1. Januar

bl comedy peak
-0,5 unnecessary 11th hour love misunderstanding
+0,5 the managers' relationship

14. Januar

light hearted comedy
with commentary on self-perception and narrative of the self

17. Januar

asymmetrical love story
japanese, comedy-drama

18. Januar

a BL
+0,5 pretty japanese production bonus

20. Januar

the sweetness, the melancholy,
I can identify with JW
noble idiocy as idiocy
the hope, the way he looks more his age when happy

20. Januar

classic Parallel romance, pretty people, a bit goofy
a BL where Bed Friend wasnt
this would have been a strong contender for best Thai BL a few years back even without the frottage

20. Januar

Nice title melody
sweet slightly melancholic with "blood sucking"-mother of the love interest in  the second half where it loses a bit of focus and gets a bit loose
oh no its a love fated by an encounter in their youth

25. Januar

nice cat food ad

1. Februar

Visually a feast but the narrative is a bit abrupt for me (ie theres alot more foreshadowing in untranslated background text). Very much sweeping you up in the quest to make people happy

2. Februar

not a fan of the romance teacher-student ,stepbrothers
Toki is such good character in this weird story
and ending with a kiss negates the whole see the world for yourself speech just before it did not commit one way or the other

8. Februar

solid short queer

11. Februar

A show about women with self discovery in the second half

18. Februar

Good communication and a wonderful training montage
communication as the tool to problem solving and problem avoidance
example of how much Thai BL has matured

24. Februar

24. Februar

Disappointing ending to a not fully realised story

2. März

It's about the hard work that is the way out of that whole without walls. 5. 23.02.24

3. März

A successfull adaptation that could even improve on the Japanese drama

7.  März

Its well made but I cannot connect.

9. März

Effectively uses the  competing lovers trope 8. 20.02.24
Surprisingly realistic depiction of high school as well as the things we do to ourselves to "protect" ourselves. This episode really sets this series apart and explains the review discrepancy 11. 05.03.24
Both love interests are well characterised and you can understand Taekyung choosing either one but the lighting annoys me

10. März

This could be a pretty nice series if the initial confrontation was less of a premeditated assault 3. 3.3.24
Hadnt they spend that much time on an ultimatively unexplored plot point they would have time for the conflicts that were just resolved by themselves also the montages why was so much time spend on montages

14. März

oddly paced, ending involving a uneccessary prior meeting, melancholy pill, that looks better than it is

15. März

Pacing and narrative focus could be better.
A 10 part story should not employ cliff hangers this much 9. 8.3.24
Enjoyable story, overstretched and unresolved

24. März

Dongwook gets less likable by the episode. Lets see what can turn this around 4. 19.03.24
Whats with the focusing on the ears
This would have worked better as a story about why some relationships fail

the narrative structure was not for me building up the miscommunication to thend only to have a typical romance last episode

It was not because of the well characterised "second lead" that I got second lead syndrome here

24. März

A nice story of gay awakening packed into a sitcom

5. April

This is not a highschool series. I recognise Ryos experience  4. 8.3.24
It's not a BL but as a coming of age drama it manages to convey the feeling of life while still in high school very well it does not make the most thrilling viewing eyperience though 5. 15.03.24
The Gay bonding has moved this work into coming of age Lighting Ryo up with passing headlights for his almost confession chefs kiss 6. 22.03.24
Its a minimally invasive fix-it to highschool life having them commit all the casual cruelty but also ackowledging that immediately 7. 29.03.24

I thouroughly enjoyed this depiction of the teenage experience

6. April

Pacing and side character characterisation was a little off.

7. April

They really made an effort in balancing the emotions but the second couple gets too little screen time as usual 14. 07.04.24

9. April

They clearly have two distinct perspectives on what happened in the past 2. 27.02.24
They fleshed out to perspectives and made them both equally responsible

10. April

As they are coming out at the same time the comparison to To Be Continued are obvious. This one is more mature and queerer closer to a realistic experience 2. 13.3.24
If the opposition of his family was the big impediment to their happiness it was solved  wrong for me and if if wasnt the last episode was wasted.

