Finished Heesu in Class 2 – A Beautiful Journey, But Let’s Not Give Up on It Yet
Heesu in Class 2 is truly one of the best BLs I’ve watched. The story is soft, emotional, and the chemistry between Heesu and Seungwon feels genuine and natural. It perfectly captures the quiet yet profound confusion of a teenage boy. I felt so connected to Heesu through his introspective moments.However, there is one significant issue: the straight couple.
Instead of focusing primarily on the main couple (Heesu and Seungwon), the show spends too much time on a romance between a boy and a girl. While their story isn't bad, it takes away from the true focus. At times, it feels like their relationship is taking the lead, leaving us with only brief moments of the actual BL story.
It’s frustrating because Heesu and Seungwon have so much potential. Every scene with them is meaningful, yet it never feels like enough. I honestly believe the straight couple deserves their own separate spin-off.
Despite this, I urge viewers to stick with the series. I was frustrated with episode 9, but the emotional confession scene in episode 10 was a moment of redemption, long overdue. The awkward yet beautiful dating moments that followed left me yearning for more.
Please don’t give up on this series. If we show our support, the production team may take notice and give us the Season 2 we deserve, with Heesu and Seungwon as the main focus. Their story deserves the spotlight.

Lost in the Woods – A Seriously Underrated BL Gem
I don’t even know how to explain how good Lost in the Woods is—it just hits different. The nature setting? Stunning. Every scene feels peaceful and refreshing, like you're also escaping into the forest with the characters. And the soundtrack? So, so good. I didn’t dare skip the end credits because the OST is just that amazing. It really sets the mood, and I even replayed a few episodes just for the music.The story has a slowburn feel, but it doesn’t drag at all. Even when things aren’t focused on the romance, you’ll still be hooked by everything else happening—like the wildlife, the quiet moments, and the message about nature and conservation. It’s really unique compared to other BLs I’ve seen.
Fifa starts out a bit annoying and immature, but you’ll see his growth throughout the series, and it makes you root for him. Hem, on the other hand, is more reserved and closed off, clearly dealing with pain from his past. But little by little, you’ll see him start to open up, thanks to Fifa. Their bond is slow and soft, but very real.
If I had to complain about one thing, it’s how short the series is. Only 7 episodes! I wish there was more time to really get to know the characters even better. It had so much potential to be longer, but they did a good job with what they had.
As an international viewer, I feel like it wasn’t promoted well at all. I just randomly found it, and honestly, I’m so glad I did. It’s a hidden gem and I feel like one of the lucky few who discovered it early.
If you’re into BLs that are calm, heartfelt, and set in nature, give Lost in the Woods a try. It deserves way more love.

Make It Right 2026: Something Just Isn’t Clicking ?
Okay, I’ll be honest: I watched the 2016 Make It Right, and I wasn’t exactly head-over-heels in love with it. But after watching the 2026 adaptation, I’m starting to appreciate the original more because, for me, it was more engaging.First, I really don’t think the casting is the problem. The new cast is young, good-looking, and I can see the potential. They’re also new to the industry, and most of them are playing teenagers, so obviously there will be some awkwardness. That part I can understand and I’m willing to give them time to grow.
My problem is more with how the scenes are being put together.
Sometimes it feels like the scenes are just being thrown at us randomly. There isn’t always a smooth flow from one scene to another, so I find myself wondering, “Wait, how did we get here?” It just doesn’t feel very cohesive.
There was even a scene where it was supposed to be a weekend, but you could clearly see students in uniforms in the background. Of course, maybe they had special classes or whatever, but little things like that make the whole thing feel a bit messy.
And now we’re already on Episode 4, but I honestly feel like the story is barely moving. It’s starting to feel stagnant and, unfortunately, a little boring. I keep waiting for that moment where things finally pick up, but I’m still waiting.
I’ve also noticed that I don’t see that many edits or clips from this series compared to other shows airing right now. Of course, that doesn’t automatically mean the series is doing badly, but it does make me wonder if other viewers are also struggling to find something that really grabs them.
And there are other ongoing high school series right now that are doing this kind of story really well. So I know the setting itself isn’t the problem. It’s really more about the execution.
Even Love Sick's 2024 adaptation was pretty well received, which shows that older stories can still be remade successfully when the adaptation feels fresh and well put together.
That being said, I genuinely want this series to do well. I feel bad being too harsh because you can tell the cast is putting effort into it. They’re young, they’re still learning, and hopefully they’ll become more comfortable with their characters as the series progresses.
So I’m really hoping the succeeding episodes will pick up because I WANT to like this. I want the cast to succeed, and I want all the effort they’re putting into this to pay off.
For now, though, I have to say… I wasn’t even that obsessed with the 2016 version, but somehow I’m sitting here thinking, “You know what? The original was better.”
Hopefully, Make It Right 2026 proves me wrong in the next few episodes. Please let them peak because I’m still rooting for these kids.

