's just one ep. That I felt like some shots were out of place. Long shots properly used and overall great.... Rest of my review on my tumblr. myshyyangel

What a ride!

Overall: Bad Buddy is one of the best bls of 2021 and just in general. Breaking the stereotypes of bls, the monotonous story, the homophobic parents, the lack of chemistry and the lack of healthy relationships. 'Bad Buddy' did what a lot series wished they have done, from being the most talked about bl with over 1 million mentions on Twitter every Friday, to make me cry on ep. 11. that's legendary (lol). 'Bad Buddy' will go down in history as one of the standards, when you watch a new bl, you would think about 'Bad Buddy' before, and now you'll measure the writing to that of BB. I know that for sure, I say this because after 'Lovely Writer' I couldn't stop comparing every bl I watched so. Anyways, enough talking. 'Bad Buddy' is excellent, unforgettable and overall one of the best bls writing in history. PERIODT!

Grade: 10. This is a great story!

"The (un) Tasty Runtime"

So the tasty Florida was a nice little BL. I don't have much to say because... There wasn't much. Hence the title.I have some criticism tho. But let's start with the good which is the acting and the visuals. Loved it, chef kisses. The visuals were amazing and the acting was not bad, it could have been better but hey, this is their first series so that's a good sign. Korean series are always so striking visually and this was no exception.Now, the bad. The runtime. You guys, I need y'all to give BLs more time, please. The series was so short that the issues were resolved in a matter of two seconds.
Production companies need to give Koreans bls more time, and this is essential for bl stories to grow and have a bigger audience in Korea. It is a fact, think about, if you only have 10 min - 12 min and only 8-10 eps, the development of the overall series is 0-5 (I guess lol), meaning, us (the audience) won't care for whatever you are giving us, therefore, we won't support the bl. Believe me, I have stopped watching some BLs because they lack that development. so please, thank you.

DISCLAIMER: AFTER RE-WATCHING, MY OPINION HAS CHANGED ON THIS BL. I AM SO SORRY

Acting? ON POINT. STORY? OMG Y'ALL

So this bl is the most beautiful and well written and WELL ACTED BL I'VE EVER SEEN. I don't care about scenes in specific (if you watched the end you know what im talking about). The actors were perfectly casted, and the script was sooo good. I hope we get another season just to show the struggles that would come along after the first season. What is also surprising to me is how well developed the characters are in such a little amount of time. What's more surprising is how some bls can't do the same thing which said 45 minutes slot. Anyways, i hope We get to see more of the actors. Great work from everyone.
Im emotional omg

Star in my Mess

I thought I had a lot to say about this show but I didn´t, it was too short for me to scatter in my brain for every single detail. This show started out well enough, but the star did not make it to its first year of being alive, honestly, this was a black hole. The fact that I was excited for this show, so much. I am disappointed at many things, the direction it took was way off of what I was expecting, and honestly, I just feel like GMMTV is remaking its past shows. I think they did try, but failed miserably. Star in my mind is for sure part of my "worst bls of 2022". GMMTV you better watch out because you have been doing 1 good and 20 bad shows lately so... YIKES.

‘To My Star’ and to my heart.

The cinematography is excellent, I loved every single episode because of how bright it felt. The energy of the series matched the cinematography. It’s just beautiful.
The acting, great. I loved how natural it felt, it didn’t feel forced at all. The younger actor was so edgy and he gave out that vibe (in a good way, lol), and the older actor, DANG he is good omg. Everybody else did awesome too, the cast is truly gifted.
Now, my only complaint, the music. The soundtrack at times didn’t match the scenes. At times I was like, “mmm okay? Why is this track playing in this scene?” but is all good, not everything is perfect.
I wish it was longer, there was a lot of development but no that the one you would get in a 20-40 minu...

First off, after examining the title I came to the conclusion that it symbolizes how Kao and Pete went through hell just for them to be together. Man, the last couple of eps are really mature and well written, New and Tay have great chemistry and so does the other two actors which I apologize for not remembering their names. I saw Kiss me Again and I was a big fan of PeteKao, I thought they could have had more screen time but man Dark Blue Kiss really made me love them more. Tay is really shaping up to be a great actor, he knows how to control his emotions and you can tell by his facial expressions that he has gotten better. New too, new is just so lovely like you really want to see him in every single scene. I love the trama, it was more than just two guys trying to be together. It was more about what their parents thought about them, why would they accept them and how would they be able to tell their parents about their relationship.

I really loved Pete's dad and Kao's mother, it was complicated at times but that was the point. Is to show how young adults' lives change whenever they ente or engage in a particular relationship. Definitely recommend it. I have seen a lot of BL dramas by now and I can say this for sure Dark Blue Kiss is complicated but beautiful and simple in a way. Top of the Top.

You Make me Insane- “You Make me Dance”, you make my heart dance… they got me.

So… You make me dance drove insane cause I needed a least two more eps. It felt rushed, and it’s understandable, filmed during the pandemic and all. I’d rather this than “Ben x Jim” type of series.

This was good, THAT LAST EPISODE GOT ME ROLLING. I HAD ALLERGIES SO I WAS CRYING X2. I think two more eps would have push the series to a more developed type of script.

