*taps chin contemplatively* Hmmmm...

This is yet another show that took over my Twitter feed for weeks and has (as of now) very high ratings, but I just seem to be on the other side of the majority.

👻Let's start with the good👻

1. Arthit's r/ship with Direk - If there's one thing that Thai BLs will give you, it's a shitty dad. They are a dime a dozen. Out here, like they are trying to win 'worst BL dad of the genre' or something. That's why it was so refreshing to see how healthy and utterly unserious the relationship between this father and son was. Please, can we get more of this? I'm tired of all the a-holes.

2. This gave me 'Semantic Error' vibes in a couple of ways
a. Daotok reminds me of Chu Sang U. He is very robotic, especially in those beginning episodes. He seems to have a bit of a hard time peopling and a harder one understanding Arthit

b. How Arthit pursues Daotok. He lowkey basically annoys him into liking him. Which is what Jae Yeong did to bag Sang U. It wasn't on the same level, of course, but Arthit took a page from Jae Yeong's book. I like this version of pursuing what is basically a spicy street cat in human form. You have to be willing to annoy them and push boundaries (knowing that it will earn you some scratches) if you want them to notice and keep noticing you.

3. The relationship development in episodes 4-6 - This is where their relationship, the slowburn as it is, shines the best.

4. That NC scene - Who directed that shit? And can we have them coordinate more scenes in the future? Coz Holy Shit... Lemme not say more on this very public platform.

5. Solid friend groups for both characters

👻What Could've Been Done Better👻

1. The 1st 3 episodes - The pacing is off, and overall, doesn't add much to the plot or the overall plot. Perhaps, you could argue that it helps introduce us to Daotok's powers and helps with forced proximity between the characters. I'll agree with you that it's true.
But the fact that each episode is about an hour long, and we don't really get to see much of Daotok's power after ep 3 (I think), and the girl from jail ups and disappears until she's needed for some sleuthing later, it overall feels like a waste of time.
Maybe they didn't have enough material to fill 8 episodes and chose to drag this out. Or maybe they did, but chose the wrong thing. IDK, I haven't read the novel.

2. Arthit's behaviour in that living room scene in Ep 6 - I have no idea where that behaviour change came from. He'd been such a respectful green flag in the r/ship, then all over sudden.... TF? That kiss and the reasoning behind it weren't it. It reminded me of those Korean manhwas that start so healthy, genuine, and respectful, then, for some unknown hellish reason, the author decides that s*xual assault is what the story needs. Their makeup after that was really cute, but I'm sure they could have done quite literally anything else to bring them closer. Not this predatory act

3. Ep 7 & 8 - More pacing issues. And the absurdity of the choice to include a random shooting? It reminded me of those useless 3rd act break-up scenes. Where the author or screenwriter is like, 'Ah, they are doing too good and too happy right now. Let's include some drama.' And now, as the reader/viewer, I'm stuck wondering where all the unnecessary drama came from.
The shooting incident didn't even add anything to any relationship. Daotok had already accepted being with Arthit. He didn't need this random occurrence to make him 'realize' his feelings for the man, or whatever point they were trying to make

Overall, I'd say that this is fine. While the pair is cute together (I really enjoyed how cute n needy Arthit became once he started pursuing Dao), the overarching story itself leaves much to be desired. What had the potential to be good is ruined by pacing issues and side quests that could have been done and over within 2 episodes, tops.

Random (unrelated) thoughts
i. I could not help but wow at how beautifully their skintones contrasted. Generally, BLs love that (slightly) tan topXpale bottom thing. I usually notice it as like a footnote in my head, but it doesn't stand out to me. Maybe this time it stood out coz of how deeply(?) tan Ngern is. I pray that that man never touches skin-lightening products

ii. If Ngern and Joss Way-ar ever took a gym pic together while flexing those biceps, shoulders, and thighs, I would potentially, spontaneously combust. May the gyms in Thailand remain open, and may these two never stop going

A powerful drama—beautiful, heartbreaking, and perfect.

