it's fun
It was interesting and fun—even though I can’t stand liars, even fictional ones, I really enjoyed it. But it was also pretty unusual, since I still have a fairly short list of BLs I’ve watched (this is number 13), and the proposal in the very first episode out of 12 surprised me, even though you could have expected it from the title—plus, you should read the description before watching, not like I did.paitim
I really, really fell for them. Tim was looking at him with those eyes—ohhh, if someone looked at me like that, I’d melt. How can they fake chemistry like that?

I didn’t like them at all in the first half of the series; their start was so illogical and cringey, in my opinion, that my eyes nearly popped out of my head watching their relationship develop and them getting married at the snap of a finger; but over time, they became a little more interesting.

holy shit am I ready for season 2
okk, first off Fah pissed me off. like I don’t get why she didn’t throw the phone elsewhere and run off 😭😭then I can’t lie I’ve watched “the next prince” before watching this and seeing zeenunew in a different setting was something else. I think they played their roles amazingly.
I also noticed other Thai bl actors in here too 😭😭
but the series itself was amazing I loved the storyline and the characters. it was amazing I can’t wait for season two. honestly I highly recommend watching this!

Solidly predictable but Delightful
With the stereotypes of Spoiled Chaebol Son vs. Detective Team Leader with a chip on her shoulder, Flex X Cop take delightful glee in the excesses of the trope, but doesn't hesitate to scratch the surface and explore the traumas underneath and lend humanity and depth to the action. Solid cast, well drawing characters, consequential action. Lots of fun!Was this review helpful to you?

don't waste your time
romeraffy 🫶🏻MY FAVORITES. Honestly, instead of dragging out the jackdean storyline for the whole series, they should’ve developed these characters more. Because one moment Raffy says he doesn’t love him, and the next he’s going after him? What got into him (It’s been clear for a long time that Jack’s a jerk.)
They acted really well—it was a total pleasure to watch. And even though I'm more into fluff, I really liked their chemistry.

arnoldtua 50/50?
I don’t even know how to feel about them. Because knowing that the actor is homophobic and watching the character he plays fall for another guy is a little weird, you have to admit. Although, in my opinion, they have the healthiest relationship compared to the others.
But Arnold kept me going so I didn’t give up on the whole thing as early as episode 3.

jackdean 0/10
THEIR STORY WAS SO FORCED. I generally hate the second chance trope, so Dean and Jack lost points right away. Honestly, it would’ve been better if they’d just left them as friends at the end, I swear.
I’ve seen that a lot of people love these actors, but my first impression… well, just no.

They stopped showing Boston so suddenly. Or maybe I wasn’t paying attention—I only happened to catch a glimpse of his face in one episode, because before that I thought he’d just disappeared. But they kind of phased him out really awkwardly; the show just didn’t feel right without him.
Almost the entire plot was initially centered on how Dean thinks he’s the best person in the world, and then how sad he is because his boyfriend dumped him. But for what? Just stfu. There are two other couples, after all. It’s just boring. Plus, it’s way too drawn out.
I honestly thought this would be like second season, or at least something similar to the first part, but the only similarity was that they showed the main characters from 1st part for just a few seconds at the beginning.
Also, maybe someone else noticed how a certain object is in one shot but missing in the next. I can only recall one specific scene right now where Rome was standing with headphones around his neck, and a second later he sat down, and they were completely gone.
If, as they say, there are hints of a third season, I won’t be watching it, because I suspect it’ll be even worse.

ok
Honestly? At first, I was curious to see what they’d come up with combining Khaofyors and cats, since I love both. About halfway through, it started to get a little boring, but I still watched it all the way through because it wasn’t that bad. Plus, I got curious about what would happen between Leo and that vet.It kind of felt like they were just picking each new problem at random—I don’t know 😭
And for some reason, I thought there’d be hybrids in the show—no idea where I got that from—but I changed my mind after two episodes.

From the very beginning, I watched this drama just for one actor, and then he ended up killing himself at the end—thanks a lot. There are only four episodes, and to be honest, I didn’t understand almost anything about the plot ㅠ. I think they should have made a few more episodes to explain things better.My rating is mostly for the visuals; I really liked the way everything looked.
One thing I can say: I love strong, feisty women.

