6/10 controversial but trust your own opinion
6/10 controversial but trust your own opinionI didn't watch this series for a very long time because I saw an immense amount of negative reviews, which I understand why people hated it. The acting isn't too great it's not horrible though) also, it's based off a story that is absolutely unhinged. The way that Day and Itt met each other was the most brutal and insane story ever, it makes sense why they didn't incorporate much of the beginning of Day and Itt's story in the series.
Despite this, I enjoyed it, this is because in the beginning Day and Itt are already in love. Yes, their relationship is very toxic. Day purposely spoiled Itt so he wouldn't want to live without him, and Itt is a big baby in the beginning who throws tantrums over small things like cake. The point is (for me) they both love each other so much, they are just broken and in need of constant reassurance. This is why Day spoils Itt and why Itt expects Day to put up with his tantrums. After Day loses his memory, Itt feels lots of guilt for being the reason for his accident, and he dedicates himself to taking care of Day despite Day having reverted back to the jerk he was before he met Itt. Their relationship is very complex and you have to fully understand each side in order to empathize.
I really enjoy the jealousy and the possessivness, but some of Days actions are very messed up. It takes a lot for Day to open his heart to Itt again.
Skipping all that, in the last episode when Day regains his memory I feel the reunion between them was weak. The actor for Itt is not too great at facial expressions or crying. It lacked emotion. Day and Itt finally are back on good terms and they ve grown so much trom this experience, changing who they were in the past and on to lead a healthier relationship.
This series isn't for everyone, especially the faint of heart.
You have to be okay with toxic and messy plots. It's not supposed to be a fluffy healthy love series. I was entertained, l ignored the bad acting parts, and I didn't hate it at all. Trust your own opinion.

6/10 Typical and Funny.
6/10 Typical and Funny.I didn't hate this series the way I expected to. It was honestly really funny and kind of cute. Any series Longshi Lee is in tends to have a messy relationship and this wasn't any different. It was definitely your classic vampire romance. The twist was predictable and the fighting wasn't too good, but I'm very open-minded with the series I watch.
I was particularly having a bad day when I watched this, but it left me laughing. I don't mind how cliche or typical it was.
The ending could've used a little work, but it wasn't horrible.

9/10 Short episodes
9/10 Short episodesI feel a lot of the story is missing, but it is pretty good. It feels like someone edited out a lot of the content and we've been given a shortened version. Maybe the rest of the show got lost?
Things happen pretty fast or it is time jumping. There are only 10 episodes and I can't find anywhere that there might be more. The last one leaves you hanging without finishing the story. It's not a cliffhanger either. It's a shame because I think the actors are being cheated as well as the audience. ! really would have like the characters to have been built up more. I like the actors that were chosen.

10/10 ones alive will disappear, dead be evoked....
10/10 ones alive will disappear, dead be evoked....Official pilot, released a year ago, brewed curiosity about this savory plot despite my doubts upon the cast's emoting ability. I have seen a similar kiss before but, regrettably, can't recollect the details. Believe me, upon watching, the narrative siphons you into it's premise. This one is definitely a more estimable series than those with the same title in the past. Every frame is earnestly conceived with beautiful locations, emotional background score ('Too late' by BOY Somphob), optimum amounts of lamo' and presumable events down the plot. Piano notes for intimate scenes misted an imagery of warm sun rays breaking through a window into a dark room. P'Anurak and his team deserve an applause for those sensuous canvas portraits.
Unexpectedly, I found this ruby polished by Khun Pimphat Chutrakul. Every logue had purpose. Extreme heroism portrayed stole my heart the same. 'Por' shoving bullets into his boss's son, 'Chat' licking the sword, 'Satreejit' wiping
'Chanda's blood off the knife, 'Jao' falling into boar trap and
'Phupha's dead body being dragged to hang, suai mak jing jing. P'Pra has proven the might of his pen once again.

9/10 Bad Guy My Boo
This is an office romance BL series where the main couple being the boss and the secretary. Unlike some series that I've watched, this one don't beat around the bush. It always went straight to the point in every episodes, that's why you won't get bored watching it. Some people are complaining about the toxic behavior of the main lead. But what those people don't get is that there's a cause for everything, including that. If you keep watching from the very first episode to the very end, you'll know the cause of his bad behavior, you'll also witness his transformation, and finally, the satisfying ending. I think it's a really good story with a very good ending. There's even a special episode for BL fans at the end of the series, which is full of sweetness that can give you diabetes just by watching it. The only thing that kinda weird me out is that none of the couples have any relatives. The plot never involved any parents nor siblings, and that's kinda weird. At least in my opinion.Was this review helpful to you?
9/10 To Be Happy Ever After
9/10 To Be Happy Ever AfterThe plot for this series is simple, yet it was made complicated for some silly reasons. At the beginning, the audience were presented with a conflict which didn't have any explanation yet. As the plot progressed, a series of flash backs unfolded the mysteries one by one. This series relies on these flash backs a lot. I think it's okay to use flash backs as a tool. It's just that you need to make it clear to the audience. Because if it went on for too long, it can get confusing easily. The acting from most actors were good.
There was no unnecessary scenes which gets dragged on just for the sake of fulfilling the quantity of episodes. Which is a good thing, cause that means that this series is not boring. Although it's not as interesting as Bed Friend, it's still good to watch. For fujoshis, this one must be put in your watch list.