Honestly, I can’t understand why people are rooting for the male lead…

I really like the actor, but his character is unacceptable. Come on—he’s a drug trafficker. Yes, he got involved to save the woman he loves, but that doesn’t justify anything. He wants to save his family, his beloved—fine—but what about everyone else?

How many lives has he destroyed through drugs? How many families has he harmed?

I cannot accept it, I do not forgive it, and I will not excuse it.

I hope he and his girlfriend are arrested and pay for their crimes—which are far from minor.

That said, the drama itself is good. I’m enjoying it. I do recommend it.


Final thoughts (05/05/26)

Reaffirming what I said before: they should have paid for their crimes, especially drug trafficking.

I feel sorry for the fans, but I believe this was the best possible ending.

A powerful drama—beautiful, heartbreaking, and perfect.

Here is the revised version with the adjustment, keeping your tone and meaning intact:

My favorite character was Hong Bin, without a doubt. A truly remarkable human being—exemplary and deserving of all the recognition. To me, no one suffered as much as he did. Letting his own son go to his death requires far more than courage… I don’t know if I would have even a fraction of his conviction, bravery, and selflessness. It was deeply painful to watch.

My second favorite character was Chen Hui. Xu Kai brought to life an unforgettable character—gentle where he could be, reckless when pushed, intelligent until confronted by his own nature. Brilliant. If this were a revenge drama, I would definitely root for him. But here, much closer to real life, I cannot forgive him. He chose the worst path. He involved innocent people, destroyed his family, and ultimately couldn’t even uphold his own love.

Outstanding. 10/10, without a doubt. A great drama.

I loved it.

Worth the wait!!

I have been waiting for this drama cuz of Jiarui, Yan-an, and Duling after FOF, but everyone was just so good with their characters that I feel in love with it. I really enjoyed every bit of it, and it was worth all the wait!! It's literally a masterpiece for me like pls everything was mind-blowing, and just literally wow!! "Ruirui" had me giggling as "Ji Ling", but he made me cry too like please I love his tiny face, and adorable smile so much!!

(ps: recently lost interest in costume dramas, so I was literally skipping all new ones no matter how much I looked forward to it earlier, but this one brought my Xianxia and Wuxia heart back to life, keke)

7/10 Good BL

The Story of Bi Hyeong: Enchanted Master of the Goblin
- REVIEW
First, I began this series twice, wasn't sooo hooked feeling as an okay story, I know binged it from 3 to 12 the entire day.
I wonder and ask you: does it sometimes make a difference how much you like a series based on watching it weekly or binge? Because honestly, I felt like I liked series more when I could watch it in a few days and not live week per week.
Actually I really dislike this, unless some really unique STORY beside the BL happens, like now with "Goddess bless you from Death" with PavelPooh, because the ghost story keeps me remembering it a week pause more.
Strangely this series had a bit a vibe usually from Thai series, more fun or lighthearted despite the series ongoings.
I thought the two MCs and the side couple were interesting, especially Geum Bok playing the constantly "innocent maiden" in need of help. Only when he played the superstar at the end for a bit you could see he really can play more, which is an opportunity we rarely get in series. The Goblin King Bi Hyeong played the role okay, but he could have shown a bit more emotion. No crying, and the love scenes between them where a bit superficial, not sooo much like being crazy in love. I really loved Geum Bok's deep voice.
Settings, scenery and music were all well, though no really memorable places like from other series. Mixing mystic/ magic into a BL - or generally anything other than "just" BL - is always a very welcome bonus to me. The end leaves a few questions open, like Geum Bok being mortal and ageing and that evil "dragon guy"; are they hoping for a Second Season? Personally I am not sure the series is THAT great that I am much longing for one. I think of "Pit Babe" which was basically a closed story and while it was really good, the 2nd season felt a bit tacked on. So 1 am not sure if we really need one?
It was nice, definitely memorable, I had a good time, but as you know l use the full 1-10 spectrum, I still believe it a good series when I say it was a
7/10
I know in film and gaming the rating is now different like 7 is bad and 6 is abysmal, but I stick to the old full 10 star idea where a 5/10 would still be halfway good and reserve 8-10 for really breathtaking series, otherwise if everything is 10 (as in many user reviews on the websites) 10 loses its meaning, so don't regard this as a harsh rating.

