Poor Pheem, once a gentle boy, watched his life crumble in a single, merciless moment. His stepmother’s car crushed his mother before his eyes, her screams swallowed by the night. Before his tears could fall, that same woman pushed him down the stairs, trying to erase him as if he were nothing more than an obstacle between her son and the family empire.His father, the one person who should have fought for him, turned his back instead. No warmth, no mercy, only exile. He was sent away like a secret to be buried, left to rot in a foreign land with no love, no family, and no name. That night became his birth into darkness, the moment a child’s heart was replaced with a void filled by rage and sorrow.The scar on his back never healed. He tattooed over it, not to hide the pain, but to immortalize it. Every drop of ink whispered a promise: one day, they will pay. Every breath he took was a vow to make them bleed as he once bled, to return not as the forgotten boy, but as the storm they created.Now, the prodigal son returns, not for forgiveness, but for vengeance. His stepmother and half-brother live in comfort built on the bones of his past. But the child they buried has risen, sharper, colder, and far more dangerous than they ever imagined.Yet fate, cruel and tender, plays its own game. Than, his Thunderman from childhood, has reappeared, now as his protector. Once, Than was his hero, the light that shielded him from nightmares. Now, he becomes the only man capable of softening the darkness within him. Amid vengeance and chaos, love begins to bloom, fragile but fierce, a flicker of warmth in a heart long frozen.Episode 3 is a solid 10/10 and has everything....lies, betrayal, framing, a bride in tears, family chaos, burning romance, and siblings fighting to the death. Every scene feels like a storm waiting to explode. The tension, emotion, and madness blend into something unforgettable. I cannot wait to see what the future episodes bring, because if this is only the beginning, the fire ahead will be unstoppable.

We cannot always have a perfect ending, not in stories and not in life. ABO Desire reminded me of that truth with a beauty that aches. The main couple found their light, but the second was left in shadow, and somehow that feels real. Because in life too, some loves find their forever, while others fade like whispers in the wind. Some hearts heal together, others break in silence and learn to keep beating through the pain.So many shows and series end in sorrow, with love torn apart and dreams left unfinished. But at least this one did not fall into tragedy. It gave us hope, a fragile but precious kind of peace. It showed that love, even after all the storms, can still bloom.For me, I am grateful. This story will linger, soft and heavy, like a memory I do not wish to forget. I will carry it with me, the warmth, the heartbreak, the sacrifice. My Saturdays will no longer feel the same. They will feel a little emptier, yet somehow fuller too, because ABO Desire left behind not just an ending, but a feeling that will stay with me for a very long time.

My Stubborn Special Episode Episode 1
2 people found this review helpful
Wow the NC scenes in the Special Episode did not disappoint 🔥 That phone sex scene was dripping with heat, pure lust and chemistry. And the best part? While FaceTiming, Jun magically teleported straight into Japan and ended up in bed with Sorn. Talk about fantasy turning into reality 😏💦I’m seriously going to miss these two… praying the universe gives us another series so we can watch them set the screen on fire again.

This series might end up being one of my favorites of the year. It feels so underrated, and more people need to discover it. I am thrilled we’re getting two episodes each week, and I honestly cannot wait for the next one.

So many great Thai 1960s series have come out this year, including Shine and Khemjira, but I love Love in the Moonlight even more. The first two episodes were such a strong start and completely pulled me in. This is another excellent 1960s era BL, and the attention to detail in every scene is incredible. From the heritage houses and vintage cars to the clothing, dark tone, intense music, and beautiful cinematography, everything feels authentic. I was hooked from start to finish and immediately wanted more.Peak Prince Saenkaew’s performance is breathtaking. When he cried after being forced by his father to marry in order to protect the family wealth, it truly moved me to tears. His acting is so powerful and layered.Pear as Sasin is gorgeous and charismatic, and I cannot wait to see his chemistry unfold with the Prince. Perth, who plays Pin, is also stunning with her innocent and sweet presence. Her costumes are elegant and beautifully designed, adding to the richness of the series.Based on the trailer, once the sister discovers the truth about her brother and her fiancé’s love, the heartbreak and devastation will be intense, and I am so curious to see how it plays out.This might be one of my favorite Thai BLs of the year. It is so underrated, and more people need to watch it. I am thrilled we are getting two episodes per week, and I cannot wait for the next one.

