Rewatch
-
8. Unknown

-
9. A Tale of Thousand Stars
Thai Drama - 2021, 10 episodes

Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes

-
11. TharnType

Verdict: Not to be toxic, but Type is the character of all time. The character conflict in this show puts the rest of BL to shame. It was so satisfying to watch these characters grow.

17. Laws of Attraction
Thai Drama - 2023, 8 episodes
Verdict: No surprise coming from Miss Lakorn Fan herself, but this absolutely eats. It's so stupid and I adore every second of it. I want to watch Charn being a problem forever.
-
18. Blueming
Korean Drama - 2022, 11 episodes

21. Hidamari ga Kikoeru
Japanese Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Verdict: Really beautiful adaptation of a story I love very much. It's quiet, slow, and winding, but the actors brought the characters to life with such care.
-
22. Perfect Propose
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
Verdict: Man, the things that Japanese BL is doing with a kitchen in a standard apartment in 6 episodes make every other country look dumb. This was beautiful. I really had a lovely time with these characters.
-
23. Cupid's Last Wish
Thai Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Verdict: A super unexpected knock-out. Despite a slightly shakier script than most, EarthMix deliver exactly the same amount of charm and chemistry.
-
24. The Gifted
Thai Drama - 2018, 13 episodes
Verdict: Not the strongest use of the cast I've ever seen, but a solidly fun plot with a really phenomenal ending. I do get it, I really do.
-
25. Not Me
Thai Drama - 2021, 14 episodes
Verdict: Incredible execution of an excellent concept with some pretty flimsy politics. Some of the most compelling production choices I've ever seen from GMMTV.

26. Playboyy

27. To My Star 2
Korean Drama - 2022, 10 episodes
Verdict: Despite being a break up season 2, this series delivered a surprisingly coherent and satisfying character arc. I enjoyed this expansion.
-
28. We Are
Thai Drama - 2024, 16 episodes
Verdict: Super cute ensemble story! Despite a low stakes and drama-free plot, it kept my attention the whole time through charming and entertaining characters. Very feel good!
-
29. Miracle
Taiwanese Drama - 2023, 13 episodes
Rewatch
-
30. Midnight Museum
Thai Drama - 2023, 10 episodes
Verdict: A little bit sloppy with a rushed ending, Midnight Museum was a feast of apocalyptic fantasy with an incredibly charismatic main pair.
-
31. The Hidden Moon (Uncut Ver.)
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Verdict: Perhaps the perfect haunted house show for hopeless romantics. Really unique and solid production design elevated a rookie cast and tight budget into something really beautiful.
-
32. Koi wo Suru nara Nidome ga Joto
Japanese Drama - 2024, 6 episodes
Verdict: An intriguing and mature character study with an understated approach and satisfying ending.
-
33. Before Your Eyes Stop
Korean Drama - 2020, 8 episodes
Verdict: This put me in the blender for 80 minutes straight and then ended with the most lackluster kiss to grace television. KBL came so close to beating the accusations.
-
34. Theory of Love
Thai Drama - 2019, 12 episodes
Verdict: Really, really cute show with a lot of heart despite a slightly rocky landing. I love this romcom overload of a show. It's so much fun.
-
35. Cherry Magic Thailand
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Verdict: For someone who is not a huge fan of pure-hearted romance, this was an unexpectedly moving watch. A bit saccharine for my taste, but it helped melt me this winter.
-
36. Love Sea
Thai Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Verdict: So ungodly biased towards Fort I can't even rate this one properly. Amazing.

-
37. The Trainee
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Verdict: Suuuuuuper cute and polished ensemble workplace romcom. It's not what I really wanted from this pair, but it is impossible to deny how well done it was.
-
38. One Room Angel
Japanese Drama - 2023, 6 episodes
Verdict: This did not end up being anything like I expected it to be, but I did really enjoy it. It's really rare that I like the way a show handles an afterlife. But this one was moving and sweet.
-
39. Jai Son Rak
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Verdict: A solid step up for GL that got lost a little bit in trying to be pretty for the camera. I loved the more complete and tight script, but the last two episodes kind of fell apart.
-
40. The Sign
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Verdict: Saint and Idol Factory might have bigger dreams than the company is currently able to handle, but this show really captured my heart despite its ragged edges. I'll always support a heartfelt, unique concept that falters over a really clean project with nothing new to say.