A disappointing ending to promising series

10. April

12. April

Fun comedy

13. April

Over the top comedy with a conventionally slightly disappointing ending. why must they feature real life compromises in the resoluion of this type of series

17. April

basic slightly problematic BL 4. 02.04,24
Way too rushed in the last two episodes four more episodes were needed to make the story progression in the last two plausible and even then ..

19. April

20. April

HIgh communication trope subversion with commentary on star culture and queerness in the public eye.

20. April

Its wonderful. The twist was predictable but the face of disbelief and resignation was 1+ 6. 13.04.24
10 episodes of fun and games just to come to the very real emotional work and stress of coming out?! 12. 20.04.24

25. April

mmh It has wrong cadence very unnerving that would fit with the subject matter but lets wait and see 1. 11.04.24
They both have some serious work ahead of them 4. 18.04.24
Delivered as promised them recognising each others hurt and clashing with their coping mechanisms

27. April

A horny drama with a worthwhile story ? 5. 05.04.24

29. April

They  realised the episode arcs well but the short format is detrimental to a flow 14. 24.04.24
I dont like the we solve corruption with nepotism resolution

29. April

the character exposition for jim 1. 04.02.24
this so well made the acting and the music 4. 06.04.24
A nearly perfect story

1. Mai

Youthful they both seem very young 1. 14.02.2024
Its delightfully stupid 2. 21.02.2024
Love the colours and their meanings what do green and yellow mean though? 10. 17.04.24
True to its free flowing style a lot was left in the air but it was fun to follow along

3. Mai

Ice and Fire

4. Mai

An improvement on the first one. It really needed them to completely misunderstand each other.

4. Mai

Near perfect series the preview for the next episode makes me a bit weary 8. 06.04.24
A fitting retarding episode 9. 13.04.24
All the things happening in Episode 12 were necessary to wrap and resolve this plot. I just wish they would have given themselves more time for that. There were a lot of interesting points I wish they dwelled on longer. Maybe by cutting the health and the return of Le to the gang

5. Mai

5. Mai

5. Mai

Why did they have to pack one episode with all this heavy stuff?! 15. 05.05.24
Overall this was very good and enjoyed it, but some story lines where oddly timed

6. Mai

Romance stayed away from this Dog Cafe just like any sensible cat would.

9. Mai

Worringly close to life

9. Mai

I dont know how I feel about the ending

10. Mai

The music and audio design is compelling. I do love the Minato character he thought through and consistent. 5. 01.05.24
It's so heartbreaking. There is this whole cast of people I want to be happy and the series has a lot of work to do to achieve that. 6.04.05.24
Why belabour the point that Nana is only teaching people sign language out of romantic interest and as a persobal gift. In a show about hearing and deaf getting together this exclusionary attitude feels weird as the representative attitude of the life long deaf character. 8. 09.05.24

11. Mai

11. Mai

11. Mai

Someone in the production for this series of drama specials has  a thing for uneven teeth 1. 11.05.24
It works better as a second season

11. Mai

Predictable progression so far. But in what world is Kyo 45-47 5. 04.05.24
Making handwaving gestures at solving the issues while trying to obfuscate them with the casting choice really leaves me with a bad taste

12.  Mai

two people navigating their homosexual awakening with the internalised homophobia 2. 25.04.24
This works as an ending even though i am hoping for an happy ending 4. 12.05.24

13. Mai

13. Mai

Slowly peeling away all the layers for this reveal 1+ 5. 07.05.24
There are some wobbly bits and some high points overall very good

14. Mai

Cute but a bit strechted out

16. Mai

This show has colours. It also has title and episode titles that that are important cant confess. 1. 25.04.24
Cute show about finding how you love someone

18. Mai

Strongberry has taken commerciality = low quality too literally Sound lighting storytelling 1. 17.05.24
Blossom Campus is a badly lit well shot badly sound designed trope collection.

All scenes that feature the delevopment that is referenced or implied seem to have been cut at some point.

19. Mai

20. Mai

I ve been a Count of Monte Cristo fan since I saw the my first adaptation at age 6 or 7 but usually my taste is to simplistic to appreciate well made Grand Revenge schemes. I liked this.