Red Flags, Crime, Romance, and Way Too Much Eye Candy
I love that Ash went straight into the romance aspect from the first two episodes. There was no dragging things out, and that kiss? FIRE. The chemistry between the leads is already so good, and I’m really happy that they’re not taking forever to get to the romance, especially since the series only has 9 episodes. There’s really no time for endless will-they-won’t-they moments, misunderstandings, and unnecessary slow burns. I’d rather have them get straight into the relationship and actually give us enough time to see it develop alongside the main plot.Speaking of the plot, I’m really interested in how they’re combining romance with a crime thriller. It makes the story more exciting because there’s obviously more going on beyond their relationship. I’m especially curious about the CEO (I honestly still have a hard time pronouncing his name) because from the clips, it seems like he might be connected to a syndicate or something bigger. I have no idea how this is going to end, especially with the other main lead being a police officer, but I’m crossing my fingers for a happy ending!
I also love the red-flag vibes of both of them, especially the CEO. Like, sir, you really just cannot help yourself, can you? There’s something so entertaining about watching two questionable people get involved with each other while there’s an actual crime plot happening in the background.
But honestly, the biggest highlight of this series is HOW GOOD-LOOKING THE ENTIRE CAST IS. The main leads, the supporting characters. Everyone is a feast for the eyes. It feels like they deliberately gathered every good-looking person they could find and put them in one series.
The only thing I’m not really a fan of is how some scenes or maybe it’s the editing/video quality make the series look a little too AI-generated. Even the male leads look so unreal that I literally had to search them up because I was wondering if they were actually real actors or just AI-generated characters. They have that same unreal, overly-perfect look you see in those AI short videos.
Overall, I’m really enjoying Ash so far. The romance is already giving, the crime-thriller element makes the story interesting, the characters are walking red flags, and the cast is ridiculously attractive. I’m definitely curious to see where they take the story, especially with only 9 episodes. Hopefully they keep the pacing like this, give us more of that chemistry, and most importantly… PLEASE LET THEM HAVE A HAPPY ENDING. 🙏

A Bold Start: Revenged Love Brings BL Drama to Life Despite the Odds
First of all, big respect to the team behind Revenged Love for being able to make this series happen, especially with China’s strict rules on BL shows. It’s not easy to create a story like this, but they did it—and it shows.The show is well cast, and both the main couple and the second couple have great chemistry. You can really feel the connection between them. The funny scenes are also a nice touch and make the show more enjoyable to watch.
What I didn’t like were the scenes with snakes (I’m not a fan!) and the way the main lead, Chi Cheng, acts like a criminal or mafia boss. It feels a bit too much sometimes and makes his character harder to like.
Still, the first four episodes look very promising. The story is interesting, the acting is good, and it’s surprising to know the series will have 24 episodes. I really hope it won’t be banned or cut short like some other BL shows in China.
If it keeps going strong, Revenged Love could become one of the best Chinese BL dramas this year!
