Came for the Action, Stayed for the Laugh
In the midst of transition between Goryeo and Joseon era, a loyalist soldier Jang Sojeong became a traitor when he went against his commander (who turned to be the future first king of joseon) and had to become a bandit in the mountains. As he led his small army of ex-loyalist bandits, they came upon the news that the Royal Seal bestowed by the Ming Dynasty was swallowed up by a whale on its way back to Joseon and that the navy is searching for it. Seeing this as an opportunity to hold the seal hostage against his ex commander now king, he led his ragtag of mountain bandits to the sea in search for the whale, clashing against the pirate Captain Yeo Wol and her shipmates in their fight against former pirate Captain Soma and the Joseon Navy.The movie started off on a serious tone when ML had that fight against an army of soldiers during his mutiny, then that scene of Yeo Wol taking over the pirate ship after Soma decided to sell his men out to the Joseon Navy. I never thought this would turn out a comedy instead with the mountain bandits keep getting into mishaps in their efforts to hunt the whale. I laughed non stop, and the seasick pirate-turned-mountain bandit Chul-Bong who had to return to the sea when his chief decided to hunt a whale was the actual star of attraction. The mishaps that happened here looked so natural and fun. The waterwheel scene reminded me of the scene on Pirates of Caribbean though, they must have inspired by it cuz the similarity was too striking.
I love the FL Yeo Wol is such a badass that never really turn into damsel in distress for the sake of making the ML look cool. She has her own story, fights and make decisions that she doesnt falter from just because the ML hoodwinked her.
I love the ML too, he’s fun, he’s tough and he’s a gentleman enough for a bandit. Love seeing his banter with his banditmates. Psst, he’s good looking too!
The ending is somewhat depressing for the whale, but a good ending for the mainleads. Each had their revenge exacted the way they wanted it.

Never Ending Summer (炽夏)
The best drama ever in 2026, their chemistry is very good, a very romantic drama and a love full of struggle with a happy ending. Really liked the couple Zhou Keyu and Bao Shang En. Hopefully they will be reunited in another very good drama too....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The pioneering work of the Thai GL TV series worth watch again and again
The pioneering work of the Thai GL TV series was able to completely open up the commercial market due to the unparalleled chemistry between the main characters and the deep and delicate love they shared. It inspired everyone to hold on to their love. Viewers who had similar experiences were moved to tears and thanked the show for showing them the possibility of achieving something beautiful. If you watch this series, you will understand why it became a pioneering work. Although the acting skills of the actors were a bit immature, the extreme tension compensated for this, and it is worth repeated appreciation.Was this review helpful to you?
The biggest issue for me was IU's character. Instead of being a charming female lead, she came across as simply unlikeable. I kept waiting for the moment I'd understand or root for her, but it never really happened.
Even more disappointing was the chemistry—or rather, the lack of it. For a romance, chemistry is everything, and I just didn't feel it between IU and Byeon Woo-seok's characters. Individually, they're both charismatic actors, but together, something just didn't click. Ironically, the premise wasn't the problem. I love this kind of story. The actors weren't the problem either. On paper, Perfect Crown had everything I usually look for in a rom-com. It just never came together in a way that made me want to keep watching.

Well-Researched, Yet...
I can tell the director put a lot of effort into researching this series. The behind-the-scenes documentation of the production made me expect that the Catholic aspects would be handled with care, and for the most part, they were. That said, the one thing that kept bothering me was the ordination timeline. I genuinely thought the one who was going to be ordained was BarthTanrak's adopted son (I was assuming they adopted a child or maybe children), but it turned out to be Kongdech instead. I know there's no maximum age for ordination in the Catholic Church, and people can certainly become priests later in life. But speaking about what's usually the case, someone who enters the seminary after high school would normally be ordained in their mid-20s. A "20 years later" ordination puts Kongdech around his mid-30s, and the series never really gives us a reason why his formation would have taken that much longer. It's not impossible—it just felt a little off.Another tiny thing that lowkey annoyed me was: Tanrak sighs. A lot. Like... "hhhheuy." Every. Single. Time. I kept thinking, "Is your life really that heavy, nhoo?"
Moving on to the good stuff. The idea, the plot, and the execution are genuinely great. What I loved the most was Barth's backstory. His struggle with God wasn't only because "I'm gay, therefore I hate God." It went much deeper than that, which made his character so much more compelling.
And lastly, thank you, Gemini, for bringing back crying with snot. That is, unironically, my gold standard for a convincing crying scene.

The wonderfools is an absolute masterpiece
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 10/10! The Wonderfools is an absolute masterpiece. The perfect mix of mystery, action, comedy, suspense, and heartfelt emotions. Cha Eun-woo delivered a powerful, natural, and emotional performance. His acting was natural, powerful, and emotionally convincing. He portrayed his character with remarkable depth, expressing every emotion with sincerity and making every scene feel authentic. Whether the moment required intensity, vulnerability, humor, or determination, he handled it brilliantly. This is undoubtedly one of his strongest performances, showcasing his growth and versatility as an actor.The entire cast was outstanding. Highly recommended! ❤️Was this review helpful to you?
The first Thai GL series that hooked me
Gap the series thank you for changing my life.I used to watch other gl series until my screen hits me with 2 most beautiful ladies. I instantly loved them and the chemistry, the boss-employee relationship, the jealousy, the everything was on point. Freen and Becky have insane talent that with their looks only you can't help it but fall in love with them. The series was so good that i keep longing for them to starr together in another series because the amount of times that i keep watching the gap the series was insane.Was this review helpful to you?

