    Wow. I thought it would be overhyped but everything from the soundtrack to the acting to the production was perfect. And it was so refreshing in its representations/lessons. Like a typical bl it was fluffy and funny, but more than that; this series is an accurate and honest portrayal of life for lgbt+. Really recommend.

    I really love this series. It mixes the bl genre with action and is so unproblematic. It's just about pure love, respect and crime-solving. I wish it was longer!

  • Great Men Academy

    Thai Drama - 2019, 8 episodes

    Not everyone categorises it as a BL because of the magic body changing thing but it had the BL content and LGBT characters, so I think minus the technicality it is. It's not an amazingly profound story or anything, but I enjoyed every minute of it. The production quality was really great, the plot was interesting and the actors really suited the roles. Deffo recommend watching on Netflix if you can

    The fact that this was made during the pandemic, they utilised the online format, and it came out so great, is amazing. It was so touching and I love that they dealt with real tragedy and the struggles of connecting during isolation.

  • Love by Chance

    31. Love by Chance

    Thai Drama - 2018, 14 episodes

    8.5

    First of all, Ae is an angel. Second, AePete are beautiful. Third, Pond and the friends are great. I really enjoyed parts of this series and it could be higher, but the Techno-Kengkla storyline was not it and after a rewatch TinCan isn't either

  • Sotus

    41. Sotus

    Thai Drama - 2016, 15 episodes

    8.0

    I didn't expect to like this as much as I did! I actually thought it would be another one of the overhyped older bl series'; but it was really good. I didn't like Arthit at first, but his tsundere self grew on me and him and Kongpob became really sweet. Also I love how they actually utilised the engineering theme in the story, and used it for life lessons

  • TharnType

    42. TharnType

    Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes

    8.0

    So problematic at times but so entertaining at others. Both characters are immensely flawed and toxic, but the chemistry is amazing and the sweet moments had me hooked.

    It would be higher if Tharn knew the meaning of consent in the first few eps (¬_¬) and if the major plotline had been resolved with JAIL instead of being brushed off at the end. It also would be lower if I didn't adore the cast..

  • Why R U?

    43. Why R U?

    Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes

    8.0

    If not for covid, maybe this could have been a 10 as the plot/first few episodes were really promising. 

    But it was still entertaining even though the story faded, and the actors were very "committed"

    I know there are diehard fans of this series but I'm really confused as to why. Gu Hai has such bad personality traits and until the last (uncut) episode I really wasn't sure their relationship was consensual so... Even if the show hadn't been cancelled before it finished airing, GH literally tried to break someone's legs and kidnapped BLY...

    I did really like the authentic setting, side characters, and some of the plot though
