I know guys that my review and score for My Dream will make you scream to the top of your lungs and probably you'll end up getting a new phone because you smashed your iPhone to the wall, simply because my review drove you nuts. I'm just kidding, I love you guys! But please allow me to explain why in my own opinion, My Dream deserves a perfect 10. I arrive at that score by looking at the entire big picture. You see, regardless on how you feel after watching all the episodes, and after you read all the reviews here and in other sites, all it takes is to see the first My Dream fan meeting held in Thailand, and you'll kinda understand why My Dream at the end of the day, is a great BL. So when I saw the Fan meeting at You Tube and I heard all those loud screams from the audience I realized that there's really nothing wrong with me, I don't need to see a therapist or something, as I'm perfectly ok (I'm just kidding guys, therapy is very important in the healing process regardless of the psychological or medical situations that a person is in). The thing is, I'm not the only who's screaming in front of my iPhone simply because of cuteness overload from My Dream guys in fact people at that fan meeting are doing the major screaming out in the open. And I felt good about that. I binge watch My Dream with four other friends. They are super cute straight guys and they had not seen a BL movie before in their lives. (Of course I believe them, but who knows they might have a Tin and Can of Love By Chance sticker on their car dashboard and secretly they own major fans club IG accounts of Together with Me the Next Chapter hottie Max and Tul but I do stand with my assessment that they're really super cute of course I have to admit I day dream about them a lot) I never told them that My Dream is a BL. I do have to be honest, I told them about two pretty actress, Yaimai and Kafe, and of course that sold them to sit down and watch the show with me and obviously to just be quiet or they're gonna be banned from all snacks and drinks for the entire evening. I have to give the show a super huge credit for creating a stand alone site for International fans, it's such a practical solution, how hard can it be to watch the show, all you need to do is go to their site, and under episodes, binge watch the entire thing, you don't need to search for the episodes all over the place, it is so organized, so just for doing that alone, and thinking of the international fans, I mean this is a big step for Thai BL production that deserves a perfect 10. Before we start the show, I knew that I will be screaming, like my friends will look at me weirdly with questions on their eyes as to why I'm screaming. And so just a few minutes on the first episode, I'm already in scream mode. I don't know what's wrong with me or if I'm just trying to get my friend's attention as I finally got them out of their girlfriend's grasp by tricking their girlfriends that we're all gonna watch a football game. I just can't stop screaming whenever Runway and Tanai stares at each other, and weirdly when Runway is with Guide, I'm also screaming like I wanted Runway and Guide to be a couple as well. And so when P'Dream pops up in most scenes, I find myself also screaming just because he has those cute deep dimples. The beach scene and looking at the bridge scene between Tanai and Guide are also moments where I totally scream. I mean, it's so weird, My Dream is making me scream. The last episode where Yim with blindfold on touch the chest of the new character (I forgot his name) I mean that guy, is mega cute also made me scream. And I also want to add that there's something about Guide, whenever he gives that flirty smile, I mean he does it innocently but you know that he's really mega flirty but he's containing the flirtiness because he has an internal struggles going on with his girl and the new feelings for Tanai. So in the last episode when he sat at the car and directly asked Tanai for his feelings, he got me on that, I again screamed. So after binge watching everything, with beer and soda in hand, I asked my friends what they think, because all the time they are so quiet, so one of them was like, "So Kafe needs to be in water all the time so she won't change to Elle?" , and my other friend was like, "So Yim forgive the guy who raped him, and yet it feels like he missed him?" and my third friend was like, "I thought Elle destroyed the dream catcher and P' Dream disappeared, so why is it that he's with P'Dream on the last scene?" I stopped drinking the soda, I realized I should have opted for a bottled water. While I'm constantly screaming and totally engulfed in the cuteness of P'Dream, Guide, Tanai, Runway and Yim's new love team (I hate that I forgot his name, it will pop up later I guess) my friends are asking technical questions and challenging the plot and story lines. This is the reason why I arrived at a Perfect 10 score. I lost my voice that night because My Dream made me scream, I'm not sure if my lungs are still intact, probably I need to duct tape it securely so it won't pop up out my chest when I rewatch Sotus again, as definitely Singto and Krist are also making me scream, regardless of how you feel on the series, the fact that My Dream has super cute actors, is enough for me to say that this is a BL that I'm going to watch again as I wait for the next season. My Dream made my friends think, I'm expecting them to fall for Yaimai and Kafe, and yet their main concern is more on what's going on between the main characters. So I did some Instagram search, and I saw that the casts had done a charity outreach, so that is really fulfilling to know that they did not only do a BL that BL fans worldwide can enjoy and watch but they're also reaching out and bringing joy and hope to the kids in this charity. I mean, how can that not move my heart? I understand that there's a lot of things to work on in the story line but that's the reason why there's Season 2, and I think this will give the writers and actors more room to explore the story lines and give a satisfying plot. So guys just in case you broke your phone 'cause you did not agree with my review, remember to check out the Android versions cause the designs are more innovative and OMG if you've seen the photo of Mean of Love By Chance and his new phone, you'll definitely gonna want to have that phone simply because it will give you the Love by Chance Mean feel. Which obviously you'll thank me because by breaking your phone you'll have an excuse to get a new one. Kidding guys! :)