Series with no storyline and worst acting
I wasted my time watching this series thinking may be there I see something good. The actong was awful. The story was ok in the start but it was extended for 14 episode. Seriously? It made no sense. Felt nothing relatable in this series. Would never watch it again. I wish I could Give Zero!I watched it because I liked the cast and story of TSOU. But it was a total waste.

Harmony Secret: Imperfect, Devious, and One of My Favourite GLs Anyway
Harmony Secret might be a show with notable flaws, and yet it's captivating in a way that shows which seem more polished on paper often struggle to reach.Do I even need to mention LMSY's chemistry? At this point I think we all know it's undeniable. Even in Harmony Secret, where the director clearly held them back at times, they still radiate on screen. The story's high stakes, while messy, keep you tuning in episode after episode. Characters occasionally do out of character things purely to keep the plot moving, and the significant departures from the novel, while raising the stakes on paper, weren't always executed in ways that made narrative sense. Even so, it remained genuinely captivating throughout.
It's also clear this show had a solid budget behind it, with high end production and design on full display. There's a lot to critique in how messily the source material was adapted, and the director clearly didn't fully understand female intimacy for a predominantly female audience. That said, the direction elsewhere is very pretty, and it's obvious this director does have real vision, though it feels like a vision that would probably shine even more in a het drama than in a GL. The show is visually striking, with high stakes and leads who are genuinely mesmerising to watch.
Sadly, the secondary couple were given such low effort that I'm not entirely sure why they were included at all. That's not a knock on the actresses, who did what they could with what they were given, but it never became a love story worth caring about. The screen time spent on them, when the main couple's romance could have used more room to breathe, leaves you wishing the secondary couple simply hadn't been added. It didn't elevate the story, didn't give that pairing a strong entry point into GL, and left the main couple with less time to develop fully.
Overall, still one of my favourite GLs of all time, and that's probably because the original story was such a strong foundation. Even with its issues, combined with LMSY's chemistry, the show remains deviously entertaining week after week.

Best Period Series you'll watch, Even though usually I don't like Period Series at all
At first I was sceptical because it was period series and I don't like such series.

One of my all time favorite Series now. What a beautiful Series. I Love Anin's Character. Everyone deserve a person who love like Anin. Pin's character is very much relatable. The Story Line is so good. I've lost the count of rewatching it. I know I'm never gonna get Anin Pin again. I miss you Anin Pin 🥹 This series has everything you can wish for.Was this review helpful to you?

Dangerous Queen: An Impressive Debut, Growing Pains and All
Dangerous Queen was a genuinely impressive watch. There were a few extra subplots that occasionally pulled focus from the central couple, but honestly, that's a minor quibble against what is an incredible achievement from 24 year old Nur, who not only stars as Babe but is also CEO of S.Nur Entertainment, the studio behind Dangerous Queen. For a first outing from such a young creative, this is nothing short of remarkable, and she deserves real praise for pulling it off.The chemistry between TKNur is completely undeniable, and it's easily one of the show's biggest strengths. The visuals are superb too, with Queen and Babe each given such distinctive, well considered looks that you can feel the care the stylist put into every frame. Queen in particular stands out. TK, only 22 and a newcomer at the time, took on a dominant, aura heavy character built almost entirely on presence rather than dialogue, a "actions speak louder than words" type role, and she delivered on it beautifully, which is genuinely impressive for a first major role.
Nur choosing to put herself in the uke role says a lot about how deeply she understood the material and exactly what she wanted Queen to be. Plenty of people in her position, with the freedom to choose either role, would have gravitated toward the seme part. Nur set ego aside and made the choice that best served the story, which speaks to real creative maturity.
The show could have tightened up some of the extra plotting to give the main couple's love story even more room to fully land, and a few editing and direction choices could have been sharper, but these are the kind of growing pains you'd expect from a first project, not dealbreakers. If anything, they make what Nur accomplished here even more impressive. I'm genuinely excited for her next Dangerous Queen project, and it's clear from this first outing that she's already taken the feedback on board and is developing what promises to be an even stronger second instalment.

More Than a Romance: Where the Chemistry Meets the Craft
Everything about this show was meticulously considered and beautifully executed by Snap25. The chemistry between JanJingJing is genuinely top tier, the kind that elevates every scene they share, whether it's a charged workplace standoff or a quiet, vulnerable moment between them.What impressed me most was how well the show balanced its stakes. Each episode held its own tension while never losing sight of the two overarching threads: Lal and Wine's careers hanging in the balance, and the very real emotional threat Korn posed to Wine. That layering kept the story propulsive without ever feeling scattered. The ending is deeply satisfying, and even the finale itself keeps you hooked, desperate to see them finally happy and settled into their dating era after everything they went through to get there.
Production wise, this is a masterclass. Styling, editing, cinematography, all outstanding, and it shows in how consistently polished the show looks and feels across all ten episodes. Over that run, I stayed completely invested not just in Lal and Wine's central relationship, but in Wine's personal struggles and trauma, which were handled with real care rather than used as cheap drama.
The side couple could have used a touch more screen time, admittedly, though I understand the choice not to take that time away from LalWine's story. If anything, it suggests the show might have benefited from twelve episodes rather than ten to give the side story room to breathe. That said, LalWine's arc itself felt completely well rounded at ten episodes, so I don't think their story needed the extra length.
Overall, this is a GL not to miss.
And don't sleep on the OST. Five songs, each one thoughtfully tied into the show's visual language. There are two duets from JanJingJing carrying two distinct emotional registers, plus two solo tracks linked by a striking orange motif that threads through both JingJing's and Jan's individual music videos, watch for the orange rolling out of frame in one and rolling back into frame in the other. Even the side couple gets their own song. This is a show that clearly put real thought into its supplementary content, not just the drama itself.
