Fourever You is a shining gem in the world of Thai BL, delivering a rare blend of emotional depth, strong character dynamics, and feel-good storytelling. After watching Perfect 10 Liners, I came into this series with high expectations—and it absolutely did not disappoint. Both shows are must-watches: cute, non-toxic, and filled with supportive friendships and an incredibly charming cast. I was so hooked that I binged all 17 episodes in just three sittings!
🌟 Story & Characters
The series follows four close friends—Easter, Hill, North, and Johan—as they navigate university life, personal growth, and romantic relationships. While it took me a bit to warm up to the first few episodes (especially with Ter/Easter, played by Earth), I gradually grew to appreciate his character more. I’ve loved Earth since My Only 12% and Until We Meet Again, but here his character felt a bit immature at first. That said, his friendship with North was a highlight—supportive, wholesome, and real. My only small critique is that Ter studies veterinary science, yet we never see him interact with animals or do anything related to his field—most of his screen time involves art classes, which feels like a missed opportunity.
Hill (Pond) is visually stunning and has undeniable screen presence. I really enjoyed his calm yet captivating portrayal and can’t wait to see him in his upcoming series Reset. As a couple, HillTer has great chemistry, and I would rate their pairing an 8/10.
💘 But the real stars for me are Johan and North. This couple completely stole the show. Johan (Maxky) is tall, handsome, smart (a med student!), and comes from wealth—he’s the full package. Paired with North (Bas), who is just adorable, genuine, and emotionally expressive, they became one of the best BL couples I’ve ever seen. I wholeheartedly agree with the many MDL and YouTube comments: JohanNorth is top-tier BL couple goals. Their dynamic felt mature, affectionate, and deeply romantic.
JohanNorth couple rating: 10/10 — perfect chemistry, perfect pacing, and emotionally fulfilling.
🚨 Important Viewing Tip: Watch the Uncut Version!
Please allow me to emphasize this: do not watch the cut version available on YouTube. I strongly recommend watching the uncut version. While it may only be a few minutes longer per episode, those minutes are crucial. They contain key emotional scenes that elevate the storytelling significantly.
Take Episode 15, for instance. After Johan returns from Boston, there's a heartfelt rooftop moment where he asks North to be his boyfriend. They hug and share two intense, passionate kisses—none of which are included in the YouTube cut. Having compared both versions myself, I can confidently say the uncut version offers a much richer and more emotionally complete experience. Don’t miss out on that depth—it’s well worth it.
🎬 Production & Final Thoughts
Studio Wabi Sabi continues to deliver. While Thai BL production budgets may not always match those of Korean dramas, the chemistry, storytelling, and emotional payoff are all there. The show is visually appealing, the pacing is smooth, and the soundtrack enhances the atmosphere beautifully.
Fourever You is the kind of series that sneaks up on you emotionally. It’s about friendship, love, and growing into the people you’re meant to be—with lots of heart along the way. I’m already counting down to Season 2, especially to see more of the other three couples.
Highly recommended for anyone who loves soft, romantic BLs with real emotional impact and a cast that feels like family. 10/10. 💫

Rating: 10/10
From the very beginning, it’s clear this is a story about love at first sight—on both sides. The connection between Koichi and Mitsuru (Micchan) is instant and intense, and the drama does a beautiful job exploring the depth of their bond, even when death gets in the way.
I absolutely loved Koichi. He was so protective of Mitsuru from the start—whether it was standing up to bullies in the classroom or always walking on the traffic side of the road to shield him. Ironically, that very habit led to the truck accident that took his life. Speaking of the truck—honestly, the driver should have been fined or jailed. He was clearly speeding and caused Koichi’s death. But even after being hit, Koichi got up and his first thought was still Micchan. That says everything about the kind of person he is—selfless and full of love. Even in their final moments together, he was still thinking about Micchan’s future, saying he couldn’t leave his “corpse” behind because it wouldn’t look good for Micchan. It broke me. He was always putting Micchan first.