The acting was a little uncomfortable (?) at times, but hey! They had chemistry. I think the problem was mostly the running time. The friend/villain was weak and the woman too, but like it wasn’t annoying in the sense of, “I really can’t keep watching this” but more to the “they really are weak, lol”. Idk if y'all get me.The two actors are good, Chu was so good in that last ep. damn boy!!.

Now, the plot, it was… Rushed too. You can tell, expanding on the eps would have make the plot feel more vivid. The mother issue was kinda well developed, like they knew where it was going and how to make us suffer (yeah that’s me) but at the same time they didn’t…?
The direction as well, was a little doubtful, certain shots were just unnecessary, but something that I loved was that the director had both actors in the same frame, it felt natural and beautiful.

Would I recommend this BL? OF COURSE, FOR THE GAYS AND THE LGBTQ+ yes, of course. Would I say this is the best korean bl? No, but is it bad? No, I would watch those two last eps for the rest of my life. Would I give this bl an 8? Yes, cause it was good, not OVER GOOD, but GOOD.

until when is cutie enough??????

5.5 You really thought. This show really tried to but failed miserably. I hope to see them in a different show, written better. So, anyways. I am really tired of bls romanticizing all these toxic behaviors, and the guys just putting up with it. The writing is nice at times but most of it is just, fan service, toxic guys, and crying babies. Aren´t we tired of this yet? I don't like how a lot of the characters are written, in fact, the only characters that I kinda like Kuea, Syn, and Nuea. Everybody else is wrong. Diao is such a character, lol. I don't understand why we are still making these types of characters that can't even breathe, and yall keep calling this love. Oh, no babes that HARASSMENT. Anyway, Diao is a cry baby, there's one scene where he starts crying in front of Yi, and I was just like "Sir, he hasn't said a single word what's going on here?" like yall call that love???, he is crying because he is scared of this man god damn it. Yi, well, his character did his part you know, the toxic guy who wants to dominate and acts all macho. It is not that bad until you see Diao, that's when you know this writing is wrong. Hia, the same thing, he is just a toxic man, and there is nothing wrong with having these types of characters as long as you don't romanticize them, and guess what this series does? yeah, that. Even the parents are toxic and are allowed to be.

Legendary. You can't change society, but at least, you can start somewhere.

This series is so well-written, I won't be able to wrap my head around it. It is unique and finally, a series that is trying to show struggles in a real more honest way. There is a lot of issues that are brought up in the series, in fact, l would consider this series a protest from all of the actors towards everything that Thailand has been going through. But, I won't get political. This series is very transparent and it was not afraid to go places. I really like how they are fighting for a cause, but at the same time, they support the other causes. You know? like let's fight the corrupt system, but also, let's fight for LGBTQ+ rights. We stan. Alright, let's get to the gay part (lol). The writing of the characters is amazing. And yes, Off and Gun characters were amazing, but Gawin and Fluke? they ate. There is a lot of struggles in these characters that I really liked. And the fact that is well fleshed out. It is not a cookiecutter series, dealing with the struggles was a highlight. Most bls would give you a big struggle and then just give you two seconds of problem-solving. This series did not do that and for that, I am loving it. A lot of scenes that could have gone wrong but didn't. Such as the opening scene of one of the episodes that had Sean and White having sex, and Yok drawing Dan, these scenes could have gone the wrong way, but it didn't and I am so happy about it.

While y'all out here hating, we on the other side loving. PERIODDDD.
First of all, why the hate??. Y'all dong get mad at some other shows that are literally the same, like copy and paste. Ma'm this show was bananas in the best possible way, the acting was great, the story was confusing at times but guess what, there's something call PAUSE or REPEAT THE EP. I think people spent most of their time hating on it without watching the next ep. I loved the cast, they did a really good job. My only advice would be that next time if you are traveling back and forth they should change the color of the screen for the audience to understand better and not having to go back and forth almost every single time
Loved the badss women on this series. And Woo, boy you better come through I FELL IN LOVE W YOU. Anyways, stop the hate. Xoxoxo

Be my favorite...

Check out my full review here:
https://www.reviewsbytonei.com/post/be-my-favorite-gmmtv-show-of-2023

In the grand scheme of things, this show stands tall as a fantastic addition to the top-tier roster of GMMTV's best BLs. I'd comfortably rate it a solid 9.5 out of 10. The magic truly comes to life thanks to the dynamic duo of Gawin and Krist – their impeccable chemistry is just the tip of the iceberg. The real magic lies in the outstanding script and skillful direction that weaves everything together seamlessly. It's a harmonious blend of all the right elements, making 'Be My Favorite' a remarkable gem in the BL universe after the pandemic and I said what I SAID.

I was a bit skeptical about this Drama but it was fantastic. Great acting, first time I saw Mild and Tay acting in more mature shows, Mild delivered with her acting just amazing. Tay too he really impressed me. MrThana (I forgot his real name) great actor, he's emotions, man, on his face as if he was feeling everything he was saying. Amazing. Everybody else also too great. The storyline was a some pointa a little rocky, but it picked up. I definitely enjoyed it and i recommend it. I loved the ending, i just wish Toptap had more screentime cause he was a sweetheart, I really loved him. The music/soundtrack was okay it could have been better but it is what it is.