Second time is a charm

I am still watching this drama and honestly finding it a bit hard, but I will persevere. I read the reviews and I accept that everyone is entitled to their opinion. It frustrates me that some reviewers are criticising the FL on her acting and outfits, do they not realise that these are decided on by the writers, directors and stylist, they are actors and must do as they are directed. As for the stylist, I don’t really like the outfits on any of the actors, the ML mother for example, what on earth have they got her dressed it? The split either side of the dresses are too high up , in my opinion too revealing for a woman of her age. As I’ve said I will persevere and hope it gets better.

One of the best enemies to lovers stories ever!

Honestly, I don't even know where to start with this drama! It was perfection, from start to finish! Lu Yuxiao and Hou Minghao's chemistry was literally off the charts in this, and I also adored the side characters in this drama as well.

I also loved that some of them got their happy ending <3 This drama had me giggling and kicking my feet at how utterly shameless Ming Yi and Ji Bozai are, but also had me bawling my eyes out at the angst! The angst was so heart wrenching, and I hope that Lu Yuxiao and Hou Minghao got their flowers for how incredible their acting was! Lu Yuxiao is a phenomenal actress, and the way that she acts in sad scenes??? SO GOOD!! like you can feel every emotion :(( and Hou Minghao??

The way that he's able to express so many emotions with just his eyes is honestly insane. He didn't always have to show his emotions outwardly on his face, because his eyes honestly did a lot of the work. You could just feel and see all the emotions in just his eyes alone. He's so expressive!

The love story between Yan Xiao and Mu Tian Ji (the Princess of Jixing Abyss) was also so beautiful?? Their story honestly had me in tears, and the angst between them was equally as devastating as Ming Yi and Ji Bozai's! Their love was so beautiful, and I honestly really enjoyed seeing their chemistry as well <3

Oh and Situ Ling..... man I have never felt so conflicted over a villian before. He was honestly so freaking sweet and cute but I kinda hate that they made him turn evil. I really wish he didn't turn evil, because I think that there was so much wasted potential with his character.

Overall, this drama had me bawling my eyes out and it devastated me in every way, but the ending was so worth it!! The ending is literally so freaking amazing and I loved how it ended <3

10/10 Insanely Good

10/10 Insanely Good
I genuinely loved Punks Triangle! It's pure gold-fresh, breathtaking, and brilliantly executed. The concept is unique, and it's one of those BLs that keeps you engaged from start to finish.
The story follows Chiaki, a reserved and awkward guy who's passionate about fashion and inspired by someone. The plot is simple, yet it manages to feel distinct. Chiaki finds himself torn between Enaga and EA, only to discover that they're the same person. He meets Enaga at fashion school where they become project partners. There's a reason EA needs to hide his identity, but I won't say more-you'll have to watch it yourself to avoid spoilers.
The chemistry between the leads is palpable, and the height difference is absolutely adorable. Honestly, I loved everything about this series-from the acting and cinematography to the plot, character development, and even the soundtrack. Every song perfectly matches the mood of each scene.
If I could rate it 10000/10, I absolutely would. Overall, Punks Triangle is a masterpiece and a must-watch.