20. Mai

A colourful mystery coming of age drama ? 2. 30.04.24
A colourful mystery coming of age drama with nice music

24. Mai

The Thai ensemble school BL adapted for the year 2023. And a bout of fever amnesia  about big problem we had ? Love it 6.21.05.24
The weakest episode yet they really wanted this fall out and then getting together put didnt give it any of the components time for an impact. 7. 21.05.24
This is the most in your face colour coded pair I love it would not be surpirised if they were literally nicknamed blue and red 8. 22.05.24

24. Mai

This is such a good series. It can make me feel things. Its about wishes and desires and how they are life. 5. 25.03.24
Deeply satisfying

25. Mai

30. Mai

A BL about how you look at people and what you see (in them)

30. Mai

A warm embrace by a familiar setup 1. 11.04.24
Theyve grown closer and using their  colours 5. 09.05.24
I expected a domestic healing slice of life story and got too much angst in the second half

1. Juni

Well shot multi purpose marketing

1. Juni

3. Juni

A sweet work place romance with a little angst. And some colours

10. Juni

Successfull as an unsuccessfull romance

20. Juni

Colour confirmation even if its subtle 4. 09.05.24
Shirasaki getting confident in his acting while Hamaya gets shocked out his reserve 5. 16.05.24
Love the colours lets see what the flash back episode brings 6. 23.05.24
Seeing where Hayamas disaffection comes from and why he remembers Shirasaki 7. 30.05.24
Hamaya breaking out of his shell and showing his colours as well as Shirasaki realising that he likes Hamaya with this beautiful colouring 8. 06.06.24
They are not communicating an both think the other does not like them but they both know that they themself like the other also colour coded bouquets! 9. 13.06.20
Fitting end to this they both didnt become communicators but these lonely people found somebody to be less lonely with 10. 20.06.24

23. Juni

this is so fluffy and tooth rottingly sweet i love it 4. 28.04.24
A Green Episode 8. 26.05.24
This fell flat for me Too much drama in tone and the wrong message for all parties involved 10. 09.06.24
Half rehash half piling on the separation Would have been better had they stopped at ep 9 11. 16.06.24
They did not even manage how to properly resolve the obstacle they had put in place muich less make this satisfying to watch. 12.23.06.24 

This works best as a 9 episode fluff romance where it has the best arc for Moo and Kang

26. Juni

short, fun, thoughtful, celebration of the joy of life

29. Juni

A sincere comedy about admitting that youve used someone as your beard 3. 25.05.24 A nice backstory episode 4. 01.06.24 Friends to lovers 5. 08.06.24
And another addition to this funny story 6. 24.06.24
The fact that she is supposed to have ate that!.. 7. 29.06.24
I enjoyed the athological style

5. Juli

The pacing wasnt for me. Too much drama too close to the ending to make the ending feel resolved. 4. 05.07.24

8. Juli

What a way to ruin a silly show. Why is the ending so much more dense in regards to the story this could have been spread out better. 7. 01.07.24
This could have been a silly sweet show with a bit of a pacing problem, but they had to put in that statement about rape in arelationship in a already consent challenged episode. 8. 08.07.24

12. Juli

19. Juli

While not all of his actions and immediate reaction have changed his change of attitude gets beautifully displayed. 2. 04.06.24
So gut punchingly devastating but so human. A very well made middle episode! 5. 16.06.24
Building up to the queer experience of being miscategorised and having expectations based thereon put on you 7. 21.06.24
A layered examination of queers and societal pressures. 11. 19.07.24

20. Juli

Despite the opening scene a promising exposition. 1. 04.05.24
Three consecutive episodes of upset Both the assaults being played for romantic bonding moments and the colour shift in this episode are compounding. 9. 29.06.24
The last episode really was magically overcoming mental health struggles by toughing it out. Pairing an assaultee with an assaulter. And why did we have to watch them forgiving the father if hes not in the wedding. 12. 20.07.24

1. August

Leichte Kost 1. 26.06.24
Too many twists in a last episode for a story that needed a good wrap up. It had its moments 12. 01.08.24

6. August

Another short series where Sukfilm examines the struggle between societal pressure and being true to your own desire.

