Great storytelling.

Some stories ask you to choose a side. Ticket to Heaven asks you to understand everyone.

What could have easily become a simple story about religion versus love is instead a thoughtful exploration of two young men trying to make sense of the lives they've inherited. The series never mocks faith, nor does it treat love as something that needs to be justified. It simply asks what happens when both are equally real to the same person.

Barth and Tanrak are among the most beautifully written characters I've seen in years. Their relationship is built on patience, trust, reassurance, and genuine affection. Even in their most painful moments, you never question how deeply they love each other.

Gemini delivers the performance of his career, while Fourth once again proves why he's one of the finest young actors working today. Together, they create something that feels effortless and unforgettable.

What stayed with me most wasn't the heartbreak, it was the kindness. The quiet conversations, the moments of understanding, the willingness to listen, and the hope that love doesn't have to come at the cost of losing yourself.

By the time the credits rolled, it no longer felt like I had watched a television series. It felt like I had known Barth and Tanrak.

That, to me, is the mark of truly great storytelling.

Everyone must watch it to enjoy the lovely moments

I have watched so many dramas… but Never Ending Summer (2026) hit me in a completely different way. 🌅

This is not just a love story — it’s a journey of first love, heartbreak, memories, and the kind of emotions that stay with you for a long time. The way the story moves from youthful innocence to mature love makes it feel so real and deeply relatable.

Every episode pulled me deeper into its world. Once I entered, coming out felt almost impossible. The calm, dreamy vibe, the emotions, and the connection between the characters made me feel like I was living inside a never-ending summer.

Even after finishing it, I still feel like I’m stuck in that world… like a beautiful dream I don’t want to wake up from. 💭✨

This drama didn’t just entertain me — it stayed with me. ❤️

It began well but fell terribly.

I thought Lu Feng's character was a green flag until he grew up and constantly pressured sexual interaction on Yi Chen (Xiao Chen). Even when they were studying, the first time Lu Feng initiated, Yi Chen was dubious and so young. Yi Chen wasn't willing one hundred percent. He's new and, agreeably, needs time to process queer fantasies.
However, the way the entire show proceeded to telecast Lu Feng's toxic masculinity and repetitive rape scenes on Yi Chen, where the latter becomes a victim of Stockholm syndrome, made this show super irritating.

To be frank, I felt Yi Chen always looked spaced out. Or as if feeling confused and sometimes nothing at all. His expressions made me not engage.

I didn't understand Yi Chen's brother's character. Although he has hidden the fact of Lu Feng writing a message to Yi Chen and asking to wait for him, he has asked Qin Lang to be his brother's boyfriend out of guilt(?). So that his brother would be happy?
This plotline truly intrigued me with the way the brother evolved from the young, straight foreigner to the rainbow community and became a part of them. Tried my best to engage with the drama he built for his brother, but it felt too toxic to hide given how he once was and still kept certain things unapologetically.
All three had suffered for his dumb act, but perhaps his young age could be given as his excuse in his defense.

Later on, the episodes seemed like a rabbit hole with Lu Feng keep circling and Yi Chen's trust and heart broken once again. Perhaps, once broken, nothing can be revived again fully.

Lu Feng broke Yi Chen's brother's leg and made the latter's mother get a heart attack. Hurt Yi Chen himself too many times. This felt crappy to the point that I didn't understand where the show was leading. Nobody's in the show; no character seemed to have a thought to talk things out, clear things up, or have some self-respect.

The only character that I could like was Qin Lang and his relation with Yi Chen's brother. At least they developed and grew together to be a healthy, understanding couple despite issues.

As though I didn't like the concept of how Lu Feng's whole personality issue—possessive, obsessive, a liar, and a stalker—was nullified/labeled for his health condition, but that was what made sense. He was indeed sick. and deserved SPECIAL HEALTH TREATMENT.

The realest and most satisfactory lines in the whole show:
"After how he treated you, do you have no self-respect?" - Yi Chen's brother to Yi Chen

"If you really love Yichen, can you learn to respect him a little? Haven't you learned your lesson after all these years?" - Qin Lang to Lu Feng

The quality of the show was extremely mesmerizing, but the plot was just meh!