Episode 7 was a storm of heartbreak, truth, and sacrifice. Three moments stood out: Naran’s coming out, Victor’s tragic death, and the loss of the loyal Veera.At the dining table, Naran finally gathered the courage to tell Dao the truth: the person he loved was not her, but a man. His words cut through the air like silence itself. Dao stood frozen, her world shattering in an instant. When he called her name, she turned, lifted her heel, and struck his face, not with her hand, but with something harsher, as if to say his truth was too vile to touch. In the 1960s, when same-sex love was invisible and forbidden, her slap was not only a wound of betrayal but a reflection of a society unable to accept love in its purest form.Meanwhile, on the streets, blood painted the cry for freedom. As someone from Melbourne, I think of protests I have witnessed where, at worst, police use pepper spray to scatter a crowd. Yet here, in Thailand’s past, guns were raised against innocent students, their voices silenced with bullets. Among them, Victor fell. He was not just a man at a protest, he was a dreamer, on the cusp of a new life in America. His death was senseless, his future stolen. Tanwa’s silence to protect Trin now becomes Trin’s torment, for he will forever wonder: if he had known, could Victor have been saved? Little did he know, Victor had already been warned. My heart breaks for them both, bound by grief and guilt.And then Veera. The most loyal, the most silent, the most unseen. He loved Dhevi in silence, hiding his feelings within the pages of a notebook. Those very words, his only confession, betrayed him, exposing him to blackmail and sealing his fate. He died not as a villain, not as a coward, but as a man willing to sacrifice himself for the Colonel and the woman he could never have. His death was not only tragic, it was cruelly unjust.Episode 7 exposes a bitter truth: love can be punished, loyalty can be betrayed, and innocence can be crushed beneath corruption. Police who were meant to protect became executioners, and love that should have been celebrated became a curse. This episode is not just a story, it is a wound, one that lingers long after the screen fades to black.

After watching Episode 10, it reminds me of Episode 8 of the fragile dream we once held so tightly, yet could never reach.ShuHe whispered with trembling hope, “Just as we promised, we’ll escape to the woods, wandering mountains and rivers side by side.”ZiAng, his eyes shining with fragile devotion, replied, “Of course I will. When that day comes, we’ll build a small courtyard in the forest, and beneath the trees, we’ll hold a simple wedding, just the two of us.”What a dream it was. So gentle. So impossible.We were born in the wrong place, within the palace where every smile hides chains, where crowns are heavier than life itself. We never wanted to be emperors. We only wished to love freely, to trade the weight of kingdoms for the peace of each other’s arms.But fate is cruel.You bleed from the guards’ merciless blows.I burn from the poison that eats me within.Two bodies breaking in different ways,yet both bound by the same love.If there is another life beyond this one, let us meet not as princes, not as heirs to thrones,but as two ordinary souls who can finally live as we dreamed, a quiet home in the woods,a wedding with no witnesses,and mornings where the only crown we wearis each other’s love.Until then, my heart belongs to you,even in death.

In the quiet of the night, when Khem drifted into fragile sleep, Peem entered, silent as a breath. One by one, he touched those wounded fingers, smoothing cream over each bruise, wrapping them tenderly in bandages as though they were treasures too delicate for the world. Ten little acts of devotion, soft as a lullaby. If this is not love, then love itself has no name.And when dawn crept in, Khem awoke to find his pain cradled in another’s care. He did not need to ask who had done this, his heart already knew. That small, secret smile upon his lips was not for the healing of his hands, but for the quiet proof that someone had chosen to love him in silence.Sad, because the love remained unspoken. Romantic, because it was written in the gentlest of gestures.

Wow, episode 9 broke my heart in ways I cannot put into words.Duan ZiAng’s love for ShuHe is so consuming, so absolute, that he would rather drink poison than cause a single wound to the man he loves. For five long years he carried this weight, sacrificing everything, even killing his own father, all so he could fight for a future with ShuHe.He created an entire identity, the Six Prince residence, not for ambition, not for glory, but as a gift, a sanctuary built with his own blood and sweat, solely for his lover. Two kingdoms waged endless war, millions of soldiers were sacrificed, and yet at the heart of it all was not conquest, but love, one man’s unshakable devotion to another.If this is not love, then what is? A love that defies reason, a love that bends morality, a love so fierce it chooses the beloved over the world itself.My heart tells me Duan ZiAng will die from the poison. And that thought crushes me, because what could be more tragic than a love between two emperors, eternal in devotion but doomed by destiny.Their story is not just romance. It is sacrifice. It is pain. It is love written in blood, carved into history, and drowned in tears.

