10/10 "Guilty Pleasure" The one and only written review threw me for a loop. I must admit I had to resort to Al interpretation to understand its meaning. However, l am compelled to give it 10 stars to offset this either intentional or erroneous rating. I mostly agree with the review but in a completely positive direction: "Therapy Game is a fast, hot, melodramatic romance that leans heavily into old-school BL tropes. Intense attraction, clear romantic roles, and nonstop progression. It's simple, emotionally restrained, logically straightforward, and very efficient-no filler, no overthinking, just pure genre satisfaction." Although the series was quite short, it did make it to emotional love in the end. I really enjoyed this sweet series and it checked all the boxes for a true guilty pleasure!
10/10 Perfection!! Heartbreaking.. though heartwarming at the same time!! Worth every minute of watching!a little gem indeed!the story. the acting..all just perfect!and the ML couple..the chemistry is chemistrying so bad..they had me so invested from the get go!!! m rooting for these two to make it ..so hard!!fingers crossed!!
10/10 Actings of both of actors are excellent!!! Must watch this series!! A story of series is smooth and plot is easy to follow.. All actors are talented and act well in series.. I really love hairstyles and clothes.. Both of main characters are talented and crying scenes ar...
10/10 story of frendship, love, confusion, acceptance and sacrifice one of the best films I've seen, story of friendship, love, confusion and sacrifice. every character in this movie showed every emotion a human being can give....jonathan will give you love, confusion, sacrifice...shane will give you love and acceptance....carrie will give you acceptance and sacrifice....,it made me cry....it is as beautiful as brokeback mountain...the actors were very good...they acted as if they're no cameras...the musical score is superb, right music for the right emotions...the way the director did the love scene near the end was outstanding, it showed passion without being obscene, the dialogues in the ending was perfect...this is one movie you should have a copy....it will teach you the true meaning of acceptance, love and sacrifice
9/10 It's "gay" but it's not... Ignore the terrible title. Yes, it's a gay movie but then it's not. The "selfish" protagonist finds more than lust and truly and surprisingly finds himself as the movie ends. It's one of the best films I've seen in a while and deeply touched me. Great script and wonderful performances. The director might have used fewer close up, but that's a minor quibble. I rank it up there with 'Weekend." Too bad it's so little known. The ignorant review in the New York Times probably didn't help. No physical copies available in the US but it's available through Amazon. Again, highly recommended. A truly beautiful movie.
10/10 A good LGBTQ tearjerker after a long time This was my first Taiwanese movie which i watched on Netflix just now. I thought it would be a comedy ,however the first flashback in the movie made me cry and it felt like i was watching "P.S I love you" or "Brokeback mountain"..! had no expectations from it at the beginning, however was so impressed with the movie after i finished it.. Loved the Bali Whistle song as well:)
10/10 Entertaining I think this series is very entertaining and has a fun variety of viewpoints. I love chon's mother's advice about love i.e. To truly love someone means you can't have any expectations of that person. One should want what is best for that person, even if it means they don't choose you! That is great advice! Acting and chemistry between the leads is very good.
Best actors with superb performance and no one can replace them. A beautiful story and the way everyone is doing their parts are incredible... Specially our Wang Jinghan as pei yanzhi....what a lovely performance..how he is devoting his love without expressing it to the one he love...the eyes that speaks woahhh...a great performance..love you all and all the best to you all...and I really love everyone's performance...
10/10 Feelgood Romcom Personally I enjoy this show a lot, we're at only two episodes right now but I'm looking forward to each sunday I get to watch it again. Off and Gun as always have the best chemistry and great acting, both fitting the genre and doing something very light after their last project Not Me, which was way darker. I like the comedy aspect, it's silly but not over the top and makes me laugh a lot! The side actors are also interesting, Neo just being amazing as always and Aungpao does a good job on his first ever series! The storywriting doesn't seem to deep in the beginning but by my knowledge of the story behind the novel, it will get deeper, more interesting and is supposed to focus on some society issues as well. I hope everyone will give it a chance, no matter if you're into cooking shows or not. It's serious about the cooking part with workshops for the actors and real chefs being on set, the food shown so far looked really amazing! This is Off and Gun going back to their roots in Puppy Honey while adding their new build up chemistry over the past years to their fun side. It's not as sad or dramatic as Theory of Love, it's not as serious and dark as Not Me, it stands for itself by being their next project that will prove they're here to keep working together.

10/10 Criminally underrated Be My Favorite is what I look from a series, character development. Not everyone has given a second chance and in my opinion, Bodkawi did an amazing job using those chances to be better. At first, Bodkawi is an unlikable character, but his development throughout this series really paid off that makes you root for him whoever he ends up with. He's a relatable character and you could understand his choices from start to finish of the series. Then for Pisang, he's troubled about his identity but he is aware of his feelings. Pisang is a very thoughtful person and a very lovable character. For me this series is a hidden gem and I hope more people could see Be My Favorite.