Dark Blue and Moonlight is not a bad BL. In fact, it's entertaining to watch. However I do have many issues:

1. Aric Chen came up to me as a little bit stiff when it comes to his acting. I understand that his role requires him to be more naive and sometimes focused on self preservation but there are so much scenes where I'm not really convinced that he totally understood the character that he's playing. In fairness to Aric, he's an extremely good looking actor, and no doubt, he will grow as an actor as he move forward in his acting career.

2. I have issues with the clothes and outfits of Yan Fei, he's suppose to be a rich guy in the movie, but he's not giving me that vibes. I saw their promo spots the actor who played Yan Fei is a really cute guy and he dresses really well in real life, so that's interesting that in the movie, they did not give him the proper outfits that suits his role. Also Charles Lin glossy and perfectly combed hair bothers me a lot, but I can't complain, he's an amazing actor. I think he showed real emotions in all of his scenes in this movie.

3. I'm gonna end this review on a positive light. I super super love the music. I mean, its a very touching song, and also I have many favorite scenes as well. So I encourage everyone to check this series out. It's an entertaining BL and a good watch.

What strikes me most about What The Duck The Series is that the story was told in a funny, engaging and touching way. I love the chemistry between Oreo and Strong, and also between Mew and Art. I think this is a very beautiful BL movie romantically told with well thought of plot and scenes. Of course there's no denying that What The Duck has a very beautiful sound track and the music video gives you a full perspective of what the movie is all about. Pop's girlfriend Aim, was also give her own story line, which conflicted with Mew as it turned out Mew is also in love with Oreo in that series. To create this love triangle between brother and sister and Pop in the center of those two hearts is really an interesting twist to the story. I personally love the scene where Strong is at the window and Oreo woke up to the shocking fact that something might have happened between him and Strong. Mew and Art with Got as the third party is an open story line. I don't know if they will explore this in the next season. But again, this reflects the complexities of love. The struggles of Mew and Art presented in the series are presented in a very realistic way and viewers I'm sure can relate to this in their own personal relationships. Because of the acting, and a really beautiful story, I'm giving this movie a 9.5 and encourage everyone to check it out.

Right or Wrong is the story that left a significant impact on me. I think the series is very timely as it touches on the hot button topic right now in Taiwan, which is the fight for marriage equality. What makes this series interesting for me is that the main characters Shi Yi Jie is not only divorced but he has an 8 year old daughter while Fei Sheng Zhe is a young innocent guy back by unfortunately sad experiences as he was betrayed and bullied in the past. I think this is a thinking BL, because it makes you look at the situation from the character's reference point. It makes you ask the questions on why they're behaving like that, and where are those behavior's coming from. I think central to the story line is trust. Both Shi Yi Jie and Fei Sheng Zhe has trust issues from their individual past experiences. And this trust issues came into question in couple of important scenes that defined where the plot is headed to. Personally, I think, both actors brought a lot of emotions to their scenes which makes this an effective BL movie with high re-watch value. I felt good after watching this movie, I feel that all the things that I expected to happen were covered by the story line. So this is a beautiful movie.

