  • Love for Love's Sake

    2. Love for Love's Sake

    Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    I think the choppy edits kinda take me out in some parts of the series, but overall really good

  • A Breeze of Love

    3. A Breeze of Love

    Korean Drama - 2023, 8 episodes

    THIS LITERALLY TICK ALL THE BOXES FOR ME. It was honestly so cute, their little gazes, the shy smile, the tension when they just look at each other, also I'm always a bit of a sucker for second chance romance so this is a huge bonus. I wish it was longer. 

  • My Demon

    4. My Demon

    Korean Drama - 2023, 16 episodes

    9.0

    This surprise me a lot even though the plot isnt something new but I find that the chemistry and the romance is really my taste. I love the push and pull, the little angst here and there but still full of sweetness. I really enjoy this type of series a lot 

  • Jazz for Two

    5. Jazz for Two

    Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    6.5

    I just wanna say I watch this for the visuals of the casts, to be honest I'm not really a fan of all the internalized homophobia, some said it was to depict real life and supposed to make you feel uncomfortable but honestly I thought they didn't tell the story all that well...I didn't really get the actions of any characters fully and the second couple has the potential to be much more. 

  • Stay by My Side

    6. Stay by My Side

    Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 10 episodes

    8.5

    The plot of this show actually remind me of a danmei that I read before, and it was funny silly show, I have lots of fun binge watching it and their kisses are to die for. 

  • Please Tell Me So

    7. Please Tell Me So

    Korean Special - 2021, 1 episode

    7.0

    It's a short film so there isnt really much to say. 

  • To Be Continued

    8. To Be Continued

    Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes

    Is this the best show ever? Probably not. I rate this purely because of how much I love AchiJi chemistry throughout the series, but the beginning was a bit too draggy and repetitive, they could have utilize those time a bit more. The jumping between flash back was also a bit confusing at first however I learnt a lot through them and so it didn't make it so much of slow burn for me as I can tell how much they like each other. The series also tick-boxes very specific things that I like in romance, which is the mutual pining and always scared to take the first step and they kept dancing around each other, watching it was like reading a fanfic of my OTP, it was pure crack. I wish they didn't have to separate for that long but I understand why it happened and it is believable enough for me.  Their NC scenes are beautifully shot, there aren't like crazy amount of them but every time it happened they are classically done(?) like it doesnt feel cheap like some other series. 

  • Peak Time

    9. Peak Time

    Korean TV Show - 2023, 11 episodes

    10

    One of the best survival show that I get to watch in a long time. Although, the editing could have been better and I would have love to see more of a story then just cut together performances. I honestly love how good and talented some of the groups are, and also a bit sad that the show did not do as well as I would have hope. Also, I think my favourite round is when they have to make units of the combined team. It was so satisfying to watch, especially the vocal and performance team. Shout out to DKB for always bringing everyone mood up,  they really make me fell for their charms as a group. 

  • Elite League

    10. Elite League

    Korean TV Show - 2023, 8 episodes

    9.0

    Watching this make my brain stimulated a lot and it feels nice, no crazy drama that happened and I like that it just focuses purely on the competition and how they are strategize their gameplay as well and not just trying to solving the math or puzzle alone. It was a good time when I was watching this with my friends trying to solve the puzzle together, even though we are not even half as smart as them.  

  • Not Friends

    11. Not Friends

    Thai Movie - 2023

    8.5

    Hmmm, the acting feels very grand and too opera-style for me at times, and then other times it tugged at my heartstring. I wish that it was more consistent throughout the show so that I would have a more immersive experience. It did make shed a few tears though, so overall not a bad movie, I have fun watching and I like the twist and turn of the show. 

  • A Little Romance

    12. A Little Romance

    Chinese Movie - 2022

    7.5

    Hmmm this would have been a perfect little youth BL if they were allow to make it. Just the potential that they could be 

  • Back to Seventeen

    13. Back to Seventeen

    Chinese Drama - 2023, 25 episodes

    8.0

    I think it has a very strong start especially the first 15 eps i was enjoying a lot but then they introduce the second lead in, and i wish that let the two leads have more moments together instead because they were just literally start to like each other, instead of wasting like 5 episodes on stupid subplot like that they could give us more cute moments of them and then introduce some conflict in. but for such a short-form series, i thought it pace everything nicely, not overcomplicating the time travel aspect as well for someone who dont really watch time travelling series and the characters are mostly likeable or tolerable. anyways a cute mini series.