No unnecessary drama and twists, it’s simply cute

The whole simulation dating app idea was pretty genius and gave the story such a fresh, modern vibe. More importantly, the writers understood exactly what kind of drama they wanted to be: a light, fun 10-episode rom-com that doesn’t drag unnecessary angst for 16 episodes straight.

The drama didn’t try to force deep trauma plots or shocking twists just for emotional impact. Instead, it gave us just enough to understand Mirae, her fears and the effect her past relationship had on her without making the entire story emotionally exhausting. I’d rather watch a drama that stays simple and consistent than one that introduces heavy issues only to completely abandon them halfway through with weak explanations. This one knew its limits and played to its strengths perfectly.

The enemies-to-lovers/bickering dynamic between the leads was fun to watch.. Was their love story deeply emotional and layered? Not really. But I genuinely don’t think it needed to be. The vibe of the drama was more about chemistry, and fun rather than intense emotional depth, and it delivered exactly that.

Now let’s talk about Jisoo!! because people seriously had me expecting the worst. I kept seeing comments calling her acting cringe, awkward, etc., so I went in fully prepared to be disappointed… but she actually surprised me a lot. She felt pretty natural for most of the drama, especially during the flirting scenes in the dating simulation game. Like she genuinely sold the playful charm of Mirae really well.
I will admit that hospital crying scene in the last episode was lame. That was probably the one moment where the acting felt noticeably awkward and overdone. But aside from that? She did a solid job overall, and I honestly think people were being way harsher on her than necessary.

Now can we PLEASE talk about the star of the show! Eunho? Because that man absolutely nailed chemistry with Mirae. Chemistry soo goated that I forgot that he wasn’t the main lead.
And Park Gyeong Nam??? His journey from “annoying coworker I can’t stand” to “wait… why am I kinda rooting for him?” was honestly so entertaining. That progression was done really well, and he and Mirae had surprisingly good chemistry too.

Was suprised by the whole overall, got me hooked on the 1st episode.

I first saw about this series from some clips on tiktok and that was when the series wasnt finished yet. Now i just binged watched the whole series and im genuinely suprised by it. With just checking out those few clips and then reading all these mixed reviews, i just thougjt to myself (why dont i just watch the 1st episode. Then ill see if it catches my attention). Thats what i do with any series. Alot of people kept giving bad reviews though. Some were being very nitpicky, some gave honset reviews, some say they still watch but theres potential, and some watch just for the actors. I think people judge series and actors by just tiny tiny little reasons way to quick. Yes this series story/writing might be different from typical bl series out there. Thats good though, its something new and fresh. I saw that people though the storyline was incomplete or missing something. Thats just your opinion. I believe this was a good series to watch, the actors visuals were top 100, and they all acted amazingly. The story was good and ran at a good pace. There was twist and turns and it left me wanting to know what happens on the next epsiode. I think that rice (director), nuea,fluke, and all actors, crew, etc; did very good with this series. A good watch 👍💙

A Charming love story that lost its way after 4 episodes!!

The drama starts strong, drawing you in from the very first episode .. But somewhere along the way, writers forgot it actually needed a story till the end. It was soo bland after 4 episodes!!

Don’t get me wrong, Jo Hojin and Cha Muhee had amazing chemistry. Their scenes together felt warm, natural, and comforting, and Kim Seon-ho once again proved he can generate butterflies just by staring sadly into the distance. The romance worked. The problem is… the story kept running in circles.

After Jo Hojin and Cha Muhee confessed their feelings, the drama practically stopped evolving. The misunderstandings that followed felt like meaningless back-and-forth added only to stretch the plot, not deepen it. There was no big obstacle standing between them, emotional tension was not strong enough to make you desperately root for their reunion. Honestly, the drama should’ve ended around episode 10.

And Muhee… begged little too much for love!!. The drama keeps telling us she feels unlovable, which is a very real and relatable fear, but the way it was written became exaggerated “alter ego” situation. I kept wondering: is this meant to represent a real psychological condition? Is she bipolar? We do get some answers in the last episode but they were vague as well.

And Jo Hojin deserved to have a story of his own. Despite being the male lead, it feels like we barely know him because the entire narrative revolves around Muhee & her alter ego.

Also I’m sorry but the second lead couple did absolutely nothing for me. Their storyline felt soo dense and disconnected that half the time it seemed like they were only there to fill episode runtime.