I can watch this over and over again, and it won't bother me

I'm not gonna lie, I super think that Bank Thanatip is mega cute. That nothing matters whether the plot was not fully explored, the scenes are super short, there's really not much going on in the show, the repetitive music can be too much sometimes, I mean, I don't care, the fact of the matter is, Bank carried the show from start to finish, and I'm not even factoring Season 1. This is the type of BL that you can watch again and again. And it won't tire you. Because its like a musical BL which when that reality sink on me, I started to appreciate all the music, and why every movements of the cast are like calculated frame by frame. And of course Bank is so cute, and that's enough reason to watch and enjoy this series. I wanna add though, the OST with Copter is really beautiful, the melody and lyrics are so enjoyable. I love it. And now a little spoiler, I think I'm beginning to like and appreciate the character Boston, I mean I can relate to him, loving someone from a distance can be really tough and sometimes heart breaking. The way they presented his character and the way the actor portrayed his role as Boston I think is really perfect. He sends the message straight to the viewers heart. This is a beautiful romantic BL, it's super easy to watch and will give you a light positive vibes.

I'm giving Mr. X and I a perfect 10. I'm not sure if this movie is also known as Be Here For you. But the one I saw has that title. Anyway, this is actually the first BL movie that I've seen, and the reason that got me hooked to the BL genre. That's one of the reason why it's a perfect ten for me. The second reason is that this movie left a strong impact with me. The two scenes that stayed with me since I first saw this movie, which is like two years ago, is that scene when Tao Ye is teaching Zhenxi how to eat the candy. The first time he taught him, Zhenxi thought that he will kiss him, and years later Tao Ye showed him again how to properly eat the candy and this time, he kissed him. To me, it has all the elements of a BL movie, from sad love story to tragedy, the girl who's role is to make Zhenxi jealous, the strong bromance that Tao Ye showed to Zhenxi which Zhenxi misinterpreted as love. And the boyfriend of Zhenxi that took all the pain simply because he loves him. This is a beautiful movie with a touching story that will definitely get you hook to the BL genre.

I'm giving My Tee an over all score of 7. But let me start by saying that I personally think Drake and Frank has this really sweet charismatic chemistry going on. It translate on screen and off screen. I don't know what it is, but they just look really compatible, and this is the strength of the series. The main leads are cast perfectly. I personally find Neo to be really cute but I think, he needs more acting training and classes to really bring out the essence of his character. But as a young Thai actor, this series is a great start for him. As he gain experience from other drama projects, his acting skills will also grow in time. There is nothing wrong with Neo, he's very handsome its just that I would like to see more emotions out of him. Acting work shops will bring these emotions out. As for Phuwin, there's something about his eyes that truly speaks to me, I think its called kindness. The reason why I gave My Tee a score of 7 is because I think there's a lot of confusing scenes and unnecessary plots that are highlighted all through out the series. I do love the scenes at the barber shop, and how the relationship between Drake and his dad are explored. I do love the fact that Drake in the series is technically comfortable with his feelings and how his brother understood this. As opposed to the situation between Tee and his mom. I do think that the writers was not able to give Tee more room to justify why the whole series is about his story. By throwing in a lot of confusing situations and scenes, the story line of Tee, which is suppose to be the main theme of the series was lost somewhere in those confusing and unnecesarry scenes. But don't get me wrong, My Tee is a beautiful BL story. It touches on the young leads perspective of love and where this love will take them.

I have to be really honest on how I feel on this movie. I personally love the song, there's no doubt, it's a quick 10 for me. I super love the chemistry between the two main leads, I think I'm very convinced that definitely there's this thing going on between them, I mean characters wise, not real life (In my wildest dreams, I wish there is) But anyway, what I'm really not convinced on is that the story is a little bit confusing for me. (Either because I was too tired to read the subs, or I'm at my phone gossiping about this super cute new guy who works with my best friend whom my best friend is not telling me about she's kinda afraid that I'll play my cards when she obviously saw him first, but it just happens that I also saw him the other day when I had my coffee there at her work place which kinda gave me the right to say I also saw him first) Basically it might not be the series, maybe it's me. But I just don't understand the plot. The flashbacks bothered me a lot, the major crying bothered me a lot but of course the major kissing did not bothered me a lot, that scene is definitely a 10 for me. But unfortunately because the series failed to get my attention (It might be my fault when I was watching, I think the series is beautiful and the actors are mega cute) I arrive at a final score of 8.5. But I will watch this again just so I fully understand it, minus my phone of course next to me, so I won't be distracted.