  • Death Whisperer

    14. Death Whisperer

    Thai Movie - 2023

    7.0

    Uhmm maybe I expect too much that's why I feel like the story is not very tightly written, and it's kinda frustrating at times as well, but i love that how everyone stay together, the siblings are protective of each other, it's kinda nice to watch in a horror story. 

  • Gray Shelter

    15. Gray Shelter

    Korean Drama - 2024, 5 episodes

    4.0

    THIS IS JUST BAD...I dont even usually rate series this low but this is just terrible, they tried to be complicated and all that but I wish they invested more time on editing and write a better dialogues because fuck these characters cannot fucking talk

  • Love Destiny the Movie

    16. Love Destiny the Movie

    Thai Movie - 2022

    8.5

    I came into this with not much expectation but it was fun, I thought that I might not enjoy the whole plot where main character jump into a story/jump back in time from the modern world but turn out this was so much fun and so much more action packed than I ever thought. I would consider watching the original series just to see how it actually is. 

  • Spaceless

    17. Spaceless

    Thai Movie - 2024

    8.0

    Pretty short so there isnt much to say. I like it for what it is. Acting is good as well 

  • Unnatural

    18. Unnatural

    Japanese Drama - 2018, 10 episodes

    10

    one of the best series that I have watched this year, and just like MIU404 everything is so good. I love all the cases and it always make you think further than just their case

  • Century of Love

    19. Century of Love

    Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes

    10

    The series started out amazing with lots of twist and turn and I have a lot of fun guessing the next episodes but towards the end I think it was losing a bit of its plot and the way they deal with the villains were a bit of a letdown. overall i still enjoy watching it a lot and DaouOffroad chemistry is top the charts for me

  • Dhevaprom: Jaipisut

    20. Dhevaprom: Jaipisut

    Thai Drama - 2024, 17 episodes

    8.0

    It's been awhile that I was able to finish a lakorn, characters are fun to watch and entertaining enough. I love the big ensemble casts I think it added a lot more depth to their story. I love both couples as well although it still is a bit dragged out. 

  • The Paradise of Thorns

    21. The Paradise of Thorns

    Thai Movie - 2024

    9.0

    It's such a crazy insane movie that I feel like at some point I couldnt breath because more and more insane things are happening. I love it a lot and I got to watch this in Thailand as well so it was a really memory for me.

  • The Best Day of My Life

    22. The Best Day of My Life

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 14 episodes

    8.0

    I actually enjoy how their relationships started a lot and it's my type of drama that I really like to watch but the way they deal with the misunderstand part just super annoyed like they purposely did it to create drama instead of letting these characters talk it out. I ruined my experience of watching and therefore does not enjoy it as much. 

  • You Are My Secret

    23. You Are My Secret

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes

    8.5

    These characters are so multi-dimensional and we have female friendships as they navigate through their love life and work. The stuff that they have to deal with during their relationships are very realistic in a way that the problems arent just about who is wrong and  who is right in a relationship, it's how they need to adjust to each other. I love these complexities especially the second leads couple best friend of Xiao Tu. 

  • How to Make Millions before Grandma Dies
    9.5

    GDH is always so good at crafting these kinds of grey characters, they resemble life so much that even though they arent good good character you still want to root for their happiness, and you felt every single emotions that they go through and most of the times there arent any clear names for these kind of things. Such a great movie, did make me cry a bit especially near the end...the build up and everything was really good. I love the cinematography in this too, the angle the narrative, the way they cut and edit everything is so so so so beautiful. 

  • Culinary Class Wars

    25. Culinary Class Wars

    Korean TV Show - 2024, 12 episodes

    I really like the contestants in this show, I think Korea always have a way with their shows that it's so rich in storytelling and not just the cooking process alone. There are a lot of creativities that come into make foods, many perspective and many angle to look at the ingredient. Although, I pity some that didnt have a chance to make it further in the game as I see a lot of potential and make me curious of what they would do if they were able to get in. 