Overall, the drama is watchable and has some genuinely sweet moments. But despite all the emotional buildup, it somehow leaves almost no lasting impact.

mo li makes me yearn for marriage

(personal review - all thoughts, opinions, and biases are mine.)

the story is really great. for a revenge plot, it's solidly unpredictable and kept me at the edge of my seat while watching. ye li is so smart from episode 1 and i always love an intelligent FL. both her and mo xiuyao's stories captivated me, and how they actually yearned for each other and kept the other in their hearts for 8 years...

i do think there are some missing components in the story that could've made it even better especially concerning the characters. i think mo jingli's motivations are not really all that? he's insistent on his "love" for ye li and he also wants the throne but he also holds a grudge like dude get real just get it together. i couldn't really figure him out tbh, and the way moli played out gave me no room to sympathize with him despite his sorrowful death (which was really anticlimactic, actually). ye li's ptsd was handled well in my opinion, but her whole dissociative identity disorder was not really touched on at all and that bothered me. because she's clearly great at martial arts but she doesn't think so and she thinks that it's master zhu that saved her everytime she's in danger when it's herself...i guess this does tie into her whole hallucination-delusion problems that she believes master zhu is alive to save her but she clearly also has dissociative amnesia. oh well.

i really do love the entire lishan arc though. the conflict that led up to it was maybe unnecessary because like honestly mo xiuyao DIDN'T need to divorce her, like what the hell guys you dont NEED to divorce, but ik it's a necessary bridge to get ye li back on lishan and oh boyy. cheng lei and bai lu really nailed playing their characters at that time, i cried SO much because i felt so much for both mo xiuyao who was so regretful and sad for his wife, and ye li who lived in the delusion that lishan always remained as lively before the tragedy... (and i had this thought in my mind that the empress dowager must've planted the illness in the academy then sealed it off on purpose so that everyone would die without help and without people knowing but i guess not? how come ye li alone wasn't sick anyway? idk it's weird i'll accept it as just main character things.)

i really loved the side characters here when i usually don't care about them that much. ye li's family are all horrible people except ye ying who was just more pitiful than anything because she held onto her desire to be with mo jingli until the very end. the part where ye li confronts ye ying about her "love" for mo jingli did leave an impression on me because ye ying is pretty much in love with the idea of mo jingli rather than the man himself, but she fell in love with his works, his music, his writing... that struck a chord in me. she's actually a good character (speaking of, where was she in the ending?)
and then there's others a-jin, feng zhiyao, li feibai, han mingxi, even ms wen... just to name a few, i enjoyed them all very much. contrary to others opinions i actually did like the sub romance between feng zhiyao and lingyun i think they were sweet and tragic and i always loved a secret identity romance.

i'm not a hard critic, yeah the last few episodes were a drag but so are most cdramas honestly. and i really do love this story and this couple more than it lets me down, so i don't have a reason to give it less than a 9 in the end. it has good rewatch value for the fact that i'm sure you'll learn and catch on to more stuff on the second watch.

mo xiuyao and ye li make me yearn for marriage and i'm not even joking. they are so so sweet with each other, even when mo xiuyao is angry with her and scolds her, the care he has for her is just oozing out of the man. i loved watching them fall in love as they scheme together and go through life and death together it's just amazing. peak romance honestly.

Love of Silom (2026)

Love of Silom (2026) เป็นซีรีส์แนว BL โรแมนติก–ดราม่า ที่บอกเล่าเรื่องราวความรักระหว่าง Wayu และ Krit ซึ่งเป็นความรักของคนต่างสถานะ โดย Wayu ทำงานเป็นโฮสต์บาร์เพื่อหาเงินช่วยเหลือครอบครัว จนวันหนึ่งเขาได้พบกับ Krit นายตำรวจหนุ่ม และการพบกันครั้งนั้นก็กลายเป็นจุดเริ่มต้นของเรื่องราว ความสัมพันธ์ และอุปสรรคต่าง ๆ ที่ทั้งสองต้องเผชิญ สามารถรับชมได้ทาง WeTV

