Recaps and reviews of dramas new and old, BL to Xianxia.

Whatever I want to review because I'm petty that way.
I think we get our first and last bit of real love and happiness in the moonlight in episodes 7-8 of #LoveInTheMoonlight #สลักรักในแสงจันทร, but the suffering and angst come with Saenkaew standing up to his horrible father, so I’ll take it

In today's review, I use all my words to babble about my obsession with Thai Omnibus College BL series #BesideTheSky #FoureverYouProjectPart2 #FourEverYou #เพราะรักนำทาง which exists for those of us who love all the tropes. Well, not the one with the food.

Oh hey, #joongdunk are back in #DareYouToDeath #ไขคดีเป็นเห็นคดีตาย I’m expecting silly police work, uneven production, and some good chemistry. I miss the crop-tops, but serious Dunk has a nice voice.

Check out my thoughts on the first two episodes:

Saenkaew and Sasin really go through it in episodes 5-6 of #LoveInTheMoonlight #สลักรักในแสงจันทร with fighting, making up, lotus seeds, kidnapping, sudden storms, romantic cabins on desolate islands… It’s a Lot.

I’m starting 2026 right, with an inadequately fangirling review of #SchoolTripJoinedaGroupImNotCloseto #修学旅行で仲良くないグループに入りました where I talk about how Watarai makes sure that even this sweet, chaste High School BL is not a slow burn.

In episodes 7-8 of #TheProperWayToWriteLove #恋愛ルビの正しいふりかた the universe uses a series of bizarre coincidences to force Hiro to run and confront his feelings, but that’s fine, because Hiro runs and confronts his feelings and then there’s kissing

Saenkaew is handing out the skinship, advice, and kindness in episodes 3 and 4 of #LoveInTheMoonlight #สลักรักในแสงจันทร but that doesn’t make it OK that Sasin becomes mean with jealousy. He really, really owes Saenkaew.

It’s the end of the year and time for a very important heartwarming holiday lesson on production values and pettiness from Japanese BLs #therapygame and #LoveBeginsintheWorldofIf #ifの世界で恋がはじまる (I may be doing some holiday exaggerating here)

Thup is REALLY good at handling all the nonsense thrown his way, both by King AND by Sing in #สิงสาลาตาย #GoddessBlessYouFromDeath not only that, he realizes that maybe there’s a friendly ghost he can talk to.

To prove I’m not always anti-crying in my BL (especially when it’s a good, soap-y lakorn) I’m recapping #LoveInTheMoonlight #สลักรักในแสงจันทร, starting, as one does, with episodes 1-2. Already, they are falling in love in the moonlight.

Now that I’ve finished recapping #ThePrisonerofBeauty I’ve given the entire series an overall review. Definitely an A for romance, but what about the rest of it? Does it get extra points for force ghosts?

In episodes 5-6 of #TheProperWayToWriteLove #恋愛ルビの正しいふりかた Hiro forgets there ever was a revenge plot as he protects Natsuo from someone worse than him and then uses a hand injury to get Natsuo to move in.

Is it weird that I wouldn’t have minded just a little more canal in the last two episodes of #ThePrisonerofBeauty ? At least I got to see some bad guys suffer and a little more angst.

Check out my thoughts on those final episodes here:

Today I have a final review for #MeAndWho #โปตัวปลอม and an initial review for #MeandThee #มีสติหน่อยคุณธีร์, both shows with SEO unfriendly titles that are nonetheless sweet and comforting this stressful season.

Extra points to our cops in #สิงสาลาตาย #GoddessBlessYouFromDeath for *mostly* not letting their cuddling get in the way of investigating the grisly murder of 7 people

In episodes 33-34 of #ThePrisonerofBeauty everything is escalating super fast as we approach the final episodes. Suddenly, it’s all about the advisors, birth, and death.

Today I’ve got a final review of #TheWickedGame which made the mistake of thinking my cold, dead heart would be moved by the sight of beautiful people crying. It’s not.

Read about that, childhood flashbacks, and failed assassination attempts here:

In episodes 3-4 of #TheProperWayToWriteLove #恋愛ルビの正しいふりかた Hiro makes absolutely no progress in revenge on Natsuo while Natsuo makes progress in winning Hiro over.

In episodes 31-32 of #ThePrisonerofBeauty we get back to my favorite parts of the show: inter-relationship conflict. Also, Wei Shao finally gets it and Man Man is too nice about it, but we get lots of cuddling and… more

Today is all about different-sized Japanese men finding love together, with an initial review of #LoveBeginsintheWorldofIf #ifの世界で恋がはじまる and a final review of #PUNKSTRIANGLE I feel spoiled by the JBL world right now.

Thup’s knowledge of the spiritual in #GoddessBlessYouFromDeathEp3 #GoddessBlessYouFromDeathEp4 is suspicious, but King trying to win back an ex by being the Absolute Worst is the real crime.

Besides boxes, #ThePrisonerofBeauty is about Go, ants, water, and cousins. In episodes 29-30 pretty much all of those things are in play, as some old secrets expose Man Man’s lingering doubts, and she fights not to let the past repeat itself.

I blame #SeaKeen for making me watch the latest supernatural-racing-school Thai BL #Head2Head but I have no hard feelings (yet) because I’m enjoying the emotional trauma that is having visions of the future.

Check out my thoughts on racing and school in BL:

For those of us who love weird shaped puzzle pieces finding each other and creepy plant POV I am recapping #TheProperWayToWriteLove #恋愛ルビの正しいふりかた, starting (as always) with episodes 1-2.

Wei Shao’s jealousy issues become more of an issue and then it turns out Man Man ALSO has a Very Important Box in #ThePrisonerofBeauty episodes 27-28. I had no idea this show would be so much about boxes.