  • The Time of Fever

    26. The Time of Fever

    Korean Drama - 2024, 6 episodes

    8.5

    I watched ULS and really enjoyed their dynamic so hearing that it got a sequel was really excited but it turned out to be a prequel to that story but nonetheless I really enjoyed it a lot. I personally think Korean series is really good at captivating moments of youth, them catching feelings, being confused about their feelings or dancing or tiptoeing around it and then finally they act on it. The cinematography is pretty good and some of the scenes are full of tension I barely be able to breath properly. Their family situation really pull at my heartstrings. I wish it was just a tad bit longer, I wish we have seen them getting together at the end cause I really want to see that happy ending for them. 

  • My Love Mix-Up!

    27. My Love Mix-Up!

    Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

    7.0

    inconsistent writing and characterizations, questionable editing choices so the story come off disjointed. i really did enjoy some episodes while some others i feel absolutely nothing or borderline being annoyed by the constant ad placements and plot holes. i have asked myself before that under a different circumstances where i dont stan GF would i like this series more, but i think my answer would still be the same. i think it just lacks a lot of genuinity in their story that I missed watching from My School President, some of the stuff the characters do dont make sense, focusing solely on one character while the storyline for the other characters are lackluster and have no depth, especially in the case of Mudmee and Kongthap. Took me a long time to drag myself to finish the last two episodes but I did it after watching some of the deleted scenes. even GeminiFourth chemistry couldnt do it for me in this series. 

  • Love Game in Eastern Fantasy

    28. Love Game in Eastern Fantasy

    Chinese Drama - 2024, 32 episodes

    8.5

    This is not the kind of the genre that I usually go for, more often than not I avoid it completely, not for any particular reason, I just always thought the long hair kinda looks are not that attractive on guy, and that their hair being all flipped back kinda ruined the visual for me. However, this show really changed my perspective, maybe because I already know how great the chemistry of the main leads are that's why I find it easier to get into. Also, this show is SO FAWKING BEAUTIFUL, the CGs are so gorgeous, I love how brightly coloured it is, from the outfits to the scenery, I love it. The OSTs always seem to come on at the right moment and really help build the emotions for the scenes. Honestly, I would say I really enjoyed myself watching the first 20 episodes, the banters of the main leads so addicting to watch, I love the rest of the ensembles too and I like their take on "evil" is not really "evil", i like nuanced like that in a show. I couldnt enjoy it fully to the end, I thought the ending for me is weirdly done, although this is my first time watching this genre, I just don't really like how that works out in the end, also not a fan of how they dont even show him at the end for just a few second...like you obviously want to give them a happy ending why make it open ending like that??????!!!! just a few more seconds would do like????????!!!! is this what im supposed to expect in this kind of genre???? hmmmm maybe i will find out maybe i will not. this is a really comfort watch for me, honestly thoroughly enjoy eeven though the ending was not that ideal for me. 

  • DMD Friendship the Reality, It Takes Two

    29. DMD Friendship the Reality, It Takes Two

    Thai TV Show - 2024, 6 episodes

    8.0

    tbh this doesnt feel like 100% reality show, cause some of the interactions are a bit scripted or staged, not all but definitely they tried to make everyone interacted with each other but it was just awkward to watch cause they dont actually look like they want to talk to each other, i think instead of them showing us those scenes they should have let us see how they prepared for their missions at least if they dont want us to hear them talk to each other then just show a montage at least. personally i dont have a problem with the competition aspect cause i think those who won are well deserved and i can see clearly why, perhaps the final stage it's a bit questionable but that's up to debate. i enjoyed it though, i can see some genuine moments, some really cute interactions, and definitely see the friendships or chemistry of some of those that paired up. quite entertaining it's definitely a good introduction to new faces. 

    i already have a soft spot for net and jj and watching them here kinda solidified that even more, i personally think that how their relationship started it's not like others and so watching them makes me wanna cheer for their success even more, i think they are building that foundation for their partnership very genuinely. porteetee i watched this show partially bc i saw a video on tiktok of them dancing together on the street and i thought they have this chemistry that is very fresh, and i do think they have that but in this show i think their partnership is still like very very very new so i guess i will just keep watching and see how their relationship develops from here, another pair that caught my attention is auausave specifically auau, i have soft spot for emotional sensitive boy but his outlook is quite cold and cool looking you know. definitely interested to see how auausave develop from here after this show as well.