โดยรวมแล้ว ซีรีส์ดำเนินเรื่องอย่างค่อยเป็นค่อยไป มีการลำดับเหตุการณ์ที่สมเหตุสมผล พร้อมผสมผสานทั้งปมปัญหา ความดราม่า และความโรแมนติกได้อย่างลงตัว ทำให้เรื่องราวมีความน่าติดตาม อย่างไรก็ตาม ในความเห็นส่วนตัว ผมรู้สึกว่ามีบางช่วงที่การดำเนินเรื่องค่อนข้างช้า จนทำให้จังหวะของเรื่องแผ่วลงและอาจทำให้ผู้ชมบางคนรู้สึกเบื่อได้บ้าง

ในด้านการแสดง นักแสดงทุกคนถ่ายทอดบทบาทได้อย่างเป็นธรรมชาติและน่าเชื่อถือ โดยเฉพาะนักแสดงที่รับบทเป็นโฮสต์บาร์ ซึ่งทำผลงานได้โดดเด่นมาก ฉากเปิดตัวของเหล่าโฮสต์เป็นหนึ่งในซีนที่ผมประทับใจที่สุด เพราะทุกคนสามารถถ่ายทอดบุคลิก การแสดง และการเอนเตอร์เทนลูกค้าออกมาได้อย่างสมบทบาท จนสัมผัสได้ถึงความตั้งใจและการเตรียมตัวของนักแสดง ส่งผลให้ฉากดังกล่าวมีเสน่ห์และน่าจดจำ

สำหรับงานโปรดักชันก็ทำออกมาได้ดี ทั้งการเลือกมุมกล้อง งานภาพ และการจัดองค์ประกอบของแต่ละฉากที่ช่วยสร้างบรรยากาศของเรื่องได้อย่างลงตัว แม้ว่าจะมีบางองค์ประกอบที่ยังไม่เป็นไปตามที่ผมคาดหวังไว้ แต่ก็ไม่ได้ลดทอนคุณภาพโดยรวมของซีรีส์มากนัก

สุดท้ายนี้ ผมให้คะแนน 7/10 แม้ว่าซีรีส์จะมีองค์ประกอบหลายด้านที่ทำออกมาได้ดี ทั้งการแสดง โปรดักชัน และการเล่าเรื่อง แต่ก็ยังมีบางจุดที่ไม่เป็นไปตามความคาดหวังของผม อย่างไรก็ตาม ทั้งหมดนี้เป็นเพียงความคิดเห็นส่วนตัว และผมก็ยังอยากแนะนำให้ทุกคนได้ลองรับชม Love of Silom ซึ่งสามารถรับชมได้ครบทุกตอนทาง WeTV ครับ

La serie fue bastante entretenida, que es lo importante pero hubo ciertas pequeñeces que me daban un tick nervioso.
Entiendo que quieran promocionar belleza, vestuario entre otras cosas, pero, por favor porque ponerle tacones a los guardaespaldas? Es mas atractivo la vestimenta adecuada-botas industriales o de seguridad. Boots would look so hot in LingLing.
Otra cosa, las actrices tienen química, no hay duda de eso, pero a la hora de hacer una escena íntima como que se trancan, tienen que aprender a soltarse un poco, es como ver dos ramas trying to make out, es raro.

Fourever You Part 2 (2025–2026)

Fourever You Part 2 (2025–2026) แบ่งเรื่องราวออกเป็น 3 พาร์ต ได้แก่
1. Beside the Sky
2. The Sun from Another Star
3. Lately, It's Winter

สำหรับ Part 2 ผมขอไม่กล่าวถึงเนื้อหาเพื่อหลีกเลี่ยงการสปอยล์ แต่จะขอพูดถึงภาพรวมของซีรีส์แทน

โดยส่วนตัว ผมมองว่า Part 2 มีความสมบูรณ์แบบมากกว่าพาร์ตแรก ด้วยการแบ่งเรื่องราวของแต่ละคู่แยกออกจากกันอย่างชัดเจน ทำให้แต่ละพาร์ตสามารถถ่ายทอดความสัมพันธ์และพัฒนาการของตัวละครได้อย่างเต็มที่ ผู้ชมจึงมีเวลาได้ซึมซับเรื่องราว เข้าใจบริบท และเข้าถึงอารมณ์ของตัวละครแต่ละคู่ได้มากยิ่งขึ้น

