am glad that both Haruka & Hikaru r being forced into addressing their feelings. Shu & Mio r right in that accord - they need to face their feelings. even though personally i think they should take their time, to come to that conclusion all on their own. but it really bothers me that Haruka has gotten buddy buddy with Mio. ******************************************************************i know Haruka doesn't have friends, so Mio's overly pushy personality has basically pushed herself into Haruka's life & circle. but cause of how they met & the fact that Mio knew what she was doing, by contacting Keisuke while she knew he was dating Haruka. let alone playing innocent when she knew she was trying to rekindle sh*t - makes me dislike her & i would rather Haruka not be contact with her. but i guess she was needed to push Haruka into confronting her feelings. still don't like it or her much -

A Heart Torn by Rain and Memory

Episode 1 began like a puzzle of pain. Ice and Saint already knew each other, but the air between them was cold, sharp, and full of questions. What had broken them so deeply that even their eyes could no longer meet without trembling?Episode 2 unraveled that silence beautifully. The idea of the notebook, filled with Ice’s handwriting, his doodles, his quiet feelings captured on paper, became a window to their past. Through those pages, we saw how they met, how laughter once replaced the tears that now stained their memories. It was such a brilliant way to tell their story, love written in ink, now smudged by time and regret.Then came the heartbreak. Another father poisoned by homophobia, another wall built from cruelty. Ice arrived with a teddy bear, ready to congratulate Saint on his graduation, a small gesture but one filled with so much love. Yet, Saint’s father stopped him at the door, his words slicing through Ice like a blade: “Saint already has a girlfriend. Don’t come here again.”And just like that, the rain that once united them became the rain that washed Ice away. He walked home drenched not only in water but in sorrow. He never knew the truth, that Saint never had a girlfriend, that it was all a lie, a cruel misunderstanding that grew into tragedy.Ice’s pain runs deeper than the surface. A father who drank away his love, debts that chained his youth, and now, when he finally found someone to love, another father crushed that fragile hope to dust.But fate was not done tormenting him. The man who should have guided him, his professor, his mentor, betrayed him in the most unforgivable way. Drugged, violated, filmed. His innocence stolen and paraded before the world that chose to judge, not protect. Instead of justice, he was handed shame.Then came the final blow, his father’s death, the debt collectors’ cruelty. Forced into adult films, Ice’s body became currency, his soul left bleeding. Each night he closes his eyes only to face another nightmare, the same wounds replaying in the darkness.Yet fate, cruel as it may be, leaves a single thread of mercy. Ice finds himself sharing a room with Saint once more. Perhaps destiny is offering him one last chance, a chance for Saint to become the light that reaches through the cracks, to remind Ice that love still exists.Because sometimes, the most broken hearts are the ones most capable of love, if only someone is brave enough to hold them again. 💔

Explosive Start for a New Uni Enemies to Lovers BL

Yet another university enemies to lovers trope, but this one surprisingly starts with a big bang. I really enjoyed episode 1. There were no cringe moments or awkward background music like in many other uni BLs. The plot feels fresh and interesting, with the main couple already knowing each other and fate bringing them to share the same dorm room.I’m so used to seeing Ja paired with First, having watched three series with them, so it’s refreshing to see Ja (as Saint) acting alongside his new partner Tae (as Ice).Ice is cold, cocky, and incredibly talented. Can we take a moment to appreciate that he wrote and sang that song so beautifully? He can sing, play guitar, act, and he’s good-looking, a perfect match for Saint. Saint is gentle and caring, and it’s obvious he still has feelings for Ice. Their chemistry is electric. I loved the scene where Ice ate durian just to annoy Saint, yet Saint still washed and hung up his clothes. They’re practically living like a couple already.Their chemistry is off the charts, and I can’t wait to see their hearts slowly find their way back to each other. The first episode had it all: romance, comedy, tension, and great emotional build-up. My Wednesday nights are going to be fun with this series until January 2026.

Back to the future

For the most part I enjoyed this drama quite a bit. I did not always appreciate the Shen men because they were often silly and self absorbed, but when the chips were down they were loyal and brave. The women of the family were the heart and glue that kept their family together and inspired the dishes dad Shen cooked. I was less enthused that Lin Yan’s life was so hard from beginning to end because of that Prince and his scar faced son. He should have been allowed more joy in his life than they gave him. But I was able to set my grumpiness aside when I saw their meeting in the future. His smile at her said it all and everything that grieved me with his time in the past now pointed to a very promising and happy life in the future. He said her name, but I do wonder which name he had in the future? Would I watch this again? Most of it…I will speed along Shen father and son when they preen too much and the prince and his son’s machinations. But even with the tragic events that tore at my heart at the end, they left me with a smile and a contented heart that this time fate would be much kinder to them.