Let me start by saying that I wished they had continued the series, in that way all the plots of the characters are fully explored. But just judging from all the scenes that I've watched, I can say that, this is a really nice beautiful BL. I understand that there are scenes that people might find uncomfortable, it might be seen as direct bullying and that's really understandable. But I think, if you give the character the chance to explain why they're doing those things and why they're acting like that, you'll see that it's really about personalities. We're all different. And each of us came from different sets of experiences that defines our actions and ways of thinking in life. In Gu Hai's defense, his initial aggressive behavior marked with constant teasing towards Bai Luo Yin is softened up later on in the story, as the scenes progressed and revealed that it's actually his way of expressing how he truly feels. Probably if they continue the story, then they can fully give Gu Hai all the scenes he needs to fully communicate what he truly felt. Addicted Heroin is a wonderful BL, with heart touching sound tracks. There are scenes that are really funny, and there's also scenes that are touching. Both characters are living in complicated situations where both their families and their personal feelings for each others are clashing and forcing them to take a stand and make a choice.

My Day is exactly what we need right now

My Day is an interesting BL because it came during the time where regardless of where you live in the world, the Pandemic had totally made things tougher and challenging. I'm giving this series a Full 10 stars because it's amazing what they had done considering the fact that most Philippine BL series that was launched during this time all have video conferencing themes, while My Day goes for a full cinematic BL series that we're all used to seeing in most Thai productions. With the lockdowns in place, sometimes you have to think about how the actors and the production were able to navigate through all these challenges just to bring the story to life. The OST is one of the best BL OST that we're ever produced, its up there with the OST from Tharn Type, Waterboyy, 2gether and Sotus. It has that happy good vibes feel that we all need particularly given the fact that we're all going through the Pandemic. Let's start with the cinematography. It's perfect, and it's beautiful. The actors are perfect for their roles. There's a chemistry between Miko and Aki. You can see it on their body language and in their eyes. Of course the rich boy poor boy theme is always interesting. But this series is also about family, and that's something that will be interesting to see on how the drama develops in future episodes. I do wanna point out that it's important to watch the trailer because it's one of those amazing perfect trailers that kinda give you the look of the show, and yet it gives you all those reasons to be hooked to it. One of the most controversial role is Jelai, he plays Ace's assistant. He can be too much and over the top but there are many instances that Jelai is really funny. I think that role is important because Jelai delivers the light funny break that the scenes needs. Another character that I think was acted really well is Moira, she's the girlfriend of Sky. She's very moody and bossy, and that kinda reminded everyone that this is a BL movie, you will be rooting for Sky and Ace. I love how she gave life to that role. All in all, this is a must watch BL. And I think My Day sets the standards on how a Philippine BL should look like. My Day can definitely compete with 2gether, 2Moons, Sotus, Tharn Type and Together with Me.

My score of 8 applies to the whole Kiss Me Again series, including the Pete and Kao scenes. The problem I had with Kiss Me Again is that they mixed Pete and Kao with all the other couples, when in reality they can just focus on Pete and Kao as of all the other couples, they had the best scenes and most interesting story. I love the fact that they're going to do a stand alone BL series just for Pete and Kao because I feel that their story was not fully explored, and mixing the stories from the other couples is kinda confusing to be honest. Newwie and Tay has perfect chemistry. They both look cute together, and both of them can really act. Earth is also in this series but he's not paired up with Newwie. I guess, I'm not yet ready to let go of Earth and Newwie love team from Waterboyy. I do have to add that I think the hair style of Earth in this series really looks cute on him. He looks so much younger and so much cuter. There's a lot of scenes from the other couples where the acting is very stiff and there's a lot of pauses in the script. I think the story line needs to be completely polished. I do like the suspenseful music background, I think it's cute and I think it helps by covering the weak acting coming from couple of actors. All in all, I only give this series an 8. Maybe with more polished dialogues and more interesting scenes, I will give the series a much more higher score. I will end this review by saying, basically all they need to have an amazing series for Kiss Me Again is to remove all the other actors and just retain New, Tay and Earth, work the story lines among these three talented actors. And they'll end up with a powerful BL that I think will enjoy the same success as Sotus, a BL that they can take internationally in terms of Fan Meeting power.

