Finished in 2024

1. Januar

bl comedy peak
-0,5 unnecessary 11th hour love misunderstanding
+0,5 the managers' relationship

14. Januar

light hearted comedy
with commentary on self-perception and narrative of the self

17. Januar

asymmetrical love story
japanese, comedy-drama

18. Januar

a BL
+0,5 pretty japanese production bonus

20. Januar

the sweetness, the melancholy,
I can identify with JW
noble idiocy as idiocy
the hope, the way he looks more his age when happy

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

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

25. Januar

nice cat food ad

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

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

8. Februar

solid short queer

11. Februar

A show about women with self discovery in the second half

18. Februar

Good communication and a wonderful training montage
communication as the tool to problem solving and problem avoidance
example of how much Thai BL has matured

24. Februar

24. Februar

Disappointing ending to a not fully realised story

2. März

It's about the hard work that is the way out of that whole without walls. 5. 23.02.24

3. März

A successfull adaptation that could even improve on the Japanese drama

7.  März

Its well made but I cannot connect.

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

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

14. März

oddly paced, ending involving a uneccessary prior meeting, melancholy pill, that looks better than it is

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

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 fail

the 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. März

A nice story of gay awakening packed into a sitcom

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. 29.03.24

I thouroughly enjoyed this depiction of the teenage experience

6. April

Pacing and side character characterisation was a little off.

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

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

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

10. April

12. April

Fun comedy

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

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 ..

19. April

20. April

HIgh communication trope subversion with commentary on star culture and queerness in the public eye.

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

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

27. April

A horny drama with a worthwhile story ? 5. 05.04.24

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

29. April

the character exposition for jim 1. 04.02.24
this so well made the acting and the music 4. 06.04.24
A nearly perfect story

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

3. Mai

Ice and Fire

4. Mai

An improvement on the first one. It really needed them to completely misunderstand each other.

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

5. Mai

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

6. Mai

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

9. Mai

Worringly close to life

9. Mai

I dont know how I feel about the ending

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

11. Mai

11. Mai

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

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

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

13. Mai

13. Mai

Slowly peeling away all the layers for this reveal 1+ 5. 07.05.24
There are some wobbly bits and some high points overall very good

14. Mai

Cute but a bit strechted out

16. Mai

This show has colours. It also has title and episode titles that that are important cant confess. 1. 25.04.24
Cute show about finding how you love someone
