Obviously the best bl series come from Thailand however Korea is really stepping up their game with bl's like Our Dating Sim. Similar to Semantic Error this series revolves around the design of an online game. However, the love story is entirely different and unique. I went through several different emotions over the course of the eight short episodes including a few tears. I was very thankful that these actors were not afraid to actually get in a real kiss, as too often we see our guys clam up and deliver passionless romantic scenes. Very happy with this one overall.

The story is both cute and extremely relatable. I think everyone has felt the urge to give up on love at some point in their life. And often times it's when we have given up that someone comes into our life and turns it upside down. The music was good, not truly anything memorable, but kept with the timing of the series. The cast was adorable, and while they are decent actors, my complaint is always when you can tell the bl actors are straight. Kissing scenes are always going to be your give away, and most of the time straight actors simply can't do a convincing kissing/intimate in Korean and Thai bls. Still, overall the story and acting were good and i would even consider this one rewatchable.

The synopsis of this movie seemed interesting so I decided to add it to my watch list. It took me a while to finally sit down and watch it, but during a Park Seo-joon binge, I decided it was time. The concept of this movie is truly unique and not the same plot that's been done over and over again. Both Park Seo-joon and Lee Dong-wook make appearances so you can already appreciate the beauty and talent of the cast. I understand why the writers left the ending the way they did, however, as a viewer I was hoping for something a bit different (such as a solution to the problem). That's not to say that the ending takes away from the movie, it's just a personal preference. I didn't really laugh too much, but I did she a few tears. Overall it's a decent film and worth a watch.

This is probably one of my favorite Korean dramas that has come out to date. A narcissist on the surface, the prince of our story is so much more than he appears to be, and it's just waiting for his princess to guide him out of the darkness into the light. True, the mixed storyline does get to be a tiny bit much at times, but everything else works together so well I don't even care. The visuals are stunning, the cast chemistry is on fire, the music is classy and elegant, and the climax after the build up does not let us down. I have watched this series multiple times, and I'm sure I'll watch it again at some point.

While I love It and Pai, my favorite character is Fiat's role of Pure. While he is FAR from what we might consider "pure", his heart is in the right place when it comes to his friends. Constantly plotting and playing Cupid, he's aware of everyone's love needs but his own. This drama was difficult for me to find at first, due to the English name not being part of the title or credits. However, once I find it, I watched it multiple times. There is an enemies to lovers aspect that is always fun, an interesting love triangle, and overcoming real world issues; the combination of these elements really make for a wonderful series. There is a little overacting that happens in some places, but not enough to take away from the story. The setting is the typical university seeing we've seen done a thousand times, but it's still really enjoyable.

I love that Japanese dramas are short and easy to watch. They don't have the same production quality as Korean dramas, but it's definitely gotten better over the past few years. I fell in love with Dori in Coffee and Vanilla and decided to watch this one. Though there isn't really a "crime" involved anywhere, the plot is decent. I enjoyed the love triangles and was satisfied with the outcome. However, said outcome was rather predictable and I knew half way through how things would turn out. All in all, the series isn't anything spectacular, but still enjoyable enough to watch all the way through.

After the mess known as "That's My Candy" I am thrilled at this season of Close Friends. Season 1 left a lot to be desired with each episode being it's own (somewhat) complete story line. Fortunately, the blending of two of the couples from the first season was done very well. And the final cut scene tells us there's a strong possibility of reuniting the entire 2Moons/Gen Y cast for a third season. If this followed the trend HIStory did, the writers will learn and improve each new season. One thing I hope improves with our cast is Kimmon and Copter's kissing chemistry. They've been in enough series together at this point that they should be more comfortable in this area. Ohm and Fluke don't have this issue. While they don't use tongue or go full open mouth, they definitely are more comfortable with each other than Kimmon and Copter. This may be a simple workshop fix, which would be great because I love their chemistry otherwise.

I adore this series for a number of reasons. Darren Chen and Sabrina Chen have fantastic chemistry and play off of each other beautifully. This was only the second series I'd seen Darren in (after Meteor Garden) and I loved him just as much in this one. There is a LOT of silliness, but unlike many other dramas, it's very well placed and helps the story move along. Often times I will skip an episode here and there when things start to drag, but that never happened with this drama. Even the secondary relationships were well done and very entertaining. Definitely rewatchable.

Hmmmm

I've seen a lot of mixed reviews on this series. Some loved it, though I'm not sure why, and some hated it, though I'm not sure why. The acting was great. The storyline started out great, but just got confusing, and the ending wasn't even a real ending. I'm not sure if they were expecting to produce more episodes and just didn't, or if that's the way they truly intended to end the series. Does our psycho male lead go crazy? Yes he does. Does he sexually harass our innocent male lead repeatedly? Yes he does. But does our innocent make lead keep inviting him to stay with him and keep going to stay at our psycho's apartment? Yes he does. And when the relationship finally truly starts, who is it to initiate? That's right, it's always the quiet ones who surprise you. Because of the dive into confusion and the finality of complete wtf, I don't find this one rewatchable. But hey, at least the cast is attractive. Even the completely pointless brother who gets thrown in twords the end even though he adds absolutely no substance to the plot whatsoever.