The overall score of this film for me is 7, which in MDL is technically "I like it" which is really true, I mean I watched the entire movie, never did I skipped a single scene, and I do encourage everyone to check this BL out. But if you check out my other reviews, I usually give good high scores, so 7 is a little bit of a low score for me even if in MDL it's essentially an ok score, as it's the I like it score. Let me explain why I gave this movie only a score of 7, I have nothing against Duke and Edison, I mean these are really two cute and gorgeous actors. With that said, my issue is in the casting. I personally don't think that they have a chemistry. I'm just not feelin' it. If I said that I think they have chemistry, that will be lying. Again there is nothing wrong with Duke and Edison, it's just that they are not clicking together. My suggested solution to this reality really is for Duke and Edison to do more acting workshops together, in that way both of them will be more used to each other, and this will translate to better chemistry and their acting skills will improve, as they are giving me a very stiff performance. I think the director should have picked up on this more, by giving the actors more rehearsals, and more acting training. Stay Away from Me has a challenging theme, they essentially become step brothers, and step brothers falling in love with each other is one of the common BL plots, so basically the job of the actors is to convince us that they truly love each other, and that their BL film will provide a fresh new approach to this common recurring theme. I think the writing and plot lines should have given the actors more room, so they can tackle their roles and give more life to their characters. These are major issues that totally have a film wide impact. As for the music and the fan made music videos that I've seen in other sites, I think its beautiful. I mean these edited videos showed the potentials of the movie as Stay Away from Me has an interesting plot, but the thing is, the movie has structural issues that prevented it to fully give its viewers a satisfying experience. Again, the two actors are very good looking, it's just that they need more time in rehearsals and acting workshops and I personally think they'll be fine. I do believe that in their future movies, they will become more seasoned and more experience, and as an actor they will grow as they gain more experience and exposure in their acting career. Good luck to Duke and Edison!

I'm giving 2gether a high mark simply because I'm a sucker for perfectly cast Main leads. I think Bright and Win carried the whole show from start to finish despite many plot flaws, unexplored characters and confusing unnecessary scenes. Once you're hooked to Bright and Win, it really doesn't matter how many weird story lines they throw in, nothing matters you'll spend each Friday night analyzing whether in real life you'll be lucky to meet your own Bright or Win. This is the power of a strong casting, the reason why the show 2gether placed Bright and Win in the center of the BL map. Of course people would argue that there should be more chemistry and intimacy between Bright and Win, and that Sarawat needs to show more emotions, but I mean, do you remember all those scenes where Bright will just stare at Win or at Pam, those are the kind of stares that will melt anyone on the spot. It's hard to distinguish who is Sarawat and who is Bright from those scenes. He's simply drop dead gorgeous. During interviews, Bright revealed that Win likes to play around the set and this is why he's Tine. There's that boyish charms and innocence really. This is his first movie. And probably knowing GMM, they will end up like Krist Perawat from Sotus to mainstream character roles. Although Krist still has the Friend.ship show in YouTube with Singto. It will be interesting to see whether they stay with this team ups or they venture with other team ups. Bright had appeared in two new music videos where he plays straight roles, this could be the preview of his next drama projects for GMM as it seems this is something that he really likes to do. As for Win, probably they will pair him up with another upcoming BL actor. But going back to my review. I think the major character that they did not develop is Green. They should have stayed with the story line that he's chasing Tine, simply because its funny and cute. And then later on, introduce Dim so Green will realize what true love is as opposed to him forcing Tine to like him. Pam should have been introduced early on, changing her story line so we can see the progression on how she learns to let go of Sarawat. As for Frank and Drake, these are My Tee main leads, I think they deserve better roles, and not just support roles plus their characters are not really important to the main plot. By removing their characters, Type and Man's story line can be further explored. Finally for the screaming girls, I can't blame them, I will even join their squad and scream right in front of Bright and Win. Probably I'll be screaming even after the director yelled "cut" and kicked me off the set.

Let me start by saying that Alex and Benny are extremely cute together. I feel their chemistry. And Sky Li is super cute. I honestly watched this film simply because I find Sky Li to be mega handsome. I think it has a cute plot, but maybe I'm just not feeling the characters that are fused to live with Benny and Alex. Sometimes I feel that there are scenes that are forced, some acting are extremely rehearsed that they look very unnatural. I don't wanna explore more about why I'm not feelin' this movie. But I do want to give credit to Sky Li, as he's really very cute. I think given a more challenging and interesting script and role, Sky Li will definitely shine, I mean he's a cute actor, and his facial expressions are really so charming. With that said, this film scores 6.5 on my review. But please do watch this film, you will find many funny and cute scenes.
