This was heavy to watch....
Story: This is about the friendship between a senior and junior that turned sour. So this series is not for weak-hearted. There is no scope for romance in it. Shin is a first-year student, calm and introverted kind of guy. Keng is a senior, very handsome, famous in his university but feels pressurized by his parents.Acting: First two episodes acting was awesome. Keng and Shin did their job perfectly. Side characters like pramote and bright were a perfect and supportive friend of Shin. The last episode acting was little out of place. The scene where Keng and shin were crying, I couldn't see any tears. Keng's friend Man did a spectacular job of expressing unrequited love. He brought creepiness in his style and nailed that character.
Music: Music was sad and slow adding more meaning to this genre. I don't understand lyrics yet it enhanced emotions every time it played on screen.
Rewatch: Its painful rewatch this series in my point of view. But that doesn't mean that it was bad.
Overall: Its definitely not a sweet sugary BL. This series is more like a reality that shows some mistakes can never be rectified. Its a must-watch if you are fine with the genre.

Typical hate to love BL story done well
Its a journey of type being homophobic and end up fall in love with a guy.
Acting/cast: The guy who played type brought cuteness and grumpiness to this character. Many told Earth in LBC had perfect features matching type's description in the novel. But Type is LBC was more mature. Gulf did a good job portraying this role.
Mew as Tharn is marvelous. No complaints. Just perfect.
Story: There is nothing new about this story as everyone knows. My complaints are about Lhong got away easily with all those atrocities he did to Tar. There are instances where it was expected to give more nuances to Type's trauma.
So be ready for a heart-wrenching trauma confession and break up scenes. The lead couple nailed with their acting and chemistry. Be it kissing, romance, or cute little fights, we can see their screen presence is magnetic.
Warning: This series has some scenes of dubious consent.
The chemistry between these two is the biggest highlight of the show.

I love you more than oxygen......
The first episode was very pleasant... It starts with Solo having nightmares. Solo and Gui's scenes instantly clicked. Their chemistry is very natural. The other potential pair Phu and Kao(I hope the names are right) is something I'm looking forward to. Then comes the two doctors which I have to wait to pass any judgment.Above all the opening song "You are my Oxygen" is addictive.
This is adapted from a novel with the same name Oxygen,
Story: Orphaned at a very young age, Gui, a fourth-year engineering student, has had to work hard and earn for himself for as long as he can remember. Solo, a freshman in the Faculty of Music, can get anything he wants with a flick of his wrist. Money, fame, good looks, the boy has everything, except his smile.
Basically the theme is one is poor who has nothing still smiles throughout his hardships. The other one has everything except a smile. It's about two characters with different conflicts that meet each other to start their journey.
SO FAR SO GOOD. Let's WAIT AND WATCH...

SAME NAME BUT DIFFERENT PERSONAS
First Epi: The episode starts with T-rex(Gun) introducing his housemates and their habits. The house owner Watee decides to rent his house after his mother's death to pay all the debts. Five guys come to stay in his house. Each of them is a student from different faculty. So the first episode was nice and entertaining to watch. I'm eager to watch the next one too.Acting: The cast is very talented. They have already proved their ability in their previous shows. Krist nailed his expressions who mourning for his mom's death. Off was perfect to portray as a quirky guy and the scenes where he gets scarred of ghosts were funny. Other phobias like Euphobia which Singto has is something I never heard of. Overall the acting was decent.
Story: Six guys who are all Tee have very peculiar and weird habits decides to stay together. This would create many conflicts as some characters are very rigid. It's an interesting concept. I want the script to establish this conflict and provide a good climax.
Lastly, I didn't understand the reason behind Krist wanting roommates by the name "Tee". But that's what drama wants to establish. Even though they all have the same name differ a lot in their habits. Nice start.