6/10 The Last Confusion
This Thai BL series started out very cringey and boring. The jokes they're making were dry and unfunny. I almost didn't want to continue watching, but I did. Cause there's still a chance that the story gets better. And thank goodness that I did, cause the story indeed got better. The first 2 episodes seemed pointless, but they were just the starters. The following episodes brought much better dramas. And although some actors' acting skills weren't spot on, it's still watchable. They spent too much time on the side couples that it seemed like they almost forgot to take care of the main couple. Which had the worst chemistry ever, if you asked me. Ryu seemed uninterested with Arm until the last episode, he suddenly smitten with him. What's up with that?And Arm also had the weirdest taste in men. He likes cold, mean and much older men?! The plot made Arm called Ryu his senior, when he looked more like an uncle to him. I guess the series suffered from bad directing? I think with a better director and screen writer, this series could've turned out better. They also didn't explain Ryu's past where he lost his fiance in an accident. Which could've helped with the plot. I don't recommend you this one, it's not very good.

8/10 A Beautiful Love Story Lost in the Shadows of Kowloon Walled City
Sammy's Children's Day is one of the most unique romance dramas of 2026, blending crime, action, and a surprisingly heartfelt love story against the unforgettable backdrop of Hong Kong's Kowloon Walled City. From the very first episode, the series pulls you into its gritty yet strangely nostalgic world, where gang violence and corruption constantly lurk beneath the surface. The cinematography, atmosphere, and production design are exceptional, often making the drama feel more like a beautifully shot Hong Kong crime film than a traditional romance series.The heart of the show lies in the relationship between Xia Liu Yi and He Chu San. Their dynamic is captivating trom start to finish, with one being impulsive and dangerous while the other remains calm, intelligent, and quietly calculating. The chemistry between the leads feels natural, and both actors deliver performances filled with subtle emotions, making even the smallest moments meaningful.
What impressed me most was how much story, character development, and emotional depth the series managed to fit into only nine episodes. Despite the fast pacing, the romance never feels forced, and the supporting cast adds plenty of charm to the overall experience.
My biggest issue is the ending. While emotionally satisfying in some ways, it leaves several important questions unanswered. We never learn the full truth behind Liu Yi's sister and brother-in-law's deaths, nor do we discover who his brother-in-law truly loved, which seems central to the tragedy. These unresolved mysteries make the finale feel incomplete and somewhat frustrating after becoming so invested in the story.
Even with its flaws, Sammy's Children's Day stands out as a memorable and beautifully crafted drama. Its atmosphere, performances, and unconventional romance are strong enough to outweigh the confusing ending, making it an easy recommendation for anyone looking for something different from the usual romance series.

9/10 Me Likey :]
9/10 Me Likey :]Overall, I enjoyed this series a pretty fair amount. I will say though, the synopsis doesn't give enough insight as to what the series is actually about. There's actually way more that goes down in the series. I won't spoil it, but be ready for certain things like domestic abuse and grief; which aren't consistently displayed throughout the series, but are big parts of the plot. Normally I skip certain scenes in shows because it's just a long clip of the characters kissing something; do not do that while watching this, you *will* miss an important sentence. Every time I skipped I'd have to go back cause I'd be like "wait what just happened." It's a good series, especially for being Chinese (being they have censorship laws and whatnot) I'm glad it has a happy ending. If you don't watch the after-credits on the final episode you WILL miss this though and it'll be a sad ending.
- MAKE SURE TO STAY FOR THE AFTER CREDITS SCENE ON THE LAST EPISODE!!!

10/10 South Korea stepping up their game!!!
10/10 South Korea stepping up their game!!!OMG!!!!! Where to begin? And what can I say that hasn't been said already? I don't know I just want to talk about it because I need to cry about it somewhere.
This show deserves all the praise and more and I feel tempted to write one of my essays again but l'll refrain. I just NEED to say that Korea is really out there taking the bl genre seriously, finally, with great plots, performances, and chemistry.
"Our Dating Sim", "Unintentional Love Story" and "The Eighth Sense" are all from this year and they're all so good, I've watched them all more than once. None beats this one though.
This is the best bl show of this year so far and I bet it will be unbeatable!
Plot - 10/10 Performance - 10/10 Chemistry - 10/10 Love scenes - 10/10 Photography - 10/10 Directing - 10/10 OST - OMG BEST EVER!! There's not one song, instrumental or not that doesn't fit perfectly in every scene, and I'm literally obsessed with it.
I just can't say it's the best bl of all time because I'm emotionally attached to "Semantic Error" and can't move on, but this one is a very close second.
Watch it. Watch it again. Give it the love it deserves!
Did I just write another essay? Aish I'm sorry

10/10 Recommended bl series
10/10 Recommend BL series!The show offers anthology from different kind of modern BL romance. The first season is kind of cheesy and cliche, but trust me it gets better in S2 (if you like, skip S1 and go directly to S2) because each season has its own individual stories, so you can watch from any of them. The acting is a lot better in other seasons too and the chemistry between the characters. I did enjoy the episodes in first season too.
I highly recommend the second season's History: Crossing the Line. It's great love story where the jock Xia Yu Hao falls in love with Qui Zi Xuan a volleyball leader. The characters are very different but that way complete each other, which makes them great together. It's wonderful to see how Yu Hao falls for him, and eventually so does Zi Xuan. It's a great modern love story with also funny side characters. Totally worth the watch, need more seasons of them!
History3: Trapped has to be one of my ultimate tops. It's where police Meng Shao Feng falls in love with gang member Tang Yi with tragic past, having made mistakes for right reasons. The plot itself is very well written and interesting to keep you going with plot twist you don't see coming. It's great character chemistry from the start and Tang Yi's character development is incredible to the ending where I couldn't stop crying. I loved their "cat & mouse" game in the beginning and seeing how they grow from enemies to "half friends", friends and boyfriends. It has to be one of the best BL stories I have seen, and will be watching again.