And then there was that final scene. The crying, the love-making, the constant exchange of “I love you”s—God, it was so emotional. Koichi knew he was disappearing soon, and his tears showed just how much he didn’t want to leave. Meanwhile, Micchan tried so hard to comfort him, saying things like “You are the one I love the most,” “I will never forget you,” and “You’ll always be my number one until I die.” Those words hit so hard. It was painful to watch two people love each other so deeply and still have to say goodbye.
Overall, Eternal Yesterday is an incredible series—unusual, emotional, and deeply moving. The plot and chemistry are everything. My only wish is that Japan would invest a bit more in the production quality of their BL dramas. Compared to Korean or Thai BL, the visuals and cinematography here felt a little lacking—but the story and the emotional depth absolutely make up for it.
If you’re looking for a BL that’s raw, touching, and unique, this one is a must-watch.
Rating: 8.5/10
For example, in Episode 15, during the rooftop scene after Johan returns from Boston, he asks North to be his boyfriend. After North agrees, they share a heartfelt hug followed by two intense and passionate kisses—none of which are included in the cut version.
Having compared both versions myself, I can confidently say that the uncut version offers a much richer and more emotionally complete experience. I highly recommend watching it to fully appreciate the story and character development.
Close To You is a breezy and heartwarming Korean BL anthology that offers a sweet glimpse into four different love stories, each capturing the delicate moments of unspoken affection, shy glances, and emotional firsts. The drama introduces us to eight male leads, and let's just say—every single one of them is absolutely stunning and gorgeous. The casting is definitely a visual treat, and each pair brings their own unique charm.
Since it's an anthology, each couple only gets under 20 minutes of screen time, which does feel a bit rushed. While the format keeps the pace light and engaging, a little over 30 minutes per episode would have allowed for deeper plot development and more time for the chemistry to fully bloom. As it stands, the stories are enjoyable but leave you wishing for just a bit more.
What really works in Close To You is its positive and non-toxic tone. There’s no angst-heavy drama or manipulative characters—just four different narratives of love in its many early forms. From school crushes to workplace pining, each story brings something different to the table, which helps the series feel fresh throughout.
Overall, Close To You is a feel-good, easy-to-watch BL that delivers on visual appeal, sweet moments, and variety. With just a bit more runtime, it could’ve gone from great to unforgettable.
Final Score: 8/10
The Cut Version is 13+
First off, let’s talk visuals. ALL FOUR main guys? Literal walking perfection. Like, did the casting team just raid heaven?? Tang DuZhi and Wang Zhan had me staring at my screen like 🫠 every time they shared a scene. And don’t even get me started on Zhang YiQing and Tu JingHe—those high school flashbacks?? TOO CUTE, I was kicking my feet fr.
And episodes 11 and 12?? MA’AM. The NC scenes were 🔥🔥🔥. Steamy, emotional, intense—the chemistry between both couples was insane. I was living for every second.
One scene that broke me: Tang DuZhi secretly listening to Wang Zhan sing after losing his parents. Like?? The pain?? The love?? He never even told him. I was curled up in a ball sobbing.
BUT—and this is a big but—the plot? Baby what is you doing?? 😩 The whole "he’s a funeral director and he gets kidnapped" angle was… unnecessary. He’s a grown man, why are we doing this? It felt like a weird excuse to get the story rolling.
Also... WHY are both couples acting like they're in a slow-burn soap opera when they've already admitted feelings??? Tang DuZhi and Wang Zhan playing emotional ping-pong, and YiQing still going through with a marriage after confessing to Tu JingHe??? It’s giving frustration. Just kiss and be together omg.
And don’t even get me started on that ending. 12 episodes and they CRAM everything into the finale—confessions, NC scenes, then suddenly both couples are married?? No proposals, no proper resolution?? Girl, I needed at least two more episodes for that emotional payoff!
I’m giving it an 8/10 because the cast and the chemistry CARRIED. But man… this was a waste of such an insanely beautiful cast. Give them a better script next time 😭
Enjoy, I just finished episode 1 and its so good.
I finished season one last month, but I don’t recall SiEun killing anyone. He did injure a few of his classmates as part of SuHo’s revenge, but can anyone clarify who he supposedly killed?
