Why R U? (Thai Drama)— A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* I think young actors think of BL shows as their gateway into more "real" acting gigs down the line. It is a ticket to instant fame, in the coveted teenage and young women age group, since they tend to be the most vocal on social media as well as buy…

Dear Doctor, I’m Coming For Soul (Thai Drama)— A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* If you regularly watch BL shows from Thailand, there are some basic things you can expect. You know what I am talking about— college going kids, in white-shirt uniforms, either studying engineering or medicine, falling in love in cliche and overly-dramatic ways at uni. So, whenever there is an "adult" BL…

Plus & Minus (Taiwanese Drama)— A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* I am a sucker for a well developed friends-to-lovers story. In romancelandia and even the BL world, the overrated enemies-to-lovers trope is way more popular, probably because the spark is more evident from the beginning. But, Plus & Minus is a fantastic example of why friends-to-lovers works so wonderfully if…

KinnPorsche (Thai Drama) — A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* KinnPorsche is a visual delight. With its high-end production quality, excellent set designs, well-developed characters and a dramatic plot line, KP goes beyond the realms of BLs to be a truly fantastic show. This show gets sexayyyy and for a noona like me, it made me fan myself and press…

TharnType: The Series (Thai Drama) — A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* TharnType: The Series is a BL staple. Released in 2019, this show is pretty famous amongst international audiences and is often touted as one of the best-made BL stories from Thailand. And while it definitely has its shortcomings, it is a pretty good watch! The story of TharnType revolves around…

Old Fashion Cupcake (J Drama) — A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* Old Fashion Cupcake is like the sweet, fluffy cupcake that looks delicious on the outside, but there is a surprisingly complex compote core at the center. You have to really bite into it to taste the whole thing, and that's when your tastebuds are transported to heaven. This show tells…

I Told Sunset About You / I Promised You The Moon (Thai Drama) — A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* As the title indicates, I will be reviewing I Told Sunset About You and I Promised You The Moon together, because they are basically the same story told in two parts. At the end of the two parts, you will have watched one of the best coming-of-age stories I have…

Bad Buddy (Thai Drama) — A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* A warm summer day. A wet nose boop from a cute dog. Eating your favorite dessert. Spending a fun day out with friends. A soft headbutt from a fluffy cat. A fresh cool breeze in a meadow. Bad Buddy feels like all of these things. Most simply, it is ridiculously…

The Novelist (J Drama) — A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* If I had to describe The Novelist in one word, it would be weird. This drama is just plain weird. It's one that you have to sit and mull over after you finish watching it and it still might not make complete sense. I am still not sure what to…

HIStory 4: Close To You (Taiwanese Drama) — A Review

*This review might contain spoilers* I am no longer a typical drama watcher. Drama audiences tend to skew younger and considering the fact that I am in my late twenties, and have been watching Asian dramas for more than 10 years now, some amount of fatigue is bound to creep in. It takes a lot…
