Review: The chemistry between Gemini and Fourth is what makes this series amazing. I never rewatch dramas, but My School President is the only drama that I rewatched. Their chemistry is amazing and I would even watch it again. I also love the fact that Satang and Ford also are casted in this series, after Gemini, Fourth, Satang and Ford have been friends for many years, it's special they got to be in this drama together.

Review: A great story. Mhok and Day really helped each other. The communication between them is great, and I hope to see more series with Jimmy and Sea. Sea was really amazing during Last Twilight, his acting was fantastic portraying a visually-impaired character. I hope to see Sea's amazing acting with great storyline's again in the future.

Finished: January 27, 2024

Review: After watching "Last Twilight", I wanted a similar type of series. Last Twilight involves visually-impaired characters, whereas Twinkling Watermelon involves hearing-impaired characters. The story is amazing and I cried almost every episode. I would really like a season 2 focusing on the love story development between Yichan and Cheongah, after Yichan loses his hearing.

Finished: January 28, 2024

Review: I decided to watch this due to admiring Hyunwook's acting during Twinkling Watermelon. He is an amazing actor and I really enjoyed both Jihoon and Hyunwook's acting in Weak Hero. I am very much looking forward to Season 2. I hope Hyunwook gets some screentime during Season 2, I really enjoyed seeing the friendship of Suho and Sieun. But I am also looking forward to watching Ryeoun in Season 2 after watching him in Twinkling Watermelon as well.

Review: I wanted to watch a Thriller series after enjoying Weak Hero and decided to watch Extracurricular which I have been wanting to watch for the past few years. I really enjoyed this drama, and was hoping for a second season, though I doubt it would happen now. The ending was very much like a cliff hanger as if there is supposed to be a season 2, so the drama ends with an open-ending which I don't usually like. If there was ever a second season, I think a storyline set in Australia would be a great series, something similar to the American series "You", which each season is set in another country.

Review: This was on my watchlist for quite a while, but I watched it because I like body swap series these days. I also enjoyed Ryeoun's character after seeing Twinkling Watermelon and anticipate his acting in the future. His acting in "18 Again" and "Twinkling Watermelon" are different so I am looking forward to seeing "Weak Hero S2". I am not familar with the works of Lee Dohyun but after watching this, I will watch more of his dramas. I gave this a 9/10 due to the ending, I felt it could be a bit more of a reaction once he went back to his normal self.

Finished: February 2, 2024

Review: I watched this wanting a drama to watch on the train, I thought it would be a light-hearted relaxing drama, but I became intrigued and decided to watch it in my own time instead of the train. I was into this drama, I thought sometimes the chemistry wasn't as good as it could be but they still had somewhat of a connection. I don't really know how I feel about the ending which is why I didn't give this drama full 10/10

Review: I didn't know what to watch next so I decided to watch Semantic Error. I really enjoyed watching Semantic Error the first time so I was happy to watch it again. The chemistry between Jaechan and Seoham is through the roof. I would really like to see a Season 2 now that Seoham has completed military service. I will most likely rewatch again in the future.

Finished: February 4, 2024

Review:  A very interesting drama, I really liked the game storyline. I waited until it was finished so I could watch it in one go. I'm glad there wasn't any sudden romance between Sangwon and Kyunghoon. I liked the chemistry of the main leads and would most likely watch again.

Finished: February 5, 2024

Review: It was ok, I personally think 16 episodes were too much and it could have been cut down a bit. But it is a simple drama about High School crush, I personally wouldn't rewatch it but it is something I would recommend to someone if they are starting out on watching Korean BL series.

Finished: February 9, 2024

Review: It's short but sweet. I really liked the plotline because I thought it was really cute that he couldn't sleep without him. The chemistry was nice too. I definitely feel like it could have been longer, and made a whole 1 hour, 10 episodes type of drama out of it. But it was also short and sweet.

Finished: February 9, 2024

Review: I initially started watching this while it came out  but stopped watching at episode 2. But I decided to give it another go, and I liked it much better this time compared to when I first initially started watching it, and I even gave it a higher rating, but I have no idea why, and what is the difference of why I like it now more than before. Yechan is extremely cute, Yoon Dojin's acting is excellent and I was shocked to find out that this is his first ever acting role. He did great. 

Finished: April 17, 2024

Review:  I wanted an 'Enemies to Lovers' type of show to watch, and I came across this which was more 'Rivals to Lovers', but the Rivalry only lasted for one episode as the whole series was quite short. This show was more than a BL, it touched on aspects that focuses on learning about yourself. I liked the Mandarin learning storyline as I am a Mandarin learner!

Finished: April 18, 2024

Review:  I was very hesitant to watch the second season and almost didn't due to people saying there is cheating involved. However I decided to watch it. Teh annoyed me so much in this season and almost made me go insane. At a lot of parts I just wanted Ohaew to just be with Q, But, part of me still wanted Teh and Ohaew to be together. I didn't cry in either the first or second season, but the ending made me cry, I really liked the ending.

Finished: April 18, 2024 

Review: I don't think that this drama was that bad, but it's not the best either. There was a lot of internal homophobia and bullying tropes, the relationship was kind of rushed and wasn't any scenes of actually confirming the relationship, it was just a cheesy classroom moment, and there was not even a proper closure(?) regarding Taejoon and Jooha's relationship and just ended abruptly without knowing what happened with their relationship? I guess it might mean there is a spin-off series for this?