A Love That the World Wouldn’t Let Exist

Just finished episode 11, and my heart feels shattered.Two scenes tore me apart.The first was after the car accident. Prince Saenkaew’s father raised his gun at Sasin, and in that moment, Prince Saenkaew pressed a knife to his own throat — trembling, but resolute, saying that if Sasin died, he would too. It was love at its most desperate and doomed. He had no choice but to obey his father’s command and return home, leaving Sasin bleeding and broken behind him. Sasin’s wounds were not only from the crash but from watching the man he loved disappear before his eyes, powerless to stop him.Then there was Pin and her fragile dream, living in a fantasy built on denial. As a gay man, I know we do not choose this; we are born this way. Love cannot be forced, and desire cannot be bent into shape. Pin knew Prince Saenkaew’s heart would never belong to her, yet she clung to him and his crown like it could fill her emptiness. She cried, and though her pain was real, I could not pity her.And then came the gate scene, the one that left me hollow.Sasin travelled all the way from Bangkok to Chiang Mai just to see his prince once more.Prince Saenkaew: “Why did you come?”Sasin: “I came to get you. Come with me. Let’s run away together. Rachawadee will help us escape to Hua Hin. We can live on that island, you’ll fish, and I’ll play music for you. Do you remember?”Prince Saenkaew: “It’s too late. Everything has changed.”Sasin: “Nothing has changed. I still love you, and I know you still love me.”Prince Saenkaew: “What’s the use? Our love has no place in this world. It will only destroy you. We’ve lost. Go back.”Sasin: “No, we haven’t lost. Don’t give up yet.”Prince Saenkaew: “I already have. I’m begging you, don’t come back here again.”When Prince Saenkaew turned away, tears streaming down his face, it felt like the world stopped breathing. Sasin stood there, broken at the gate, his hope slipping through his fingers like sand.I can’t stop thinking about it. Only a few more hours until the finale is released with English subtitles, I’m waiting, heart in hand, fingers crossed for a happy ending.

Five Stars

Very funny but also very sad episode. It shows how the best for kids to overcome sometimes bad accidents is to have friend similar age who is just childish and think about playing and all that stuff so the sad kid can forget about problems.While I understand mother, since it's really hard to not think that maybe a son did sth, in the end it was her son, a child and he needed help also and his mother, but apparently nobody from his family cared about him, boy was all by himself and honestly they were lucky that he was strong enough to keep on living and doing all daily stuff like before.JuWon's father is literally a perfect person here, great father that cares about child that aren't evne his own, and he raised HaeJun also.Great introduction to drama and I cannot wait to see more.

How Mr. Shin pieces the evidence together

This episode was split between the cuteness of Si On and Philip and the threads of his son’s case and killer coming together to locate the mastermind. Si On has taken her GED and had a happy meal with Shin a Philip. They are sent on a quest to find Jang who has disappeared from his shop with no contact since. Catherine’s dad stole the bear that had flash drive, but other than that left his daughter be. He has used the evidence there to blackmail the medical director. When making the cash transaction he sensed he was being followed and gave Shin a call. Unfortunately killer slammed him with a car first. I cannot blame his ex for smiling in relief. That man caused her so much grief. Had he asked for the bear and reason why a decade ago, they all might be alive and well separately. What is to be determined is if the idiot brought the only flash drive with him or a copy. The director was all happy destroying the evidence and then Shin’s text pops up. He has one last kill to make to wrap things up and Shin has knocked him out. He now has to decide if he is gonna finish the guy off or let Choi do his job. I will get to find out next week.

yeah i said Keisuke was a good guy in the previous ep & he still is, but he is also thoughtless & kinda inconsiderate, taking advantage of Haruka's people pleasure personality. he knew she was head over heels for him & would never think to oppose or stand up to him. so am happy that by the end, she realized that she couldn't enable his inconsideration, towards her. or maybe it was also the realization that she felt more for Hikaru. ****************************************************************************either way am glad she put an end to that sh*t, sorry but the balls on Keisuke not only to stand her up, but then to tell his ex she could rely on them in the future - like WTF. if i was Haruka i would've lost my sh*t on the day he ran out. with all due respect to being in the big city all alone Keisuke wasn't just an ex, he had a gf - so Mio should've contacted the cops. that's their job. yeah that was whack... *********************************************************************************************************************btw is Shu infatuated with Hikaru?!? & as Hikaru is straight this gonna be an issue???? as there 6 ep more to go....