Episode 8 left me completely heartbroken. The Crown Prince’s betrayal was devastating, turning against his own father, the King, and then setting his sights on his own brother in his ruthless pursuit of the throne. Such cruelty is not uncommon in kingdoms, yet witnessing it unfold carried a heavy weight. And when the Crown Prince was finally stabbed and sent falling from the bridge, it was Huo Ying who caught him, holding him one last time. Seventeen years together as master and servant, yet beneath it all, there was love. To watch the man he had dedicated his life to die in his arms must have been unbearable.And then came the final kiss between DuanZiang and ShuHe, a kiss so hauntingly beautiful yet unbearably tragic. It was not a kiss of beginning, but one of ending, sealing their fate with sorrow. Two princes, bound by love but separated by kingdoms, both destined to become kings, yet their union could only break them. That single moment carried more pain than words could capture.This episode was filled with grief, betrayal, and love that cannot be, and I cannot wait for the next episode, though my heart is still aching from this one.

Wow, another amazing episode. I absolutely loved all the flashbacks to the 1920s, and the best part is seeing present-day Khem reappear to trigger all those memories.Knock Out, Reset, and Top Form were my favorite Thai BLs this year, but Khemjira has officially taken over as my number one. Episode 4 ran for over 70 minutes and I wasn’t bored for even a second. The acting, plot, cinematography, and the incredible attention to detail in the 1920s setting, combined with the dark and forest themes, were all top notch. I seriously cannot wait for the next episode.

Episode 6 was pure sweetness from start to finish. What made it so special was the shift in their dynamic, because this time it was JunXi who chased after Tuo and kissed him first. Usually it is Tuo who takes the lead, so seeing JunXi step forward with that kind of bold affection made the moment even more heartfelt.The way they opened up to each other touched me deeply. Tuo finally confessed why he used to date girls, not because he had feelings for them, but because he was young and naïve, and thought that distracting them would keep them from liking JunXi. His honesty showed how much he has grown, and when he apologized, it felt like a weight lifted between them. Communication like this is rare, and it made their bond shine even brighter.The tender little details melted my heart. The soft cuddling, the gentle forehead kiss, and the comfort of waking up in the morning next to the one you love, those are the moments that make love feel real and alive. It was intimate yet innocent, simple yet overflowing with emotion. And then came the back hug, when Jun Xi quietly held Tuo after his painful fight with his father. Without a single word, Jun Xi gave Tuo warmth, safety, and reassurance. That embrace said everything: “I am here, and you are not alone.”I know this may be an unpopular opinion, but I actually felt sympathy for Tuo’s father too. His wife left him, and he worked endlessly as a single dad to provide for Tuo. While Tuo often spent time at Jun Xi’s home, eating dinners there, he may not realize the sacrifices his father made to pay for the mortgage, the school fees, and all the bills. Carrying that responsibility alone is a heavy burden. But even so, his strict discipline and lack of emotional connection were not the right way to raise his son. What Tuo truly needed was understanding, not control. Thankfully, Jun Xi is there now to give him the love, comfort, and support he deserves.And to those who label Tuo as “forced, obsessed, or controlling” with JunXi, I have to say they clearly haven’t seen episode 8 of ABO Desire. Compared to Hua Yong, who is manipulative, possessive, and even empowered by supernatural abilities, Tuo is nothing short of an angel.

Wu Suo Wei’s mum: “The bed in Da Qiong’s room is especially big, you two can roll around.”Chi Cheng (in his head): Oh, we’ve done more than just roll, Mother-in-law. That bed’s already seen sweat, moans, and legs in the air. All. Night. Long. 😏🔥

This drama is pure magic. Episodes 3 and 4 completely stole my heart — their chemistry is off the charts, and the way they look at each other? Utterly romantic. I could easily binge all 22 remaining episodes in one breathless sitting. Having to wait another 7 days feels like the cruelest kind of heartbreak.The ice cream kiss was such a sweet surprise — playful, tender, and completely natural. I’m so glad it wasn’t another one of those cliché accident kisses we see in 99% of BLs these days. It felt genuine and intimate, adding even more charm to their growing connection.

I’ve said this before, but the director was so clever with this concept. It feels like we’re getting two series in one, and it works so well.The acting is absolutely top notch. When he revealed that he had been SA’d, the crying and emotional breakdown felt so real. Then the director calls “cut,” and they instantly have to switch back into a completely different role. Playing two different characters in the same series and constantly adjusting between them is incredibly difficult.What makes it even more impressive is how young they are. One actor is only 20 and was probably 19 during filming, while the other is just 22. They both delivered performances far beyond their years. They’re incredibly talented, and I really hope they get another series together.On top of that, the director for this series, Liu Jun Hao, is only 27. He’s both an actor and a director, and the way he brought this story to life was so impressive. All three of them are so young and incredibly talented.