41. 609 Bedtime Story
Thai Drama - 2022, 11 episodes
Verdict: The only reason this is so low is that I find the office drama very dull. I absolutely love the concept and magic of this series!
-
42. Peaceful Property
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Verdict: A good show that could have been great. Needed to kill some darlings and grow some teeth in the over-arching plot to truly excel.
-
43. Fish Upon the Sky
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Verdict: Objectively, this was not the best show. But based on how much I wanted to see Phuwin do physical comedy antics?? 12/10 perfect show.
-
44. Home School
Thai Drama - 2023, 18 episodes
Verdict: Despite a mildly bland central theme, this show pulled out a very fun mystery with charming characters and plenty of enjoyable scenes. Perhaps not the most original, but well constructed and well performed.
-
45. To My Star
Korean Drama - 2021, 9 episodes
Verdict: Probably a tighter story, but ultimately less compelling than Where Your Eyes Linger. Really enjoying Hwang Daseul's direction in this universe.
-
46. Manner of Death
Thai Drama - 2020, 14 episodes
Verdict: A fun thriller with charming characters... but ultimately a story that failed to live up to it's inflated reputation.
-
47. Lao Chan
Thai Drama - 2024, 15 episodes
Verdict: The thing about soap operas is they rule and are also the perfect medium of television. Absolutely worth it. Will be watching the whole stupid universe.
-
48. The Gifted: Graduation
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
-
49. Wandee Goodday
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Verdict: Utterly charming cast, compelling production, but with a fumbling story and fairly juvenile character choices.
-
50. 4Minutes (Sultrier Version)
Thai Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Verdict: Ultimately, what I expected (slightly derogatory). But always excited to see my JjayFuaiz again and pleasantly surprised by Bas!
-
51. School Tales The Series
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Verdict: Like all anthologies, it was pretty uneven! But I liked enough of them to stick with it, and enjoyed seeing some of my favorites in new roles :)
-
52. Never Let Me Go
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Verdict: A great script and cast ruined by a mediocre director. It's living rent-free in my head as I imagine it into something less clumsily staged and that takes better care in it's beats.
-
53. Don't Say No
Thai Drama - 2021, 12 episodes
Verdict: One of my least favorite MAME series. To me, this one felt more formulaic than charming toxic soap opera.
-
54. Dream
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Verdict: Not quite the leap in quality I was hoping for from this company, but still a step up from GAP nonetheless. Onwards and upwards, lesbians.
-
55. The Rebound
Thai Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Verdict: This show started out quite unique and entertaining, but it massively fumbled the landing. Still a huge MeenPing fan, though.
-
56. Jazz for Two
Korean Drama - 2024, 8 episodes
Verdict: A competent and fairly standard K-BL. Nothing particularly groundbreaking here, but enjoyable.
-
57. Love is like a Cat
Korean Drama - 2024, 12 episodes
Verdict: If I was watching this show for any other reason than to see Mew be silly and in love, it would probably have been more disappointing.
-
58. GAP
Thai Drama - 2022, 12 episodes
Verdict: An important, but ultimately not very good GL title. Passion and determination alone couldn't save this script.
-
59. ReminderS
Thai Drama - 2019, 3 episodes
Verdict: Like, this is a stupid advertisement for S2. But PerthSaint looks SO good. And that's what matters. If I was in any of these relationships we would have broken up, though.
-
60. Love by Chance
Thai Drama - 2018, 14 episodes
Verdict: Historic (derogatory). I love many of these actors and MAME verse, but I just can't get past the history of this production to enjoy it.
-
61. A Boss and a Babe
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Verdict: We watched this to look at Force, and by golly did we look at Force. No complaints there. The plot however?
-
62. Oxygen
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Verdict: Look, I was only here to see Nut Supanut get warm milk and a hug. But this was high-key insane (negative). I did have fun though, so that's on me.
-
63. The Tuxedo
Thai Drama - 2022, 8 episodes
Verdict: This was not good, but I did have fun. Baffling and poorly done in all directions, but did that stop me from watching??
-
64. Why R U?
Thai Drama - 2020, 13 episodes
Verdict: I only enjoyed the ZeeSaint story, and spent the last several episodes fast-forwarding through anything that wasn't them. It did inspire me to finally watch TharnType though!
-
65. Anti Reset
Taiwanese Drama - 2024, 10 episodes
Verdict: A strange one! This production had a lot of promise but largely missed the mark. I finished it... but I didn't really enjoy it.
-
66. Dead Friend Forever - DFF
Thai Drama - 2023, 12 episodes
Verdict: What started as a fun whodunnit quickly morphed into a pseudo-paranormal horror that didn't stick the landing.