I hope someone will take a picture of you while you're humming in the rooftop.
The ost, the casts, and the story of it is a kind of story of "rushed but a good story line with a small details abt their reunion ending. it's about Hayakawa, a boy who has a bad past abt music and Konno, a boy who is determined and motivated to pursue photography. meeting each other in the rooftop, unknown and mysterious yet Konno unknowingly took a picture of Hayakawa captivated by his humming.And js know that in the first eps....Hayakawa is wild asf.
My favorite line in this BL is "Stop worrying so much whether people will dislike you, what you're feeling is the whole picture, isn't it?" - (Konno) And the scene where Hayakawa asked for "I want three years worth of kisses." - (Hayakawa)
yeyeyey.

it's ok
I have such mixed feelings about this show... They thought it through, but who knows what they were thinking.While watching, I was like this: 😐🥹🖕🏻🤯
I really love mysteries, and I liked the story, but everyone was accusing everyone else and making such a mess of things that I lost track of part of the plot. One moment Pued’s guilty, the next he’s not—they got themselves all tangled up
Plus, I spoiled it a little for myself when I read the description, because the tags say “wrongfully accused,” so I knew a bit of what was coming right off the bat.
The couple is SO COOL. my friend was right about their chemistry—I really liked them, and their dynamic just makes me feel so good.
Sorawit and That are totally my weakness—they’re such sweethearts 😭🤏🏻
But the cinematography is really interesting. The characters’ poses would sometimes shift slightly with the camera angle, and when they were driving in the car, the background looked a little off. But it’s not for me to judge—I’m not a cinematographer, just a viewer.

Toto and Kanit or Tay and New??
Oh my precious TayNew 🥹🥹 I absolutely ADORED this drama. It's the first in a while that I actually watched while airing cause I couldn't wait lol. TayNew is my Ult couple and the reason I actually got into Thai BLs so I may be biased but I enjoyed every moment of this drama.TayNew have undeniable chemistry and it really shone in this drama!! Tay was so goofy I was literally laughing every episode it was such a good time. New I cannot with how CUTE that man is. I often found myself forgetting that they were playing Kanit and Toto cause it just felt like I was watching Tay and New be themselves.
I will definitely be watching this drama again, the story was goofy and not serious. The drama was fun and not stressful. All the actors did an amazing job portraying their characters. I want more (maybe a special episode 👀) Highly HIGHLY recommend!!

First impression
You can watch it on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLbZUf4BT8l0MPretty good so far, my first time seeing Tham or Mac in anything. Nice acting, interesting premise. I like it.
Episode 1:
* Giving your child a book of spells for his birthday and telling him to have fun cursing people with bad luck is a bit crazy, but what do I know?
* I really dislike Krit so far. I was excited to finally see AunStamp together, but the characters they are playing are highly unlikable, in my opinion. The whole breaking up with Rin on his birthday and pretending to be cheating on him while also saying that he had it coming because "I've told you before" is the most insane and lame thing to do. I unfortunately no longer have any interest in the couple AunStamp is playing. I don't see them recovering after all they did.
* I like the main couple, their characters and their personalities really complement each other in my opinion.
Episode 2:
* The fact that Mochi assumed that Rin is "dating Khobfa just to spite Krit" is just so stupid and genuinely pissed me off. And then Krit has the audacity to come to Rin and say, "You don't have to do it just to spite me. "Like, buddy, the world doesn't revolve around the two of you. Get a life.
* I'm sorry but I just really don't care about Krit and Mochi, them falling in love, etc. I was so excited to see Aun and Stamp in a series as a couple, but their characters are so unlikable, every time I see them on my screen, I want to skip over their moments.
Episode 3:
* Why is everyone so obsessed with the idea that the only reason Rin is hanging out with Khobfa is to make Krit jealous? Like, omg, I'm losing my mind with these. Can we move on?
* Otherwise, though I really enjoy it a lot, the main leads are growing closer, and it's really nice to see.