Review: I rewatched this because I was craving PondPhuwin content after watching We Are. I didn't realise that it was that long ago that I had watched Fish Upon The Sky, but I can tell over the years how much more comfortable Pond and Phuwin have gotten with each other, off-screen and on-screen. It was nice to revisit this, as the characters are similar to their characters in We Are, so far. I enjoyed the series the first time and I enjoyed it again, I initially didn't remember a lot of what happened so I didn't mind revisiting this. 

Finished: April 27, 2024

Review: When this series initially came out, I had no intention of watching it, because I'm not really a fan of Dunk's acting. But I decided to watch it, just for something to watch. I do think Dunk's acting had improved during this series compared to Star in My Mind. But I also think that it may just be the genre of BL that I feel seems off about JoongDunk or their acting. It's not that they don't have chemistry, it's that the storyline or genre isn't right for them. After watching their appearance in The Heart Killer trailer, it seemed much more of a suitable genre for them compared to university romances like Hidden Agenda and Star In My Mind. Hidden Agenda is a very much typical overused formula of BL - it's very predictable, but it is a series that may be suitable for first time BL watchers that are trying to get to know Thai BL, Though I believe it being 12 episodes is too long and should've been 10 episodes or less.

Finished: May 6, 2024

Review: When I watched "Never Let Me Go", I didn't really think Perth and Chimon had that much chemistry; so when this came out, I didn't have much interest in watching it. Again, I decided to watch it for something to watch, and since it is Enemies-to-Lovers, which is my favourite, I decided to give it a go. Based on the first episode, I believed their chemistry was so much better here compared to their characters in "Never Let Me Go".  There wasn't really anything "Dangerous" about the Romance so I feel like the title is a bit misleading.

Finished: May 17, 2024

Review: I watched this because Hyewon was in it, but besides Hyewon being in it, I do in general like a plot that's set in the past. I really enjoyed this, and I hope there will be a second season. As far as I recall, the director did state there may be a season 2, so I hope the second season will focus more on Byeongtae gaining more confidence and a romance between Jiyoung and Byeongtae. Despite Hyewon being a main character, she wasn't in it as much as I had hoped that she would be, but I do this that Hyewon was great in this. Hoping for season 2.

Finished: June 9, 2024

Review: I was shocked to find out that Yooyeon would have her acting debut and I think this drama suited her perfectly. This adult-life type of job works well with Yooyeon and despite not expecting an acting debut from her just now, her acting skills are better than I expected it to be and I can see her being on mainstream television dramas in the future. This drama was a cute short drama that can be relatable to people and I wish there was a season 2 because I thought the chemistry between Mirae and the convinence store guy was really cute and wished they had more of a romance aspect. I hope to see Yooyeon in more dramas in the future.

Review: I loved this drama a lot. I wanted an "Enemies-to-lovers" type of trope to watch and came across this, however I don't usually watch Historical dramas since I am a language learner and want modern Chinese language, however I decided to give it a go and it became one of my most favourite dramas. The chemistry was amazing and I loved every second of this drama. I want a season 2 but I doubt there will be one, but I was so happy with the ending, I was worried how the ending would be but I was really happy with the ending. I would definitely watch it again. I also really loved the two mains, I really like Zhao Lusi, I got to know her through this drama and will definitely watch more of her dramas in the future. 

Finished: August 9, 2024

Review: At first, I initially dropped this because I was getting annoyed by her voice as her younger version , but after watching The Romance of Tiger and Rose, I really came to like Zhao Lusi and her acting, so I decided to rewatch this from the start.  I also think that this drama could be viewed wrongly, especially as the actress who played young Sangzhi was most likely about 9/10 years old at the time of filming. In adulthood I believe 5 years age difference is not bad, but considering that they knew each other when Sangzhi was in middle school it can be misinterpreted even though they started the romance after she was an adult. Sangzhi's crush was cute and I think the drama portrayed it well but after they started dating it did start to become dragging.  I personally think they should have ended it at 20 episodes because the final 5 episodes kind of dragged a bit, if it didn't drag so much in the final 5, I most likely would have given this drama an 8.5 or 9. Also, Sang Yan kept saying he had a girlfriend, I know there is a spin-off series regarding this but in my opinion I would have preferred it if Sang Yan and Yuxin got together and met online while playing games, I was expecting this to happen and it never did. Victor Ma/Sang Yan was my most favourite character in this series. I really loved Victor Ma in this drama and also his OST "Be Your Light", I had it on replay so much. 

Finished: August 11, 2024

Review: I initially watched about 3 episodes of this drama a few months ago, however it kind of terrified me a bit and I became very anxious so I decided to stop watching. However I really wanted to watch it so I started it from the beginning and I wasn't as scared this time.  I really liked this drama, (even though I will probably be scared to go on a bus now), I really loved the main characters and the process of their relationship, I am so happy that they got together in the end, however I do think there should have been more romance considering they had loads of chemistry I felt. I also really liked Lu Di but I wish that he was just a little bit more involved. I do think that they could have made at least one more episode to finish it up, like how they re-visited the case of before and such, and built a friendship with Lu Di, but over all I do think this was a great drama.
