คนไทย BL σ(≧ε≦σ) ♡

The Thai adaptation of Cherry Magic, defiantly brings its strong performances from the cast. The chemistry between the leads is giving, drawing viewers into their budding romance and making their journey all the more engaging to watch. Kao and Earth's portrayal of Kurosawa and Adachi respectively captures the essence of their characters, bringing depth and authenticity to their relationship. I found them just as enduring as their Japanese counterparts. 

With the exception of integrating Thai culture and a splash more skin-ship, this series explores in great depth the themes of friendship, identity, and self-acceptance with sensitivity, offering meaningful insights into the human experience beyond just the central romance of the main couple. The supporting characters are well-developed and play integral roles in the story, contributing to its richness and complexity.  I really appreciate all the supporting cast members, the Thai adaptation really gave them more depth and dimension to these characters, all while blending them seamlessly into the plot.

Whether you're a fan of the original series or new to the story altogether, it's definitely worth checking out! An absolute 10 for me.

This show got my ass good. Had me bawling.

The show captivated me. The overall premise and storytelling really sold me on the lonely ghost boy named Met and a high school student named Thun. Combining elements of the supernatural with a tender coming-of-age romance, resulting in a narrative that was both compelling and emotionally resonant.

At the heart of the show is the bond between Met and Thun, which evolves from initial skepticism and misunderstanding to a deep and profound connection. The chemistry between the two leads was amazing and defiantly quite the tear jerker.  

This series is a riveting rollercoaster of emotions that keeps you hooked from the very first episode.  The chemistry between the main characters, Porsche and Kinn, is electrifying and undeniable, adding an extra layer of intensity to an already gripping storyline.

The show's portrayal of the mafia underworld is both thrilling and immersive, with each episode serving up a new twist or revelation that leaves you on the edge of your seat. The never-ending mysteries and dramas keep you guessing, while the breathtaking action sequences leave you breathless and craving for more.

One of the standout aspects of the series is its fearless approach to exploring the darker side of romance. And I mean a very dark concept. This shows is not for the faint of heart. The love scenes are indeed spicy and intense, but they also add depth to the toxic relationship between Porsche and Kinn. For the good and for the ugly. 

Definitely didn't feel like a bromance anymore lol

Boy, where do I start. This was defiantly the 2nd Thai bl that I watched that got me hooked into other Thai BL so there is a love/hate for this show. 

The show captures the excitement and uncertainty of young love, providing viewers with heartwarming moments that resonate on an emotional level. The chemistry between the main characters, Ae and Pete, is giving, which defiantly drew me into their journey as they navigate the complexities of their feelings for each other. Additionally, Love by Chance deserves credit for its efforts to address important issues facing LGBTQ+ individuals, such as coming out and acceptance from family and society. While the treatment of these themes may not be perfect, the series still succeeds in sparking meaningful conversations and providing representation for queer audiences given its success of the time.

Yet, after a few re-watches, the series suffered from uneven pacing, with episodes dragging on unnecessarily while failing to fully develop key plot points or character arcs. Scenes that should be emotionally impactful often feel rushed or undercooked, robbing them of their potential resonance and left me feeling disconnected at times. Of Course there was the unnecessary drama that bleed into the production of LBC 2 without my favorite boi, Saint, also left me sad and uninterested about the potential or the future of the show. But I still cherish the moments and feelings I got when I first watched this series <3

The timeless theme of unrequited love and the obsession of a teenage crush, while potentially intriguing, is weighed down by clichés and lack of emotional depth.

Toh is defiantly quite the character in this series as our main protagonist. His exaggerated  expressions and enthusiastic yet shy demeanor in s̶t̶a̶l̶k̶i̶n̶g̶ crushing the campus hottie (that really didn't have much going on for his personality), Neua, was quite the ride. I was able to quickly adjust to Toh's cringy behavior and could relate to the absurd fantasizes we all once had on a crush. Yet, when the series advanced, the characters motivations often seemed shallow, and their connections with their crushes feel superficial at best. Without a strong emotional investment in the characters, it was challenging for me to truly "care" about their outcome.

Furthermore, the show relied heavily on sensationalism and manipulation to keep viewers engaged, rather than relying on compelling storytelling. This approach may attract attention in the short term, but it ultimately cheapens the viewing experience and undermines any genuine moments that may occur...

However, The deep friendship between the group was remarkable. Grappling with their own insecurities but still teaming up to help each other out with their crushes was enjoyable to watch. The "friend group" characters really held my attention for the show and I appreciated the 2nd couple way more because their pacing felt more authentic. 

It was okay. The series attempted to explore the complexities of romance and relationships within the LGBTQ+ community, but ultimately falls short due to its lackluster storytelling and shallow character development.

One of the most glaring issues was its reliance on tired stereotypes. From the brooding bad boy to the innocent and naive protagonist, the characters feel like cardboard cutouts rather than fully fleshed-out individuals. This lack of depth made it difficult for me to become emotionally invested in their journey...

This show defiantly has potential its just I couldn't get into this series so it was dropped TT^TT 

A film that attempts to blend elements of romance, thriller, and horror, but unfortunately, it misses the mark. While the premise might sound intriguing—a vampire romance set in Bangkok—the execution falls flat, resulting in a messy and unsatisfying viewing experience.