การดำเนินเรื่องเป็นไปอย่างค่อยเป็นค่อยไป ไม่เร่งรีบ ทำให้ทุกเหตุการณ์มีน้ำหนักและส่งผลต่ออารมณ์ของผู้ชมได้เป็นอย่างดี ซึ่งถือเป็นจุดเด่นที่ผมชื่นชอบมากที่สุดของ Part 2

ในด้านนักแสดง ทุกคนถ่ายทอดบทบาทได้อย่างยอดเยี่ยม มีเสน่ห์เฉพาะตัว และแสดงออกมาได้อย่างเป็นธรรมชาติ ทำให้เคมีของแต่ละคู่โดดเด่นและน่าติดตาม

ด้านโปรดักชันก็ยังคงรักษามาตรฐานของ Studio Wabi Sabi ได้เป็นอย่างดี ทั้งงานภาพ การกำกับ และองค์ประกอบต่าง ๆ ที่ช่วยสร้างบรรยากาศของเรื่องได้อย่างลงตัว ขณะที่เพลงประกอบ (OST.) ก็ยังคงไพเราะ ติดหู และช่วยเสริมอารมณ์ของแต่ละฉากได้อย่างยอดเยี่ยม

สุดท้ายนี้ สำหรับ Fourever You Part 2 ผมมองว่าเป็นพาร์ตที่ทำให้ซีรีส์มีความสมบูรณ์แบบมากขึ้น การแบ่งเรื่องราวของแต่ละคู่เป็นพาร์ตเฉพาะ ทำให้ผู้ชมสามารถเข้าถึงตัวละครและเรื่องราวได้อย่างเต็มอิ่ม จึงเป็นเหตุผลที่ผมให้คะแนน 10/10 และอยากแนะนำให้ทุกคนได้ลองรับชมครับ

As long as you say you love me~

Never Ending Summer, led by BaoShangAn and Zhou KeYu, is a drama that I never expected I would like. But genuinely, I really enjoyed watching it, even though towards the end, the plot didn't make much sense to me. I guess I enjoyed it so much because I hadn't watched a drama in such a long time. I also really enjoyed their chemistry, and honestly, it was the only thing that kept the entire story together for me.

To be honest, towards the end, it kind of started crashing, and some parts just didn't feel right because I felt like they were rushing the ending. I felt that they could have shown the 2026 era a bit more and cut down the 2016 era instead. Because, to be honest, I liked the 2026 era, or rather the more mature versions of both of them. In fact, I loved the mature versions of all the characters. I really liked how they handled situations and how much more mature they were compared to 10 years ago. So, I felt that they could have shown the older versions a bit more and cut down the younger ones.

For the younger timeline, I think the first 10 episodes were amazing. I really, really enjoyed them. But after that, once they started dating, or once both of them started falling in love, it kind of got boring. On the other hand, I found the 2026 era much more beautiful and meaningful. Even when they were dating again or when they moved in together, those moments were really beautiful. I loved how they were thinking through everything and handling their relationship in a more mature way.

I also loved all the outfits in this drama because I really liked the styling. Especially after the 10-year time skip, when they were older and around 28, the outfits were so good. ZW outfits, especially her off-shoulder tops, were absolutely top-notch.
Last but not least, I think the part where she is trying to solve the case was kind of misplaced. The plot became all over the place. I don't know how the mother got her redemption arc because we barely saw her again. I think we only saw her once after the 10-year time skip, and then suddenly she turned out to be a spy. What kind of plot was that? We didn't even get any hints leading up to it. It was probably the biggest plot twist, but it just didn't feel right. I honestly felt like it was poorly written, or at least poorly executed.

The chemistry between the leads was the only thing saving the drama. Even the side characters were really good. The factory arc, however, felt unnecessary at that point. We only got the 2026 timeline around Episode 19, which meant there were only about 10 episodes left. Most of those episodes focused on their redemption arc and how they had been missing each other. Then the factory arc came in, and I don't think they had enough time to execute it properly. Also special mention for the songs, istg they were so good at most of the times. The song placements were so peak, it just makes you feel the emotion.
Overall, I really enjoyed watching it, and I think it's a pretty good drama, probably rewatch it someday later!