WATCH IT
There’s a difference between murder and what Kan did, at least in that it was done with the patients’ full consent. I mean, they were all sick and were going to die soon anyway, and euthanasia is just putting an end to their suffering. So I don’t think it’s a bad thing.I don’t really have much to say about the couple, since the focus was more on the suspense, but you could still feel something between them—and there were even some cute moments, like 🤏🏻
I expected a bad ending almost from the very beginning, and that’s kind of how it turned out, though it really comes down to perception.
“I love you, Doc,” he says as he’s driving Kan away in handcuffs, and that was the end. I almost climbed up to the ceiling, to be honest.
It’s also listed under the “mystery” genre, and either I’m perceiving it differently or there isn’t any mystery there at all.

The most poisonous thing in the world is human heart
The Wanted Detective is an amazing detective drama that blends mystery, politics, and fiction. Although I think the story relies a bit too much on fantasy at times, I still enjoyed it a lot. The supernatural elements occasionally weaken the realism, but they also make the story unique and entertaining.One of my favorite aspects is how the plot transforms the nation’s most respected detective into the most wanted man in the country. Watching Xiao Beiming go from solving crimes for the system to becoming hunted by it was fascinating. The story keeps raising the stakes, making every episode more exciting than the last.
The romance is not the main focus, but it is well balanced and never overshadows the mystery or political intrigue. Every episode kept me engaged, and I genuinely couldn’t predict what would happen next. The drama is full of unexpected twists, and I was constantly surprised by new revelations. Even though some parts are fictional, they are presented in a way that makes the story highly entertaining.
What impressed me the most was the political plot. The drama explores how those in power may sacrifice a small group of people to maintain stability for the majority, claiming it is for the greater good. This raises an important question: when the leader is the one who commits the wrongdoing, who can hold them accountable? If those in power control the law, who is left to judge them?
Overall, The Wanted Detective is more than just a detective drama. It is a thought-provoking story about justice, power, truth, and the price of maintaining order. It kept me invested from beginning to end, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who enjoys intelligent mysteries with political intrigue and unexpected twists.

Stockholm syndrome? Really?
This drama is very dangerous for young girls to watch. The main female protagonist might have Stockholm syndrome to fall in love with her perpetrator. In real life, the psychopathic people will not change their personality easily, and it is rare for them to have real love. Generally, I could see many main male protagonists in Chinese dramas got narcissistic personality trait, but in Love of Nirvana and Fated Hearts, the main male roles are worse than narcissism. The personality is psychopathy.You could read this article, "Unwanted personal contact and risky situations in ten Disney animated feature films" written by Wendy E Hovdestad, David Hubka, and Lil Tonmyr. In old Disney films, main female protagonist only aware of the unwanted contact by non-attractive male characters, while they allowed attractive male character to touch them. In Love of Nirvana, things are worse than interpersonal contact, because it is the attempt to murder.
In fact, I watched this show for Jeremy Xu, but his role in this drama is not interesting at all. The characteristics of the character are just like general male lead stereotype, like, hold still a lot, emotionless, no sense of humor, seem to be dictative. Jeremy Xu has higher talent and skills than the stereotyped ML role, unlike most famous Chinese actors, who act similarly in all dramas they got cast.

First impression
I loved how different the editing is from your regular jbls. Both the opening song and theme song are great.I also loved the character introduction which we usually dont see in jbls so this felt like a breath of fresh air.
I have been following Ayuta since his role in School Trip and he totally nailed the Hinata role. We didn't get to see thebside characters that much in Ep1 but I have a good feeling about this series.

Peaches and Cream I Guess?
This spinoff sequel was fun and funny like how the original series was. I just lacked to see what the point of this was? Because it didn't really push the story any more, if anything it went backwards with certain things including our side couple of William & Est. I'll stick by that more BL's/GL's need multiple seasons or spinoffs, but this one wasn't necessarily one of them.Also Jimmy & Sea, Force & Book, Tay & New and Junior & Mark showing up was so freaking random XD. Honestly the best part of this spinoff because I got to see them all in one thing and they used their actual names.