secretaris bos lagi nih

Kalau kamu lagi cari drakor romance yang ringan, minim konflik ribet, dan cocok buat santai-santai, ini bisa jd pilihan. Tapi… let’s be real, this one is kinda hit or miss. Awalnya aku kira bakal dapet cerita yang deep dan bikin baper parah, tapi ternyata drama ini tuh lebih fokus ke romance dibanding konflik eksternal. Masalahnya? Konfliknya sendiri menurut aku ngga bikin penasaran. Nah, masuk ke bagian romance… jujur ya, ini slow burn tapi bukan yang bikin deg-degan, lebih ke “loh ini kapan sih mulainya beneran?” Kayak butuh belasan episode dulu baru semuanya ke-reveal, dan pas akhirnya ketahuan… hmm, not as impactful as I expected. Kurang greget, kurang boom, kurang bikin “OMG FINALLY!!”
sekarang bahas chemistry.
honestly, i’m not fully convinced. Kayak nggak kerasa banget vibe “in love”nya. Apalagi karena si female lead mainin dua karakter (Gal Hee & Veronica Park), jadi malah berasa hubungan mereka tuh kayak… fake? Bukan fake sih, tapi lebih ke nggak natural. kaya Min Ik jatuh cinta ke persona, bukan ke orangnya. that kinda ruins the emotional depth for me.

Terus ya, aku juga agak gemes (read: kesel) sama Gal Hee. kenapa sih vibesnya selalu grasak-grusuk?? ke kantor rambut berantakan, cardigan warna ngejreng… girl this is OFFICE. Padahal waktu dia jadi Veronica Park kaya WOW?? GORGGG. Literally beda level. Jadi makin bingung, kenapa pas jadi sekretaris dia kaya ya gitu. Dan satu lagi ini yang paling ngeselin, dia tuh tiap kali bilang “aku bakal jujur besok”… BUT GIRL IT NEVER HAPPENS. Kaya yaudah lah ya, dari awal juga udah ketebak bukan dia yang bakal ngaku, pasti ketahuan sendiri sama bosnya. Classic drama move.

untuk Min Ik… hmm, aku ngga punya banyak komentar sih. cuma satu, where is the love in your eyes, brok??? tatapan cintanya tuh kurang dapet aja, jadi makin nambah alasan kenapa chemistry mereka terasa flat.

nah, yang justru aku suka malah Veronica Park yang asli. she’s annoying in a chaotic way, tapi juga somehow lovable. cuma ya itu, agak kesel juga waktu dia maksa Gal Hee buat lanjut bohong. like girl… you could’ve helped her come clean instead??

Male second lead? Meh. Not bad, not great. Just there. NPC energy dikit

Drama ini worth it kalau kamu lagi butuh tontonan yang ringan, santai, dan nggak terlalu mikir. Tapi kalau kamu cari romance yang intense, penuh chemistry, dan bikin nangis atau senyum-senyum sendiri… this might not be your cup of tea.

Irmandade, família, ação e muita pancadaria

A 2ª temporada de Cães de Caça (lançada na Netflix em abril de 2026) acompanha Gun-woo e Woo-jin enfrentando o violento vilão Baek-jeong (Rain), que comanda a Iron Knuckle Fighting Championship (IKFC), uma liga clandestina de boxe na dark web. Após o sucesso, os protagonistas são alvo dessa organização, forçando-os a lutar para proteger as pessoas que amam.

O que falar desta nova temporada ? Produção excelente, trama envolvente com protagonistas muito carismáticos, sem contar que é um K-drama para aqueles que querem 0% romance na história. E o im Baek Joong ? Que cara mais desgraçado e sangue frio, o Rain interpretou tão bem o personagem que eu fiquei P da vida que ele não morreu no final, isso pode ser sinal para uma 3 temporada, até porque o Gunwoo sentiu que o Baek Joong poderia vir atrás deles de novo. Woojin e Gunwoo estavam excelentes nessa temporada, foi tanta pancadaria que tive até medo de um deles bater as botas haaha ou até mesmo a mãe do Gunwoo, mas no final deu tudo certo.

Mature and healthy love <3

This drama has by far one of the healthiest relationships I have ever seen! Yu Tu and Jing Jing are two people who are mature and also respect each other so deeply. I watched this drama in 2021.

The slow burn was kind of excruciating, but it was so worth it in the end! I absolutely loved how they were able to reconnect, even after years without seeing each other. Their relationship is just so beautiful to me, as they are able to focus on themselves while also being in a committed relationship. Even though they spend a lot of time apart, their love and trust for one another doesn't ever falter.