10/10 It's insane I must tell it is sooo good yaar. I love watching action kdrama so i love weak hero, taxi driver, study group etc. But this is really good one. I mean the male lead and his actions are too good. His entry...oh my god! It is genuinely good and must watch. The mi is strongest character of kdrama history i think. And this is one of the best dramas of 2026. Every thing is perfect and just enjoy it. MUST WATCH.
10/10 This was such a great series!!!!! When I've found out that the manhwa got adapted, i was really looking forward to it. The manhwa was a quite short too, yet it was a good read. As for the series, even though it felt that it was short, it was still a great watch. Might rewatch this again someday... Also pls give the manhwa a try too!! You can read it at Tappytoon.
The breakdown of a friendship makes Hayakawa abandon his passion for music and put on a fassade around his closest people. One day when he escapes to the rooftop of his school, he meets Konno. Unlike other people Konno doesn't give Hayakawa the feeling of having to adjust around him. He gets comfortable and closer until he realizes he has fallen in love with him. Having an avoidant and impulsive personality, Hayakawa never truly confesses his feelings to Konno. And much of the drama's conflict could have been resolved if the characters actually had communicated with each other. But Hayakawa's fear of abandonment would not let him. The drama fully encapsulates how much of the missed chances in life are a result of self-sabotage and the fear of living your life authentically.
9/10 Impression of Youth 9/10 Impression of Youth is a Taiwanese Boys' Love series that ! personally enjoyed a lot. What I like most about this series is its charming storytelling. The relationship between the characters develops naturally, growing from simple closeness into deeper feelings for one another. It is portrayed in a sweet and heartwarming way that often made me smile while watching. The production quality is also impressive. The cinematography is beautiful, with well-composed camera work that gives the series a soft and stylish atmosphere. Another highlight for me is how the intimate scenes are presented. They feel sensual while still maintaining an artistic touch, with strong use of lighting and color that makes several scenes visually memorable. Overall, Impression of Youth is an engaging and enjoyable series with romance, charm, and strong chemistry between the leads. If you enjoy warm and relationship-driven stories, I would recommend giving it a try. It is available on iQlYl.
9/10 Something's Not Right... and it's the script. Listen. I came in with high hopes. The leads? STUNNING. Visuals?? Off the charts. The potential?? Immaculate. Black cat x golden retriever dynamic?? Inject it directly into my veins. I wanted to love this. I really did. But sadly... something truly was not right We had Ba Woo, a precious golden retriever man who was yearning, crying, and projecting emotions like a side character in a Shakespearean tragedy-and Jee Hoon, a man so emotionally repressed he made Mr. Darcy look like a talk show host. The chemistry was there but the storytelling said "nah." Instead of giving us a slow-burn romance with healing and mutual understanding, we got a confusing mess of miscommunication, deadpan reactions, and emotional whiplash. Every time a moment built up, the next scene undercut it. It was like watching two gorgeous men circle each other in a fog of unresolved trauma and half-written dialogue. This show could've been the blueprint for "friends to lovers with longing stares and tearful confessions." Instead, it gave "Pinterest moodboard with zero substance." I stayed for the pretty faces. I left with a migraine and a sense of what could've been.
10/10 heartwarming series I like the story because one of the main protagonists is deaf and mute. The role is played very authentically, and you can feel the emotions he's going through. I haven't seen sign language addressed often in films or series before. Therefore, I think it's really well done and an important, special topic. The protagonist's anger and insecurity about his deafness are well camouflaged by his optimistic demeanor toward others. It's beautiful how sensitively the topic is handled and how tenderly feelings reveal themselves little by little, and how trust is built between the two men. Both main protagonists go through a nice development. I also liked the second gay couple in the story. So I will say - it's a must see. :)
10/10 Masterpiece !) I love it sooo much!! It's my most favourite b!!! The characters, the storyline, pacing is breathtaking, the actors did a great job (my favourite is definitely Kenji Fan) and also the music was so soothing and delicate. It was soo wholesome and fluffy to watch, please watch this series it's totally worth it!
09/10 Adorable secondary couple. I only watched it for the secondary couple. The main couple are in a relationship where one partner is domineering and belittling, and the other is constantly self-critical. As for chemistry, I didn't see any. Tang Tu Chih's backstory is tear-jerking, but that's not enough to make up for the toxic little remarks he dares to make. Whereas the secondary couple are in a relationship full of misunderstandings but on the same level, with mutual adoration. Those two are absolutely adorable. Their first time is quite believable in terms of intensity. As for the main couple's storyline, there's drama piled on top of drama right up until the penultimate episode. Personally, I can't stand storylines that keep ramping things up right to the end just to create tension.
10/10 Best drama of 2020 which catches your heart and your soul First of all this is not just a BL drama, this drama is bunch of emotion and feelings of friends, family, brother, lovers. This drama is a feeling you just can't give it genre of BL or LGBTQ. This drama is not like other bl drama of Thailand which contain cringe. This series is a pure art of acting and music. Main lead actors gave there best acting level to show emotions of two confused boys direction of this series was very good.ost are so good you will fall for it. This drama will make you to feel sadness, happiness, sexual tension, sacrifice, struggle of life in just those 5 episodes. You will fall for it surely, you will lost in there life. I want this series to became famous because it deserves.