Ticket To Heaven menjadi series comeback Geminifourth terbaik

Dengan mengangkat alur dibumbui konflik batin seorang seminaris (Tanrak) yang dari kecil tumbuh di lingkungan kental ajaran katolik yang akhirnya diuji oleh cinta, nafsu, serta keimanannya dengan bertemu sosok bertolak belakang (Barth) merupakan premise menarik utama di series ini. Chemistry yang dibangun oleh geminifourth sendiri sudah tidak diragukan apalagi dengan comebacknya mereka pada series ini dengan garapan naskah 180° berbeda dari project MSP maupun My love mix up. Ditambah lagi, phi aof merupakan director ternama di Thailand yang mengatakan alur series ini berdasarkan pengalaman hidupnya. Penantian kurang lebih 2 tahun setelah perilisan trailer pilot di GMMTV RIDE THE WAVE 2024 hingga menuntaskan first reading+workshop+shooting hingga akhirnya penayangan di pertengahan tahun 2026 sangat sepadan. Hal ini terlihat dalam gubahan naskah novel menjadi series live action pendek sejumlah 6 eps. Alur padat dan matang, kualitas akting, sinematografi, colour grading disesuaikan pada tahun 1996 menambah estetika tersendiri ketika menonton series ini. Queer people and religious guilty sangat kental dan berat dibahas dalam setiap dialog dan simbolis adegannya namun eksekusinya sangat epik serta memberikan perspektif terbuka akan isu sensitif ini. Saya rasa sekali dalam seumur hidup para pecinta series atau cinephil perlu melihat karya luar biasa ini. Apresiasi terhadap semua aktor, kru film, dan pihak yang bersangkutan selama proses penggarapan naskah, syuting, hingga selesai penayangannya. Overall good job

The BEST and original GL series I've ever watched 100000/10

Seriously, I'm new to Thai GL Series but this is my 10th Series. I saw a random clip of Lene was furiously dragging to car (episode 5) and I was like oh... strict mafia kinda series itseems and left.

But I watched another clip their BTS and I don't know I started that in that moment....Down in the comments someone mentioned don't watch this series in Youtube for better experience do go to Uncut version. Thanks to whoever it is.

I completed almost 5 episodes in whole night without sleeping. This is the only series where I giggled, amazed, got second hand embarrassment...my cheeks was hurt as hell as I was smiling like an idiot the whole night....

The best series I've ever saw. The things I loved about this series is it doesn't overcrowded artists like some other series, they make sure who are all needed for the scene and they only assembled there. It might look strange as the office has been operated by only 10 people but I must say it is more than enough. This story main focus is Rann and her P'le and that is how it went, without any unnecessary dragging the series completed within 7 episodes. But I wish there are some more episodes too....

Pheem make his character very strong that makes the main to cry her lungs out when he died. To talk about Main leads Mie and Aya
Someone better give them an another project. They are more like a lovers or I would even say they are married apart from dating. The way Lene world becoming bright after Rann is notable and

Aya....She made an excellent job, her role is more like a soft emotional gurl the way she carried her role Rann is appreciable.

Miephat....OHGOD gurl who are you?? Where you come from, how could be a women be so fine...as well as handsome, cool or whatever the best words. The gun firing, the fights, the dressing style you carried, in episode 2, the way you lift your sleeves(black shirt in office scene) god i died, I'm straight but for the very first time I got butterflies in my stomach and I thought like OHMY...She is my role modal...how the hell you can be so gud...The role you did is extremely beautiful and full of emotions. The love you hold for Rann is beyond my Imagination, the love scenes made be blush so hard, I rewatched it a lot of time, I wish I could talk about this series to someone so that we could discuss a lot about this, only thing is people will judge you for your taste...typical world, I wish I could born in Thailand


OVERALL...Whoever wanted a proper romance peaked series, where the main leads give a real world romance as there is some rumors of them in dating, Go watch LOVE BEYOND DREAMS, you will never regret it. whoever the partner is Boy or Gurl, make them to watch this series....
They are so underrated MieAya...let them get another project soon
this series need more recognition than most of the overrated dramas, I understand the fan followings, but I would say they are 10000 times better than LingOrm, the romance doesn't feel forced and all

DO WATCH THIS MASTERPIECE