8. August

Nice premise 3 people trying to escape all needing support. 1. 30.05.24
Moving forward. 6. 27.06.24
We are in the meaningful part of the series 7. 04.07.24
At bit slow at the start. A light hearted show that was suprisingly earnest in its potrayal of queer life 12. 08.08.24

8. August

Nice backstory and colours 1. 11.07.24
Colours are inconclusive 2. 11.07.24
A good core idea and story music was a bit off and had few odd choices esp in ep 9 10. 08.08.24

15. August

If it maintains this level of comedy this can be fun ride. 1. 11.07.24
Failed to maintain the comedic balance it set out with.  Otheerwise the Chinese costume BL it seemed to be from the start. 12. 15.08.24

17. August

It had some good points on rehabilitation but overall standard fare with some lengths 16. 17.08.24

23. August

Another bubble bursting show. Hirokos realistic concerns clash with  the over the top comedy that would only be funny with me if this was a bubble show 7. 16.08.24
What a messy unsatisfying ending 8. 23.08.24

25. August

I'still figuring out the colours but I am enjoying the crip camerawork and framing. 4. 03.06.24
Cute backstory on the architect/mechanic 6. 09.06.24
Why did they decide to market two series as one when they are so different in tone. 13. 25.08.24

27. August

Story overall moves too fast but also in-episode arcs feel miscalibrated alot of space is given to the setup and not much to the resolution. They tried to stuff to many plot points into this short series.

31. August

A beautiful adaptation. Devotion duty sacrifice and the relationships the world is build on. A bittersweet romance that was almost in balance with the sacrifice of the small. I only experienced a slight mid show slump, 40. 31.08.24

2. September

Good introduction 1. 01.07.24
Even better second episode The stranger from the bus storyline has the potential to be very annoying. 2. 08.07.24
Colour Exchanges to reinforce them changing their relationship  7. 12.08.24
Loved how they got gradually closer Taishin getting a better understanding of Takara and Takara's reason for being so withdrawn revealed. The depiction of the "creepy uncle" really is the only blemish on this otherwise welll thought out series. 10. 02.08.24

6. September

A lovely story about finding support and yourself. 7. 07.09.24

12. September

Brialliant greens 1. 26.06.24
We are getting more of their personalities and greens not sure about personal colours though the opening credits have blue yellow but that has yet to be actually realised 2. 03.07.24
What a solid foundation of mutual feelings 3. 10.07.24
A third of the series taken for this thourough establishment of a relationship foundation and character fault lines. If the resolution is as well grounded this is going to be the this years best. 4. 17.07.24
The girl interested in Kohei could have been an interesting parallel, #but after the action of the last episodes this one felt so passive, #there needed to be a counter point. The love story just got momentum and they stopped that so abruptly 7. 07.08.24
Unless I am missing a major cultural factor the influence that Maya is supposed to have on Koheis social and cognitive abilities is beyond believable and a black spot on this otherwise great story 8. 14.08.24
After a nice episode 9 we got an episode of no romantic movement again Taichi not realising that he has to show more than tolerance for Kohei for his feelings to be understood should have been this episodes message 10. 28.08.24
This was too small of a step forward for the penultimate episode pushing all the resolution and any outward acknowledgement of reciprocity into the last episode with a timeskip on top. This would have been a good episode if it had come earlier in the series, then we could have seen them develop from there.
I dont even really know what Taichi's hang up is .
This would have been better if I could believe that Taichi only had  subconcious feelings for Kohei.11. 03.09.24
Great visuals but a dissappointing second half we got the introduction of  a secondary character instead of the growth and adaptation the couple needed 12. 12.09.24

13. September

Interesting, feels like too little story 1. 26.07.24
Having the different time layers  confirmed and revealed to be somewhat shared 4. 16.08.24
The finale was truly unnerving, limbo made palpable. Those first minutes of surreal softness really got to me. Aperfect ending to good show.
Regrets Consequences Redemption LIMBO 8. 13.09.24
